Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for the heat treatment of divided materials and in particular of powdered or granular materials.
  • Heat treatment using microwaves (MO) or ultra high frequency waves (UHF) which are between approximately 300 Megahertz and approximately 30 Gigahertz is currently spreading more and more, thanks in particular to the great availability of this energy. , its good propagation in various atmospheres, its good regulation and its satisfactory enslavement.
  • the homogeneous heating throughout the mass of the treated product which it also provides, has enabled numerous applications of this form of energy, both domestic and industrial applications.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device which not only makes it possible to keep on the one hand the most satisfactory single-mode waveguide-device with the highest energy density - but also, d on the other hand, to provide a device which makes it possible to continuously advance the material to be treated at a large, constant and adjustable flow rate, while maintaining it in a maximum energy field.
  • One of the aims of the present invention is also to be able to use low power energy sources, produced in large series, therefore economically very advantageous.
  • the subject of the present invention is a device for the continuous heat treatment of divided materials and in particular of powdered or granular materials, by UHF radiation, is characterized in accordance with claim 1.
  • the sheath and the partitions substantially perpendicular to the sheath represent between 1/4 and 1/2 of the total height of the waveguide .
  • the material to be treated would of course be in the maximum field of action, but the useful volume of the treated material would be reduced; if on the other hand the propeller touched the wall of the sheath, that is to say if the fixed partitions disappeared perpendicular to the sheath, the volume of materials treated would be maximum, but also the loss of energy, because the current lines of the wall itself would be cut, the optimum effect being, according to the invention, between 1/4 and 1/2 of the total height of the waveguide.
  • the width of the excitation device or dimension according to the pitch of the propeller exceeds the pitch of the propeller.
  • the thickness of the propeller in particular in the vicinity of the fixed part of the waveguide constituted by the partitions, is calculated in such a way that there is never any communication between two excitation guides.
  • This modality of the invention which precisely allows the use of low-power and very inexpensive commercial magnetrons, makes the device according to the present invention particularly suitable for all heat treatments using large quantities of materials.
  • the thickness of the fixed partitions perpendicular substantially to the sheath is also calculated so that there is no communication between two excitation guides.
  • the device is provided with means for recovering and using the magnetron cooling air to optionally remove water vapor from the treated material.
  • the heat treatment device is pressurized by an inert gas, such as nitrogen for example.
  • the material inlet and outlet openings are square section tubes whose side is at most equal to half the wavelength used for the treatment of the material.
  • the material inlet and outlet openings are tubes of circular section, the diameters of which do not allow the propagation of the wave used for the treatment of the matter.
  • the thickness of the sheath lining which is made of non-polar materials such as polyethylene or polystyrene, and is housed between the partitions, represents 1 / 4 to 1/2 of the total height of the waveguide.
  • the sleeve is formed of two half-sleeves assembled by two flanges.
  • the edge of the propeller which faces the partition is cut in a bevel.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to a new device for the heat treatment of large quantities of divided materials, as well as the overall devices and methods in which the devices according to the present invention are included.
  • this module 7 can measure 600 mm in length. It is provided with two magnetrons 2 and two excitation guides 3 of 70 mm width for example (between two successive magnetrons there are, for example, three propeller pitches 18 of total length of 150 mm) the diameter of the material supply and output tubes is 60 mm for example.
  • the module is particularly suitable for 2.45 GHz microwave (the power of each magnetron is 1 kW).
  • the height 14 of the partitions 9 is 20 mm for example.
  • the material to be treated is located between the turns 10 of the propeller, in the lower part, near the drum axis 13. Knowing the minimum value of the loss factor ⁇ "of the material to be treated, as well as its volume , the number of turns between two sources is determined, so that all the energy emitted by one source is absorbed before the energy from the next source arrives.
  • Figure 3 The mobile part of this waveguide is shown in Figure 3 (Figure 3a is a longitudinal sectional view and Figure 3b is a cross-sectional view).
  • the total height of the propeller plus drum is 440 mm, the propeller alone measuring 120 mm, which gives a fixed part / total height ratio for this exemplary embodiment.
  • this module allow the useful filling of 4.8 I, or 90 kg of material per hour.
  • ten of these modules one in the extension of the other after the removal of the flanges 8, one arrives at a treatment of nearly a ton of materials per hour, for an apparatus the total length of which does not exceed 6 m.
  • the sleeve 6 can advantageously be constituted by two half-sleeves 11, assembled by the flanges 15, to facilitate the mounting of these devices.
  • Figure 4 shows a "section" of the waveguide bounded by the sheath 6, the two fixed partitions 9, the two turns 10, and the surface of the drum axis 13.
  • the material divided during treatment 17 is located in the lower part of the Archimedes screw above the gasket 16 .
  • the thickness 12 of the turns 10 in the vicinity of the partitions 9, is calculated so that there is never any communication between two excitation guides. (It is 15 mm for the non-limiting example described in the above).
  • the edge 19 of the propeller which faces the partition 9 is cut in a bevel.
  • the width, or dimension according to the pitch of the propeller 18, of the excitation device 3 applied against the sheath 6 is such that it exceeds the pitch of the propeller 18, this to avoid the reflection of the wave on the source .
  • the device according to the present invention can, if desired, be pressurized by an inert gas - such as nitrogen for example -. It may also include (not shown in the figures) means for using the cooling air of the magnetrons 2 to remove, if necessary, the water vapor, for example, released from the treated material.
  • an inert gas - such as nitrogen for example -. It may also include (not shown in the figures) means for using the cooling air of the magnetrons 2 to remove, if necessary, the water vapor, for example, released from the treated material.
