Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device according to the Preamble of claim 1.
  • Fluids in the sense of the invention are liquids and gases.
  • the device can be used for mixing a liquid with a gas or to mix two insoluble in each other Liquids or for mixing or homogenizing two mutually soluble liquids can be used.
  • the following explanations apply, representative of the other two ways of mixing one Liquid with a gas.
  • Such “mixing” is used, for example, at Wastewater treatment carried out when as much oxygen as possible to be introduced into the water, which is bad in water is soluble. It is the same for chemical purposes Reactions as well as absorption and desorption processes between a gas and a liquid required one large mass transfer area between the two fluids to generate high turbulence. The exchange of materials between the This intensifies gas and the liquid.
  • the invention is based, for the beginning described device a structurally simple structure specify.
  • This device is in one piece with tube and guide channel executed. It can be manufactured in a compact design and is therefore easy to use. This allows the Device in addition to its direct use as Mixing device, for example, as a diving unit for large-volume liquid containers are used.
  • the guide channel is simply designed because of its structure the existing wall of the pipe is used. It therefore only need the second walls of the Guide channel outside or inside the pipe positioned and firmly connected to the pipe.
  • the device according to the Invention further for mixing a liquid with a Gas described.
  • the device can also not soluble for mixing two into each other Liquids or for homogenizing two into each other soluble liquids can be used.
  • a gas GS and a liquid FL together be mixed.
  • the largest possible Amount of oxygen is introduced into the FL.
  • the bottom - two nozzles 2 and 3 are arranged, which on the one hand the FL and on the other hand the GS.
  • the nozzles 2 and 3 are arranged so that the out of them escaping jets of liquid and gas in guide channels 4 and 5 a guiding device, which in turn has two diametrically opposite points in the tube 1 flow into.
  • the tube 1 is including the guide channels 4 and 5 and the nozzles 2 and 3 in a large-volume container 6 used in the liquid, for example Sewage is located.
  • the device can, for example, according to FIGS. 2 and 3 be built.
  • this embodiment of the device are two curved, closed walls 7 on the outside of the tube 1 and 8 attached, each forming an axial running cavity on both axial edges firmly with the Wall of the tube 1 are connected.
  • the walls 7 and 8 are 3 on the end faces of their ends 9 and 10 locked.
  • the nozzles 2 protrude at the other, open ends and 3 in from the walls 7 and 8 and the wall of the tube 1 enclosed cavities.
  • Walls 7 and 8 form together with the wall of the tube 1 Guide device, which are explained here from those in FIG. 1 Guide channels 4 and 5 exist.
  • In the area of the ends 9 and 10 of the Walls 7 and 8 is the wall of tube 1, respectively breached.
  • the corresponding holes 11 and 12 in the Wall of the tube 1 are each in Fig. 3 by two Dashes indicated.
  • Pipe 1 and walls 7 and 8 exist for example made of plastic or metal.
  • the walls 7 and 8 can be bent semicircularly according to FIG. 2 be. They then suitably consist of half tubes.
  • walls 7 and 8 can also be bent in a U-shape Hollow profiles are used.
  • the guide channels 4 and 5 run essentially parallel to Vessel 1.
  • the two in the guide channels 4 and 5 separated guided jets of liquid and gas meet in tube 1 in a impact zone PZ with a dashed border.
  • the Nozzles 2 and 3 suck liquid or a gas-liquid mixture from the area of the lower end of the pipe 1 and thereby ensure a through the in Fig. 1st drawn arrows indicated internal circuit.
  • the FL is the tube 1 from above or in external circulation, for example by means of a pump 13. After The liquid can be separated from an overflow 14 from the Drain container 6. The excess gas can come from the Device partly through the pipe 1 and partly through the container 6 emerge.
  • nozzles 2 and 3 are shown. But it can also more than two separate nozzles be used.
  • the nozzles 2 and 3 are preferably as Two-substance nozzles made from two concentric tubes. she are preferred in terms of geometry and dimensions identically constructed, so that the tube 1 two or more uniform flows of liquid and gas are supplied. If more than two nozzles are used, then the Junction points of the corresponding guide channels are useful evenly offset on the circumference of the tube 1. At there are three nozzles between the confluence points for example, an angle of 120 °.
  • the device according to FIGS. 1 to 4 basically works as follows:
  • An FL and a GS are separated by means of nozzles 2 and 3 fed. Due to the shear field of the FL to the The gas GS becomes outlet openings of the nozzles 2 and 3 dispersed. The gas bubbles are taken away by the FL and the resulting two-substance mixture bounces in two flows the impact zone PZ on each other. The gas bubbles are thereby further dispersed so that an increased mass transfer takes place. A large part of the gas bubbles remains in the Impact zone PZ in limbo and is constantly widening dispersed. This leads to a further increase in Mass exchange.
  • the impact zone PZ is from this Basically as centrally as possible in the vessel 1, that is to say approximately in it Center.
  • the lower part of the tube 1 also concentrically from a distance be surrounded by the same pipe section.
  • the nozzles 2 and 3 then open into an annulus.
  • the corresponding Guide device is from the outside through the pipe section and inside again limited by the wall of the tube 1. Since the Breakthrough of the tube 1 at the level of the impact zone PZ is circumferential, the lower part of the tube 1 is appropriate connected to the concentric pipe section. You can do this for example, schematically indicated webs 15 are used be fixed to the lower part of the tube 1 and the Pipe piece are connected. The pipe section is in turn fixed and all around tight with the upper part of the tube 1 connected. In this case, the guiding device is ring-shaped.
  • the tube 1 On the one hand and the pipe section, on the other hand, delimits the walls of the Represent guidance device.
  • the Device more than two nozzles are expediently used. Four are preferably circumferential by 90 ° each offset nozzles used. The number of nozzles is also arbitrary here.
  • the nozzles can be arranged so that their Radial body in the guide device protrude into it.
  • the structure of such a nozzle is shown in 5 shows an enlarged illustration, for example.
  • she consists of a tube 16, the one in its peripheral surface Has nozzle opening 17.
  • the FL fed through the pipe 16 is deflected in this way by about 90 °, so that it is in the Guide device of the tube 1 can occur, which by the 5 indicated walls 1 and 7 is limited.
  • the GS is a thinner tube in the tube 16 of the nozzle 18 integrated, the outlet opening 19 at the nozzle opening 17 lies.
  • the nozzle body of the nozzles can also in protrude axially into the guide device.
  • the device described in the foregoing can be used as such can be used directly, for example, for wastewater treatment. But it can also, as already described for Fig. 1, in one large-volume container 6 can be used as a diving unit. There is the possibility of several such Use devices at the same time, as for three Devices A, B and C emerge from Fig. 6. That has the Advantage that the device with optimal compact Dimensions can be made regardless of the Use case. It will only be the number required used by devices as diving units.
