Abstract

A wet cyclone having a slender body with a truncated cone at an end thereof includes a heavy fraction outlet at an apex of the truncated cone and an immersion tube on the other end of the body. The immersion tube is cylindrical for withdrawal of a light non-gaseous fraction. A diffuser within the immersion tube deflects the flow within the tube for recovery of pressure head. The diffuser is disposed at a distance from the inlet end of the immersion tube of at least about half the inside diameter of the immersion tube.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Hydrozyklon entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1. Ein solcher Hydrozyklon ist bekannt aus DE-AS-1 072 024. Bei diesem Hydrozyklon ist vorgesehen, daß die Schaufeln des im Tauchrohr angeordneten Leitapparates eine bogenförmige Eintrittskante haben. Ferner sollen die Schaufeln einfach gekrümmte Platten sein. Erfindungsgemäß wird die bogenförmige Ausbildung der Eintrittskanten der Schaufeln gerade nicht verwendet. Für den hauptsächlich vorgesehenen Anwendungszweck bei Fasersuspensionen haben sich andere Gesichtspunkte als wesentlich herausgestellt.The invention relates to a hydrocyclone according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a hydrocyclone is known from DE-AS-1 072 024. In this hydrocyclone it is provided that the blades of the guide device arranged in the dip tube have an arcuate leading edge. Furthermore, the blades should be simply curved plates. According to the invention, the arcuate design of the leading edges of the blades is currently not used. For the main intended application in fiber suspensions, other aspects have proven to be essential.

Ferner ist es auch nicht nötig, daß das Tauchrohr eine irgendwie geartete konische Form hat, sondern ein gerades Tauchrohr ist erfindungsgemäß von Vorteil, zumindest weil es fertigungstechnisch einfacher herzustellen ist.Furthermore, it is also not necessary for the dip tube to have any conical shape, but a straight dip tube is advantageous according to the invention, at least because it is easier to manufacture in terms of production technology.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung der in den Figuren der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele erläutert. Dabei stellt Figur 1 eine erste schematische Skizze im Axialschnitt, Figur 2 eine ähnliche Skizze einer anderen Ausführungsform und Figur 3 eine Einzelheit von Figur 1 in Bezug auf den Leitapparat und den Eintrittsbereich des Tauchrohres dar.The invention of the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the figures of the drawing is explained below. 1 shows a first schematic sketch in axial section, FIG. 2 shows a similar sketch of another embodiment, and FIG. 3 shows a detail of FIG. 1 in relation to the guide apparatus and the inlet area of the dip tube.

In Figur 1 ist der Hydrozyklon 1 dargestellt mit tangentialem Einströmrohr 2, dem konischen Unterteil 12, das hier nur gebrochen angedeutet ist, sowie mit einem zentralen, von oben in den Eintrittsbereich des Zyklons hineinragenden Tauchrohr 3. Innerhalb des Tauchrohrs ist in einem bestimmten Abstand von dessen Eintrittskante der Leitapparat 5 mit den Leitschaufeln 7 angeordnet. Der Abstand des Leitapparats - also der Eintrittskante der Schaufeln 7 - von der Eintrittskante des Tauchrohrs 3 ist mindestens gleich dem halben Tauchrohrinnendurchmesser.In FIG. 1, the hydrocyclone 1 is shown with a tangential inflow tube 2, the conical lower part 12, which is only indicated in broken lines here, and with a central immersion tube 3 projecting from above into the entry area of the cyclone the leading edge of the guide device 5 is arranged with the guide blades 7. The distance of the guide apparatus - that is to say the leading edge of the blades 7 - from the leading edge of the dip tube 3 is at least equal to half the inner diameter of the dip tube.

