Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for the heat and mass transfer, in particular for drying thin layers or coatings.
- a device for the heat and mass transfer in particular for drying thin layers or coatings.
- the foreground is the hexagonal geometry of the impact jet nozzles and the effusion openings arranged around it, because in this arrangement a particularly favorable heat transfer coefficient can be achieved with excellent homogeneity.
- the invention relates to a method for the treatment of surface layers, in particular a method for gentle drying of organic (opto) electronic components.
- Impact jets are widely used in industrial production processes where workpieces must be cooled, heated or dried. However, although impact blasting is able to force convective-driven processes, they produce a highly inhomogeneous distribution of heat and mass transfer coefficients.
- Huber and Viskanta are concerned with circular effusion openings in the nozzle plate.
- the arrangement chosen by them corresponds to an equidistant nozzle array with staggered nozzles. They investigate the heat transfer in the vicinity of the central and thus theoretically not influenced by cross-flow nozzle. Their studies show that suction provides a higher degree of homogeneity compared to systems influenced by transverse flow. However, the hole spacing chosen by them with six times the nozzle diameter are relatively large. Despite extraction, this leads to strongly pronounced wall jet areas and thus to extended areas with relatively low heat transfer, which is detrimental to homogeneity.
- a drying device that meets the requirements for coatings in organic electronics must perform a more homogeneous drying work than the drying technologies known in the prior art.
- large-area electronic components having bumps in peripheral zones due to inhomogeneous drying must be cut at these zones, or when the bumps in the film occur and are critical, then these regions can not be used.
- Large-area optical films are thus expensive.
- a device is to be provided which is suitable for drying flat substrates and has good heat and mass transfer coefficients with at the same time homogeneous distribution.
- This device must be particularly suitable for uniformly and efficiently drying sensitive thin layers of organic electronics, so that as little as possible or as little as possible unevenness forms in the layer.
- the present invention achieves the object by the apparatus claimed in claim 1 and the dry hood claimed in claim 5 and the method claimed in claim 7. Preferred embodiments of the devices or of the method are described in the dependent claims.
- the subject of the present invention is a device for the heat and mass transfer to surfaces in impact blast systems with simultaneous extraction via effusion openings embedded in the impact blast field.
- the impact jet nozzles have a hexagonal shape and are distributed regularly and equidistantly over the impact radiation field, so that a lattice-like structure is formed.
- the impact jet nozzles serve to radiate a fluid for the heat and mass transfer to the substrate surface. Between the impact jet nozzles or around the impingement jet nozzles around the effusion openings are arranged, through which the radiated fluid is sucked.
- the effu sion openings are hexagonal arranged around the impingement jet nozzles, so that there is a honeycomb structure of impingement jet nozzles and effusion openings.
- the effusion openings around the impingement jet nozzles are arranged in slot or gap form, which surround the impingement jet nozzles as completely as possible so that the individual impingement jet nozzles are separated from one another by the effusion slots or gaps.
- the individual impingement jet nozzles can be held in position against one another via webs.
- the device for the heat and mass transfer is a drying device.
- This drying device can be used in all processes in which an efficient and homogeneous drying of flat substrates must take place.
- This drying device is ideal for drying organic (polymer) electronics.
- the device according to the invention can likewise be a sublimation, condensation or deposition device in which a substance can be deposited on a substrate from the gas phase or in which a substance sublimes into the gas phase.
- the device according to the invention is also advantageous for these applications since, because of the high heat and mass transfer coefficients and their homogeneous distribution over the impact radiation field, longer residence times of the substrate are achieved
- the invention further relates to a drying hood equipped with a device for the heat and mass transfer according to the above description.
- the hood includes an airtight outer housing, wherein the heat and mass transfer device is disposed at the distal end of this housing.
- the housing also includes ports for exhausting process gas from within this housing.
- at least one connection for pressurizing process gas is arranged under pressure on the housing, which presses the impact jet nozzles of the device at the distal end via a process gas distributor. supplied with process gas.
- the entirety of the process gas connection, process gas distributor and impingement jet nozzles is hermetically separated from the areas of reduced pressure inside the housing.
- the housing interior, so the area of reduced pressure is connected to the effusion openings at the distal end.
- the process gas can be emitted to the outside in the distal direction and the emitted process gas can be sucked from the distal direction into the infusion openings.
- the drying hood according to the invention is advantageous, since thus a movable device, which includes all the advantages of the device for the heat and mass transfer can also be moved in the direction of the components to be dried, in contrast to the assembly line system, in which the component is transported past a drying device. Batch drying with a resting substrate is not possible with other systems.
- the connection of the effusion openings with the connections for sucking off process gas via the inner cavity of the outer housing is directly ensured, thus no further distributor structure is necessary.
- connection of the impingement jet nozzles with the connections for the process gas is ensured via an inner housing, which is hermetically closed in the outer housing.
- the invention also includes a method of treating surface layers on workpieces using one of Devices described above.
- a sheet workpiece (substrate) provided with a surface layer to be treated is brought into contact with the device.
