Abstract
An apparatus for the separation of ash from a flue gas stream has a hopper defining a flow chamber for the flue gas stream. The hopper has an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion defines a horizontal flue gas inlet opening and a vertical flue gas outlet opening. The lower portion defines a hopper collector opposite the inlet opening. A plurality of generally triangular planar block-off plates are oriented horizontally across the flue gas inlet opening and define a plurality of triangular initial flue path openings therebetween. A plurality of triangular flow plates are mounted to the block-off plates adjacent the flow path openings. The flow plates extend vertically downward toward the hopper collector whereby the flow plates define second flow path openings therebetween in fluid connection with the flue gas outlet opening.
