Definitions
- This invention relates to hydrocyclones. More particularly, it relates to a structural unit comprising a plurality of hydrocyclones, which unit is usually termed a multiple hydrocyclone.
- Hydrocyclones are known to be useful in classifying, thickening, and otherwise separating solids suspended in liquids.
- a hydrocyclone is an enclosed vortex space bounded along the length thereof by a continuous surface of revolution with a smooth inner wall, having feed inlet means disposed tangentially either clockwise or counter-clockwise to the surface of revolution at one end thereof as well as having at the same end a base located, axially disposed, discharge outlet or overflow aperture, and having axially disposed at the opposite end of the space a second discharge opening or underflow aperture.
- the vortex space is enclosed by a cylindrical chamber subtended by and opening into without interruption a conical chamber.
- the underflow aperture is usually located at the apex of the conical space and is sometimes referred to as the apex discharge outlet, while the feed inlet means are usually disposed tangentially to the widest part of the space.
- a tubular member is often referred to as a vortex finder.
- a liquid containing solids is introduced into the cylindrical chamber through the tangential feed inlet means under enormous pressures so that the feed slurry whirls about the vortex space producing centrifugal forces so great that the force of gravity is in eifect eliminated. Accordingly, under these conditions, a hydrocyclone may be successfully operated in any position. A fraction of the feed upon introduction into the vortex space is discharged through the base aperture as overflow. As a result of the centrifugal forces and drag forces so developed, there occurs a segregation of the solids within the liquid feed based upon the differences in gravity settling rates in still water.
- one object in general of this invention is to devise a multiple hydrocyclone Without these disadvantages.
- an object of this invention is to devise a multiple hydrocyclone with an increased capacity per unit of space occupied whereby the amount of unused space is minimized and the number of individual hydrocyclones per unit of space is maximized.
- Another object of this invention is to devise a multiple hydrocyclone of such structural simplicity that not only are construction costs minimized but the parts can be made more uniformly and without the requirement of close tolerances.
- this invention comprises a block of material with vortex spaces between opposite ends of the block aligned with respect to their longitudinal axes and separated by the material from each other, each vortex space comprising a cylindrical space subtended by a conical space with a coaxial discharge aperture at its apex, and a specially adapted removable cover member covering the cylindrical portion of each vortex space.
- Each cover member comprises a plate the end adjacent the block being slightly larger than the vortex space, a central discharge outlet disposed through the plate and in axial alignment with the vortex space, a channel-shaped groove extending from and through the side of the plate along the surface of the end adjacent to the block, and adapted to be substantially in tangential alignment with the vortex space when the discharge aperture in the plate is in axial alignment with the vortex space, which groove cooperates with the end surface of the block to form a feed inlet to the hydrocyclones formed by the vortex space and the cover member; Positioning means for maintaining the position of the cover member may also be included.
- the block and cover members in place are disposed between two metal clamping plates having apertures corresponding in position to the vortex space discharge outlets, means for introducing feed slurry to the spaces formed between the clamping plate pressing down on the cover members and the block, means for collecting discharge from the cover member discharge outlets, means for collecting discharge from the apex discharge outlets, and means for clamping the plates together.
- the vortex spaces may be entirely recessed in the block.
- the depth of the delivery section of every feed channel in each. cover member should preferably be gradually diminished in order that when the cover member is in position the feed channel will debouch into the vortex space at a small angle in relation to a plane perpendicular to the axis of the hydrocyclone.
- a portion of the vortex space may be recessed in the plate portion of the cover member. In such case the feed channel can be of constant depth.
- each cover member discharge aperture may be curved and the sidewalls thereof may converge over the vortex space. Furthermore for best operation it is preferred to provide each cover member discharge aperture with a vortex finder.
- cover members be radially symmetrical about the sides thereof with the axis of radial symmetry coinciding with that of the cover member aperture.
- This shape is preferred in order that in operation the common feed chamber formed between the block and the clamping plate will contain no dead areas where liquid suspension containing organic matter may collect and decay.
- the block be also radially symmetrical about the periphery of the infeed end and the underfiow end.
- the feed inlet face away from the overall direction of feed slurry flow over the surface of the block. Since it is a feature of this invention that more than one feed inlet to each vortex space may be easily used, the above preference is satisfied if one feed inlet is faced away from the overall direction of feed slurry flow across the end of the block by proper positioning of the cover member, and that the remainder be spaced equidistantly from the first feed inlet about the infeed end of the cover member.
- Such means may comprise a side wall extension of the cover member, except only for that portion about the feed channel entrance, and interrupted grooves about the vortex space adapted for the corre sponding extension of the sidewalls, the grooves being so located that when the cover member is centrally positioned over the vortex space the overflow aperture is centered on the axis of the vortex space and the feed inlet is facing in the desired direction.
- This invention presents an advantage in that all feed channels may be formed by means of one mold or matrix.
