Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system and a method for applying a liquid to pasty and porous coating material to a substrate, in particular by means of compressed air-controlled spraying of the coating material, as well as a part of the system which serves to control the promotion of the coating material so that its porosity making Properties are preserved. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of a porous coating material for spray application to a substrate.
- liquid to pasty coating materials which contain highly porous solid particles which are based, for example, on aerogels or xerogels based on silica (silica).
- coating materials may additionally contain gas bubbles which produce a foam-like structure.
- Such solid particles can be obtained by known sol-gel methods and special drying methods and are available commercially and industrially. Due to their large pore volumes of up to more than 90%, they are interesting as insulating materials, in particular for heat, cold or sound insulation. Liquid to pasty coating materials of the aforementioned type are also referred to below as porous coating materials.
- the surfaces to be insulated are coated with the materials, so that the desired insulating effect is achieved, for. B. for roofs, exterior and interior walls of buildings or containers such as containers, tanks, pipelines, Vehicle parts, ship components, plant components of the chemical industry and other industries.
- coating materials are generally done by rolling, trowelling or spraying.
- the coating material is generally supplied from a reservoir via a suitable conduit to a spraying apparatus such as a spray gun, by means of which it is then applied to one or more surfaces (substrate) of an article.
- porous coating materials When using porous coating materials, it has proved to be disadvantageous that the pressures occurring in the conveying of the material in installations which are suitable for the injection-molding of liquid to pasty materials on substrates according to the prior art, are so high that the porous and / or foam-like structure is impaired or even completely destroyed. This is accompanied by a corresponding loss of insulation performance.
- porous coating materials can not be adequately sprayed in systems which are suitable for the spray-applied application of liquid to pasty materials on substrates according to the prior art. The delivery rate is minimal and it comes after a short period of operation to blockages.
- pressure vessel pressure vessel
- the coating material is filled into a container and pressurized with compressed air upon closure, thereby delivering material through an outlet from the container to a conduit connected thereto and devices connected thereto for processing and application of the material to substrates.
- the formation of the funnel or V-shaped space prevents the promotion of the coating material.
- the pressure vessel may be provided with a so-called pressure plate, also called a follower plate, which divides the container into a pressure medium space and a material space.
- a so-called pressure plate also called a follower plate, which divides the container into a pressure medium space and a material space.
- the pressure medium space is pressurized and the pressure plate then presses the coating material uniformly in the direction of the outlet.
- too high pressures occur so that the porous structure is compressed, impaired or destroyed.
- the DE 102 11 331 A1 describes a mechanically applicable sound or heat insulation and a method for applying the same.
- a sprayable thermal insulation is mentioned. It can be used as insulating filler airgel.
- the airgel can be conveyed in dry form by means of propellant air from a conveyor via a transport hose in the form of a so-called thin stream to a spraying device, which is located directly in front of a surface to be coated (application surface).
- a mixer in which the dry airgel mixed with binder and moved in a so-called dense stream on to the spray nozzle and the mixture is then applied under pressure from directly to the spray nozzle supplied compressed air to the application surface. Furthermore, it is mentioned that a ready-processed, airgel-containing insulation material can be provided in containers and processed from the container by machine or by hand, without, however, disclosing details regarding a method or a device therefor.
- the DE 39 16 319 A1 relates to a spray head on a plastering machine for processing mortar.
- the mortar is conveyed by means of a mortar pump.
- the spray head has an air supply, is supplied via the compressed air in the mouth region of the spray head before leakage of the mortar.
- US 4,117,551 relates to a spray gun for applying urethane foam.
- the individual components of the foam are supplied separately from storage containers of the spray gun and mixed within the spray gun and from there to a Substrate applied as a foam.
- the structure of the spray gun is particularly in the FIGS. 2 to 6 shown.
- valve unit for controlling the delivery of a coating material containing porous solid particles formed from airgel or xerogel particles of organic or inorganic materials
- the valve unit has at least one longitudinally extending through the valve unit bore which forms a passageway for transporting the coating material, has at least one lateral bore which forms an inlet for the supply of compressed air, which is optionally mixed with water or aqueous additives, wherein the at least one lateral bore is connected to the longitudinal bore such that the coating material in the passageway with the compressed air can be mixed, and optionally has at least one further lateral bore which forms an inlet for water for cleaning purposes and which is also connected to the longitudinal bore, wherein the lateral bores are each provided with check valves.
