Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for mixing a first and a second gas, wherein a stream of a first gas is guided in a main line and the second gas is fed via a feed line to a nozzle head and divided into several sub-streams. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for mixing a first and a second gas with a main conduit for guiding the first gas, a supply line for the second gas, wherein the supply line extends into the interior of the main line and at its end substantially parallel extends to the axis of symmetry of the main line, and a nozzle head which is connected at its rear end to the supply line, wherein the nozzle head has outlet channels for the second gas.
  • oxygen-enriched air is used as the oxidant.
  • the oxygen is injected for this purpose by means of an injector into the air stream, whereby a uniform distribution of the oxygen in the air flow must be achieved as possible. Otherwise, locally increased oxygen concentrations in the subsequent chemical reaction could lead to local temperature peaks, so-called "hot spots", which can have a negative effect on the reaction to be carried out or even lead to damage to the reactor.
  • a main gas of a first gas flowing in a duct section is supplied with a second gas via a supply line.
  • the discharge end of the second gas supply line extends coaxially with the axis of the passage portion and is provided with radially outwardly directed discharge passages.
  • baffles are provided, so that a rotational movement of the introduced second gas is generated about the axis of the channel section.
  • Object of the present invention is to develop a method and an apparatus of the type mentioned, which allow the most homogeneous possible mixture of the two combined gases.
  • This object is achieved by a method for mixing a first and a second gas, wherein a stream of a first gas is guided in a main line and the second gas is fed via a feed line to a nozzle head and divided into several sub-streams, wherein at least a part of the Partial flows are introduced at an angle between 15 ° and 75 ° counter to the flow direction of the first gas in the first gas.
  • the inventive device of the type mentioned above is characterized in that the outlet channels are inclined at an angle between 15 and 75 ° against the axis of symmetry of the main line.
  • the outlet channels are inclined at an angle between 15 ° and 75 °, preferably 30 ° to 60 °, particularly preferably at an angle between 40 ° and 50 °, with respect to the axis of symmetry of the main line.
  • the outlet channels are directed against the flow direction of the first gas.
  • the nozzle head has a plurality of outlet channels for the second gas.
  • the outlet channels are designed so that no swirling flow is imparted to the exiting gas. It has been shown that the two gases mix more homogeneously when the gas supplied via the supply line exits in a straight line from the nozzle head and does not perform any rotational movement.
  • the supply line for the second gas and the nozzle head are designed so that they have a streamlined shape without tendency to flutter. This is achieved in that the front end of the nozzle head is rounded so that it does not experience buoyancy in the flow of the first gas and maintains a stable position. In addition, the flow resistance is reduced by this shaping.
  • the front end of the nozzle head preferably has an elliptical, parabolic or hemispherical profile.
  • the flow resistance is markedly reduced by this shaping, on the other hand it is ensured that the nozzle head in the main flow of the first gas does not experience any buoyancy and thus the flattening of the nozzle head is reduced.
  • the transition to the supply line is preferably sharp-edged, wherein the diameter of the nozzle head at this point is greater than that of the supply line.
  • the transition thus acts as a spoiler lip.
  • the diameter of the feed line at the connection point to the nozzle head is preferably at most 90% of the diameter of the rear end of the nozzle head.
  • the angle between the outside of the nozzle head and the transition to the feed line is between 30 ° and 90 °.
  • the supply line extends to the axis of symmetry of the main line and the axis of symmetry of the nozzle head extends coaxially with the axis of symmetry of the main line.
  • outlet channels For optimum mixing of the two gases, all outlet channels must be flowed through evenly. It has been found that this can be achieved by a uniform distribution of the outlet channels in a row over the circumference of the nozzle head.
  • the outlet openings of the outlet channels are located in the rear third of the nozzle head. In this area, a defined flow has already formed due to the profiling of the nozzle head.
  • a certain flow resistance is caused in the main line for the first gas. It has been shown that a good Flow in the main line is formed when the diameter of the rear end of the nozzle head, that is, the maximum diameter of the nozzle head, which is 0.15 to 0.3 times the diameter of the main line.
  • the cross-sectional areas of the outlet channels are chosen to be small in relation to the cross-sectional area of the feed line.
  • the flow resistance in the outlet channels is large against the flow resistance in the supply line and any pressure fluctuations in the gas supplied via the feed line do not or only slightly affect the throughput through the outlet channels.