- the block and cover members be molded or cast out of a resilient material in order that operating hydraulic pressures and clamping forces may be most efl'iciently utilized to prevent leakages in and out of the structural unit.
- Feed slurry may be introduced into the space around the cover members by a feed conduit which passes in axial alignment through the common overflow discharge chamber, and into the space through the clamping plate pressing against the cover member.
- An alternative feed slurry means which is desirable under certain conditions, comprises a feed conduit passing through the common underfiow discharge chamber, through the clamping plate separating the chamber from the block, and into an axially aligned hole in the block communicating between the two ends of the block.
- the feed conduit end of the hole is preferably lined about the circumference with a sealing lip of resilient material projecting outwardly and at a small angle from the side of the hole such that when the feed conduit is inserted through the hole the sealing lip will be pressed about the feed conduit by hydraulic pressure under operating conditions.

- the cylindrical block 21 constructed from a resilient rubber material contains three or more concentric rows of vortex spaces 22, the longitudinal axes of which are in parallel alignment with each other and with the cylindrical axis of the block 21.
- Each of the vortex spaces comprises a cylindrical section 23 sub tended by a conical section 24.
- the cylindrical section opens directly onto one end of the block 21, which end shall be referred to hereinafter as the infeed end, while at the apex of the conical section 24 there is an axially aligned passageway 25 referred to as the apex discharge outlet or underflow discharge outlet opening onto the opposite end of the block 21, which end shall be referred to hereinafter as the underflow end.
- each vortex space is capped by a cover member 26 likewise constructed from a resilient rubber material and especially adapted to provide, when in position, a feed slurry conduit 27 extending from the side of the cover member 26 tangentially to the vortex space 22.
- the specially adapted cover member 26, referring to Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6, comprises in somewhat more 'detail a cylindrically shaped plate of diameter larger than the largest diameter of the vortex space 22, with a channel-like groove 28 of constant width extending from and through the side of the cover member 26 along the surface of the end thereof in an arc-like curve towards the axis of the cover member to terminate by a gradual decrease in depth with the outer edge thereof tangentially meeting and running along the edge of the opening of the vortex space 22 when the cover member is in position.
- a feed slurry conduit 27 is formed extending from outside the cover member into the vortex space, one wall thereof consisting of the flat surface 29 of the infeed end of the block 21, and the remaining walls thereof consisting of those of the channel 28.
- FIG 4 wherein the sectional view of the cover member 26 corresponds to that of section 4-4 in Figure 5.
- Axially disposed through the cover member 26 is a vortex space discharge passageway 30 through which vortex finder 31 is tightly inserted and axially aligned.
- the vortex finder is also constructed out of a resilient rubber material. To minimize leakages and to maintain the vortex finder in position, it is desirable to construct the vortex finder 31 with a shoulder 32 at the inlet end thereof.
- each of the cover members is in proper position, and each of the vortex spaces cooperate together to form individual hydrocyclones.
- Such positioning means comprises an interrupted annular groove 33 disposed in the infeed end surface 29 of the block surrounding the vortex space 22, illustrated in Figure 2, and adapted to receive an interrupted or segmental cylindrical wall 34 integral with the cover member 26, the outer face of which is a continuation of the outer cylindrical face of the cover member with the exception of the interrupted or segmented portion and which projects away from the infeed end of the cover member.
- the purpose of interrupting the cylindrical wall 34 is to prevent the cover member 26 from turning about its axis under operative conditions. While this interruption may be located at any place around the cylindrical wall 34, it is preferred that it be disposed about the entrance to the groove 28 as in Figure 3, for ease in molding the cover member 26.
- FIG. 7 Another cover member embodiment of this invention as illustrated in Figures 7, 8, 9, and 10, is advantageous whenit is desired to reduce the distance between the underflow end and the infeed end of the multiple hydrocyclone block without reducing the dimensions of the vortex space or, conversely, where it is desired to increase the length of the vortex spaces without increasing the dimensions of the block.
- part of the vortex space may be formed by a recess in the infeed end of the cover member.
- the cylindrical multiple hydrocyclone block 121 a part only of a cross section being shown here, but which in all other respects is identical to the block 21, contains vortex spaces 122 which comprises a short cylindrical section 123 subtended by a conical section 124.
- each vortex space 122 is capped by the modified cover member 126, which, as shown in Figure 7, comprises a cylindrically shaped plate of diameter larger than the cylindrical section 123 with an axially disposed cylindrically shaped recess 125 having a diameter corresponding to that of the cylindrical section 123.
- cover member 125 when the cover member 125 is in position over the vortex space 122, a cylindrical space 119 of the desired dimensions is formed by the combination of cylindrical section 123 and the recess 120.
- Cover member 126 also comprises a channel-like groove 128 of constant width and constant depth extending from and through the side wall of the cover member along the surface of the end thereof in an arc-like curve towards the cover member axis, the outer wall of which curve tangentially meets the cylindrical wall surrounding the recess 120.
