Description

Beschreibungdescription
Vorrichtung zum Mischen zweier FluideDevice for mixing two fluids
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Mischen zweier Fluide, von denen mindestens eines eine Flüssigkeit ist, welche ein rohrförmiges, an beiden axialen Enden offenes Gefäß zur Aufnahme der Fluide, mindestens zwei räumlich voneinander getrennte Düsen zur Zuführung der Fluide und eine Leitvorrichtung aufweist, in welche die Düsen an ihrem einen Ende hineinragen und welche mit ihrem anderen Ende etwa in dessen mittlerem Bereich in das an dieser Stelle offene Gefäß einmündet und bei welcher das Gefäß in Höhe der Einmündung der Leitvorrichtung eine Prallzone umschließt, in der aus der Leitvorrichtung austretende, von den Düsen injizierte Fluidströme aufeinander prallen (DE-PS 38 18 991) .The invention relates to a device for mixing two fluids, at least one of which is a liquid which has a tubular vessel open at both axial ends for receiving the fluids, at least two spatially separate nozzles for supplying the fluids and a guide device. into which the nozzles protrude at one end and which ends at the other end approximately in its central region in the vessel open at this point and in which the vessel encloses a baffle zone at the mouth of the guide device, in which zone emerging from the guide device Fluid flows injected from the nozzles collide (DE-PS 38 18 991).
"Fluide" im Sinne der Erfindung sind Flüssigkeiten und Gase. Die Vorrichtung kann für das Mischen einer Flüssigkeit mit einem Gas oder zum Mischen zweier ineinander nicht löslicher Flüssigkeiten oder zum Mischen bzw. Homogenisieren von zwei ineinander löslichen Flüssigkeiten verwendet werden. Die folgenden Ausführungen gelten, stellvertretend auch für die beiden anderen Möglichkeiten, für das Mischen einer Flüssigkeit mit einem Gas."Fluids" in the sense of the invention are liquids and gases. The device can be used for mixing a liquid with a gas or for mixing two liquids which are not soluble in one another or for mixing or homogenizing two liquids which are soluble in one another. The following explanations apply, representative of the other two options, for mixing a liquid with a gas.
Ein solches "Mischen" wird beispielsweise bei der Abwasserreinigung durchgeführt, wenn möglichst viel Sauerstof in das Wasser eingebracht werden soll, der in Wasser schlecht löslich ist. Hierzu ist, es ebenso wie bei chemischen Reaktionen sowie bei Absorptions- und Desorptionsvorgängen zwischen einem Gas und einer Flüssigkeit erforderlich, eine große Stoffaustauschflache zwischen den beiden Fluiden bei hoher Turbulenz zu erzeugen. Der Stoffaustausch zwischen dem Gas und der Flüssigkeit wird dadurch intensiviert.Such "mixing" is carried out, for example, in wastewater treatment if as much oxygen as possible is to be introduced into the water which is poorly soluble in water. This is just as with chemical reactions and with absorption and desorption processes between a gas and a liquid is required to create a large mass transfer area between the two fluids with high turbulence. This intensifies the exchange of materials between the gas and the liquid.
In der DE-Z "Chemie-Ingenieur-Technik" 52 (1980), Nr. 12, Seiten 951 bis 965 sind zahlreiche Verfahren und Vorrichtungen beschrieben, mit denen Gase und Flüssigkeiten gemischt werden können. Seit langem bekannte, in den meisten Fällen wenig effektive Vorrichtungen sind beispielweise mechanische Rührwerke oder auch Blasensäulen. Bessere Ergebnisse werden mit Strahldüsen-Schlaufenreaktoren erzielt.In DE-Z "Chemical Engineering Technology" 52 (1980), No. 12, pages 951 to 965, numerous methods and devices are described with which gases and liquids can be mixed. Devices that have been known for a long time and in most cases are ineffective are, for example, mechanical agitators or bubble columns. Better results are achieved with jet nozzle loop reactors.
