Abstract
Description
本出願は、2016年4月26日出願の日本出願第2016-087695号に基づく優先権を主張し、前記日本出願に記載された全ての記載内容を援用するものである。
複数のガスポートを有する多重管バーナの中心のガスポートからガラス原料ガスを噴射すると共に前記中心のガスポートの外側の複数のガスポートから火炎形成用ガスを噴射し、前記火炎形成用ガスにより形成される火炎内で前記ガラス原料ガスを火炎分解反応させてガラス微粒子を合成するガラス微粒子の合成方法であって、
前記多重管バーナは、そのガス噴射側端面に前記中心のガスポートより下流側に突き出した突出し部が形成されており、
前記突出し部より内側にあるガスポートのうちの少なくとも1つのガスポートから、前記中心のガスポートから噴射するガス流速V1の0.3倍以上1.0倍以下の流速V2となるように前記火炎形成用ガスを噴射してガラス微粒子の合成を行う。
特許文献1のようなガラス微粒子の合成方法に用いられる多重管バーナは、火炎分解反応の調整などのため、多重管バーナの径方向における内側のガスポートより外側のガスポートの方が長くなる突出し部が形成されている。特許文献1の場合は、突出し部を段差部と称してその段差部が二段設けられている。このような突出し部により、中心のガスポートから噴射される原料ガスが過度に散らばらないようにできる。
本開示によれば、ガラス製造の機会損失を抑制し、多重管バーナの清掃(または交換)作業の必要性をほぼ無くすることができる。
最初に本発明の実施形態を列記して説明する。
本発明の一態様に係るガラス微粒子の合成方法は、
(1)複数のガスポートを有する多重管バーナの中心のガスポートからガラス原料ガスを噴射すると共に前記中心のガスポートの外側の複数のガスポートから火炎形成用ガスを噴射し、前記火炎形成用ガスにより形成される火炎内で前記ガラス原料ガスを火炎分解反応させてガラス微粒子を合成するガラス微粒子の合成方法であって、
前記多重管バーナは、そのガス噴射側端面に前記中心のガスポートより下流側に突き出した突出し部が形成されており、
前記突出し部より内側にあるガスポートのうちの少なくとも1つのガスポートから、前記中心のガスポートから噴射するガス流速V1の0.3倍以上1.0倍以下の流速V2となるように前記火炎形成用ガスを噴射してガラス微粒子の合成を行う。
この方法によれば、多重管バーナの突出し部より内側にあるガスポートのうちの少なくとも1つのガスポートから、中心のガスポートから噴射するガス流速V1の0.3倍以上1.0倍以下の流速V2となるように火炎形成用ガスを噴射するので、中心のガスポートから噴射するガラス原料ガスが、流速V2の火炎形成用ガスに阻まれて、突出し部の内壁にはほとんどガラス微粒子が堆積しない。このため、多重管バーナの目詰まりが生じないので、ガラス製造の機会損失を抑制し、多重管バーナのメンテナンス作業の必要性をほぼ無くすることができる。
前記突き出し部の突出し長さがV1×0.01秒以下であることが好ましい。
上記条件下で、ガラス微粒子の合成を行うことにより、より確実にガラス製造の機会損失を抑制し、多重管バーナの清掃(または交換)作業の必要性をほぼ無くすることができる。

なお、ガスの流速Vは、ガスポートを流れるガスの流量Q(m3/秒)と、ガスポートの断面積S(m2)とから、次の式1で算出することができる。

S1=π×r12=π×0.0032(m2)
Q2=0.000372(m3/秒)
S2=π×(r32-r22)=π×(0.0112-0.0092)(m2)の条件でガラス微粒子の合成を行い、管部63Aの内壁へのガラス微粒子10の堆積を観察した。
このときの、ガラス原料ガスの流速V1=Q1/S1=15.0(m/秒)、火炎形成用ガスの流速V2=Q2/S2=3.0(m/秒)であり、V2=0.2V1であった。すなわち、火炎形成用ガスポート63から噴射される火炎形成用ガスの流速V2は、原料ガスポート50から噴射されるガラス原料ガスの流速V1の0.2倍であった。
このときの、火炎形成用ガスの流速V2=Q2/S2=4.5(m/秒)であり、V2=0.3V1であった。すなわち、火炎形成用ガスポート63から噴射される火炎形成用ガスの流速V2は、原料ガスポート50から噴射されるガラス原料ガスの流速V1の0.3倍であった。
このときの、火炎形成用ガスの流速V2=Q2/S2=15.0(m/秒)であり、V2=1.0V1であった。すなわち、火炎形成用ガスポート63から噴射される火炎形成用ガスの流速V2は、原料ガスポート50から噴射されるガラス原料ガスの流速V1の1.0倍であった。
このときの、火炎形成用ガスの流速V2=Q2/S2=18.0(m/秒)であり、V2=1.2V1であった。すなわち、火炎形成用ガスポート63から噴射される火炎形成用ガスの流速V2は、原料ガスポート50から噴射されるガラス原料ガスの流速V1の1.2倍であった。
シミュレーションは、市販の熱流体解析ソフトでおこなった。上記実験における突出し長L、V1、V2で計算した管部63Aの内壁付近のガラス微粒子濃度と、上記実験で観察した堆積量を対応させることで、突出し長L、V1、V2を変えた場合をシミュレーションした。
各表の結果では、ガラス微粒子10の堆積量を、「有」、「有(A)」(清掃により容易に除去可能な量)、「無」の3つの水準に分けて表記している。
また、上記実験では火炎形成用ガスの流速V2=1.2V1の場合、管部63Aの内壁へのガラス微粒子10の堆積はまったく生じなかったものの、ガラス微粒子堆積体Mの表面温度が低下して、ガラス微粒子堆積体Mの製造ができなかったことから、表1~表3におけるV2が1.2×V1の場合は、同様にガラス微粒子堆積体Mの表面温度が低下すると考えられる。このため、V2が1.2×V1の場合は、ガラス微粒子10の堆積量にかかわらず、「温度低下」と表記している。
なお、原料ガスポート50の半径r1が大きいほど、原料ガスポートから噴射されたガラス原料ガスが拡散しやすいため、原料ガスポート50の半径r1が大きい多重管バーナを用いる場合が特に好ましい。
