Definitions
- the invention relates to a watering nozzle, in particular a watering nozzle for multi-effect distillation seawater desalination plants.
- Multi-effect distillation is, alongside successive distillation, one of the two main industrial methods of desalination of sea water imitating the natural cycle of water (evaporation- condensation-rain).
- This method takes advantage of the heat of condensation, released during the condensation of a first quantity of water vapor, to vaporize sea water and thus again generate water vapor that can be condensed.
- This succession of evaporation and condensation is possible only if the vaporization pressure decreases sufficiently at each stage to allow a corresponding lowering of the vaporization temperature.
- a multi-effect distillation seawater desalination plant thus comprises a multitude of juxtaposed chambers or distillation cells, called "effects", which operate at decreasing pressure and temperature from first to last effect.
- the first effect which is also the hottest, is fed by steam condensing at a temperature generally between about 60 and 70 0 C (heating steam).
- the condensation of this hot vapor in the heat exchanger of the first effect releases condensation heat.
- This heat of condensation provides the vaporization energy (latent heat of evaporation) necessary to transform into vapor some of the seawater flowing in thin film on the other side of the heat exchanger.
- the water vapor thus formed can be used to supply the heat exchanger with a second effect of similar design to the first but operating at a lower temperature and pressure.
- the sprinkler nozzle described in this application comprises a cylindrical turbulence chamber in which the spraying fluid is rotated according to a main swirling flow.
- the particular stepped conformation of the upper face of the turbulence chamber creates a series of secondary vortices carried by the main vortex, the swirl assembly filling the turbulence chamber such that the sprinkler cone formed by the diffuser is a solid cone.
- this nozzle allows in principle a homogeneous dispersion of the seawater without risk of clogging or loss of pressure
- this device under the actual operating conditions with injection of the fluid under pressure in a partial vacuum chamber, has proved partly unsatisfactory because it provides an unstable watering rate with more or less regular pulsations impossible to correct.
- the subject of the present invention is therefore a watering nozzle comprising a substantially cylindrical turbulence chamber with an upper wall and a lower wall, an inlet duct for the cooling liquid discharging into the turbulence chamber in a direction causing a turbulence.
- the upper wall of the turbulence chamber comprises , on its inner face, a central depression and a number of grooves radially arranged in a first sector corresponding to the beginning of the tangential flow path of the cooling liquid in the turbulence chamber, the other sector, complementary to the sector, being free of train paths.
- the nozzle of the present invention can be used in all applications where it is necessary to disperse finely, without risk of clogging, a liquid medium. slightly viscous according to a solid dispersion cone.
- this spatial orientation is such that the central axis of the turbulence chamber and the diffuser is a vertical axis and the lower and upper walls of the cylindrical turbulence chamber are each in a horizontal plane, perpendicular to this central vertical axis. In this position, the flow direction of the liquid in the arrival duct is also located in a substantially horizontal plane.
- the turbulence chamber of the watering nozzle according to the invention preferably has the shape of a relatively flat cylinder, that is to say a cylinder having a height less than the diameter of the base.
- the ratio of the height of the turbulence chamber to the diameter of the The lower or upper wall is preferably between 0.6 and 0.8 and in particular between 0.65 and 0.75.
- the coolant is injected into the turbulence chamber in a substantially horizontal tangential direction.
- the liquid thus injected under pressure flows tangentially to the casing of the cylinder (turbulence chamber) and forms a main vortex.
- the centrifugal force of this main vortex in the absence of central depression and grooves in the upper wall of the nozzle, would result in a dispersion of the liquid in a hollow cone, only watering the edges of a circular area.
- the grooves and the central depression provided in the upper wall of the nozzle according to the invention have the function of creating secondary turbulence and decreasing the relative importance of the main vortex, by bringing part of the liquid towards the central zone of the chamber turbulence.
- the Applicant in the context of the numerous hydrodynamic tests carried out to arrive at the present invention, noted with surprise that a disposition of the grooves in a symmetry of revolution did not allow a perfectly regular dispersion of the liquid and systematically gave rise to a defect. watering in an eccentric zone.
- a solid watering cone is obtained allowing the whole of the circular watering zone to be moistened regularly.
- This sector having radial grooves must cover at least half of the surface of the upper wall and must correspond to the beginning of the tangential flow path of the coolant in the turbulence chamber.
- a second sector free of grooves, complementary to the first sector, corresponds to the end of the tangential flow path of the cooling liquid in the turbulence chamber.
- This second groove-free sector preferably covers an angle ⁇ of between 180 ° and 90 °, preferably between 150 ° and 120 °.
- the number and the dimensions of the radial grooves located in the first sector have a great influence on the hydrodynamic behavior of the watering nozzle according to the invention. In fact, an insufficient or excessive number of grooves respectively results in an excess or a lack of watering in the periphery of the watering zone.
- the Applicant has found that a number of grooves equal to 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7, preferably 4, 5 or 6 and in particular 5, gave the best results in terms of homogeneity of watering.
- the inlet pipe has a substantially rectangular cross section at least in the part where it opens into the turbulence chamber.
- the inlet duct advantageously has a circular cross-section and a thread enabling the nozzle to be fixed on the supply of cooling liquid.
- a vertical face of the inlet duct is preferably located in a plane tangent to the casing of the cylinder of the turbulence chamber.
