- the “WET” flow made up of liquid generally water
- the “DRY” flow is typically made up of fibers (slag wool fibers) and has a very low density.

- the most central circle comprises a nozzle 14 for spraying the LIQUID component.
- the gun has several nozzles 14, in this case 3. In this way, by multiplying the number of nozzles 14, a more powerful WET flow is obtained than that generated by a single nozzle having a large diameter.

- the gun 7 has different diameters ranging from the largest (120 millimeters) towards the rear to the smallest (60 millimeters) towards the front of the mouth. This reduction in the diameter in the direction of the supply of the SEC component produces a venturi effect which makes it possible to increase the speed of the flow 12 of the SEC component and to project the mixture further onto the support, which can be particularly useful when 'we want to project on a relatively high ceiling.
- the gun 7 comprises a nozzle 16 for connection with the water supply pipe to the nozzles 14.

Description
La présente invention concerne le domaine de la construction et plus particulièrement de l'isolation thermique des surfaces. L'invention concerne plus particulièrement le fait d'utiliser un pistolet pour projeter un mélange composé de fibres isolantes telles que de la laine de laitier et de l'eau, le pistolet projetant un cône de liquide en partie centrale et entraînant autour de ce cône, les fibres isolantes.The present invention relates to the field of construction and more particularly to the thermal insulation of surfaces. The invention relates more particularly to the fact of using a gun to project a mixture composed of insulating fibers such as slag wool and water, the gun projecting a cone of liquid in the central part and driving around this cone , insulating fibers.
De nos jours, il est important de bien isoler les bâtiments de contruction, afin par exemple d'obtenir le signe BBC ou « Batiment Basse Consommation ». Une bonne isolation avec l'extérieur garantit à la fois des économies d'énergie en hiver et une certaine fraîcheur en été. Les matériaux isolants utilisés depuis quelques décennies sont à base de laine de verre ou de polystyrène. Ces matériaux forment une couche isolante d'une épaisseur bien régulière produisant un coefficient d'isolation thermique (appelé souvent « R ») dépendant directement de ladite épaisseur. Depuis plusieurs années, les fibres minérales artificielles sont utilisées dans l'industrie et dans le bâtiment pour la fabrication de laines isolantes. Actuellement, les nouvelles tendances écologiques ont incité les professionnels du bâtiment à développer des matériaux de construction écologiques, en utilisant notamment des produits naturels et de moins en moins de produits chimiques.Nowadays, it is important to properly insulate construction buildings, for example in order to obtain the BBC or “Batiment Basse Consommation” sign. Good insulation with the outside guarantees both energy savings in winter and a certain coolness in summer. The insulating materials used for several decades are based on glass wool or polystyrene. These materials form an insulating layer of a very regular thickness producing a thermal insulation coefficient (often called "R") depending directly on said thickness. For several years, artificial mineral fibers have been used in industry and in construction for the manufacture of insulating wools. Currently, new ecological trends have prompted building professionals to develop green building materials, including using natural products and less and less chemicals.
Ces nouveaux matériaux se présentent sous la forme de sacs contenant des fibres compactées pour occuper moins de place lors du stockage. Le flocage consiste à projeter une couche isolante sur les murs ou les plafonds des bâtiments en utilisant un pistolet de projection. Les F. M. A. (accronyme de Fibres Minérales Artificielles) sont généralement constituées d'un mélange, réalisé en usine, de fibres de laine, d'huiles et d'adjuvants à base de gypse (ou autre liant inorganique). Le pistolet permet de mélanger les fibres minérales (FMA) et un liquide de projection sous pression, c'est la raison pour laquelle cette technique de projection est nommée « par voie humide ». Le liquide sous pression permet de projeter le mélange à une certaine distance. En séchant, la couche ainsi produite se solidifie tout en adhérant au support et en assurant ainsi une couche isolante.These new materials come in the form of bags containing compacted fibers to take up less space during storage. Flocking involves spraying an insulating layer on the walls or ceilings of buildings using a spray gun. FMA (acronym for Artificial Mineral Fibers) generally consist of a mixture, produced in the factory, of wool fibers, oils and additives based on gypsum (or other inorganic binder). The gun is used to mix mineral fibers (FMA) and a spraying liquid under pressure, which is why this spraying technique is called "wet". The pressurized liquid allows the mixture to be projected a certain distance. On drying, the layer thus produced solidifies while adhering to the support and thus providing an insulating layer.
