Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing drops with a narrow size distribution from liquids.
- liquids are both clear liquids and solutions, e.g. Metal melts and flowable dispersions, e.g. Suspensions.
- the production of drops from liquids is often described with the term "atomization”.
- Common atomization processes used on an industrial scale are spraying with pressure in single-component pressure nozzles, e.g. Hollow cone nozzles, atomization with a gas in two-substance nozzles or with pneumatic atomizers, and atomization with rotary atomizers.
- the invention relates to the latter principle of the method.
- narrow droplet size distributions are desirable.
- spray dryers must be dimensioned according to the largest drop in the spray, since these drops require the longest dwell times for drying.
- a broad range of drops means, despite the smaller average drop size, large and therefore disadvantageous dimensions.
- the finest drops in the spray make great efforts in cleaning the exhaust air in the form of filters and cyclones or similar devices necessary.
- a wide range of droplet sizes also leads to a broad particle size distribution of the spray-dried powder produced and thus in some cases to undesirable technical properties.
- the droplet diameter is defined in this text as the mean droplet size d 5Q , in which the 50% - Volume distribution value is reached; ie that 50% of the sprayed liquid volume takes on smaller - and 50% of the sprayed liquid volume larger drop diameters than d 50 .
- the atomizers commonly used in spray drying consist of a flat cylindrical body, usually referred to as a disk atomizer, which usually has 10-50 bores or channels. In the case of bores, these generally have diameters in the range from 5 to 30 mm.
- the liquid is often fed into the body centrally, flows radially outwards and leaves the atomizer through the holes to the outside.
- the design has the advantage that the relatively large flow-through bores generally do not become blocked, the throughput for large-scale industrial applications is selected so high that the liquid emerges from the bores in thick turbulent jets. Due to the high relative velocity of liquid and the ambient gas, the strands of liquid already emerging from the openings are broken up.
- Holes in the wall of a rotating hollow cylindrical body (cylinder) is set to a comparatively very low and the same value.
- a large number of bores is required in order to achieve technically desired throughputs.
- the liquid flows in a laminar manner at suitable low throughputs in the bores, so that a laminar jet decay occurs at the outlet of the bores.
- the diameter of the holes can, provided that the throughput per hole remains the same and if sufficient hole lengths are provided, can surprisingly be changed within wide limits without any noticeable influence on the drop size. In this way, surprisingly fine droplets with a narrow size distribution can be produced at comparatively low speeds and comparatively large bores with a low tendency to clog.
- the drop size is determined to a high degree by the throughput and the number of bores, to an astonishingly small extent by the atomizer speed and to a very small extent by the liquid density and the surface tension.
- the low flow velocity in the bores also has the advantage that hardly any wear occurs.
- the minimum throughput per bore results from the lower limit that is required for jet formation.
- the throughput per bore is based on measurements for low-viscosity liquids:
- V ß 16 ( ⁇ 5 D / a3 J p5 D ) 0 u '25 0
- the Reynolds number can be determined from the liquid throughput
- the uniformity parameter of the RRSB distribution lies in the range of 6 ⁇ m ⁇ 8, which is characteristic of laminar beam decay.
- the invention now relates to a method for atomizing liquids with the aid of rotating Hollow cylinders with holes in the cylinder wall, characterized in that the liquid is distributed evenly inside the cylinder to the inner cylinder wall and on the holes and that the volume flow of the liquid per hole in the area
- V ß means the volume flow of the liquid per hole
- D_ the diameter of the holes
- a - the centrifugal acceleration on the outer cylinder surface
- p - the density of the liquid
- ⁇ - the surface tension of the liquid
- D means the diameter of the outer cylinder surface and n - the speed of the cylinder.
- the total volume flow V results from the volume flow V "per hole, times the number N of holes in the cylinder.
- the invention also relates to a method that is characterized in that in addition to the cylinder Liquid gases are also introduced.
- the liquid can be introduced into the cylinder, for example, with a tube which is arranged above a baffle plate which rotates with the cylinder.
- the baffle plate is expediently arranged in the middle of the cylinder height and fastened to the bottom of the cylinder.
- the liquid emerges from the tube in the form of a jet, is thrown outwards through the baffle plate and thus onto the inner cylinder surface and is thus distributed over the holes.
- the uniform distribution of the liquid on the inner cylinder surface can be done particularly easily by spraying with single-component nozzles or with pneumatic atomizing nozzles, often also called dual-substance nozzles.
- Single-substance nozzles which produce a conical spray jet have proven particularly advantageous.
- Another advantageous possibility of distributing the liquid inside the cylinder is to spray it with concentrically arranged rotating nozzles, in particular flat jet nozzles, inside the cylinder.
- the invention relates to a method, characterized in that the liquid is sprayed into the cylinder with a single-substance nozzle or with a pneumatic atomizing nozzle and is thus distributed evenly over the inner cylinder surface and the bores, and a method in that is characterized in that the liquid is sprayed into the cylinder via one or more rotating nozzles.
- the invention also relates to a method in which the nozzle generates a hollow-cone spray.
- An advantageous device for carrying out the method according to the invention consists of a hollow cylinder in the wall of which a large number, at least 200, in the simplest case cylindrical bores are made for liquid throughputs which can be used in practice.
- the cylinder is closed at the bottom with a bottom and bounded at the top with a lid with a central opening. This prevents the liquid from escaping axially.
- the diameter of the bores in the cylinder wall should be such that, on the one hand, the largest possible number can be accommodated on the cylinder surface, and on the other hand clogging of the bores by adequate dimensions is still avoided.