- the height of this vertical face and the face opposite to it is approximately equal to half the total height of the turbulence chamber, ie the ratio of the height (vertical dimension) of the cross section of the duct to reach the height of the cylindrical turbulence chamber is preferably between 0.7 and 0.3, preferably between 0.4 and 0.6.
- the horizontal dimension (width) of the inlet duct is preferably close to the radius of the cylindrical chamber, ie the ratio of the width of the cross section of the inlet duct to the radius (r) of the turbulence chamber is included between 0.8 and 1.1, preferably between 0.9 and 1.
- the upper wall of the turbulence chamber comprises a number of grooves radially arranged and joining at the center of the wall.
- the first of these grooves is preferably substantially parallel to the axis of the arrival duct or forms with it an acute angle ( ⁇ ) less than or equal to 20 °, preferably less than or equal to 10 °.
- the other grooves are arranged radially at the same angular distance from each other in the image of the petals of a flower corolla, except that they do not cover the entire disc formed by the upper wall but only a first sector of it.
- the visual effect is comparable to that of a flower corolla to which the petals were torn out over part of its circumference.
- the furrows, to be effective must have a certain depth relative to the overall height of the turbulence chamber. In fact, too flat grooves do not effectively disturb the main vortex of the cooling liquid and oppose the centrifugal force thereof. Too deep furrows, on the contrary, would lead to excessive "centralization" of the watering liquid resulting in an excess of liquid in the center of the watering cone.
- the Applicant has found that one generally obtained a watering cone full of a satisfactory regularity for a ratio of the depth of the grooves to the total height of the turbulence chamber
- groove depth here means the maximum depth of the grooves at their peripheral end. This depth decreases towards the center of the "corolla” of grooves because of the central depression which affects the entire surface of the upper wall, that is to say both the sector with grooves that the sector without furrows. The depth of the grooves can thus be reduced by more than half between their peripheral end and the place where the furrows meet in a central hollow zone.
- the width of the grooves is preferably similar to the maximum depth thereof. More precisely, a preferred ratio of the width to the maximum depth of between 0.8 and 1.2, and in particular between 0.9 and 1.1, can be defined.
- the irrigation water leaves the turbulence chamber through the diffuser provided in the lower wall of the turbulence chamber. This diffuser is coaxial with the turbulence chamber.
- the ratio of the internal diameter of this diffuser to the internal diameter of the turbulence chamber is preferably between 0.2 and 0.4, in particular between 0.25 and 0.35.
- the diffuser includes a substantially cylindrical portion located between the turbulence chamber and the trumpet horn portion of the diffuser.
- the ratio of the height of the substantially cylindrical portion to the height of the trumpet horn shaped portion is preferably in the range of from 0.1 to 0.5, in particular from 0.2 to 0.4.
- the invention further relates to a desalination plant of seawater by distillation comprising at least one watering nozzle as described above.
- This desalination plant is preferably a multi-effect installation as described in the introduction.
- each effect comprises at least one watering nozzle according to the invention disposed above the heat exchange tubes in which the condensation of water vapor takes place, which will supply the energy necessary for the evaporation of the sea water sprayed by the spray nozzles.
- the watering nozzle according to the invention can, however, also be used in other industrial processes such as processes for cleaning up fumes or treating water.

- FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the nozzle of FIG. 1 along the horizontal plane including the axis AA 'showing the inside face of the upper wall of the turbulence chamber; FIG. cross section of the nozzle of Figure 1 along the vertical plane perpendicular to the axis A-A ', and
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view from below the inner surface of the upper wall of the turbulence chamber of a watering nozzle according to the invention.
- Figure 1 shows a nozzle according to the invention with a turbulence chamber 1 having a substantially cylindrical shape, more particularly the shape of a flat cylinder whose height is slightly less than the diameter of its base.

- the inlet pipe of the cooling liquid has a circular section and has an external thread. to fix it by screwing into the sprinkler system.
- the turbulence chamber comprises a second, circular opening located in the center of the bottom wall 2b of the turbulence chamber, where the diffuser 5 of the cooling liquid originates.
- This diffuser 5 is perfectly coaxial with respect to the turbulence chamber. It consists of a first portion, upper, substantially cylindrical and a second part in the form of a trumpet horn.
- the outer surface of the upper wall 2a is perfectly flat and does not reflect the particular geometry of its inner surface explained in detail with reference to Figures 2, 3 and 4 below.
- the Applicant also intends to protect nozzles where the shape of the outer surface of the upper wall 2a at least partially reflects the geometry of the inner face, with the recessed portions corresponding to the protruding portions on the opposite face and vice versa.
- Figure 2 shows the particular arrangement of the grooves in the inner surface of the upper wall 2a of the nozzle according to the invention.
- This surface comprises a total of five grooves 6 rounded at their ends.
- These five grooves define a first sector 4a of an angle complementary to the angle ⁇ .
- This first sector 4a corresponds to the beginning of the flow path of the cooling liquid arriving via the conduit 3.
- the second sector 4b is free of grooves and here has an angle ⁇ equal to 155 °.
- the grooved sector 4b and the four triangular surfaces separating the grooves are not horizontal surfaces but slopes towards the center of the wall 2a. This slope, invisible in this figure 2 because of the perspective from below, appears clearly in Figures 3 and 4 below.
