Definitions
- This invention relates to a method of controlling the manufacture of mechanical pulp in a refining process where cellulose-containing material in lumps, such as wood chips * , is refined.
- the chips prior to the refining can be treated with heat and/or chemicals for manufact ⁇ uring TMP (thermomechanical pulp) or CTMP (chemi-thermo- mechanical pulp).
- the refining is carried out in one or several steps by single- or double-disc refiners. These refiners are provided with opposed refiner discs rot ⁇ ating relative one another.
- the discs are provided with disc segments comprising bars and intermediate grooves. Opposed disc segments form a gap where the material is refined during its passage outward.
- the properties of the manufactured pulp are influenced, besides by the quality of the wood chips, by a great number of system parameters.
- system parameters can be mentioned the distance between the disc segments (gap), the load of the motor driving a rotary refiner disc, the pressure by which the refiner discs are pressed in the direction toward each other, the pressure at the feed-in of the chips, the pressure in the housing enclosing the discs, the supply of diluting water, the material flow through the refiner (the production), the material con ⁇ centration.
- Some of these parameters are depending on each other while other are substantially independent. For example, the motor load increases and so does the pressure by which the discs are pressed toward each other when the gap decreases.
- the present invention offers a solution of this problem.
- the invention implies that the vibrations arising in the refiner discs during the refining are utilized for calculating the pulp properties.
- the characterizing features of the invention become apparent from the attached claims.
- the invention is described in greater detail in the follow ⁇ ing, with reference to embodiments and test results shown in the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 shows a frequency analysis of the measured vibrations, Figs .2 show the agreement between measured and calculated tensile strength without and, respectively, with utilization of the vibrations in the refiner discs.
- the frequency depending on the rotation speed of the discs and the design of the disc segments can amount to several thousands c.p.s.
- the meas ⁇ uring is carried out by means of an accelerometer attached to the disc, preferably to the rear side of a segment. In a single-disc refiner the accelerometer is attached on the stationary disc. It is also imaginable to attach accelerometers to both discs in a single- or double-disc refiner, in order to obtain additional information on the vibrations of the discs.
- vibration energy also can be utilized for determining the condition of the processing surfaces of the segments.
- the vibration energy furthermore, can be utilized for comparing the efficiency of disc segments of different types.
- an accelerometer was mounted in a hole drilled in the rear side of a disc segment in the stationary disc.
- the segments were designed with three zones comprising bars and grooves of different size.
- the signal from the accelerometer was simultaneously measured and analysed.
- the frequency range in question was 5 - 5 kc/s.
- Fig. 1 a frequency analysis of this signal is shown.
- the signal can be divided into three differen areas corresponding to the three zones of the segments. In the inner zone comprising the eoacsest bars the frequencies 5.6-11.2 kc/s were noted. In the central zone 11.2-17.6 kc/s, and in the outer zone comprising the finest bars 17.6- 25 kc/s were noted.
- the vibration energy is represented by the surface beneath the frequency curve in Fig. 1. After 800 operation hours new measurements of the system parameters and pulp properties were carried out.
- the vibration energy obtained from the accelerometer signal By including in the calculation of the pulp properties the vibration energy obtained from the accelerometer signal, all measured pulp properties could be predicted with high precision.
- the measured tensile index is shown as a function of the calculated tensile index where the vibration energy has been utilized together with the adjusted production, gap size and material con ⁇ centration. The agreement there lies within the error range. No systematic errors could be stated.
- the deterioration in the tensile strength of the pulp can be explained by the wear of the disc segments.
- the present invention offers such a control possib ⁇ ility.
- the condition of the disc segments can be determined, which also can be utilized for determining the time when the segments have to be exchanged.
- the invention can also be used for comparing different segment patterns and materials.

Abstract
Le fonctionnement du raffineur et la propriété de la pulpe produite sont commandés au moyen d'un accéléromètre placé sur un disque du raffineur, lequel accéléromètre mesure les vibrations à haute fréquence. Le signal produit par l'accéléromètre est converti en énergie vibratoire, laquelle est utilisée avec une ou plusieurs autres variables du procédé pour commander et ajuster ledit procédé.The operation of the refiner and the property of the pulp produced are controlled by means of an accelerometer placed on a disc of the refiner, which accelerometer measures the vibrations at high frequency. The signal produced by the accelerometer is converted into vibrational energy, which is used with one or more other process variables to control and adjust the process.
