Description

APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING WATER-IN-OIL EMULSIFIED FUEL AND
SUPPLYING THE SAME
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(a) Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing emulsified fuel and supplying the same to a boiler, and more particularly, to an apparatus for producing and supplying water-in-oil emulsified fuel that supplies to a boiler water-in-oil emulsified fuel, which is emulsified by mixing an emulsifier and water in crude oil such as bunker C oil or bunker A oil. (b) Description of the Related Art
Generally, emulsion refers to the state of uniform dispersion to a minute particle state of a liquid that is within a liquid and unmixed with the same.
In particular, water-in-oil (W/O) emulsified fuel is realized by mixing water or waste water, and a surface active agent (an emulsifier) in a high carbide, high viscosity oil such as crude oil (bunker C oil), which is a low cost, highly efficient heat source that is severely limited in use because it contributes to air pollution. Water-in-oil emulsified fuel refers also to purified oil that is completely combusted in a combustion boiler as a result of micro explosions taking place by water bubbles, and that contains an additive that minimizes the concentration of dust, smoke, SOx, NOx, CO, etc., which are the main causes of air pollution in exhaust gas, such that the resulting fuel is highly efficient and environmentally friendly.
In order to reduce the consumption of petroleum fuel such as kerosene and gasoline, and minimize NOx, smoke, and other such exhausts, there are various methods for producing and combusting emulsified fuel by mixing water and a small amount of a surface active agent with petroleum fuel. In the prior art, in order to obtain a superior emulsified fuel by emulsifying water-in-oil, an emulsifier such as a surface active agent or another additive is mixed into the water-in-oil, and an emulsified fuel is obtained using a high-performance mixer or emulsifying apparatus. However, in the processes of storing, transporting, pre-heating, and performing burner supply, as a result of the differences in specific gravity and surface tension between the fuel oil and water, there is a breakdown in phase stability, separation between the water and oil, and fuel oil is supplied continuously in a non-uniform manner through a system of imprecise and unstable injection amount and injection ratio of water and oil. Therefore, in the combustion process, stoppage of combustion repeatedly occurs and combustion efficiency is unfavorable such that it is difficult to obtain the goal for reducing fuel oil.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in an effort to solve these problems.

With reference to FIG. 1 , an apparatus 10 for producing and supplying water-in-oil emulsified fuel includes an additive storage tank 20 for storing an emulsifier; an emulsion tank 30 for storing water-in-oil emulsified fuel; a raw material supplier for supplying at a predetermined ratio and according to predetermined values B-C oil, an emulsifier, and water, which become the raw materials for water-in-oil emulsified fuel; a first mixing section for consecutively and uniformly mixing the supplied raw materials; and a second mixing section for mixing the primarily mixed raw material oil with re-emulsified fuel to perform emulsion. The emulsifier stored in the additive storage tank 20 is an additive that acts to prevent the separation of water and oil when a high temperature state of the water-in-oil emulsified fuel is maintained.
Glass wool is provided to an exterior of the additive storage tank 20 to insulate the same and maintain a constant temperature. Further, a level gauge 19 is attached to the tank 20 to sense a storage amount of the emulsifier. A steam coil 22 is mounted to an inner surface of the additive storage tank 20 to maintain the stored emulsifier at a temperature of 60 — 110°C . Also, an electric heater 24 is mounted to a lower output side of the additive storage tank 20 to uniformly maintain the emulsifier exiting the tank 20 at a temperature of 60 — 1 10 °C . As a result, the emulsifier exits an additive supply pump 21 at a fixed rate. The additive supply pump 21 will be described below.
The emulsion tank 30 stores water-in-oil emulsified fuel, and, at the same time, performs the function of a service tank that supplies the fuel to a boiler (not shown). Such supply of the water-in-oil emulsified fuel is realized through a boiler supply line Lb, which is formed from a lower, side portion of the emulsion tank 30.
A level switch 34 for adjusting a storage amount of the water-in-oil emulsified fuel, which is established to match a usage load of the boiler, is mounted to the emulsion tank 30. The level switch 34 senses a HIGH or a
LOW level depending on the storage amount of the water-in-oil emulsified fuel in the emulsion tank 30, and at the moment the storage amount of the water-in-oil emulsified fuel reaches a first batch raw material supply amount, operates a low level switch 34b to transmit an operational signal to a fuel supply section. On the other hand, at the moment the storage amount of the water-in-oil emulsified fuel reaches a second batch raw material supply amount, the level switch 34 operates a high level switch 34a to transmit a stop signal to the fuel supply section.
Here, the first batch raw material supply amount refers to a total amount of raw material (B-C oil, emulsifier, water) that is continuously supplied during a first supply time.
