Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the reaction of self-igniting dusts in a dry-compressing vacuum pumping device and a corresponding vacuum pump.
- particles or fine dusts are often formed which, due to their chemical composition and their large surface, are so reactive that they ignite spontaneously on contact with ambient air, whereby they react with atmospheric oxygen.
- Such processes are, for example, the Czochalsky process for the production of silicon single crystals or the melting and Degassing of steels.
- silicon oxide (SiO) is formed and in the second case, metallic fine dusts, such as. B. magnesium dust.
- the dust particles are sucked into the vacuum pump, which generates the vacuum required for the process.
- the dust particles are absorbed by the lubricant and not discharged from the pump.
- the dusts also pose a safety risk for the maintenance personnel of the systems, as in the event of faulty operation or unplanned system ventilation, ignition of the dusts can not be ruled out. Such inflammation can even occur in the filter or in the piping.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method for Abresure redesigner dusts in a dry-compressing vacuum pump, in which a continuous Oxidat ⁇ on the reactive dusts within the vacuum pump, whereby the vacuum pump as such simplifies and the work on the vacuum pump is made safer.
- the inventive method is defined in claim 1. Thereafter, the vacuum pumping device during operation continuously metered oxygen is supplied, whereby an oxidation of the dust is effected.
- the invention provides a targeted Abreakt ⁇ on oxidizable dusts in the vacuum pump.
- silicon oxide (SiO 2 ) is oxidized to silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) and metals are oxidized to metal oxides. Since gas is essentially conveyed by the vacuum pump and the absolute mass flow of dust per unit of time is relatively low, this method represents a possibility of allowing the reactive dusts to react continuously and in a controlled manner. An uncontrolled inflammation of the dusts is reliably prevented.
- the oxygen supply can be in the form of pure oxygen or in the form of air.
- the supplied oxygen-containing gas can be introduced at a suitable point in the vacuum pump device, for example in the pump chamber at the pump inlet, in the course of the compression chamber or at the Pumpenaustr ⁇ tt.
- the invention further relates to a dry-compacting vacuum pumping device having at least one driven compression member and a housing with pump inlet and pump outlet.
- the vacuum pump is characterized in that the housing has at least one oxygen inlet with a throttle valve for regulating the inlet cross-section.
- a dry compressing vacuum pumping apparatus is contemplated; Screw pumps, claw pumps, Roots pumps, turbocompressors, side hydraulic compressors, dry compacting rotary vane pumps and others.
- the vacuum pumping device may consist of a single vacuum pump or of a plurality of pumps connected in series, each of which forms a pump stage.
- the oxygen may also be introduced into a reaction chamber located between two pump stages. In this case, a reaction space is provided. As a reaction space can also serve a pipe.
- temperature or pressure sensors are provided for monitoring the reaction in the vacuum pumping device.
- a method for cleaning the vacuum pumping device and the dusts of dust may be that after the end of the process, the supply of process gas is stopped and further an oxygen-containing gas mixture, for. As air is conveyed by the pumping device.
- the oxygen required for the oxidation may also be contained in the sealing gas of a shaft seal.
- the oxygen flows metered out of the shaft seal into a pump chamber or a line of the pumping device.
- Fig. 2 is a section along the line I ⁇ -II of Figure 1 and
- Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of the principle of the present
- a vacuum pump is provided in the form of a screw pump.
- This has an elongated housing 10, in which two screw rotors 12, 14 are rotatably mounted in opposite directions to each other.
- Each screw rotor has a helically arranged tooth 16, 18, the pitch of which continuously decreases from the pump inlet 20 to the pump outlet 22, as can be seen in FIG.
- the working chamber which migrates in the axial direction when the screw rotors rotate, decreases from the pump inlet 20 to the pump outlet 22.
- the compression chamber 24th Between the pump inlet and the pump outlet is the compression chamber 24th
- the pump inlet 20 forms the suction chamber, which is connected to the device to be evacuated.
- the process gas 38 is sucked. It contains particles 40 in the form of non-oxided dusts.
- the pump inlet 20 is connected to a laterally attached to the housing 10 oxygen inlet 26 which is provided with a throttle valve 28.
- the throttle valve 28 may be set to different throttle areas to regulate the oxygen supply.
- the oxygen may be pure oxygen or be part of a gas mixture, e.g. B. of air.
- the dusts react in the pump housing 10 in a controlled manner with the supplied oxygen as soon as an oxygen partial pressure required for the reaction is established during the compression.
- An alternative embodiment of the oxygen inlet is designated 26a.
- the oxygen inlet 26a is located in the middle region of the length of the Compression space 24, and in the middle between the two intermeshing helical teeth 16, 18th
- a third alternative is the oxygen inlet 26b, which is arranged at the pump outlet 22.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of the pump with the Pumpeneiniass 20, in which the process gas 38 is sucked.
- the oxygen inlet 26 is here at the intake of the pump inlet 20th
- the full beads represent the unoxidized particles in Figure 3 and the hollow beads represent the oxidized particles.
- the oxidation takes place in the compression space 24 depending on which of the oxygen inlets 26, 26a, 26b is open.
- the shafts for rotating the screw rotors are designated 30 in FIG.
