Abstract
A method for mechanically heating a liquid mixture of substances is described. In a liquid-ring pump (1), a foam phase is compressed and the compression heat is transferred to the mixture of substances. An apparatus designed as a liquid-ring pump (1) for mechanically heating a liquid mixture of substances is also described. Said liquid-ring pump (1) comprises an impeller (12) eccentrically arranged in a cup-shaped pump housing (11) as well as a tangential suction port (13) and a tangential delivery port (14). A gas port (15) for introducing an inert process gas extends into the suction port (13) and/or into the cup-shaped pump housing (1).
Claims13
A method for the mechanical heating of a fluid substance mixture, wherein
- a foam layer is produced in a fluid ring pump and the foam phase is compressed in order to transfer the heat of the compression to the substance mixture.
A device formed as a fluid ring pump for the mechanical heating of a fluid substance mixture, whereby the fluid ring pump has an eccentrically-arranged impeller as well as a tangentially-arranged suction nozzle and a tangentially-arranged pressure nozzle in a pot-shaped pump housing, wherein
- a gas nozzle for introducing an inert process gas opens into the suction nozzle and/or in the pot-shaped pump housing.
