Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Behälterreinigungsanlage der im Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 erläuterten Art.The invention relates to a container cleaning system explained in the preamble of claim 1 Art.

Behälterreinigungsanlagen, beispielsweise Reinigungsanlagen für Mehrwegbehälter in der Getränkeindustrie, sind relativ energieaufwändig im Betrieb. Diese Behälterreinigungsanlagen enthalten meist eine Mehrzahl von Behandlungsstufen, in denen die Behälter mit Reinigungsmittel bzw. Reinigungslauge behandelt werden, wobei in den meisten Behandlungsstufen das Reinigungsmittel eine erhöhte Temperatur aufweisen muss. Da das Reinigungsmittel anschließend verworfen, d.h. dem Abwasser zugeführt wird, sind bereits Bestrebungen bekannt, beispielsweise aus der DE 32 05 956 , diese Behälterreinigungsanlagen energiesparender, insbesondere Wärmeenergie sparender, zu betreiben. Der Ansatz für eine energiesparende Ausgestaltung liegt jedoch bei den bekannten Behälterreinigungsanlagen in der Rückgewinnung von Abwärme. Dagegen erfolgt die Erwärmung der Behandlungsflüssigkeiten auf konventionelle Art, d.h. beispielsweise durch eine brennstoffbefeuerte Heizeinrichtung oder dergleichen.Container cleaning systems, such as cleaning systems for reusable containers in the beverage industry, are relatively energy consuming in operation. These container cleaning systems usually contain a plurality of treatment stages, in which the containers are treated with cleaning agent or cleaning liquor, wherein in most treatment stages, the cleaning agent must have an elevated temperature. Since the detergent is subsequently discarded, that is supplied to the wastewater, efforts are already known, for example from the DE 32 05 956 to operate these container cleaning systems energy-saving, in particular heat energy-saving. However, the approach to an energy-saving design is in the known container cleaning systems in the recovery of waste heat. In contrast, the heating of the treatment liquids in a conventional manner, ie, for example, by a fuel-fired heater or the like.

In der DE 20 2008 014330 U1 wird eine Vorrichtung zur Energieversorgung einer Brauerei beschrieben, die Mittel zur Umsetzung eines Biogases in thermische und elektrische Energie und Mittel zur Bereitstellung eines Restbedarfes an elektrischer und thermischer Energie aus regenerativen Quellen umfasst.In the DE 20 2008 014330 U1 a device for supplying energy to a brewery is described which comprises means for converting a biogas into thermal and electrical energy and means for providing a residual requirement of electrical and thermal energy from regenerative sources.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Behälterreinigungsanlage energiesparend zu betreiben.The invention has for its object to operate a container cleaning system energy-saving.

Die Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.The object is solved by the features specified in claim 1.

Blockheizkraftwerke mit ihrer Kraft-Wärme-Kupplung sind energetisch sehr sinnvoll, da sowohl elektrischer Strom als auch Wärme am Ort des Verbrauches erzeugt werden und die oft sehr hohen Übertragungsverluste vermieden werden. Bislang sind Blockheizkraftwerke überwiegend zur Beheizung und zur Stromversorgung von Gebäuden eingesetzt worden, ein Einsatz für Prozessenergie wurde zwar auch schon realisiert, stößt jedoch aufgrund der Tatsache, dass Blockheizkraftwerke nur begrenzt bedarfsgerecht Energie bereitstellen können, auf enge Grenzen.Combined heat and power plants with their power-heat coupling are energetically very useful, since both electrical power and heat are generated at the place of consumption and the often very high transmission losses are avoided. So far, combined heat and power plants have been used predominantly for heating and powering buildings, a use for process energy has indeed been implemented, but comes due to the fact that cogeneration limited power can provide limited energy needs, to narrow limits.

Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung wird eine Möglichkeit vorgeschlagen, eine dieser Grenzen zu umgehen. Blockheizkraftwerke können im Allgemeinen keine geringen Temperaturdifferenzen verarbeiten. Sie wären deshalb für Wärmekreisläufe zum Erwärmen einer Hauptreinigungsstufe bei einer Behälterreinigungsanlage nur bedingt geeignet, da nach dem Aufheizen der Behandlungsflüssigkeit in der Hauptreinigungsstufe der Rücklauf nur auf ca. 83°C abgekühlt ist. Das Blockheizkraftwerk kann jedoch dieses relativ gering abgekühlte Wärmemedium nur schlecht wieder verarbeiten. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung, eine Vorbehandlungsstufe als Rücklaufkühler zu betreiben, kann die Rücklauftemperatur so weit abgesenkt werden, bevorzugt auf etwa 70°C oder weniger, dass das Blockheizkraftwerk den Rücklauf besser verarbeiten kann.The present invention proposes a way to circumvent one of these limits. Combined heat and power plants can generally handle no small temperature differences. They would therefore only of limited suitability for heat cycles for heating a main cleaning stage in a container cleaning plant, since after the heating of the treatment liquid in the main cleaning stage, the return is cooled to only about 83 ° C. The combined heat and power plant, however, can process this relatively low-cooled heat medium only poorly. By the solution according to the invention, a pretreatment stage as reflux cooler to operate, the return temperature can be lowered so far, preferably to about 70 ° C or less, that the cogeneration plant can better handle the return.

Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist dem Unteranspruch zu entnehmen.An advantageous development of the invention is shown in the dependent claim.

Die Versorgung der Hauptreinigungsstufe und/oder der Vorbehandlungsstufe über Wärmetauscher stellt die konstruktiv einfachste Möglichkeit dar. Um als Rücklaufkühler in optimaler Effektivität zu wirken, wird der Wärmetauscher der Vorbehandlungsstufe auf eine vorbestimmte Temperaturerniedrigung bzw. auf eine vorbestimmte Ausgangstemperatur ausgelegt.The supply of the main cleaning stage and / or the pretreatment stage via heat exchangers represents the simplest design possible. In order to act as a reflux cooler in optimal effectiveness, the heat exchanger of the pretreatment stage is designed for a predetermined temperature reduction or to a predetermined starting temperature.

Schließlich ist eine Umgehungsleitung des Wärmetauschers der Vorbehandlungsstufe sinnvoll, sollte für die Hauptreinigungsstufe eine Energiemenge benötigt werden, die größer als die übliche Energiemenge ist, so dass eine Rücklaufkühlung nicht erforderlich und/oder nicht effizient ist.Finally, a bypass line of the heat exchanger of the pretreatment stage makes sense, should be required for the main cleaning stage, an amount of energy that is greater than the usual amount of energy, so that a return cooling is not required and / or not efficient.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung hier erläutert.An embodiment of the invention will be explained below with reference to the drawing.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein Blockschema einer erfindungsgemäßen Behälterreinigungsanlage 1. Die Behälterreinigungsanlage 1 enthält die üblichen Reinigungs- und Behandlungszonen, wobei aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit hier nur die wesentlichsten Zonen gezeigt sind. Dies sind insbesondere eine Hauptreinigungsstufe 2, in der die Behälter, insbesondere Mehrwegbehälter für den Getränkeverkauf, einer Hauptreinigung unterworfen werden. Die Hauptreinigung erfolgt mittels einer Behandlungsflüssigkeit, insbesondere einer Hauptlauge, mit einer Temperatur von z. B. 80°C. Die Lauge kann als Tauchbad oder in irgendeiner anderen Form mit den Behältern in Kontakt gebracht werden.1 shows a block diagram of a container cleaning installation 1 according to the invention. The container cleaning installation 1 contains the customary cleaning and treatment zones, with only the most essential zones being shown here for reasons of clarity. These are in particular a main cleaning stage 2, in which the containers, in particular returnable containers for beverage sales, are subjected to a main cleaning. The main cleaning is carried out by means of a treatment liquid, in particular a main liquor, with a temperature of z. B. 80 ° C. The liquor may be contacted with the containers as a dip or in some other form.

