Definitions
- This invention relates to the hydrocyclonic separation of a flowing slurry or the like into accepted and rejected fractions, and particularly to improvements therein achieving greater operating efliciency.
- the invention has special, though not limited, reference to hydrocyclone separators, used in paper making processes to separate clean, usable fibrous material from a flowing slurry which, in addition to the usable material, contains unwanted heavier particles and dirt.
- a device of the kind described comprises means defining a separating chamber circular in cross section and open at its opposite ends to define outlets for the respective fractions. Through an inlet at the accepts end the flowing slurry is introduced tangentially into the separating chamber in a manner to progress from one end to the other in a swirling helical motion. The accepts end is located to receive and guide an inner vortex in which is comprised the accepted fraction, the rejected fraction discharging through the opposite or rejects end of the separating chamber.
- accepts and rejects ends of the separating chamber are considered as providing for overflow and underflow of respective slurry portions. These terms, however, do not denote attitude limitations since the hydrocyclone can be mounted in any position which is convenient from an installation standpoint, the speed of movement of the slurry through the separator making the device operationally independent of gravity.
- the instant invention has in view the obtaining of a more thorough and precise separation between the acceptable and rejectable fractions in the separating chamber by creating a disturbing influence therein.
- the effect thereof is to reduce slurry consistency, particularly adjacent to the separator wall and to obviate the tendency of unwanted slurry particles to orbit within the separating chamber in conditions of equilibrium brought about by counteracting hydraulic and centrifugal forces.
- An object of the invention is to present a generally new and simplified method of achieving more efficient separation in a hydrocyclone.
- a further object of the invention is to present a method and apparatus in hydrocyclonic separators wherein means are provided exerting a disturbing influence within the separating chamber.
- Still another object of the invention is to achieve objectives as in the foregoing through means inhering in the structure of the separator.
- a still further object of the invention is to achieve operating efliciency as described in a separator especially characterized by simplicity of construction and by a useful life which is at least equal to that of standard hydrocylonic separators of the prior art.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a hydrocyclonic separator possessing the advantageous structural features, the inherent meritorious characteristics and the mode of operation herein mentioned.
- FIG. 1 is a view in longitudinal section of a hydrocyclonic separator in accordance with one illustrated embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2 is a view in cross section, taken substantially along the line 22 of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is an enlarged detail view of a created ledge in the separator
- FIG. 4 is a view in cross section, taken substantially along the irregular line 4-4 of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 5 is a fragmentary view in longitudinal section showing another illustrated form of the invention.
- the invention is disclosed in a hydrocyclone separator as used especially in the pulp and paper industry to enable high standards of paper cleanliness.
- the unit operates to separate the slurry into acceptable and rejectable fractions, directing these to respectively different outlets.
- the highest possible percentage of bark specks, dirt solids, fibre aggregates, shives and the like is excluded from the accepts outlet and directed as a part of the main slurry to the rejects outlet.
- the percentage of the pulp slurry reporting to the rejects outlet incorporates minor amounts of usable fibres and hence is desirably low.
- a hydrocyclonic separator comprises a device of unitary construction, as by being made of a plurality of sections bolted or otherwise secured together.
- a device 10 includes a body section 11 having the shape of a truncated cone, the interior of such body section being hollow to define a separating chamber ⁇ 12 and the opposite ends of such chamber opening through the 'base and apex ends thereof.
- a head section 13 mounted in generally superposed relation to the base end of section 11.
- the head section 13 comprises a cylindrical sleeve-like portion 14.
- the cylindrical portion 14 is formed with a longitudinal through bore 17. Received in the outer end of such bore is an expanded head portion 18 of a nozzle 19. A flange 2 1 on head portion 18 is drawn to a seat on the outer end of the cylindrical portion 14 by an internally threaded nut 22. The arrangement is one to hold 5 the assembly comprising cylindrical portion 14 and nozzle 19 in an assembled position relatively to one another and to the cone section 11. Further comprised in the nozzle 19 is an axial tube portion 23. Inwardly of the head portion 18 the tube 23 projects to a transverse plane defined by the juncture of the base end of the body section 11 and the inner end of the cylindrical sleeve portion 14.
- the tube 23 projects as an externally threaded connector 24 by which the device 10 is joined to outlet conduit means.
- the tube 23 is open throughout its length and occupies a position in bore v17 spaced from the wall thereof and defining therewith an annular chamber 25.
- the chamber 25 overlies and communicates with the separating chamber 12 and may be considered a part thereof.
- the annular chamber 25 is closed by head portion 18 of the nozzle 19.
- an inlet 26 communicating through a laterally projecting boss 27 with the exterior of the device 10, the boss 27 being adapted to be connected in a system to supply thereto a pulp slurry under pressure.
- the arrangement is one to introduce the pulp slurry into the cylindrical sleeve portion 14 tangentially of the wall of bore 17.
- the continued application of pressure at the inlet causes the pulp slurry to progress from the head section of the device through annular chamber into the base end of section -11 and thence through separating chamber 12 to the apex end of section 11 in a swirling, helical motion inducing centrifugal forces.
- the nozzle 19 serves in this connection as a vortex finder, the inner end of its tube 23 extending to receive the inner vortex and to conduct it out of the separating device, the outer end of the nozzle being adapted, 'as noted, for connection in a suit-able conduit to conduct the materials caught in the inner vortex to a subsequent process step.
- relatively light and desirable fibres from the liquid pulp slurry are gathered up by the inner vortex and conducted out through the head section 13 by way of nozzle 19. This comprises the accepted fraction, the remainder of the slurry leaving the separator through the apex end of the section 11 as the rejected fraction.
