Definitions

  • Such a method is for example known from the document US 6402050 which describes apparatuses for dynamic spraying of powdery materials with gases in the field of application of the production of coatings for example anti-corrosive or reflective for machined surfaces.
  • This document describes the use of a sonic neck with a particular ratio of the cross-sectional areas between the sonic nozzle and the supply of pulverulent material, in order to maintain a pressure below atmospheric pressure to ensure the transport of the powder by a flow of air at atmospheric pressure.
  • This document does not disclose that the sonic type nozzle makes it possible to obtain a constant flow of powdery material.
  • an inert gas such as nitrogen, which is not compatible with the process according to the invention because the carrier gas must be reactive with an element of the material pulverulent and in any case requires an additional supply of nitrogen, which makes the process less flexible.
  • the invention therefore aims to overcome these disadvantages by providing a method in which the flow of pulverulent material is adjustable and reproducible without affecting the flow of the carrier gas.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized in that it further comprises an adjustment of said lower pressure, which exists in the depression zone by derivation or not, before the expansion, of an adjustable quantity of said gas carrier having been accelerated to reintroduce said adjustable amount in the aforesaid depression zone without modifying said flow rate, in particular in its entirety.
  • the amount of instant powdered material entrained should be advantageously optimized from the point of view of the excellence of the coating but also from the point of view of the cost of consumption of the latter. Upstream of the cane or spraying lance, it is therefore important to intimately mix the pulverulent material with the carrier and reagent gas in an adjustable amount. Therefore, constraints also dictate the value of this last parameter.
  • the method according to the invention as described above has the desired flexibility compared to a conventional method using a venturi effect.
  • the projection method according to the invention comprising a step of adjusting said depression by shunting or not, before the expansion of an adjustable amount of carrier gas has been accelerated, allows, while not changing the flow rate of carrier gas outlet, to change the value of the lower pressure in the vacuum zone, which allows to adjust the amount of pulverulent material entrained.
  • the amount of carrier and reactant gas withdrawn and reintroduced is large, the value of the pressure in the vacuum zone will be closer to the compression pressure and the amount of pulverulent material entrained will be reduced.
  • the quantity of carrier and reactive gas withdrawn and reintroduced is small, the value of the pressure in the depression zone will be considerably lower compared with the value of the aforesaid compression pressure and a quantity of substantial and close pulverulent material. its maximum value will also be driven. If the amount of carrier gas is zero, the value of the depression is maximum and has the value furthest away from the compression pressure that the process can achieve and the maximum amount of pulverulent material is entrained. Therefore, the amount of carrier gas and reactant derivative (that is to say, withdrawn and reintroduced) allows to adjust in a particularly clever way the amount of pulverulent material entrained.
  • the invention has thus made it possible to overcome at least part of the drawbacks of the state of the art by making it possible to adjust to a reproducible value the quantity of pulverulent material entrained while ensuring a flow of carrier gas which is constant, thereby guaranteeing a constant ejection speed.
  • the final result, the reproducibility and the quality of the projection depend directly on this flow of pulverulent material entrained by the said carrier gas.
  • An optimal carrier gas flow ensures optimal transport of the material to be sprayed and since the projection is made by means of a cane or projection lance, having a well-defined projection section, the projection speed for a given temperature carrier gas will be conditioned by the flow of this carrier gas.
  • the sonic blocking establishes a fixed flow rate which is not influenced by the variations in pressure drop in the downstream circuit. Therefore, the carrier gas flow has become constant and the projection speed conditioned by this constant flow is optimal.
  • the optimal ejection speed thus obtained in the carrier gas greatly increases the reliability and reproducibility of the pulverulent material spraying method according to the invention.
  • the method according to the invention can be advantageously applied in a reactive projection repair process which consists in projecting medium of a carrier gas stream on a zone concerned, a pulverulent material (comprising for example a refractory filler and metal powder), finely pulverized.
  • a reactive projection repair process which consists in projecting medium of a carrier gas stream on a zone concerned, a pulverulent material (comprising for example a refractory filler and metal powder), finely pulverized.
  • the quality of the coating obtained on the generally refractory wall depends on several parameters including the substrate temperature and the projection speed.
  • the carrier gas can also be advantageously a reactive gas with at least one of the elements of the pulverulent material and, in contact with the hot wall, the mixture reacts spontaneously and a series of chemical reactions leads to the formation of a homogeneous, adherent refractory material whose characteristics are compatible with those of the treated support.
  • the projection speed is a preponderant element. Indeed, if the latter is too weak, there is a risk of backfire. If it is too important, the amount of material may not react (because not participating in the exothermic reaction) and bounce excessively on the wall at the expense of the quality of the magma formation generated by the reactive projection.
  • the method according to the invention therefore aims to provide an optimum weld quality by providing a projection quality and impact of said powdery material on the surface to be repaired constant over time.
  • the method according to the invention makes it possible to obtain a flow of carrier and reactive gas directly dependent on the inlet pressure but independent of any pressure change resulting from the downstream circuit.
  • the grains constituting the pulverulent material sprayed are driven by an optimized speed thanks to the carrier gas which conveys the pulverulent material pneumatically and their quantity is adjustable.
  • the carrier gas flow according to the invention advantageously has a constant value at the outlet, free from any variation due to imperfections, the method according to the invention has an optimal speed of projection for a given application.
  • the method according to the invention further comprises a compression of said reactive carrier gas which has been accelerated prior to expansion, which improves the entrainment of the pulverulent material aforesaid.
  • the aim of the invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art by providing a device making it possible to obtain an optimum projection speed for a mass flow rate of selected powder, increasing the reproducibility of the work performed by the user of the device according to the invention. invention and accuracy as well as the costs of pulverulent material.

  • the carrier gas that passes through the convergent-divergent nozzle sonic or also called Laval's son undergoes an acceleration to a sonic speed through a shock wave that was created in the venturi.
  • the sonic lock thus obtained establishes a fixed flow rate that is not influenced by the pressure difference between the upstream and the downstream of the nozzle.

  • the total projection is optimized and the yield is increased.
  • the carrier gas reintroduced into the vacuum zone causes a counterpressure that acts on the vacuum and at most the amount of carrier gas reintroduced into the vacuum zone is large, the more the amount of pulverulent material entrained is low. The opposite is also applicable. If the user wishes to drive the maximum quantity of powdery material, it is sufficient not to take carrier gas.
