[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0016] (1) In the present invention, a plurality of suspensions are arranged in the heating cylinder, and a plurality of electric heating tubes are arranged between the plurality of suspensions. Secondly, an upper partition is arranged above the top plate and inside the cylinder body. Then, a liquid inlet pipe and a liquid outlet pipe are arranged between the top plate and the bottom plate.

SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3As shown in the figure, the present invention is a crystallization heater for ammonium sulfate crystal processing, including a cylinder body 1, and a cylinder head 3 is arranged at the top of the cylinder body 1. First, a heating cylinder 4 is connected and arranged below the cylinder body 1, then a lower pipe cylinder 5 is arranged below the heating cylinder 4, and then a circulating liquid inlet 51 is opened below the lower pipe cylinder 5. At the same time, a circulating liquid outlet 53 is opened on one side of the lower pipe cylinder 5. In addition, a lower partition 52 is arranged inside the lower pipe cylinder 5;

[0025] Specifically, a top plate 41 is arranged at one end of the heating cylinder 4 connected to the cylinder body 1, and a bottom plate 42 is arranged at one end of the heating cylinder 4 connected to the lower pipe cylinder 5, that is, the top plate 41, the bottom plate 42 and the heating cylinder 4 form a sealed structure. Then, a number of suspension frames 410 are arranged inside the heating cylinder 4, and a number of electric heating tubes 43 are arranged between the suspension frames 410. Secondly, an upper partition 15 is arranged above the top plate 41 and inside the cylinder body 1, and a liquid inlet pipe 48 and a liquid outlet pipe 44 are arranged between the top plate 41 and the bottom plate 42. The liquid inlet pipe 48 and the liquid outlet pipe 44 are respectively located on both sides of the upper partition 15. In addition, a flash evaporation air inlet 45 is arranged on one side of the heating cylinder 4. When crystallizing ammonium sulfate crystals, ammonium sulfate liquid enters through the liquid inlet pipe 48, and at the same time, water vapor is introduced into the interior of the heating cylinder 4 through the flash evaporation air inlet 45. At the same time, when heating the water vapor, the electric heating tubes 43 can be turned on simultaneously to evaporate and crystallize the ammonium sulfate in the liquid inlet pipe 48. At the same time, since the liquid outlet pipe 44 is located on the other side of the upper partition 15, when ammonium sulfate flows from the liquid inlet 50 into the lower pipe cylinder 5, it will flow upward along the liquid inlet pipe 48 and then enter the cylinder body 1. When ammonium sulfate passes through the liquid inlet pipe 48, water vapor is introduced into the flash evaporation air inlet 45, and at the same time, the electric heating tubes 43 are turned on. When the water vapor contacts the liquid inlet pipe 48, the temperature of the ammonium sulfate in the liquid inlet pipe 48 will rise. After the temperature of the ammonium sulfate rises, the purpose of evaporation and crystallization can be achieved. At the same time, when the water vapor initially contacts the liquid inlet pipe 48, liquefaction will occur, and at this time, liquid water is generated, and the liquid water will flow out from the condensate outlet 49;

[0026] In addition, after ammonium sulfate enters the side of the upper partition plate 15 in the cylinder body 1 through the liquid inlet pipe 48, it will gradually accumulate. At the same time, its temperature continuously rises and evaporates, slowly precipitating crystals. At this time, the water vapor evaporated from ammonium sulfate will rise and flow out through the secondary steam outlet 31 on one side of the cylinder head 3. To ensure the fluidity of the water vapor and the effect of secondary utilization, the secondary steam outlet 31 is connected to the secondary steam inlet 46. Then, the water vapor at this time will be introduced into the heating cylinder 4. Since the water vapor flowing in from the secondary steam inlet 46 may be at a relatively low temperature, the electric heating tube 43 will continue to heat to ensure the utilization of the water vapor flowing in from the secondary steam inlet 46. At the same time, if the water vapor flowing in from the secondary steam inlet 46 forms liquid water while heating the liquid inlet pipe 48, it will also flow out through the condensate outlet 49;

[0027] While heating and evaporating ammonium sulfate, since the heating cylinder 4 is in a sealed state, to ensure the stability of the pressure inside the heating cylinder 4, two non-condensable gas outlets 47 are provided to adjust the pressure of the steam inside the heating cylinder 4;