- the invention relates to the use of a coating material as defined herein for spray application to a substrate as defined herein.
- the invention relates to a method for the isolation of an article, in which as substrate one or more surfaces of the object to be insulated are coated by the method according to the invention as defined herein.
- the method according to the invention and the system according to the invention comprise further features in addition to the features mentioned in the patent claims.
- the method and the system according to the invention consist of the features disclosed in the patent claims and the present description. The same applies mutatis mutandis to the part of the system according to the invention, which serves to control the promotion of the coating material.
- the system according to the invention does not comprise pumps for conveying the coating material.
- the porous coating material is conveyed by means of compressed air. It is in the valve unit according to the invention, which can also be referred to as a mixing unit, mixed with compressed air and, if necessary, water or water-containing additives.
- the porous structure of the coating material can be obtained.
- the present invention is thus characterized in particular by the advantage that no pumps are used to convey the coating material. Instead, the coating material is conveyed with compressed air and, in particular, in the valve or mixing unit according to the invention with compressed air and, if necessary, water / water-containing Mixed additives before then the coating material is supported by compressed air applied by means of a spraying apparatus on a surface to be coated.

- a Druckregelventil- and Druckmess wornsan Aunt (manometer) 5 for the regulation of compressed air supply
- the corresponding lines 4a , 4b , 6, 7, 8 for compressed air - and coating material promotion includes.
- FIG. 1 is another container for receiving liquid, especially water or water-containing liquids, and a conduit with which the container is connected to the compressed air line 7 , so that the compressed air supplied in the valve unit 3 can be moistened as required.
- the pressure vessel 1 is charged via an inlet with porous coating material.
- the inlet can be formed, for example, by a removable lid of the container, which is closed again after being charged to the container with this pressure.
- the inlet may be in the form of an opening at a suitable location on the container provided with a suitable valve connected to a conduit through which coating material is supplied.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Anlage und ein Verfahren zum Aufbringen eines flüssig bis pastösen und porösen Beschichtungsmaterials auf ein Substrat, insbesondere mittels druckluftgesteuertem Spritzen des Beschichtungsmaterials, sowie einen Teil der Anlage, der zur Steuerung der Förderung des Beschichtungsmaterials dient, so dass seine die Porosität ausmachenden Eigenschaften erhalten bleiben. Ferner betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung die Verwendung eines porösen Beschichtungsmaterials zur spritztechnischen Aufbringung auf ein Substrat.The present invention relates to a system and a method for applying a liquid to pasty and porous coating material to a substrate, in particular by means of compressed air-controlled spraying of the coating material, as well as a part of the system which serves to control the promotion of the coating material so that its porosity making Properties are preserved. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of a porous coating material for spray application to a substrate.
Im Stand der Technik sind flüssige bis pastöse Beschichtungsmaterialien bekannt, die hochporöse Festkörperteilchen enthalten, die beispielsweise auf Aerogelen oder Xerogelen auf Basis von Siliciumdioxid (Silica) beruhen. Zudem können derartige Beschichtungsmaterialien noch zusätzlich Gasblasen enthalten, die eine schaumartige Struktur erzeugen. Derartige Festkörperteilchen können nach an sich bekannten Sol-Gel-Verfahren und speziellen Trocknungsverfahren erhalten werden und sind kommerziell und großtechnisch erhältlich. Auf Grund ihrer großen Porenvolumina von bis zu mehr als 90% sind sie als Isoliermaterialien interessant, insbesondere zur Wärme-, Kälte oder Schallisolierung. Flüssige bis pastöse Beschichtungsmaterialien der vorgenannten Art werden nachstehend auch kurz als poröse Beschichtungsmaterialien bezeichnet.In the prior art, liquid to pasty coating materials are known which contain highly porous solid particles which are based, for example, on aerogels or xerogels based on silica (silica). In addition, such coating materials may additionally contain gas bubbles which produce a foam-like structure. Such solid particles can be obtained by known sol-gel methods and special drying methods and are available commercially and industrially. Due to their large pore volumes of up to more than 90%, they are interesting as insulating materials, in particular for heat, cold or sound insulation. Liquid to pasty coating materials of the aforementioned type are also referred to below as porous coating materials.
