Vapour-current cyclone condensor

摘要

A condensor for removing vapour from freeze driers and other containers is described which contains a three-stage vapour distributor in the form of a cyclone or turbine which is mounted to rotate about the axis of an elongated horizontal discharge pipe (output pipe, delivery pipe) which extends through the axial centre point of the condensor chamber. The discharge pipe holds the end and radial spray nozzles which are selectively spraying a cleaning fluid and sterilising vapour onto the inner surfaces of all the components inside the condensor chamber. The condensor includes a multiplicity of condensor parts which are arranged in a radially offset configuration about the discharge pipe in an optically tight configuration which has the effect that vapours impinge on the cold surfaces of the condensor parts before they touch the inner surface of the enclosing condensor chamber. An optical density is achieved by providing the condensor part as metal sheets which are constructed with a serpentine-shaped through-duct between them in order to circulate the coolant. As an alternative, the optical density can be achieved by providing a condensor part which is designed as a metal pipe construction which is bent into a serpentine configuration, open spaces being present between the bent sections, the arrangement of the tubular condensor parts being enclosed by a cylindrical wall, ...
