Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for continuous evaporation crystallization from a suspension for the extraction of sugar consisting of juice and crystals, in which concentrated feed dissolution and crystal base magma are continuously fed into a first treatment room and product magma is continuously withdrawn from the last treatment room, the suspension being successively used by several separate, round treatment rooms are passed through and placed in each treatment room with simultaneous supply of heat in an internal circulation flow and level-controlled from the individual treatment rooms to the next following treatment room.
  • the invention further relates to a device for carrying out such a method with treatment rooms which are arranged one above the other as separate cylindrical apparatus chambers, a tapering chamber floor tapering downwards, a heating medium through which a heating medium flows with intermediate spaces through which the suspension can flow, and devices for removing the Brüdens and for transferring the suspension from the upper to the lower apparatus chamber.
  • each apparatus chamber is designed in accordance with the agitator boilers for discontinuous crystallization.
  • a heating chamber with radially external heating elements, a central guide tube and an agitator held at the bottom are provided above the chamber base.
  • the agitators in the apparatus chamber through which the first flow passes are designed as high-speed mixing stirrers, while the agitators in the subsequent chambers are designed as low-speed circulation stirrers.
  • the chambers there are level controls for leveling the level just above the heating chamber.
  • the high-speed mixing stirrers cause highly turbulent shear fields and a visible circulation flow, while the low-speed stirrers only lead to an essentially laminar circulation flow.
  • the suspension is kept in a concentric ring circulation flow in all apparatus chambers with the intake juice being fed in on the suction side.
  • the suspension is withdrawn from the individual treatment rooms on the pressure side and fed to the next treatment room on the suction side.
  • an inlet pipe opening out above the stirrer of the respective apparatus chamber is connected to a feed line via a control valve.
  • a suspension discharge pipe equipped with a control valve or a control flap is provided and connected to a suspension supply pipe of the next chamber.
  • the control valve of the feed pipe for the intake juice is equipped with a sensor arranged in the associated apparatus chamber to determine the viscosity, the electrical conductivity, the density or the boiling point increase of the suspension and the control valve or the control flap of the suspension drain pipe with one in the same apparatus chamber just above the Heating device arranged level sensor or switch connected.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the method explained at the outset with regard to the suspension residence time distribution and to simplify the device for carrying out the method.
  • This object is achieved in that the suspension rotates once in each treatment room on a spiral path, which is caused by the superimposition of a forced circular movement caused by the feeding of further suspensions around the axis of the treatment room and by the mammoth pump effect occurring in the heating area generated orbital movement results.
  • suspension is also alternately guided up and down on the positively guided circular path, so that a corrugated spiral path results.
  • the transfer of the suspension from one treatment room to the next treatment room can take place in the free overflow;
  • the level of the suspension in each treatment room can be regulated by controlling the overflow height.
  • syrup can also be fed into at least some treatment rooms in a controlled manner.
  • each apparatus chamber is arranged around a central guide tube which is open at the top and bottom and comprises a plurality of heating chambers which, in terms of their spaces through which the suspension flows, through in the circumferential direction Partitions arranged at the same angular distance from one another are delimited from one another, but are in flow connection with one another via defined flow cross sections in the circumferential direction, which form a forced guide for the suspension in the circumferential direction, the first heating chamber seen in the flow direction of the suspension and the last heating chamber one Have suspension overflow that with the suspension inlet of the underlying Apparatus chamber is connected.
  • the guide tube is divided into segments by the partition walls mentioned, which are closed on the casing side and are only in flow-exchanging connection with the associated heating chamber for the suspension on the floor and ceiling sides.
  • a partition wall alternately projects above the maximum suspension level between two heating chambers, but has a suspension circulation opening below the heater above the conical chamber floor, while the partition wall following in the flow direction of the suspension has an upper overflow into the has the following heating chamber and seals the bottom of the chamber in a flow-tight manner.
  • each apparatus chamber is structurally particularly simple and basically does not require any control. It is particularly advantageous that the desired flow circulation of the suspension is achieved without agitators or other driven agitating or mixing tools. However, since the flowability of the suspension from top to bottom is getting worse, it can be advantageous, depending on the consistency of the suspension, in the lowest apparatus chamber or in the lower apparatus chambers, e.g. the bottom two chambers to provide driven stirring or mixing tools, e.g. can be designed as a lifting system according to the device as described in German patent application DE-A-35 17 511.7. Such a lifting system would serve to support the mammoth pump effect.
  • the superimposed apparatus chambers can be connected to one another.
  • the vapor is then drawn off via a juice separator on the top chamber of the apparatus.
  • the pressure is the same in all of the apparatus chambers.
  • the vapors are fed to a condenser and the non-condensable gases to a water ring pump.
  • the atmosphere in the vapors is under atmospheric pressure.
