Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of evaporation, in particular to an evaporation system. Background Art
[0002] In the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, light industry and other industries, there is a large demand for wastewater treatment. In the process of treating wastewater, it is usually necessary to extract inorganic matter in the wastewater and increase the concentration multiple of the solution.
[0003] A circulating evaporator is a device that circulates and evaporates a solution for concentration and crystallization. Specifically, after heating the solution to a certain temperature, the material is boiled and evaporated to separate the water. The solution is then recirculated through a circulating pump, achieving multiple evaporation and concentration cycles to obtain a solution with a higher concentration. This process effectively saves energy and achieves resource recycling.
[0004] In the prior art, the circulating evaporator has problems such as small evaporation load rating, low evaporation efficiency and high operating cost under a certain evaporation load rating. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem of low evaporation efficiency and high operating costs when the evaporation load rating is small. The utility model provides an evaporation system with a high evaporation load rating. By concentrating the material efficiently, the system can achieve high evaporation efficiency. Under a certain evaporation load rating, the system can reduce the total load required for heating, thereby reducing energy consumption and lowering the cost of equipment operation.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiment of the present utility model discloses an evaporation system, comprising:
[0007] Feed channel;
[0008] crystallization chamber;
[0009] a first heating chamber, one end of which is in communication with the crystallization chamber;
[0010] a second heating chamber, one end of which is in communication with the crystallization chamber;
[0011] A forced circulation pump, the crystallization chamber, the first heating chamber, the forced circulation pump and the second heating chamber are interconnected to form a circulation channel, the feed channel is connected to the circulation channel, and is used to pass the material into the circulation channel, the forced circulation pump includes an inlet pipe and a liquid outlet pipe, the inlet pipe is connected to the first heating chamber, and the outlet pipe is connected to the second heating chamber, and is used to make the material flow from the outlet pipe in the circulation direction through the second heating chamber, the crystallization chamber, the first heating chamber, the inlet pipe, and the outlet pipe in sequence.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the crystallization chamber, the first heating chamber, the forced circulation pump and the second heating chamber are interconnected to form a circulation channel. The material that needs to be evaporated (such as industrial wastewater) can enter the circulation channel through the feed channel. When the evaporation system is running, the forced circulation pump can make the material flow from the liquid outlet pipe in the circulation direction through the second heating chamber, the crystallization chamber, the first heating chamber, the liquid inlet pipe, and the liquid outlet pipe in sequence. In this way, by reducing the mass of the forced circulation pump flow, the power of the forced circulation pump can be reduced, achieving energy-saving and consumption-reducing effects and reducing the operating costs of the equipment. According to the flow calculation formula of the forced circulation pump: Among them, Q is the evaporation load, c is the specific heat capacity (generally a constant value), m is the mass of the circulation pump flow, and Δt is the temperature difference before and after the material passes through the heating chamber. Therefore, it can be seen from the formula that when the system evaporation load Q is a constant value (that is, under a certain evaporation load rating), in the design of double heating chambers, the material is heated twice, which can increase the temperature difference before and after passing through the heating chamber, so as to reduce the mass m of the flow of the forced circulation pump, thereby reducing the power of the forced circulation pump and achieving energy saving and consumption reduction effects.
[0013] On the other hand, the design of the double heating chamber of the first heating chamber and the second heating chamber, compared with the single heating chamber and other schemes, on the one hand, according to the formula: Q = SKΔt, where S is the heating area, Q is the evaporation load, K is a constant, Δt is the heat transfer temperature difference, and Δt is usually a fixed value. Therefore, it can be seen from the formula that when the heating area increases, the evaporation load will increase. Therefore, compared with the single heating chamber and other schemes, when the size and structure of the heating chamber are consistent, the double heating chamber design can effectively increase the heating area of the material, and the evaporation load rating of the double heating chamber design is higher.
