Vacuum Paddle Fast Pyrolysis Reactor Design and Internal Heat Transfer Investigation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fast pyrolysis is cracking process in which macromolecule of biomass is broken into small molecular under moderate temperature and at high heating speed. Bio-oil produced by the process can be used as potential alternatives of diesel oil and other chemicals. By investigate different kinds of reactor, a new type reactor called vacuum paddle fast pryoysis reactor is developed with low manufacture cost and operating fee and more stable performance. Two stage condensing system composed of 1st quench stage and 2nd cooling heat exchanger is designed, which is proven effective in avoiding secondary cracking of biomass oil and eliminating block of equipment by tar. At same time, a model describing heat transfer in new reactor is established and solved by unsteady heat conduction equation, which give conclusion on minimum agitating speed and therefore, provide basic theoretical foundation. Keywords: fast pyrolysis, vacuum paddle reactor, condenser, heat transfer
