Abstract
A crystallizer which comprises a vertically mounted elongated container that contains at least one bundle of spaced cooling pipes extending longitudinally of the container and a wing attached to a shaft extending longitudinally of the container, the shaft being rotated so as to oscillate about its axis and thus force crystallizable liquid forwards and backwards through the spaces between the cooling pipes to cool the liquid and thus cause a crystallization thereof.
Claims6
A crystallizer comprising an elongated container adapted to hold a crystallizable liquid, cooling elements in the form of at least one bundle of stationary spaced cooling pipes extending longitudinally of and within said container, means for passing coolant through said cooling pipes, a shaft extending longitudinally of and within said container, and at least one wing extending longitudinally of and being attached to said shaft, said shaft being connected to means for effecting an oscillating movement of said shaft so that said at least one wing forces the crystallizable liquid through the spaces between and along the surfaces of said cooling pipes to generate a crystallization thereof.