Le pistolet de projection à l'extrémité des tuyaux reliés à la machine de projection permet de mélanger au moins les deux constituants suivants : constituant « SEC » et constituant « HUMIDE », les deux constituants sont amenés sous pression.The spray gun at the end of the pipes connected to the spray machine makes it possible to mix at least the following two constituents: “DRY” constituent and “WET” constituent, the two constituents are brought under pressure.
Les caractéristiques de ces flux (flux SEC & flux HUMIDE) peuvent se définir selon deux catégories. Un flux « SEC » constitué de fibres légères et un flux « HUMIDE » constitué de liquide (en général de l'eau). Le flux « HUMIDE » constitué de liquide (en général de l'eau) est d'une densité voisine de celle de l'eau. Le flux «SEC», est typiquement constitué de fibres (fibres de laine de laitier) est d'une densité très faible.The characteristics of these flows (DRY flow & WET flow) can be defined according to two categories. A “DRY” flow made up of light fibers and a “WET” flow made up of liquid (usually water). The “WET” flow made up of liquid (generally water) has a density close to that of water. The “DRY” flow is typically made up of fibers (slag wool fibers) and has a very low density.
La cinématique de ces flux (flux SEC & flux HUMIDE) a, de par leur positionnement géométrique, les caractéristiques suivantes : un flux HUMIDE se mélange et tasse le flux SEC sur le support visé en le saturant de liquide. Le « complexe », ainsi projeté, possède une masse volumique de l'ordre de 280 à 300 kg/m3. Le temps de séchage nécessaire à l'évaporation complète de l'eau peut prendre plusieurs semaines. La masse volumique de la couche isolante ainsi produite est alors de l'ordre de 150 kg/m3.The kinematics of these flows (DRY flow & WET flow) has, by virtue of their geometrical positioning, the following characteristics: a WET flow mixes and settles the DRY flow on the target support by saturating it with liquid. The "complex", thus projected, has a density of the order of 280 to 300 kg / m3. The drying time required for the water to evaporate completely can take several weeks. The density of the insulating layer thus produced is then of the order of 150 kg /
Il est clair que le pistolet de projection est déterminant quant aux caractéristiques de la couche isolante produite, telles que : épaisseur, temps de séchage, capacité isolante. De nos jours, le pistolet de projection comporte au moins deux buses de sortie, l'une pour le constituant SEC et l'autre pour le constituant HUMIDE. Le constituant SEC débouche au milieu du pistolet et le constituant HUMIDE plutôt en périphérie. On a longtemps cru que cette disposition est avantageuse car l'eau sous pression est expulsée en formant un cône qui canalise le constituant SEC et qui l'entraîne vers la surface à isoler. En déplaçant latéralement le pistolet, le cône d'eau mouille d'abord la surface qui reçoit ensuite le constituant SEC, ce qui semblait assurer une bonne adhérence.It is clear that the spray gun is decisive as regards the characteristics of the insulating layer produced, such as: thickness, drying time, insulating capacity. Nowadays, the spray gun has at least two outlet nozzles, one for the DRY component and the other for the WET component. The DRY component emerges in the middle of the gun and the WET component rather at the periphery. It has long been believed that this arrangement is advantageous because the pressurized water is expelled by forming a cone which channels the SEC component and which carries it towards the surface to be isolated. By moving the gun sideways, the water cone first wets the surface which then receives the SEC component, which seemed to ensure good adhesion.
Le déposant de la présente demande s'est aperçu que cette dispositon peut présenter les inconvénients suivants :
- Le fait de disposer de plusieurs buses de projection d'eau tout autour de la buse d'éjection du constituant SEC compacté augmente la consommation de fibres minérales ainsi que la masse volumique du mélange. Cela pose des problèmes lorsque la couche isolante est projetée au plafond du fait qu'elle risque de retomber sur le sol. Pour atteindre une couche d'épaisseur importante, il est souvent nécessaire d'effectuer plusieurs passes.
