- a high pressure valve and / or a nozzle must be cleaned after switching off and / or use. To do this, the high-pressure valve and / or nozzle must first be removed and removed from the system. The high-pressure valve and / or nozzle itself is then disassembled and all (valve) parts which have come into contact with the spray liquid must be cleaned, inspected and / or, if necessary, overhauled. In the subsequent complex reassembly of the high-pressure valve and / or nozzle, maintenance work must also be carried out, such as introducing new sealing material and / or new lubrication.
- DE 103 38 064 A1 discloses a method for rinsing a paint valve of a painting system and the feed line from a paint-carrying line to the paint valve. Both the supply line to the paint valve must be depressurized and the outlet of the color change block must be blocked in order to supply the open paint valve for cleaning at a low pressure of less than 1 MPa and thinner and to discharge it backwards through the supply line.
- DE 199 51 956 A1 describes a method for flushing a color change valve arrangement in which a flushing agent and compressed air are alternately passed through the central color channel at a pressure below 1 MPa before a color change. The individual color valves of the color change valve arrangement are not rinsed.

Due to the prompt rinsing, the adherence of stubborn residues is avoided and the cleaning quality is improved. As a result, the quality of the product to be dried is prevented by residues in the high-pressure valve and / or the atomizing nozzle and in the event of product batch changes. [13] In addition, the formation of undesirable, potential sources of flame (hotspots) and the risk of fire and explosion are reduced.
- An essential idea of the invention is based on the fact that by means of a rinsing device, the components of the high-pressure valve and / or the connected atomizer nozzle, which are filled with atomizing liquid and / or the connected atomizing nozzle, are promptly and directly rinsed free of disassembly of the high-pressure valve and / or the atomizing nozzle, so that Faults caused by residues of the atomizing liquid are avoided and the direct integration of the rinsing device into the high-pressure valve enables automatic and quick cleaning and thus quick recommissioning.

- valve inlet A part of the high-pressure valve through which the atomizing liquid enters the interior of the high-pressure valve is referred to as “valve inlet”.
- a valve inlet can be, for example, a screw connection into the valve body, to which a pipeline is connected, which connects the Atomizing liquid continuously feeds the high pressure valve.
- valve outlet is in particular a part of the high-pressure valve through which the atomizing liquid and / or a rinsing liquid leaves the high-pressure valve.
- the valve outlet can also be a screwed connection, for example which can be arranged directly or with an intermediate pipe connection an atomizer nozzle.
- a “fluid connection” is in particular a part of the high-pressure valve, which allows the atomizing liquid to flow through from the valve inlet to the valve outlet.
- the fluid connection can be, for example, a pipeline within the high-pressure valve or a recess in the valve body of the high-pressure valve.
- the fluid connection is used in particular to transport a fluid or several fluids (gas and / or liquid) within the high pressure valve.
- a “piston” refers in particular to a movable component of the high-pressure valve which, together with its surrounding housing, forms a closed cavity, the volume of which changes due to a movement of the piston.
- a piston can be, for example, a round disk, which is immersed in a tubular cylinder as a housing or a recess in the valve body. The respective position of the piston in the housing determines the volume of the cavity.
- “Movable” means that the position of the piston in the housing can be changed.
- the piston can be moved pneumatically, for example, by the action of compressed air on the rear of the piston.
- a “tappet” is in particular a specially shaped rod which represents the closure part of the high-pressure valve.
- the tappet is in particular in the Fluid connection arranged and movable by means of the first movable piston between a closed position in which the fluid connection is not continuous for a fluid, and an open position in which the fluid in the fluid connection can pass around the plunger.
- the specially shaped plunger is moved by means of the movable piston and is thus brought into a position such that a sealing surface of the plunger is pressed against a sealing seat and thus blocks the fluid connection.
- the specially shaped tappet In an "open position" of the tappet, the specially shaped tappet is brought into a position by the first movable piston in which a fluid can flow around the tappet through the fluid connection.
- the atomizing liquid passes from the valve inlet through the Fluid connection past the tappet to the valve outlet and / or to the subsequently connected atomizer nozzle.

