Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Mischen eines ersten und eines zweiten Gases, wobei ein Strom eines ersten Gases in einer Hauptleitung geführt wird und das zweite Gas über eine Zuleitung zu einem Düsenkopf geführt und in mehrere Teilströme aufgeteilt wird. Femer bezieht sich die Erfindung auf eine Vorrichtung zum Mischen eines ersten und eines zweiten Gases mit einer Hauptleitung zur Führung des ersten Gases, einer Zuleitung für das zweite Gas, wobei sich die Zuleitung bis in das Innere der Hauptleitung erstreckt und an ihrem Ende im Wesentlichen parallel zur Symmetrieachse der Hauptleitung verläuft, und einem Düsenkopf, der an seinem hinteren Ende mit der Zuleitung verbunden ist, wobei der Düsenkopf Austrittskanäle für das zweite Gas besitzt.The invention relates to a method for mixing a first and a second gas, wherein a stream of a first gas is guided in a main line and the second gas is fed via a feed line to a nozzle head and divided into several sub-streams. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for mixing a first and a second gas with a main conduit for guiding the first gas, a supply line for the second gas, wherein the supply line extends into the interior of the main line and at its end substantially parallel extends to the axis of symmetry of the main line, and a nozzle head which is connected at its rear end to the supply line, wherein the nozzle head has outlet channels for the second gas.
Bei vielen Oxidationsprozessen in chemischen Reaktoren wird mit Sauerstoff angereicherte Luft als Oxidationsmittel eingesetzt. Der Sauerstoff wird hierzu mittels eines Injektors in den Luftstrom eingedüst, wobei eine möglichst gleichmäßige Verteilung des Sauerstoffs in dem Luftstrom erreicht werden muss. Anderenfalls könnten lokal erhöhte Sauerstoffkonzentrationen bei der anschließenden chemischen Reaktion zu lokalen Temperaturüberhöhungen, sogenannten "hot spots", führen, welche sich negativ auf die durchzuführende Reaktion auswirken können oder gar zu Schäden am Reaktor führen können.In many oxidation processes in chemical reactors, oxygen-enriched air is used as the oxidant. The oxygen is injected for this purpose by means of an injector into the air stream, whereby a uniform distribution of the oxygen in the air flow must be achieved as possible. Otherwise, locally increased oxygen concentrations in the subsequent chemical reaction could lead to local temperature peaks, so-called "hot spots", which can have a negative effect on the reaction to be carried out or even lead to damage to the reactor.
In der
Aufgabe vorliegender Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu entwickeln, die eine möglichst homogene Mischung der beiden zusammengeführten Gase ermöglichen.Object of the present invention is to develop a method and an apparatus of the type mentioned, which allow the most homogeneous possible mixture of the two combined gases.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren zum Mischen eines ersten und eines zweiten Gases gelöst, wobei ein Strom eines ersten Gases in einer Hauptleitung geführt wird und das zweite Gas über eine Zuleitung zu einem Düsenkopf geführt und in mehrere Teilströme aufgeteilt wird, wobei zumindest ein Teil der Teilströme unter einem Winkel zwischen 15° und 75° entgegen der Strömungsrichtung des ersten Gases in das erste Gas eingeleitet werden.This object is achieved by a method for mixing a first and a second gas, wherein a stream of a first gas is guided in a main line and the second gas is fed via a feed line to a nozzle head and divided into several sub-streams, wherein at least a part of the Partial flows are introduced at an angle between 15 ° and 75 ° counter to the flow direction of the first gas in the first gas.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Austrittskanäle um einen Winkel zwischen 15 und 75° gegen die Symmetrieachse der Hauptleitung geneigt sind.The inventive device of the type mentioned above is characterized in that the outlet channels are inclined at an angle between 15 and 75 ° against the axis of symmetry of the main line.
