  • the medium to be dosed is difficult to handle because e.g. the flowable medium of one or more abrasive solids, e.g. Pigments, composed is, the medium also to crystallize or sticking, so that the used Dosing pumps due to wear or leaks already after a short time have undefined dosing errors.
  • a method of controlled dosing indicate at least one flowable component and one for carrying out this method especially to provide a suitable device with or it is possible even difficult to promote media controlled to dose. It should process and device self-monitoring trouble-free and maintenance-free work over a long time with high precision and reproducibility and creeping occurring leaks and thus Quantitatively record and document dosing errors.
  • a reproducible high-precision dosage sets a pulsation and leakage-free conveying advance. Therefore So first, an unproblematic hydraulic flow generated pulsation-free, which without difficulty in the known oil-hydraulic metering devices can be done.
  • the dosage of the problematic Liquid takes place in a second cycle, the oscillating displacer from the oil circuit is disconnected.
  • a volume flow supplied on the hydraulic side displaces thus on the medium side equal volume.
  • Another advantage of this method is that the Filling stroke of the pumps basically in a shorter Time interval can be done as the Dosierhub. Thereby The necessary time is gained to wear all of them thus leaking components of the positive displacement pumps, such as. Inlet and outlet valves on the dosing and hydraulic side, at regular intervals, e.g. after each pump cycle, a leak test to undergo.

  • the displacement elements are included hydraulically clamped between hydraulic and conveying medium, so that on both sides at frictionless Guide the displacement a nearly the same Setting pressure level. Freedom of friction is necessary in the switching points of the displacement no pressure build-up due to starting torques.
  • the pressurization of the displacement elements is done by a hydraulic dosing unit, the either from a hydraulic motor with mechanically coupled Servo- or stepper motor or a flowmeter with electrically coupled servo or Proportional valve exists. In each of these cases is one low-wear, high-precision dosage possible, where the necessary form from a hydraulic pressure source comes.
  • Be two or more devices used according to the invention is by an electric Coupling of the respective electrical setpoint generator (Servo or stepper motor and servo or proportional valve) a time-synchronous two- or multi-component dosing possible, both the dosing ratio as well as size and duration of the discharged Volumetric flow are arbitrary.
  • the valves of Positive displacement pumps in the inlet and outlet of the respective Dosing and hydraulic chamber are low-wear poppet valves, in the rest periods of the positive displacement pumps subjected to the leak test described in the process What is connected to each hydraulic chamber Pressure measuring device is used.

  • the device can be designed so that the displacement elements Membranes are.
  • the use of a Diaphragm as displacer for a pump for dosing of problematic media offers itself because of their constructional simplicity (low cost) as well as technical Advantages.
  • membranes With the help of membranes can be the Demand for leak-free and friction-free sealing the displacer meet the easiest.
  • membranes are compared to correspondingly leak-free sealed piston significantly cheaper and own.
  • the diaphragm without differential pressure is clamped between two liquids is It is possible to apply an almost arbitrary amount of pressure to it to transfer dosing medium.
  • the self-priming Execution must all with hydraulic fluid filled spaces each one pump during the metering stroke be shorted to a possible To avoid differential pressure on the membrane.
  • the device may be designed so that the membranes from at least two superimposed, a circumferential clamping single forming membranes exist, between each of which there is a gap located and that every space above a clamping point, each with a leakage derivation is provided.

  • the device can be designed so that the displacement elements Bellows are.
  • Bellows made of austenitic Stainless steel is especially abrasive and / or corrosive media superior to other materials.
  • Another advantage of steel bellows is in that they are both on the flange and on the ground can be welded, resulting in optimal sealing ensured between hydraulic and dosing.
  • the device may be designed so that the bellows from at least two superimposed ones Partitions exist between each one there is a gap, and that every gap via a clamping point, each with a leakage discharge is provided.
  • a double or multi-walled Execution of the bellows allows a large Elasticity combined with high flexural rigidity (principle Leaf spring), which is a larger usable displacement volume of the bellows.
  • Another The advantage of a multi-layer steel bellows is greater safety to leak. In the case of a bellows break occurs either the hydraulic or the metering medium in the space between the partitions one and gets out there to either to trigger an alarm or shut down the device. In any case, leakage avoidance becomes active. before it is a mixture of dosing and hydraulic medium comes.
  • the device may be designed in such a way that the and outlet of the metering space located shut-off devices automatic check valves are.
  • These Execution represents a particularly simple constructive Solution of the inlet and outlet valves on the dosing medium side dar.
  • For small diameters and for a relative low stroke frequency are self-acting ball check valves which is also suitable for abrasive fluids suitable. As the ball in the liquid flow rotates, the occurring wear spreads to the entire Spherical surface.

S As a consequence, which necessarily for the reversal of Displacer is needed. If this signal is missing, it would come to the failure of the entire device. remedy can through the use of an inductive proximity be created, which constantly outputs a signal.