[0014] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an evaporation system is disclosed, comprising:
[0015] a first pipe, along the circulation direction, the first pipe comprising a first liquid inlet and a first liquid outlet, the first liquid inlet being disposed in the crystallization chamber, the first liquid inlet having a first height within the crystallization chamber, and the first liquid outlet being connected to the first heating chamber;
[0016] The second pipeline includes a second liquid inlet and a second liquid outlet along the circulation direction, the second liquid outlet is arranged in the crystallization chamber, the second liquid inlet is connected to the second heating chamber, the second liquid outlet has a second height in the crystallization chamber, and the first height is greater than the second height.
[0017] According to the above technical solution, the first liquid inlet has a first height in the crystallization chamber, and the second liquid outlet has a second height in the crystallization chamber, and the first height is greater than the second height, wherein the first height refers to the height of the first liquid inlet relative to the bottom of the crystallization chamber, and the second height refers to the height of the second outlet relative to the bottom of the crystallization chamber. The material circulates along the circulation direction in the evaporation system, and after passing through the first heating chamber and the second heating chamber in sequence and entering the crystallization chamber, the material has reached the temperature for precipitating crystals. At this time, the crystals precipitated by the material in the crystallization chamber sink to the bottom of the crystallization chamber, and a clear liquid is formed above the crystallization chamber. Since the first height is greater than the second height, the crystals precipitated by the heated material after entering the crystallization chamber will sink toward the bottom, that is, sink in the direction away from the first liquid inlet, thereby allowing as much clear liquid as possible to flow into the first liquid inlet for the next heating and crystallization, and the cycle continues until the crystals in the material are completely precipitated. Since clear liquid is used in each circulation, compared with the situation where a mixed liquid with crystals is used in the circulation heating, it can prevent the fine crystals in the material from accumulating in other pipelines of the evaporation system (for example, enriching and growing on the rough pipe wall until the pipeline is blocked), causing pipeline blockage and corrosion. It can effectively improve the evaporation efficiency and avoid cavitation caused by insufficient flow of the forced circulation pump due to pipeline blockage.
[0018] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses an evaporation system, wherein the inner wall of the first pipe is provided with a first anti-vortex baffle, and in the radial direction, the first anti-vortex baffle and the inner wall of the first pipe jointly define a first flow channel and a second flow channel, and / or, the inner wall of the second pipe is provided with a second anti-vortex baffle, and in the radial direction, the second anti-vortex baffle and the inner wall of the second pipe jointly define a third flow channel and a fourth flow channel.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, a first anti-vortex baffle is provided on the inner wall of the first pipe, and a second anti-vortex baffle is provided on the inner wall of the second pipe, which can break up the vortex generated when the material flows, and prevent the vortex from bringing the precipitated crystals into the heating chamber, causing blockage of the heating tube in the heating chamber.
[0020] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the embodiment of the present invention discloses an evaporation system, wherein the first liquid outlet is arranged outside the crystallization chamber, the first anti-vortex baffle is arranged at the first liquid outlet, and the second anti-vortex baffle is arranged at the second liquid outlet.
[0021] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses an evaporation system, wherein the projections of the first anti-vortex baffle and the second anti-vortex baffle in the axial direction are in a straight line shape or a cross shape.
[0022] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an evaporation system is disclosed, comprising:
[0023] The first reducer includes a first small-diameter end and a first large-diameter end along the circulation direction, the first small-diameter end is communicated with the second heating chamber, and the first large-diameter end is communicated with the second liquid inlet.
[0024] Using the above technical solution, along the circulation direction, the first small-diameter end is connected to the second heating chamber, and the first large-diameter end is connected to the second liquid inlet. Combined with the laws of fluid motion, it can be seen that along the circulation direction, when the material flows from the second heating chamber through the first reducer and the second liquid inlet into the crystallization chamber, the material flows from the first small-diameter end (with a smaller cross-sectional area) to the first large-diameter end (with a larger cross-sectional area), and the material flow rate decreases. This can reduce the flow rate of the material entering and exiting the crystallization chamber, thereby ensuring the sedimentation of crystals precipitated from the material and the buoyancy of the clear liquid.