- Une certaine quantité d'eau ne participe pas au mélange avec le constituant SEC, elle ruisselle sur le mur ou retombe sur le sol. Cela entraine une surconsommation d'eau.
- La couche isolante ainsi projetée est imbibée d'eau, nécessitant ainsi un temps de séchage long.
- Cette disposition a pour effet de trop tasser le constituant SEC compacté, ce qui entraîne une augmentation de la masse volumique de la couche isolante ainsi produite et diminue globalement ses performances isolantes.
- Having several nozzles for spraying water all around the ejection nozzle of the compacted SEC component increases the consumption of mineral fibers as well as the density of the mixture. This causes problems when the insulating layer is projected on the ceiling because it risks falling back. On the ground. To achieve a layer of significant thickness, it is often necessary to make several passes.
- A certain quantity of water does not participate in the mixture with the SEC component, it trickles down the wall or falls on the ground. This leads to overconsumption of water.
- The insulating layer thus projected is soaked in water, thus requiring a long drying time.
- This arrangement has the effect of over-packing the compacted SEC component, which leads to an increase in the density of the insulating layer thus produced and overall decreases its insulating performance.
Il existe donc un réel besoin de concevoir une nouvelle façon de projeter les matériaux isolants sur une surface, afin de résoudre les inconvénients listés ci-dessus. Un tel procédé de projection doit notamment permettre de diminuer la consommation en fibres et de réduire la masse volumique de la couche isolante ainsi produite.There is therefore a real need to design a new way of projecting insulating materials onto a surface, in order to resolve the drawbacks listed above. Such a projection method must in particular make it possible to reduce the consumption of fibers and to reduce the density of the insulating layer thus produced.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, il est proposé un pistolet pour projeter une couche isolante sur un mur ou un plafond d'une construction, comportant au moins une buse centrale expulsant un liquide amené par un tuyau sous pression et produisant un cône de projection, et au moins un orifice d'expulsion d'un matériau de revêtement décompacté acheminé par du gaz sous pression, caractérisé en ce que l'au moins un orifice d'expulsion est positionné autour de la buse centrale pour expulser le matériau de revêtement en périphérie du cône de projection dudit liquide.In a particular embodiment of the invention, there is provided a gun for projecting an insulating layer onto a wall or ceiling of a building, comprising at least one central nozzle expelling a liquid supplied by a pipe under pressure and producing a projection cone, and at least one expulsion port of a decompressed coating material conveyed by pressurized gas, characterized in that the at least one expulsion port is positioned around the central nozzle to expel the material coating on the periphery of the cone of projection of said liquid.
De cette manière, il est possible de diminuer la consommation en fibres minérales et en eau, de réduire la masse volumique de la couche isolante ainsi produite, et de réduire le temps de mise en œuvre et notamment le temps de séchage de cette couche isolante.In this way, it is possible to reduce the consumption of mineral fibers and of water, to reduce the density of the insulating layer thus produced, and to reduce the implementation time and in particular the drying time of this insulating layer.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation, le pistolet peut comporter une bouche de sortie dont le diamètre diminue en direction de la sortie pour créer un effet venturi. De cette manière, le mélange peut être projeter sur une longue distance.According to a first embodiment, the gun may include an outlet mouth whose diameter decreases in the direction of the outlet to create a venturi effect. In this way, the mixture can be thrown over a long distance.
