DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

(3) As shown in FIG. 1, a dual-bed system for preventing a boiler heating surface from being contaminated comprises a fluidized bed 4, a cyclone separator 5, a coal ash distributor 6, an ash-coal mixer 12, a lower pyrolysis bed 14, a return feeder 16 and a cleaner 13. The cyclone separator 5 is connected with an upper lateral side of the fluidized bed 4 so that the high-temperature coal ash from the fluidized bed 4 enters the cyclone separator 5, the outlet end of the cyclone separator 5 is connected with the inlet end of the coal ash distributor 6 which is provided with two outlets one of which is connected with the inlet of the return feeder 16 and the other one of which is connected with the inlet of the ash-coal mixer 12. The outlet of the ash-coal mixer 12 is connected with the inlet of the lower pyrolysis bed 14; the lower pyrolysis bed 14 is provided with two outlets one of which is connected with the inlet of the external bed 15 and the other one of which is connected with the inlet of the cleaner 13; the outlet of the external bed 15 is connected with the inlet of the return feeder 16; the return feeder 16 close to the lower lateral side of the fluidized bed 4 is connected with the inlet on the lower lateral side of the fluidized bed 4; and the outlet of the cleaner 13 is connected with the inlet of the lower lateral side of the fluidized bed 4.

(4) A heat exchanger 7 is arranged behind the cyclone separator 5 and connected with a draught fan 8 which is connected with a chimney 9.

(5) Coal is fed into the ash-coal mixer 12 via a feeder which is connected with the ash-coal mixer 12, and the feeder 11 is provided with a coal hopper 10.

(6) The cleaner 13 may be a filter.

(7) The working process of the whole system is as follows:

(8) As shown in FIG. 1, in the initial operation phase of a boiler, a non-local coal may be blended or external ash may be added through the coal hopper 1 and the feeder 2 until the boiler runs normally and generates a given amount of coal ash, then the coal ash generated by the boiler is used to pyrolyze the raw coal from the coal hopper 10 and the feeder 11. The feeding of the coal using the coal hopper 1 and the feeder 2 can be stopped after the lower pyrolysis bed 14 runs normally. When the boiler runs normally, the semi-cake resulting from the pyrolysis is combusted with the air from the blower 3 in the furnace chamber of the fluidized bed 4, and the resulting coal ash and smoke enters the separator 5 to be separated. After the temperature of the separated smoke is reduced by the heat exchanger 7, the smoke is discharged into the air by the draught fan 8 through the chimney 9. The separated coal ash enters the distributor 6 to be divided into two parts according to the need of the lower pyrolysis bed 14, one part of the coal ash is directly returned to the furnace of the fluidized bed 4 by the return feeder 16 while the other part of the coal ash enters the mixer 12 to be mixed with the high-alkalinity coal from the coal hopper 10 and the feeder 11. The hot ash and the high-alkalinity coal uniformly mixed in the mixer 12 enter the lower pyrolysis bed 14 to be pyrolyzed; after the solids contained in the gas resulting from the pyrolysis are removed by the cleaner 13, the gas is subjected to a subsequent processing such as cooling, the pyrolyzed hot ash and high-alkalinity semi-cake enters the external bed 15 so that pyrolyzed particles are combusted and exchanged in heat, then the hot ash and high-alkalinity semi-cake enters the return feeder 16. The hot ash and high-alkalinity semi-cake entering the return feeder 16 is fed into the fluidized bed 4 by smoke so as to be combusted in the furnace of the fluidized bed 4. The slag discharging of the boiler is carried out on the bottom of the fluidized bed 4. Most of volatilizable sodium is removed after the high-alkalinity coal is pyrolyzed in the lower fluidized bed 14, as the sodium content of the coal is reduced, the content of the active sodium contained in the smoke resulting from the combustion carried out in the chamber of the fluidized bed 4 is greatly reduced, thus there is almost no contamination caused when the smoke passes the subsequent heat-absorbing surface.