[0025] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses an evaporation system, including a connecting pipe, one end of the connecting pipe is connected to the liquid outlet pipe, and the other end is connected to the second heating chamber, and the feed channel is connected to the connecting pipe. Along a first direction, the feed channel is closer to the ground than the crystallization chamber, and the first direction is not parallel to the ground.
[0026] With this technical solution, the feed channel is located on the ground side of the second heating chamber. Before the evaporation system is operational, material is introduced through the feed channel, allowing it to slowly flow through the first and second heating chambers into the crystallization chamber. Furthermore, while the evaporation system is operating, material can be added to one end of the second heating chamber through the feed channel, allowing it to be heated and initially crystallized in the second heating chamber before recirculating.
[0027] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an evaporation system is disclosed, comprising:
[0028] A second reducer, along the circulation direction, the second reducer includes a second large-diameter end and a second small-diameter end, the second large-diameter end is connected to the first heating chamber, and the second small-diameter end is connected to the liquid inlet pipe; and / or
[0029] A third reducer, along the circulation direction, the third reducer includes a third large diameter end and a third small diameter end, the third small diameter end is connected to the liquid outlet pipe, and the third large diameter end is connected to the second heating chamber, or, along the circulation direction, the third reducer includes a third large diameter end and a third small diameter end, the third large diameter end is connected to the liquid outlet pipe, and the third small diameter end is connected to the second heating chamber.
[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, along the circulation direction, the second large diameter end is connected to the first heating chamber, the second small diameter end is connected to the liquid inlet pipe, the third large diameter end is connected to the second heating chamber, and the third small diameter end is connected to the liquid outlet pipe. Combined with the law of fluid movement, it can be known that along the circulation direction, when the material flows from the first heating chamber into the liquid inlet pipe through the second reducer, that is, the material flows from the second large diameter end with a larger cross-sectional area to the second large diameter end with a smaller cross-sectional area, the flow rate of the material increases. Similarly, when the material flows from the liquid outlet pipe through the third reducer into the second heating chamber, the material flows from the third large diameter end with a larger cross-sectional area to the third small diameter end with a smaller cross-sectional area, and the flow rate of the material increases. In this way, the flow rate of the material can be increased when passing through the liquid inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe of the forced circulation pump, and the crystals that may be accumulated near the liquid outlet pipe will be washed away, avoiding problems such as cavitation caused by crystal accumulation.
[0031] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses an evaporation system, wherein the liquid inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe intersect, and the liquid inlet pipe extends along a first direction, and the first direction is not parallel to the ground.
[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, when the material flows from the first heating chamber and the liquid inlet pipe to the liquid outlet pipe along the circulation direction, the material flows downward from a high place. Under the action of the gravity of the material itself, the flow rate of the material when passing through the liquid inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe of the forced circulation pump can be further increased, and the crystals that may be accumulated near the liquid outlet pipe will be washed away, thereby avoiding problems such as cavitation caused by crystal accumulation.

[0046] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0047] The evaporation system provided in the embodiments of this application can be widely used in various industries. For example, in sewage treatment plants, chemical plants, and pharmaceutical factories, the evaporation system can be used to treat various types of industrial wastewater. By utilizing the evaporation system, companies can convert pollutants in the wastewater into reusable resources, achieving waste reduction and harmless treatment. Furthermore, the evaporation system can also be widely used in the production of various products in the food industry, such as concentrated juice, soy sauce, salt, and dairy products. The evaporation system can be used to extract organic solvents and important chemicals, helping companies reduce production costs and improve process flows to enhance product quality.
[0048] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides an evaporation system, comprising a crystallization chamber 10, a feed channel 20, a first heating chamber 30, a forced circulation pump 40, and a second heating chamber 50, which are interconnected. The crystallization chamber 10, the first heating chamber 30, the forced circulation pump 40, the second heating chamber 50, and the crystallization chamber 10 are sequentially interconnected to form a circulation channel, and the circulation flow direction of the material in the circulation channel is as follows: Figure 1 As shown by the middle arrow a, the feed channel 20 is connected to the circulation channel for feeding the material into the circulation channel.
