Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for applying in each case at least one organic solvent-containing mixtures to a material web.
- the invention further relates to a method for providing a portion of an exhaust gas stream for a catalytic oxidation unit integrated in the apparatus.
- Device and method are generically from the DE 103 57 559 A1 known.
- solvent-containing mixtures such as paints, coatings or plastic mixtures
- solvent it is then usually to evaporation of the solvent, the z. B. to solve paint or paint components or act as a plasticizer.
- the evaporation rate of the solvent depends on various conditions, such as the type of solvent or solvent (s), the solvent temperature, the ambient temperatures, the ventilation intensity or the ambient pressures from.
- the at least one solvent serves, inter alia, to keep the mixture sufficiently liquid to a To allow trouble-free processing and to achieve good adhesion of the mixture on the surface of the material.
- a concentration of the solvents in the applied substance mixtures must be lowered rapidly to the extent that overprinting or winding up of the material web is made possible without blurring of the applied substance mixture.
- the reduction of the solvent concentration is usually carried out by drying the applied substance mixture by the supply of air streams or by irradiation, for example with infrared radiation.
- the drying may include, in addition to a reduction in the solvent concentration contained in the applied mixture, a decomposition or conversion of substances of the mixture. The drying parameters are adjusted to the desired printing speed.
- the air used for drying is loaded after drying with solvent and / or decomposition products and is discharged as exhaust gas flow from the web.
- the indication of a lower explosion limit (LEL) and an upper explosion limit (LEL) in grams of solvent per cubic meter indicates an impermissible value range of the solvent concentration.
- the solvents must be suitably treated so that the exhaust gas flow can be released to the environment in compliance with environmental and occupational safety regulations. Cleaning is usually carried out by a thermal reaction of the solvents contained in the exhaust gas stream or in a portion of the exhaust gas stream.
- a thermal reaction is an oxidative process, which is preferably carried out in the presence of a suitable catalyst. More important here is the relationship between oxygen and pollutant.
- the oxidizable amount of pollutants is determined by the amount of oxygen available. For noble metal catalysts, there must be at least an excess of oxygen of 2%. If metal oxide compounds are used, the excess is at least 12%. With a direct recirculation of the exhaust gas from a catalytic oxidation unit, this means at 12 g / m 3 of ethanol as a pollutant, that at the same total volume flow maximum 80% of the exhaust gas can be recycled and reused.
- the solvent-containing exhaust gas stream can be purified by means of a catalytic post-combustion system, which can be integrated in a flexographic printing machine.
- catalytic afterburning heat energy is released, which is available for heating the exhaust gas before it is fed to the catalytic afterburner (henceforth: catalytic oxidation unit).
- catalytic oxidation unit By heating the exhaust gas stream, an improved efficiency of the catalytic oxidation unit is achieved and at the same time can be dispensed with an additional heating to heat the exhaust stream. Due to the heat energy released, the exhaust gas flow emerging from the catalytic oxidation unit is also heated. This can be used again completely or in part for drying.
- a second portion of the exhaust gas stream (henceforth second exhaust gas stream fraction) is supplied to the catalytic oxidation unit for purification, while a first exhaust gas stream fraction is used again for drying.
- concentration of the at least one solvent in the exhaust stream may be increased, thereby allowing more efficient operation of the catalytic oxidation unit.
- a solvent concentration of the exhaust gas flow is detected and monitored by means of sensors. If a predetermined value is exceeded, a quantity of the exhaust gas flow is supplied to the catalytic oxidation unit as the first exhaust gas flow component to a required extent.
- these printing units can each have drying gas supply lines and exhaust gas discharges, as described in US Pat DE 197 55 812 A1 is described. These can also be controlled individually and as a function of a detected solvent concentration in the exhaust gas flow, whereby an exceeding of a limit value of the solvent concentration can be avoided.
- the possibility of increasing the solvent concentration of the exhaust gas stream by repeatedly supplying the first proportion of exhaust gas flow to the drying is for example, from the DE 31 20 738 A1 known.
- DE 31 20 738 A1 a method for drying printed or coated webs is described.