- the bringing into contact does not mean touching the two objects, but that the substrate remains at a certain distance from the device, or is transported past during the continuous assembly line process.
- a volume flow is applied to the surface of the workpiece, at a distance such that the impact jets from the impact jet nozzles reach the surface of the workpiece to be treated and the exhausted fluid, preferably a process gas, is sucked out again by the effusion nozzles.
- this method is a method of drying wet surface layers on workpieces.
- this method is a deposition method for applying substances from the gas phase to a surface layer of a workpiece.
- these deposition methods may also be sublimation or condensation processes.
- This distance is individually defined as required and depends on the size of the nozzle, the configuration of the impingement jet field, the distance between the nozzles, the shape of the nozzles, the fluid flow rate, the substrate to be dried (gentle or rapid drying), the belt speed, temperature, etc.
- the distance should be chosen so that the core jet of the collision jet (region in the free jet which is still unaffected by the Environment is) when hitting the surface of the substrate is still preserved.
- Conveyor belt is transported past the drying device or the drying device is approached in the form of a drying hood the stationary workpiece (batch-wise
- the volume flow can oscillate in such a way that the fluid flows alternately out of the impact jet nozzles and the effusion nozzles and the suction is taken over by the respective other nozzles. This means that there is no longer any fixed allocation between injection and exhaustion. This is because areas under the exhaust have low transition coefficients.
- the oscillation now allows to be homogeneous here on average. If the method is used for deposition processes or condensation or sublimation processes, the oscillation increases the residence time of the mass flow on the substrate.
- Fig. 2 Relative frequency of the heat transfer coefficient at the baffle in a round nozzle field and a honeycomb field.
- FIG. 3 Schematic representation of a drying hood with honeycomb panel.
- Example 1 Distribution of the heat transfer coefficients
- Fig. 1 upper row, the investigated impact beam fields are shown.
- black color the impact jet nozzles are shown, while the effusion openings are highlighted in light gray color.
- the lower row in Fig. 1 represents the corresponding ones
- Fig. 1 a) - c) corresponds to systems of the prior art.
- Fig. 1 a) is a round nozzle field without additional suction
- Fig. 1 b) a round nozzle field with additional suction
- Fig. 1 c corresponds to a slot nozzle field with additional suction.
- the system according to the invention with hexagonal impact jet and effusion nozzles with additional extraction is depicted in FIG. 1 d).
- the existing investigations were carried out by means of CFD simulations and serve the qualitative evaluation of the distributions of the heat transfer coefficient at the impact surface.
- Fig. 1 a The system in Fig. 1 a) does not allow any additional removal of the fluid. Here, the fluid can only escape to the sides. Clearly visible are the interaction effects of the individual impact rays. The rays are deflected and no longer form defined stagnation points. Shown is a system with a very low number of beams. If you increase the expansion for a similar system, the outer beams are completely deflected and a channel flow will form. It follows that this system creates a very inhomogeneous boundary condition for drying systems.
- FIG. 1 d represents the field of the heat and mass transfer coefficient at the baffle plate in the hexagonal nozzle field according to the invention. It can clearly be seen that, although under the chosen conditions, a certain gradient occurs transversely to the belt direction, this is a lot lower gradient in the tape direction brings with it. Of Furthermore, the distribution of the heat transfer coefficient is much more homogeneous than in round or slot nozzle systems.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the homogenization of the distribution on the basis of the representation of the relative frequencies of the heat transfer coefficients over the flowed-on area.
- Fig. 3 a is shown schematically a technical realization of a drying hood using a hexagonal nozzle geometry according to the invention.
- the hood comprises an outer housing 1, on which a device for extracting process gas (suction tube) 2 from the interior of this housing 1 is arranged.
- a device for extracting process gas (suction tube) 2 from the interior of this housing 1 is arranged.
- At the distal end of the outer housing 1 there is an impact radiation field 3 with hexagonal impact jet nozzles 5 and the effusion openings 4, which in this embodiment surround the respective impact jet nozzles 5 in slot form.
- the collision beam field 3 is shown from a distal point of view.
- the hexagonal impact jet openings and the slot-shaped interspaces of the effusion openings 4 are visualized.
- an airtight inner casing 8 serving as a distributor for the process gas from the ports for the process gas 6 to the respective impingement jet nozzles 5.
- This type of feeding of the process gas to the impact jet nozzles 5 through a plenum ensures identical flow conditions for the individual nozzles.
- the process gas can only escape via the impact jet nozzles 5 in the distal direction.
- the impact jet nozzles 5 themselves have an elongated shape and are arranged parallel to each other at a certain distance, so that a gap is created between the individual nozzles.
- this intermediate space In its extension to the distal end, this intermediate space has the function of the effusion openings 4.
- the effusion openings 4 or the intermediate spaces are in direct contact with the area of reduced pressure in the inner cavity 7.
- the length of the impact jet nozzles 5 can be varied via the impact radiation field 3, in such a way that arranged in the middle of the field.
