Abstract
The present invention concerns a method of mixing aqueous solutions, an apparatus for carrying out said method and the use of dosing devices with integrated dosing monitoring and stroke length control in an installation for mixing container aqueous solutions.
Claims23
A method of mixing aqueous solutions, which has the following steps:
- A) providing aqueous solutions in at least two separate storage containers,
- B) introducing the aqueous solutions into a mixing container by at least one respective dosing device so that a mixture of the aqueous solutions is produced, wherein the dosing device has the following components:
- 1) a dosing chamber having a displacement element which is arranged moveably in such a way that it can be reciprocated between two points of maximum deflection Smax and Smin, wherein the volume of the dosing chamber in the position Smax is at a maximum and in the position Smin is at a minimum and wherein the spacing of Smax and Smin corresponds to a maximum stroke length Hmax,
- 2) an actuator for driving the displacement element which has an actuator input for an electrical actuation signal and is so constructed that an electrical actuation signal at the actuator input is converted into a mechanical movement,
- wherein introduction is effected by the displacement element performing an oscillating movement between two positions SA and SE within the range of Smax and Smin so that the aqueous solution is sucked out of the storage container into the dosing chamber by a suction stroke hS and is then pushed into the mixing container by a pressure stroke hD, wherein the spacing HA-E of the two positions SA and SE is less than or equal to the maximum stroke length Hmax,
- C) determining the amounts of the aqueous solutions introduced into the mixing container by dosing monitoring means and/or detecting a physical and/or chemical measurement value of the mixture of the aqueous solutions by a sensor, characterised in that
- D) the measurement values determined in C) are communicated to at least one stroke length closed-loop control and the stroke length closed-loop control adapts the movement of the actuator and thus the spacing HA-E of at least one dosing device in dependence on said measurement values.