Mit der Vorrichtung nach der eingangs "erwähnten DE-PS 38 18 991 wird der Stoffaustausch beim Mischen der Fluide weiter verbessert. Durch das Scherfeld der Flüssigkeit im unmittelbaren Bereich hinter den Öffnungen der Düsen wird das Gas beim Austritt aus den Düsen in sehr kleine Blasen zerteilt. Gleichzeitig saugt jeder aus den Düsen austretende Flüssigkeitsstrahl vom Inneren des Gefäßes Flüssigkeit oder ein Gas-Flüssigkeitsgemisch an. Es bilden sich dadurch hinter den Düsen homogene Zweiphasenströmungen aus. Die beiden Zweiphasenströmungen werden so gelenkt, daß sie in der Prallzone innerhalb des Gefäßes zusammenprallen. Dort werden die Gasblasen weiter zerteilt und die kinetische Energie des strömenden Gas-Flüssigkeitsgemisches dissipiert. Dadurch werden eine hohe Turbulenz und eine große Stoffaustauschfläche in der Prallzone sowie in den übrigen Teilen des Gefäßes oberhalb und unterhalb der Prallzone erzeugt. Diese Vorrichtung hat sich in der Praxis bewährt. Über ihren genaueren Aufbau sind in der Patentschrift keine Angaben gemacht.With the device according to the above-mentioned DE-PS 38 18 991, the mass transfer during the mixing of the fluids is further improved. Due to the shear field of the liquid in the immediate area behind the openings of the nozzles, the gas is broken up into very small bubbles as it exits the nozzles At the same time, each jet of liquid emerging from the nozzles sucks liquid or a gas-liquid mixture from the inside of the vessel, thereby forming homogeneous two-phase flows behind the nozzles the gas bubbles are further broken down and the kinetic energy of the flowing gas-liquid mixture is dissipated, thus creating a high level of turbulence and a large mass transfer area in the baffle zone and in the other parts of the vessel above and below the baffle zone . No details are given in the patent specification about their more precise structure.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, für die eingangs geschilderte Vorrichtung einen konstruktiv einfachen Aufbau anzugeben. Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß die fest mit dem Gefäß verbundene Leitvorrichtung mindestens zwei einen Hohlraum zwischen sich einschließende, geschlossene Wände aufweist und im Bereich beider stirnseitiger Enden offen ist undThe invention has for its object to provide a structurally simple structure for the device described above. This object is achieved according to the invention in that the guide device, which is firmly connected to the vessel, has at least two closed walls enclosing a cavity between it and is open in the region of both front ends and
- daß eine der Wände der Leitvorrichtung die Wandung des Gefäßes ist.- That one of the walls of the guide device is the wall of the vessel.
Diese Vorrichtung ist mit Gefäß und Leitvorrichtung einteilig ausgeführt. Sie kann in kompakter Bauweise hergestellt werden und ist daher einfach zu handhaben. Dadurch kann die Vorrichtung neben ihrer direkten Verwendung als Mischvorrichtung beispielsweise auch als Tauchaggregat für großvolumige Flüssigkeitsbehälter eingesetzt werden.This device is made in one piece with the vessel and the guide device. It can be manufactured in a compact design and is therefore easy to use. As a result, in addition to its direct use as a mixing device, the device can also be used, for example, as a submersible unit for large-volume liquid containers.
Die Leitvorrichtung ist einfach gestaltet, da für ihren Aufbau die ohnehin vorhandene Wandung des Gefäßes ausgenutzt wird. Es brauchen daher nur die jeweils zweiten Wände der Leitvorrichtung außerhalb oder innerhalb des Gefäßes positioniert und fest mit dem Gefäß verbunden zu werden.The guide device is simple in design, since the existing wall of the vessel is used for its construction. It is therefore only necessary to position the respective second walls of the guide device outside or inside the vessel and to connect them firmly to the vessel.
Dabei kann für jede in der Vorrichtung eingesetzte Düse eine Art eigenes Leitrohr angebracht werden. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, eine ringförmige Leitvorrichtung mit entsprechend hoher Anzahl von Düsen vorzusehen.A type of dedicated guide tube can be attached to each nozzle used in the device. However, it is also possible to provide an annular guide device with a correspondingly high number of nozzles.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung gehen aus den Unteransprüchen hervor.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention emerge from the subclaims.

In der folgenden Beschreibung wird die Vorrichtung nach der Erfindung weiter für das Mischen einer Flüssigkeit mit einem Gas beschrieben. In gleicher Weise kann die Vorrichtung aber auch für das Mischen zweier ineinander nicht löslicher Flüssigkeiten oder für das Homogenisieren zweier ineinander löslicher Flüssigkeiten verwendet werden.In the following description, the device according to the invention is further described for mixing a liquid with a gas. In the same way, the device can also be used for mixing two liquids which are not soluble in one another or for homogenizing two liquids which are soluble in one another.
