Abstract
The present invention is generally directed toward an apparatus and method for the heating of vaporized aqueous mixture, more specifically toward the pre-heating a vaporization chamber. In a power plant utilizing a cleaning process, such as a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) process, or other type of process, to remove harmful components, such as nitrous oxide (NOx), from a stream of flue gas wherein the cleaning process includes the injection of vaporized aqueous mixture into the stream of flue gas, the present invention comprises a vaporizing chamber having a heat source to facilitate the heating and subsequent vaporization of the ammonia.
Claims4
A vaporization chamber assembly utilized in a power plant utilizing a process to remove components harmful to the atmosphere from a stream of flue gas, wherein said process includes the injection of a vaporized aqueous mixture in the stream of flue gas by way of a distribution grid, said vaporization chamber assembly comprising:
- a vaporization chamber having an inlet for receiving an aqueous mixture, a heat source for heating said vaporization chamber to a temperature sufficient to vaporize said aqueous mixture, an air assembly in communication with said vaporization chamber for pressurizing said aqueous mixture in a vaporized state, and an outlet for providing said vaporized aqueous mixture to said distribution grid.
