Abstract
A method for cooling components of installations charged with flowable media, in particular molding units for glass melts, and for direct cooling of molded glass parts. A stable cooling range between 60° C. and 280° C., such as is required in glass production, can be governed with the cooling medium, which is of a mixture of compressed and/or blower air and a water aerosol fog.
Claims14
In a method for cooling components of an installation charged with a flowable media, such as a molding unit for at least one of a glass melt and a direct cooling of a molded glass part, the improvement comprising:
- applying a cooling medium of a mixture of a water aerosol fog and at least one of a compressed air and a blower air (1), wherein a flow rate of the at least one of the compressed air and the blower air (1) is maintained constant, and a proportion of an amount (2) of water in the mixture is increased for increasing a cooling effect.
In a device for performing a method for cooling components of an installation charged with a flowable media, such as a molding unit for at least one of a glass melt and a direct cooling of a molded glass part, the improvement comprising:
- applying a cooling medium of a mixture of a water aerosol fog and at least one of a compressed air and a blower air (1), wherein:
- the at least one of the compressed air and the blower air (1) is radially introduced into a cylindrical mixing chamber (3),
- water (2) is supplied to a centered, axially oriented mixing pipe (6) within the mixing chamber (3), wherein the mixing pipe (6) is closed off by a water nozzle (4), and
- the at least one of the compressed and the blower air (1) rotating around the mixing pipe (6) is mixed with the water aerosol fog exiting from the water nozzle (4) and is supplied through an adjoining outlet (5) of the mixing chamber (3) directly to the installation component.
In a method for cooling components of an installation charged with a flowable media, such as a molding unit for at least one of a glass melt and a direct cooling of a molded glass part, the improvement comprising:
- applying a cooling medium of a mixture of a water aerosol fog and at least one of a compressed air and a blower air (1), wherein the at least one of the compressed air and the blower air (1) is brought into a rotating motion and is supplied to a mixing chamber (3) into which the water aerosol fog is also introduced.
In a method for cooling components of an installation charged with a flowable media, such as a molding unit for at least one of a glass melt and a direct cooling of a molded glass part, the improvement comprising:
- applying a cooling medium of a mixture of a water aerosol fog and at least one of a compressed air and a blower air (1), wherein an operation with the mixture of the water aerosol fog and the at least one of the compressed air and the blower air (1) is performed in a cooling range between 280° C. to 60° C.