In einem Gefäß 1, das vorzugsweise als langgestreckter Zylinder ausgebildet ist, sollen ein Gas GS und eine Flüssigkeit FL miteinander gemischt werden. Dabei soll beispielweise eine möglichst große Menge von Sauerstoff in di Flüssigkeit FL eingebracht werden. Das Gefäß 1 mündet mit einem axialen Ende in einer Erweiterung 2, in der zwei Düsen 3 und 4 angeordnet sind, denen einerseits die Flüssigkeit FL un andererseits das Gas GS zugeführt werden. Die Düsen 3 und 4 sind dabei so angeordnet, daß die aus ihnen austretenden Strahlen aus Flüssigkeit und Gas in Leitrohre 5 und 6 gelangen, die ihrerseits an zwei einander diametral gegenüber liegenden Stellen in das Gefäß 1 einmünden. Das Gefäß 1 ist einschließlich der Leitrohre 5 und 6 sowie der Düsen 3 und 4 in einen großvolumigen Behälter 7 eingesetzt, in dem sich als Flüssigkeit beispielsweise Abwasser befindet.A gas GS and a liquid FL are to be mixed with one another in a vessel 1, which is preferably designed as an elongated cylinder. For example, the greatest possible amount of oxygen should be introduced into the liquid FL. The vessel 1 opens with an axial end in an extension 2 in which two nozzles 3 and 4 are arranged, to which the liquid FL and the gas GS are supplied on the one hand. The nozzles 3 and 4 are arranged so that the jets of liquid and gas emerging from them enter guide tubes 5 and 6, which in turn open into the vessel 1 at two diametrically opposite locations. The vessel 1, including the guide tubes 5 and 6 and the nozzles 3 and 4, is inserted into a large-volume container 7 in which, for example, waste water is present as a liquid.
Die Leitrohre 5 und 6 können - wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich - i wesentlichen parallel zum Gefäß 1 verlaufen und nach Durchlaufen einer Krümmung von 90° an das Gefäß 1 angeschlossen sein. Die beiden in den Leitrohren 5 und 6 getrennt geführten Strahlen aus Flüssigkeit und Gas treffen i Gefäß 1 in einer gestrichelt umrandeten Prallzone PZ aufeinander. Die Düsen 3 und 4 saugen Flüssigkeit oder ein Gas-Flüssigkeitsgemisch aus dem Bereich der Erweiterung 2 an und sorgen dadurch für einen durch die in Fig. 1 eingezeichneten Pfeile angedeuteten internen Kreislauf. Die Flüssigkeit FL wird dem Gefäß 1 von oben oder im externen Umlauf, beispielsweise mittels einer Pumpe 8 zugeführt. Nach Entmischung kann die Flüssigkeit aus einem Überlauf 9 aus dem Behälter 7 ablaufen. Das überschüssige Gas kann aus der Vorrichtung teilweise durch das Gefäß 1 und teilweise durch den Behälter 7 austreten.As can be seen from FIG. 1, the guide tubes 5 and 6 can run essentially parallel to the vessel 1 and can be connected to the vessel 1 after passing through a bend of 90 °. The two jets of liquid and gas guided separately in the guide tubes 5 and 6 meet i Vessel 1 on top of each other in a dashed-line impact zone PZ. The nozzles 3 and 4 suck in liquid or a gas-liquid mixture from the area of the extension 2 and thereby ensure an internal circuit indicated by the arrows shown in FIG. 1. The liquid FL is supplied to the vessel 1 from above or in external circulation, for example by means of a pump 8. After separation, the liquid can flow out of the container 7 from an overflow 9. The excess gas can escape from the device partly through the vessel 1 and partly through the container 7.
In Fig. 1 sind zwei Düsen 3 und 4 dargestellt. Es können aber auch mehr als zwei jeweils voneinander getrennte Düsen eingesetzt werden. Die Düsen 3 und 4 sind vorzugsweise als Zweistoffdüsen aus zwei konzentrischen Rohren ausgeführt. Sie sind bezüglich Geometrie und Abmessungen vorzugsweise identisch ausgeführt, so daß dem Gefäß 1 zwei oder mehr gleichmäßige Ströme aus Flüssigkeit und Gas zugeführt werden. Wenn mehr als zwei Düsen verwendet werden, dann werden die Einmündungssteilen der entsprechenden Leitrohre zweckmäßig gleichmäßig am Umfang des Gefäßes 1 versetzt angeordnet. Bei drei Düsen liegt zwischen den Einmündungsstellen also beispielsweise jeweils ein Winkel von 120°.In Fig. 1, two nozzles 3 and 4 are shown. However, more than two separate nozzles can also be used. The nozzles 3 and 4 are preferably designed as two-substance nozzles from two concentric tubes. They are preferably identical in terms of geometry and dimensions, so that the vessel 1 is supplied with two or more uniform streams of liquid and gas. If more than two nozzles are used, the junction parts of the corresponding guide tubes are expediently arranged offset uniformly on the circumference of the vessel 1. In the case of three nozzles, there is, for example, an angle of 120 ° between the junction points.