Der Hauptreinigungsstufe 2 sind eine oder mehrere Vorbehandlungsstufen 3 vorgeschaltet, in denen die Behälter durch Behandlungsflüssigkeit, wie beispielsweise ebenfalls eine Lauge oder einfaches Wasser, vorbehandelt, und zwar wiederum in jeder geeigneten Form, wie beispielsweise Tauchen oder Abspritzen oder Überschwallen oder dgl.. Gleichzeitig sollen die Behälter für die Behandlung in der Hauptreinigungsstufe 2 vorgewärmt werden, so dass Thermospannungen vermieden werden können, die beispielsweise bei Glasbehältern zu einem erhöhten Glasbruch führen, und das Vorbehandlungsergebnis verbessert wird.The main purification stage 2 is preceded by one or more pre-treatment stages 3, in which the containers are pretreated by treatment liquid, such as for example also an alkali or simple water, again in any suitable form, such as dipping or spraying or overflowing or the like the containers are preheated for treatment in the main cleaning stage 2, so that thermal stresses can be avoided, which lead to increased glass breakage, for example in glass containers, and the pretreatment result is improved.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind zwei Vorbehandlungsstufen 3 vorgesehen, und zwar ein Vorweichbad 3a und eine Vorlaugestufe 3b. Die Betriebstemperaturen der beiden Vorbehandlungsstufen 3 sind geringer als in der Hauptbehandlungsstufe 2 und liegen beispielsweise in der Vorbehandlungsstufe 3a bei etwa 40°C und in der Vorbehandlungsstufe 3b bei etwa 65°C.In the illustrated embodiment, two pre-treatment stages 3 are provided, namely a pre-soak 3a and a pre-leaching stage 3b. The operating temperatures of the two pretreatment stages 3 are lower than in the main treatment stage 2 and are for example in the pretreatment stage 3a at about 40 ° C and in the pretreatment stage 3b at about 65 ° C.

Die Behälterreinigungsanlage 1 enthält weiterhin ein Blockheizkraftwerk 4 üblicher Konstruktion, das zumindest die Wärmeenergie für den Betrieb der Behälterreinigung bereitstellt und die Anlage gegebenenfalls auch mit elektrischem Strom versorgt. Das Blockheizkraftwerk 4 ist zu diesem Zweck über einen Wärmekreislauf 5 mit Vor- und Rücklauf 5a, 5b mit der Behälterreinigungsanlage 1 verbunden. In den Wärmekreislauf 5 wird Wasser mit einer Temperatur von z. B. 90°C eingespeist.The container cleaning system 1 further includes a cogeneration unit 4 of conventional construction, which provides at least the heat energy for the operation of the container cleaning and optionally also supplies the system with electrical power. The cogeneration unit 4 is connected for this purpose via a heat circuit 5 with flow and return 5a, 5b with the container cleaning system 1. In the heat cycle 5, water with a temperature of z. B. 90 ° C fed.

Zum Erwärmen bzw. zum Aufrechterhalten der Temperatur der Hauptreinigungsstufe 2 ist die Hauptreinigungsstufe 2 über einen Wärmetauscher 6 mit dem Vorlauf 5a des Wärmekreislaufs 5 verbunden. Der Wärmetauscher 6 kann von jeder beliebigen Konstruktion sein und ist über eine Pumpe 7 und eine Kreislaufleitung 7a mit der Hauptreinigungsstufe 2 verbunden. Die Pumpe 7 fördert die Behandlungsflüssigkeit der Hauptreinigungsstufe 2 aus dem Behandlungsbereich durch den Wärmetauscher 6 und wieder in den Behandlungsbereich zurück. Das Wärmemedium des Wärmekreislaufs 5 wird dadurch auf z. B. 83°C abgekühlt, wobei diese Temperaturverringerung zu gering ist, um vom Blockheizkraftwerk 4 effektiv verarbeitet zu werden.For heating or for maintaining the temperature of the main purification stage 2, the main purification stage 2 is connected via a heat exchanger 6 to the flow 5 a of the heat cycle 5. The heat exchanger 6 may be of any construction and is connected to the main purification stage 2 via a pump 7 and a circulation line 7a. The pump 7 conveys the treatment liquid of the main purification stage 2 from the treatment area through the heat exchanger 6 and back into the treatment area. The heat medium of the heat cycle 5 is characterized on z. B. 83 ° C, this temperature reduction is too low to be effectively processed by the cogeneration unit 4.

