Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hydrocyclone plant for treating fibre suspensions comprising a multiplicity of elongated hydrocyclone bodies, each of which has an apex end and a base end, and is designed with an ex ⁇ terior sealing surface having a circular cross-section.
- a wall provided with circular holes, into which the respective hydrocyclones are inserted, so that the sealing surfaces extend through the holes.
- Circular sealing rings extend around the respective sealing surfaces and are situated in the holes of the wall to seal between the sealing surfaces and the wall.
- the sealing rings are made of an elastic rubber compound having a a relatively poor resistancy to the chemicals which can be found in the fibre suspensions which are treated.
- the chemicals might affect the sealing rings of rubber, so that these become hard or are dissolved, which has the consequence that the seal between the sealing surfaces of the hydrocyclone bodies and said wall becomes unreliable.
- the sealing rings of rubber might swell, so that the hydrocyclone bodies become jammed in the wall, which makes it difficult to dismount the individual hydrocyclone bodies.
- sealing rings could be made of existing chemical resistant rubber compound, whereby the problem of unreliable sealing or jamming of the hydro ⁇ cyclone bodies could be eliminated.
- chemical resistant rubber compounds are too expensive to justify their use in a hydrocyclone plant, which may comprise hundreds of hydrocyclone bodies, each of which requires two sealing rings.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a hydrocyclone plant, in which the required seals between hydrocyclone bodies and walls are reliable, and in which the hydrocyclone bodies do not risk getting stuck in the walls, without making the plant more expensive than conventional plants.
- each sealing ring is radially cut through to form two opposite free ends on the sealing ring as seen in the circumferential direction of the sealing ring, the sealing ring being stiff enough to prevent it from loosening from its hydrocyclone body in the direc ⁇ tion transverse to the latter, when the hydrocyclone body is dismounted from the wall;
- the sealing surface of each hydrocyclone body has a radial extension which increases along the sealing surface in the direction towards the base end of the hydrocyclone body and is provided with a projection extending axially along the sealing surface and between the free ends of the sealing ring on the sealing surface;
- each sealing ring is dimensioned such that it is insertable into any one of the holes of the wall, when the sealing ring is situated in a first position on its sealing surface, and is expanded by the sealing surface to seal between the wall and the sealing surface, when the sealing ring is inserted into any one of
- sealing rings need not be elastic but can be made of an inexpensive moulded plastic compound which is resistant to the chemicals which can be found in the fibre suspensions which are treated.
- the projection on each sealing surface is dimensioned such that it substantially fills up the space which is formed between the sealing surface, the wall and the free ends of the sealing ring on the sealing surface, when the sealing ring is in said second position and is expanded by the sealing surface. Since the free ends of the sealing ring are moved away from each other, when the sealing ring expands during dis ⁇ placement of it along the sealing surface towards said second position, the projection suitably has a circum ⁇ ferential extension on the sealing surface which increases along the sealing surface in the direction towards the base end of the hydrocyclone body.
- each sealing surface has a first cylindrical portion, a second cylindrical portion having greater diameter than the first portion, and a conical portion tapering from the second cylind ⁇ rical portion to the first cylindrical portion.
- the projection on the sealing surface of each hydrocyclone body suitably has a circumferential extension which increases along the conical portion of the sealing surface in the direction towards the base end of the hydrocyclone body.
- figure 1 shows a hydrocyclone plant according to the invention
- figure 2 shows a detail of the hydrocyclone plant according to figure 1 with a hydrocyclone body in a dismounted position
- figure 3 shows the same detail as figure 2, but with the hydrocyclone body in a mounted sealing position
- figure 4 shows a section along the line IV-IV in figure 2
- figure 5 shows a section along the line V-V in figure 3
- figure 6 shows a part of a hydrocyclone body in the hydrocyclone plant according to figure 1,
- figure 7 shows a sectional view along the line VII-VII in figure 6,
- figure 8 shows a sealing ring for the hydrocyclone body according to figure 6
- figure 9 shows a view along the line IX-IX in figure 8.