Die Vorrichtung nach Fig. 1 arbeitet grundsätzlich wie folgt:The device according to FIG. 1 basically works as follows:
Über die Düsen 3 und 4 werden Flüssigkeit FL und Gas GS getrennt zugeführt. Infolge des Scherfeldes der Flüssigkeit F an den Austrittsöffnungen der Düsen 3 und 4 wird das Gas GS dispergiert. Die Gasblasen werden von der Flüssigkeit mitgenommen und das so entstandene Zweistoffgemisch prallt in zwei Strömen in der Prallzone PZ aufeinander. Die Gasblasen werden dadurch weiter dispergiert, so daß ein erhöhter Stoffaustauεch stattfindet. Ein großer Teil der Gasblasen bleibt in der Prallzone PZ in der Schwebe und wird dadurch ständig weiter dispergiert. Das führt zu einer weiteren Erhöhung des Stoffaustausches. Die Prallzone PZ befindet sich aus diesem Grunde möglichst zentral im Gefäß 1, also etwa in dessen Mitte.Liquid FL and gas GS are supplied separately via nozzles 3 and 4. As a result of the shear field of the liquid F at the outlet openings of the nozzles 3 and 4, the gas GS is dispersed. The gas bubbles are carried away by the liquid and the resulting two-substance mixture collides in two streams in the impact zone PZ. The gas bubbles are thereby further dispersed, so that an increased exchange of substances takes place. A large part of the gas bubbles remain in suspension in the impact zone PZ and become constantly dispersed. This leads to a further increase in mass exchange. For this reason, the impact zone PZ is located as centrally as possible in the vessel 1, that is to say approximately in the middle thereof.
Die Vorrichtung kann beispielweise entsprechend den Fig. 2 bi 4 aufgebaut sein. Bei dieser Ausführungsform der Vorrichtung sind an dem Gefäß 1 außen zwei gebogene, geschlossene Wände 1 und 11 angebracht, die jeweils unter Bildung eines axial verlaufenden Hohlraums an beiden axialen Kanten fest mit dem Gefäß l verbunden sind. Die Wände 10 und 11 sind an den Stirnseiten ihrer Enden 12 und 13 verschlossen. An ihren anderen, offenen Enden ragen die Düsen 3 und 4 in die umschlossenen Hohlräume hinein. Die Wände 10 und 11 bilden zusammen mit der Wandung des Gefäßes 1 die anhand von Fig. 1 erläuterten Leitrohre. Im Bereich der Enden 12 und 13 der Wände 10 und 11 ist die Wandung des Gefäßes 1 jeweils durchbrochen. Gefäß 1 und Wände 10 und 11 bestehen beispielweise aus Kunststoff oder Metall.The device can be constructed, for example, in accordance with FIGS. 2 to 4. In this embodiment of the device, two curved, closed walls 1 and 11 are attached to the outside of the vessel 1, each of which is firmly connected to the vessel 1 to form an axially extending cavity on both axial edges. The walls 10 and 11 are closed at the ends of their ends 12 and 13. At their other, open ends, the nozzles 3 and 4 protrude into the enclosed cavities. The walls 10 and 11 together with the wall of the vessel 1 form the guide tubes explained with reference to FIG. 1. In the region of the ends 12 and 13 of the walls 10 and 11, the wall of the vessel 1 is broken through. Vessel 1 and walls 10 and 11 are made, for example, of plastic or metal.
Die Wände 10 und 11 können gemäß Fig. 3 halbkreisförmig gebogen sein. Sie bestehen dann zweckmäßig aus Halbrohren 14 und 15. Für die Wände 10 und 11 können gemäß Fig. 4 aber auch U-förmig gebogene Hohlprofile 16 und 17 eingesetzt werden.The walls 10 and 11 can be bent semicircularly according to FIG. 3. They then expediently consist of half-tubes 14 and 15. For the walls 10 and 11, however, hollow profiles 16 and 17 bent in a U-shape can also be used, as shown in FIG.
