Abstract: A hot gas drying system for continuous material feeds, e.g. for textile processing, has the horizontal material feed (WB) inside a control jet (6) to spread the hot gasses even over the material. The gasses are supplied via a blower (5) whose inlet duct (7a) extends into a filter cage (11) around the burner. The extension of the inlet duct is profiled (8) to generate a venturi effect and is spaced away from the filter cage, with the end of the gas burner inside the duct. This creates a ring space for efficient mixing with the recirculated gasses.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé/appareil permettant de séparer en continu un milieu liquide contenant un diluant et des monomères inaltérés, à partir d'un effluent de polymérisation renfermant un diluant, des monomères inaltérés, et des solides polymères. On procède à cette séparation en évacuant en continu ledit effluent de polymérisation, par l'intermédiaire d'une soupape de décharge et d'un conduit de transfert, pour le faire passer d'un réacteur à combustible en suspension à un premier réservoir de détente à pression intermédiaire, lequel présente un fond conique défini par des cotés sensiblement droits, inclinés selon un angle perpendiculaire égal ou supérieur à l'angle d'éboulement de la suspension/des solides polymères. Cet effluent de polymérisation arrive ensuite dans une chambre hermétique d'évacuation d'un diamètre (d) et d'une longueur (l) permettant de maintenir le volume souhaité de la suspension/des solides polymères concentré dans cette chambre hermétique d'évacuation, afin de former une garniture d'étanchéité tout en continuant à décharger en continu le résidu de suspension/solides polymères depuis le premier réservoir de détente, formant ainsi un écoulement à effet bouchon depuis ladite chambre hermétique d'évacuation. L'effluent traverse ensuite le manchon de réduction de cette chambre hermétique, dont les cotés inclinés, définis par des cotés sensiblement droits, sont inclinés selon un angle perpendiculaire égal ou supérieur à l'angle d'éboulement desdits polymères solides qui restent après qu'environ 50 à 100 % du diluant inerte ait été éliminé pour être évacué vers un second réservoir de détente à faible pression.
