Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mixing device for mixing two liquids at a constant mixture volume flow to supply the headbox of a paper machine.
  • a mixing device according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from DE-PS 40 05 281 (Fig.3).
  • a mixing device for achieving the same purpose and is known from the German utility model application G 91 04 609.
  • a mixing device is presented which also serves to mix several partial volume flows in such a way that a constant mixture volume flow is created.
  • a state-of-the-art concept is to section the headbox over the working width and to supply the individual sections with suspensions of different material densities. As the material density of a section increases, the basis weight of the paper web increases at this point and vice versa.
  • the fiber orientation of the paper web is a function of the angle at which the jet emerges from the headbox
  • the fiber orientation can be influenced in a targeted manner by changing the headbox geometry, for example in the form of changes in geometry at the exit gap.
  • Geometric changes to the headbox influence the to different degrees, depending on the point of action Amount of suspension released from the headbox in the associated section. The consequence of this is that, in the above-described conception, the basis weight at the point of engagement of the paper web also changes unintentionally when there is an intervention in the fiber orientation profile.
  • the variation of the material densities in the individual sections can be achieved by assigning a mixer to each section, in which two partial volume flows of different material density are mixed with one another, and the mixture volume flow is fed exclusively to the corresponding section of the headbox.
  • An indispensable prerequisite for not changing the fiber orientation of the section when changing the consistency is the absolute constancy of the mixture volume flow irrespective of the partial volume flow ratio set on the mixer.
  • Another concept for influencing the fiber orientation and the cross-sectional area profile provides for the mixture volume flow and the consistency to be changed in a locally restricted manner.
  • the effect of the mixture volume flow change on fiber orientation is based on the relationships described above.
  • the weight per unit area is adjusted by changing the consistency, whereby in this concept, too, the demand for absolute consistency of the mixture volume flow in the case of changes in consistency remains, so that changes in consistency do not influence the fiber orientation profile at the same time.
  • a valve in the mixture volume flow can be installed as an actuator for fiber orientation adjustment.
  • the invention has for its object to design a structurally simple, inexpensive and reliable mixing device such that the mixture volume flow c, regardless of the size of the partial volume flow b, remains constant around the basis weight and fiber orientation cross profile of a paper web largely independent of one another and locally narrowly limited influence and to avoid the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art.
  • an essential idea of the invention is to combine two opposing effects of fluid mechanics so that the sum of two partial volume flows a and b entering a mixer remains constant regardless of the ratio of the partial volume flows to one another and with a low pressure drop across the mixer.
  • the mixture volume flow c decreases, which is due to the increase in turbulence at the mixing point. This corresponds to the negative effect.
  • the inventors have now recognized that a combination of both effects can be achieved by skillfully selecting the angles ⁇ and ⁇ such that the decrease in the mixture volume flow due to turbulence at the mixing point is exactly compensated for by the Venturi effect. I.e. the same mixture volume flows are always obtained regardless of the partial volume flow ratio.
  • the solid curve III in FIG. 1 shows the relationships measured on a real mixer. Turbulence and Venturi effect have the same effect on the mixture volume flow with a suitable choice of the angle over a large operating range, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the angle of the equilibrium state is a function of the mixer geometry.
  • a prerequisite for the constancy of the mixture volume flow is the existence of the flow resistance W in the course of the discharge line C and further that the inlet pressure of the partial volume flow a in which no actuator is located and the outlet pressure of the mixer is kept constant.
  • the idea according to the invention is to make the energy exchange between the partial volume flows at the mixing point leading to acceleration or deceleration so large by suitable choice of the angle of the partial volume flows to one another and the pipe diameter that the mixture volume flow is always constant regardless of the partial volume flow ratio.
  • the fact that the inlet pressure of a partial volumetric flow and the outlet pressure of the mixture volumetric flow must be constant does not constitute a restriction for the operation of the mixing device on a paper machine, since steady pressure fields are always sought in the distribution system before the headbox and in the headbox in order to ensure constant paper properties .
  • the existing task can therefore be solved by using a single valve which is specially adapted to the properties of the fiber suspension and which controls a partial volume flow of low material density.
  • the design of the supply and discharge lines described can take any cross-sectional shape.
  • FIG. 1 shows the measurement results of a mixing device corresponding to that shown in FIG. 2.
  • the partial volume flow ratio a / b is plotted on the abscissa, and the mixture volume flow c is shown on the ordinate.
  • Fig. 2 shows a mixing device according to claim 2.
  • supply line B also a straight supply line, is added at a mixing angle.
  • An actuator S is installed in the feed line B and regulates the size of the partial volume flow b.
  • the partial volume flow b is led through the actuator via the supply line B to the mixing chamber M, in that the partial volume flow a coming through the supply line A meets the partial volume flow b and is discharged as a mixture volume flow c through the discharge line C.
  • a flow resistance W is further stylized in the derivation C, which contains a necessary prerequisite for the functioning of the mixing device.
  • Fig. 3 shows a mixing device as described under Fig. 1, however, in addition to the built-in the partial volume flow control device S1 there is a further control device S2, which is installed in the course of the derivative C following the flow resistance W.
  • Fig. 4 shows a mixing device, as described in Fig. 3, but in addition, in the derivative C built-in resistor W1 a second flow resistance W2 is installed in the course of the feed line A.
  • Fig. 5 shows a mixing device similar to Fig. 2, but this time the lines are not in one plane, but are spatially arranged.
  • Part a of FIG. 5 shows a top view, in which the angle ⁇ , the angle between A and C is shown, and part b shows the mixing device in a side view.
