  • the raised contours are arranged that especially in the case of viscous and highly viscous substances and mixtures good mixing effect occurs and at the same time due to the significantly enlarged pipe outer surface rapid, gentle temperature control is only possible.
  • soldered static mixers which are in somewhat better temperature control properties Housing or pipes are soldered. Soldering requires a precisely prepared one Housing or tube and a machined on its outer diameter Static mixer, so that a good and complete solder connection is achieved can. The mechanical preparations for the parts to be soldered are complex and expensive. Soldered static mixers show a good contact surface when soldered well to the inner tempered housing wall. Because of the geometric structure however, the static mixer is the contact surface to the heated housing surface small, so that only a slightly higher temperature control output to the product flow is possible. The enlargement of the tempered area compared to the rolled area Static mixers are not significantly higher, so mixing sticks with soldered Static mixers, can not be shortened significantly. The soldering process is because of the limited size of the soldering furnace and because of the distortion of the tubes when Soldering only possible with a small tube length (generally ⁇ 2 m).

  • the middle tube is only open on one side (similar to the version in FIG. 14 a) and through a capillary 13 on one side through the temperature control chamber 4 extended to outside the mixer / heat exchanger unit 9.
  • Outside the Unit 9 can now connect a metering pump, which is not shown in FIG. 15 to e.g. another substance (additive, entrainer, reactants) over the entire flow cross-section of the module or unit dose and distribute. Bores or nozzles 14 along the tube in the product stream ensure an even distribution over the flow cross-section the unit.
  • the heat transfer medium e.g. hot water, oil, cooling brine
  • the simplest version is the inside diameter 3 of the pipe in the outlet area to the dissipating heat transfer chamber reduced in size over a short distance, e.g. on the inside diameter 3 ', similar to in Figure 11 is shown. If steam is used as an energy source, this narrowing is of the inner diameter 3 of the tube 1 is not required.
  • Compact heat exchangers have the task of flowing through in a short time Medium as high as possible, i.e. heat as close as possible to the heating medium temperature, so that due to a short-term temperature load no thermal Damage to the product occurs.
  • Compact heat exchangers are designed to have smaller apparatus dimensions have, as known heat exchangers with the same performance, thus only a small space requirement in a process engineering plant and this results in low installation and investment costs.
  • An essential feature to compare different types of heat exchanger is the heat transfer performance, the required heat exchange surface and the product side Apparatus volume.
  • the mixer / heat exchanger according to the invention was also used a device from the prior art (published patent application DE-2 839 564 A1) compared.
  • the investigated mixer / heat exchanger according to the invention corresponded basically the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 2a, but with four instead of two pipes arranged next to each other across the product flow direction and overall Nine instead of three arranged one behind the other in the direction of flow 21 Pipe bundles (see Figure 2a).
  • a highly viscous substance (silicone oil) with a viscosity of 10 Pa.s was selected and pumped through the heat exchanger with a gear pump, so that the mass flow could be determined gravimetrically in the outlet area of the respective apparatus.
  • the heat exchangers were connected to an electrically heated and controlled thermostat (heating output 3 kW). Water was selected as the heat transfer medium so that the thermostat controller for the flow temperature at the thermostat was set to 90 ° C.
  • the inlet and outlet temperatures of the heat transfer medium and the product side were measured using a Pt-100 thermocouple and registered and saved on a data acquisition system.
  • the apparatus data show design-related deviations. From table 1 is It can be seen that the mixer / heat exchanger has a shorter design and therefore has a lower volume on the product side (hold-up). In addition, the Mixer / heat exchanger an effective heat transfer area smaller by 0.01 qm. Due to the design, there is always a section in the mixer / heat exchanger of the housing tempered. The effective total temperature control area is for the test evaluation been used. From the tests carried out, the measured Temperatures and pressures, the characteristic data were calculated and compared in Table 2 for both heat exchangers. It the transferred heat output, the average heat transfer coefficient and the pressure loss was calculated from the recorded measured values.
  • Table 2 shows the calculated performance data of the heat exchangers for a constant volume flow (silicone oil) of approx. 30 l / h.
