[0027] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses a pure water heating device for the production of tetramethylammonium hydroxide, including a frame 1. The frame 1 is made of profile. Multiple platforms 2 are arranged in the frame 1 from top to bottom, and each platform 2 is equipped with a heating unit 3.
[0030] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the heating unit 3 includes a water tank 301. One end of the water tank 301 is provided with a water tank inlet 302, and the other end is provided with a water tank outlet 303. Multiple vertically arranged cylinders 304 are provided in the water tank 301. The upper and lower ends of the cylinders 304 extend to the outside of the water tank 301, and the outer wall of the cylinders 304 is sealed and welded to the water tank 301. A detachable tube shell 305 is provided in the cylinder 304. An electric heater 306 is provided in the tube shell 305. The lower end of the tube shell 305 is provided with a tube shell inlet 307, which is connected to an inlet branch pipe 308. One end of the inlet branch pipe 308 is connected to the water tank outlet 303. The upper end of the tube shell 305 is provided with a tube shell outlet 309, which is connected to an outlet branch pipe 310.
[0031] Multiple baffles 311 are installed in the water tank 301 from the inlet side to the outlet side. Each baffle 311 divides the internal space of the water tank 301 into multiple preheating chambers 312, and each preheating chamber 312 is provided with multiple cylinders 304. Furthermore, in order to improve the heat transfer from the cylinders 304 to the preheating chambers 312, multiple heat dissipation fins 317 can be provided on the outer wall of the cylinders 304.
[0032] In this embodiment, the shell 305 is U-shaped, and an upper connecting plate 315 is welded to the upper outer wall of the shell 305. A lower connecting plate 316 is welded to the upper end of the cylinder 304. The upper connecting plate 315 and the lower connecting plate 316 are connected by a bolt assembly.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the electric heater 306 includes an end plate 306-1, which is connected to the upper port of the tube housing 305 via a bolt assembly. An electric heating element assembly 306-2 is disposed on the inner side of the end plate 306-1, and the electric heating element assembly 306-2 is located within the tube housing 305. A removable end cap 306-3 is disposed on the outer side of the end plate 306-1, covering the wiring terminals of each electric heating element assembly 306-2. The end cap 306-3 is provided with a wire-through hole 306-4.
[0034] In this embodiment, the frame 1 is composed of multiple stacked unit frames 101. Adjacent unit frames 101 are fixed by bolts. A ladder 4 is provided on one side of the frame 1. Maintenance personnel can enter the platform 2 of each layer through the ladder 4 to repair and replace the tube shell 305 and electric heater 306 in the cylinder 304.
[0035] The working process of this invention is as follows: Pure water enters the water tank 301 through the water inlet 302. The heat from the electric heating tube assembly 306-2 is conducted to the preheating chamber 312 through the cylinder 304 and the tube shell 305 to preheat the pure water in the preheating chamber 312. This preheating process makes full use of the heat dissipated by the tube shell 305. The baffle plate 311 in the water tank 301 increases the water flow path, facilitating sufficient heat exchange.
[0036] The preheated pure water in water tank 301 enters each pipe shell 305 through water tank outlet 303 and inlet branch pipe 308. The electric heater 306 in pipe shell 305 will reheat the pure water, and then it will flow into outlet branch pipe 310 through pipe shell outlet 309. In order to monitor the water temperature, temperature sensors can be added to water tank 301 and each pipe shell 305.
[0037] Each water tank 301 is equipped with multiple cylinders 304. The shell 305 and the electric heater 306 in each shell 304 are detachable. Valves are installed at the inlet 307 and outlet 309 of the shell, so that the heating of a single shell 305 can be cut off individually by the valve. This facilitates equipment maintenance, while ensuring normal operation of the equipment.
[0038] Example 2
[0039] This embodiment improves the internal structure of the shell 305 based on the technology of Embodiment 1, further improving the heat exchange efficiency and making the heating of pure water more uniform.
[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and 6 As shown, an outer water guide sleeve 313 is provided on the outside of the electric heating tube assembly 306-2. The upper end of the outer water guide sleeve 313 is welded and fixed to the end plate 306-1. A gap is left between the outer wall of the outer water guide sleeve 313 and the inner wall of the tube shell 305. An inner water guide sleeve 314 is provided in the outer water guide sleeve 313. The lower end of the inner water guide sleeve 314 is opposite to the water inlet 307 of the tube shell, and the lower end of the inner water guide sleeve 314 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tube shell 305.
[0041] The electric heating tube assembly 306-2 includes an outer heat pipe 306-2-1 and an inner heat pipe 306-2-2. The outer heat pipe 306-2-1 is located in the interlayer between the outer water jacket 313 and the inner water jacket 314, and the inner heat pipe 306-2-2 is located in the inner water jacket 314.
[0042] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
