Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for treating workpieces with a liquid, in particular for cleaning metallic workpieces for a heat treatment following cleaning, and a device for carrying out the method.
  • washing in particular for cleaning and / or rinsing metallic workpieces
  • linked heat treatment systems This includes, for example, vacuum heat treatment, piercing, roller hearth, Vertical retort or multi-purpose chamber furnace systems in which bright heat treatments, various annealing processes and hardening processes as well as diffusion processes such as nitriding, nitro carburizing, carbonitriding and carburizing can be carried out.
  • chlorinated hydrocarbons e.g. tetrachlorethylene (Per) or trichlorethylene (Tri) were used in the past to clean metallic workpieces. These were ideal cleaning agents, especially for removing greases and pigment dirt, the environmental impact of which but were only known and taken into account at a later date.
  • CHC chlorinated hydrocarbons
  • tetrachlorethylene and trichlorethylene especially tetrachlorethylene and trichlorethylene
  • Trichloroethene (tri) is now suspected of causing cancer, so that this cleaning agent has practically been withdrawn from circulation in Europe.
  • a clean surface is also essential for vacuum heat treatments, bright annealing processes, coatings or the like.
  • Such water-soluble cleaning agents for example highly wash-active, mostly surfactant-containing substances, however, have a reduced solubility for fats compared to chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHC), so that the cleaning process supported by a relative movement and very highly concentrated solutions of these agents must be used and the cleaning process must be supported by a relative movement between the workpiece to be cleaned and the cleaning liquid.
  • CHC chlorinated hydrocarbons
  • the relative movement between the workpiece and the cleaning liquid is achieved in that the workpieces are sprayed by means of pivotable arms, specifically with a high exit velocity of the treatment liquid.
  • the workpieces are sprayed with the treatment liquid and the cleaning effect is a combination of a mechanical detachment of the dirt particles and a chemical effect.
  • the emulsification of the fats and oils, caused by high discharge speeds, has a disadvantageous effect on the bath condition .
  • the metal workpieces were removed from the bath or the spraying device and then by means of heated circulating air by evaporation with the help the natural heat of the parts or dried by blowing off or by means of a convection heater.
  • the cleaning agents used can only be used in a certain temperature range. If, for example, a cleaning bath has an excessively high temperature (close to 100 ° C), the cleaning agents are chemically changed and their cleaning effect deteriorates considerably. On the other hand, if the cleaning bath is not warm enough (below the cloud point or just above it), the cleaning effect also diminishes because the washing activities are no longer adequately thermally supported. The higher viscosity of the greasing complicates the chemical washing process.
  • a method for cleaning office machines and similar mechanical devices is known from DD-PS 91 177. Afterwards, the office machines mentioned are to be cleaned in a bath in which bubble columns rise, which are formed by a pulsating gas flow.
  • a cleaning device for hospital equipment is known in which cleaning fluid is moved by spraying and the like by means of compressed air.
  • a cleaning device for small machine parts in which the machine parts are introduced into a basket-like vessel, the bottom of which is formed by a grid. Below the grille is a tube ring, the top of which is provided with outlet openings for air bubbles.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of developing a method and a device of the type mentioned in such a way that the above disadvantages are avoided and that the cleaning effect of metallic workpieces is improved overall.
  • the procedure according to the invention namely causes "underpressure boiling", ie boiling of the immersion bath already at a temperature which is significantly below the temperature at which the immersion bath would boil under ambient pressure.
  • the vapor bubbles are not only generated at the bottom of the wash tank, as in known methods, they are also generated at every location of the immersion bath, i.e. also inside blind holes, scooping surfaces and the like, which remain unreached in conventional immersion baths with injected air bubbles.
  • a further significant advantage of the method according to the invention is that it is possible to work with temperatures of the immersion bath which are clearly below the boiling temperature at ambient pressure, for example 100 ° C. It is therefore also possible to use treatment liquids whose chemical treatment additives only develop their optimum effect at temperatures significantly below 100 ° C and therefore could not be used in boiling treatment baths in the conventional procedure, because the additives mentioned adversely change their chemical properties at 100 ° C. .
  • the method according to the invention thus opens up a completely new spectrum of treatment options because treatment media can now also be used which could not previously be used for the reasons mentioned.
  • the method according to the invention can also be used particularly advantageously in the case of stacked goods or bulk goods which could not be adequately agitated with known methods and devices for injecting air bubbles into the treatment bath, because here too the air bubbles flow past the large number of workpieces.
