Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of sludge drying, and in particular to a closed sludge drying device based on the MVR principle. Background Art

[0002] Conventional sludge thermal drying technologies mainly include thin layer drying technology, disc drying technology, paddle drying technology, belt drying technology, etc. Among them, belt drying technology is different from other drying technologies. The heat medium passes through the sludge to achieve direct heat exchange with the sludge, thereby achieving the purpose of drying the sludge. The belt drying process is highly favored because it has the characteristics of no sticky stage, almost no dust, and little wear in the dryer. In addition, belt drying technology can also be used in combination with other drying technologies.

[0003] The sludge belt dryer can adapt to a variety of heat sources, especially can effectively utilize low-temperature and low-quality heat sources, such as hot water, waste heat flue gas, etc., thereby reducing operating costs; at the same time, the sludge belt dryer has the advantages of simple equipment structure, extremely low dust generation, safe operation and convenient product dryness adjustment.

[0004] The MVR principle is used for sludge drying, with low operating costs and significant energy-saving effects. However, the use of secondary steam to directly contact the sludge for heat and mass transfer can easily cause condensed liquid to directly enter the sludge, causing secondary moisture in the sludge, affecting the MVR drying effect and even preventing the drying process from proceeding normally.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention designs a closed MVR sludge drying device. Summary of the invention

[0008] Furthermore, the heating rollers are connected by pipelines to form multiple groups of configurations, dynamic and static joints are arranged at both ends of the heating rollers, and a transmission mechanism is arranged only at one end.

[0009] Furthermore, the discharging conveyor belt and the drying conveyor belt run in opposite directions.

[0010] Furthermore, a heating coil is arranged on the outer periphery of the screw feeder.

[0011] Furthermore, the discharge port is provided with a wing valve sealing structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the transmission sprockets include two, and the adjacent heating rollers are connected via a chain.

[0013] When the device is working, firstly, high-temperature steam is introduced as the starting steam through the three-way valve; the sludge enters the box through the screw feeder and is scattered on the drying conveyor belt through the feed disperser; the high-temperature steam enters the heating drum from the steam inlet of the heating drum assembly; the sludge transfers heat with the heating drum during the movement of the conveyor belt, and the water in the sludge evaporates into secondary steam. The secondary steam is cleaned, collected and heated through the filter, vacuum pump and compressor, and converted into high-temperature steam to replace the starting steam. The vapor-liquid mixture discharged from the steam outlet of the heating drum assembly is separated by the vapor-liquid separator, and the higher-temperature water is pumped to the heating coil on the periphery of the screw feeder through the water pump to fully recover the heat, and the low-temperature condensed water is discharged; the water vapor in the vapor-liquid separator is recycled together with the secondary steam.

The sludge is continuously fed, forming a continuous sludge drying operation.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] (1) The secondary steam generated by sludge drying is mechanically recompressed to fully utilize the latent heat of vaporization of water vapor, realize the MVR drying process, and significantly reduce the operating costs of sludge drying.
