Abstract

The wet jet plant has a controllable part for preparing dry granulate suspended in a driving gas. It has another controllable part to produce a mixture of the gas with suspended granulate and a liquid for mixing it with. The mixing process takes place in the spray tool. Both parts (16,20) of the plant are controlled centrally by the tool (17). This control is carried out by the operator using individual signal producers for control systems in each part of the plant. The plant may also include a compressor (1) and a granulate heater (4).

Description

Bei der Reinigung von gegliederten Gebäudefassaden, von Steinskulpturen und ähnlichen Gegenständen sind eine ganze Reihe von Bedingungen zu beachten, die sich teilweise aus der Sachanforderung ergeben, den zu behandelnden Gegenstand von nicht wünschenswerten, teilweise hartnäckigen Ablagerungen zu befreien, ohne ihn zu zerstören, die sich aber auch teilweise aus Vorschriften ergeben, die mit dem Umweltschutz und dergleichen begründet werden. So wäre es beispielsweise möglich, einen Gegenstand im Sinn der Ausgangssituation der vorliegenden Erfindung schonend, effizient und wirtschaftlich von insbesondere aus der Umweltbelastung resultierenden Ablagerungen durch ein Granulat zu befreien, das in einem energiereichen Druckluftstrom suspendiert ist. Es müßten lediglich Druck und Mischungsverhältnis zwischen Druckluft und Granulat "richtig" eingestellt werden. Dabei fällt selbstverständlich in erheblichem Maße Staub an, der als Umweltbelastung, zumindest aber als Umweltbelästigung empfunden wird, weshalb trotz durchaus möglicher Schutzmaßnahmen diese "Trockensandstrahlung" vielfach nicht zugelassen ist und das "Naßsandstrahlen" eingesetzt werden muß. Der Suspension aus Treibgas und Granulat muß dabei eine Flüssigkeit zugemischt werden, um den beim "Sandstrahlen" anfallenden Staub zu binden. When cleaning structured building facades, from Stone sculptures and similar objects are a whole Note a number of conditions, some of which arise from result from the factual request, the object to be treated of undesirable, sometimes stubborn deposits to free it without destroying it, but the also partially resulting from regulations related to environmental protection and the like are justified. For example, it would be possible an object in the sense of the initial situation the present invention gentle, efficient and economical of those resulting in particular from environmental pollution To remove deposits by a granulate, which in one high-energy compressed air flow is suspended. It should be only pressure and mixing ratio between compressed air and granules are set "correctly". It goes without saying to a significant extent dust that is considered an environmental pollution, at least perceived as an environmental nuisance why, despite possible protective measures "Dry sandblasting" is often not permitted and the "wet sandblasting" must be used. The suspension A liquid must be added from the propellant and granules in order to avoid the dust generated by "sandblasting" to tie.

In diesem Zusammenhang bezieht sich die vorliegende Erfindung auf eine Naßstrahlanlage mit zwei steuerbaren Anlagenteilen, von denen der eine steuerbare Anlagenteil der Bereitstellung von trockenem Granulat, das in einem gasförmigen Treibmittel suspendiert ist, dient und der andere steuerbare Anlagenteil der Bereitstellung einer dem Gemisch aus gasförmigem Treibmittel und Granulat zuzumischenden Flüssigkeit dient, wobei die Mischung von Granulat und Treibmittel einerseits und Flüssigkeit andererseits in einem einer Bedienungsperson zuzuordnenden Sprühwerkzeug erfolgt.In this context, the present invention relates on a wet blasting system with two controllable system parts, one of which is a controllable facility part of the deployment of dry granules in a gaseous blowing agent is suspended, serves and the other controllable part of the system the provision of a mixture of gaseous propellants and granules to be mixed liquid, the Mixture of granulate and blowing agent on the one hand and liquid on the other hand, to be assigned to an operator Spray tool is done.