Accordingly, it is preferable that the emulsion tank 30 is manufactured having a capacity of at least a two batch raw material supply amount. A circulation electric heater 32 is mounted adjacent to an inner surface of the emulsion tank 30. The circulation electric heater 32 provides sufficient heat to water-in-oil emulsified fuel, which is at a low temperature, newly mixed, and supplied to the emulsion tank 30, such that the fuel is maintained at a temperature of 60 — 80 °C to thereby minimize a temperature difference within the emulsion tank 30. A structure of the circulation electric heater 32 is realized through a shell and tube heat exchanger such that a heat exchange speed is increased. Further, to enable each temperature control, a reducer nozzle is used at an exit according to the flow amount, and an angle of the nozzle is set at 45° to be directed toward an entrance of mixer pumps 28a and 28b, which will be explained below, to thereby create a vortex so that heat circulation of the water-in-oil emulsified fuel is made smooth, and uniformly mixed particles are first raised to an upper level such that outflow occurs starting with stable particles.
A temperature retaining electric heater 31 is mounted to an exterior of the emulsion tank 30. The temperature retaining electric heater 31 senses the temperature of the stored water-in-oil emulsified fuel and maintains the temperature at a predetermined temperature within the range of 60 ~80 °C . Although the heat temperature retaining electric heater 31 undergoes operation linked with the circulation electric heater 32 during an emulsion mixing operation, in the case where the temperature retaining electric heater 31 is stopped for a long duration of time following completion of one operation and before the next operation, the linking is severed and the temperature retaining electric heater 31 operates independently to maintain the emulsion tank at a constant temperature.
The raw material supplier includes pumps and flow meters to supply each of an emulsifier, B-C oil, and water uniformly and according to predetermined values.
First, to supply the emulsifier, there are provided the additive supply pump 21 and an additive flow meter 23. The additive supply pump 21 is connected to an output of the additive storage tank 20, and operates after receiving a LOW signal of the level switch 34 of the emulsion tank 30 to supply an emulsifier at a fixed ratio of 0.5 — 1 % of the first batch raw material supply amount. The additive supply pump 21 discontinues operation when receiving a stop signal from the additive flow meter 23. When receiving the stop signal, the additive supply pump 21 blocks the pipe to thereby act as an additive supply line stop valve.
The additive flow meter 23 is connected to the additive supply pump 21 and controls the same such that an emulsifier is supplied according to an emulsifier adding predetermined value. That is, the additive flow meter 23 operates when detecting a LOW signal of the level switch 34 of the emulsion tank 30. Following the supply of an emulsifier to a predetermined supply amount, the additive flow meter 23 transmits a stop signal to the additive supply pump 21 so that the same discontinues operation. In order to supply B-C oil, there are provided a B-C oil supply pump
12 and a B-C oil flow meter 14. The B-C oil supply pump 12 operates when detecting a LOW signal of the level switch 34 of the emulsion tank 30 to supply B-C oil at a fixed ratio of 69.5 — 89.5% of the first batch raw material supply amount. The B-C oil supply pump 12 discontinues operation when receiving a stop signal from the B-C oil flow meter 14. This signal transmission is realized through a control panel (not shown).
The B-C oil flow meter 14 is connected to the B-C oil supply pump 12 and controls the same such that B-C oil is supplied according to a predetermined B-C oil supply amount. That is, the B-C oil flow meter 14 operates when detecting a LOW signal of the level switch 34 of the emulsion tank 30. Following the supply of B-C oil to the predetermined supply amount, the B-C flow meter 14 transmits a stop signal to the B-C oil supply pump 12 so that the same discontinues operation.
In order to supply water, there are provided a water cutoff valve 16 and a water flow meter 18. The water cutoff valve 16 operates when detecting a LOW signal of the level switch 34 of the emulsion tank 30 to supply water at a fixed ratio of 10 — 30% of the first batch raw material supply amount. The water cutoff valve 16 discontinues operation when receiving a stop signal from the water flow meter 18. This signal transmission is realized through a control panel (not shown).
The water flow meter 18 is connected to the water cutoff valve 16 and controls the same such that water is supplied according to a predetermined water supply amount. That is, the water flow meter 18 operates when detecting a LOW signal of the level switch 34 of the emulsion tank 30. Following the supply of water to the predetermined supply amount, the water flow meter 18 transmits a stop signal to the water cutoff valve 16 to thereby discontinue the supply of water.
During the supply of raw materials, the first mixing section, which performs an initial pre-mix function and maximizes the efficiency of the second mixing section, includes a first mixer 25 and a mixing ejector 27.
An additive supply line La connected to the additive flow meter 23 and a B-C oil supply line Lo connected to the B-C oil flow meter 14 are both connected to the first mixer 25 such that B-C oil and an emulsifier are mixed. With reference to FIG. 2, preferably a single-type (S-type) line mixer is used for the first mixer 25. A water supply line Lw and the first mixer 25 are connected to the mixing ejector 27 such that water is mixed with the raw materials that contain an emulsifier. The mixing ejector 27, with reference to FIG. 3, utilizes a method of performing mixing by inserting a secondary supply pipe in a venturi pipe, which is a pipe having enlarged and reduced inner diameter.
The second mixing section performs the function mixing to minute particles the first raw material oil, which is uniformly mixed in the first mixing section, and includes a mixer pump 28 and a second mixer 29.