Selon un aude mode de réalisation, la buse centrale est entourée d'une pluralité d'orifices d'expulsion du matériau de revêtement.According to one embodiment, the central nozzle is surrounded by a plurality of orifices for expelling the coating material.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, la forme de la buse centrale est conçue pour créer un cône de projection ayant un angle compris entre 30° et 60°. De cette manière, la projection des fibres sur le support à isoler est plus efficace.According to another embodiment, the shape of the central nozzle is designed to create a projection cone having an angle between 30 ° and 60 °. In this way, the projection of the fibers on the support to be insulated is more efficient.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le gaz sous pression utilisé est choisi dans l'ensemble suivant :air, azote, argon.According to another embodiment, the pressurized gas used is chosen from the following group: air, nitrogen, argon.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le pistolet comporte une vanne pour réguler le débit d'arrivée de liquide et pour faire varier la masse de d'eau projetée. De cette manière, l'opérateur qui tient en main le pistolet peut facilement régler la masse volumique du mélange ainsi projeté.According to another embodiment, the gun comprises a valve for regulating the flow rate of the liquid inlet and for varying the mass of water projected. In this way, the operator holding the gun can easily adjust the density of the mixture thus projected.
Selon un autre aspect, l'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'une couche d'isolation sur des constructions comportant un système de projection doté d'un moyen de transport dans un flux de gaz sous pression d'un matériau fibreux décompacté, d'un moyen de mise en pression d'un liquide de projection et d'un pistolet de projection recevant séparément avant projection ledit matériau fibreux décompacté et ledit liquide de projection, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une étape de projection du liquide sous pression à l'extérieur du pistolet en formant un cône et une étape de mélange du matériau fibreux avec le liquide de projection de pression et de projection en positionnant le matériau fibreux en périphérie dudit cône.According to another aspect, the invention relates to a method of manufacturing an insulating layer on constructions comprising a projection system provided with a means of transport in a flow of gas under pressure of a decompressed fibrous material, d 'a means for pressurizing a spraying liquid and a spray gun receiving separately before spraying said decompressed fibrous material and said spraying liquid, characterized in that it comprises a step of spraying the pressurized liquid at outside the gun by forming a cone and a step of mixing the fibrous material with the pressure spraying and spraying liquid by positioning the fibrous material on the periphery of said cone.

Le gaz utilisé est généralement de l'air mais peut aussi être tout gaz, de l'azote par exemple, dans le cas où certain matériau isolant risque une oxydation prématurée au contact de l'oxygène, des gaz rares de l'argon peuvent aussi être utilisés. Le compresseur d'air est avantageusement intégré dans la centrale mais peut également provenir de tout autre moyen de fourniture d'air sous pression, des bouteilles sous pression par exemple.The gas used is generally air but can also be any gas, nitrogen for example, in the case where certain insulating material risks premature oxidation on contact with oxygen, rare gases of argon can also be used.

L'arrivée d'eau est constituée de préférence d'un tuyau relié à un robinet, selon une variante de réalisation, l'eau peut être aspirée d'un récipient, un container 9 sur roue par exemple. L'eau est ici le liquide le plus fréquemment utilisé, ce qui n'exclut en rien d'autres liquides compatibles avec le matériau projeté et capable en séchant de conférer de la dureté à la couche produite. Le compresseur à eau fournit l'eau sous pression par un tuyau 10 au pistolet de projection 7. Le pistolet de projection réalise le mélange entre le constituant sec founi par le centrale 2 et le liquide fourni par le compresseur 8, et produit un flux de mélange destiné à être projeté sur une surface 11. Cette surface peut être un mur, un plafond ou toute surface plane ou non, d'une contruction.The system also includes a
Un opérateur tient le pistolet de projection en le plaçant devant la surface à recouvrir. La couche devient dure après un certain temps de séchage dépendant de la densité de l'eau à l'intérieur du mélange. La quantité de mélange en m3/heure peut être modulée en faisant varier la pression d'air généré par le compresseur 5 ce qui modifie la quantité de fibres transportées par le tuyau 6 du pistolet de projection 7.An operator holds the spray gun while placing it in front of the surface to be covered. The coating becomes hard after a certain drying time depending on the density of the water inside the mixture. The quantity of mixture in m3 / hour can be modulated by varying the air pressure generated by the
Si une couche épaisse doit être produite, l'opérateur peut passer plusieurs couches, en attendant que la précédente couche soit suffisamment sèche pour supporter la nouvelle.If a thick coat is to be produced, the operator can apply several coats, while waiting for the previous coat to be dry enough to support the new one.

