Trotz seiner großen Verbreitung und seiner enormen Bedeutung für die Trockenklassierung von Feinstpulvern ist der Abweiseradsichter hinsichtlich der Prozesse am Sichtrad in wesentlichen Punkten noch weitgehend unverstanden. Daher wurde in der vorliegenden Arbeit der Sichtkorb eines Abweiseradsichters durch Umbau optisch zugänglich gemacht. Die aufgenommenen Bilder ermöglichen erstmals eine direkte Beobachtung der Gasströmung und der Partikelbewegung zwischen den Sichtradschaufeln. Insbesondere konnte die Bedeutung von Partikel/Partikel-und Partikel/Sichtradschaufel-Stößen gezeigt werden.In spite of its great importance for the dry classification of fine powders, the processes in deflector wheel classifiers are to a large extent unknown. Therefore, in the present work a commercial available classifier was modified to gain an optical access to the deflector wheel. For the first time, the obtained photographs enable an observation of the gas flow and the particle motion between the blades of the deflector wheel. Especially the importance of particle-particle-and particleblade-collisions could be shown.
Although the deflector wheel classifier is the dominant separation device in the industrial separation of finegrained particle fractions, the classifying mechanisms at high particle loadings are still not described and understood sufficiently. The existing models for the calculation of the separation efficiency, which are mostly based on a single particle's fate, fail to capture the behavior at high particle loading where particle-particle and particle-wall collisions are encountered. To overcome this knowledge gap, a high-speed camera was used to analyze the particle movement in the separation process of a deflector wheel classifier representing real physical conditions. It is shown that particle-particle and particle-wall collisions must be included in a consistent theoretical model to represent the effective particle behavior in the separation process. In addition, the influence of process parameters such as revolution rate and mass loading on the separation efficiency of a deflector wheel classifier at high loadings is presented here.
In der industriellen Aufbereitung feiner Partikelkollektive ist die Sichtung in einem Abweiseradsichter ein wichtiger verfahrenstechnischer Schritt zur Herstellung vieler hochspezifischer Produkte. Vorhergegangene Arbeiten haben gezeigt, dass sich Sichtluftwirbel zwischen den Schaufeln des Sichtrades ausbilden, welche die Fluidströmung sowie die Partikelbewegung und schlussendlich die Trenneigenschaften des Sichters maßgeblich beeinflussen. Es ist das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit, den Zusammenhang zwischen Schaufelgeometrie, Fluidströmung und Trenncharakteristik aufzudecken.In the industrial preparation of fine particles, the classification in a deflector wheel classifier is an important step for the production of many highly specified products. Previous experiments have shown that fluid vortices are formed between the paddles of the classifying wheel, which significantly influence the fluid flow, the particle movement, and, finally, the separation properties of the classifier. Therefore, it is the aim of the present work to uncover the relationship between paddle geometry, fluid flow, and separation characteristics.