- the division of the bores should be as narrow as possible so that the largest possible number of bores can be made in the cylinder jacket. A sufficient length of the holes ensures that all droplets from the atomizing nozzles are deposited in the holes and flow together to form a liquid channel.
- Typical ratios of pitch t of the bores on the outer cylinder jacket to diameter D_ of the bores are in the range 1.1 ⁇ t / D ß ⁇ 5.
- the minimum division results from the strength of the body which is still sufficient for the required speed.
- the minimum diameter of the holes should not be less than
- a 2 ⁇ 2 D n2 mean the centrifugal acceleration on the outer surface of the cylinder with the diameter D, ⁇ - the surface tension of the liquid, p - the density of the liquid. Due to this choice of diameter, the full cross section of the bore is not filled with liquid; rather, the effect of the Coriolis acceleration forms a liquid channel similar to the flow in a partially filled sewer pipe with a slight incline. Although there is no maximum value for the bore diameter, it makes sense not to use the maximum diameter for medium droplet sizes d ⁇ n > 100 ⁇ m
- cylindrical bores for rectangular and triangular holes and holes with several V-shaped channels, an expression for the hydraulic depth of the channel can be determined and a condition for sufficient laminarity can be obtained. As for cylindrical bores, conditions can also be set up to avoid blockages and to achieve a sufficient number of channels.
- a particularly even distribution of the liquid current with the low throughput per bore typical for the method takes place in a device in which the bore edges on each bore are raised inwards by the same amount. This results in a cylindrical liquid level in the rotating cylinder. When more liquid is added, it flows evenly over the raised edges of the holes into the holes.
- Such a device can be produced in a simple manner by inserting small tubes into the initially larger bores in the cylinder wall, all of which protrude internally by the same amount over the inner cylinder wall.
- Another possibility for producing a device with internally raised bore edges consists in introducing grooves in the direction of the cylinder generator and grooves in the circumferential direction between the bores in the interior of the cylinder. This method is particularly suitable for holes that are arranged in a rectangular division.
- the invention also relates to a device for atomizing liquids with a rotating hollow cylinder which is closed on the lower side by a bottom and is delimited on the upper side by a lid with a central opening, characterized by bores with the diameter D "in the Cylinder wall a bore pitch t on the outer cylinder surface in the range of 1.1 D ß ⁇ t ⁇ 5 D ß , a ratio of bore length L- to the bore diameter D ß of at least

- the invention also relates to a device for atomizing liquids with hollow rotating cylinders, which are characterized in that the edges of the bores in the interior of the cylinder are raised and protrude by the same amount over the inner cylinder surface.
- the bores in the cylinder, in the plane of rotation have an inclination towards the radial direction.
- the turbulence of the strand of liquid flowing out in the bore can be reduced by the fact that the outwardly elongated bore axes at the point of intersection with the outer cylinder surface form an angle ⁇ ⁇ 90 ° (forward inclination) against the vector of the peripheral speed, so that the rotation creates a liquid jam in the bore. This measure reduces the acceleration effective in the axial direction of the bores.
- the angle ⁇ > 90 ° should be chosen (backward inclination) to avoid sedimentation of solid particles.
- the higher viscosity ensures sufficient laminarity of the flow even at ⁇ > 90 °.
- the holes can be straight but also curved.
- the invention relates to a device which is characterized by bores, the extension of the bore axes beyond the outer cylinder surface, all taking the same angle ⁇ in the range 10 ° ⁇ ⁇ 170 ° against the vector of the peripheral speed, and a device which thereby is characterized in that the bore axes, which are elongated beyond the outer cylinder surface, are inclined by the angle ⁇ in the range 0 ⁇ ⁇ 80 ° relative to the plane of rotation.
- Irregularities in the distribution of the liquid on the inner cylinder wall and on the bores can be avoided by a rotationally symmetrical distributor body which is installed concentrically in the cylinder and whose diameter increases towards the bottom of the cylinder.
- a distributor body which is fastened in the cylinder is particularly simple to carry out. If the distributor body is made to rotate independently of the cylinder, a favorable speed of the distributor body for distributing the liquid in the cylinder can be set at any speed of the cylinder.
- a particularly advantageous embodiment of a distributor body consists of a body which has grooves on its surface which run in the circumferential direction, so that a plurality of circular flinging edges arise. As a result, liquid components are thrown away at different heights in the direction of the inner cylinder surface. This causes the liquid distribution to be evened out.
- An advantageous embodiment of a distributor body consists of circular plates, which are assembled with spacers between the plates. In this embodiment, the diameter and spacing of the circular plates can be easily changed in accordance with the requirements for the distribution of the liquid fed into the cylinder.

- the invention also relates to a device for atomizing liquids with hollow cylinders, characterized by bores in the cylinder wall, the edges of which are raised inside the cylinder and protrude by the same amount over the inner cylinder surface.
- the same throughput through each bore in the cylinder can be especially with liquids that are not solid particles included, can also be achieved by a cylindrical porous layer with a uniform wall thickness, which is located on the inside of the cylinder.
- a cylindrical porous layer with a uniform wall thickness which is located on the inside of the cylinder.
- filter layers or porous sintered bodies are suitable.
- Irregularities in the spray pattern of the nozzles can also be compensated for by baffles built into the cylinder.
- the baffles can rotate with the cylinder or rotate in a different direction or speed than the cylinder. They bring about a radial and axial distribution of the liquid in the cylinder.
- Particularly advantageous embodiments of these baffles consist in co-rotating, concentrically drilled cylinders fastened in the cylinder, in spirally arranged perforated sheets or in wire mesh.
- the mesh size or the size of the holes in the baffles should be larger than the diameter of the holes in the cylinder.
