Definitions

  • the invention relates to the construction of steam-heated, preferably metallic, Rolls e.g. in paper machines, film drawing machines or the like machine equipment can be used.
  • the rollers often have to do this Purpose to be heated using liquid or gaseous heat transfer media Find.
  • such rollers are with a large number of axially parallel bores close to the periphery through which the Heat transfer medium is passed.
  • the invention deals with the embodiment of which is used as a heat carrier water vapor.
  • Such a roller is described in DE-A-43 13 379 by the applicant.
  • the one there Execution of the roller provides that through the peripheral holes conducted steam condenses at least partially in this, whereupon the condensate, centrifugal assisted to the ends of the peripheral bores at the roller ends flows and from there due to the vapor pressure or one to a drain pipe applied negative pressure through tubes or holes to the roller axis is where it will be derived from the roller through the drain line can.
  • a tube or bore is located at each end of the peripheral Holes.
  • the condensate control valve With a condensate control valve, the amount of runoff can be reduced Condensate can be controlled.
  • the heating power of the Determine roller is described in DE-A-43 13 379 by the applicant.
  • the differential pressure control system has a throttle valve in the outflow line, which has a certain differential pressure between the inflow line and the Discharge line of the roller maintained. Wants more steam to flow through the roller than intended, the pressure difference of the lines increases and the valve closes, and vice versa.
  • Flow control is e.g. on a throttle by measuring the pressure drop, the amount of overflow steam in the Discharge line determined and directly via an appropriately controlled throttle valve regulated.
  • peripheral heated steam-heated rolls Holes not reliable enough. Because either the common pressure difference for all drainage pipes of a peripherally drilled roller or the sum of the blow-through steam through all drainage pipes as well measured together, it can always happen that between Adjust the flow differences in the individual drainage pipes, which increase the Steam blowing through single or a group of tubes on the one hand and on the other hand, to overflow of one or more peripheral holes to lead.
  • DE 38 01 815 A1 discloses a device for removing condensate from a steam-heated drying cylinder.
  • the direction of rotation of the incoming steam is adjusted in a hollow drying cylinder by means of a suction mouthpiece provided on the inner cylinder wall so that the condensate collecting in a condensate riser pipe can be detached from the wall and transported away by the Coriolis force.
  • suction mouthpieces which must have relatively large dimensions because of the need to provide a large angular momentum, cannot be used in the limited space in the area of the entry points of the discharge pipes or bores of peripherally heated rollers.
  • the object of the invention is a, preferably temperature-controllable, steam-heated To propose roller, in which the removal of the resulting in the holes Condensate is reliably released in any operating condition.
  • discharge pipes or bores have at least one cross-sectional constriction and are thus designed are that they are a mixture, preferably swirling, of condensate and Cause steam.
  • a very small inner diameter can be provided at their ends near the peripheral bores, which is, for example, between 2 and 4 mm. This results in a strong increase in the flow rate of the condensate and the blowing steam, so that the resulting turbulence prevents the two media from segregating.
  • the free opening preferably has a cross-sectional area of 3 to about 12 mm 2 , in particular 3 to 7 mm 2 , and particularly preferably of about 3 mm 2 .
  • Twisting is also suitable for producing the necessary mixing Tube.
  • Such a discharge pipe is preferably designed such that the flow at least is turned sharply once.
  • An installation or the like can also be used for this purpose be provided.
  • Two peripheral bores can also be drilled through 2 connecting pipes or - channels are connected to the drain pipe or the drain hole through 1 common such pipe or a common such bore drained become.
  • Each of the above configurations according to the invention enables one each Roller to find individual operating point at which that in the peripheral Drilling condensate according to the given operating speed, the predetermined heating steam pressure and the set external differential pressure for the Total roller is reliably removed from the individual holes without the different holes influence each other excessively and without the The amount of total steam blowing through becomes uneconomically large.
  • the necessary cross-sectional narrowing of the discharge pipes and bores, the valves or internals in the pipes or bores also Operational risk because it can lead to constipation.
  • Carried with the steam Foreign bodies or even corrosion particles can enter the inlet openings The easier it is to lay drainage pipes or the narrowing points, the less are the respective free diameters.
  • the openings or meshes at most the diameter of the narrowest cross-section of the discharge pipes or holes accordingly. A foreign body that would be suitable for this Clogging the narrowest cross sections is stopped on the basket.
  • hot steam flows through the feed pipe 1 in the roll neck 2 on the one hand further through the steam channels 3 into the peripheral Bores 4 in the roller body 5, on the other hand through the central bore 6 in the roller body 5 to the other end of the roller, from there also through Steam channels to be introduced into peripheral holes.
  • Condensate that is in forms the peripheral holes (black arrows) from the holes 4 by means of of the steam pressure and flows to the end of the roll, either forward, i.e. with the steam flow direction, or backwards, against it, as in the Drawing shown.
  • the condensate collects in the collecting rooms 10 and passes from there, further under steam pressure, through the discharge pipes 7 into the Return pipe 8 through which it can leave the roller.
  • the drain pipes are provided at its outer end with a plug 9.
  • FIG. 2 shows, as a detail from FIG. 1, a discharge pipe 7 according to the prior art Technology.
  • FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of a discharge pipe 7 according to the invention, wherein the cross section of the tube 7 is narrowed.
  • FIG 4 a tube is shown with an inserted nozzle 12 instead of Pipe constriction.
  • Figure 5 shows a discharge pipe 7, which is twisted. Thereby a swirl of condensate and blow-by steam is achieved, so that a uniform drainage can take place.
  • FIG. 6 shows the arrangement of a sieve 11 in front of the discharge pipe 7.
  • the opening is to enable cleaning for the plug 9 so large that the screen 11 in and out can be.
  • Figure 7 shows an example of the dependencies between There is steam demand from the roller and blow-by steam.
  • the four re-enact it on the right, sloping curves show the drainage performance of the roller at various Differential vapor pressures (from above: 0.8 / 0.7 / 0.6 / 0.5 bar); the right slightly increasing lower curve corresponds to the steam throughput, each with increasing Blow-through steam as a percentage by weight.
  • the intersections of the curves are the stable operating points with a set differential pressure and given heating output. As can be seen, these are in the range between 5 and 20% blow-by steam.
