The invention relates to a cooling process for
potassium nitrate production, which comprises a cooling tank, wherein a cooling mode of the cooling tank adopts internal cooling or external cooling which is selected according to the temperature of
mother liquor, the external cooling adopts a spraying water tank, the cooling tank is arranged in the spraying water tank, the internal cooling adopts an internal coil
pipe, the internal coil
pipe is arranged in the cooling tank; low-temperature
magnesium chloride is input into the inner coil
pipe, a buffer
pool is arranged on one side of the spraying
water pool, a
cooling pipe is arranged in the buffer
pool, the
cooling pipe is connected to the inner coil pipe; and after the absorption temperature of the low-temperature
magnesium chloride is increased, the low-temperature
magnesium chloride is cooled through the
cooling pipe and finally stored. The cooling process has the advantages that when the temperature of the
mother liquor is 80-50 DEG C, external cooling is adopted, that is,
tap water is sprayed to the cooling tank through the spraying water tank; when the temperature of the
mother liquor is gradually reduced and the temperature of the mother liquor is lower than 50 DEG C, water spraying is stopped, internal cooling is adopted, that is, low-temperature magnesium chloride is input into the inner coil pipe, so that the
cooling capacity consumption of the low-temperature magnesium chloride can be reduced.