- a feed slurry conduit 127 extending from the space surrounding the cover member to the vortex space is formed, one wall of which is the infeed end surface 129 of the block 1 21 whereas the remaining walls are formed by the channel-like groove 128.
- that portion of the cover member illustrated in Figure 8 corresponds to section S8 in Figure 9.
- cover member 126 has an axially disposed discharge outlet 130 through which there is preferably inserted a vortex finder 131 having a shoulder 132 at the inlet 'end thereof.
- Cover member positioning 'means are provided which comprise an interrupted annular groove 133 concentrically disposed in the infeed end surface 129 of the block about each vortex space 122 and adapted to receive an interrupted cylindrical wall 134 integral with cover member 126, the outer face of which is a continuation of the outer cylindrical face of the cover member with the exception of the interrupted part, and which projects away from the infeed end of the cover member so that when in position the cover member is axially aligned with the vortex space 122.
- the interrupted portion be disposed about the entrance to the groove 128.
- the block 21 in the preferred arrangement is provided with an axially disposed radially symmetrical hole 35 extending from the underflow end of the block 21 to the infeed end.
- This hole comprises the main feed slurry conduit 35.
- cover members 26 are preferably positioned so that the entrances to the feed slurry conduits 28 are facing away from the overall direction of feed slurry flow over the surface'29 of the block. :In the drawings these inlets are therefore shown facing toward the periphery .of the block and away from the central hole 35.
- a pressure sealing lip or collar 36 of a resilient material At the inlet end to the conduit 35 there is provided about the circumference thereof a pressure sealing lip or collar 36 of a resilient material, which sealing lip 36 projects in the overall direction of feed slurry flow.
- This sealing lip 36 is adapted to cooperate with the pipe means inserted therethrough to form under operative conditions a pressure seal whereby leakage of feed slurry from around the pipe means is prevented.
- annular seal ing lip or collar 37 of a resilient material is provided about the periphery of the infeed end of the block 21. This lip for best results should project outwardly at an angle lying between 90 and 180 from the sides of the block 21 so that under operating conditions the pressure of the feed slurry will compress the lip against the housing thereby forming a pressure seal.
- FIG 11 there is shown the complete block 21 of Figure 1 with all of the vortex spaces 22 capped by properly positioned cover members 26, all assembled Within such a housing assembly to furnish an operative multiple hydrocyclone 40. More particularly, the block 21 with cover members 26 in position is mounted between two round metallic clamping plates 41 and 45. Clamping plate 41 is adapted to rest on the discharge ends of the cover members 26 and is provided with apertures 42 corresponding in position to the cover member overflow outlet 30 through which vortex finder 31 protrudes, which apertures are just large enough to admit the protruding end of the vortex finder. About the periphery of the clamping plate 41 and integral therewith is a cylindrical rim 43 which projects away from the block 21 when the plate is in position.
- Clamping plate 45 upon which the underflow end of the block 21 rests is provided with apertures 46 corresponding in position to the apex discharge outlets 25, and with a centrally disposed hole 47 adapted to enable a feed slurry pipe to be passed through it into the central hole 35 of the block.
- the block and cover mem bers mounted between the two clamping plates are then placed within a cup-shaped housing frame 48 provided with an axially disposed feed slurry pipe integral with the frame having a diameter larger than the opening in the block 21 formed in the central hole 35 between sealing lip 36, and of sufiicient length to pass through the clamping plate hole 47 and protrude through the central hole 35.
- a shoulder 50 Projecting inwardly from and around the sides of the frame 48 adjacent the end thereof is a shoulder 50 upon which lies a packing ring 51.
- Underflow discharge conduit 52 is disposed to the underflow chamber 53 formed by the shoulder 50, the end of the housing frame 48, and the clamping plate 45.
- Projecting outwardly at the other end of the frame 48 as an integral part thereof is an annular flange 54 adapted to receive on the inner part thereof a packing ring 55.
- the sides of the frame 48 are of such length that the annular flange 44 rests upon the packing ring 55 While the clamping plate 45 is resting on the cover members 46.
- the remainder of the housing comprises a metallic housing plate 56 with a centrally disposed overflow discharge conduit 57 as an integral part thereof, which plate rests upon the annular flange 44.
- a liquid suspension of solids is introduced under enormous pressure through feed slurry pipe 49 into the central hole 35 in the block from where it flows into the spaces around the cover member 26 formed between the infeed end surface 29 of the block and the clamping plate 41. From these spaces the feed slurry flows through the conduit 27 of each cover member to tangentially enter each vortex space 22 wherein a hydrocyclonic separation of the nature before described occurs whereby a separated portion of the feed slurry is discharged through the apex outlet 25 into the underflow discharge chamber 53 from whence it flows out through discharge pipe 52. The remainder of the feed slurry is discharged from the vortex space 22 through vortex finder 31 into the overflow chamber 61 formed by the clamping plate 41 in cooperation with the housing plate 56. From the overflow chamber 61 the slurry proceeds out through overflow conduit 57.
