- one or more seals can be arranged at the level of the plate 18 to ensure thermal sealing between the outside and the inside of the casing 11.
- a thermal seal can be arranged between at least one of the. strips 21 and the corresponding opening 20 or at each orifice of at least one of the strips 21.
- the electrical supply to the heating elements 17a, 17b comes from a source of electrical energy different from that supplying the screw 10. Consequently, the device 1 comprises the aforementioned first supply means of the device 1. supplying the screw 10 and the second means of supplying the heating elements 17a, 17b which are distinct from the first.
- the device 1 comprises a first member 22 for measuring the temperature inside the casing 11.
- the first member 22 is for example a temperature sensor.
- the first member 22 is arranged to measure a temperature at the outlet of the casing 11.
- the first member 22 is here arranged to measure a temperature at the level of the screw 10 and preferably at the center of the turns of the screw 10.
- the device 1 comprises a second member 23 of the temperature in the walls of the enclosure 11.
- the second member 23 is for example a temperature sensor.
- the second member 23 is arranged to measure a temperature at the level of the inlet 4 of the envelope 11.
- the second member 23 is here arranged to measure a temperature at the level of one of the heating elements 17a, 17b.
- the device 1 comprises a first control unit 24 for the screw 10 which controls at least the electrical power delivered to the screw 10 as a function of the data transmitted by at least the first measuring member 22.
- the first control unit 24 is for example a calculator, a computer, a microprocessor ...
- the screw 10 is thus controlled according to a setpoint temperature (for example 700 degrees Celsius) regulated on the temperature measured by the first measuring member 22 representative of the hottest zone of the screw 10.
- the device 1 comprises a second control unit 25 of the heating elements 17a, 17b which controls at least the electric power delivered to the heating elements 17a, 17b as a function of the data transmitted by at least the second measuring member 23.
- the second control unit 25 is for example a calculator, computer, microprocessor ...
- the second control unit 25 of the heating elements 17a, 17b controls at least the electrical power delivered to the heating elements 17a, 17b as a function of the data transmitted by at least the second measuring member 25 and at least the first measuring member 24.
- the heating elements 17a, 17b are thus controlled according to a setpoint temperature regulated on the temperature measured by the first measuring member 22 representative of the hottest zone of the screw and on the temperature measured by the second measuring member 23 representative of the temperature of the casing 11 at the inlet of the screw 10 is in the least hot zone of the screw 10.
- the various control units 24, 25 are for example arranged in the boxes 3 of the device 1 as well as the different ways of feeding.
- the screw 10 is supplied so that the first supply means are stopped when the temperature of the screw 10 at the outlet of the casing 11 exceeds a set temperature.
- the temperature at the inlet of the casing 11 is also controlled by means of the second measuring member 23: if it drops below a given temperature and the temperature at the outlet of the screw 10 is still not lowered then the second control unit 25 controls the second supply means to drive the supply of the heating elements 17a, 17b. These heat the inlet 4 of the casing 11 so that the casing 11 continues to provide sufficient heating to ensure the thermal treatment of the product and thus prevent its accumulation at the inlet 4 of the casing 11. It is noted that this is is therefore the envelope 11 which in reality contributes to heating the product, the heating elements 17a, 17b content to maintain the envelope 11 at an adequate temperature.
- the first means feed are again controlled to feed the screw 10 while the second feed means are stopped.
- a very good continuous treatment of the product is thus ensured in a simple and efficient manner while avoiding too much stress on the screw 10.
- the heating elements 17a, 17b tend to make the temperature of the screw 10 uniform over its entire length.
- Such a device 1 and method are particularly advantageous in the case where the product introduced into the casing 11 produces little or no residue at the outlet of the casing 11. In fact in this case the product cannot naturally cool the screw 10 and prevent an excessive temperature differential between the inlet and the outlet of the enclosure 2.
- the device may include a number of heating elements other than what has been indicated.
- the heating elements can be arranged differently from what has been indicated.
