Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for obtaining a liquid from an aerosol, in particular a device for obtaining water from mist, with at least one textile deposition element for separating liquid particles contained in the aerosol.
  • An aerosol is a disperse system in which small, liquid and / or solid particles are distributed substantially evenly in a gaseous medium.
  • a separation can be brought about procedurally in that a porous deposition element is introduced into the aerosol, wherein a relative movement between the deposition element and the aerosol leads to the separation element being flowed through by the aerosol.
  • liquid particles contained in the aerosol adhere to the deposition element and in the process join together with other adhering liquid particles, so that ever increasing liquid droplets form. These liquid drops can then be drained and collected to form a reusable liquid.
  • the possible amount of liquid to be extracted depends on the flow rate of the aerosol through the deposition element and on the degree of separation.
  • the degree of separation is a relative indication which indicates the proportion of the amount of liquid deposited on the total amount passed through the deposition element. If, therefore, larger amounts of liquid are to be obtained, the precipitation element must have a high degree of separation and a large area. In order to achieve a high degree of separation, it is necessary, in particular, to prevent liquid particles from initially settling on the deposition element, but then, in particular at relatively high relative speeds, being detached from the deposition element and carried away. In addition, the deposition element should hinder the throughput of the aerosol through the deposition element as little as possible under given external conditions.
  • a textile is understood to mean a composite of fibers, wherein a fiber is a thin and flexible structure in relation to the length.
  • Known textile deposition elements have a woven structure or a mesh structure, wherein mesh structures can be in particular knitted or knitted fabrics.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a device for obtaining a liquid from an aerosol which can be operated at high relative speeds between the aerosol and the precipitation element.
  • the object is achieved in a device of the type mentioned by the fact that the deposition element is designed as a three-dimensional textile structure.
  • Conventional textile structures such as knitted fabrics, knitted fabrics and woven fabrics, have a substantially two-dimensional basic structure. That is, the fibers used (unless the textile structure is bent, kinked or folded) extend substantially along a plane.
  • a three-dimensional textile structure has sections in which the fibers have a pronounced directional component perpendicular to a plane along which the textile structure extends as such.
  • the surface areal fiber density of the textile deposition element can be reduced while the deposition surface remains the same, which results in the forces acting on the deposition element due to the flowing aerosol being reduced with the same degree of separation.
  • the risk of damage or destruction of the deposition element at a constant degree of deposition is effectively reduced, especially at higher relative speeds.
  • the flow rate of aerosol can be increased in otherwise constant conditions, resulting in the recovery of a larger amount of liquid.
  • the three-dimensional textile structure is formed as a thermoforming textile.
  • a deep-drawn textile is a textile, which in a conventional manner initially as essentially two-dimensional Textile and then, for example, using heat and or pressure, is deformed in a mold so that it receives a permanent three-dimensional structure.
  • the flow-through surface of the deposition element can be substantially increased compared to the original two-dimensional textile. In this way, a deposition element can be formed in a simple manner that can be flowed through well by the aerosol, but at the same time has a high degree of deposition.
  • the thermoforming textile comprises a woven structure or a mesh structure.
  • the preparation of the thermoforming textile is carried out in a simple manner by first producing a two-dimensional fabric or a two-dimensional knitted or knitted fabric, which is subsequently deformed three-dimensionally.
  • thermoforming textile has a coarse-meshed or coarsely woven structure. In this way, a good flowability of the deposition element can be ensured in a simple manner. In a coarse-meshed or coarsely woven structure, freely flowable areas are inside the structure itself.
  • the thermoforming textile has a flow-through surface which, compared to the surface of a two-dimensional textile from which the thermoforming textile is made, increases at least by a factor of 1, 2, preferably at least a factor of 1, 5, particularly preferably a factor of 2 is. This results in a significant improvement in the flowability.
  • the thermoforming textile has three-dimensionally formed elements projecting on a base surface, for example knob-shaped elements.
  • the base area corresponds to the area of the original two-dimensional textile. Parts of this base area are not deformed during deep-drawing, so that they are only deformed on the projecting elements. is interrupted, which ensures a high stability of the deposition element.
  • the deposition element is formed as a spacer textile, which has a first outer textile layer and a second outer textile layer, which are connected by spacer threads.
  • the three-layered structure of the deposition element further reduces the effect of detaching and carrying away already deposited liquid particles, so that the degree of separation is increased.
  • the deposition element is formed so that the spacer threads make a significant contribution to the deposition of liquid particles.
  • the first outer layer and / or the second outer layer particularly coarse and permeable. Nevertheless, a high degree of separation is achieved.
  • the contribution to the deposition of liquid particles can be adjusted by an appropriate choice of the density of the spacer threads, the thickness of the spacer threads and the shape and arrangement of the spacer threads.
  • At least some of the spacer threads run at least in sections obliquely to a direction of flow.
  • the deposition of liquid particles at the spacer threads is significantly increased compared to a solution in which the spacer threads run parallel to the intended direction of flow.
  • the spacer threads have a sag in a side view.