- a “flushing liquid” is in particular a liquid with which the high-pressure valve and in particular its parts to which atomizing liquid is rinsed is carried out.
- a flushing liquid can in particular be water or high-purity water.
- a flushing liquid is in particular free of particles and
- the rinsing liquid can have a chemical substance, for example sodium hydroxide solution or nitric acid, and a rinsing liquid can be a so-called CIP solution (Clean In Place), which is particularly specific to the process adapted and enables cleaning without dismantling the high-pressure valve on the surfaces in contact with the atomizing liquid, for this purpose, in particular, the composition of the rinsing liquid, the pressure or the pressure profile used and / or the temperature or the used Te temperature profile and the rinsing time reproducibly defined.
- the rinsing device has a rinsing liquid inlet and / or a check valve. [30] Thus, after the high-pressure valve has been operated, a flushing liquid can be fed in continuously or discontinuously via the flushing liquid inlet.
- the “flushing liquid inlet” can be, for example, a screw connection on which a pipeline and a high-pressure pump for supplying the flushing liquid are arranged.
- the rinsing liquid inlet is preferably in a direct and very short connection to the fluid connection, so that rapid rinsing can be carried out free of larger dead spaces.
- a “non-return valve” is in particular a component which allows a fluid (liquid, gas) to flow in only one direction. This prevents the atomizing liquid from flowing into the rinsing device.
- the rinsing device is arranged on the fluid connection in such a way that the rinsing liquid strikes the plunger perpendicularly to a longitudinal orientation of the plunger.
- the rinsing device is arranged directly on the fluid connection with a very short path, and on the other hand such that the fluid connection and the plunger are rinsed in different positions at the same time. It is particularly advantageous that the rinsing liquid supplied by means of the rinsing device flows directly along the fluid connection or a large part of the fluid connection and thereby strikes the movable plunger perpendicularly. By moving the plunger into different positions between the closed position and the open position, a pulsation of the rinsing liquid around the plunger and in the fluid connection can thus be realized and the rinsing and / or cleaning can thereby be improved.
- the “longitudinal alignment” is in particular the alignment of the tappet in which the tappet has the greatest length.
- the longitudinal alignment of the tappet is therefore in particular the direction of its greatest extent.
- the longitudinal alignment of the tappet particularly coincides with the direction in which or against which the plunger moves due to the movement of the first movable piston.
- the high-pressure valve is set up in such a way that the high-pressure valve is designed for a pressure in a range from 10 MPa to 50 MPa, preferably from 15 MPA to 35 MPa.

- a “ventilation tappet” corresponds to the tappet defined above in terms of its design and movability. However, a ventilation tappet can have the atomizing liquid or the flushing liquid in the fluid connection and a gas flowing around it simultaneously or in succession.
- the “second movable piston” corresponds to the movable piston defined above, the second movable piston, however, being assigned to the ventilation tappet.
- the first movable piston and / or the second movable piston is or are each designed as a double-acting piston.
- a “double-acting piston” (also called “tandem cylinder”) is in particular a piston which has two cylinders or piston disks which are connected to one another and arranged one after the other.
- a double-acting piston in particular due to an increase in the effective piston area, achieves a greater force in spite of the smaller size.
- the ventilation tappet In order to release a residual pressure caused by atomizing liquid, flushing liquid and / or gas in the high-pressure valve after using the high-pressure valve, the ventilation tappet is connected to a pressure outlet.
- the ventilation tappet can be brought into such a position that the pressure outlet is released and a fluid with a residual pressure can leave the high-pressure valve. This increases the safety of the high pressure valve.
- a “pressure outlet” is in particular a part of the high-pressure valve through which a fluid which is in the fluid connection can escape from the interior of the high-pressure valve, as a result of which, in particular, the residual pressure in the high-pressure valve drops to the ambient atmospheric pressure.
- the ventilation tappet is connected to a gas inlet and / or a check valve.
- the downstream process of atomization can be influenced by means of a connected atomizer nozzle are, for example, by adding a gas to the atomizing liquid in the fluid connection via the ventilation plunger.
- a gas is fed into the interior of the high-pressure valve and / or the fluid connection via the gas inlet, so that after rinsing the high-pressure valve any liquid drops that may be present are pressed out of the high-pressure valve and the flushed parts of the high-pressure valve are dried by means of the gas become. This ensures that neither a material to be dried with a high viscosity nor the rinsing liquid remains inside the high-pressure valve, nor that deposits build up.
- a “gas inlet” is in particular a part of the high-pressure valve, via which a gas reaches the interior of the high-pressure valve and / or the ventilation tappet and the fluid connection.
- a gas inlet can be, for example, a push-in fitting.
- the ventilation plunger is shaped such that it has an open position and a closed position with respect to the flow of a gas as well as with respect to the flow of a liquid through the fluid connection, all combinations of the respective open and closed positions being adjustable are.
- the Ventilation tappets are arranged in the fluid connection in a flow direction of the atomizing liquid behind the tappet.
- the atomizing liquid first flows past the tappet in the fluid connection and then past the ventilation tappet.
- the shape of the ventilation plunger is such that the atomizing liquid can flow past the ventilation plunger with respect to a gas even when the ventilation plunger is in the closed position, and thus all possible switching and / or position combinations of the ventilation plunger and the plunger can be realized .
- the “flow direction” is in particular the direction in which the atomizing liquid moves from the valve inlet to the valve outlet or the flushing liquid from the rinsing device and / or the flushing liquid inlet to the valve outlet.
- the high-pressure valve has an inductive sensor or a plurality of inductive sensors such that a position of the first movable piston, the second movable piston, the tappet and / or the ventilation tappet can be determined.
- the position of the first and / or second movable piston, the plunger and / or the ventilation plunger can not only be predetermined, but also in terms of measurement technology by means of an inductive sensor or several inductive sensors are determined and thus checked and / or regulated.
- the inductive sensor or sensors can be connected to a control and / or regulating device of the process plant and used to control and / or regulate the high pressure valve.
- An “inductive sensor” measures in particular the change in an inductance or its quality due to a change in position relative to a conductive and / or ferromagnetic part of the sensor.
- the inductive sensor works with an inductance (open coil) which generates a magnetic field, wherein this is changed by an object, for example the movable piston, so that an angle, path, distance and / or speed can be measured without contact and without wear.
- the object is achieved by a method for cleaning a high-pressure valve, the high-pressure valve being a previously described high-pressure valve, with the following steps:
- This provides a method for rinsing and cleaning a high-pressure valve, which can be carried out directly after the regular operation of the high-pressure valve, without the high-pressure valve first having to be dismantled.
- the method for post-cleaning can be carried out automatically, for example via a system control and / or regulating device.
- a connected atomizer nozzle can be put back into operation promptly after a short after-cleaning of the high-pressure valve and / or the atomizer nozzle and can be integrated into the overall process.
- Drying means in particular the removal of liquid from the high-pressure valve and / or the spray nozzle. Drying in particular dries the liquid-wetted inner parts of the high-pressure valve and / or spray nozzle, a thermal and / or physical conversion of the liquid into the gaseous state takes place.
- a “gas” is in particular air, an inert gas and / or protective gas, such as nitrogen or argon.