The mixer pump 28 is connected to both the mixing ejector 27 and a lower end of the emulsion tank 3, and re-mixes raw material oil supplied from the mixing ejector 27 and emulsified fuel supplied from the emulsion tank 30. The mixer pump 28 undergoes continuous operation while the apparatus of the embodiment of the present invention is driven, and it is preferable that the mixer pump 28 has a capacity to enable mixing of the entire emulsified fuel capacity stored in the emulsion tank 30 during the time it takes for a combustion apparatus to consume one batch. Further, the mixer pump 28 includes a pre-mixer pump 28b and a main mixer pump 28a, which are connected in parallel between the emulsion tank 30 and the second mixer 29, to thereby allow provisions against states of emergency and for repair of the apparatus.
The second mixer 29 is connected to the mixer pump 28 such that water-in-oil emulsified fuel, in which raw material oil that undergoes primary mixing is emulsified to uniform minute particles, is supplied to the emulsion tank 30 through the circulation electric heater 32. For the second mixer 29, with reference to FIG. 4, a double-type (D-type) line mixer is preferably used.
A capacity of the second mixer 29 is at least two times the first batch raw material supply amount, and the raw material oil that undergoes primary mixing and the emulsified fuel ideally mixed in the emulsion tank 30 are each supplied at approximately 20 - 50% to undergo secondary mixing, thereby maximizing a water ratio and particle stability. An operation of the apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention will now be described.
The basic operation of the apparatus 0 for producing and supplying water-in-oil emulsified fuel will now be described. The apparatus 10 for producing and supplying water-in-oil emulsified fuel operates as a system that replenishes and supplies an emulsified fuel to the emulsion tank 30 according to a load amount of a boiler (not shown) while retaining a predetermined amount of fuel in the emulsion tank 30.
In a normal operating state, operation begins at or above a low level of the emulsion tank 30. The level switch 34 senses a low level and transmits a LOW signal while fuel is being consumed by the operation of the boiler.
A signal is sent to the raw material supplier from the control panel (not shown), which receives the transmitted LOW signal, such that the additive supply pump 21 and the B-C oil supply pump 12 are operated, and the water cutoff valve 16 is opened, thereby performing first batch driving. In first batch driving, an emulsifier, B-C oil, and water are supplied for a predetermined duration of time and at a predetermined ratio.
With the operation of the additive supply pump 21 and the B-C oil supply pump 12, the emulsifier and the B-C oil supplied respectively therefrom are mixed in the first mixer 25. Also, water is supplied with the opening of the water cutoff valve 16, and this supplied water is mixed with the fuel of mixed emulsifier and B-C oil in the mixing ejector 27.
The raw materials, in a state where they are all mixed, are supplied to the mixer pump 28, and emulsified fuel that is pre-mixed to 20 — 50% of the raw material oil is supplied to the mixer pump 28 from the emulsion tank
30 and mixed with the raw material oil in the intake side.
The raw material oil mixed as described above is sent to the second mixer 29 by the mixer pump 28, and the oil is mixed to an emulsified state having uniform particles in the second mixer 29 and transmitted to the emulsion tank 30. If the temperature of the emulsion tank 30 is at or below a predetermined temperature as a result of the temperature of the emulsified fuel being low when supplied to the emulsion tank 30, the circulation electric heater 32 is turned On to raise the temperature of the emulsified fuel before supply. When the temperature of the emulsion tank is at or above a predetermined temperature, the power to the electric heater 32 is turned Off. With regard to the flow rate determined for the first batch operation, if supply completion is determined by each of the flow meters, the power to each pump is turned Off by the signals of the flow meters that discontinue supply. That is, if the predetermined amount of the B-C oil is supplied from the B-C oil flow meter 14, power to the B-C oil supply pump 12 is turned Off after this is sensed in the control panel. Also, if the predetermined amount of the emulsifier is supplied from the additive flow meter 23, power to the additive supply pump 21 is turned Off after this is sensed in the control panel. Finally, if the predetermined amount of the water is supplied from the water flow meter 18, the water cutoff valve 16 is closed after this is sensed in the control panel, thereby discontinuing the supply of water.
After the supply of the first batch raw material, the amount of the emulsified fuel in the emulsion tank 30 is reduced to at or below the second batch raw material supply amount. Also, the emulsified fuel in the emulsion tank 30 is circulated through the mixer pump 28 and the second mixer 29 so that continuous mixing is realized until emulsified fuel of as much as the first batch raw material supply amount is consumed depending on the boiler usage load. If the low level switch 34 is operated as a result of the continuous consumption of the emulsified fuel depending on the boiler fuel usage amount, the above process is repeated so that emulsified fuel is replenished.

A level switch 49 is mounted in the service tank 45 to allow for adjustment of the amount of the water-in-oil emulsified fuel, which is established to correspond to a usage load of the boiler. That is, the emulsified fuel transporting pump 47 operates when a LOW signal of the level switch 49 of the service tank 45 is sensed, and discontinues operation when a LOW signal of a level switch 46 of the emulsion tank 43 is sensed.
A temperature retaining electric heater 48 is mounted to an outer circumference of the service tank 45 such that the temperature of the water- in-oil emulsified fuel stored therein may be maintained at a predetermined temperature.
