Abstract
A system for recycling cooling devices, comprising a system part for catalytically oxidizing the pure hydrocarbon compounds and chlorofluorocarbons which accumulate during the recycling of the cooling devices. According to the invention, this system part comprises two reactors, provided mutually separated in the flow direction of the gases to be treated, a first reactor being used for catalytically oxidizing the pure hydrocarbon compounds while a second reactor is used for catalytically oxidizing chlorofluorocarbons.
Claims19
A system for recycling cooling devices, comprising:
- a system part for catalytically oxidising the pure hydrocarbon compounds and chlorofluorocarbons which accumulate during the recycling of the cooling devices, wherein the system part comprises two reactors, provided mutually separated in the flow direction of gases to be treated;
- a first reactor being used for catalytically oxidising the pure hydrocarbon compounds;
- a second reactor is used for catalytically oxidising chlorofluorocarbons;
- and
- a gas heating device arranged upstream of the first reactor in the flow direction of the gases.
A system for recycling cooling devices, comprising:
- a system part for catalytically oxidising the pure hydrocarbon compounds and chlorofluorocarbons which accumulate during the recycling of the cooling devices, wherein the system part comprises two reactors, provided mutually separated in the flow direction of gases to be treated;
- a first reactor being used for catalytically oxidising the pure hydrocarbon compounds;
- a second reactor is used for catalytically oxidising chlorofluorocarbons, wherein a heat exchanger, in which the gases which have yet to be treated are guided counter to the flow of the gases which have been treated exiting the second reactor, is arranged upstream from the first reactor in the flow direction of the gases which have yet to be treated.