  • the lowest point of the spacer threads in the intermediate layer lies between the first outer textile layer and the second outer textile layer. This causes at least some of the deposited in the outer textile layers liquid particles are transported under the action of gravity along the spacer thread in a central region of the spacer fabric, there grow into larger droplets and on reaching a certain size in the intermediate layer further down hike. This accelerates the transport of the liquid towards the lower edge of the deposition element where the liquid can be collected.
  • the spacer threads intersect in a plan view. This promotes the union of a liquid droplet adhering to a first spacer thread with a spacer droplet adhering to a second spacer thread, thereby facilitating the formation of larger droplets. It is possible that the spacer threads in the region of the intersection touch, but it is also possible that the spacer threads intersect while maintaining a distance.
  • the first outer layer and / or the second outer layer comprises a woven structure or a mesh structure.
  • Such structures are stable, material-saving and easy to manufacture.
  • such structures can be accurately defined in terms of their properties with respect to the deposition of liquid particles. The available parameters are in particular the type and strength of the threads used and the nature of the structure as such.
  • the spacer threads are preferably integrated into the weave structure or into the stitch structure.
  • the spacer thread can be woven into a woven structure or meshed with the stitches of a mesh structure. In this way, eliminates a separate attachment of the spacer threads on the outer layer. In addition, a particularly stable overall construction of the deposition element results.
  • the spacer threads extend between the first outer layer and the second outer layer without forming a weave structure and without forming a mesh structure.
  • the flow behavior of the liquid droplets formed in the intermediate layer is improved.
  • the overall structure can be made easier.
  • the first outer layer and / or the second outer layer in a front view has a free passage area whose proportion of the total area at least 60%, preferably at least 80%, and particularly preferably at least 90% of the total area respective outer layer is.
  • a free passage area in a front view is understood to mean that area of the respective outer layer which does not cast a shadow in the case of a vertical projection.
  • the first outer layer and / or the second outer layer has a coarse-meshed or coarsely woven structure.
  • a free passage area can be produced in a simple manner with a high proportion of the total area.
  • a coarse-meshed or coarsely woven structure there is a free passage area in the interior of the structure itself.
  • first outer layer and / or the second outer layer may have free passage openings.
  • Free passage openings are areas in which the textile structure is interrupted. That is, there are no meshes or interweaving in these areas. This allows the production of the outer layers with particularly large free passage areas.
  • the free passage openings are honeycomb-shaped.
  • Honeycomb-shaped openings lead to a stable but flexible structure. In this way, load peaks, which by a A temporary increase in the relative velocity between the deposition element and the aerosol can be intercepted.
  • the free passage openings of the first outer layer have an offset relative to the second outer layer.
  • the offset can be provided horizontally and / or vertically. The offset promotes a high degree of deposition and the stability of the deposition element.
  • the free passage openings of the first outer layer are larger than the free passage openings of the second outer layer. This makes it possible to optimize the first outer layer for the deposition of larger liquid particles and the second outer layer for the deposition of smaller liquid particles of the aerosol. In this way, the overall efficiency of the deposition process can be increased.
  • the deposition element can advantageously be arranged so that the first outer layer is used as the inlet side and the second outer layer as the outlet side for the aerosol. In this way, coarser particles are deposited first and then smaller particles. This also improves the efficiency of the separation process.
  • a plurality of deposition elements are provided, which are arranged one behind the other in a provided flow direction. This makes it possible to achieve very high degrees of separation.
  • an upstream deposition element for the deposition of larger particles and a downstream deposition element for the deposition of smaller particles is preferably provided. This also improves the overall efficiency of the device.
  • a downstream deposition element preferably has a higher thread density at least in sections than an upstream deposition element. on. In this way, it is possible to cause smaller droplets to be deposited on the downstream deposition element and larger droplets on the upstream deposition element.
  • a downstream deposition element may, at least in sections, have a smaller thread thickness than an upstream deposition element. Also by this means, the deposition of coarser particles at the upstream deposition element and the deposition of finer particles at the downstream deposition element can be promoted.
  • the deposition element consists of monofilament threads.
  • Monofilament threads consist in cross-section of a single, usually endless, fiber. Such a thread is easy to produce, for example, in a melt spinning process.
  • the advantage of simple manufacturability results in particular in comparison to textile constructions in which the threads are produced by cutting out of a flat element, for example of a plastic film.

  • oval or circular thread cross sections have a positive effect on the stability of the deposition element, which further improves the usability of the device at high relative speeds.
  • the deposition element consists essentially of synthetic fibers.
  • Synthetic fibers are generally suitable for the separation of liquid particles from an aerosol, but have little tendency to separate the deposited, to absorb liquid particles. This promotes dripping or draining of the deposited droplets, thus avoiding excessive weight gain of the deposition element during liquid recovery.
  • Suitable synthetic fibers are in particular polypropylene fibers, polyester fibers, polyamide fibers, polytetrafluoroethylene and mixtures thereof.

In particular, no support structures on the side facing away from the wind of the deposition element are required. An attachment of the deposition element at its edge regions is generally sufficient. Since no support structures are required, the passage of the aerosol through the deposition element is not hindered either.