  • the exit velocity of the second gas should be well below the speed of sound in order to rule out a transient, highly compressible behavior. Preferably, an exit velocity of less than half the speed of sound is selected.
  • suitable outlet velocities are in the range between 50 m / s and 150 m / s, preferably between 70 m / s and 100 m / s.
  • the regulation of the second gas is preferably carried out only by controlling the total supplied via the supply line current to second gas.
  • the individual individual jets of second gas flowing out through the respective outlet channels are not regulated separately.
  • the invention is particularly suitable for oxygen enrichment of an air stream.
  • Oxygen-enriched air is advantageously used in numerous oxidation processes in the chemical industry, for example in refineries, Claus processes or FCC (fluid catalytic cracking).
  • the air flow is in this case passed through the main line and injected oxygen via the supply line and the nozzle head in the air stream.
  • mixing ratios of second gas to first gas can be produced between 1: 50 to 1: 3, and air flows of up to 200,000 m 3 / h can be enriched with oxygen.
  • the preferred field of application of the invention relates to the admixing of a second gas into a flow of a first gas, wherein the flow of the first gas between 1,000 m 3 / h and 200,000 m 3 / h, more preferably between 5,000 m 3 / h and 100,000 m 3 / h.
  • the device according to the invention is small, stable and can be quickly installed in a pipeline.
  • corresponding flanges are provided for this purpose.
  • a nozzle 3 with flanges 2 is welded in the air leading main line 1.
  • the air flow 15 runs in the figure from right to left.
  • a supply line 4 via which the air flowing in the main line 1 of air can be supplied.
  • the supply line 4 extends to the axis of symmetry 5 of the main line 1, is then angled and ends coaxially with the axis of symmetry. 5
  • a nozzle head 6 With the supply line 4, a nozzle head 6 is connected.
  • the nozzle head 6 is elliptically rounded at its front end 7 facing away from the feed line 4.
  • the transition to the feed line 4 is stepped and sharp-edged.
  • the step-shaped transition shown in the figure with a 90 ° angle between the outside of the nozzle head 6 and the back and transitions with angles between 30 ° and 90 °, preferably 45 °, are possible.
  • the front, the nozzle head 6 facing the end of the supply line 4 has a diameter 9, which is 90% of the rear diameter 10 of the nozzle head 6.
  • the maximum diameter 10 of the nozzle head 6 is 0.15 to 0.3 times the inner diameter of the main line 1 in order to keep the resistance to the flowing air small and to ensure sufficient stability of the nozzle head 6.
  • the interior of the nozzle head 6 is provided with a central chamber 11, which is open to the supply line 4. From the central chamber 11, a bore 12 running coaxially with the axis of symmetry 5 and a plurality of outlet channels 13 extending at an angle of 45 ° to the axis of symmetry 5 emerge.
  • the outlet openings of the outlet channels 13 lie on a lying on the lateral surface of the nozzle head 6 circle.
  • the outlet channels 13 are drilled from the outside into the nozzle head 6 and each deburred at the outer end.
  • the bores for the outlet channels 13 extend in a straight line through the body of the nozzle head 6.
  • the cross-sectional areas of the outlet channels 13 and the central bore 12 are small compared to the cross-sectional area of the feed line 4.
  • the ratio of the cross-sectional area of an outlet channel 13 to that of the feed line 4 is less than 2%. This embodiment ensures that the flow resistance in an outlet channel 13 is great against the flow resistance of the feed line 4. Pressure fluctuations in the supplied via the supply line 4 oxygen flow 14 and pressure fluctuations in the flowing in the main line 3 air 15 affect so not or only slightly on the oxygen flow rate through the outlet channels 13.
  • the velocity of the oxygen 16 flowing out through the outlet channels 13 is preferably less than 50% of the speed of sound in order to avoid transient flow conditions.
  • outlet channels 12, 13 drilled in a straight line through the nozzle head 6, so that the outflowing through the outlet channels 12, 13 oxygen experiences no twist. The formation of vortices in which oxygen does not mix is thus prevented.
  • the outflow direction 16 of 45 ° against the air flow 15 a wide penetration of the mixing jets 16 is secured in the air stream 15. The mixed flow penetrates into the laminar flow layers at the edge of the main line 1 and mixes with the air.