[0049] Exemplarily, the evaporation system includes a connecting pipe 21, one end of the connecting pipe 21 is connected to the forced circulation pump 40, and the other end is connected to the second heating chamber 50. The feed channel 20 is connected to the connecting pipe 21. Along the first direction X, the feed channel 21 is closer to the ground than the crystallization chamber 10 ( Figure 1 As shown by the middle dotted line b), the first direction X is not parallel to the ground. It can be understood that the first direction X can be perpendicular to the ground, or form an angle of 30°, 40°, 45°, 60°, 70.1°, 80°, etc. with the ground, which is not limited to this embodiment of the present application.
[0050] In addition, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the position of the feed channel 20. For example, the feed channel 20 can also be located away from the ground and directly connected to the crystallization chamber 10, or the feed channel 20 can also be connected to the first heating chamber 30.
[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The forced circulation pump 40 includes a liquid inlet pipe 41 and a liquid outlet pipe 42. The liquid inlet pipe 41 is connected to the first heating chamber 30, and the liquid outlet pipe 42 is connected to one end of the connecting pipe 21. The other end of the connecting pipe 21 is connected to the second heating chamber 50. The end of the second heating chamber 50 away from the ground is connected to the crystallization chamber 10, which is used to make the material flow along the circulation direction ( Figure 1 The liquid (in the direction indicated by arrow a) flows from the liquid outlet pipe 42 sequentially through the connecting pipe 21, the second heating chamber 50, the crystallization chamber 10, the first heating chamber 30, the liquid inlet pipe 41, and the liquid outlet pipe 42. Before the evaporation system is operational, material is introduced through the feed channel 20, allowing the material to slowly flow along the first and second heating chambers 30, 50, and into the crystallization chamber 10. Furthermore, while the evaporation system is operating, material can be added to one end of the second heating chamber 50 through the feed channel 20, allowing the material to be heated in the second heating chamber 50 for initial crystallization before participating in the material circulation.
[0052] Exemplarily, the forced circulation pump 40 is also called an axial flow pump. The forced circulation pump 40 includes at least a motor 401 and an impeller (not shown in the figure). The impeller is provided in the liquid outlet pipe 42 and is connected to the motor 401. The impeller is driven to rotate by the motor 401, and the thrust of the rotating impeller blades causes the liquid entering the liquid outlet pipe 42 to flow at high speed along the circulation direction. Exemplarily, the evaporation system also includes a discharge portion 102, which is provided at the bottom 103 of the crystallization chamber 10 and is connected to the crystallization chamber 10 for receiving the crystals precipitated in the crystallization chamber 10.
[0053] Using the above technical solution, the crystallization chamber 10, the first heating chamber 30, the forced circulation pump 40, and the second heating chamber 50 are interconnected to form a circulation channel. Material to be evaporated (e.g., industrial wastewater) can enter the circulation channel through the feed channel 20. When the evaporation system is in operation, the forced circulation pump 40 can cause the material to flow in a circulation direction from the liquid outlet pipe 42, sequentially through the second heating chamber 50, the crystallization chamber 10, the first heating chamber 30, the liquid inlet pipe 41, and the liquid outlet pipe 42. In this way, by reducing the mass of the forced circulation pump 40 flow rate, the power of the forced circulation pump 40 can be reduced, achieving energy conservation and consumption reduction effects, and reducing the operating costs of the equipment. According to the flow calculation formula of the forced circulation pump 40: m = Q / cΔT, among them, Q is the evaporation load, c is the specific heat capacity (usually a constant value), m is the mass of the circulation pump flow, and Δt is the temperature difference before and after the material passes through the heating chamber. Therefore, it can be seen from the formula that when the system evaporation load Q is a constant value (that is, under a certain evaporation load rating), in the design of double heating chambers, the material is heated twice, which can increase the temperature difference before and after passing through the heating chamber, so as to reduce the mass m of the flow of the forced circulation pump 40, thereby reducing the power of the forced circulation pump 40 and achieving energy saving and consumption reduction effects.