W0 94/21426 beschreibt bereits eine Naßstrahlanlage mit zwei Anlagenteilen, von denen der eine Anlagenteil eine Druckluftzuführung aufweist, die mittels einer Förderleitung mit einer Strahldüse verbunden ist, wobei in diese Förderleitung zwischen Druckluftzuführung und Strahldüse eine Trocknung der Luft und eine Druckregelung erfolgt und vor der Strahldüse der geförderten Druckluft ein Granulat aus einem Granulatspeicher zugemischt wird, während der andere Anlagenteil eine Pumpe zum Fördern von Wasser aus einem Wasservorratsbehälter zur Strahldüse und zum Zumischen von Wasser zu dem Druckluft-Granulat-Gemisch in der Strahldüse einschließt, wobei der Wasservorratsbehälter als Wärmetauscher ausgebildet ist, in dem das zur Pumpe gelangende Wasser gewärmt und ein von der Druckluftzuführung kommender Druckluftanteil entsprechend gekühlt wird, ehe dieser zur Erhöhung des Luftdruckes in dem Granulatspeicher in diesen Granulatspeicher eingespeist wird.W0 94/21426 already describes a wet blasting system two parts of the system, one part of the system one Compressed air supply, which by means of a delivery line is connected to a jet nozzle, in which Delivery line between compressed air supply and jet nozzle the air is dried and the pressure is regulated and granules in front of the jet nozzle of the conveyed compressed air is mixed from one granulate store while the other Plant part a pump for pumping water from a Water reservoir for the jet nozzle and for mixing from water to the compressed air granulate mixture in the jet nozzle includes, with the water reservoir as a heat exchanger is formed in which the pump Warm water and one coming from the compressed air supply Compressed air portion is cooled accordingly before this Increasing the air pressure in the granulate storage in this Granulate storage is fed.

Bei einer erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Naßstrahlanlage wird in höchstem Maße die Gefahr der Brückenbildung im Granulatkessel ausgeschaltet .In a wet blasting system designed according to the invention to the greatest extent the danger of Bridge formation in the granulate boiler switched off.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist es ihr Ziel, das durch den einen Anlageteil bereitgestellte trockene Granulat, das erfindungsgemäß in einem gasförmigen Treibmittel suspendiert ist, und die durch den anderen Anlageteil bereitgestellte Flüssigkeit so zusammenzubringen, dass die notwendigen Steuervorgänge von einer einzigen Bedienungsperson durchgeführt werden können. Der Erreichung dieses Zieles dient eine weitere Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Naßstrahlanlage derart, dass die Steuerung beider Anlageteile zentral vom Sprühwerkzeug aus erfolgt, dem hierzu von der Bedienungsperson zu betätigende Signalgeber für Steuermittel im jeweiligen der beiden Anlageteile zugeordnet sind.In a further embodiment of the invention, its aim is that dry granulate provided by one part of the plant, suspended according to the invention in a gaseous blowing agent and that provided by the other part of the system Bring liquid together so that the necessary Control operations performed by a single operator can be. One is used to achieve this goal further embodiment of the wet blasting system according to the invention such that the control of both parts of the system centrally from Spray tool is carried out by the operator to be actuated signal transmitter for control means in the respective are assigned to both parts of the system.

Während für die Bedienung bisher im Einsatz befindlicher Naßstrahlanlagen mindestens zwei Bedienungsperonen notwendig waren, reicht für die Bedienung einer erfindungsgemäßen Naßstrahlanlage eine Bedienungsperson aus.While for the operation of previously used wet blasting systems at least two operators were necessary, is sufficient for the operation of a wet blasting system according to the invention an operator.