- the running through drying chambers or covered by drying hoods material web is blown with heated air as a drying gas stream and then sucked off again as exhaust gas stream.
- a first proportion of exhaust gas flow is circulated until a desired solvent concentration is reached and reused for drying.
- the solvent concentration in the first offgas stream portion is increased to about half of the lower explosive limit (50% LEL) before being supplied as a second offgas stream portion to an afterburner without a catalytic thermal conversion or recovery unit.
- a disadvantage of the solutions known from the prior art is that the second proportion of exhaust gas in the range of seconds or less minutes has either periodically or randomly varying solvent concentrations. This also varies the conditions under which a catalyst present in the catalytic oxidation unit is operated. For the efficient use of a catalyst, however, constant operating conditions are advantageous.
- the invention has for its object to propose a way by which an exhaust gas stream containing at least one solvent can be efficiently cleaned for long periods and in the presence of a catalyst.
- the object is to be solved for a device for applying mixtures of substances on a material web.
- the object is achieved by a device for applying substance mixtures containing at least one organic solvent to a material web which has a number of processing heads for applying in each case one substance mixture over the durations of respectively predetermined processing periods to the material web.
- a number of drying devices for Drying of the applied substance mixture by blowing a drying gas flow on the applied substance mixture and sucking the charged with proportions of the solvent drying gas stream as exhaust gas flow, wherein each processing head is associated with a dryer.
- the device has a gas line system, which in turn has in each case a drying gas feed line and an exhaust gas outlet per dryer device.
- the device further comprises an exhaust pipe connecting the drying devices and controllable regulator elements for regulating volume flows in the drying gas supply lines, in the exhaust gas outlets and in the exhaust gas line and for the controlled division of the exhaust gas flow into a first and a second exhaust gas flow component.
- the device has an integrated catalytic oxidation unit for the thermal conversion of the solvent of the second exhaust gas stream component.
- Characteristic of a device is that a control unit is present, by which the control elements are individually controllable and that the control unit is configured such that a control of the control elements for setting a constant concentration of the at least one solvent as working concentration based on a comparison of the values Exhaust gas concentration is carried out with a range of values of a desired working concentration of the second exhaust gas flow component.
- the thermal oxidation unit is provided with a catalyst and is formed as a catalytic oxidation unit.
- Core of the invention is the possibility of the targeted adjustment of a constant concentration of the solvent as working concentration (also referred to as constant working concentration) of the second exhaust gas flow component, whereby this operating parameter of the catalytic oxidation unit is kept stable.
- a constant working concentration is to be understood as meaning a constant concentration of the at least one solvent in the second offgas stream component which does not fluctuate by more than 10% of a target value. It is understood that during the phases of startup and shutdown of the device according to the invention greater fluctuations may occur. If there are several solvents in their respective concentrations in the second exhaust gas stream fraction, the working concentration is understood as meaning a resulting concentration of all the solvents present.
- the working concentration is a desired range of concentration values of the at least one solvent in the second exhaust gas stream portion at which the thermal oxidation unit is operated.
- the thermal oxidation unit preferably works completely autothermally or over partial ranges of the working concentration.
- the working concentration can be freely selected.
- the selected working concentration is kept constant within the framework of technical fluctuations known to the person skilled in the art. In the course of the procedure, a new working concentration can be selected. For these, the above explained applies accordingly.
- a catalytic oxidation unit is understood to mean a device in which, in the presence and with the cooperation of at least one catalyst, the second exhaust gas flow component is thermally converted.
- the working concentration is selected so that a most extensive or complete thermal reaction of the at least one solvent can be carried out by the catalytic oxidation unit. It is particularly advantageous if the technical design of the catalytic oxidation unit and the operating parameters for their operation, for example, the working concentration, the material and the dimensioning of the catalyst and an inlet temperature of the second exhaust gas flow component, are coordinated so that a thermal conversion is exothermic.

- the dividing regulator element 7 is activated such that the second exhaust gas flow component 5.2 is proportionately increased and the first exhaust gas flow component 5.1 is correspondingly reduced proportionally.