Erfindungsgemäß sind die Austrittskanäle um einen Winkel zwischen 15° und 75°, bevorzugt 30° bis 60°, besonders bevorzugt um einen Winkel zwischen 40° und 50°, gegen die Symmetrieachse der Hauptleitung geneigt. Die Austrittskanäle sind dabei gegen die Strömungsrichtung des ersten Gases gerichtet. Durch schräg gegen die Hauptströmung des ersten Gases gerichtete Austrittskanäle wird erreicht, dass das abgestrahlte zweite Gas weit in die Hauptströmung eindringt und gleichzeitig gut mit der Hauptströmung durchmischt wird. Durch das schräge Abstrahlen des zweiten Gases wird eine verlängerte Mischstrecke erzeugt, so dass das zweite Gas bis in die laminare Randströmung des ersten Gases vordringt und sich auch mit dieser mischt.According to the invention, the outlet channels are inclined at an angle between 15 ° and 75 °, preferably 30 ° to 60 °, particularly preferably at an angle between 40 ° and 50 °, with respect to the axis of symmetry of the main line. The outlet channels are directed against the flow direction of the first gas. By obliquely directed against the main flow of the first gas outlet channels is achieved that the radiated second gas far penetrates into the main flow and at the same time is well mixed with the main flow. Due to the oblique emission of the second gas, an extended mixing section is produced, so that the second gas penetrates into the laminar edge flow of the first gas and also mixes with it.
Der Düsenkopf besitzt mehrere Austrittskanäle für das zweite Gas. Bevorzugt sind die Austrittskanäle so ausgeführt, dass dem austretenden Gas keine Drallströmung aufgeprägt wird. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass sich die beiden Gase homogener mischen, wenn das über die Zuleitung zugeführte Gas geradlinig aus dem Düsenkopf austritt und keine Rotationsbewegung ausführt.The nozzle head has a plurality of outlet channels for the second gas. Preferably, the outlet channels are designed so that no swirling flow is imparted to the exiting gas. It has been shown that the two gases mix more homogeneously when the gas supplied via the supply line exits in a straight line from the nozzle head and does not perform any rotational movement.
Vorzugsweise werden die Zuleitung für das zweite Gas und der Düsenkopf so gestaltet, dass diese eine strömungsgünstige Form ohne Neigung zum Flattern besitzen. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, dass das vordere Ende des Düsenkopfs abgerundet ausgeführt ist, so dass dieser in der Strömung des ersten Gases keinen Auftrieb erfährt und eine stabile Lage beibehält. Zudem wird durch diese Formgebung der Strömungswiderstand verringert.Preferably, the supply line for the second gas and the nozzle head are designed so that they have a streamlined shape without tendency to flutter. This is achieved in that the front end of the nozzle head is rounded so that it does not experience buoyancy in the flow of the first gas and maintains a stable position. In addition, the flow resistance is reduced by this shaping.
Das vordere Ende des Düsenkopfes besitzt bevorzugt ein elliptisches, parabelförmiges oder halbkugelförmiges Profil. Durch diese Formgebung wird zum einen der Strömungswiderstand deutlich verringert, zum anderen wird sichergestellt, dass der Düsenkopf in der Hauptströmung des ersten Gases keinen Auftrieb erfährt und so die Flattemeigung des Düsenkopfes verringert wird. Je nach Anwendungsfall kann es aber auch günstig sein, das vordere Ende des Düsenkopfes eben auszuführen.The front end of the nozzle head preferably has an elliptical, parabolic or hemispherical profile. On the one hand, the flow resistance is markedly reduced by this shaping, on the other hand it is ensured that the nozzle head in the main flow of the first gas does not experience any buoyancy and thus the flattening of the nozzle head is reduced. Depending on the application, however, it may also be favorable to make the front end of the nozzle head flat.
Am hinteren Ende des Düsenkopfs erfolgt der Übergang auf die Zuleitung bevorzugt scharfkantig, wobei der Durchmesser des Düsenkopfs an dieser Stelle größer als der der Zuleitung ist. Der Übergang wirkt damit als Abrisskante. Vorzugsweise beträgt der Durchmesser der Zuleitung an der Verbindungsstelle zum Düsenkopf maximal 90% des Durchmessers des hinteren Endes des Düsenkopfes. Vorzugsweise beträgt der Winkel zwischen der Außenseite des Düsenkopfs und dem Übergang zur Zuleitung zwischen 30° und 90°.At the rear end of the nozzle head, the transition to the supply line is preferably sharp-edged, wherein the diameter of the nozzle head at this point is greater than that of the supply line. The transition thus acts as a spoiler lip. The diameter of the feed line at the connection point to the nozzle head is preferably at most 90% of the diameter of the rear end of the nozzle head. Preferably, the angle between the outside of the nozzle head and the transition to the feed line is between 30 ° and 90 °.
