Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un séchoir pour peaux tannées selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to a dryer for skins tanned according to the preamble of claim 1.
Il est connu que les peaux séchées dans des séchoirs sous vide présentent des défauts de qualité d'autant plus évidents que la température régnant sur les plans de travail est plus élevée.It is known that skins dried in vacuum dryers exhibit quality defects which are all the more evident as the temperature prevailing on the work is higher.
Il en résulte que la recherche d'installations qui permettent de sécher les peaux sous vide à une température aussi basse que possible est toujours d'actualité.As a result, the search for facilities to dry the skins vacuum as low as possible is still relevant.
Actuellement, tous les séchoirs sous vide pour peaux présentent une pompe à vide à anneau liquide (eau ou huile) qui crée un certain vide sur les tablettes où sont étendues les peaux, tablettes qui, naturellement, sont enfermées hermétiquement à l'aide de couvercles étanches.Currently, all vacuum dryers for skins have a vacuum with liquid ring (water or oil) which creates a certain vacuum on the shelves where extended skins, tablets which, naturally, are hermetically sealed using watertight covers.
Avec ces installations, on réussit à sécher les peaux d'une façon assez acceptable, mais certainement pas d'une façon idéale pour les peaux, en raison des températures très élevées (70°-80°) qu'on est contraint d'entretenir.With these facilities, we manage to dry the skins in a fairly acceptable, but certainly not ideal for skins, due to very high temperatures (70 ° -80 °) that we are forced to maintain.
On a obtenu une amélioration en ajoutant à cette pompe à anneau liquide un autre dispositif secondaire qui, en travaillant en série avec un compresseur volumétrique, réduit la pression absolue produite par la pompe principale à anneau liquide (100-40 mbar) jusqu'à une valeur d'environ 15-1 mbar.An improvement has been obtained by adding to this liquid ring pump a other secondary device which, working in series with a compressor volumetric, reduces the absolute pressure produced by the main ring pump liquid (100-40 mbar) up to a value of around 15-1 mbar.
Toutefois, pour pouvoir faire fonctionner ce dispositif secondaire, il est nécessaire d'ajouter aussi un groupe réfrigérant, appelé normalement 〈〈chiller〉〉, qui abaisse considérablement la température de l'eau dans les différents condenseurs prévus sur le séchoir à tablettes multiples, en maintenant la température de l'eau aux environ de 0°C. However, to be able to operate this secondary device, it is necessary to also add a cooling unit, normally called 〈〈chiller〉〉, which considerably lowers the water temperature in the various condensers provided on the multi-shelf dryer, keeping the water temperature around 0 ° C.
Comme on peut le comprendre, cette installation secondaire à compresseur volumétrique et groupe réfrigérant présente des coûts importants et, en outre, ce qui encore plus important, exige une consommation d'énergie électrique très élevée, de nature à décourager de nombreux acquéreurs potentiels pour des motifs de coûts de production.As can be understood, this secondary compressor installation volumetric and cooling unit presents significant costs and, moreover, which even more important, requires very high electrical energy consumption, likely to discourage many potential buyers for cost reasons production.
Une installation normale comportant une pompe à vide à anneau liquide peut en effet consommer plus de 20 kW/h, tandis qu'avec l'addition du dispositif secondaire, l'installation de réfrigération consomme plus de 100 kW/h.A normal installation with a liquid ring vacuum pump can effect consuming more than 20 kW / h, while with the addition of the secondary device, the refrigeration system consumes more than 100 kW / h.
Le but de la présente invention est de remédier aux inconvénients précités. Ceci est réalisé conformément aux caractéristiques de la partie caractérisante de la revendication 1. D'autres modes de réalisation avantageux font l'objet des sous-revendications.The object of the present invention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks. This is carried out in accordance with the characteristics of the characterizing part of the Claim 1. Other advantageous embodiments are the subject of the subclaims.
Grâce à l'invention, on réalise un séchoir qui crée le vide au moyen d'une ou de plusieurs pompes à palettes à couche d'huile, à monter sur les séchoirs de peaux à tablettes multiples, ce qui n'avait jamais été réalisé jusqu'à présent, lorsqu'il existe la possibilité, grâce à la présence d'un ou plusieurs rabatteurs de vapeurs extérieurs d'obtenir un appareillage nettement plus avantageux, aussi bien sous le rapport du rendement sur les peaux tannées que sous celui des coûts de réalisation des appareillages eux-mêmes.Thanks to the invention, a dryer is produced which creates the vacuum by means of one or more several oil-layer vane pumps, to be mounted on skin dryers multiple shelves, which had never been achieved until now, when the possibility, thanks to the presence of one or more external vapor touts to obtain a much more advantageous apparatus, both in terms of the yield on tanned hides only below that of production costs devices themselves.
En effet, avec l'addition des pompes des palettes à couche d'huile, on réussit à obtenir un degré de vide extrêmement élevé, ce qui n'avait jamais été obtenu jusqu'à présent dans le domaine du séchage des peaux.In fact, with the addition of the oil layer paddle pumps, we succeed in achieve an extremely high degree of vacuum, which had never been achieved until present in the field of drying skins.
En pratique, un groupe de pompes à palettes effectue l'aspiration de vapeurs et d'eau des chambres des condenseurs sur les plans de travail, du fait qu'il est prévu des vannes à vide par l'intermédiaire desquelles les vapeurs et l'eau sont introduites dans le rabatteur de vapeurs extérieur, lequel, au moyen d'un système de condensation particulier, a pour effet de rabattre toutes les vapeurs résiduelles et de les transformer en eau, qui est automatiquement expulsée au moyen d'une ou de plusieurs décharges de condensat.In practice, a group of rotary vane pumps extracts vapors and of water from the condenser chambers on the worktops, due to the fact that vacuum valves through which vapors and water are introduced into the external vapor reel which, by means of a condensation system particular, has the effect of reducing all the residual vapors and transforming them into water, which is automatically expelled by means of one or more discharges of condensate.
