Abstract
The baffle (14) is fixed at a distance from the internal wall (12) facing a container (1) to be enamelled, for example a chemical reactor and is held separated from the internal wall (12) by way of at least one local connection (15). The baffle may be solid or hollow and in the latter case can be in fluid connection with the closed space (13) between the external wall (11) and the internal wall of the container at the local connection. The invention also relates to a container comprising one or several baffles of the type. The invention is of use in the chemical industry and in particular to the producers and users of baffles.
Claims23
A baffle secured to a glass-lined internal wall of a container, which is capable of being equipped with a system of circulation of thermal fluid, the baffle being secured to and held at a distance from an adjacent internal wall (12) of the container (1) and relative to the adjacent internal wall (12) and locally with the adjacent internal wall (12) by only a single local connection (15) whose greatest dimension is less than a length of the baffle, and the baffle and the local connection have only rounded edges and angles, and an external surface of the baffle and an external surface of the local connection are glass-lined forming a group of glass-lined surfaces with an internal lateral surface of the container, and the single local connection (15) enables the baffle to be substantially insensitive to expansion of a remainder of the container;
- and
- the local connection (15) is connected to the baffle (14) at a location between opposed ends of the baffle.
A baffle secured to a glass-lined internal wall of a container, which is capable of being equipped with a system of circulation of thermal fluid, the baffle being secured to and held at a distance from an adjacent internal wall (12) of the container (1) and relative to the adjacent internal wall (12) and locally with the adjacent internal wall (12) by only a single local connection (15) whose greatest dimension is less than a length of the baffle, and the baffle and the local connection have only rounded edges and angles, and an external surface of the baffle and an external surface of the local connection are glass-lined forming a group of glass-lined surfaces with an internal lateral surface of the container, and the single local connection (15) enables the baffle to be substantially insensitive to expansion of a remainder of the container;
- and
- the local connection (15) is connected to the baffle (14) at substantially a middle portion thereof.
A reaction container comprising at least a baffle secured to a glass-lined internal wall of the container, which is capable of being equipped with a thermal fluid circulation system, the baffle being attached or secured to and held at a distance from an adjacent internal wall (12) of the container (1) and relative to the adjacent internal wall (12) and locally with the adjacent internal wall (12) only by a single local connection (15) whose greatest dimension is less than a length of the baffle, the local connection (15) is connected to the baffle (14) at a location between opposed ends of the baffle and the baffle and the local connection only having rounded edges and angles, an external surface of the baffle and an external surface of the local connection are glass-lined, and the external surface of the baffle, the external surface of the local connection and the internal surface of the container form an assembled group of completely glass-lined parts which are assembled together with one another.