Von Vorteil erstreckt sich die Zuleitung bis zur Symmetrieachse der Hauptleitung und die Symmetrieachse des Düsenkopfs verläuft koaxial mit der Symmetrieachse der Hauptleitung.Advantageously, the supply line extends to the axis of symmetry of the main line and the axis of symmetry of the nozzle head extends coaxially with the axis of symmetry of the main line.
Für eine optimale Durchmischung der beiden Gase müssen alle Austrittskanäle gleichmäßig durchströmt werden. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass dies durch eine gleichmäßige Verteilung der Austrittskanäle in einer Reihe über den Umfang des Düsenkopfes erreicht werden kann. Vorzugsweise befinden sich die Austrittsöffnungen der Austrittskanäle im hinteren Drittel des Düsenkopfes. In diesem Bereich hat sich aufgrund der Profilierung des Düsenkopfes bereits eine definierte Strömung ausgebildet.For optimum mixing of the two gases, all outlet channels must be flowed through evenly. It has been found that this can be achieved by a uniform distribution of the outlet channels in a row over the circumference of the nozzle head. Preferably, the outlet openings of the outlet channels are located in the rear third of the nozzle head. In this area, a defined flow has already formed due to the profiling of the nozzle head.
Es ist aber auch möglich, das zweite Gas über mehrere Reihen von Austrittskanälen in dem Düsenkopf in die Hauptströmung des ersten Gases einzudüsen. Weiter hat es sich als günstig erwiesen, einen zentralen, auf der Symmetrieachse der Hauptleitung liegenden Austrittskanal vorzusehen, aus dem ein Teil des zweiten Gases entgegen der Strömungsrichtung des ersten Gases ausströmt.But it is also possible to inject the second gas via several rows of outlet channels in the nozzle head in the main flow of the first gas. Furthermore, it has proved to be favorable to provide a central outlet channel lying on the axis of symmetry of the main line, from which part of the second gas flows out against the flow direction of the first gas.
Durch den Düsenkopf wird in der Hauptleitung für das erste Gas ein bestimmter Strömungswiderstand hervorgerufen. Es hat sich insoweit gezeigt, dass sich eine gute Strömung in der Hauptleitung ausbildet, wenn der Durchmesser des hinteren Endes des Düsenkopfes, das heißt der maximale Durchmesser des Düsenkopfes, das 0,15- bis 0,3-fache des Durchmessers der Hauptleitung beträgt.Through the nozzle head, a certain flow resistance is caused in the main line for the first gas. It has been shown that a good Flow in the main line is formed when the diameter of the rear end of the nozzle head, that is, the maximum diameter of the nozzle head, which is 0.15 to 0.3 times the diameter of the main line.
Die Querschnittsflächen der Austrittskanäle werden klein im Verhältnis zur Querschnittsfläche der Zuleitung gewählt. Damit ist umgekehrt der Strömungswiderstand in den Austrittskanälen groß gegen den Strömungswiderstand in der Zuleitung und eventuelle Druckschwankungen in dem über die Zuleitung zugeführten Gas wirken sich nicht oder nur geringfügig auf den Durchsatz durch die Austrittskanäle aus.The cross-sectional areas of the outlet channels are chosen to be small in relation to the cross-sectional area of the feed line. Thus, conversely, the flow resistance in the outlet channels is large against the flow resistance in the supply line and any pressure fluctuations in the gas supplied via the feed line do not or only slightly affect the throughput through the outlet channels.
Die Austrittsgeschwindigkeit des zweiten Gases sollte deutlich unterhalb der Schallgeschwindigkeit liegen, um ein instationäres, stark kompressibles Verhalten auszuschließen. Vorzugsweise wird eine Austrittsgeschwindigkeit von weniger als der halben Schallgeschwindigkeit gewählt. Geeignete Austrittsgeschwindigkeiten liegen bei atmosphärischen Bedingungen im Bereich zwischen 50 m/s und 150 m/s, bevorzugt zwischen 70 m/s und 100 m/s.The exit velocity of the second gas should be well below the speed of sound in order to rule out a transient, highly compressible behavior. Preferably, an exit velocity of less than half the speed of sound is selected. At atmospheric conditions, suitable outlet velocities are in the range between 50 m / s and 150 m / s, preferably between 70 m / s and 100 m / s.
