Abstract:
A high temperature/high pressure cell opening device has a frame sketch 2 capable of holding a cell sketch 1 in a sage manner for the purposes of relieving pressure and removing the cell end cap. A spanner sketch 4 to be used to safely vent the gas/fluid trapped in cell, and also lever off the endcap. Should any pressure be trapped in the cell, the end cap is contained in the frame and is rendered harmless.
Abstract:
Autoclave (10) and goblet (19). According to the invention, a goblet made of a chemically inert material and having a low friction coefficient is placed in the autoclave tank. The goblet includes a mixing compartment (20) for collecting and mixing the products to be treated, and an agitation compartment (21), located under the mixing compartment and communicating directly with the latter, for receiving and guiding magnetic agitation means (26). The goblet (19) is easy to clean, it provides a homogenous mixture of the products to be treated and prevents any corrosion, pollution or wear of the autoclave (15) tank itself.
Abstract:
A pressure vessel (13) in which the air, steam, and liquid exhaust systems are combined. A heating coil (17) causes the pooled water (19) to vaporize. As the steam pressure increases, air exits through a chamber (55) housing a temperature/pressure sensor (39). When the sensor (39) determines all the air has exited, the controller (29) closes the single control valve (37). The controller (29) opens the single control valve (37) after a processing phase, whereby the water (19) and steam exit through the combined exhaust system. The conduit (51, 51a) of the combined exhaust system is directed through a water reservoir (43) via the single control valve (37).
Abstract:
A method of controlling the inlet valves of a compression-type chemical reactor consists in continuously measuring, during the operation of the reactor (1), the pressure inside its working chambers (4, 5) and supply lines (7, 6) and in determining the sign of the pressure differential (//cP) between the said working chambers (4, 5) and the corresponding supply lines (7, 6). Upon change of sign of the pressure differential (//cP) from "minus" to "plus" a signal is formed for relieving the inlet valves (8, 9) from any controlling influence with the exception of the pressure differential, whereas upon change of sign of the pressure differential (//cP) from "plus" to "minus" a signal is sent for the start of counting a time interval (u), after the expiration of which a signal is formed for closing the inlet valves (8, 9) of the chemical reactor (1). A device for controlling the inlet valves of the compression-type chemical reactor comprises drives (10, 11) for the inlet valves (8, 9) of the chemical reactor (1), pressure sensors (14, 15, 16, 17) mounted inside the working chambers (4, 5) and supply lines (6, 7), comparators (18, 19) connected to the outputs of the sensors (14, 15, 16, 17), units (12, 13) for controlling the drives (10, 11), the inputs of those units being connected, through timers (20, 21), to the outputs of the comparators (18, 19) and their outputs to the drives (10, 11), and a chronometer (22) connected to one of the comparators (18, 19).
Abstract:
Provided are a gasket, a reactor using the same for sealing a spiral, and a manufacturing method thereof. The present invention improves a spiral sealing mechanism of a reactor wherein, spirals are continuously installed in the longitudinal direction between an inner pipe and an outer pipe coaxially arranged to form a flow path for a heat medium, so the seal between the spiral and the outer pipe is stably maintained and fabrication of the reactor is facilitated. The gasket (10) according to the present invention has a structure that the gasket is inserted in and coupled with the spiral (3), and thus does not need additional processing for combining the gasket (10). Therefore, since the gasket (10) and spiral (3) are coupled by lodging the spiral (3) into a channel (21) of the gasket (10), the assembly is facilitated. Furthermore, since the gasket (10) is evenly coupled in the outer circumference of the spiral (3), in which a cushion plate (40) made of resilient material is installed, breakage of the gasket (10) during assembly of the outer pipe (2) is effectively prevented and the post-assembly seal between the spiral (3) and the outer pipe (2) is stabilized.
Abstract:
An apparatus for treating material comprising a pressure vessel (2) and agitation means for agitating material received in the pressure vessel. The agitation means comprises a drum (20), which is rotatably arranged inside the pressure vessel (2) and which has an inner space (21 ) for receiving material that is introduced into the pressure vessel. The agitation means also comprises one or several agitation blades (25) mounted along the inner side of the cylindrical wall (22) of the drum so as to act on material received in the inner space (21 ) of the drum as the drum (20) rotates in relation to the pressure vessel. Drive means (30) is provided for rotating the drum in relation to the pressure vessel.
Abstract:
A waste treatment apparatus comprising an autoclave, the autoclave comprising a pressure vessel (11) having a first mouth part (20) to receive waste material and a second mouth part (19) to discharge treated material, wherein the autoclave is rotatable at a longitudinal axis to agitate the waste material during treatment and to discharge waste material from the autoclave.
Abstract:
An autoclave for sterilising packed fluid products, in particular baby food products, comprises a boiler (1), having two access doors (3, 4) that can be hermetically sealed, and a sterilisation vessel (2), arranged such that it is able to rotate inside the boiler, and means for rotating the sterilisation vessel. A conveyor is arranged in the sterilisation vessel. During rotation cages containing filled packs which have been introduced via the conveyor are pressed onto the conveyor by means of pneumatic or hydraulic pressure means (11). Compressed air or hydraulic medium can be fed to the pressure means (11) and removed therefrom via a connector (17). The connector (17) is fitted at the end of a swinging arm (12), which by means of a control means (27, 28) is able to swing between an operating position in line with the axis of rotation of the sterilisation vessel (2) and a position in which the connector (17) does not block the access of the cages (9) to the sterilisation vessel.
Abstract:
A method to provide a high pressure press with a replaceable wear liner (1). The wear liner (1) is first inserted into the cylindrical pressure chamber (2) of the press and the pre-stressed by the application of an excess pressure above the yield point. The excess pressure is sufficient to increase the diameter of the wear liner and produce a residual radial compressive stress that holds the wear liner in place. When the wear liner is removed from the press it is dismantled. The advantage of the invention is that the replaceable wear liner, and a high pressure press comprising it, may be relatively inexpensive to produce and the replaceable wear liner may be quickly and simply replaced.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a plurality of cylindrical slugs linked together by a cable. The slugs are separated by spacers and the cable is crimped at each end thereof to keep the slugs and spacers from coming off the cable. The cable-slugs-spacers assembly is inserted through a guide tube and into an annulus, locking the cover (2) of the pressure vessel (1) to the housing (1) of the vessel (10). A relief mechanism (6) is provided on the cover (2) to ensure that the cable-slugs-spacers assembly is fully inserted in the annulus thus preventing accidental extrication of the cover (2) when the vessel (10) is pressurized. A proximity sensor (13) is positioned in the housing (1) of the vessel (10) and senses the pressure of the first slug inserted into the annulus thus insuring that the cable-slugs-spacers assembly has been fully inserted in the annulus. A coupling is provided on one end of the cable-slugs-spacers assembly to positively lock the assembly in place ensuring that the cover (2) will not be extricated from the pressure vessel (1) under pressure.