Für diesen Zweck werden die zu isolierenden Flächen mit den Materialien beschichtet, so dass die gewünschte Isolierwirkung erzielt wird, z. B. für Dächer, Außen- und Innenwände von Gebäuden oder Behältern wie Containern, Tanks, Rohrleitungen, Fahrzeugteilen, Schiffsbauteilen, Anlagenbauteilen der chemischen Industrie und anderer Industrien.For this purpose, the surfaces to be insulated are coated with the materials, so that the desired insulating effect is achieved, for. B. for roofs, exterior and interior walls of buildings or containers such as containers, tanks, pipelines, Vehicle parts, ship components, plant components of the chemical industry and other industries.
Die Aufbringung von Beschichtungsmaterialien erfolgt im Allgemeinen durch Rollen, Spachteln oder Spritzen. Bei letzterem Verfahren wird das Beschichtungsmaterial im Allgemeinen aus einem Vorratsbehälter über eine geeignete Leitung einer Spritzapparatur wie beispielsweise einer Spritzpistole zugeführt werden, mittels derer es dann auf eine oder mehrere Flächen (Substrat) eines Gegenstands aufgebracht wird.The application of coating materials is generally done by rolling, trowelling or spraying. In the latter method, the coating material is generally supplied from a reservoir via a suitable conduit to a spraying apparatus such as a spray gun, by means of which it is then applied to one or more surfaces (substrate) of an article.
Beim Einsatz von porösen Beschichtungsmaterialien hat es sich als nachteilig erwiesen, dass die bei der Förderung des Materials in Anlagen, die nach dem Stand der Technik zur spritztechnischen Aufbringung von flüssigen bis pastösen Materialien auf Substrate geeignet sind, auftretenden Drücke derart hoch sind, dass die poröse und/oder schaumartige Struktur beeinträchtigt bzw. sogar vollständig zerstört wird. Dies geht mit einem entsprechenden Verlust der Isolierleistung einher. Zudem lassen sich in Anlagen, die nach dem Stand der Technik zur spritztechnischen Aufbringung von flüssigen bis pastösen Materialien auf Substrate geeignet sind, poröse Beschichtungsmaterialien nicht sachgerecht verspritzen. Die Förderleistung ist minimal und es kommt nach kurzer Betriebszeit zu Verstopfungen.When using porous coating materials, it has proved to be disadvantageous that the pressures occurring in the conveying of the material in installations which are suitable for the injection-molding of liquid to pasty materials on substrates according to the prior art, are so high that the porous and / or foam-like structure is impaired or even completely destroyed. This is accompanied by a corresponding loss of insulation performance. In addition, porous coating materials can not be adequately sprayed in systems which are suitable for the spray-applied application of liquid to pasty materials on substrates according to the prior art. The delivery rate is minimal and it comes after a short period of operation to blockages.
So können bei Verwendung von gängigen Pumpenaggregaten zur Förderung eines Beschichtungsmaterials aus einem Vorratsbehälter zum Einlass einer Spritzpistole Drücke im Bereich von 10 bis etwa 180 bar auftreten, und zwar unabhängig vom verwendeten Pumpentyp wie Kolben, Membran, Kreisel-, Schnecken-, Zahnrad- oder Perestaltikpumpen.Thus, when using common pump sets for conveying a coating material from a reservoir to the inlet of a spray gun pressures in the range of 10 to about 180 bar occur, regardless of the pump type used such as pistons, diaphragm, centrifugal, worm, gear or Perestaltikpumpen ,
Ferner sind Druckbehälter (Druckkessel) als Vorratsbehälter und zur Förderung von Beschichtungsmaterial für eine spritztechnische Applikation bekannt. Bei dieser Form der Materialförderung wird das Beschichtungsmaterial in einen Behälter gefüllt und dieser nach Verschließen mit Druckluft beaufschlagt, wodurch das Material über einen Auslass aus dem Behälter in eine damit verbundene Leitung und daran angeschlossene Vorrichtungen zur Verarbeitung und Aufbringung des Materials auf Substrate befördert wird. Dabei erweist es sich als nachteilig, dass sich in dem Druckbehälter nach Druckbeaufschlagung ein Trichter bzw. V-förmiger Raum ausbildet, wodurch das Beschichtungsmaterial an die Behälterwände gedrückt wird, was mit einer unerwünschten Komprimierung und Beschädigung der porösen Struktur verbunden ist. Zudem verhindert die Ausbildung des Trichters bzw. V-förmigen Raumes die Förderung des Beschichtungsmaterials.Furthermore, pressure vessel (pressure vessel) as a reservoir and for the promotion of coating material for an injection molding Application known. In this form of material conveyance, the coating material is filled into a container and pressurized with compressed air upon closure, thereby delivering material through an outlet from the container to a conduit connected thereto and devices connected thereto for processing and application of the material to substrates. It proves to be disadvantageous that forms a funnel or V-shaped space in the pressure vessel after pressurization, whereby the coating material is pressed against the container walls, which is associated with an undesirable compression and damage to the porous structure. In addition, the formation of the funnel or V-shaped space prevents the promotion of the coating material.
