Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for producing a pressurized cold gas stream by heat exchange and mixing a gaseous component with a cold liquid component, according to the features of claim 1.
- Cold gas streams under pressure are increasingly required in various technical fields. These are primarily areas of application in which the low temperature of a liquefied low-boiling gas, for example liquid nitrogen, is not desired. In such cases, it is inexpensive to produce the gas stream from a cold liquid component, for example from liquid nitrogen, and a gaseous component, for example gaseous nitrogen at ambient temperature.
- a cold liquid component for example from liquid nitrogen
- a gaseous component for example gaseous nitrogen at ambient temperature.
- Such cold gas flows under pressure are used, for example, for deburring molded rubber parts by cryogenic gun blasting (4 to 15 bar; -40 to -120 ° C), for additional internal cooling when blowing plastic hollow bodies (2 to 12 bar; -40 to -150 ° C and when cold gas polishing highly elastic paints on the production line (0.02 to 5 bar; -20 to -120 ° C).
- the invention has for its object to provide a device for producing a pressurized cold gas stream by heat exchange and mixing a gaseous component with a cold liquid component, which works equally well in both continuous and discontinuous operation, from one mode of operation to the other others can be converted and is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
- the device according to the invention works with direct heat exchange between the gaseous and the liquid component.
- the difficulties that had to be overcome in this context were primarily the long residence time which the liquid droplets in the gaseous component need to evaporate completely.
- the formation of a cold gas stream from gaseous and liquid nitrogen the liquid droplets require an at least 4m long mixing section for complete evaporation. This distance could at best be shortened by using additional atomizing devices, which would however make the device more expensive and make it sluggish depending on the operating conditions. Due to the arrangement of the mixing section in a pressure vessel according to the invention, however, the device can be made compact.
- the pressure vessel serves as a pressure pulsation damper. It is advantageous to provide the pressure vessel with a bed, for example made of VA-Raschig rings. This enables particularly precise temperature control, for example in discontinuous operation, ie surge operation at constant temperature. For the desired fast and precise temperature control, especially in the case of discontinuous operation, a control specification serves for the pressure and temperature-controlled introduction of the liquid component.
- the operation of the device according to the invention is of course not limited to the production of a cold compressed gas stream from gaseous and liquid nitrogen. Dry air, carbon dioxide and other gases can also be considered as gaseous components.
- the liquid component can also consist of carbon dioxide or argon, for example.
- the liquid component can also contain solid components, for example liquid nitrogen with frozen carbon dioxide particles or hydrogen slush from liquid and frozen hydrogen.
- the drawing shows a pressure vessel 1 with insulation 2.
- a long tubular mixing section 3 is arranged in the pressure vessel 1, which opens into the interior of the pressure vessel 1.
- the other end of the mixing section 3 is guided through the cover 4 of the pressure vessel 1 to a connection 5.
- the mixing section 3 is surrounded by a bed 8 of VA rings, which is arranged in a screen fabric 9.
- a valve 10 At the bottom of the pressure vessel 1 there is a valve 10 through which water can be drawn off. For example, the water can separate if air that is not completely dried is used as the gaseous component.
- the device is provided with a pressure relief valve 11, which responds to excessively high pressures in the pressure vessel 1.
- the supply of the liquid component is controlled by a control specification 12, which detects the temperature in the mixing section 3 and the pressure in the connection 6.
- the mixing section 3 is so long that complete evaporation of the liquid component is ensured even during continuous operation and low temperatures. In a practical device, the mixing section is 3 4m long.
- the pressurized gaseous component is introduced into the mixing section through the connection 5 via the valve 13.
- the liquid component flows through the Connection 6 via the control valve 14, the liquid component. Their amount is controlled by the rule specification 12. In this way, any freely selectable temperature below the temperature of the gaseous component to just above the temperature of the liquid component can be achieved.
- the liquid component is under a higher pressure than the gaseous component. It is injected into the mixing section 3, evaporates there and leaves the mixing section 3 as a cold gas stream. Through the connection 7 and the valve 15, the cold gas stream can be discharged from the device at a freely selectable pressure. This pressure can be freely selected up to the permissible operating pressure of the pressure vessel 1.
- the prerequisite is that the pressure of the liquid component is greater than that of the gaseous component.
- a pressure of the liquid component which is 0.1 to 1.5 bar higher is sufficient.
- the pressure of the liquid component can be significantly higher, for example liquid nitrogen below 15 bar and gaseous nitrogen below 8 bar.