[0054] For example, when only the first heating chamber 30 is used, the material temperature before passing through the first heating chamber 30 is 35.5°C, and the temperature after heating in the first heating chamber 30 is 36.5°C, so Δt is 1°C. In the evaporation system provided in the embodiment of the present application, the material temperature before passing through the first heating chamber 30 is 35.5°C, and after passing through the first heating chamber 30 and the second heating chamber 50 in sequence, the temperature is 37.5°C, in which case Δt is increased to 2°C.
[0055] On the other hand, the design of the double heating chamber of the first heating chamber 30 and the second heating chamber 50, compared with the single heating chamber and other solutions, on the one hand, according to the formula: Q = SKΔt, wherein S is the heating area, Q is the evaporation load, K is a constant, Δt is the heat transfer temperature difference, Δt is usually a fixed value, so it can be seen from the formula that when the heating area increases, the evaporation load will increase. Therefore, compared with the single heating chamber and other solutions, when the size and structure of the heating chamber are consistent, the design of the double heating chamber can effectively increase the heating area of the material, and the evaporation load rating of the double heating chamber design is higher.
[0056] In some embodiments, see Figure 1The evaporation system includes a first pipe 60 and a second pipe 70, and the first pipe 60 and the second pipe 70 are both arranged in the crystallization chamber 10. For example, along the first direction X, the crystallization chamber 10 is an upper part 11 and a lower part 12, the first pipe 60 passes through the upper part 11 and the lower part 12, and the second pipe 70 is arranged in the lower part 12, the upper part 11 is cylindrical, and the lower part 12 is truncated cone. It can be understood that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the shape of the upper part 11 and the lower part 12. For example, the upper part 11 can also be a rectangular parallelepiped, and the lower part 12 can also be conical. For example, the crystallization chamber 10 includes a plurality of support rods 13, and the plurality of support rods 13 are arranged in the upper part 11, and one end of the plurality of support rods 13 is spaced around the inner wall 101 of the crystallization chamber 10, and the other end is spaced around the outer wall of the first pipe 60.
[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 Along the circulation direction, the first pipe 60 includes a first liquid inlet 61 and a first liquid outlet 62. The first liquid inlet 61 is provided in the crystallization chamber 10, and the first liquid outlet 62 is connected to the first heating chamber 30. The second pipe 70 includes a second liquid inlet 71 and a second liquid outlet 72. The second liquid outlet 72 is provided in the crystallization chamber 10, and the second liquid inlet 71 is connected to the second heating chamber 50. The first liquid inlet 61 has a first height h1 in the crystallization chamber 10. The first height h1 refers to the height of the first liquid inlet 61 relative to the bottom 103 of the crystallization chamber 10. The second liquid outlet 72 has a second height h2 in the crystallization chamber 10. The second height h2 refers to the height of the highest point of the second liquid outlet 72 relative to the bottom 103 of the crystallization chamber 10. The first height h1 is greater than the second height h2. Illustratively, one end of the support rod 13 is disposed on the inner wall 101 of the crystallization chamber 10 , and the other end is disposed on the outer wall of the first pipe 60 , for supporting the first liquid inlet 61 so that the first liquid inlet 61 can maintain the first height h1 .
[0058] The material circulates in the evaporation system along the circulation direction, and after passing through the first heating chamber 30 and the second heating chamber 50 in turn and entering the crystallization chamber 10, the material has reached the temperature for precipitating crystals. At this time, the crystals precipitated by the material in the crystallization chamber 10 sink to the bottom of the crystallization chamber 10 and enter the discharge part 102, forming a clear liquid above the crystallization chamber 10. Since the first height h1 is greater than the second height h2, the crystals precipitated after the heated material enters the crystallization chamber 10 will sink toward the bottom 103, that is, sink in the direction away from the first liquid inlet 61, thereby allowing as much clear liquid as possible to flow into the first liquid inlet 61 for the next heating crystallization, and the cycle is repeated until the crystals in the material are completely precipitated.