Deshalb ist in den Rücklauf 5b des Wärmekreislaufs 5 nach dem ersten Wärmetauscher 6 ein weiterer Wärmetauscher 8 eingeschaltet, der als Rücklaufkühler für das Wärmeträgermedium im Wärmekreislauf 5 wirkt. Als Kühlmittel dienen die kühleren Behandlungsflüssigkeiten in der Vorbehandlungsstufe 3, insbesondere die Behandlungsflüssigkeit der Vorweichlauge in der Vorbehandlungsstufe 3b, die mit ca. 65°C etwas kühler ist als der Rücklauf 5b aus dem ersten Wärmetauscher 6. Auch der Wärmetauscher 8 ist über eine Pumpe 9 und eine Kreislaufleitung 9a mit der Vorbehandlungsstufe 3b verbunden. Auf diese Weise kann der Rücklauf des Wärmeträgermediums aus dem Wärmekreislauf 5 auf einen Bereich zwischen 68°C bis 88°C, insbesondere etwa 70°C gekühlt werden, wobei dies zur Vorlauftemperatur von 90°C einen ausreichenden Temperaturabstand darstellt, wie er vom Blockheizkraftwerk 4 besser verarbeitet werden kann.Therefore, in the return 5b of the heat cycle 5 after the first heat exchanger 6, a further heat exchanger 8 is turned on, which acts as a return cooler for the heat transfer medium in the heat cycle 5. The coolant used are the cooler treatment liquids in the pretreatment stage 3, in particular the treatment liquid of the pre-soak in the pretreatment stage 3 b, which is slightly cooler at about 65 ° C. than the return 5 b from the first heat exchanger 6. The heat exchanger 8 is also connected via a pump 9 and a circulation line 9a connected to the pretreatment stage 3b. In this way, the return of the heat transfer medium from the heat cycle 5 can be cooled to a range between 68 ° C to 88 ° C, especially about 70 ° C, this represents the flow temperature of 90 ° C a sufficient temperature difference, as he from the cogeneration 4 can be processed better.

Der zweite Wärmetauscher 8 wird bevorzugt mit einer Umgehungsleitung 10 gekoppelt, durch die der Rücklauf aus dem ersten Wärmetauscher 6 den zweiten Wärmetauscher 8 umgehen kann, wenn der Rücklauf aus dem ersten Wärmetauscher 6, beispielsweise beim Aufheizen der Hauptreinigungsstufe 2, bereits ausreichend gekühlt wurde, um das Blockheizkraftwerk 4 wirtschaftlich betreiben zu können.The second heat exchanger 8 is preferably coupled to a bypass line 10, through which the return from the first heat exchanger 6, the second heat exchanger 8 can bypass when the return from the first heat exchanger 6, for example when heating the main cleaning stage 2, has already been sufficiently cooled to operate the cogeneration unit 4 economically.

Bevorzugt wird die Pumpe 9 je nach Rücklauftemperatur aus dem ersten Wärmetauscher 6 gesteuert, so dass die Kühlwirkung, die der zweite Wärmetauscher 8 auf das Wärmeträgermedium im Wärmekreislauf 5 ausübt, den Temperaturverhältnissen bzw. dem Wärmebedarf der Hauptreinigungsstufe 2 angepasst werden kann, um dem Blockheizkraftwerk immer Wärmeträgermedium zurückzuführen, das in einem vom Kraftwerk wirtschaftlich verarbeitbaren Temperaturbereich liegt.Preferably, the pump 9 is controlled depending on the return temperature from the first heat exchanger 6, so that the cooling effect exerted by the second heat exchanger 8 on the heat transfer medium in the heat cycle 5, the temperature conditions and the heat demand of Main cleaning stage 2 can be adjusted to always return the cogeneration plant heat transfer medium, which is located in an economically operable by the power plant temperature range.

