Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a spray dryer comprising an air disperser for a spray dryer, comprising a centre constituting a longitudinal axis defining an axial direction and a radial direction extending substantially perpendicularly to said axial direction, and a wall, a space being defined by the centre and the wall of the air disperser, a plurality of guide vanes being provided in said space, an adjustment device being provided for adjustment of the angular position of the guide vanes about at least one axis parallel to said radial direction, the adjustment device including remote operating means.
  • an air disperser is utilized for introducing the drying air from an air inlet, which may be radial or tangential, into the drying chamber.
  • the air disperser is mounted in the ceiling of the drying chamber.
  • the drying air is brought into contact with the feed, i.e. the liquid being atomized into droplets, by one or more nozzles or other forms of atomizer, such as a rotary atomizer.
  • the drying air enters the drying chamber via the air disperser.
  • it is important to obtain a suitable flow of drying air e.g. to have a more uniform drying of the droplets.
  • it is the purpose of the air disperser to allow for an optimum distribution of drying air in order to obtain a suitable downward flow of drying air in the drying chamber of the spray dryer.
  • perforated plates have been used in such air dispersers in order to avoid turbulence in the air flow and hence to obtain a more uniform distribution of the air (see for example FR 1.289.817 (Niro )).
  • the use of such perforated plates may cause difficulties in respect of keeping the perforated plates clean.
  • the spray dryer is to be used in the food or pharmaceutical industry the sanitary aspects of the production design are very important.
  • a further air disperser is disclosed in Applicant's published international application No. WO 2007/071238 .
  • the design of the air disperser disclosed herein makes it possible to reduce deposits on the inside of the walls of the drying chamber, and the drying capacity as well as the drying economy is markedly improved.
  • the guide vanes distribute the incoming drying air.
  • the guide vanes and the entire air disperser are easy to keep clean and, consequently, such a design is very suitable for use in the food industry as well as in the pharmaceutical industry.
  • the pressure drop in the air disperser is lower than the pressure drop in known air dispersers and, hence, the energy consumption is markedly decreased in comparison to known air dispersers.
  • Prior art air dispersers using guide vanes have the drawback that it is necessary to bring the spray dryer to a standstill in order to adjust the position of the guide vanes in order to optimize a process or to adjust to different processing conditions in dependence of for instance the liquid feed to be atomized, e.g. if changing the product to be dried.
  • Such adjustment, using workforce and tools, is time-consuming and entails long downtimes.
  • the adjustment device of the air disperser By the adjustment device of the air disperser according to the invention, it is possible to introduce and to adjust a flow pattern including a swirling component of the jet or stream of drying air, instead of allowing the drying air to be directed substantially in the axial direction or in a fixed swirling manner.
  • the swirling feature has shown to have a stabilizing effect on the drying process taking place in the spray dryer.
  • the remote actuation of the adjustment device entails that the guide vanes may be inclined, i.e. brought to a suitable angled position, from outside the spray dryer without intervention into the air disperser.
  • the intended flow pattern may be controlled precisely. A particularly robust design is achieved, and furthermore, a particularly flexible operation of the spray dryer is provided.
  • the remote adjustment of the guide vanes may additionally take place about at least one axis parallel to said axial direction.
  • the remote operating means of the adjustment device include a lever extending from a position outside a wall of the spray dryer through a part-circumferential slit in the spray dryer wall, said lever being adapted to be actuated to transfer a rotating movement about the radially extending axis to each of the guide vanes by movement of the lever in the slit.
  • the adjustment device includes a ring-shaped element arranged concentrically relative to said centre and connected to each of the guide vanes. This facilitates adjustment of the entire set of guide vanes, as operation from the outside by means of a single or only a few remote operating means such as for instance a lever. In addition to the eased adjustment, it is also made sure that all guide vanes assume the same inclined position, as all guide vanes are moved simultaneously.
  • the ring-shaped element is secured to an inner ring surrounding the centre.
  • the guide vanes cover substantially most of the radius, i.e. the distance between the centre and the wall.
  • the second portion has a width slightly smaller than that of the first portion. In this manner, it is possible to have the first portion extend throughout the distance between the centre and the wall, and still provide for sufficient room for movement during adjustment.
  • the dimensions of the first portion and the second portion of each guide vane should be optimised relative to each other in order to achieve the flow pattern aimed at.
  • the second portion of the preferred embodiment has the function of directing the swirl to a larger extent than the first portion, the height of the second portion is advantageously larger than that of the first portion, preferably two to five times larger.
  • the dimensions of the second portion itself should be optimised, and preferably, the ratio between the width and the height of the second portion lies in the interval 1:2 to 20:1, preferably1:1 to 4:1.
  • the inclination of the guide vanes of the air disperser may in principle be adjusted to any suitable angle relative to the axial direction in the preferred embodiment, i.e. about a radially extending axis, by means of the remote operating means.
  • the angular position of the guide vanes is adapted to be adjustable within an angle interval of 0 to 45 degrees, preferably 0 to 22 degrees, and most preferably 0 to 15 degrees. Even small inclinations may have a significant effect on the flow pattern.
  • the second portion and the third portion are adapted to be adjusted in mutually opposite directions.
  • a method for adjusting an air disperser comprising the steps according to claim 11.
  • the adjustment of the angular position of the guide vanes is performed in dependence on the liquid feed to be atomized.
  • air disperser any disperser supplied with a drying gas to be used in the spray dryer.
  • air is often used as the drying gas when the liquid to be atomized is an aqueous solution, while an inert gas is more likely used, when the liquid to be atomized is a non-aqueous solution. Consequently, the term “drying air” covers all types of drying gas, which may be used in the spray drying process. Additionally, the term “spray drying” should be interpreted as embracing any process including drying, cooling and conditioning of a feed.
  • the centre 3 may include, in a manner known per se, feeding means leading to atomization means.
  • the air disperser 1 may for instance be mounted above the ceiling of the drying chamber of the spray dryer. Depending on i.a. the size of the drying chamber, there may be more than one, e.g. three, such air dispersers mounted in the ceiling of the drying chamber. Drying air entering the air disperser from the air inlet is directed into a downward flow of drying air into the drying chamber.
  • Other configurations of the air disperser relatively to the drying chamber are conceivable, cf. in this regard Figs 5a to 5c .
  • each guide vane 5 comprises a first portion 51 positioned substantially vertically in the axial direction a and extending between the centre 3 and the wall 4 substantially on the radius between the centre 3 and the wall 4 of the air disperser.

