It is believed that the maine tenanee-of strong. gas suctionadespite wide :vari-.. ations in liquid level is related in some waywta a redistribution of liquid flow, betweemthetop and bottom oL-the imp l er Pl sthe;.esta.b11shment within the impeller of more definite or localized outwardly moving streams of liquid which more eifectively move the gas outwardly as it is drawn into the center of the impeller. However, this does not seem to be a complete explanation as similar results did not follow from other structural changes which would similarly affect the liquid fiow in the impeller.
Fig. 1 is a partly diagrammatical vertical section showing illustrative apparatus embodying the present invention, the section being taken approximately on the line l-I of Fig. 2.
Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken in general on the line 2-2 of Fig. l, a portion of the hood being broken away to expose the construction beneath it.
Fig. 3 is a vertical section showing the impeller only, the section being taken approximately on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
A tank I, adapted to contain the liquid to be processed, is provided with a suitable valved inlet and outlet pipe 2 and with an overflow pipe 3. A plurality of rods 6 (four shown) depend from a superstructure (not shown) and suspend a stationary flow controlling structure designated as a whole by 1. A depending vertical shaft 9 carries and supports a rotary impeller designated as a whole by ID. Surrounding the shaft 9 is a gas conduit I9 through which gas is adapted to be inducted. The support and motor drive for shaft and the support for gas conduit I9 and rods 6 may be of any suitable type as, for example, that disclosed in my prior Patent 1,976,956.
Thestationary structure 1 comprises a hood member or ring i2 shaped much like the outer portion of an ordinary tin wash basin turned upside down. The hood member l2 may be cast of metal and integral with it there may be formed curved deflecting blades i3 which extend vertically downwardly from the hood M. The hood may be provided with apertured bosses i4 (four shown) adapted to receive and be clamped to the rods 8 to support the stationary structure 1 and to provide for its accurate vertical location with respect to the impeller. The hood may also be cast with bosses 4, 4, which are used only in cases where it is desired to sever the hood ring along line 8, 8 so that the halves can be inserted into a tank through a relatively small manhole. In these cases, the bosses I, 4 are drilled and tapped to receive bolts for clamping the two halves of the hood ring together. The hood i2 is provided with a central hole I6 which surorunds the bottom of conduit l9, thereby providing an annular liquid inlet port H.
In operation the tank is filled with liquid to be'treated (e. g. vegetable oil) to a depth which will completely submerge the structure 1, giving a liquid level such as that illustrated by line 15.
When the impeller is rotated, it draws liquid up-- wardly from the bottom and also draws liquid downwardly from the top through annular port ii. The flow of liquid through the impeller creates a low pressure zone adjacent the hub of the impeller. Thus, gas is drawn through conduit I! and is entrained with the liquid so that the impeller blades 29 cause streams of mixed gas and liquid to flow outwardly in a substantially horizontal direction to strike deflector blades i3 and be projected downwardly by hood ii. The main paths of circulation are as indicated by arrows A, C, and the auxiliary paths as indicated by arrows A, B.
The impeller shown is of the forward discharge type and in accordance with the present invention the blades 29 are provided with trailing horizontal fins 30. These fins are preferably on the ,lower edges of the blades, and I prefer to have 30 act, as previously pointed out, to give the apparatus more uniform performance, particularly with respect to the gas suction effect occurring throughout a variation of liquid level in the tank.
Also more uniform motor loading, and better overall performance thereby results.
The term impeller as used herein means a rotating device which draws in liquid along lines of fiow substantially parallel to the axis of rotation and discharges the major portion of the liquid in planes substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
Various arrangements and proportions of the fins 30 will produce the desired result in varying degrees but the drawings show the best proportions and arrangement which is now known to me.
I claim:
1. In apparatus for treating liquid with gases of the type in which streams of liquid and gas enter a rotary impeller and are discharged by the impeller for circulation in a tank, the major portion of the discharge being in planes substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation; the improvement which comprises: blades of the impeller being provided with trailing fins which occupy approximately 30% of the area between the blades.