Beträgt z.B. der Innendurchmesser des Tauchrohrs 50 mm, so ist der Mindestabstand mit 25 mm etwa anzusetzen. Es hat sich herausgestellt, daß auf diese Weise eine einwandfreie Wirkungsweise des Leitapparats ermöglicht wird, weil störenden Randströmungen am Eintrittsbereich des Tauchrohres ausgewichen wird. Für den vorgesehenen Zweck sollte vorzugsweise der Leitapparat entsprechend Figur 2 im Eintrittsbereich angespitzte Schaufeln 7 aufweisen, die etwa nach einer parabelförmigen Kurve - bezogen auf einen Ast derselben - mit ihrer radial inneren Kante verlaufen können. Die Krümmung der Schaufeln nimmt vom Eintrittsbereich zum Austrittsende des Leitapparats ab, so daß sie schließlich eben und gerade verlaufen, entsprechend einer durch sie gezogenen Radialebene des Hydrozyklons. Man braucht nicht sehr viele Schaufeln anzuwenden - wie es auch aus der eingangs erwähnten Schrift nach dem Stand der Technik bekannt ist - so daß etwa ein Abstand von einem Viertel des Innenumfangs des Tauchrohrs genügt. Das bedeutet natürlich, daß der Leitapparat 5 etwa vier Schaufeln 7 aufweist.For example, the inner diameter of the immersion tube is 50 mm, the minimum distance is approximately 25 mm. It has been found that this enables the guide apparatus to function properly because disruptive edge currents are evaded at the inlet area of the dip tube. For the intended purpose, the guide apparatus according to FIG. 2 should preferably have blades 7 sharpened in the entry region, which blades may run with their radially inner edge, for example, following a parabolic curve - based on a branch thereof. The curvature of the blades decreases from the inlet area to the outlet end of the guide apparatus, so that they finally run flat and straight, corresponding to a radial plane of the hydrocyclone drawn through them. You do not need to use very many blades - as is also known from the above-mentioned prior art - so that a distance of a quarter of the inner circumference of the dip tube is sufficient. Of course, this means that the guide device 5 has about four blades 7.

Im Fall von Figur 2 ist ein zusätzliches Gasabfuhrrohr 6' zentral im und konzentrisch zum Tauchrohr 3 vorgesehen, wobei diesmal ein etwas größerer Abstand des Leitapparats vom Eintrittsende des Gasrohres gewählt ist, der etwa gleich dem Tauchrohr-Innendurchmesser ist und vorzugsweise mindestens 170 % des Tauchrohrinnendurchmessers beträgt. Dies wird ungefähr als ein Mindestabstand angesehen.In the case of FIG. 2, an additional gas discharge pipe 6 'is provided centrally in and concentrically with the dip pipe 3, this time a somewhat larger distance of the guide apparatus from the inlet end of the gas pipe is chosen, which is approximately equal to the inside pipe diameter and preferably at least 170% of the inside pipe diameter is. This is approximately considered a minimum distance.

In Figur 3 ist erkennbar, daß die Eintrittskante des Tauchrohrs 3 abgerundet ausgeführt ist, und zwar etwa mit einem Abrundungsradius zwischen dem 0,65-fachen und dem 0,9-fachen der Wandstärke s des Tauchrohrs 3. Vorzugsweise ist dies auch eine Verdickung 10, die sich vorzugsweise mindestens zum Teil innerhalb des Tauchrohrs befindet. Hierdurch kann den Sekundärströmungen im Eintrittsbereich des Tauchrohrs in erheblichem Maße begegnet werden.In Figure 3 it can be seen that the leading edge of the dip tube 3 is rounded, approximately with a radius of curvature between 0.65 times and 0.9 times the wall thickness s of the dip tube 3. Preferably, this is also a thickening 10 , which is preferably located at least partially within the dip tube. As a result, the secondary flows in the inlet area of the dip tube can be countered to a considerable extent.

Insgesamt ergibt sich mit den geschilderten Maßnahmen auch eine nicht zu große Länge des Tauchrohrs wegen der Einbauten desselben, so daß zusätzliche Reibungsverluste nicht auftreten. Die genannten Mindestabstände sind in den Figuren mit lmin angegeben.Overall, the measures described also result in the immersion tube not being too large in length because of the internals thereof, so that additional friction losses do not occur. The minimum distances mentioned are indicated in the figures as 1 min .