- a drying device 2 is actuated by the control unit 12 whose associated processing head 1 does not undergo any processing period at this time. Additional ambient air, which contains no or only minimal amount of solvent, is sucked into the exhaust gas line 3 via this additionally controlled drying device 2 and the concentration of the solvent in the exhaust gas flow 5 is reduced.
- Such a reduction of the concentration can be triggered as a precaution, if the detected concentration of the solvent is already so high that further drying, for example by supplying a further exhaust stream 5 from a further dryer device 2, to exceed the desired working concentration or a maximum allowable concentration would lead.
- Such a future supply of a further exhaust gas stream 5 may be known since the control unit 12, the predetermined processing periods of the individual processing heads 1 are available and thus a predictive control of the concentration ratios in the device is possible.
- the admixing of ambient air to the exhaust gas stream 5 takes place in such quantities that the second exhaust gas stream component 5.2 has the desired working concentration.
- the temperature of the second exhaust gas flow component 5.2 is detected by means of a sensor 11 and compared with a desired temperature.
- the desired temperature is in a range over which the catalyst of the catalytic oxidation unit 8 operates particularly effectively. If the temperature of the second exhaust gas flow component 5.2 is too low, the control element 7, by which the second exhaust gas flow component 5.2 can be fed to the heat exchanger 9, is controlled by the control unit 12 and the second exhaust gas flow component 5.2 is fed to the heat exchanger 9. In this, the desired temperature of the second exhaust gas flow component 5.2 is set. If the desired temperature of the second exhaust gas flow component 5.2 can not be adjusted by means of the heat exchanger 9 alone, the heating element 14 of the heat exchanger 9 is additionally activated and the second exhaust gas flow component 5.2 is heated accordingly.
- the second exhaust gas flow component 5.2 is thermally converted and the heat energy thereby obtained is used to heat the first and second exhaust gas flow components 5.1 and 5.2 by means of the heat exchanger 9.
- a general model for regulating the O 2 content in the database 19 is stored before the device is put into operation, which is repeatedly retrievable by the control unit 18.
- the device is subjected to different operating conditions during a trial operation.
- various parameters such as the solvent concentration, the speed of the fan 4, the achieved working concentration, the O 2 content, temperatures, flow velocities and flow rates, recorded and stored in the form of data sets in the database 19.
- the general model is individually adapted to the specific device and individual models are stored in the database 19. Based on the datasets and individual models, simulations are also performed for scenarios that were not actually tested during trial operation. These simulations are Extrapolations of the local / temporal development of acquired data series and / or the derivation (here also subsumed under the concept of extrapolation) of fictitious data series and fictitious data sets.
- Both the general model and the individual models are designed in such a way that unwanted overshoots and undershoots of limit values of predetermined parameters are canceled out by control commands of the control unit 18.
- the simulations are used to adapt the individual models such that predicted overshoots and undershoots of limit values do not occur at all.
- collected data series and data records are searched for distinctive data series or striking data records. If such distinctive data series or distinctive data records are found, an individual model is selected which is assigned to these distinctive data series or distinctive data records. If several individual models are associated with the identified distinctive data series or striking data records, the individual model is selected on the basis of the criterion of the greatest correspondence (similarity) of the data with the individual models available for selection.
- the response of the device is again detected and used as a record for adapting the general model or for adapting the individual model used for the control.
- the control of parameters such as the O 2 content is not based on the general model and only when an actual overrun or undercut a threshold, but it will be timely and taking into account the individual reaction (eg inertia) of concrete Device on the basis of a selected individual model control commands given by the control unit 18 to the corresponding controller elements 7.
- a temperature offset of 20 K is expected.
- the LEL of ethanol is 60 g / Nm 3 , so 50% of the LEL corresponds to 30 g / Nm 3 or to an offset of 600 K.
- the concentration of the solvent was raised to less than half of the LEL (12 g or 20% LEL).
- the available oxidation energy is sufficient for use in catalysis and drying.
- the system is designed to be autothermic at 0.5 g / Nm 3 .
