Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spraying system having a plurality of nozzles, preferably on a frame construction, wherein the nozzles are arranged so that the spray cone of adjacent nozzles partially overlap.
  • the Bedüsungssystem is particularly suitable for binding dust, but can also be used for cooling of machinery or workpieces.
  • Bedüsungssysteme be used in underground mining, especially in dust, firedamp and hazardous areas, for example, on roadheaders in stretch drives.
  • a plurality of juxtaposed spray nozzles from each of which a directed to the hazardous area beam exits from a water-mist mixture ignitions of explosive gas-air mixtures can be avoided or already ignited gas-air mixtures are deleted.
  • spraying systems are used in tunneling, in the production of minerals, in dust-producing construction measures, loading and unloading processes and in cleaning processes.
  • a spraying system which has proven itself in the mining industry, is from the DE 298 19 980 U1 known.
  • This spraying system has a multiplicity of atomizer nozzles arranged next to one another, from each of which a jet directed towards the endangered area emerges.
  • the atomizer nozzles are designed as mist nozzles, which act in a compressed air Air chamber are used and each having a nozzle body whose nozzle bore is connected via radially or at an acute angle to the axis of the nozzle bore extending air supply ducts with the air chamber.
  • a pressurized water spray nozzle is provided which generates a running in the longitudinal direction of the nozzle bore water jet, wherein the pressure of the pressurized water is higher than that of the compressed air.
  • This spraying system has proven itself in mining in and of itself, but is not always sufficient in terms of its performance in the deposition of dry dusts and cooling of the corresponding machines.
  • a particular problem is the development of dust in modern tunneling.
  • Modern tunnel boring machines are often full-cut machines and dismantle the entire tunnel cross-section in one work step.
  • a large part of the mined material is converted into small-scale forms, producing dust in large quantities.
  • To bind the dust is sprayed on spraying water.
  • This spraying device is particularly suitable for cooling the excavation tool and the working front, but has little influence on the dust released into the environment, which accumulates and at a certain concentration leads to interruption of work.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the known Bedüsungsvoriquesen so that they ensure adequate cooling of the work tools and efficiently precipitate the resulting dust on the work front.
  • the work stoppages are to be minimized, the work environment for the operating staff are made bearable.
  • nozzles are two-fluid nozzles, where air and water in a pressure ratio of 1: 1 to 2: 1, preferably 1.1: 1.6, is supplied the water supply of each nozzle is arranged axially and leads into a nozzle element arranged in a mixing chamber, the air supply leads into the mixing chamber and the radiation of the spray from the mixing chamber of each nozzle takes place in a cone.
  • the spraying system according to the invention serves primarily for binding and precipitation of dust and, moreover, also for cooling work tools and the working front. It can be used in mining and tunneling, in the extraction of minerals, in the cleaning of surface, as well as in construction and demolition.
  • the spraying system preferably has a frame construction in which a plurality of nozzles is embedded.
  • the frame construction may be, for example, a linear construction with two or more nozzles, but also a combination of several subframes which are configured to one another as required. These sub-frames may be arranged, for example, around a working head.
  • Particularly advantageous is an embodiment in which the frame construction consists of two sub-frames, each of which has approximately trapezoidal shape, in which the long base side is missing.
  • the two trapezoidal substructures are with their open side placed opposite each other, for example, around the working area of a tunnel boring machine.
  • the nozzles are arranged in particular on the frame construction in such a way that the spraying cones of adjacent nozzles partially overlap. This means that, for example, the working area of a machine can be completely enclosed or acted upon by a spray mist.
  • the nozzles are two-fluid nozzles, to which air and water are supplied.
  • the nozzles are designed so that air and water are swirled together and delivered in the form of a spray. It has been shown that the spray becomes finer with increasing air pressure.
  • the pressure ratio of air to water is in the range of 1: 1 to 2: 1, preferably 1.1: 1 to 1.6: 1.
  • nozzles are used in which the water supply extends axially into each nozzle and leads into a nozzle element arranged in a mixing chamber.
  • the nozzle element itself is preferably formed as a spiral element.
  • the air supply preferably takes place axially into the mixing chamber, in which air and water are swirled together.
  • the outlet of the water-air mixture takes place through outlet nozzles, which are arranged so that the spray takes place as a hollow or full cone.
  • air and water are passed in parallel into the nozzles so that they enter the mixing chamber in the same direction.
  • the water jet receives a twist and is fed laterally into the air flow.
  • air-water mixture can be accelerated up to supersonic speed and subsequently defined relaxed. This achieves optimum atomization fineness and good controllability.
  • a higher air than water pressure is recommended for fine drop sizes;
  • an air pressure that greatly exceeds the water pressure, detrimental to the Ausbringrate and for dust deposition, especially on the exiting air can cause further turbulence of the dust. Therefore, a ratio of air pressure to water pressure of 2: 1 is an upper limit.
  • the nozzles are embedded in the frame structure via nozzle holders.
  • This arrangement has the advantage that the nozzles on the one hand can be easily removed and cleaned, on the other hand, but also can be easily replaced by nozzles of a different spray characteristics.
  • the spraying system can thus generate a very narrow injection field directed inwards, or else a wide spray field that surrounds a working area in a circle encloses it, as it were.
  • the frame construction is formed from hollow profiles into which the nozzle holders are embedded. It serves a hollow profile of the water supply and the other of the air duct.
  • the hollow sections are expediently arranged on top of one another, the nozzle holders being embedded in the lower hollow profile for the air guidance and the nozzles inserted therein projecting with their water inlet into the upper hollow profile for the water supply.
  • the nozzles preferably produce an oval spray field in the solid cone whose outer end or outer ends overlap with the oval spray fields of adjacent nozzles.
  • more outlet openings are arranged around a central outlet opening for the spray in a circle at an angle to the longitudinal axis.
  • the spray angles may vary depending on the application and spray field characteristics.
  • the central outlet opening is missing.
  • the spraying system according to the invention is connected to a central control unit which controls the air and water supply either individually for each individual nozzle or over the frame construction and the nozzle holders.
  • a control can be tuned, for example, to the running time of a machine connected to it, such that a spray is emitted when the machine is running, depending on the intensity of the machine activity. Spraying may continue for a while after the machine is turned off.
  • the water flow is suitably about 0.5 to 5 l / min. per nozzle and preferably 1.5 to 3.5 l / min.
  • the air consumption is usually in the range of 25 to 75 Nm 3 / h per nozzle.
  • the spraying system according to the invention is intended in particular for use in mining and tunneling. It can be used advantageously together with a tunnel boring machine or a tunneling machine in track construction, also for explosion protection.