- at least one heating element can be arranged at least in the ceiling of the envelope or in the bottom of the envelope.
- at least one heating element can be arranged substantially horizontally in the enclosure.
- the element may not be arranged vertically or horizontally but inclined relatively vertically and horizontally.
- the heating element can be arranged inside at least one of the walls of the envelope parallel to the faces of said wall.
- the element may not extend in a straight line.
- the heating elements can be arranged differently in the envelope and for example be distributed over the entire length of the envelope and not only at the start of the envelope.
- the heating elements may also be different from what has been indicated.
- the heating element is a boron nitride heating cartridge
- the heating element may be a magnesia heating cartridge.
- the heating element may also not be a heating cartridge but a heating plate or else a candle.
- the heating element may also not be based on a heating resistor as mentioned above but be for example a pipe through which a hot fluid passes.
- the heating element may be any element making it possible to heat the envelope sufficiently to maintain the temperature of at least the inlet of the enclosure sufficient to ensure the thermal treatment of the product. We can do without the mounting plate of the heating elements or choose a plate shaped differently.
- the heating element and the screw can be supplied by the same electric power source. Consequently, the device may include the same supply means for the screw and the heating elements.
- the device may include the same control unit for the screw and the heating elements.
- the control unit will be based on a control law based on a given temperature from which the heating elements are activated, said temperature corresponding to a percentage of the temperature measured at the outlet of the envelope.
- measuring device it will also be possible to have a different number of measuring device than what has been indicated and / or different measuring devices such as pressure measuring devices, humidity, speed of rotation, presence or absence of residues in envelope input ...
- Each unit will thus be able to control the heating element concerned by means of a different number of measuring devices than what has been indicated.
- the measuring devices can be arranged in places other than what has been indicated.
- the measuring device at the envelope inlet can be arranged to measure the temperature inside the envelope and not inside the walls of the envelope.
- the heating elements can be used to supplement the heating provided by the screw either to have more heating or to limit the electrical power supplied to the screw.
- Heating elements can also be used to initiate the heat treatment. For example, it is possible to start by heating the casing so that heat is diffused inside the casing in a homogeneous manner, the outer walls of the casing being themselves protected by the cover made of thermally insulating material.
- the screw may be different from what has been indicated.
- the screw may have a resistance which varies along the geometric axis of the screw as proposed in patent FR 2995986 of the present applicant.
- the envelope may be formed of a succession of sections optionally nestable within the others.
- the sides, the bottom and the ceiling may be different parts added to one another to form at least one section of the envelope.
- the casing may have a shape other than that described and for example have a section such that the internal part of the casing is rectangular or square and therefore does not have a hollow bottom to match the shape of the screw as in the EP patent. 2 218300.
- the envelope may completely surround the screw to limit a space between the screw and the envelope as in application PCT / EP2019 / 058815 by the present applicant.
- the sides of the casing may be inclined relative to the vertical and to the horizontal (and not straight as what has been indicated).
- the cover may not be a single piece but be made up of several elements fixed together and / or fixed to the envelope and / or fixed to the enclosure. We can get rid of a blanket.
- the product is introduced in the form of divided solids into the chamber, the product may be introduced in another form, for example liquid or even gaseous.
- one or more products can be recovered at the outlet in the form of gas, liquid, oil, solid, etc. The number of inputs and outputs of the enclosure will vary accordingly.
- the device has an inlet chimney allowing air to be introduced in a controlled manner into the enclosure, the product may be introduced into the enclosure via the same fireplace or by another entry fireplace.
- the treatment device can be mounted downstream of a conventional pyrolysis installation so as to treat the tank leaving this pyrolysis to subject it to a post-treatment or else to a device for pre-packaging the product in question.
- a preconditioning device will make it possible, for example, to heat and dry said product to prescribed values of temperature and relative humidity or to densify the product or to humidify the product or to extract the interstitial air therefrom by partial or total melting or else to introduce air in a controlled manner into the chamber so as to accentuate and promote an operation of gasification of the product to be treated.