  • a second portion 52 of the guide vane 5 is positioned below, seen in the axial direction, the first portion 51.
  • the second portion 52 has a width, i.e. an extension in the radial direction, which is slightly smaller than that of the first portion, such that the edges facing the centre 3 and the wall 4, respectively, are positioned at a distance from the respective one of centre 3 and wall 4.
  • the height, i.e. the dimension of the second portion 52 in the axial direction is preferably larger than that of the first portion, and may for instance be two to five times larger.
  • the ratio between the width and the height of the second portion may for instance lie in the interval 1:2 to 20:1, and is preferably from 1:1 to 4:1.

  • the second portion 52 may be positioned either to form an angle in the clockwise or the counter-clockwise direction, or in one direction only.

  • the lever 6 When adjustment of the guide vanes 5 is desired, the lever 6 is activated from the outside, i.e. remotely, and moved from its end position in the slit 7 in the clockwise direction. Simultaneously, the second portions 52 of the guide vanes 5 are moved from their initial position corresponding to a substantially vertical position, in which each second portion 52 is substantially paralllel to the first portion 51, to an inclined or angled position corresponding to the distance travelled by the lever 6 in the slit 7.

  • the adjustment device adjustment of the angular position of the guide vanes about an axis or two or more axes, in the preferred embodiment shown parallel to the radial direction is made possible by means of the remote operating means.
  • the remote adjustment may be performed manually according to a scale, but is preferably done by means of a motor automatically adjusting the guide vanes angle setting according to a set value from the spray dryer control system.
  • the flow in the air disperser 1 is thus adjusted in accordance with the angled position of the guide vanes and assumes a different pattern than is the case with fixed guide vanes extending in parallel with the axial direction only.