Zur Vermeidung dieses Nachteils kann der Druckbehälter mit einer sogenannten Druckplatte, auch Folgeplatte genannt, versehen werden, die den Behälter in einen Druckmittelraum und einen Materialraum unterteilt. Um das Beschichtungsmaterial aus dem Materialraum zu befördern, wird der Druckmittelraum mit Druck beaufschlagt und die Druckplatte drückt das Beschichtungsmaterial dann gleichmäßig in die Richtung des Auslasses. Allerdings treten auch bei dieser Variante noch so hohe Drücke auf, dass die poröse Struktur komprimiert, beeinträchtigt bzw. zerstört wird.To avoid this disadvantage, the pressure vessel may be provided with a so-called pressure plate, also called a follower plate, which divides the container into a pressure medium space and a material space. In order to convey the coating material from the material space, the pressure medium space is pressurized and the pressure plate then presses the coating material uniformly in the direction of the outlet. However, in this variant too high pressures occur so that the porous structure is compressed, impaired or destroyed.
Bislang war daher der Einsatz von Isoliermaterialien des vorstehend genannten Typs vergleichsweise begrenzt bzw. mit den weniger effizienten Aufbringungsarten des Spachtelns oder Rollens verbunden.So far, therefore, the use of insulating materials of the aforementioned type was relatively limited or associated with the less efficient application methods of trowelling or rolling.

In Schritt (a) des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird der Druckbehälter 1 über einen Einlass mit porösem Beschichtungsmaterial beschickt. Der Einlass kann beispielsweise durch einen abnehmbaren Deckel des Behälters gebildet werden, der nach Beschickung des Behälters wieder mit diesem druckfest verschlossen wird. Alternativ kann der Einlass in Form einer Öffnung an einer geeigneten Stelle des Behälters ausgebildet sein, die mit einem geeigneten Ventil versehen ist, das mit einer Leitung verbunden ist, über die Beschichtungsmaterial zugeführt wird.In step (a) of the method according to the invention, the pressure vessel 1 is charged via an inlet with porous coating material. The inlet can be formed, for example, by a removable lid of the container, which is closed again after being charged to the container with this pressure. Alternatively, the inlet may be in the form of an opening at a suitable location on the container provided with a suitable valve connected to a conduit through which coating material is supplied.
Nach Beschickung des Druckbehälters 1 wird das Beschichtungsmaterial gemäß Schritt (b) des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens durch Druckbeaufschlagung über den Auslass 1d (siehe

Erfindungsgemäß kann mehr als ein Druckbehälter verwendet werden und aus diesem gleichzeitig bzw. nacheinander Beschichtungsmaterial entnommen werden. Es sind dann weitere Leitungen und Ventile vorhanden, die die gleichzeitige bzw. nacheinander erfolgende Beförderung des Beschichtungsmaterials aus diesen Behältern regeln.According to the invention more than one pressure vessel can be used and can be removed from this simultaneously or successively coating material. There are then other lines and valves that regulate the simultaneous or successive transport of the coating material from these containers.