- the hydrocyclone plant shown in figure 1 comprises a multiplicity of elongated hydrocyclone bodies 1, each of which tapers from a base end 2 to an apex end 3.
- Three cylindrical vertical walls 4-6 are arranged concen ⁇ trically with each other so that a cylindrical space 7 for a created heavy fraction is defined by the innermost situated wall 4, an annular space 8 for a fibre suspen ⁇ sion to be treated is defined by the innermost wall 4 and the intermediate wall 5, and an annular space 9 for a created light fraction is defined by the intermediate wall 5 and the outermost situated wall 6.
- the hydro- cyclone bodies 1 extend radially in the annular space 8 and are regularly allocated around the cylindrical space 7.
- Each hydrocyclone body 1 extends at its base end 2 through a hole in the intermediate wall 5 and at its apex end 3 through a hole in the innermost wall 4.
- the holes 10 are closed by removable lids 11.
- Each hydrocyclone body 1 is designed at its base end 2 with an exterior sealing surface 12, which comprises a first circular cylindrical portion 13, a second circular cylindrical portion 14 having a greater diameter than the portion 13, and a conical portion 15 tapering from the portion 14 to the portion 13.
- the sealing surface 12 is axially defined by two stop members in the form of flanges 16 and 17 on the outside of the hydrocyclone body 1.
- each sealing surface 12 there is extending a circular sealing ring 18, which consists of a resilient compound and which is radially cut through to form two opposite free ends 19,20 on the sealing ring 18 as seen in the circumferential direction of the sealing ring 18.
- the sealing ring 18 is stiff enough to be prevented from loosening from its hydrocyclone body 1 in the direction transverse to the latter. Axially along the hydrocyclone body 1 the freedom of movement of the sealing ring 18 is limited by the flanges 16 and 17.
- the sealing ring 18 is provided with a stop member in the form of a radially outwardly directed flange 21 having a greater trans ⁇ versal extension than the holes of the wall 5 and situated at the axial end of the sealing ring 18 which is closest to the base end 2 of the hydrocyclone body 1.
- Each sealing surface 12 is provided with a projection 22, which extends axially along the sealing surface 12 and between the free ends 19,20 of the sealing ring 18 on the sealing surface 12.
- the extension of the projec- tion 22 in the circumference of the sealing surface 12 increases continuously along the conical portion 15 in the direction towards the base end of the hydrocyclone body 1.
- each hydrocyclone body is provided at its apex end 3 with a sealing surface 23, a sealing ring 24, flanges 25,26, and a projection 27 (figures 2 and 3), which are formed analogous to and has the same function as the above described corresponding components at the base end 2 of the hydrocyclone body 1 and therefore need not be further explained.
- the sealing ring 18 When the hydrocyclone body 1 is brought further into the holes of the walls 4 and 5 to the sealing position shown in figures 3 and 5 the sealing ring 18 is entrained by the wall 5 and is expanded by the conical portion 15, so that the sealing ring 18 seals between the wall 5 and the sealing surface 12, when the sealing ring 18 has been entrained to the cylindrical portion 14 of the sealing surface 12.
- the projection 22 is dimensioned such that it substantially fills up the space which is formed between the sealing surface 12, the wall 5 and the free ends 19,20 of the sealing ring 18, when the hydrocyclone body 1 is in the sealing position shown in figures 3 and 5.
- the hydrocyclone body 1 When dismounting any hydrocyclone body 1 from the hydrocyclone plant the hydrocyclone body 1 is pulled radially outwardly from the walls 4-6.
- the sealing ring 18 of the hydrocyclone body 1 is entrained by the wall 5, so that the sealing ring 18 glides along the cylind ⁇ rical portion 14 of the sealing surface 12 towards the flange 17.
- the sealing ring 18, which is in a yielded expanded state passes the conical portion 15 it springs to a smaller diameter than the hole of the wall 5.
- the sealing ring 18 is therefore easily released from the wall 5, when the sealing ring 18 reaches the cylind ⁇ rical portion 13 and abuts against the flange 17.