[0059] Since each cycle uses a clear liquid to participate in the circulation, compared to the slurry circulation in the prior art, that is, the situation where a mixed liquid with crystals participates in the circulation heating, the clear liquid circulation can ensure that the circulating material contains essentially no crystals or contains a small amount of crystals. At the same time, the density of the circulating material is low, thereby reducing the risk of crystallization inside the heating tube 302 blocking the pipeline, while also reducing the operating power of the axial flow pump. For example, it can prevent small crystals in the material from accumulating in other pipelines of the evaporation system (for example, enriching and growing on the rough pipe wall until the pipeline is blocked), causing pipeline blockage and corrosion, which can effectively improve the evaporation efficiency and avoid insufficient flow of the forced circulation pump 40 due to pipeline blockage, which will cause cavitation.
[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 Along the first direction X, the space above the first liquid inlet 61 is defined as a first water holding space, and the space below the first liquid inlet 61 is defined as a second water holding space. The first water holding space and the second water holding space are connected. The first water holding space is used to hold a clear liquid that does not include crystals, and the second water holding space is used to hold a mixed liquid that includes crystals. The second liquid outlet 72 is provided in the second water holding space. The first water holding space has a third height 113, and the third height 113 is greater than the first height h1.
[0061] Exemplarily, the third height h3 refers to the height of the liquid level of the clear liquid in the first water-containing space relative to the bottom 103 of the crystallization chamber 10. The third height h3 is greater than the first height h1, which can ensure the stable operation of the material circulation. It can prevent the material from falling below the first height h1 of the first liquid inlet 61, resulting in no material flowing into the first liquid inlet 61 and interrupting the circulation. It can also ensure that the first liquid inlet 61 is in the second water-containing space, that is, it ensures that almost all the liquid entering the first liquid inlet 61 is clear liquid, and the mixed liquid is prevented from entering the first liquid inlet 61 to participate in the circulation as much as possible, which can avoid the accumulation of material crystals in the first heating chamber 30. Exemplarily, the third height h3 can be 3m-5m. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific value of the third height h3. For example, it can also be 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, 5m, 6m, etc.
[0062] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 Combined with Figure 2The inner wall 601 of the first pipe 60 is provided with a first anti-vortex baffle 63. The first anti-vortex baffle 63 divides the inner wall 601 of the first pipe 60 into a first portion 6011 and a second portion 6012 along the radial direction Y. In the radial direction Y, the first anti-vortex baffle 63 and the first portion 6011 together define a closed first flow channel 631, and the first anti-vortex baffle 63 and the second portion 6012 together define a closed second flow channel 632. For example, the first liquid outlet 62 is provided outside the crystallization chamber 10, and the first anti-vortex baffle 63 is provided at the first liquid outlet 62. Since the material flowing from the first pipe 60 to the first heating chamber 30 is all clear liquid, the first anti-vortex baffle 63 can prevent the clear liquid vortex from carrying the crystals in the crystallization chamber 10 into the first heating chamber 30 and causing corrosion to the heating tube 302 of the first heating chamber 30. For example, the projection of the first anti-vortex baffle 63 in the axial direction Z is a straight line. When the number of the first anti-vortex baffle 63 is two, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, two first anti-vortex baffles 63 intersect, and the projection of the first anti-vortex baffles 63 in the axial direction Z is a cross. It is understandable that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of first anti-vortex baffles 63, for example, it can be 1, 3, 4, etc.
