PRIMARY HOT MR SOT-GOD'S SECONDARY HOT AIR I50C comm 20-0 (1 PATENTED JUL 2 2 I975 4 sownou PRIMARY nor AIR sow-some A SECONDARY HOT AIR 150's 8 E CODLAIR 20% C ,2 CYCLONE SPRAY DRYER Spray dryer comprising a drying cylinder provided at one end with a spray nozzle and hot primary air injecting tube surrounding said nozzle has been known.
ln such a spray dryer, the products tend to deposit on the cylinder wall and recycle into the high temperature zone. In order to do away with such defects, various methods have been devised, but they all failed. One of the most commonly employed methods is the introduction of the hot secondary air concurrently to the main flow, but it is not so successful as expected.
While the inventors of this invention were investigating this problem, they had accidentarilly discovered the solution. According to this, the above mentioned defects may be effectively overcome by introducing tangential air currents from the inlets arranged arround the discharge end of the cylinder. Within the cylinder, said air currents spirally flow along the cylinder wall and envelope completely the main flow consisting of the particles and hot primary air whereby the deposit of the products on the cylinder wall may be completely avoided. As said air currents fill the vacant space adjacent the spray zone the back eddying of the particle may also be effectively avoided.
Finally, said spiral air currents turn their courses and flow back to the discharge end of the cylinder together with the main flow.
The above mentioned function of the spiral air currents were observed through peep holes provided in the cylinder wall with the introduction of paper strips.
lt is to be noted that not whole of the said countercurrents follow the above mentioned courses, but small portion of said countercurrents flows back to the discharge end of the cylinder together with the main flow before reaching the spray zone.
The substance of this invention will become apparent as this description proceeds in conjunction with the accompanying drawing which shows a cross sectional view of the spray dryer according to this invention.
1 is drying cylinder. 4 is tube for supplying the solution or suspension of the material to be dried such as fruit juice. 5 is tube for blowing hot primary air with great speed. Said tube surrounds the tube 4 so as to pulverrize the feed from the tube 4. While flowing through the cylinder 1, particles are dried through intimately mixing with hot air. The completely dried products and remaining air are finally led to the cyclone 2 where they are separated from each other.
In such a spray dryer, some of the particles tends to deposit on the cylinder wall and is overheated there whereby scorching of the particles will result. Further, some of the particles tends to back eddy into the high temperature zone whereby clogging of the spray nozzle often results. In order to overcome said defects, it has been devised to introduce a large amount of hot secondary air to the spraying zone through tube 6, but this method is not so effective as expected.
However, by adopting the method according to this invention, tangential air currents are introduced from the bustle duct 3 into the drying cylinder 1 through inlets 7,7',7 arranged around the discharge end of said cylinder.
Said countercurrents flow spirally along the cylinder wall toward the spray zone while completely envelope the main flow F consisting of the particles and primary air whereby the deposit of particles on the cylinder wall may be effectively avoided.
After said spiral air currents fill the vacant space near the spray zone, they flow back to the discharge end of the cylinder together with the main flow F. In virtue of this action, the back eddying of the products into the high temperature zone may also be avoided.
It is to be noted not whole of the spiral air currents follow the above mentioned courses, but small portion thereof flows back to the discharge end of the cylinder together with the main flow F as shown by arrows a before reaching the spray zone.
Now, in order to understand the merits of this invention, data obtained by experiments are given below.
The diameter of the dryin c linder g y 3500mm The length of the dryin cylinder The pressure at the disc arge end of the cylinder The number of inlets for introducing -3mm water column As is obvious from the above, the rate of evaporation per volume of the cylinder according to this invention is about SSKg/m which is more than ten times larger than the hitherto known rates.
This invention is also applicable to vacuum spray evaporator, flash dryer, spray cooling granulator or the like. Further, drying cylinder may be vertical, horizontal or even tilted.
What we claim is:
1. A spray dryer comprising: a hollow cylinder forming a drying chamber having a first inlet end and a second outlet end, a liquid supply tube having a discharge end disposed axially within said inlet end of said chamher, a first primary hot air supply tube concentrically disposed with respect to said liquid supply tube, and terminating in a common transversely plane therewith, a second hot air supply tube connected with said inlet end of said cylinder to provide a cylindrical column of air completely surrounding said first hot air supply tube in the area of said common plane, a third air supply tube having means for communicating with the interior of said outlet end of said chamber and introducing at least one spiral air current moving tangentially with respect to the inner surface of said cylinder and in a longitudinal direction toward said inlet end; whereby said spiral air current forms a moving curtain preventing hot dry particles outwardly penetrating said cylindrical column of air from adhering to the inner surface of said cylinder, said spiral air current mixing with said cylindrical column of hot air along the axis of said cylinder to lower the effective temperature thereof at the outlet end of said cylinder.
2. Structure in accordance with claim 1, in which the volume flow ratio existing between said first hot air supply tube, said second hot air supply tube, and said third air supply tube is in the order of l:l:0.l.
