Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a process and apparatus for recycling and purifying a quenching gas, such as helium gas, in the presence of a treating gas, such as carburizing gas, for use with an atmospheric furnace for treating components.
- a quenching gas such as helium gas
- a treating gas such as carburizing gas
- the hardening or treating of components generally requires a heat treatment followed by a rapidly quenching treatment using a fluid such as oil.
- a fluid such as oil.
- the process using oil can cause safety and environmental concerns. Exposing oil to a temperature of 900°C could cause the oil to volatilize and/or oxidize.
- the oxidized oil represents a degradation of the oil that must be filtered out of the quenching bath or removed by changing the oil. In either case, the oxidized oil and oil changes represent a waste stream that should be disposed of or partly recycled.
- oil remains on the treated components removed from the oil quench bath. Oil tends to drip off the components as they are handled and moved to the cleaning area.
- Spent quenching-oil coated components may require an additional cleaning step before they are shipped or machined. Additionally, quenching with oil may cause the components to distort significantly.
- gas such as helium, has been used to cool components after they had been heated in a furnace.
- United States Patent No. 5,158,625 discloses a process for heat treating articles by hardening them in a recirculating gas medium which is in contact with the treated articles.
- the hardening gas is cooled by means of a heat exchanger, of the type in which helium is used as hardening gas, and is stored under holding pressure in a buffer container.
- a helium load is extracted from the treatment enclosure, in final phase by means of a pump until a primary vacuum is obtained.
- the extracted helium is brought to purifying pressure by means of a compressor associated to a mechanical filter, and the helium under pressure is sent to a purifier in which impurities are removed, after which it is transferred, if desired, after recompression in the buffer container.
- United States Patent No. 5,938,866 discloses an apparatus for the treatment of components by means of a gas mixture, comprising mainly a first light gas and minor amounts of a second gas being heavier than the first gas.
- the apparatus has a treatment chamber, where the treatment occurs and a concentration, and purification device in which the gas mixture is concentrated and purified to increase the concentration of the first gas.
- the treatment chamber comprises an outlet member provided in an upper part of the treatment chamber and means being arranged to move the gas mixture upwardly and out through the outlet member.
- United States Patent No. 4,867,808 discloses a process for heat treatment of metallic workpieces by heating in a vacuum furnace followed by quenching in a coolant gas under above-atmospheric pressure and with coolant-gas circulation.
- United States Patent No. 5,173,524 discloses a rapid gas quenching process wherein an increased cooling rate of an article heated to an elevated temperature is achieved by flowing an inert gas mixture of helium and another inert gas over the article under conditions of turbulent flow.
- a quenching gas such as helium
- a quenching gas such as helium
- the invention relates to a process for heat treating components in an atmospheric heat-treating furnace comprising the steps of:
- step (b), (c), (e) and (f) shall mean furnace as recited in step (a) of the novel process of this invention.
- the process of this invention is suitable for treatment of components manufactured from carbon, alloy and tool steels. Of particular importance are the carburizing grades of steel such as AISI grades 5120, 8115, 8620 and 9310.
- a primary use of the novel process of this invention is for use in atmospheric carburizing furnaces in which the treating gas can be at least one gas selected from the group comprising methane, methane, carbon monoxide, nitrogen, propane and butane.
- a common treating gas for carburizing is endothermic gas which consists of about 20% carbon monoxide, 40% hydrogen and 40% nitrogen. The treating gas could be heated to about 750°C and about 1200°C, preferably about 800°C and about 1000°C.
- the carburizing gas would be heated between about 850°C and about 1100°C, and preferably about 900°C and about 950°C.
- the quenching gas could be at least one gas selected from the group consisting of helium, preferably as the major component (>50%) and from the group consisting of nitrogen, argon and carbon monoxide as the minor component.
- the preferred quenching gas would be helium.
- the quenching gas should be pressurized at least to 37 psia and preferably between about 74 psia and about 890 psia, and more preferably between about 147 psia and about 368 psia.
- the quenched treated component is generally removed from the quenching chamber at atmospheric pressure and slightly above ambient temperature.
- the subject invention also relates to an apparatus for the treatment of components by a gas in an atmospheric furnace
- an atmospheric furnace adapted for receiving treating gas and a component to be gas treated, the atmospheric furnace coupled to a quenching chamber which is adapted for receiving the treated component from the atmospheric furnace and a quenching gas;
- the quenching chamber coupled to a gas recovery device adapted for receiving spent treating gas and quenching gas and having means for separating the gases to provide a purified quenching gas;
- the gas recovery device coupled to the quenching chamber and adapted for transmitting the purified gas into the quenching chamber; and the apparatus operable such that quenching gas can be recycled between the quenching chamber and the recovery device.
- Figure 1 is a schematic of a gas quenching system.
- Figure 2 is a schematic of a helium/endothermic gas quenching system of the present invention.
- Figure 3 is a schematic of another embodiment of a helium gas quenching system of the present invention.
- Figure 1 shows an equipment orientation that will allow helium quenching for an atmospheric carburizing furnace using an endothermic gas or a vacuum carburizing furnace using a gas such as propane or methane.
- furnace 1 is opened and the components and furnace atmosphere enter, via duct 2, heated vacuum chamber 3.
- Heated vacuum chamber 3 is sealed from furnace 1 and helium quenching chamber 5.
- the atmosphere is removed via vacuum pump 9.
- heated vacuum chamber 3 remains at the furnace temperature so that the components do not start to cool.
- the chamber may or may not be back filled with helium at a pressure, for example, about 14.7 psia.
- the components will move to helium quenching chamber 5 when the chamber has met the following conditions.
