Abstract

PURPOSE:To safely and surely control the diameter of sprayed liquid drops and to enhance productivity by eliminating the need for temporary shutdown for the purpose of exchanging nozzle parts without requiring the many nozzle parts and without requiring know-hows in the combination of the nozzle parts as compared with the conventional methods for controlling the diameter of the sprayed liquid drops by the in-liquid control within a pressure swiveling nozzle. CONSTITUTION:The pressurized two-fluid nozzle is constituted mainly of the pressure swiveling nozzle 6 for pressure blowing out of liquid and a jacket pipe 3 for high-speed blowing out of gas provided around the pressure swiveling nozzle 6. The front end of the jacket pipe 3 is designed to converge. The flow velocity of the high-velocity gas to be blown out is controlled while the liquid pressure in the pressure swiveling nozzle of this pressurized two-fluid nozzle is kept constant, by which the diameter of the liquid drop is controlled.

2. Description of the Related Art Spray dryers have conventionally used a rotating disk, a two-fluid fine particle injection nozzle, and a pressurized swirl nozzle. Rotating disks make it easy to change the particle size, switch between water and undiluted solution spraying, and change the throughput, but they require a high-speed rotating machine and are difficult to maintain. The two-fluid fine droplet spray nozzle is a so-called atomizing type that atomizes the stock solution with a high-speed air stream, but it requires a large amount of high-pressure air and has the disadvantage of high operating costs. Therefore, it is common to use pressurized swirl nozzles as much as possible.

A pressurized swirl nozzle swirls pressurized liquid and directs the liquid from an orifice through a conical ring (H) formed of a thin film.
The liquid film is ejected in the form of a hollow cone, and the liquid film is disturbed and split due to interaction with air at the tip edge of the conical ring, forming fine particles. With a pressurized swirl nozzle, the droplet diameter of the spray is adjusted by changing the pressure applied to the liquid, but since changing the pressure changes the liquid flow rate, it is necessary to combine the nozzle parts and adjust the spray pressure. , the droplet diameter is controlled by keeping the liquid flow rate constant.

[Operation] The pressurized two-fluid nozzle of the present invention is an improved version of the pressurized swirl nozzle, and therefore basically has the performance of the pressurized swirl nozzle. The empirical formulas (Equation 1 and Equation 2) regarding the spray characteristics applied to the pressurized swirl nozzle are as follows.

As is clear from Equations 1 and 2, once the spray pressure P is determined, the droplet diameter DD and the liquid flow rate W are uniquely determined, but when the liquid pressure P decreases, the liquid flow rate W becomes proportional to this. The droplet diameter DD increases inversely. This increased droplet diameter is further reduced to fine particles by a high-speed gas flow.

That is, the pressurized two-fluid nozzle has two stages of atomization.

[0013] As described above, since the cross-sectional area of the tip opening of the jacket pipe 3 in the pressurized two-fluid nozzle is small,
The high-speed gas is accelerated and expanded by the air nozzle 4 in this opening. Due to the acceleration and expansion of this gas, the primary atomized liquid in the thin film that is extruded from the orifice provided at the center of the tip of the pressure swirl nozzle 6 in a conical ring shape is further transformed into secondary atomization (secondary atomization). will be done. Here, as described above, there is a correlation between the droplet diameter of the secondary spray and the gas flow rate.

[0014] Specific experimental examples will be shown below. (Experimental Example 1) The relationship between gas flow rate and droplet diameter was experimentally confirmed under a constant liquid pressure condition. During the experiment, an SX nozzle manufactured by Spraying System Co., Ltd. was used as the pressurized swirl nozzle, room-temperature water was used as the liquid, and room-temperature air was used as the gas, and the water pressure in the pressurized swirl nozzle 6 was set at 3 kg. /cm
2. The flow rate of the blown air was varied by changing the air pressure inside the jacket pipe 3 while keeping it constant, and the air flow rate and the average water droplet diameter of the spray were measured. A particle size distribution analyzer using a laser light scattering method (manufactured by Tohnichi Computer Co., Ltd., model LDSA-1300A) was used to measure the water droplet diameter. Table 1 shows the conditions used in the experiment.

As is clear from the above, it can be seen from the above measurement results that the average water droplet diameter tends to decrease as the air flow rate increases. Furthermore, although it is not shown in this Table 2, the blowing air flow velocity is 20 to 200 m/s.
By adjusting within the range of , the jacket pipe 3
It was confirmed that the water droplet diameter of the spray can be controlled by adjusting the air pressure within the range of 0.05 to 5 kg/cm2, but the above is not limited to this, depending on the nozzle structure. It may be used outside the numerical range.