Nach Austritt aus dem Druckbehälter und Eintritt in Leitung 4a wird das Beschichtungsmaterial gemäß Schritt (c) des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens durch eine erfindungsgemäße Ventileinheit 3 geleitet. Die Ventileinheit weist eine in Längsrichtung verlaufende Bohrung auf, die einen Durchlasskanal 3a für das Beschichtungsmaterial bildet. Diese ist mit seitlichen Bohrungen 3b und 3c verbunden, die Einlässe für Druckluft bilden, so dass das Beschichtungsmaterial im Durchlasskanal mit der Druckluft vermischt und durch diese verwirbelt wird. Die Einlasse sind mit Rückschlagventilen 3e, 3f versehen.After leaving the pressure vessel and entering
Der Druckluft wird gegebenenfalls eine Flüssigkeit, insbesondere Wasser bzw. wasserhaltige Materialien, zugesetzt sowie gegebenenfalls weitere Zusätze, die dem Beschichtungsmaterial zugesetzt werden sollen und die Druckluft befördert werden können. Dazu wird kann ein geeigneter Vernebler (nicht in Figur 1 gezeigt) verwendet werden.The compressed air is optionally a liquid, in particular water or water-containing materials, added and optionally further additives to be added to the coating material and the compressed air can be transported. For this, a suitable nebulizer (not shown in FIG. 1 ) can be used.
Durch die in der Ventileinheit 3 erfolgende Druckluftzufuhr wird das Beschichtungsmaterial bei der weiteren Förderung durch Leitung 4b zur Spritzapparatur derart aufgelockert, dass eine Beschädigung bzw. Zerstörung der porösen Struktur bzw. der die poröse Struktur des Beschichtungsmaterials ausmachenden Bestandteile vermieden bzw. ausreichend vermindert wird, so dass das Material nach Aufbringung auf ein Substrat als Isoliermaterial geeignet ist.By taking place in the
Im Lichte dieser Offenbarung erkennt der Fachmann in Bezug auf die Länge der Leitungen 4a und 4b, dass diese so auszulegen sind, dass der obige Effekt erzielt wird. Die genauen Längen hängen natürlich von der gesamten Dimensionierung der erfindungsgemäßen Anlage ab. Wie auch in
Nach Durchmischung und gegebenenfalls Befeuchtung bzw. Zusatz weiterer mittels Druckluft förderbarer Materialien in der Ventileinheit 3 wird das Beschichtungsmaterial druckluftgestützt weiter durch Leitung 4b zur Spritzapparatur befördert. Die Leitung 4a, 4b kann ganz oder teilweise aus starrem oder flexiblem druckfestem Material ausgebildet sein.After mixing and, if appropriate, moistening or addition of further materials which can be conveyed by means of compressed air in the
Zum Beispiel kann die Leitung 4a aus Edelstahl bestehen und die Leitung 4b aus einem druckfesten flexiblem Schlauch auf Basis von beispielsweise Polyvinylchlorid. Ferner sind Schläuche auf Basis von Gemischen aus PVC und Silikon geeignet, die insbesondere doppelwandig ausgeführt sind. Die Schlauchmaterialien zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass sie glattwandig sind und keine Feuchtigkeit aufnehmen.For example, the
Beispielsweise wird für die stromabwärts der Ventileinheit angeordnete Leitung 4b, ein von der Firma Petzetakis Deutschland GmbH erhältlicher flexibler Schlauch auf Basis von PVC mit der Handelsbezeichnung Helivyl Buna Super Soft verwendet, der über einen Temperaturbereich von -30°C bis +80°C einsetzbar ist und erforderliche Beständigkeit gegen Witterungseinflüsse (Ozon und UV, Wasser, Säuren, Laugen, Alterungsbeständigkeit) aufweist. Beispielhafte Schlauchlängen betragen 1 bis 50 m, vorzugsweise 10 bis 40 m, z. B. 12 oder 15 bis 20 m.For example, for the downstream of the valve unit arranged
Die Innendurchmesser der Leitungen der erfindungsgemäßen Anlage können im Bereich von einigen mm bis cm liegen, je nach der gesamten Dimensionierung der Anlage. Für die Leitung 4a, 4b zur Beförderung des Beschichtungsmaterials beträgt der Innendurchmesser beispielsweise 10 bis 20 mm. Insbesondere kann ein Schlauch der obigen Art verwendet werden, bei dem der Innendurchmesser 13 mm beträgt.The inner diameter of the lines of the system according to the invention can be in the range of a few mm to cm, depending on the overall dimensioning of the system. For the
Für die Druckluftzufuhr verwendete Leitungen weisen Durchmesser innerhalb der gleichen Größenordnung auf wie vorstehend beschrieben. Insbesondere kann eine Leitung 8 zur Zufuhr von Druckluft zur Spritzapparatur aus einer Leitung wie einem Schlauch mit einem Innendurchmesser im Bereich von 5 bis 20 mm, insbesondere 5 bis 15 mm wie beispielsweise 9 mm bestehen.Cables used for compressed air supply have diameters within the same order of magnitude as described above.

