Definitions
- Bulk goods silo the bottom of which comprises an air-permeable fiber layer for the finely distributed passage of air from a compressed air supply chamber arranged below it into the silo space above, in order to make at least one bulk material layer lying directly on the floor flowable in such a way that it becomes a pressure release location (e.g. an outlet opening ) is able to move.
- a pressure release location e.g. an outlet opening
- the amount of gas per unit area passing through the ventilation device of a silo floor depends on the pressure in the air supply chamber located under the ventilation floor, on the throttle resistance of the ventilation floor and on the counter pressure.
- the back pressure is determined by the resistance that the air that has passed into the silo space or the bulk material fluidized by this air finds on the way to the next relaxation location. This resistance depends on the distance to the place of relaxation. If the point of relaxation is formed by the silo outlet or an outlet chamber, this resistance for the material in floor areas remote from the outlet is substantially greater than for those closer to the outlet.
- the object of the invention is therefore to create a bulk material silo in which the air-permeable fiber layer has an increase in the flow resistance towards the outlet opening.
- the solution according to the invention is that the width of the fiber interspaces of the air-permeable fiber layer, which determines the flow resistance, decreases along the path of the good movement to the relaxation location.
- this is accomplished by having a given air-permeable fiber layer the spaces between the fibers are narrowed differently in some areas, in such a way that this has a permanent character. If the fiber layer consists of thermoplastic material or contains thermoplastic material, this can be done by heat treatment with or without compression, the different narrowing being achieved by the confluence of the fibers and / or different compression.
- the fiber interstices that are available for the passage of the loosening gas are partially filled to different degrees, preferably by introducing an impregnation, i.e. of a substance that can be introduced in the liquid state, solidifies on the spot and then closes a more or less large proportion of the pore cross section.
- an impregnation i.e. of a substance that can be introduced in the liquid state
- fine-grained or dust-like solid can also be introduced, which partially clogs the pores.
- the narrowing of the fiber interspaces does not need to cover the entire thickness of the fiber layer in order for the desired throttling effect to be achieved. Since the techniques explained above require a very fine grading of the pressing pressure or the pressing temperatures or the amount of substance to be introduced, and since it can be easier to achieve a high degree of sealing in places instead, a further variant of the invention provides that the fiber layer has small, contains completely or to a large extent closed positions and the proportion of these positions is different in some areas, while the surface areas surrounding these locations remain unaffected and therefore have the same flow resistance per unit area in different areas.
- the closed places can have a geometrically regular or irregular shape.
- a large number of very small pressing points can be distributed over the surface of the fiber layer, in which the interstices between the fibers are closed or reduced by hot pressing.
- the different proportion of these points in the total area can be varied by varying their density or their size. They can be completely separate from one another or can also combine to form strips. Particularly advantageous is the shape of fine strips which lead in the direction of the outlet and whose width increases towards the outlet and / or whose distance from the outlet decreases. It is not necessary for the pore cross section to be completely closed in these places. However, it should be reduced at least as much as is desirable for the total area in the areas closest to the outlet.
- the floor of a silo room 1 is formed above the load-bearing concrete floor 2 by a ventilation device which consists of so-called ventilation boxes which contain an air supply space 3 below an air-permeable layer 4.
- a ventilation device which consists of so-called ventilation boxes which contain an air supply space 3 below an air-permeable layer 4.
- this has a fiber layer 4, for example a nonwoven or woven fabric made of polyester fibers.
- Compressed air can be supplied to the air supply space 3 from a blower (not shown) via the line 5. It penetrates through the air-permeable layer 4 into the silo space, finely distributed.
- the bulk material stored in the silo near the floor is either aerated over the entire floor area or partially in one or more floor sections and thus brought into a liquid-like state.
- the loosening air is to be supplied to the discharge areas 7 at a higher pressure than the discharge areas 8.
- the invention has recognized that it depends on the pressure above the air-permeable layer 4, and therefore sees a different throttling of the air within the air-permeable layer 4 before.
- the air-permeable layer 4 is designed in such a way that the flow resistance, indicated by the arrows 10, is correspondingly greater in the area 8 near the outlet than in the area 7 remote from the outlet.
- the flow resistance increases continuously from the outside to the inside, so that no pressure gradations are formed. which can give rise to undesirable phenomena. In many cases, however, a gradual change in the flow resistance along the material path to the outlet is sufficient.
- thermoplastic fabric for example polyester fabric
- the air-permeable layer is subjected to a treatment which closes or constricts a part of the fabric interstices.
- a bridge 13 running on rails 12 is provided above a row of tissue webs 11 to be treated, which bridge is equipped with spray nozzles 14 (left illustration) or a radiant heater 15 (right illustration) and with variable feed above the webs 11 in their Is movable in the longitudinal direction.
- the spray nozzles spray an impregnating agent with constant power, which after drying in the fabric 11 more or less closes its pores depending on the application thickness.
- the radiant heater 15 softens the thermoplastic fibers and thereby causes them to partially flow together, likewise with the effect of narrowing the flow cross-sections. In both cases, the extent of the effect depends on the duration of exposure and thus on the feed rate.
- the air permeability of the fabric 11 can thus be adjusted by suitably controlling the feed rate of the bridge. For example, the treatment can be started with a high feed rate at one end of the webs 11 or within the end at a certain distance therefrom in order to end at the other end with a low feed rate.
- the web is provided with a pattern of densified points of increased flow resistance.
- 3 in the form of strips 16 which run in the longitudinal direction, in the example of FIG. 4 they are formed as points 17.
- these strips retain a minimum permeability which corresponds to the value desired in the vicinity of the outlet, so that the area 8 near the outlet is covered 100% with densified areas, while the density in the other areas is correspondingly lower.
- the points 17 have almost no air permeability, but they are so small and are so far apart from one another that a sufficiently uniform air distribution is nevertheless achieved.
- a discontinuous increase in the flow resistance is provided in a total of five fields. Such a gradation is sufficiently close to the ideal of continuous change in many cases. There may be cases in which it is even sufficient to arrange only two zones of different flow resistance one behind the other on the way to the outlet.
- the increase in flow resistance can be linear from outside to inside. A disproportionate increase is generally preferred. Suitable values can easily be determined by experiment on a case-by-case basis.
