Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Begasen, insbesondere feinblasigen Begasen, von flüssigen Medien, wie Reaktionslösungen, Zellkulturen und dergleichen. Die Vorrichtung besitzt einen Behandlungsraum und Gasleitmittel, um ein Gas aufwärts in den Behandlungsraum hinein zu leiten und eine in diesem enthaltene Flüssigkeit oder Lösung zu begasen. Die Behandlung des flüssigen Mediums kann chargenweise, kontinuierlich oder quasikontinuierlich erfolgen, wobei die Durchflussrate des durch die Wirbelkammer geleiteten Gases während des Behandlungsprozesses derart eingestellt werden sollte, dass das zu behandelnde flüssige Medium während der vorgesehenen Verwirbelungsdauer optimal mit dem Gas durchsetzt wird.The invention relates to a device for gassing, in particular fine-bubble fumigation, of liquid media, such as reaction solutions, Cell cultures and the like. The device has a treatment room and gas supply to a To lead gas up into the treatment room and one gassing liquid or solution contained in it. The Treatment of the liquid medium can be carried out batchwise, continuously or quasi-continuously, the flow rate of the gas passed through the swirl chamber during the treatment process should be stopped in such a way that the liquid medium to be treated during the intended Swirling time is optimally interspersed with the gas.
Bekannte Vorrichtungen zum Begasen von flüssigen Medien besitzen eine den Behandlungsraum umschliessende Wandung mit einem Fenster, einen am unteren Ende des Behandlungsraums angeordneten Gasverteiler mit mindestens zwei um eine vertikale Achse rotierbaren Zerteilerarmen, und mindestens ein Entlüftungsventil, das allenfalls mindestens einen Filter besitzt.Known devices for gassing liquid media have a wall surrounding the treatment room a window, one at the lower end of the treatment room Gas distributor with at least two by one vertical Axis rotatable divider arms, and at least one vent valve, that has at least one filter.
Bei diesen bekannten Vorrichtungen wird das Gas durch eine vertikale Hohlwelle in die Vorrichtung eingeleitet und mit den um diese Welle rotierbaren Zerteilerarmen, welche mit je mindestens einer Gasaustrittsöffnung versehen sind, in die zu behandelnde Flüssigkeit eingeleitet. Es hat sich nun gezeigt, dass bei den bekannten Vorrichtungen die Wirkung der rotierenden Arme hinsichtlich des gewünschten Zerteilungsgrades sehr oft ungenügend ist. So endet die Wirkung des Gasverteilers knapp oberhalb der Zerteilerarme, was bedeutet, dass das Gas innerhalb des Behandlungsraumes ohne zusätzliche Zwangsbewegung aufsteigt. Ein Begasen mittels sehr feiner Gasblasen innerhalb des ganzen Behandlungsraumes kann mit den bekannten Vorrichtungen nicht erreicht werden. Auch der Einsatz handelsüblicher Rührwerke können das Gas nicht optimal im flüssigen Medium verteilen. So genügen die konventionellen Rührwerke bei vielen erfindungsgemässen Anwendungen nicht den Anforderungen an die Homogenität und Rezepturstabilität des herzustellenden Produktes. Dies trifft unter anderem für das aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift 29 04 101 bekannte Verfahren zur Behandlung von Abwässern in Belebtschlammbecken zu. Bei diesem Verfahren wird unterhalb der Wasseroberfläche ein Belüftungsgas, nämlich reiner Sauerstoff oder ein sauerstoffhaltiges Gasgemisch, in das Abwasser eingeblasen und es wird das Abwasser durch Einwirkung eines zentral von oben in das Becken eingeführten Rührwerkes in Bewegung gesetzt. Gerade letztere Bewegung dient nicht dazu, die Wirkung des Gasverteilers zu erhöhen und den Verteilungsgrad des Gases innerhalb des Behandlungsraumes zu erhöhen.In these known devices, the gas is through a vertical hollow shaft is introduced into the device and with the divider arms rotatable about this shaft, which with are each provided with at least one gas outlet opening into which liquid to be treated introduced. It has now been shown that in the known devices, the effect of rotating arms with regard to the desired degree of division very often is insufficient. This is how the effect of the gas distributor ends just above the splitter arms, which means that the gas inside the treatment room without additional Forced movement rises. Fumigation using very fine Gas bubbles within the entire treatment room can with the known devices can not be achieved. The use too Commercial agitators cannot optimally use the gas distribute in the liquid medium. So the conventional ones are sufficient In many applications according to the invention, agitators do not have the Requirements for the homogeneity and formulation stability of the product to be manufactured. This applies, among other things, to the methods known from German Offenlegungsschrift 29 04 101 for the treatment of waste water in activated sludge tanks to. This process is below the water surface a ventilation gas, namely pure oxygen or an oxygen-containing one Gas mixture, blown into the waste water and it the wastewater is treated centrally from above the tank introduced agitator set in motion. The latter movement in particular does not serve the effect of Increase gas distributor and the degree of distribution of the gas to increase within the treatment room.
Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, Nachteile der bekannten Vorrichtungen zum Begasen von flüssigen Medien zu beheben und eine Vorrichtung vorzuschlagen, bei welcher durch einen hohen Zerteilungsgrad des in eine Flüssigkeit oder Lösung eingebrachten Gases der Wirkungsgrad der Begasung verbessert wird.The invention is based on the object, disadvantages the known devices for gassing liquid media to fix and propose a device in which due to a high degree of division into a liquid or solution introduced gas the efficiency of the fumigation is improved.
Diese Aufgabe wird gemäss der Erfindung durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by a device solved with the features of claim 1.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung gehen aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen hervor.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are shown in the dependent claims.

- mindestens einen vertikalachsigen Strahlmischer, um das Medium und das Gas von oben nach unten zu bewegen, wobei der Strahlmischer dezentral angeordnet ist und der Umlaufbahn der sich beim Betrieb der Vorrichtung rotierenden, mindestens einen Gasaustrittsöffnung bzw. Gasdüse direkt gegenüber liegt.

Erfindungsgemäss wird auf baulich einfache Art und Weise erreicht, dass die in der Flüssigkeit aufsteigenden Gasblasen mittels der Zerteilerarme bzw. des Verteiltellers in wendelförmige Umlaufbahnen versetzt werden, bevor sie in den Wirkungsbereich des Strahlmischers gelangen. Letzterer wirkt der Bildung eines ungünstigen Gas-Konzentrationsgradienten innerhalb des Behandlungsraumes entgegen, indem er das Medium und das Gas in Vertikalrichtung nach unten treibt. Der Strahlmischer besitzt hierzu insbesondere einen schnell-laufenden Rotor, der in einem Stator einen beispielsweise vertikalen Flüssigkeitsstrom erzeugt, der seinerseits direkt auf den Behälterboden gerichtet ist. Als Strahlmischer eignen sich zum Beispiel die Leitstrahlmischer der Firma Ystral GmbH, DE-Ballrechten-Dottingen.According to the invention is structurally simple achieved that the gas bubbles rising in the liquid by means of the splitter arms or the distributor plate in helical Orbits are moved before entering the area of effect of the jet mixer.

The jet mixer has a fast-running one Rotor, for example, vertical in a stator Liquid flow generated, which in turn directly on the bottom of the container is directed. As jet mixers are suitable for Example the jet stream mixers from Ystral GmbH, DE-Ballrechte-Dottingen.