Eine beispielhafte Behälterreinigungsanlage wird z. B. wie folgt betrieben. Die erste Vorbehandlungsstufe 3a wird mit etwa 40° und die zweite Vorbehandlungsstufe 3b, die Vorwärmlauge mit etwa 65° betrieben, wobei sich in der zweiten Vorbehandlungsstufe 3b 10,3 m3 Vorwärmlauge befinden. Die Hauptreinigung erfolgt bei 80°C, wobei sich in der Hauptreinigungsstufe 56, 24 m3 Lauge befinden. Durch die die Vorbehandlungs- und Hauptreinigungsstufen durchlaufenden Behälter werden beispielsweise aus dem Vorweichbad 3a 308 kW an Wärmeenergie in die Vorlaugestufe 3b verschleppt und aus dieser wird eine Wärmeenergiemenge von 171 kW in die Hauptreinigung verschleppt.An exemplary container cleaning system is z. B. operated as follows. The first pretreatment stage 3a is operated at about 40 ° and the second pretreatment stage 3b, the preheating at about 65 °, wherein in the second pretreatment stage 3b are 10.3 m 3 Vorwärmlauge. The main cleaning takes place at 80 ° C, whereby in the main cleaning stage 56, 24 m 3 lye are. By passing through the pretreatment and main purification stages container 308 kW of heat energy in the pre-leaching stage 3b, for example, from the pre-softening 3a deported and from this a heat energy amount of 171 kW is dragged into the main cleaning.

Der vom Blockheizkraftwerk 4 in den Wärmekreislauf 5 eingespeiste Wärmeträger hat 90°C und wird mit 21 bis 24 m3/h bereitgestellt und verlässt den Wärmekreislauf 5 mit 68 bis 88°C (Mittelwert 70,5°C). Durch den ersten Wärmetauscher 6 wird der Wärmeträger auf 83°C abgekühlt.The heat transfer medium fed into the heating circuit 5 by the combined heat and power unit 4 has 90 ° C. and is provided at 21 to 24 m 3 / h and leaves the heating circuit 5 at 68 to 88 ° C. (mean value 70.5 ° C.). By the first heat exchanger 6, the heat transfer medium is cooled to 83 ° C.

Die Pumpenleistungen der Pumpen 7 und 9 betragen 80 m3/h.The pump capacities of the pumps 7 and 9 are 80 m 3 / h.

Die angegebenen Werte können jedoch je nach Maschinentyp bzw. je nach Art der zu reinigenden Behälter stark schwanken. So kann beispielsweise die Temperatur der Reinigungsflüssigkeit zwischen 58 und 85°C liegen.However, the values given may vary considerably depending on the type of machine or the type of container to be cleaned. For example, the temperature of the cleaning fluid may be between 58 and 85 ° C.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf das beschriebene und gezeichnete Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. So können beispielsweise beide Vorbehandlungsstufen als Rückkühler eingesetzt werden. Die Temperaturbereiche können den entsprechenden und erforderlichen Betriebstemperaturen der Hauptreinigungsstufe bzw. der Vorbehandlungsstufe(n) angepasst werden. Die oben angeführten Temperaturen können schwanken, je nach Typ des eingesetzten Blockheizkraftwerkes bzw. der eingestellten Temperaturen in der Reinigungsanlage.The invention is not limited to the described and illustrated embodiment. Thus, for example, both pretreatment stages can be used as a recooler. The temperature ranges can be adjusted to the corresponding and required operating temperatures of the main purification stage or pretreatment stage (s). The above temperatures may vary, depending on the type of cogeneration plant used or the set temperatures in the cleaning system.