  • there are no longer any tricks for example rotating drums in an immersion bath, in which a bulk material is accommodated in order to expose it to air bubble agitation with regard to all bulk material workpieces (e.g. screws and the like).
  • the negative pressure is set so that it corresponds to the saturation vapor pressure of the treatment liquid of the immersion bath at the temperature minus at least the hydrostatic pressure at the bottom of the wash tank.
  • This measure has the advantage that the entire immersion bath is brought to a boil, even if the water column in the wash tank is relatively high.
  • a gas is blown into the immersion bath during steps d) and e).
  • the injected serves as a purge gas for a vacuum pump connected to the wash tank, which thus sucks an air / steam mixture out of the wash tank, the air component being passed through the vacuum pump and the steam fraction being able to be condensed out, as will be explained below.
  • the gas injection has the advantage that an additional Agitation can be achieved, which leads to an increased treatment effect in a conventional manner.
  • the gas is therefore blown in from the bottom of the wash tank in such a way that gas bubbles flow around the workpieces.
  • the known advantage arises that the entire tank, i.e. the entire batch of workpieces is surrounded by gas bubbles as evenly as possible.
  • the air / steam mixture is passed through a condenser, the treatment liquid which condenses out in the condenser being further preferably returned to a liquid tank.
  • This measure has the advantage that thickening or salting-out of the treatment liquid is avoided, which would occur if steam was always removed from the treatment bath while the dissolved treatment substances remained in the bath. By recycling the condensed treatment liquid, this effect is avoided, so that the method according to the invention can also be used independently in long-term operation, i.e. without refilling treatment liquids.
  • a rinsing liquid or alternatively a cleaning liquid is used as the treatment liquid.
  • the cleaning agent is water, to which a gentle, fat-dissolving cleaning agent is added, the no chemical reactions with the surface of the workpieces occur and / or such chemical reactions are not supported.
  • This measure has the advantage that no residues of the cleaning agent remain on the surface of the workpieces after washing processes.
  • the cleaning agent is neutral to slightly alkaline.
  • this measure has the advantage that metals or metal alloys in these pH ranges are not attacked by aqueous media and that such media are environmentally neutral and harmless to the people who handle the media.
  • steps b) -g) are carried out several times in succession with the same or different treatment liquids.
  • This measure has the advantage of very great flexibility because only rinsing processes, only cleaning processes or combined cleaning or rinsing processes or other treatment processes can be carried out in succession.
  • a fully demineralized water is used as the rinsing liquid and this is mixed with a detergent after step g) and used as a cleaning liquid for a further subsequent process implementation.
  • This measure has the advantage that even a "used" rinsing bath is subsequently used as a cleaning bath can, whereby fully demineralized water is particularly suitable as a starting substance for a cleaning liquid.
  • the immersion bath is circulated during step e) and cleaned outside the wash tank.
  • This measure has the advantage that long-term operation can be guaranteed without the need to supply and remove treatment fluids.
  • the immersion bath is mechanically agitated during step e).
  • This measure also has the advantage known per se that the treatment effect is increased if, in addition to the existing chemical effects and the particle removal by means of steam bubbles, a mechanical action is also exerted on the surface of the workpieces.
  • step e) is carried out for a duration of between 1 min and 20 min.
  • steps d) - f) are carried out pulsatingly.
  • This measure has the advantage that the treatment bath can be "boiled up" one or more times, with the result that the workpieces are flushed through particularly vigorously.
  • the workpieces are first flushed with a pressure-free surge of the treatment liquid throughout step b) for a period of between 1 min and 10 min, the surge having a flow rate between 100 m3 / h and 100 m3 / h per m2 workpiece surface and the treatment liquid is continuously drained from the wash tank via an outlet, while the outlet is then closed until the wash tank is filled to an overflow by the surge.
  • This measure has the advantage that in the very critical first phase of the treatment, e.g. of the cleaning process, by rinsing the workpieces with an unpressurized surge of a very large flow rate, the workpieces are already treated or cleaned to a very large extent, with the result that e.g. the subsequent cleaning steps can start with a considerably clean workpiece than is the case with the conventional procedure.
  • the pressure-free gush pouring over the workpieces with a very high flow rate also penetrates into inaccessible areas of the workpieces, forms vortices there and also takes dirt particles from there. This cannot be achieved with conventional devices in which thin liquid jets are directed onto the workpiece under high pressure, because there, on the one hand, only punctiform areas of the workpiece surface can be applied and, on the other hand, as already mentioned, inside areas are inaccessible.