- Chamber 5 is empty of the previous load of components, the chamber has been sealed from the outside atmosphere, and the outside atmosphere has been removed from chamber 5 via vacuum pump 9. Once the seal between chambers 3 and 5 is broken the components will move to chamber 5 and the seal established once again between chambers 3 and 5.
- Chamber 5 will then receive helium at the quenching pressure (e.g. 290 psia).
- the helium is removed from chamber 5 via duct 10 to helium recovery system 11 and then the components are moved to the next step in the process, for example, machining.
- the spent helium is purified to a desired level in helium recovery system 11 and the purified helium is returned to chamber 5 via duct 12.
- FIG. 1 shows one embodiment of a novel process of the subject invention.
- Carburized components plus the furnace atmosphere are moved directly to quenching chamber 3 and then sealed from furnace 1.
- Quenching chamber 3 is then pressurized with quenching gas from the quenching gas recovery system and the components are quenched.
- the quenching gas plus furnace atmosphere is then removed from quenching chamber 3 via quenching gas recovery system 7.
- the quenched components are then moved on to the next step in the process (e.g. machining 5).
- Figure 2 shows the difference between the embodiment described by Figure 1 above and the subject invention.
- Subject invention results in reduced equipment cost and process complexity. Both require the use of a quenching chamber. However, previous recycle systems were not feasible to remove the carburizing gases.
- Table 1 shows a typical carburization gas composition that would enter the quenching chamber when an evacuation of the chamber is not performed.
- a significant amount of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, hydrogen and nitrogen enter into the system.
- the carburization gas will represent 5% of the total gas in the quenching chamber.
- Compound % of Carburization Gas Mass in Quenching Chamber (lbs) CO 2 1 0.08 CH 4 1 0.03 H 2 O 2 0.07 CO 19 0.98 H 2 38 0.28 N 2 39 2.02
- the subject invention could use a catalyst followed by a molecular sieve to purify the entire quenching gas stream and return pure helium to the quenching chamber.
- Figure 3 shows a gas recovery system in which quenching gas flows from quenching chamber 20 via duct 24 to the suction side of oil flooded screw compressor 25.
- the pressure of the suction side of oil flooded screw compressor 25 is controlled to a maximum by pressure regulator 23.
- Oil flooded screw compressor 25 will discharge the quenching gas at 150 psig or higher.
- the discharge of oil flooded screw compressor 25 will pass through oil removal equipment (not shown) in duct 26 and then through the suction side of diaphragm compressor 27.
- the discharge of compressor 27 is at a higher pressure such as 575 psig ( ⁇ 40 bar absolute)
- the composition of gas in the receiver before equalization with the quenching chamber is approximately 95% pure helium.
- the endo gases as shown in Table 1 lowers the helium purity to approximately 90%.
- Oxygen was not shown in the simulation below but would be present because air inlet valve 34 feeds the suction of compressor 25. Oxygen is completely consumed in the conversion of hydrogen to water and carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. The presence of oxygen in the membrane is expected to have an insignificant impact on the helium recovery and final steady state gas composition.
- the hot gas from diaphragm compressor 27 passes through catalyst bed 36 to convert some of the hydrogen to water and carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide.
- Oxygen is provided for the reaction by air inlet valve 34 at the suction side of oil flooded screw compressor 25.
- Valve 34 allows the air to enter the quenching gas recovery system and is controlled by a signal from hydrogen analyzer 38. When the level of hydrogen is over a predetermined set point, hydrogen analyzer 38 will send a signal to valve 34 to let in air. Analyzer 38 maintains an excess of hydrogen in the system. The combination of catalyst and excess hydrogen will cause the removal of oxygen to the PPM level such as ⁇ 10 PPM.
- the hydrogen analyzer is located in duct 40 after valve 42.
- the gas stream is cooled in heat exchanger 44 and passed through separator 46 to remove entrained water.
- the entrained water passes to a trap and is discharged from the system.
- the trap may operate by a float or a timer (T).
- T timer
- the trap seals the quenching gas recovery system from outside air and does not allow quenching gas to escape from the quenching gas recovery system.
- the quenching gas will fill quenching gas ballast tank 48 from valve 56 until the pressure reaches, for example, 590 psig as measured by PIT 50. Not all of the gas in the quenching chamber is removed to the quenching gas recovery system and some quenching gas is lost during purification with membrane 30.
- quenching gas ballast tank 48 Once quenching gas ballast tank 48 reaches a predetermined set point pressure, then the quenching gas recovery system has finished and shuts down. When the quenching gas recovery system shuts down, butterfly valve 54 closes. Air/nitrogen or other gas back fills the quenching chamber and the components are removed. The empty chamber is closed and purged with nitrogen or other gas. A new load of hot components is then placed in quenching chamber 20 and quenching gas ballast tank 48 is equalized with quenching chamber 20 through butterfly valve 60. The next cycle begins.
- quenching gas pressure requirements of approximately 10 bar or less would use only one compressor.
- the compressor could circulate 60% of the recovered gas in the quenching chamber through the compressor and through the membrane. Therefore, the compressor could remove 875. CF of quenching gas from the quenching chamber. From the discharge of the compressor, 525 CF could pass through the membrane back to the suction side of the compressor. For a cycle time of 15 minutes, the compressor would move 1400 CF or 5600 SCFH. Thus, compressor 27 is significantly smaller at 3500 SCFH. A smaller compressor 27 saves on capital cost and operating cost over the prior art.
- a water separator could be used to remove entrained water (Figure 3 #46). Heater exchanger 44 could be augmented with a chiller for lower volumes of water in the quenching gas. The amount of water in the quenching gas should remain constant as a saturated gas, at the temperature and pressure of the stream, entering ballast tank 48.
