Definitions
- the invention relates to an installation and a method for pickling, scouring, surface treatment of coated or uncoated materials, such as metals, concrete, wood, polymers, plastics or any other type of material, by jet of cryogenic fluid at very high pressure.
- the surface treatment of coated or uncoated materials, in particular stripping, peeling or the like, of concrete, paint ... is essentially by sanding, by ultra-high pressure water spraying (UHP) , by sander, jackhammer, bush-hammer or chemically.
- UHP ultra-high pressure water spraying
- cryogenic jets under very high pressure as proposed by US-A-7, 310,955 and US-A-7,316,363.
- one or more jets of liquid nitrogen are used at a pressure of 1000 to 4000 bar and at a cryogenic temperature of, for example, between -100 and -200 ° C., typically about -140 and -160 ° C., which are distributed by a nozzle-holder tool (s) which is set in motion, typically a rotational or oscillatory movement.
- the nitrogen gas delivered by the nozzles if it is released or released in the room where the surface treatment takes place, creates risks of anoxia for the operator, particularly if it accumulates there and the room is badly or not ventilated.
- a suction bell is generally arranged around (or on) the surface treatment tool from which the jet of liquid nitrogen leaves, said bell being generally equipped with a flexible flap serving to ensure a mechanical barrier function and contact between the suction bell and the surface to be treated.
- This flap can be provided or formed of a row of flexible bristles, an elastic band (rubber, leather, elastomer ...), one or more foam pads ...
- This suction bell allows a partial seal between the tool and the surface to be treated and allows to suck all or part of the nitrogen delivered by the nozzles. This is particularly useful when it is desired to suction the waste produced during the surface treatment, directly at the source to prevent them from polluting the place in which the surface treatment operation is carried out, for example a surface etching, in particular in the case of the crushing of concrete in radioactive environments.
- the suction system used must be in a vacuum to avoid the release of nitrogen in the room / workplace and to be able to suck effectively the surface residues.
- the nitrogen ejected by the tool-carrier as well as dust and waste, such as pieces of concrete or the like, are sucked by the bell.
- the suction capacity must be greater than the nitrogen flow at the tool. Thus, outside air because is also sucked.
- the aspirated ambient air contains moisture, that is, water vapor, which enters the suction system.
- the moisture is adsorbed on the flexible flap, especially on the bristles or the like, and then turns into ice in contact with the low temperatures of the bell.
- This can be very inconvenient for manipulations.
- the constituent elements of the flap, such bristles, by their flexibility, normally have to ensure a fundamental role of contact area between the suction bell and the surface to be treated.
- the contact between the bell and the substrate becomes very bad because very little "tight". It then follows an aspiration of poor quality, that is to say, rubble, dust or other waste will "pollute" the room where the treatment takes place. This is unacceptable, especially in industries where surface residues must be imperatively aspirated, such as nuclear or chemical industries, for example.
- the aspirated moisture is transferred to the absolute filters which usually equip a suction system of this type.
- this moisture agglomerates the dust and other surface residues to form a paste that clogs the absolute filters, which strongly impacts the efficiency of the suction and can make it inoperative. This results in frequent shutdowns to clean the absolute filters, which affects productivity.
- the problem to be solved is therefore to propose an installation and a process for pickling, peeling, surface treatment of coated or uncoated materials, such as metals, concrete, wood, polymers, plastics or any other type of material, by jet or jets of cryogenic fluid at high pressure which are improved, that is to say which do not lead or much less frequently than in the prior art, to suction defects due to a poor sealing of the suction bell and / or clogging of filters or other purification or filtration devices fitted to the suction system.

- This second protective enclosure 23 may or may not have a flap or a row of bristles, such as the suction bell 20.
- a flow of dry and clean gas under pressure (P2) of the atmospheric pressure (Po) is introduced into the second protective enclosure 23 so as to create a gaseous overpressure atmosphere constituting the desired gas barrier.
- the second protective enclosure 23 therefore serves as a mechanical barrier but is used primarily to create an insulating pneumatic barrier around the bell 20 to prevent the entry of atmospheric impurities, particularly water vapor (moisture) within of the bell 20, which solves the aforementioned problems.
- the second protective enclosure 23 may cover all or part of the suction bell 21. Preferably, it covers at least the lower part of the bell 20, that is to say the end of the bell 20 located opposite the surface to be treated and carrying the bib or flexible protective skirt in contact with the surface to be treated, since it is at this level that can mainly penetrate the harmful moist air.
- the supply of dry gas into the protective enclosure 23 is conventionally done by a gas supply line 26, for example, preferably equipped with a device for controlling and / or regulating the flow rate 27 of the gas that may comprise a valve, regulator, flowmeter or other similar devices.
- a second protective enclosure 23 (or bell) is preferably used to form the protective gas curtain around the bell 20, but it is obvious that any other equivalent system or device may be used as soon as it makes it possible to obtain a gas barrier formed of a dry gas in deletion with respect to the atmospheric pressure and the pressure prevailing in the bell 20. In all cases, choose the pressures P1 and P2 and arrange the elements of the system for obtaining an effective gas curtain is within the reach of the person skilled in the art.

- nitrogen gas exhaust being done via exhaust devices, such as vents or the like, arranged on said heat exchangers 2, 3.
- Recovering this waste gas formed of dry nitrogen is particularly advantageous because it makes it possible to use a source of available gas and to recover it instead of releasing it into the atmosphere.
- the nitrogen evacuated by the heat exchanger vent or vents of the installation is recycled to the interior of the second protective enclosure 23 so as to create a gaseous overpressure and obtain the desired insulating pneumatic barrier.
- the flow rate of the dry gas, in particular nitrogen is greater than the flow difference between the flow rate of the suction by the suction means and the flow rate of liquid nitrogen and gas ejected for the surface treatment by the nozzles 11.
- FIG. 1 In order to verify the effectiveness of the solution of the present invention, an installation according to FIG. 1 has been implemented in a conventional manner, as illustrated in FIG. 3, and for comparison, with a second protective enclosure 23, as illustrated in FIG. 4 according to the invention.
- the flow of gaseous nitrogen, coming out liquid in the form of jets 12 distributed by the nozzles 11 of the tool 4, is 300 m / h, whereas the suction flow rate by the suction system 25 is 1000 m 3 / h.
- the pressure P1 prevailing in the suction bell is between 0.60 and 0.99 bar, preferably between 0.90 and 0.98 bar, advantageously of the order of about 0.95 bar.
- the second protective enclosure 23 around the suction bell 20 and introducing 700 m 3 / h of dry gas therein, namely waste nitrogen from the upstream and downstream heat exchanger vents, regulated by a control / flow control system, reduces the amount of water vapor (moisture) to almost zero since the outside air is more sucked from the made of the pneumatic barrier created by the nitrogen curtain distributed by the protective enclosure 23.
- the pressure P1 prevailing in the suction bell is also of the order of 0.95 bar, while the pressure prevailing in the second Protective enclosure 23 is greater than or equal to atmospheric pressure, typically of the order of about 1.05 bar.
- the present invention is applicable in any treatment operation by jets of cryogenic fluid, in particular surface treatment, pickling or peeling, a material, such as metals, concrete, stone, plastics, wood etc.
