Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for mixing a fluid and a liquid, in particular for introducing carbon dioxide into a water-containing beverage, consisting of a combination part and a subsequent inline mixing part with turbulence generator designs.
  • a fluid is understood to mean a gas, a liquid, a gas mixture, a liquid mixture and / or a gas / liquid mixture. Accordingly, liquid also means liquid mixtures.
  • Devices of the type in question in the embodiment for introducing carbon dioxide into a water-containing beverage are referred to as carbonation systems.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned in such a way that a constant entry effect is achieved with changing throughput within wide limits.
  • the present invention teaches that the union consists of a cylinder wall forming at least one infusion chamber with an upstream fluid supply opening and at least one downstream radial bore for injecting the liquid, the cross section of which can be adjusted through the outer edge of an axially adjustable chamber end plate provided with discharge openings.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that in the course of injecting the liquid into the fluid via radial bores with an adjustable cross-section, a constant mixing effect with varying throughput can be achieved.
  • the device according to the invention has proven itself in the course of practical testing and allows adjustment or adaptation to varying throughputs in a much simpler manner.
  • the chamber end plate has a collar-shaped outer edge that tapers towards the direction of flow.
  • the mixing effect is further promoted if the discharge openings are designed as orifices. Since it cannot be ruled out that contamination fix between cylinder wall and outer edge, it is provided according to a preferred embodiment that the cylinder wall is provided below the radial bores lying in one plane with a circumferential cleaning groove, the height of which is greater than that of the outer edge; by correspondingly lowering the chamber end plate into the area of the cleaning groove, the chamber end plate is then also flowed around and cleaned at the outer edge.
  • an infusion chamber in the union part may already be sufficient.
  • the fluid above the saturation equilibrium is then introduced into the first chamber, so that a two-phase mixture is formed which also benefits from noise reduction;
  • the mixture is then diluted back to the desired fluid concentration.
  • the chamber end plates of all infusion chambers are expediently fastened to a common central actuating rod, so that only one single actuation is required to adjust the chamber end plates of all infusion chambers.
  • the liquid can be supplied easily and in a particularly simple manner via an annular space which surrounds the cylinder wall in the region of the radial bore.
  • the fluid supply opening opening into the first infusion chamber can also be provided in the cylinder wall, so that an actuator can be attached to the actuating rod at the upstream end of the cylinder wall.
  • the actuating rod can then either depending on an external signal (pressure, flow, etc.) or an internal system pressure, for. B. can be controlled via a control membrane located at the upstream end of the cylinder wall.
  • the inline mixing part consists of one or, depending on the throughput, also a plurality of parallel, axially flowed-through annular chambers which have complementary turbulence generator designs on their mutually facing lateral surfaces by means of axial relative adjustment of the assigned lateral surfaces then result in changeable passage cross sections and swirl chambers.
  • the outer annular chamber of the inline mixing part can preferably be formed by an extension of the cylinder wall and an additional cylinder arranged axially adjustable therein.
  • the additional cylinder is also attached to the actuating rod, i. H. that the inline mixing part is adjustable together with the union part.
  • the turbulence generator designs can consist of radial flanges, with the aid of which the inline mixing part can be adjusted into a closed position. Turbulence generator designs that have a sawtooth-shaped profile when viewed in the direction of flow are particularly suitable.
  • the device shown in the figures is used to mix a fluid and a liquid, in particular to introduce carbon dioxide into a water-containing beverage.
  • the device consists of a union part 1 and a subsequent inline mixing part 2, the latter consisting of at least one ring chamber 4 with an essentially axial flow and having turbulence generator designs 3.
  • the union part 1 consists of a cylinder wall 5, which initially forms a first infusion chamber 6.
  • a fluid supply opening 7 is provided on the upstream side, while underneath, i. H.
  • a plurality of radial bores 8 are provided downstream in one plane for injecting the liquid.
  • the cross section of these radial bores 8 provided in one plane is adjustable through the outer edge 9 of an axially adjustable chamber end plate 11 provided with discharge openings 10.
  • the chamber end plate 11 has a collar-shaped outer edge 9 which tapers towards the direction of flow.
  • the discharge openings 10 are designed as aperture bores.
  • the cylinder wall 5 is also provided with a circumferential cleaning groove 13, the height of which is greater than that of the outer edge 9.
  • the cylinder wall 5 In the area of the radial bores 8 for the supply of the liquid, the cylinder wall 5 is surrounded by an annular space 18 which supplies the liquid.
  • This annular space 18 is formed by a further cylinder wall 19 and annular separating flanges 20.
  • This further cylinder wall 19 also contains the supply ports 27, 21 and 22 for the fluid, the liquid and the discharge of the mixture. Accordingly, the fluid supply opening 7 is provided in the first-mentioned cylinder wall 5, while the upstream end of this cylinder wall is closed by a control membrane or an actuator 23 to which the actuating rod 18 is attached.
  • the outer annular chamber 4 of the inline mixing part 2 is formed by an extension 24 of the cylinder wall 5 and an additional cylinder 25 arranged axially adjustable therein, the extension 24 and the additional cylinder 25 having complementary turbulence generator designs 3 in the form of radial flanges 26 on their mutually facing lateral surfaces.
  • the additional cylinder 25 is also attached to the actuating rod 17.
  • the inline mixing part 2 can be adjusted into a closed position be. This is illustrated by FIGS. 2 to 5.
  • the turbulence generator designs 3 are formed from rectangular flanges.
  • the turbulence generator designs 3 have a triangular cross section.
  • the radial flanges 26 are formed by intermediate semicircular recesses.
  • a sawtooth-shaped design is selected.
  • the inline mixing part 2 each has only one annular chamber 4, two parallel or concentric annular chambers 4, 40 are provided in the embodiment according to FIG. 6.
  • the inner annular chamber 40 is formed by the additional cylinder 25 and a central cylinder insert 28 guiding the adjusting rod 17.
