Abstract
Post-combustion conditioning systems are described that include a flue gas conditioning device configured to condition an exhaust stream to produce a conditioned stream. First and second outlet ducts can be fluidly coupled to, and substantially supported by, the flue gas conditioning device. This advantageously can eliminate costly ductwork, reduce the space required, and reduce the pressure drop of the system. The first outlet duct can fluidly couple the flue gas conditioning device to an exhaust duct, such that the conditioned stream can flow from the first conditioning device via the first outlet duct.
Claims20
A post-combustion conditioning system, comprising:
- a first flue gas conditioning device configured to condition an exhaust stream to produce a conditioned stream, wherein at least a portion of the conditioned stream exits though a top surface of the first flue gas conditioning device;
- first and second outlet ducts, each of which is fluidly coupled to the first flue gas conditioning device, wherein each of the first and second outlet ducts is substantially supported by the top surface of the first flue gas conditioning device;
- and
- wherein the first outlet duct is fluidly coupled to an exhaust duct, such that the conditioned stream can flow from the first conditioning device via the first outlet duct.
A post-combustion conditioning system, comprising:
- a first flue gas conditioning device configured to condition an exhaust stream to produce a conditioned stream;
- first and second outlet ducts, each of which is fluidly coupled to, and substantially supported by, the first flue gas conditioning device;
- wherein the first outlet duct is fluidly coupled to an exhaust duct, such that the conditioned stream can flow from the first conditioning device via the first outlet duct;
- a third outlet duct fluidly coupled to the first flue gas conditioning device, and wherein the third outlet duct is substantially supported by the first flue gas conditioning device;
- and
- wherein the third outlet duct fluidly couples the first flue gas conditioning device to a second flue gas conditioning device.
A post-combustion conditioning system, comprising:
- a first flue gas conditioning device configured to condition an exhaust stream to produce a conditioned stream;
- first and second outlet ducts, each of which is fluidly coupled to, and substantially supported by, the first flue gas conditioning device;
- wherein the first outlet duct is fluidly coupled to an exhaust duct, such that the conditioned stream can flow from the first conditioning device via the first outlet duct;
- an N outlet duct fluidly coupled to the first flue gas conditioning device, and that includes the first and second outlet ducts;
- wherein the N outlet duct is substantially supported by the first flue gas conditioning device;
- and
- wherein N is greater than three.
