- the present invention relates in particular to devices designed to perform such treatment, and to methods for controlling the temperature of volatile emissions produced by such heat treatment devices.
- the present invention relates more particularly to a device for the hot treatment of granular products, such as pebbles or granulates, comprising:
- an enclosure of substantially cylindrical general shape defining a longitudinal axis the enclosure being provided, in the vicinity of one of its two ends, with a main entrance allowing the introduction of granular products into the interior of the enclosure; enclosure, and being provided, in the vicinity of the other end, with an outlet for extracting the granular products from said enclosure, said granular products being intended to undergo a treatment by circulating inside said enclosure since main entrance to the exit in a direction of traffic,
- a heating means which is situated inside said enclosure, and which is designed to generate a drying flow directed against the current of the flow direction, and passing through a drying section of the enclosure, the flow of drying being able to contribute to the drying of said granular products within the drying section,
- a main evacuator of volatile emanations produced inside the enclosure the main evacuator being connected to said enclosure by a first branch, and being designed to evacuate out of the enclosure a main flow of emanations, a derivative evacuator which is connected on the one hand to said enclosure by a second branch at the drying section, upstream of the first branch in consideration of the drying flow to take a stream derived from fumes within said enclosure, the derivative evacuator being connected on the other hand to said main evacuator for transmitting the derived flow to said main evacuator, said derived evacuator being provided with a means for adjusting the flow rate of the derived flow.
- the present invention also relates to a method for regulating the temperature of volatile fumes produced by a device for the hot treatment of granular products, such as pebbles or granulates, comprising:
- an enclosure of substantially cylindrical general shape defining a longitudinal axis the enclosure being provided, in the vicinity of one of its two ends, with a main entrance allowing the introduction of granular products inside the enclosure and being provided, in the vicinity of the other end, with an outlet allowing granular products to be extracted from said enclosure, said granular products being intended to undergo a treatment by circulating inside said enclosure since the main entrance to exit in one direction of traffic,
- a heating means which is situated inside said enclosure, and which is designed to generate a drying flow directed against the current of the flow direction, and passing through a drying section of the enclosure, the flow of drying being able to contribute to the drying of said granular products within the drying section,
- a main evacuator of volatile emanations produced inside the enclosure the main evacuator being connected to said enclosure by a first branch and being designed to evacuate out of the enclosure a main flow of emanations,
- said method comprising a step during which a flux derived from fumes produced inside said enclosure is taken at the drying section, upstream of the first branch in consideration of the drying flow, and in which the flow is transferred to said main evacuator.
- the devices for the hot treatment of granular products, in particular aggregates intended for the manufacture of bituminous products of the asphalt type, are known and generally consist of rotary kilns generally qualified as drying drums, and optionally as coaters.
- the techniques used may be continuous or discontinuous techniques and operate according to a so-called "countercurrent" technique, when the displacement of the heating flow is in opposition relative to the displacement of the aggregates.
- a known treatment device uses a drying oven in the form of a cylindrical body of revolution defining an enclosure having at least one inlet at one of its ends and an outlet at the other end, the furnace drying agent being rotated by any suitable means while the mass of aggregates or pebbles to be treated is introduced through the inlet so as to progress towards the outlet to be treated.
- the rotation of the enclosure thus makes it possible to circulate the aggregates that enter cold and wet through the inlet, towards the other outlet end, while stirring and raising them in the enclosure with the aid of all appropriate means.
- the known treatment device also uses a heating flux produced by a burner providing a flame in the enclosure. The flame produces a flow of hot air which propagates counter-current to the flow direction of the aggregates inside the enclosure, and which allows said aggregates to dry. Fumes are then generated in the heart of the enclosure, and formed in particular by dust from the aggregates, by the water vapor resulting from drying, and by gases generated by the combustion of the heating means. Fumes generally flow in the direction of the hot air flow.
- condensation may form which closes the bag filter, or causes progressive corrosion of the sheath. evacuation.
- the derived channel being designed to take heat at the heating means, it can be difficult to take, insofar as the heating means radiates (for example near the burner flame) to an intensity requiring the implementation of a derived channel specifically designed to resist radiation. In a corollary manner, the maximum heating power of the device is limited by such a design. In a harmful way, the derived channel, by taking heat, is also able to take a part of the oxidizer not burned by the burner, thus altering the quality of the combustion so as to generate polluting and / or toxic substances in the fumes. .
- the channel derived from the known device comprises a closure means designed to limit the heat transfer to the exhaust duct.
- the opening of the closure means is controlled as a function of the flue gas temperature of the exhaust duct, in order to maintain said temperature in a tolerance range between the dew point temperature and a critical temperature Max.
- the amount of aggregates tractable by the device is limited to preserve the integrity of the devices located downstream of the exhaust duct, in the absence of means for cooling the fumes.
- bituminous products from recycling for example recovered during maintenance operations carried out on a roadway
- new aggregates intended to be treated in particular to lower the costs of maintenance.
- production of new bituminous products It is then necessary to provide a more intense heating, such as to overheat the new aggregates so that they themselves communicate heat to products from recycling to dry.
- the drying ability of recycled products is more variable than that of new aggregates because of their origin. Consequently, the temperature of the exhaust fumes is then likely to vary in a large amplitude depending on the nature of the products flowing in the enclosure, and can suddenly cause, undesirably, condensation, or on the contrary overheating in the evacuation duct.
- the objects assigned to the invention therefore aim to remedy the various disadvantages listed above and to propose a new treatment device and a new method for regulating the temperature of emanations of the treatment device in which regulation is particularly easy and free from all constraints, especially design.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a new treatment device and a new method for regulating the emitting temperature of the treatment device for effectively regulating the temperature of the emanations, even in the case where the drying abilities of the products to be treated are very variable.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a new treatment device and a new method for regulating the temperature of fumes of the treatment device whose energy efficiency is particularly high.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a new treatment device and a new process for regulating the emitting temperature of the processing device of simple, robust and inexpensive design.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a new treatment device and a new method for regulating the emitting temperature of the treatment device generating emanations whose temperature is within a range that makes it possible to avoid deterioration of the equipment. located downstream of the production.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a novel treatment device and a new process for regulating the temperature of emanations of the treatment device making it possible to treat granular products with eclectic, new or recycled properties.

- an enclosure of substantially cylindrical general shape defining a longitudinal axis the enclosure being provided, in the vicinity of one of its two ends, with a main entrance allowing the introduction of granular products inside the enclosure; and being provided, in the vicinity of the other end, with an outlet allowing granular products to be extracted from said enclosure, said granular products being intended to undergo a treatment by circulating inside said enclosure since the main entrance to exit in one direction of traffic,
- a heating means which is situated inside said enclosure, and which is designed to generate a drying flow directed against the current of the flow direction, and passing through a drying section of the enclosure, the flow of drying being fit to contribute to the drying of said granular products within the drying section,
- a main evacuator of volatile emanations produced inside the enclosure the main evacuator being connected to said enclosure by a first branch, and being designed to evacuate out of the enclosure a main flow of emanations,