D'autres particules solides ou fumées résiduelles sont rabattues par un cyclone, placé à la suite du rabatteur de vapeurs extérieur.Other solid particles or residual smoke are knocked down by a cyclone, placed after the exterior vapor reel.
L'air d'aspiration, qui est désormais exempt de vapeurs ou de particules solides, est envoyé à travers un groupe filtrant qui permet ainsi aux pompes à vide du type à palettes à bain d'huile de travailler dans des conditions optimales, sans l'introduction de corps étrangers.The suction air, which is now free of vapors or solid particles, is sent through a filter group which allows vacuum pumps of the type to oil bath paddles to work in optimal conditions without the introduction of foreign bodies.
Le contrôle du fonctionnement électrique de l'installation peut s'effectuer au moyen d'un panneau spécialement prévu, ou connecté et commandé directement par le panneau de commande centrale du séchoir à tablettes multiples, lequel contrôlera, avec un ordinateur central, toutes les fonctions qui sont réalisées dans le séchoir à plans multiples et dans ses dispositifs de commande.The electrical operation of the installation can be checked at by means of a specially provided panel, or connected and controlled directly by the central control panel of the multi-shelf dryer, which will control, with a central computer, all the functions that are performed in the plan dryer multiple and in its control devices.
L'invention sera maintenant décrite ci-après de façon plus détaillée à l'aide des
planches de dessins annexées, sur lesquelles :
Comme on peut le remarquer sur la Fig. 1, les condenseurs 1 disposés sur les
plans de travail sont reliés, par l'intermédiaire de vannes à vide 2, au rabatteur de
vapeurs extérieur 3, muni des décharges des condensats 4, tandis que les vapeurs sont
envoyées à travers un cyclone 5 au groupe filtrant 6, qui est relié, au moyen de tubes, au
groupe des pompes à vide 7, de préférence du type à palettes.As can be seen in FIG. 1, the condensers 1 arranged on the
worktops are connected, via
Comme ceci est mieux visible sur la Fig. 2, on remarquera que l'eau condensée
dans les condenseurs 1 (voir Fig. 1) montés directement sur les plans de travail et la
vapeur résiduelle entrent à travers les vannes à vide 2, en se rabattant ensuite contre la
paroi froide 8, en perdant de la vitesse et en tombant immédiatement sur le fond, pour
être expulsées au moyen des décharges de condensats 4, disposées sur le fond de la cuve
3.As this is better visible in FIG. 2, we will notice that the condensed water
in condensers 1 (see Fig. 1) mounted directly on the worktops and the
residual steam enters through the
La vapeur résiduelle passe à travers un condenseur à tubes verticaux 9, elle est
refroidie à l'intérieur par de l'eau froide qui entre par l'ouverture d'entrée 10 et sort par
l'ouverture de sortie 11, ou inversement. La vapeur, en contact avec les parois froides
des tubes verticaux 9 du condenseur, se condense en eau, qui tombe sur le fond pour être
expulsée.The residual steam passes through a
Dans le but de condenser toute la vapeur possible, on a inséré des parois guide-vapeurs
12, traversées par les tubes du condenseur 9, parois qui contraignent la vapeur à
suivre un parcours en forme de 〈〈S〉〉, afin d'avoir la meilleure condensation possible.In order to condense all possible vapor, vapor guide walls have been inserted
12, through which the
On précise que les parois guide-vapeurs 12 sont fixées aux tubes du condenseur
9 et sont indépendantes de la paroi froide 8, de sorte qu'elles peuvent ainsi être extraites
conjointement avec les tubes 9 en cas de nécessité.It is specified that the
Dans le but de rabattre les éventuelles vapeurs résiduelles ou particules solides,
on monte, à la sortie du rabatteur de vapeurs vertical, un cyclone 5, dont la décharge est
reliée au fond du rabatteur par l'intermédiaire du tube de décharge 13. In order to reduce any residual vapors or solid particles,
a
Les avantages obtenus dans la présente installation, comparativement à celles qui
sont actuellement en utilisation sont essentiellement les suivants :
La peau traitée se présente séchée, en conservant la qualité maximale et les caractéristiques propres de la peau.The treated skin appears dried, retaining the maximum quality and specific characteristics of the skin.
On réussit à obtenir par ailleurs une économie de produits chimiques utilisés dans le traitement des peaux, avec réduction des coûts et de la pollution de l'environnement, tout en conservant la qualité des peaux inaltérée.We also manage to obtain savings on the chemicals used in the treatment of skins, with reduction of costs and pollution of the environment, while maintaining the quality of the skins unaltered.
Il n'est nécessaire de prévoir aucun type d'installation secondaire ni de réfrigérant puisqu'on réussit à sécher à basse température même avec l'eau dans les condenseurs aux environs de 20°C.There is no need for any type of secondary installation or refrigerant since it succeeds in drying at low temperature even with water in the condensers around 20 ° C.
Il est aussi possible d'obtenir une économie d'énergie notable sur les plans de travail.It is also possible to obtain a significant energy saving in terms of job.
Un autre avantage qui n'est pas négligeable consiste dans le fait que l'opérateur travaille sur des surfaces presque froides.Another advantage which is not negligible consists in the fact that the operator works on almost cold surfaces.
En outre, on a pu constater par les essais effectués, l'élimination d'une grande partie des fumées et des vapeurs dans le milieu de travail, ce qui constitue un avantage non négligeable.In addition, it has been observed by the tests carried out, the elimination of a large part of the fumes and vapors in the workplace, which is an advantage not negligible.