- the high pressure pump, not shown, for the external supply of pre-thickened milk to the liquid inlet 105 of the high pressure valve 101 is stopped and the plunger 113 by means of a supply of compressed air at the upper connection 133, the first double-acting piston 111 and the upper compression spring, not shown, into the closed position in terms of the flow of thickened milk so that the liquid inlet 105 is no longer permeable to the pre-thickened milk.
- the high-pressure valve 101 is then depressurized by opening the ventilation tappet 123, the ventilation tappet 123 being moved into the corresponding open position by means of compressed air at the lower connection, not shown, of the second double-acting piston 121 and the lower compression spring, not shown, in FIG the connecting line 109 Thickened milk remaining below the plunger 113 is discharged from the high-pressure valve 101 via the pressure discharge 139, and a pressure relief is thus carried out.
- a rinsing pump (not shown) with a pressure of 15 MPa CIP solution, which has water and 3% by weight sodium hydroxide solution, passes through the water rinsing inlet 117 and the water cartridge 119 of the water rinsing unit 115 around the plunger 113 Connection line 109 supplied. As a result, a corresponding section of the connecting line 109 and the pressure relief 139 are first flushed.
- the ventilation plunger 123 is closed by means of the second double-acting piston 121, so that the pressure relief 139 is closed.
- the connecting line 109, the liquid outlet 107 and the connected spray nozzle (not shown) are now flushed and cleaned.
- the ventilation plunger 123 is moved back and forth slightly about its open position by means of the second double-acting piston 121, so that the CIP solution impresses a pulsation in the connecting line 109 and thereby improves the cleaning performance and cleaning the ventilation plunger 123 itself is achieved.
- the passage 139, the plunger 113, the connecting line 109, the ventilation plunger 123 and the spray nozzle, not shown, are rinsed and cleaned.
- the ventilation plunger 123 is brought into its open position for air by means of the second double-acting piston 121, so that particle-free air with a pressure of 0.6 MPa and a temperature of 40 ° C. through the air inlet 125 and via the check valve 127 around it Ventilation tappet 123 flows and thereby flows into the connecting line 109 and through the liquid outlet 107 to the spray nozzle, not shown.
- the high-pressure valve 101 is operated during the flushing in such a way that first the pressure connection 129 of the plunger 113, then the pressure discharge 139 of the ventilation plunger 123 and subsequently the complete connecting line 109 is flushed with the connected spray nozzle, not shown.
- a step-by-step, multi-stage flushing of the high-pressure valve 101 is thus realized and recontamination during the flushing is prevented.