  • the above-mentioned procedure has the advantage that the workpieces are rinsed for a long time even before the cleaning bath is let in, that is to say during a time when the air is injected or steam bubbles are generated would have no effect.
  • the workpieces are rinsed during step g), preferably covering the entire area by means of the pressure-free surge of the treatment liquid mentioned above and a flow rate which corresponds to 80% to 100% of the flow rate mentioned.
  • This measure has the advantage that the workpieces are never exposed to the outside air flowing in when the immersion bath is drained, which, given the high temperature at which the workpieces are located, would immediately lead to signs of corrosion and the like, since the workpieces start at this time their surface are highly active.
  • a negative pressure preferably between 60 mbar and 350 mbar, is set for a duration of 3 minutes and 10 minutes in the wash tank.
  • This measure has the advantage that the workpieces can be dried in the same wash tank by means of negative pressure.
  • the warm workpieces, which at this time are at the temperature of the immersion bath, that is to say at a temperature of, for example, 85 ° C., have generally stored enough inherent heat to evaporate the residues of treatment liquid still adhering. If a negative pressure is generated in the wash tank at this time, the evaporating liquid components removed and the workpieces are completely dry before the wash tank is opened again and the workpieces come into contact with the ambient air.
  • a device with a pressure-tight lockable wash tank which has a capacity of between 1 m3 and 10 m3, with first means for moving workpieces into the wash tank, with second means for letting the workpieces into essentially surrounding immersion bath, with an air space remaining in the wash tank above the immersion bath, and with means for generating a negative pressure in the wash tank, provided the means for generating a negative pressure are connected to the air space and are designed such that they evacuate the air space to a negative pressure which is below the saturation vapor pressure of the treatment liquid of the immersion bath at the temperature for a predetermined time.
  • a device 10 shown in FIG. 1 has a wash tank 12, a first tank 14 for a first treatment liquid, a second tank 16 for a second treatment liquid, a vacuum station 18, a filter device 20 and a device 22 for injecting a gas into the wash tank 12 on.

  • a treatment step with a further treatment liquid can now follow or even before the drying process, for example rinsing the workpieces 30 with the rinsing liquid 47 contained in the first tank 14 same, so that in this respect reference can be made to the description of FIGS. 2-5.
  • the liquid in question for example the cleaning liquid 42, is continuously cleaned, as initially described 1 was explained in connection with the filter device 20.
  • the device 10 operates completely independently, i.e. no need to add or remove treatment fluids during operation.
  • demineralized water is used as the basis for the treatment liquids.
  • the fully demineralized water can initially be used as a rinsing liquid 47, because this prevents salt stains from forming on the workpieces after the rinsing during the drying process (FIG. 6), which interfere with the subsequent heat treatment, in particular with nitro carburizing.
  • the rinsing liquid 47 can be prepared by adding suitable cleaning agents even when it can no longer be used as a rinsing liquid and can be used as a cleaning liquid 42 for subsequent washing processes. In this way too, extreme use can be made of the liquids used without having to refill new liquids.
  • the line 71 'between the vacuum pump 70 and the wash tank 12 is expediently connected to the cover 26.
  • the vacuum pump 70 is switched on via the control device 75 and at the same time the valve 71a 'in the line 71' is opened.
  • the vacuum pump 70 Since the bath 83 is filled up to the overflow 38 in this process state, the vacuum pump 70 generates a strong negative pressure in the remaining small air space 91 in the area of the surge shower 52.
  • the negative pressure is now set so that the bath 83 begins to boil despite the temperature of 100 ° C. being below the boiling point of water at atmospheric pressure.
  • the vacuum must be set so that it corresponds to the saturation vapor pressure of water at the respective lower temperature and the hydrostatic pressure in the wash tank 12 is also taken into account, i.e. the height of the liquid column inside the tank.
  • the bath 83 begins to boil, even though its temperature is below 100 ° C.
  • the boiling of the bath 83 has the result that steam bubbles form at every point in the bath 83, that is to say not only on the surfaces of the workpieces 30, but rather also in cavities, bores, blind bores, scoops and the like.
  • the vapor bubbles thus also arise at those locations on the workpieces that cannot be reached by air bubbles that were generated by the device 22 for injecting gas.