- the velocity of flow of the slurry accelerates rapidly and uniformly as it encounters the decreasing diameter of conical body section 11.
- the centrifugal action forcing heavier particles outward toward the wall of the separating chamber is greatly multiplied.
- a spiraling column moving in the opposite direction, is formed in the central region of the separating chamber, at the axis of which is a liquid free core.
- the light desirable pulp particles transfer from the outer vortex to the inner vortex and are directed thereby to and through the accepts nozzle 19.
- the device provides opposed components of flow directed respectively toward the base and apex ends of the separator chamber 12.
- a pressure differential from the outer chamber wall toward the center line or axis of the chamber 12 produces a movement of liquid in this direction, this being in conjunction with the downward component of liquid flow.
- Some dirt particles moving toward the outer wall under centrifugal influence may find themselves balanced by the involved forces. As a result, these particles assume a position of equilibrium and go into a more or less fixed orbit. Eventually these particles leave their orbits and appear, unpredictably, in the accepts or the rejects fractions. Also, when the slurry is introduced into the cleaner the pulp and dirt begin to move to the outside of the separator wall. The population of solids adjacent the chamber wall increases.
- Pulp material is separated or cleaned in stages and improvements in the efliciency of the hydrocyclone are desirable as reducing the number of required stages, as well as providing clean, conditioned pulp for the paper making process in as facile and economical a manner as possible.
- improved efficiency is achieved by creating a controlled turbulence in the slurry flow in the separating chamber 12 in an area within or beyond the inner end of nozzle 19.
- the flow disturbance has the effect of reducing consistency at the separator wall and of inhibiting orbiting by dirt particles.
- the bore 17 in cylindrical sleeve portion 14 is formed eccentrically of the sleeve axis.
- the annular chamber 25 and the separating chamber 12 proper accordingly are misaligned.
- the sleeve 14 is so positioned atop the base end of body section 11 as to align a segment of the wall of bore 17 with the wall of separating chamber 12. This occurs in the relatively thin wall portion of the sleeve 14 and the transfer of flowing slurry at this location from the annular chamber 25 to the chamber 12 proper is a relatively smooth and uninterrupted motion.
- the relatively thicker section of sleeve 14 under this mounting condition overlaps the engaged part of the base end of section 11 in such manner as to define in effect an arcuate, undercut or inverted ledge 28.
- the nozzle 19 is concentric to such axis. This is accomplished by forming in the outer end of the cylindrical sleeve portion 14 a counterbore 29 which is concentric with the axis of section 11 and which seats therein the head portion 18 of the nozzle 19.
- the bore 17 is eccentric troughout its length except for counterbore 29, and inlet 26 is positioned to be diametrically opposed to the portion of greater width of the ledge 28. Modifications of these arrangements are, of course, possible, particularly one placing the ledge 28 at any point along the length of the bore 17. Further, the arcuate distance of such ledge may be varied or it may in fact be continuous around the circumference of the base end of section 11.
- nozzle 19 and bore 17 may be made concentric with one another while section 11 is made ementric to both. This produces, selectively, either an upturned or down turned ledge corresponding to the ledge 28.
- the required degree of eccentricity is slight but if necessary more nearly to align the underfiow apex outlet with the overflow nozzle 23 the body section 11 may be caused to assume a slightly tilted position.
- the means of the invention has been described as operating to improve the efficiency of a hydrocyclone by inhibiting particle orbiting therein and by reducing consistency toward the separator wall. It is possible, however, that other operational factors are involved presently unknown. Thus no attempt is made exhaustively to analyze the effects produced by the invention in its various forms. It is known that efficiency improvements result and it has been the object herein merely to state some of the likely or probable causes therefor without excluding others.
- rejection rate by which is meant the percentage of slurry discharged through the rejects outlet under given conditions of pressure, stock consistency, temperature and the like, the instant invention affords distinct and substantial advantages.
- the rejection rate is significantly lower at elevated pulp temperatures. It is well established that heretofore the higher the temperature of pulp in a pulp mill the greater will be the rejection rate. In direct test comparisons, it has been shown that a standard separator has been adversely affected by increases in pulp temperature, the rejection rate more than tripling under comparatively modest temperature rises as from 90 F. to 111 F. A separator of the instant invention, however, operating under the same conditions, has its reject rate relatively unaffected by the temperature rise. Thus, from a practical standpoint, the separator with the eccentric bore in the head has substantial advantages over a standard device. It is capable of operating to greater advantage over a wide range of temperatures. Also it is more efiicient.
- the turbulence created in the upper part of the separator chamber prevents matting of the fibers as they move down the inner wall of the cone section. Since the consistency of the layer near the well is lower with the eccentric head cleaner, there are fewer collisions between a dirt particle making its way to the wall and the fibres which lie therebetween.
- FIG. 5 hereof shows, in partly diagrammatic form, a separator body 31 comprising concentric head and cone sections 32 and 33.
- a crescent shaped segment 34 is installed in the head section 32 in a generally opposed relation to an inlet 35 and in a manner presenting a ledge 36 over which the slurry discharges in a part of the circumference of the head in passing into the cone section.
- the invention is applicable not only to separators having cylindrical head and conical body sections, but also to separators of single configuration.
- a form of separator in common use defines throughout its length a single section of a cone. The base end thereof serves as the head and may be constructed in accordance with any of the foregoing examples to achieve the instantly provided ledge.
- the invention contemplates a fully conical separator, respective sections of which may be eccentrically offset to produce a fiow disturbing ledge as provided by the present invention.