In Schritt (d) des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird das Beschichtungsmaterial in einen Einlass einer Spritzapparatur 2 geleitet, die beispielsweise als Hand- oder Automatikspritzpistole mit einer Düsenanordnung 2a, einem Betätigungshebel 2b und einem Pistolengriff 2c ausgebildet sein kann. Die Spritzapparatur weist einen weiteren Einlass 2d für die Zufuhr von Druckluft auf.In step (d) of the method according to the invention, the coating material is conducted into an inlet of a
In der Spritzapparatur wird die Druckluft dann so mit dem Beschichtungsmaterial in Kontakt gebracht, dass es über die Düsenanordnung 2a zerstäubt und in einem geeigneten Strahl wie einem Flachstrahl oder einem Rundstrahl auf das zu beschichtende Substrat aufgebracht werden kann.In the injection apparatus, the compressed air is then brought into contact with the coating material in such a way that it can be atomized via the nozzle arrangement 2a and applied to the substrate to be coated in a suitable jet such as a flat jet or an omnidirectional jet.
Durch die Druckregelventil- und Manometeranordnung 5 sind die Drücke im Druckbehälter 1, in Beschichtungsmaterialleitung 4a, 4b sowie in den Druckluftleitungen 7 zur Ventileinheit und 8 zur Spritzapparatur getrennt voneinander steuerbar, so dass jeweils die gewünschten Betriebsbedingungen eingestellt werden können.By the pressure control valve and
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren liegen die Arbeitsdrücke im Druckbehälter im Allgemeinen im Bereich zwischen 2 und 5 bar, insbesondere 2 bis 4,5 bar, in der erfindungsgemäßen Ventileinheit im Bereich zwischen 2 und 4 bar, insbesondere 2 bis 3 bar, und in der Spritzapparatur im Bereich von 2 bis 5 bar.In the method according to the invention, the working pressures in the pressure vessel are generally in the range between 2 and 5 bar, in particular 2 to 4.5 bar, in the valve unit according to the invention in the range between 2 and 4 bar, in particular 2 to 3 bar, and in the injection apparatus in Range from 2 to 5 bar.
Je nach Viskosität des Beschichtungsmaterials betragen nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung der Arbeitsdruck im Druckbehälter und der Druck für die zusätzliche Druckluftzufuhr in der erfindungsgemäßen Ventileinheit zwischen 1,5 und 3,0 bar, wobei der Druck für die zusätzliche Druckluftzufuhr gleich oder niedriger als der Arbeitsdruck im Druckbehälter ist.Depending on the viscosity of the coating material according to one embodiment of the invention, the working pressure in the pressure vessel and the pressure for the additional compressed air supply in the valve unit according to the invention between 1.5 and 3.0 bar, the pressure for the additional compressed air supply equal to or lower than the working pressure in Pressure vessel is.
Die Durchflussrate des Beschichtungsmaterials beträgt im Allgemeinen 0,25 bis 10 kg/min., wobei dieser Wert von den in den einzelnen Anlagenbereichen verwendeten Drücken und der Dimensionierung der Düsenanordnung in der Spritzapparatur abhängig ist.The flow rate of the coating material is generally 0.25 to 10 kg / min., Which value depends on the pressures used in the individual plant areas and the dimensioning of the nozzle arrangement in the spraying apparatus.
Bei Zusatz von Flüssigkeit zur Befeuchtung der Druckluft, insbesondere Wasser bzw. wasserhaltiger Flüssigkeit, in der über eine Leitung 7 der Ventileinheit 3 zugeführten Druckluft beträgt der Flüssigkeitsverbrauch bei den obigen Bedingungen etwa 0,05 bis 1 kg/Stunde, wobei dieser Wert ebenfalls von der Dimensionierung der Anlage sowie den in den einzelnen Anlagenbereichen verwendeten Drücken und der Düsenanordnung abhängt.When adding liquid for humidifying the compressed air, in particular water or water-containing liquid, in the compressed air supplied via a line 7 of the
Die beiden folgenden Tabellen geben typische Verbrauchsmengen für Druckluft (in 1/min.) in Spritzapparaturen vom Typ Spritzpistole in Abhängigkeit von der in der Spritzapparatur verwendeten Düsengröße und dem eingestellten Druck an.
