Definitions

  • the present invention relates to individual air regenerators or for collective premises, absorbing carbon dioxide under the effect of a Venturi ensuring the suction of air through the cartridge by means of a nozzle placed in the axis of Venturi and connected to a pressurized oxygen reserve.
  • the quantity of regenerated air When it comes to supplying regenerated air to a closed enclosure, such as premises or cockpits, the quantity of regenerated air must correspond to a minimum ensuring the personnel therein an amount of breathable air allowing a certain expenditure of energy, for example for the execution in the confined space of certain works. It is accepted that such an activity, for example of the order of 100 watts, requires a minimum supply of 37 liters of regenerated air per minute per person.
  • Respirators of the aforementioned type operating without any energy input to ensure the suction of stale air through the absorbent cartridge other than that of the expansion energy of compressed oxygen injected into the Venturi, consume 1 liter of oxygen at atmospheric pressure, which leads to a minimum volumetric yield: Q 2 and Q 1 being respectively the quantity of regenerated air and the quantity of oxygen injected in liters.
  • the present invention is based on the discovery of the extraordinarily high potential for air entrainment using Venturi that presents an oxygen jet whose molecules are reoriented and whose speed distribution becomes anisotropic and does not follow the function Maxwell distribution.
  • f (rwt) being the simple speed distribution function.
  • a speed distribution function is anisotropic, if it only depends on the module of w and not on its orientation.
  • the gas in the classical calculation of injectors, we consider the gas as a perfect gas, that is to say a gas whose molecules have an isotropic distribution in direction and a Maxwellian distribution of speeds. These conditions are approximately fulfilled, when the nozzle duct is cylindrical, of a great length compared to its diameter. The pressure drop in the duct is then large compared to that in the outlet end or nozzle and the expansion energy is mainly used to heat the oxygen cooled by its expansion.
  • the volumetric efficiency easily exceeds the efficiency of 37, which provides a minimum volume of regenerated air to personnel working in a closed enclosure.
  • This increased potential to entrain large amounts of air through the Venturi can be explained by the fact that in a jet of oriented molecules there are few side collisions between the oxygen molecules and that all of the energy dissipated in lateral collisions will be dissipated in collisions with the entrained air, thus giving a good volumetric efficiency of the Venturi.
  • the carbon dioxide absorbent cartridge air regenerator comprising a Venturi ensuring the suction of air through the cartridge by means of a nozzle opening axially upstream of the narrowed section of the Venturi and connected to an oxygen reserve under pressure according to the invention
  • the nozzle of the nozzle is constituted by a relatively thin wall, in which a calibrated orifice is pierced and whose thickness at the location of the bore is at most equal to the diameter of the orifice, so that at the exit of the nozzle the molecules of the oxygen jet are reoriented and the distribution of their speeds becomes anisotropic different from the distribution according to the Maxwell function.
  • a jet of oxygen with reoriented molecules can be produced by means of a nozzle constituted by a relatively large tube, for example of 2 mm in diameter ending in a nozzle formed by a calibrated orifice of clear contour with a diameter of 0 , 15 to 0.25 mm drilled in a relatively thin wall, for example 0.01 mm thick.
  • Such a wall pierced with an orifice can be produced in a metallic sheet of copper or aluminum, which is pierced using a suitable tool.
  • Another way of making the nozzle consists in crimping at the end of the tube a clockwork clasp in ruby, sapphire or cupro-beryllium, the flat face of which faces outwards and which is pierced with a central orifice. whose diameter varies between 0.15 and 0.25 mm.
  • the Venturi used can be of variable shape. They can be symmetrical with the inlet and outlet horns of the same length or asymmetrical, the outlet horn being longer than the inlet horn.
  • the oxygen supply pressure is not a critical element, very acceptable volumetric yields are obtained in the pressure range of 0.5 to 2 bars.
  • Tests have shown that there is a critical relationship between the diameter of the narrowed section of the Venturi and the distance at which the nozzle of the nozzle is placed upstream of the narrowed section of the Venturi, for a given oxygen pressure.
  • this distance is such that the diameter of the section of the oxygen jet, measured in the open air, at the location of the narrowed section of the Venturi is substantially equal to the diameter of this section.
  • the jet is directed perpendicularly to a target formed by a surface of water covering a white screen immersed in a few centimeters of water.
  • the vacuum of the surface under the oxygen jet is observed and its diameter is measured, when a beam of light parallel to the screen is sent through the liquid.
  • the depression creates a shadow circle on the screen, the diameter of which varies with the flow rate of the nozzle and the distance from the nozzle to the water surface.
  • this control system it is possible to determine the distance from the nozzle of the nozzle of the narrowed section as a function of the pressure of the oxygen flow rate so that the diameter of the section of the jet thus measured in the open air is substantially equal to the location of the narrowed section of the Venturi to the diameter of this section.
  • the air regenerator shown comprises a cylindrical duct 4 closed from below, in which is placed a Venturi 1 whose outlet horn 1a is fixed inside the duct 4 by welding and is connected to an outlet pipe 3 regenerated air.
  • the opposite wall of the duct 4 is in the form of a disc pierced with a central opening for the passage of a nozzle 2 connected via a duct 8 to the regulator of a cylinder of compressed oxygen.
  • the end of the inlet horn 1b is open and opens freely inside the cylindrical duct 4.
  • This duct communicates with two filter cartridges 5 for absorbing carbon dioxide, arranged on either side of the cylindrical duct 4.
  • the cartridges 5 are fixed in a removable manner by application with pressure on a plastic seal.
  • the nozzle 2 has a nozzle shown in FIG. 2.
  • a nozzle 10 provided with a circular shoulder 11 intended to bear on a support 12, ends in a narrowed section at the end of which is set a ruby 13.
  • This watch ruby is cut so as to present a flat face 14 to which opens a calibrated orifice 1 5 of 0.20 mm in diameter.
  • the inner face of the ruby is cut so as to have a hollow 16, which reduces its thickness at the location of the hole to 0.20 mm.
  • the Venturi used is asymmetrical in shape. Its very flared entry horn measures 20 mm, its conical exit horn 60 mm long ends with a 30 mm diameter flare. The diameter of the narrowed section of the Venturi is 12 mm.
  • the internal diameter of the nozzle at the point of section shrinkage is 2 mm.
  • the thickness of the ruby at the location of the hole is 0.2 mm.
  • the oxygen expansion at the narrowing of the Venturi causes a vacuum upstream which has the effect of sucking the polluted air through the cartridges, passing it inside the Venturi where it mixes with oxygen and let out through the tube 3 a mixture of purified air and pure oxygen.
  • the pressure drop caused by the mounting of an absorbent cartridge lowers the volumetric efficiency by 10%, the end piece intended for the other cartridge being blocked.
  • the yield only drops by 5% when two cartridges are fitted.
  • the two curves 1 and 2 represent the variations in the regenerated air flow Q 2 with the distance from the nozzle of the narrowed section of the Venturi for a Venturi whose narrowed section has a diameter of 12 mm and for oxygen flows of 1 bar (curve 1) and 2 bars (curve 2).
  • the optimum flow is between 20 and 40 mm apart.
  • the device according to the invention constitutes an undeniable progress in the field of the supply of regenerated air in a closed enclosure, because it makes it possible to produce an increased supply and largely sufficient to ensure the breathing comfort of the people who are there in the by means of a device of small bulk without any external energy supply other than that of expansion of a cylinder of compressed oxygen.