Gemäß Fig. 1 fördert eine Druckquelle in der Form eines Kompressors 1 feuchtwarme Druckluft als Förderfluid in eine mit dieser Druckluft als Preßluft betriebene Granulatheizung 2 im Dosierbereich, die einen Druckkessel 3 und eine 4 einschließt. Nach Verlassen der granulat-Heizung 4 wird die feuchtwarme Druckluft einem Wärmetauscher 5 zugeführt, dem als Kühlmittel über eine Leitung 6 Kaltwasser zugeleitet wird, das den Wärmetauscher 5 als Warmwasser über eine Leitung 7 verläßt. Der Wärmetauscher 5 ist ein im Gegenstromprinzip arbeitender wasserbetriebener Luftkühler. Druckluft und daraus im Wärmetauscher bzw. Luftkühler 5 niedergeschlagenes Kondensat gelangen in einen Wasserabscheider 8 aus dem das Kondensat abgeleitet wird, sodaß die verbliebene Luft als trockene Druckluft über die Leitung 9 in den Druckkessel 3 gelangt. 1 promotes a pressure source in the form of a Compressor 1 moist warm compressed air as a conveying fluid in a pellet heating operated with this compressed air as compressed air 2 in the dosing area, the one pressure vessel 3 and one 4 includes. After leaving the granulate heater 4, the moist warm compressed air supplied to a heat exchanger 5, the Cold water supplied as coolant via a line 6 is, the heat exchanger 5 as hot water via a line 7 leaves. The heat exchanger 5 is a countercurrent principle working water powered air cooler. compressed air and from it precipitated in the heat exchanger or air cooler 5 Condensate enters a water separator 8 which the condensate is drained off, so that the remaining Air as dry compressed air via line 9 into the pressure vessel 3 arrives.

In Fig. 2 ist mit dem Pfeil 10 die Eingabe des Granulats in den Druckkessel 3 dargestellt. Aus dem im Druckkessel 3 befindlichen Granulat wird eine Teilmenge dem Druckkessel entnommen, wobei die Entnahmemenge mittels eines Granulatdosierventils 11 bestimmbar ist. Granulatteilmengen gelangen in stetiger Folge in die Granulatheizung 4, in die ein Teil der gemäß Fig.l bereitgestellten trockenen Druckluft gelangt. Die Gesamtmenge der trockenen Druckluft kommt über die bereits im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 1 genannte Leitung 9 über ein Druckluftsteuerventil 12 an einen Verzweigungspunkt 13, von dem aus eine erste Teilmenge über die Leitung 14 in die Granulatheizung 4 und eine zweite Teilmenge, die trockene Druckluft ist, die gemäß Fig. 1 in den Druckkessel 3 gelangt. Das Verhältnis zwischen erster und zweiter Teilmenge wird mittels eines Förderluftstellventiles 14 im Leitungszweig 15 vom Verzweigungspunkt 13 zur Granulatheizung 4 bestimmt. Das Gemisch aus Granulat und trockener Druckluft in angemessener Menge und angemessenem Verhältnis zwischen den Gemischkomponenten wird als Druckluft-Strahlmittelgemisch (Pfeil 16) der Strahlpistole 17 zugeführt.In Fig. 2, the arrow 10 is the input of the granules shown in the pressure vessel 3. From the pressure vessel 3 Granulate is a subset of the pressure vessel taken, the amount withdrawn by means of a granulate metering valve 11 can be determined. Granulate subsets arrive in steady succession in the pellet heating 4, in the one Part of the dry compressed air provided according to Fig.l. arrives. The total amount of dry compressed air comes over the line 9 already mentioned in connection with FIG. 1 via a compressed air control valve 12 to a branch point 13, from which a first subset via the line 14 into the granulate heater 4 and a second subset, is the dry compressed air, which is shown in FIG. 1 in the pressure vessel 3 arrives. The relationship between the first and second Partial quantity is by means of a conveying air control valve 14 in line branch 15 from branching point 13 to granule heating 4 determined. The mixture of granules and drier Compressed air in an appropriate amount and in an appropriate ratio between the mixture components is called compressed air blasting media mixture (Arrow 16) of the blasting gun 17.

Der Weg des Brauchwassers als bevorzugter staubbindender Flüssigkeit ist in Fig. 3 dargestellt. Einer Wasservorratsquelle 18, die in Wassertank oder der Anschluß einer Wasserleitung sein kann, wird Kaltwasser (Pfeil 19) entnommen und dem Wärmetauscher bzw. wasserbetriebenen Luftkühler 5 zugeführt, um darin so eingesetzt zu werden, wie es oben im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 1 beschrieben wurde. Das über die Leitung 7 den Wärmetauscher bzw. Luftkühler 5 verlassende Warmwasser (dargestellt durch den Pfeil 20) wird mittels einer pneumatischen Hochdruckpumpe 21 der Strahlpistole 17 zugeführt.The way of process water as the preferred dust-binding Liquid is shown in Fig. 3. A source of water 18 in water tank or connecting a water pipe cold water (arrow 19) is removed and the heat exchanger or water-operated air cooler 5 fed to be used in it as above has been described in connection with FIG. 1. That about the Line 7 leaving the heat exchanger or air cooler 5 Hot water (represented by arrow 20) is by means of a pneumatic high pressure pump 21 of the blasting gun 17 fed.