[0063] For example, refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 Combined with Figure 2 , the inner wall 701 of the second pipe 70 is provided with a second anti-vortex baffle 73. The second anti-vortex baffle 73 divides the inner wall 701 of the second pipe 70 into a third part 7011 and a fourth part 7012 along the radial direction Y. In the radial direction Y, the second anti-vortex baffle 73 and the third part 7011 together define a closed third flow channel 731, and the second anti-vortex baffle 73 and the fourth part 7012 together define a closed fourth flow channel 732. Exemplarily, the second anti-vortex baffle 73 is provided at the second liquid outlet 72. Since the materials flowing to the second heating chamber 50 through the second pipe 70 are all clear liquids whose temperature reaches the crystallization temperature, that is, they are equivalent to mixed liquids including crystals, the second anti-vortex baffle 73 can prevent the vortex of the mixed liquid from rushing into the first liquid inlet 61. Exemplarily, the projection of the second anti-vortex baffle 73 on the axial direction Z is a straight line. When the number of the second anti-vortex baffles 73 is 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the two second anti-vortex baffles 73 intersect, and the projection of the second anti-vortex baffles 73 in the axial direction Z is a cross. It is understandable that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of second anti-vortex baffles 73, for example, it can be 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
[0064] In addition, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the shapes of the first anti-vortex baffle 63 and the second anti-vortex baffle 73. For example, Figure 6 Combined with Figure 2The projection of the second liquid outlet 72 in the radial direction Y is a right-angled trapezoid. Correspondingly, the second anti-vortex baffle 73 provided at the second liquid outlet 72 is also a right-angled trapezoid. It is understandable that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the positions of the first anti-vortex baffle 63 and the second anti-vortex baffle 73. For example, the first anti-vortex baffle 63 can also be provided at the end of the first heating chamber 30 connected to the second liquid outlet 72.
[0065] In the above technical solution, the inner wall 601 of the first pipe 60 is provided with a first anti-vortex baffle 63, and the inner wall 701 of the second pipe 70 is provided with a second anti-vortex baffle 73. It is understandable that in the embodiment of the present application, based on a comprehensive consideration of factors such as cost and effect, only the first anti-vortex baffle 63 may be provided on the inner wall 601 of the first pipe 60, or only the second anti-vortex baffle 73 may be provided on the inner wall 701 of the second pipe 70.
[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The evaporation system includes a first reducer 81, which includes a first small-diameter end 811 and a first large-diameter end 812. The first small-diameter end 811 and the first large-diameter end 812 indicate that the cross-sectional areas of the first reducer 81 in the radial direction Y are different. The cross-sectional area of the first small-diameter end 811 is smaller than that of the first large-diameter end 812. For example, along the circulation direction, the first small-diameter end 811 communicates with the second heating chamber 50, and the first large-diameter end 812 communicates with the second liquid inlet 71.
[0067] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 Combined with Figure 1 、 Figure 2The evaporation system further includes a second reducer 82 and a third reducer 83. Along the circulation direction, the second reducer 82 includes a second larger diameter end 821 and a second smaller diameter end 822. The second larger diameter end 821 and the second smaller diameter end 822 indicate that the cross-sectional areas of the second reducer 82 in the radial direction Y are different, with the cross-sectional area of the second smaller diameter end 821 being smaller than that of the second larger diameter end 822. The second larger diameter end 821 communicates with the first heating chamber 30, while the second smaller diameter end 822 communicates with the liquid inlet pipe 41. Along the circulation direction, the third reducer 83 includes a third smaller diameter end 831 and a third larger diameter end 832. The third smaller diameter end 831 and the third larger diameter end 832 indicate that the cross-sectional areas of the third reducer 83 in the radial direction Y are different, with the cross-sectional area of the third smaller diameter end 831 being smaller than that of the third larger diameter end 832. The third larger diameter end 832 communicates with the second heating chamber 50, while the third smaller diameter end 831 communicates with the liquid outlet pipe 42. It can be understood that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the positions of the third large diameter end 832 and the third small diameter end 831 of the third reducer 83. For example, in order to facilitate the adaptation of the diameter of the liquid outlet pipe 42, along the circulation direction, the third reducer 83 includes a third large diameter end 832 and a third small diameter end 831, the third large diameter end 832 is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 42, and the third small diameter end 831 is connected to the second heating chamber 50.