Die Regelung des zweiten Gases erfolgt vorzugsweise nur durch eine Regelung des gesamten über die Zuleitung zugeführten Stromes an zweitem Gas. Die einzelnen, durch die jeweiligen Austrittskanäle ausströmenden Einzelstrahlen an zweitem Gas werden nicht separat geregelt.The regulation of the second gas is preferably carried out only by controlling the total supplied via the supply line current to second gas. The individual individual jets of second gas flowing out through the respective outlet channels are not regulated separately.
Die Erfindung eignet sich insbesondere zur Sauerstoffanreicherung eines Luftstroms. Sauerstoffangereicherte Luft wird mit Vorteil in zahlreichen Oxidationsprozessen in der chemischen Industrie eingesetzt, so beispielsweise in Raffinerien, bei Claus-Verfahren oder FCC (Fluid Catalytic Cracking). Der Luftstrom wird in diesem Fall durch die Hauptleitung geleitet und Sauerstoff über die Zuleitung und den Düsenkopf in den Luftstrom eingedüst.The invention is particularly suitable for oxygen enrichment of an air stream. Oxygen-enriched air is advantageously used in numerous oxidation processes in the chemical industry, for example in refineries, Claus processes or FCC (fluid catalytic cracking). The air flow is in this case passed through the main line and injected oxygen via the supply line and the nozzle head in the air stream.
Es hat sich gezeigt, dass erfindungsgemäß Mischverhältnisse von zweitem Gas zu erstem Gas zwischen 1 zu 50 bis 1 zu 3 hergestellt werden können und Luftströme von bis zu 200.000 m3/h mit Sauerstoff angereichert werden können. Der bevorzugte Anwendungsbereich der Erfindung betrifft das Zumischen eines zweiten Gases in einen Strom eines ersten Gases, wobei der Strom des ersten Gases zwischen 1.000 m3/h und 200.000 m3/h, besonders bevorzugt zwischen 5.000 m3/h und 100.000 m3/h, beträgt.It has been shown that, according to the invention, mixing ratios of second gas to first gas can be produced between 1: 50 to 1: 3, and air flows of up to 200,000 m 3 / h can be enriched with oxygen. The preferred field of application of the invention relates to the admixing of a second gas into a flow of a first gas, wherein the flow of the first gas between 1,000 m 3 / h and 200,000 m 3 / h, more preferably between 5,000 m 3 / h and 100,000 m 3 / h.

Vorzugsweise sind hierzu entsprechende Flansche vorgesehen.The device according to the invention is small, stable and can be quickly installed in a pipeline. Preferably, corresponding flanges are provided for this purpose.

Die Querschnittsflächen der Austrittskanäle 13 sowie der zentralen Bohrung 12 sind klein gegen die Querschnittsfläche der Zuleitung 4. Vorzugsweise beträgt das Verhältnis der Querschnittsfläche eines Austrittskanals 13 zu der der Zuleitung 4 weniger als 2 %. Durch diese Ausführungsform wird sichergestellt, dass der Strömungswiderstand in einem Austrittskanal 13 groß gegen den Strömungswiderstand der Zuleitung 4 ist. Druckschwankungen in dem über die Zuleitung 4 zugeführten Sauerstoffstrom 14 und Druckschwankungen in der in der Hauptleitung 3 strömenden Luft 15 wirken sich so nicht oder nur unwesentlich auf den Sauerstoffdurchsatz durch die Austrittskanäle 13 aus.The cross-sectional areas of the
Die Geschwindigkeit des durch die Austrittskanäle 13 ausströmenden Sauerstoffs 16 beträgt vorzugsweise weniger als 50 % der Schallgeschwindigkeit, um instationäre Strömungsverhältnisse zu vermeiden.The velocity of the
Zudem sind die Austrittskanäle 12, 13 geradlinig durch den Düsenkopf 6 gebohrt, so dass der durch die Austrittskanäle 12, 13 ausströmende Sauerstoff keinerlei Drall erfährt. Die Bildung von Wirbeln, in denen sich Sauerstoff nicht mischt, wird so verhindert. Durch die Ausströmungsrichtung 16 von 45° gegen die Luftströmung 15 wird ein weites Eindringen der Mischstrahlen 16 in den Luftstrom 15 gesichert. Der Mischstrom dringt bis in die laminaren Strömungsschichten am Rand der Hauptleitung 1 vor und durchmischt sich mit der Luft.In addition, the
