- FIG. 2 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAINTAINING A CONSTANT BOILING LIQUID LEVEL IN VAPOR SOLVENT DEGREASING OPERATION Filed May 14, 1962 FIG. 2
- This invention relates to apparatus for use in the control of a process for the treatment of metals and other materials with a boiling chlorinated solvent composition. It relates particularly to an improved apparatus for maintaining a boiling treating bath comprising a chlorinated solvent composition at a substantially constant level and composition.
- Chlorinated solvents are the major constituents of a variety of treating baths in which metals and other materials are cleaned, coat-ed or modified by immersion in the boiling bath. Such processes include degreasing and cleaning in which metals, cloth fabrics and other materials are dipped into a substantially pure solvent. Processes in which the material treated is modified include metal conversion coating in which the boiling chlorinated solvent treating bath contains chemical agents, such as phosphoric, chromic and/or oxalic acid in combination with various bath adjuvants. In all of these processes, small amounts of the treat-ing bath are continually removed with the treated materials by drag-out and by diffusion across the interface between the air and the vapor above the boiling bath since the treating vessel must be open for the addition and removal of the various materials to be treated.
- the boiling bath level in the treating vessel drops off and the path composition must be replenished from time to time.
- the level of the treating bath is constantly changing and it is sometimes too low and sometimes too high.
- non-continuous addition of a maintenance solution impairs the uniformity of the treating process since, under these conditions, the concentration of the active treating agents varies between upper and lower extremes and is seldom .at the optimum value.
- the boiling bath of this invention comprises as its major ingredient a chlorinated solvent whose vapors at the boiling point, which is preferably at least about 70 C., have a density at least about three times that of air at the same temperature.
- Other bath constituents are present to the extent of not more than about 10% by weight. These include solvent stabilizers, chemical treating agents and various adjuvants, such as solvents, catalytic activators, etc.
- the vapor level of the boiling bath vapors in the treating vessel is maintained at least one foot above the boiling liquid and is preferably about two to ten feet above this level.
- the conduit leading from the reservoir into the treating vessel should preferably have a diameter ranging from about three quarters of an inch to about one inch although somewhat smaller and larger diameters are acceptable.
- the conduit must lead downward from the reservoir and, though it may proceed on a level for short intervals, must never sink below the level at which the bath is to be kept in the treating vessel or have a reverse upwards curve which would impair the constant feed of solution from reservoir to bath.
- the opening in the reservoir be at the bottom thereof and be located at a point higher than the level at which the boiling bath is to be maintained in the treating vessel. It should also be noted that since it is impossible to support liquid in a reservoir at level equivalent to a hydraulic head greater than atmospheric pressure, there is no advantage in a reservoir positioned higher than compatible with such a liquid level.
- the hydraulic pressure head H in FIGURE 1 should not be more than about 50% of the maximal theoretical value.
- This maximal value in feet can be calculated from the vapor pressure of the bath in millimeters of murcury at the reservoir temperature P and the density of the bath at reservoir temperature D by means of the following formula in which the maximal head in feet equals H
- the figure 760 in this equation is the value for atmospheric pressure in millimeters of mercury and should be replaced by the actual barometer reading for accuracy.
- the figure 13.55 is the density of mercury and the figure 305 is the conversion factor which converts millimeters to feet.
- a value of approximately 2.1 feet is obtained when the bath consists of trichloroethylene at a reservoir temperature of 30 C. when the value for the vapor pressure of trichlorethylene P is mm. and its density is about 1.46. With trichlorethylene at 40 C. when its vapor pressure is 132 mm., the maximal head value would be 19 feet.
- the preferred maximum head value for trichlorethylene at a reservoir temperature of 30 C. to 40 C. would be about 10 feet.
- FIGURE 1 represents a vertical cross section of the apparatus combination of the invention.
- FIGURE 2 is a vertical side view of the apparatus showing a modified form of the combination.
