Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for the continuous measurement of turbidity of a liquid contaminated by particles causing turbidity with the aid of a measuring probe, which has an end window and a built-in optical system for assessing the liquid illuminated at least in the area of the measuring probe, and also relates to a method for measuring the turbidity.
- a measuring probe is generally used for the turbidity measurement of a contaminated liquid, through which the liquid flowing past or in a container is illuminated.
- the rays reflected by the particles causing turbidity are collected by an optical system built into the probe and fed to a receiver, where the intensity of the reflected rays is recorded and any necessary control steps are initiated.
- a disadvantage of such devices is that the end window of the probe that comes into contact with the liquid quickly fogs up with the particles contained in the liquid.
- the service intervals - even with compensated systems - are largely determined by the contamination of the end window.
- Another after Part of this is that the misted end window falsifies the measurement in the sense of an apparently stronger reflection.
- the invention has for its object to provide a measuring device of the type mentioned, which delivers flawless results over long periods of time and requires only minimal service.
- the inventive solution to this problem is served by a measuring chamber through which at least a partial flow of the liquid flows, in which the measuring probe is arranged such that the liquid flow strikes the end window at an angle.
- the end window Due to the constant flushing of the end window, which can be reinforced with the help of a nozzle, the end window is mechanically self-cleaning, which makes precipitation on the window practically impossible. Accurate measurement results are obtained and an occasional check of the device is only recommended for safety reasons.
- the device can be used to monitor pure and industrial water, condensates and emulsions as well as industrial water, practically for any liquid. Areas of application of the facility are e.g. water supply and treatment, sewage treatment plants, process engineering, washing plants, etc.
- the tubular measuring chamber 1 completely filled with liquid, is closed on one side by the stopper 2, on the other side the measuring probe 3 is inserted and held in a sealing manner by the union nut 4. It has the measuring space 5, to which the extension 6 is also connected, the purpose of which is mentioned below.
- Connected to the measuring chamber 1 are the two axially aligned tubes 7, through which the liquid to be checked flows in the direction of the arrows 8.
- the axes of the measuring chamber 1 and the tubes 7 intersect at an angle other than 90 °.
- the measuring chamber 1 and the tubes 7 are made, for example, of FVC and connected to one another by gluing, but they can also be cast together as a cross piece.
- Two or more beam guides 9 are installed in the measuring probe 3 and irradiate the liquid in the measuring space 5 through the end window 10. Furthermore, the optical system 11 with the beam guide 12 is also accommodated in the measuring probe.
- the end window 10 can be made of conventional glass, but better it is made of quartz glass or sapphire. It is arranged in such a way that the liquid flow in the tubes 7 strikes it directly at an angle, preferably at an angle of 45 °. This ensures that the flowing liquid constantly mechanically cleans the end window and therefore no precipitation can form on it, which could falsify the measurement or even make it impossible.
- a bypass operation is indicated, ie only part of the liquid is passed through the measuring chamber 1, which is sufficient for the assessment of the total liquid volume. If, on the other hand, the amount of liquid flowing through the measuring chamber is too small to prevent fogging of the end window, it is advantageous to install the nozzle 13 in the pipe 7 in such a way that its jet is directed directly onto the end window 10. If there is a possibility of gas bubbles forming in the liquid or being carried along by them, then it is advantageous to pressurize the liquid in the measuring chamber in order to eliminate or at least reduce the gas bubbles.
- the liquid to be monitored flows through the measuring chamber 1.
- the liquid is illuminated in the area of the measuring probe 3, for example with light beams.
- turbid particles e.g. Solid particles, or as is the case with an emulsion, reflect the rays.
- These are collected by the optical system 11 and fed into the beam guide 12, which feeds them to a receiver (not shown).
- the intensity of the reflected rays is a measure of the turbidity of the liquid.