[0068] For example, the first reducer 81, the second reducer 82, and the third reducer 83 are also referred to as reducers and reducers, meaning that along the flow direction of the fluid, the cross-sectional areas of the two ends of the reducer in the radial direction Y are unequal. In conjunction with the laws of fluid motion, it can be seen that along the circulation direction, when the material flows from the second heating chamber 50 through the first reducer 81 and the second liquid inlet 71 into the crystallization chamber 10, the material flows from the first small-diameter end 811 with a smaller cross-sectional area to the first large-diameter end 812 with a larger cross-sectional area, and the flow rate of the material decreases. This allows the flow rate of the material entering and exiting the crystallization chamber 10 to be lowered, thereby ensuring the sedimentation of crystals precipitated from the material and the floating of the clear liquid.
[0069] Similarly, combined with the laws of fluid motion, it can be seen that along the circulation direction, when the material flows from the first heating chamber 30 through the second reducer 82 into the liquid inlet pipe 41, that is, the material flows from the second large diameter end 821 with a larger cross-sectional area to the second small diameter end 822 with a smaller cross-sectional area, the material flow rate increases. Similarly, when the material flows from the liquid outlet pipe through the third reducer 83 into the second heating chamber 50, the material flows from the third large diameter end 832 with a larger cross-sectional area to the third small diameter end 831 with a smaller cross-sectional area, and the material flow rate increases. In this way, the flow rate of the material can be increased when passing through the liquid inlet pipe 41 and the liquid outlet pipe 42 of the forced circulation pump 40, which can flush away crystals that may accumulate near the liquid outlet pipe 42, thereby avoiding problems such as cavitation caused by crystal accumulation.
[0070] In some embodiments, the liquid inlet pipe 41 and the liquid outlet pipe 42 intersect, and the feed channel 20 extends along a first direction X, and the first direction X is not parallel to the ground. For example, the liquid inlet pipe 41 and the liquid outlet pipe 42 are perpendicular. Along the circulation direction, when the material flows from the first heating chamber 30 and the liquid inlet pipe 41 to the liquid outlet pipe 42, the material flows from a high place to a low place. Under the action of the gravity of the material itself, the flow rate of the material when passing through the liquid inlet pipe 41 and the liquid outlet pipe 42 of the forced circulation pump 40 can be further increased, and crystals that may be accumulated near the liquid outlet pipe 42 are washed away, avoiding problems such as cavitation caused by crystal accumulation. Cavitation refers to the process in which bubbles generated after liquid vaporization cause the metal surfaces of the impeller and other parts of the forced circulation pump 40 to peel off under the impact movement of liquid particles, thereby damaging components such as the impeller.
[0071] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 Combined with Figure 1 Each of the first heating chamber 30 and the second heating chamber 50 includes a shell 301 and a plurality of heating tubes 302. Each heating tube 302 extends along a first direction X. The plurality of heating tubes 302 are spaced apart within the hollow shell 301, and adjacent heating tubes 302 are sequentially connected. A tube sheet 303 is provided at one end of the hollow shell 301 near the crystallization chamber 10 along the first direction X. The plurality of heating tubes 302 are spaced apart on the tube sheet 303. On the one hand, the tube sheet 303 can secure the heating tubes 302. On the other hand, the tube sheet 303 can prevent material from entering the hollow shell 301, allowing the material to enter the heating tubes 302 directly. The first heating chamber 30 also includes a first steam channel 31, and the second heating chamber 50 also includes a second steam channel 51, for introducing hot steam into the hollow shell 301. The hot steam contacts the outer wall (not shown) of the heating tube 302, heating the material within the heating tube 302 through heat conduction. Exemplarily, the first steam channel 31 and the second steam channel 51 are communicated with each other, and hot steam is introduced through the same steam inlet 304 .
