Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for uniformly acting on a flat surface of a workpiece with a heated gas, wherein an occupied with nozzles, parallel to the flat surface extending and provided with openings for the nozzle nozzle bottom is provided.
- Such devices are used, for example, to heat coils of coils wound into coils.
- the highest possible heat transfer is desired, so that the treatment time is as short as possible.
- excessive heating of individual areas, in particular the strip edges of coils should be avoided. It follows that the most favorable arrangement is to be found, which allows a uniform and high heat transfer possible.
- a device of the type mentioned is described for example in DE 196 50 965.
- This has a flat nozzle bottom with nozzle openings, which directs the respective emerging gas jet inclined to the surface of the workpiece on this.
- the nozzles are grouped together and aligned in their direction of deflection so that the projection of the jets of two adjacent nozzles of a group forms an angle resulting from the division of 360 ° by the number of nozzles associated with a group.
- a disadvantage of this arrangement is in particular in the long beam path, which results from the inclination of the jet axis of a single nozzle relative to the normal to the nozzle bottom of a group and has a large decrease in the heat transfer with increasing distance from the nozzle bottom result.
- the object of the invention is to provide a device of the type mentioned, which significantly reduces the heat transfer loss occurring over known devices of the relevant type and increases the uniformity of the heat distribution.
- nozzles are each tubular, that in them a gas helically leading deflector is arranged and that the nozzles are normal to the surface to be acted upon.
- the device according to the invention can be embodied such that the deflection devices are formed from one or more metal strips which are each formed from one or more evenly distributed over the circumference of the nozzle, extending helically through the nozzle metal strip whose width adapted to the radius of the nozzle and that the winding at n metal strips extends at least over 360 ° / n, so that the projection of the deflection completely covers the cross section of the respective nozzle.
- the radiation influence of a heating device arranged on the inflow side of the nozzle base can thus be excluded.
- the jet of a nozzle can be advantageously influenced if the deflection device has at least two coiled flow channels.
- An advantageous distribution of the nozzles on the nozzle bottom is obtained if the nozzles are arranged equidistantly on normal straight lines and the turns of the juxtaposed on a common line adjacent nozzles are opposite.
- the thus adjacent gas jets are given a direction which promotes the uniformity of the gas jet distribution and thus the heating of the surface to be flowed significantly.
- the deflection devices can advantageously extend over the entire length of a nozzle, so that the rotation over the greatest possible length is thus impressed on the respectively passing gas jet.
- the nozzles are preferably arranged on the outflow side of the nozzle base, but can sit on the inflow side in specific applications.
- FIG. 1 shows a horizontal section through an oven, in which the areas of the material to be acted upon by the hot gas are blown from two opposite sides,
- FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a tubular nozzle in which a deflection device is arranged from two metal strips
- Fig. 3 the flow of the gas between the nozzles and the surface to be acted upon the goods.
- Fig. 1 shows a furnace 1, in which the surfaces to be acted upon 2 of the goods are blown over the tubular nozzle 3 formed.
- hot gas is taken from a fan 4 from the furnace chamber and fed to the attached to the downstream side of the nozzle bottom 5 nozzles 3 on the inflow side 7 of the nozzle bottom 5.
- the heating required for the heating of the gas is not shown.
- Fig. 2 shows an example of a nozzle 3 according to the invention with a circular cross-section.
- a deflection device 6 is mounted over the entire length, which in this case consists of two radially penetrating strips of material, so that the interior of the nozzle is divided into four separate flow channels.
- the deflection device 6 is formed helically to the axis of the nozzle, extending over the entire length of the nozzle and is rotated by 90 °. The gas flowing through it is given a twist. A substantially rectilinear flow is thus excluded.
- the nozzles 3 show the flow path of the gas between the nozzle bottom 5 and the surface 2 to be acted upon.
- the nozzles 3 are arranged on the downstream side of the nozzle bottom 5 and normal to the surface 2 to be acted upon.
- the direction of flow of the gas is indicated by the arrows.
- the gas is aligned by the deflection device 6. This causes the cross-sectional area of the gas jet in the propagation direction to increase.
- the increase in the cross-sectional area depends on the swirl applied to the gas in the deflection device, so that the impact area of a jet can be determined via it. After the impact of the jet on the surface 2, the gas flows back between the nozzles 3.