Eine gegenüber den Ausführungsformen nach den Fig. 2 bis 4 andere Ausführungsform der Vorrichtung ist in Fig. 5 dargestellt. Das Gefäß 1 dieser Vorrichtung ist in Höhe der Prallzone PZ umlaufend und mit rechtwinkligem Übergang erweitert. In den erweiterten Teil des Gefäßes 1 ist unter Freilassung eines ringförmigen Durchlasses ein zu demselben konzentrisches Rohrstück 18 angebracht, das beispielweise durch schematisch angedeutete Stege 19 fest mit dem Gefäß 1 verbunden ist. Die Leitvorrichtung ist in diesem Fall ringförmig ausgebildet. Sie wird durch das Gefäß 1 einerseits und das Rohrstück 18 begrenzt, welche die Wände der Leitvorrichtung darstellen. Bei dieser Ausführungsform der Vorrichtung werden zweckmäßig mehr als zwei Düsen eingesetzt. Vorzugsweise werden vier um jeweils 90° in Umfangsrichtung gegeneinander versetzte Düsen verwendet. Die Anzahl der Düsen ist aber auch hier beliebig.A different embodiment of the device compared to the embodiments according to FIGS. 2 to 4 is shown in FIG. 5. The vessel 1 of this device is circumferential at the level of the impact zone PZ and expanded with a right-angled transition. In the expanded part of the vessel 1, a tubular piece 18, which is concentric to the same and is attached to the vessel 1, for example by means of schematically indicated webs 19, with the release of an annular passage. In this case, the guiding device is ring-shaped. It is limited by the vessel 1 on the one hand and the pipe section 18, which the walls of the Represent guidance device. In this embodiment of the device, more than two nozzles are expediently used. Preferably, four nozzles offset by 90 ° in the circumferential direction are used. The number of nozzles is also arbitrary here.
In Fig. 5 sind nur zwei Düsen 3 und 4 eingezeichnet. Sie können in radialer Richtung in das Gefäß 1 eingesetzt sein. Der Aufbau einer derartigen Düse geht in vergrößerter Darstellung beispielweise aus Fig. 6 hervor. Sie besteht aus einem Rohr 20, das in seiner Umfangsflache eine Düsenöffnung 21 aufweist. Die durch das Rohr 20 zugeführte Flüssigkeit FL wird auf diese Weise um etwa 90° umgelenkt, so daß sie in die Leitvorrichtung des Gefäßes 1 eintreten kann, die durch die i Fig. 6 angedeuteten Wände 1 und 18 begrenzt wird. Für die Zuführung des Gases GS ist in dem Rohr 20 der Düse ein dünneres Rohr 22 integriert, dessen Austrittsöffnung 23 an de Düsenöffnung 21 liegt.5, only two nozzles 3 and 4 are shown. They can be inserted into the vessel 1 in the radial direction. The structure of such a nozzle is shown in an enlarged view, for example from FIG. 6. It consists of a tube 20 which has a nozzle opening 21 in its circumferential surface. The liquid FL supplied through the tube 20 is deflected in this way by approximately 90 ° so that it can enter the guide device of the vessel 1, which is delimited by the walls 1 and 18 indicated in FIG. 6. For the supply of the gas GS, a thinner tube 22 is integrated in the tube 20 of the nozzle, the outlet opening 23 of which lies at the nozzle opening 21.
Die im Vorangehenden beschriebene Vorrichtung kann als solche direkt beispielweise zur Abwasserbehandlung eingesetzt werden. Sie kann aber auch, wie schon für Fig. 1 beschrieben, in eine großvolumigen Behälter 7 als Tauchaggregat verwendet werden. Dabei bietet sich die Möglichkeit, mehrere solcher Vorrichtungen gleichzeitig einzusetzen, so wie es für drei Vorrichtungen A, B und C aus Fig. 7 hervorgeht. Das hat den Vorteil, daß die Vorrichtung mit optimalen kompakten Abmessungen hergestellt werden kann, ohne Rücksicht auf den Anwendungsfall. Es wird lediglich die jeweils benötigte Anzah von Vorrichtungen als Tauchaggregate eingesetzt. The device described in the foregoing can be used directly as such, for example, for wastewater treatment. However, as already described for FIG. 1, it can also be used in a large-volume container 7 as a diving unit. This offers the possibility of using several such devices at the same time, as can be seen for three devices A, B and C from FIG. 7. This has the advantage that the device can be manufactured with optimal compact dimensions, regardless of the application. Only the number of devices required in each case is used as the diving unit.