  • the rising steam bubbles take along dirt particles via adhesive forces, with the result that blind bores, scooping surfaces and the like can also be cleaned by taking dirt particles with them.
  • the intensity of the boiling can be varied by adjusting the negative pressure accordingly via the vacuum pump 70.
  • the dirt carried up by the steam bubbles during the vacuum cooking collects on the surface of the bath and can be removed from the wash tank 12 in the manner already described via the overflow 38 after the cooking phase has ended.
  • the cooking of the bath 83 can be provided both during cleaning and during rinsing, because the chemical cleaning process is supported during cleaning, while the difficult to access spaces can be rinsed out in the manner mentioned during rinsing. It goes without saying that the Vacuum cooking a circulation and / or agitation of the bath 83 is possible.
  • the suction side of the pump 43 is connected to the pipe socket 65 via a line 95, a valve 95a being arranged in the line 95.
  • the corresponding treatment liquid can now be sucked off the pipe socket 65 despite the negative pressure prevailing in the wash tank 12 and added again via the surge shower 52. It is understood that in this case as well, suitable measures can be used to continuously clean the respective treatment liquid (not shown).
  • a condenser 92 is arranged in the line 71 'because the vacuum pump 70 sucks off the vapor of the respective treatment liquid in the manner described and this vapor should not get into the vacuum pump 70. For this reason, an appropriate supply of air will ensure that the vacuum pump 70 always draws in a mixture of air and steam, the steam in the condenser 92 then precipitating out and being supplied to the respective tanks for the treatment liquids. This has the advantage that the treatment liquids do not thicken, i.e. Salt up by keeping the water loss as low as possible.
  • the amount of steam for the vacuum pump 70 is reduced by the amount of condensed steam, so that the vacuum pump 70 can be economically small.
  • the vacuum pump 70 since the vacuum pump 70, as already mentioned, can only pump out saturated air, the air required by the vacuum pump 70 becomes preferably supplied via the hollow body 63. You can measure the air required by the vacuum pump 70 so that it just corresponds to the amount of flotation air.
  • vacuum cooking can now be integrated in a variety of ways into the method steps explained further above with reference to FIGS. 2-6:
  • vacuum cooking can be used permanently in the immersion process, with the result that cooking is carried out under vacuum during the entire cleaning or rinsing time.
  • vacuum cooking in the immersion process can also be used for floating, i.e. each for part of the cleaning or rinsing time.
  • the vacuum cooking method can also be used in a pulsating manner by appropriate setting by means of the control device 75, be it during the entire cleaning or rinsing time or during individual time segments.
  • a pulsating vacuum boiling can be achieved in this case by strongly evacuating the wash tank 12 until the boiling effect sets in or almost sets in, in order to then bring to a boil by the sudden addition of fresh air, i.e. to cause a pressure release.
  • the fresh air can be supplied via the hollow body 63 or also via the surge shower 52.
  • the step of vacuum cooking can last from 1 min to 20 min.
  • FIG. 8 shows a variant of a device 100, only one wash tank 104 being shown here, which largely corresponds to the wash tank 12 of the device 10 according to FIGS. 1-7. Therefore, essentially only the deviating elements will be described below and in Fig. 8 the same reference numerals have been used for corresponding components.
  • the wash tank 104 is also designed as a container which is approximately circular in cross section and is provided on its bottom with a pipe socket 105, which is intended here to represent the pipe socket 46 and 65 of the wash tank 12 according to FIGS. 1-7.
  • the wash tank 100 also has a drum 106 which can be rotated about a horizontal axis 108 via a drive 107. Hexagonal workpieces 110, 110 ' « are contained in the drum 106.
  • the wash tank 104 is provided with an overflow 111, which is connected both to the second tank 16, which contains the cleaning liquid 42, and to the first tank 14, which contains the rinsing liquid 47.

  • the bubbles 127 flow completely around the workpieces 120, as is indicated, for example, by an arrow 136.
  • Providing the side part 131 also produces a laterally directed bubble flow, as is indicated, for example, by the arrow 139. This creates an upwardly curved line because the bubbles emerging from the side nozzles 128 soon tend to rise due to the buoyancy.
  • the pressure of the gas bubbles 127 emerging from the side nozzles 128 is adjusted during a cleaning process so that they reach at least approximately the longitudinal central axis of the wash tank 104, i.e. seen in the section of Fig. 8, as indicated by the arrow 138, extend at least over half the width in the lateral direction.