- Both figures show the essential elements of the combination of this invention. These are treating vessel 1 in which the boiling bath is maintained, bath reservoir 16 and the conduit, comprising items 8, 13 and 15, through which the bath composition in the reservoir passes to the treating vessel as required to maintain the boiling bath at a constant level.
- FIGURE 1 shows treating vessel 1 in vertical cross section.
- Boiling treating bath is kept boiling by heating means 6 which may consist of electric heating elements, heating coils for the passage of steam or other hot fluid media, etc. with outlet pipes or power contacts '7. Alternatively these heating means may be replaced by external gas flames or other heating means.
- Heating means 6 which may consist of electric heating elements, heating coils for the passage of steam or other hot fluid media, etc. with outlet pipes or power contacts '7. Alternatively these heating means may be replaced by external gas flames or other heating means.
- cooling means 3 Above the surface of the boiling treating bath are cooling means 3 which may consist of cooling coils as shown with external inlet 4 and outlet 5. These may alternatively be replaced or supplemented by an external cooling jacket.
- Vapor level 12 controlled by the cooling means is normally located 2 to 6 feet above the boiling bath level 20 but may be up 10 feet or more above the bath level in some equipment.
- Trough 2 located below the cooling means is adapted to collect condensed fluid so that it may be removed and separated from trace contamination with water or otherwise purified for recovery. Conduits for removal of condensate from trough 2 and possible return to a point below the surface of the boiling bath are not shown. Presence or absence of a condensate trough system are not an essential part of the subject invention and may or may not be included in the treating vessel.
- Bath reservoir 16 as shown may consist of a drum or tank mounted on a support so its fluid contents 18 are above the level 20 which is to be maintained in the treating vessel 1. It may be held by an independent support 17 as shown in FIGURE 1 or by a supporting arm or frame 20 on the side of the treating vessel 1 as shown in the modified combination in FIGURE 2.
- the conduit for passage of the bath composition from the reservoir to the treating vessel normally consists of pipe with valve 14 leading from the bottom part of the reservoir, pipe 8 with valve 9 leading into the treating vessel at the level to be maintained by the boiling bath and flexible tube 13 connecting pipes 15 and 8.
- the valves are kept open when the invention is in use and are useful for closing off the pipes when the reservoir is not attached to the treating vessel or when the bath has been allowed to cool down at times when the treating process is not in operation.
- the invention is not limited to the specific apparatus shown in the figures but is limited only to the combination of a treating vessel containing a boiling chlorinated solvent bath, reservoir and conduit. Numerous variations in this combination will be readily apparent to anyone skilled in the art. As an example, it should be noted that instead of cutting through the wall of the treating vessel as shown in the figures, the conduit may enter the bath at the top or at any point above the boiling bath level and then proceed downward to the bath level. A pipe entering the bath through the open top can be adjusted to various bath levels when desired and has a flexibility not shown by the apparatus in FIG- URE 1.
- the bath maintenance solution will not contain the same concentration of additives as the boiling bath itself.
- concentration of these agents in a maintenance bath in such cases will be determined by the experimental study of the bath in question and is a function of the rate at which these constituents are lost under operating conditions.
- the preferred chlorinated solvents for use in the bath of this invention are those which have a boiling point at least of about 70 C. and whose boiling vapor has a density of at least three times that of air at the same temperatures.
- solvents include trichloroethylene, perchlorethylene, carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichlorethane and, ethylene dichloride.
- an open-topped treating vessel adapted to contain said bath composition and equipped with heating means, whereby said bath composition may be maintained at a constant boil, and cooling means, whereby boiling bath vapor may be contained as a dense vapor zone extending from directly above said boiling bath to a controlled level well above the predetermined boiling bath level,
- an enclosed reservoir adapted to contain a maintenance composition for said bath composition and having an opening positioned at a low level in said reservoir but above the predetermined boiling bath level in said heating vessel, and
- MORRIS O. WOLK Primary Examiner. vapor level is kept 2 to 10 feet above the boiling bath level. 20 DONALL H. SYLVESTER, Examiner.