Comme on le voit sur la partie droite, le flux de projection produit comporte des fibres relativement sèches au centre et du liquide en périphérie. Un tel flux comprime le mélange ainsi produit et a tendance à augmenter sa masse volumique une fois sec.As can be seen on the right-hand side, the projection flow produced comprises relatively dry fibers in the center and liquid at the periphery. Such a flow compresses the mixture thus produced and tends to increase its density when dry.
La présente invention consiste à modifier le pistolet de projection pour produire un mélange ayant une masse volumique plus légère, une fois sec. La modification du pistolet de projection permet également de consommer moins d'eau et de ce fait, de raccourcir le temps de séchage du mélange.The present invention is to modify the spray gun to produce a mixture having a lighter density when dry. The modification of the spray gun also makes it possible to consume less water and thus shorten the drying time of the mixture.

La bouche de sortie du constituant SEC se situe tout autour des buses 14. Pour obtenir une plus grande vitesse de projection du constituant SEC, le pistolet 7 comporte différents diamètres allant du plus grand (120 millimètres) vers l'arrière au plus petit (60 millimètres) vers l'avant de la bouche. Cette diminution du diamètre dans le sens de l'amenée du constituant SEC produit un effet venturi qui permet d'augmenter la vitesse du flux 12 de constituant SEC et de projeter plus loin le mélange sur le support, ce qui peut être particulièrement utile lorsque l'on veut projeter sur un plafond relativement haut.The outlet of the SEC component is located all around the
Le pistolet 7 comporte un embout 16 pour le raccordement avec le tuyau d'amenée d'eau sur les buses 14. Cet embout 16 est avantageusement associé à un robinet permettant à un opérateur de diminuer la section d'arrivée d'eau et ainsi de diminuer son débit lors de la projection du mélange. De cette manière, l'opérateur qui tient en main le pistolet peut facilement régler la masse d'eau du mélange ainsi projeté.The

L'utilisation du pistolet de projection selon l'invention a permis de produire un mélange appliqué sur le support avec une masse volumique de l'ordre de 110 Kg/m3. Une telle masse volumique permet pour une couche de 80 millimètres de sécher à cœur en moins de 60 jours. Le séchage intervient plus rapidement et il est possible de passer une seconde couche 24 heures après, lorsque la première n'excède pas 80 à 90 millimètres.The use of the spray gun according to the invention made it possible to produce a mixture applied to the support with a density of the order of 110 kg /
Outre la réalisation d'un nouveau pistolet de projection, l'invention concerne également un procédé de fabrication d'une couche d'isolation sur des constructions comportant un système de projection doté d'un moyen de transport dans un flux de gaz sous pression d'un matériau fibreu, d'un moyen de mise en pression d'un liquide de projection et d'un pistolet de projection recevant séparément avant projection lesdits matériaux fibreux et liquide de projection. Le procédé permet de produire une couche isolante possédant des propriétés particulières et avantageuses telles que :
- diminution de la masse de produit à projeter pour un même niveau d'isolation,
- diminution de la masse volumique du produit sec par un décompactage plus efficace,
- diminution de la masse volumique du mélange projeté,
- diminution du temps nécessaire pour projeter une même surface,
- diminution de la quantité d'eau pour produire un même volume de couche isolante,
- diminution du temps de séchage de la couche isolante, du fait que celle-ci est moins saturée en eau.
- reduction in the mass of product to be sprayed for the same level of insulation,
- reduction in the density of the dry product by more efficient decompaction,
- reduction in the density of the sprayed mixture,
- decrease in the time required to project the same surface,
- decrease in the quantity of water to produce the same volume of insulating layer,
- reduction in the drying time of the insulating layer, due to the fact that it is less saturated with water.
L'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits. En particulier, le constituant SEC peut être tout type de particules capables d'être projetées dans un flux de liquide, et le constituant LIQUIDE peut être tout fluide sous forme liquide capable de générer un flux transportant lesdites particules, lorsque ce fluide est mis sous pression.The invention is not limited to the embodiments which have just been described. In particular, the SEC component can be any type of particles capable of being projected into a liquid flow, and the LIQUID component can be any fluid in liquid form capable of generating a flow transporting said particles, when this fluid is pressurized. .