  • the evaporation crystallization tower shown consists of cylindrical apparatus chambers 1, which are separated from one another and are arranged one above the other, the number of which results from the amount of magma to be generated.
  • Each apparatus chamber 1 has a chamber floor 2 which tapers downwards in a conical shape and is provided with a central flow cone 3, which at the same time forms a chimney hood for a vapor outlet, which merges upwards into a vertical central vapor tube 4. Only in the lowest apparatus chamber is such a vapor extraction not provided.
  • the apparatus chambers 1 can be connected to one another on the vapor side.
  • the vapor is then drawn off via a juice separator 5 on the upper apparatus chamber 1; in this embodiment there is then the same pressure in all apparatus chambers 1.
  • the vapors are fed to a condenser, not shown, the non-condensable gases to a water ring pump, also not shown.
  • the atmosphere in the vapors is under atmospheric pressure.
  • each apparatus chamber 1 there is also a heater 6 through which a heating medium, preferably steam, flows and which is arranged around a central guide tube 7 which is open at the top and bottom and the upper edge of which is flush with the upper edge of the heater 6.
  • the heater 6 of each apparatus chamber 1 comprises four heating chambers 8, 9, 10, 11, which are each limited by radial dividing walls 12 arranged in the circumferential direction at the same angular distance from one another, the guide tube 7, the flow cone 3, the chamber bottom 2 and the jacket of the corresponding apparatus chamber 1.
  • the partition walls 12 also divide the guide tube 7 into segments 13, which are closed on the casing side by the vapor tube 4, the guide tube 7 and the partition walls 12 and are only in flow-exchanging connection on the floor and ceiling sides with the associated heating chamber 8-10.
  • the heater 6 consists of concentrically spaced double-walled ring segments 6a, which are connected to each other in terms of flow and are associated with diametrically opposed, hollow partition walls 12 and have a steam inlet or outlet 14.
  • a valve-controlled inlet 16 for concentrated feed dissolution (syrup) and a further valve-controlled inlet 17 for crystal-foot magma are provided in the uppermost apparatus chamber 1. Both inlets 16, 17 open into a suspension inlet 18 at the beginning of the first heating chamber 8, from where the suspension flows in succession through the four heating chambers 8-11, in order to then pass through a suspension overflow 19 in the last heating chamber 11 the suspension inlet 18 of the apparatus chamber 1 underneath reach.
  • the suspension level 20 is set in each apparatus chamber 1 by overflow flaps 21.
  • the ring segments 6a In order to form a positive guide for the suspension in the circumferential direction of each apparatus chamber 1, the ring segments 6a have intermediate spaces through which the suspension flows, which are delimited by the partition walls 12 mentioned from the respectively adjacent heating chamber 8-11.
  • the separating wall 12 between the heating chambers 8 and 9 seen in the flow direction of the suspension also projects beyond the maximum suspension level 20, but is at a clear distance from the chamber bottom 2, forming a suspension circulation opening 22, while the downstream one seen in the flow direction of the suspension is the
  • the heating chamber 9 separating the heating chamber 10 from the partition 12 is connected to the chamber bottom 2 in a flow-tight manner, but has an upper overflow 23 into the subsequent heating chamber 10 for the suspension.
  • the partition 12 that then follows between the heating chambers 10 and 11 corresponds in its design to the partition between the heating chambers 8 and 9.
  • the suspension formed from the two inlets 16, 17 thus flows downward from the suspension inlet 18 between the ring segments 6a of the first heating chamber 8 in order to pass through the suspension circulation opening 22 of the partition wall 12 into the subsequent heating chamber 9, where the Suspension flows upwards between the ring segments 6a and reaches the heating chamber 10 via the overflow 23, from which in turn flows through the suspension circulation opening 22 below into the last heating chamber 11, from which the suspension then flows via the suspension overflow 19 into the Suspension inlet 18 of the underlying apparatus chamber 1 arrives.
  • the suspension is therefore positively guided on a circular path and alternately directed upwards and downwards on this circular path, so that there is a wavy flow course which is closed to form a circular ring.
  • a valve-controlled feed line 24 for additional syrup opens into the suspension inlet 18 of each apparatus chamber 1, which is added to the inlet of each apparatus chamber 1 in a controlled manner depending on the magma consistency. After the suspension has passed through all the apparatus chambers 1 from top to bottom, the product magma is drawn off from the bottom 2 of the lowest apparatus chamber 1 via an outlet 25.
  • Figure 1 shows circumferentially offset longitudinal sections for the individual apparatus chambers 1.
  • a partition wall 12 with an overflow 23 corresponding to the partition wall between the heating chambers 9 and 10 is shown, while the second and bottom apparatus chamber partition walls 12 according to the partition walls between the heating chambers 8 and 9 and 10, respectively and 11 show.