Obige Werte sind jedoch auch von der Umgebungstemperatur und den Eigenschaften des Beschichtungsmaterials abhängig und können in Abhängigkeit davon variieren.However, the above values are also dependent on the ambient temperature and the properties of the coating material and may vary depending thereon.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren wird im Allgemeinen bei Raumtemperatur, d. h. in einem Temperaturbereich zwischen 15 und 25°C durchgeführt.

Die seitlichen Bohrungen 3b und 3c sind so angeordnet, dass die Druckluftzufuhr, die Förderung des Materials stromabwärts zur Spritzapparatur unterstützt. Dazu sind die Bohrungen insbesondere in einem Winkel < 90° angeordnet, vorzugsweise in einem Winkel im Bereich von 20 bis 60°, insbesondere 30 bis 50°, wie 35 bis 45°. Bevorzugt sind die seitlichen Bohrungen gegenüberliegend angeordnet. Dadurch wird eine besonders günstige Durchmischung und Auflockerung des Materials erzielt.The lateral bores 3b and 3c are arranged so that the supply of compressed air, the promotion of the material downstream of the injection apparatus supports. For this purpose, the holes are arranged in particular at an angle <90 °, preferably at an angle in the range of 20 to 60 °, in particular 30 to 50 °, such as 35 to 45 °.

Nach Beendigung der Arbeiten wurde die Anlage wie beschrieben mit Wasser gespült und gereinigt.After completion of the work, the system was rinsed with water as described and cleaned.
Ferner wurden geeignete Probenkörper aus dem Beschichtungsmaterial hergestellt und der Wärmedurchgangskoeffizient sowie die Wärmeleitfähigkeit gemessen. Zur Herstellung der Probenkörper wurde das Beschichtungsmaterial auf eine nicht haftende Oberfläche (z. B. aus Teflon) appliziert (nass ca. 12 mm Schichtdicke, trocken ca. 10 mm Schichtdicke). Nach Trocknung wurde die Beschichtung vom Substrat entfernt und es wurden quadratische Prüfkörper mit 29 cm Kantenlänge zugeschnitten.Further, suitable specimens were prepared from the coating material and the heat transfer coefficient and the thermal conductivity were measured. To prepare the specimens, the coating material was applied to a non-adhesive surface (eg made of Teflon) (wet about 12 mm layer thickness, dry about 10 mm layer thickness). After drying, the coating was removed from the substrate and square test specimens with 29 cm edge length were cut.
Der Wärmedurchgangskoeffizient gibt die Wärmemenge an, welche durch 1 m2 eines Stoffes mit einer bestimmten Schichtdicke hindurchgeht, wenn der Temperaturunterschied 1 K beträgt. Dieser Wert ist somit schichtdickenabhängig. Er wurde nach dem in DIN EN 12664 beschriebenen Verfahren gemessen. Danach betrug der Wärmedurchgangskoeffizient bei einer mit einer 10 mm dicken Schicht aus obigem Isoliermaterial beschichteten Probe 4, 7 W/ (m2 x K).The heat transfer coefficient indicates the amount of heat that passes through 1 m 2 of a substance with a certain layer thickness when the temperature difference is 1 K. This value is thus layer thickness-dependent. It was measured according to the method described in DIN EN 12664. Thereafter, the heat transfer coefficient for a sample coated with a 10 mm thick layer of the above insulating material was 4.7 W / (m 2 × K).
Die Wärmeleitfähigkeit ist das Vermögen eines Stoffes, thermische Energie mittels Wärmeleitung in Form von Wärme zu transportieren. Als Stoffkonstante ist dieser Wert von der Schichtdicke unabhängig. Die Wärmeleitfähigkeit der vorstehend genannten Probenschicht betrug 0,046 W/(m2 x K), gemessen nach dem in DIN EN 12664 beschriebenen Verfahren.The thermal conductivity is the ability of a substance to transport thermal energy by means of heat conduction in the form of heat. As a substance constant, this value is independent of the layer thickness. The thermal conductivity of the sample layer mentioned above was 0.046 W / (m 2 × K), measured according to the method described in DIN EN 12664.