[0028] When ammonium sulfate accumulates more and more on one side of the upper partition plate 15 in the cylinder body 1, its height will gradually exceed the height of the upper partition plate 15. At this time, ammonium sulfate will slowly flow downward through the liquid outlet pipe 44 on the other side of the upper partition plate 15. At this time, the ammonium sulfate passing through the liquid outlet pipe 44 will be heated again. After ammonium sulfate enters the inside of the lower cylinder 5, the ammonium sulfate with a higher degree of crystallinity sinks to one side of the lower partition plate 52 in the lower cylinder 5. At this time, the ammonium sulfate with a higher degree of crystallinity can be discharged, and the ammonium sulfate with a lower degree of crystallinity flows out through the circulating liquid outlet 53 and then flows in through the circulating liquid inlet 51 for circulating crystallization heating, so as to obtain a better crystallization effect of ammonium sulfate.

[0029] Specifically, a wire mesh 30 is arranged above the cylinder body 1 and inside the cylinder head 3. Then, a secondary steam outlet 31 is opened on one side of the cylinder head 3. A secondary steam inlet 46 is arranged above the flash steam inlet 45 on one side of the heating cylinder 4. The secondary steam outlet 31 is connected to the secondary steam inlet 46. At this time, the water vapor will flow into the heating cylinder 4. Since the water vapor flowing in from the secondary steam inlet 46 may have a relatively low temperature, the electric heating tube 43 will continue to heat, ensuring that the water vapor flowing in from the secondary steam inlet 46 is reused, improving the heat utilization rate of the entire heating process and reducing the production and processing cost. In addition, a return pipe 32 is arranged at the top of the cylinder body 1 and inside the cylinder head 3. When ammonium sulfate crystals evaporate water vapor, in order to prevent the flowing water vapor from carrying trace amounts of ammonium sulfate, a wire mesh 30 is set. The wire mesh 30 is made of a material with high filtration performance and can filter the flowing water vapor. At the same time, when the water vapor contacts the wire mesh 30, liquid water will also be formed, and the liquid water will flow back into the cylinder body 1 through the return pipe 32 and continue to evaporate.

[0030] Secondly, two rib plates 21 are symmetrically arranged at the top of the cylinder body 1. A baffle 2 is arranged between the two rib plates 21. On the one hand, the baffle 2 is used to disperse the ammonium sulfate filtered out by the wire mesh 30, so that it falls into the ammonium sulfate at the bottom of the cylinder body 1 from the four sides of the baffle 2. On the other hand, it avoids the direct evaporation and flow of water vapor, reduces the flow rate of water vapor, and increases the heating time of ammonium sulfate in the cylinder body 1.

[0031] Refer to Figure 2 As shown, a condensate outlet 49 is arranged below one side of the heating cylinder 4, and non-condensable gas outlets 47 are symmetrically arranged on the other side of the heating cylinder 4. The condensate outlet 49 is used to discharge the liquefied water, and the non-condensable gas outlets 47 are used to ensure the pressure inside the heating cylinder 4.

[0032] Refer to Figure 3 As shown, a liquid outlet 54 is arranged below the circulation liquid outlet 53 on one side of the lower tube cylinder 5, which is used to discharge ammonium sulfate with high cleanliness. A liquid inlet 50 is arranged on the other side of the lower tube cylinder 5, which is used to connect the initial ammonium sulfate liquid. The liquid outlet 54 and the liquid inlet 50 are respectively located on both sides of the lower partition 52.

[0033] Refer to Figure 1 As shown, a pressure gauge interface 11, a liquid level gauge interface 12 and a sight glass 13 are arranged on the side of the cylinder body 1. The pressure gauge interface 11 is used to connect a pressure gauge to monitor the pressure inside the cylinder body 1. The liquid level gauge interface 12 is used to connect a liquid level gauge to detect the height of the ammonium sulfate liquid inside the cylinder body 1. The sight glass 13 is for the convenience of workers to observe in real time. Secondly, a temperature measuring interface 14 is also arranged below one side of the cylinder body 1, which is used to connect a thermometer to facilitate the measurement of the temperature of the ammonium sulfate liquid inside the cylinder body 1.

[0034] Finally, a plurality of lugs 10 are arranged in a circular array on the sides of the cylinder body 1 and the heating cylinder 4 to ensure the installation and fixation of the entire device.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, as well as a specific orientation structure and operation. Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation to the present invention. In addition, "first" and "second" are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

[0036] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", "coupling", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0037] The above has described in detail an embodiment of the present invention, but the content described is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention and cannot be considered as used to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made according to the scope of the application of the present invention should still fall within the scope covered by the patent of the present invention.