Der Kompressorbatterie 22 wird ein 12-Volt-Strom entnommen, um einem Schalt- und Steuerpult 23 zugeleitet zu werden, von dem aus die Stromversorgung des Förderluftstellventiles 14 (elektrische Leitung 24), der pneumatischen Hochdruckpumpe 21 (elektrische Leitung 25) und des Granulatdosierventils 11 (elektrische Leitung 26) bewirkt wird. Des weiteren wird vom Schalt- und Steuerpult 23 aus die Versorgung einer Totmannschaltung 27 (elektrische Leitung 28) und eines Kesselrüttlers 29 (elektrische Leitung 30) bewirkt.A 12 volt current is drawn from the compressor battery 22, to be fed to a switch and control panel 23, from which the power supply of the conveying air control valve 14 (electrical line 24), the pneumatic high-pressure pump 21 (electrical line 25) and the granulate metering valve 11 (electrical line 26) is effected. Furthermore, the switch and control panel 23 Supply of a dead man circuit 27 (electrical line 28) and a boiler vibrator 29 (electrical line 30) causes.

Die Totmannschaltung 27 ist dem Verzweigungspunkt 13 vorund dem Druckluftstellventil 12 nachgeschaltet. Sobald die Einwirkung der Bedienungsperson der Anlage auf die Strahlpistole 17 aufhört, wird die Funktion der gesamten Anlage durch Beendigung der Zuführung der trockenen Druckluft beendet,The dead man circuit 27 is before the branch point 13 downstream of the compressed air control valve 12. As soon as the Influence of the operator of the system on the blasting gun 17 ceases, the function of the entire system terminated by stopping the supply of dry compressed air,

Der Kesselrüttler ist eine außen um den Auslaß 31 des Druck-kessels gelegte Rütteleinrichtung 32 geeigneter Ausgestaltung. Dadurch, daß der Druckkessel 3 mit trockener Druckluft beschickt wird, ist die Gefahr von Brückenbildung vor dem Auslaß 31 des Druckkessels 3 zwar minimiert, aber die Rütteleinrichtung 32 sollte vorsorglich als zusätzliche Sicherung gegen Brückenbildung vorgesehen sein, zumal sie, weil sie nur als zusätzliche Sicherung gegen Brückenbildung gedacht ist, entsprechend einfach ausgebildet werden kann und ihre äußere Zuordnung zum Kesselauslaß 31 eine einfache Überwachung und gegebenenfalls notwendige Reparatur bei geringstmöglicher Störung des Betriebsablaufs möglich macht. The boiler vibrator is one around the outlet 31 of the pressure boiler placed vibrator 32 of suitable design. The fact that the pressure vessel 3 with dry compressed air is loaded, there is a risk of bridging before Outlet 31 of the pressure vessel 3 is minimized, but the vibrating device As a precaution, 32 should be used as an additional safeguard against bridging, especially since they only intended as an additional safeguard against bridging is correspondingly simple and can be trained external assignment to the boiler outlet 31 a simple monitoring and any necessary repairs with the least possible Disruption of the operational sequence makes possible.

In Fig. 5 ist die Gesamtanlage mit dem Weg des Brauchwassers gemäß Fig. 3, dem Weg der Preßluft gemäß Fig. 1 sowie dem Weg von Förderluft und Strahlmittel gemäß Fig. 2 als Blockschaltbild dargestellt. Für gleiche Komponenten der Anlage sind die Bezugszeichen verwendet, die auch in Fig. 1 bis 3 verwendet worden sind, sodaß die Wege von Wasser (Pfeil 20) und in Druckluft fluidisiertem Granulat (Pfeil 16) zur Sprühpistole 17 nachvollzogen werden können, ohne daß dies im einzelnen nochmals beschrieben werden müßte.
