- This signal connection can be wired or wireless.
- the control device 45 is again in a manner not shown, which may also be wired or wireless, with the compressed gas generator 29 and the suction gas generator 38 in signal communication. Also, a connection of the control device 45 with a throttle valve, not shown for adjusting a gas flow rate is possible.
- a critical empty- tube gas velocity V Lg, kr is first determined.
- the bulk material heat exchanger 20 is operated with bulk material and with a first low power of the compressed gas generator 29, which corresponds to a first, low countercurrent gas quantity.
- This amount of gas is then gradually increased by gradually increasing the power of the compressed gas generator 29 or by opening a throttle valve, not shown, on the suction side or on the pressure side of the compressed gas generator 29.
- the influence of the heat transfer gas on the bulk material within the heat exchanger tubes 7 is monitored. This monitoring can be done for example by measuring the differential pressure at the heat exchanger section 2 via the differential pressure sensor 34a. Alternatively, the monitoring can be carried out by measuring the temperature of the bulk material 20 via the temperature sensor 44 in the discharge section 3.
- a critical amount of heat transfer gas is achieved in the case of differential pressure monitoring, if, after a gradual increase in the Heat transfer gas amount has a maximum pressure loss between the buffer section 1 and the discharge section 3, measured by the differential pressure sensor 34 a, has set. In a temperature monitoring, the critical amount of heat transfer gas is reached when the temperature of the bulk material in the discharge section 3 during cooling of the bulk material 20 is minimal or becomes maximum during heating of the bulk material 20.
- the transport of bulk material through the heat exchanger tubes 7 can be monitored to determine a critical amount of heat transfer gas.
- This monitoring can be done for example by a visual inspection of a gas bubble formation in the heat exchanger tubes 7.
- the monitoring can be carried out by measuring the bulk transport of the bulk material through all heat exchanger tubes 7 or through certain heat exchanger tubes 7.
- the monitoring can also take place by measuring the speed of the bulk material transport through all or through specific heat exchanger tubes 7.
- a critical amount of heat transfer gas is achieved when, for the first time, gas bubbles form in the bulk material 20 transported in the tubes 7 or when an initial fluidization of the bulk material 20 is detected.
- a critical amount of heat transfer gas is reached when the measured bulk quantity transport is less than 90% of a heat transfer gas countercurrent-free bulk material transport.

- the heat transfer gas itself absorbs heat from the bulk material 20 or releases heat to the bulk material 20.
- the heat transfer gas is pre-cooled in the heat exchanger 32. If the bulk material 20 to be heated in the bulk material heat exchanger, the heat transfer gas is preheated in the heat exchanger 32. When the heat transfer gas is cooled, condensate occurring thereby can be deposited in the condensate separator 33.
- the amount of heat transfer gas to be set to achieve optimal heat transfer to the bulk material 20 may depend on the outlet temperature of the bulk material 20. This can after the bulk material heat exchanger Fig. 1 be taken into account. In this case, the temperature of the bulk material 20 in the discharge section 3 or in the downpipe 24 is determined by the temperature sensor 44. By appropriate control of the compressed gas generator 29 via the control device 45, the heat transfer gas quantity is then changed as a function of the measured temperature and of the actual output of the compressed gas generator 29, that is to say of the current gas quantity.

- the critical empty- tube gas velocity V Lg, kr increases with the particle density ⁇ P (cf. Fig. 8 ).
- the void volumes may result in a void fraction between the bulk particles which is typically between 30% and 70% and often between 35% and 60%.
- the bulk material 20 may have a typical mean particle diameter (diameter of a sphere of equal volume content) in the range between 0.5 mm and 15 mm, for example between 1 and 10 mm. Fines, rod or fine grain breakage are not taken into consideration here.
- the average particle diameter is in particular in the range of 2 mm to 6 mm.
- FIG. 2 Another embodiment of a bulk material heat exchanger is described below with reference to Fig. 2 described. Components which correspond to those described above with reference to the Fig. 1 have the same reference numbers and will not be discussed again in detail.
- a feeder rotary valve 46 directly upstream.
- the feed rotary valve 46 substantially seals the inlet connection 4 on the supply side.
- the delivery line 47 may be connected to the intake filter 31 and the suction line 30, so that overall a closed line system for guiding the heat carrier gas results.
- exhaust port 34 in the Fig. 1 and 2 has the buffer section 1 of the bulk material heat exchanger after Fig. 3 a concentric to the inlet nozzle 4 arranged exhaust gas ring line 49, which will pass from the coaxially arranged inlet nozzle 4.
- the ring line 49 or a correspondingly arranged concentric gap is in turn in fluid communication with a connecting line 50, which in turn ends below the suction funnel 36.
- a cone is arranged as a bulk material distribution unit 51.
- the tip 52 of the cone 51 faces the inlet nozzle 4.
- the tip 52 is centered below the mouth of the inlet nozzle 4 in the buffer section 1 arranged.
- the bulk material distribution unit 51 is rotationally symmetrical about a central longitudinal axis of the buffer section 1.
- a sighting gas supply line 53 opens.
- the latter is connected to a sighting gas feed device 54 in the form of another compressed gas generator.
- Viewing gas can be blown into the buffer section 1 via the sighting gas supply line 53, whereby the supplied bulk material 20 can be viewed.
- the heat transfer gas routing differs according to the bulk material heat exchanger Fig. 4 from the one after Fig. 1 in the following:
- the bulk material heat exchanger after Fig. 4 has no pressure gas generator (compare 29 gas pressure generator in the Fig. 1 ).
- the bulk material is after the heat exchangers Fig. 4 supplied via a sufficiently gastight rotary valve 46.
- the bulk material heat exchanger is missing Fig. 4 the open location 35.
- the exhaust port 34 is pressure-tight connected to the suction line 37.
- the suction gas generator 38 is the gas supply device.
- the heat transfer gas flowing through the bulk material 20 can in particular also bring about drying of the bulk material.
- the heat transfer gas can be pre-dried in the gas supply line 28.
- An example of the bulk 20 is pelleted animal feed having a bulk density of 650 kg / m 3 and a particle density of 1461 kg / m 3 .
- the resulting void volume fraction is 56%.
- the animal feed pellets are rod-shaped with a diameter of the rods of about 5 mm and a length of about 10 to 25 mm.
- the optimum empty-tube gas velocity for achieving efficient heat transfer from the bulk material 20 to the heat-transfer fluid is in the range from about 0.8 m / s to 1.4 m / s.
- the bulk material 20 is a granulated plastic granulate with a bulk density of 530 kg / m 3 and a solids density of 950 kg / m 3 . This results in a void volume fraction of 42%. The equivalent volume equal ball diameter of this granule is 3.8 mm.
- the bulk material 20 was cooled from a temperature of 90 ° to 95 ° C with the aid of cooling water at a temperature of about 20 ° to 30 ° C and it was injected various amounts of heat transfer gas.
- Typical heat conductivity values for the bulk material 20 are in the range between 0.05 and 0.25 W / mK, as long as the beds are not gas-flowed.
- heat exchanger gas In addition to air, other gases, in particular nitrogen, carbon dioxide, offgas, ie nitrogen contaminated with various hydrocarbons, and optionally also steam, can be used as the heat exchanger gas.
- gases in particular nitrogen, carbon dioxide, offgas, ie nitrogen contaminated with various hydrocarbons, and optionally also steam, can be used as the heat exchanger gas.
