[0031] In order to more clearly illustrate the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail in this section in conjunction with the drawings. In addition to the various embodiments described in this section, the present application can be implemented in other different ways, and those skilled in the art can make corresponding improvements, modifications and substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present application, so the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in this section. The scope of protection of the present application should be subject to the claims.
[0032] As shown in Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present application proposes an evaporation device with asynchronous mass transfer, which comprises a housing 1, a partition 2, a partitioned heat exchange unit 3, a compressor 4 and a circulating pump 5, and the partition 2 and the partitioned heat exchange unit 3 are both arranged inside the housing 1.
[0033] The housing 1 is formed with a space for accommodating evaporation liquid, which can be high-salinity waste liquid. The inside of the housing 1 is provided with a heat transfer zone 11 and an evaporation zone 12, and the height of the evaporation zone 12 is higher than that of the heat transfer zone 11.
[0034] The top of the housing 1 has two parts with different heights, the lower part of the top corresponds to the heat transfer zone 11, and the higher part of the top corresponds to the evaporation zone 12. The cross section of the housing 1 can be L-shaped, the part of the L-shaped extending along the horizontal direction X can be the heat transfer zone 11, and the part of the L-shaped extending along the vertical direction can be the evaporation zone 12. The heat transfer zone 11 and the evaporation zone 12 are connected. The liquid level of the evaporation liquid inside the housing 1 is lower in the heat transfer zone 11 than in the evaporation zone 12. The evaporation liquid in the heat transfer zone 11 can contact the top surface of the housing 1, and the liquid level of the evaporation liquid in the evaporation zone 12 has a gap with the top surface of the housing 1. Above the liquid level of the evaporation zone 12 is a vapor chamber 13, and the gas generated by the evaporation of the evaporation liquid in the evaporation zone 12 can be accommodated in the vapor chamber 13.
[0035] The partition wall heat exchange unit 3 is arranged in the heat transfer zone 11, and the partition wall heat exchange unit 3 comprises heat exchange pipes, and steam inlets 31 and condensed water outlets 32 are arranged at two ends of the heat exchange pipes respectively. The partition wall heat exchange unit 3 can transfer heat of steam in the heat exchange pipes to the evaporated liquid. The condensed water outlet 32 of the partition wall heat exchange unit 3 can extend to the outside of the shell 1, and the condensed water outlet 32 is used for discharging condensed water generated after steam heat exchange in the partition wall heat exchange unit 3.
[0036] The partition wall heat exchange unit 3 can be close to the top of the shell 1 of the heat transfer zone 11. Liquid pressure of the evaporated liquid around the partition wall heat exchange unit 3 (in the heat transfer zone) is greater than that of the evaporated liquid in the evaporation zone 12, so that evaporation of the evaporated liquid in the heat transfer zone 11 is inhibited, and thus the partition wall heat exchange unit 3 is less fouled, and the stable operation time of the evaporation device is prolonged.
[0037] The steam chamber 13 is provided with a steam outlet which is communicated with the gas inlet end of the compressor 4, and the gas outlet end of the compressor 4 can be connected to the steam inlet 31 of the partition wall heat exchange unit 3. Steam generated in the evaporation zone 12 can be converted into a high-quality heat source after being compressed by the compressor 4, and then supplied to the partition wall heat exchange unit 3 in the heat transfer zone 11, so that the heat of the steam is utilized, and energy consumption is reduced. The compressor 4 can make the pressure in the steam chamber 13 lower than the saturation pressure of the evaporated liquid in the evaporation zone 12, and make the steam be pressurized and delivered to the partition wall heat exchange unit 3, so as to provide high-temperature steam as a heat source for the partition wall heat exchange unit 3.
[0038] Further, the evaporation device further comprises a steam supplement port 41 for supplying steam to the partition wall heat exchange unit 3, and the steam supplement port 41 can be arranged in a pipeline connecting the compressor 4 and the partition wall heat exchange unit 3. When the evaporation device starts to operate in an asynchronous mass transfer mode, the steam chamber 13 has not generated steam or has a small amount of steam, and steam can be supplied to the steam inlet 31 of the partition wall heat exchange unit 3 through the steam supplement port 41, so as to provide heat for the heat transfer zone 11 and heat the evaporated liquid.
[0039] Further, the evaporation device further comprises a liquid supplement port 42 for supplying liquid to the partition wall heat exchange unit 3 from the steam inlet 31, and the liquid supplement port 42 can be arranged in a pipeline connecting the compressor 4 and the partition wall heat exchange unit 3. Supplying liquid to the steam inlet 31 of the partition wall heat exchange unit 3 through the liquid supplement port 42 can reduce the temperature of the compressed steam and the superheat degree of the compressed steam, so as to reduce the temperature difference between the compressed steam and the evaporated liquid near the steam inlet 31 of the partition wall heat exchange unit 3, and avoid the formation of crystals of the evaporated liquid near the steam inlet 31 of the partition wall heat exchange unit 3.
[0040] The bottom of the shell 1 can be provided with a slag discharge port 15, and the slag discharge port 15 can be located at the bottom of the evaporation zone 12.
[0041] Further, in the horizontal direction X of the heat transfer zone 11 pointing to the evaporation zone 12, the bottom surface of the shell 1 can form a downwardly inclined slope, and the slag discharge port 15 can be located at the bottom end of the slope. A small amount of solid crystals formed by evaporation in the heat transfer zone 11 can flow to the slag discharge port 15 at the bottom of the evaporation zone 12 under the action of gravity, and the crystals generated by evaporation can be concentrated at the bottom of the evaporation zone 12 and discharged through the slag discharge port 15.
[0042] Since the liquid level of the heat transfer zone 11 is lower than the liquid level of the evaporation zone 12, and the heat transfer zone 11 and the evaporation zone 12 are communicated, the liquid pressure of the heat transfer zone 11 is higher than the liquid pressure of the evaporation zone 12, and the pressure of the evaporation liquid at the highest position of the heat transfer zone 11 is higher than the saturation pressure of the evaporation liquid (at the highest temperature of the liquid), so the evaporation liquid in the heat transfer zone 11 hardly evaporates, and thus the fouling of the partition heat exchange unit 3 is less.
[0043] The partition plate 2 can define a circulation channel for the evaporation liquid inside the shell 1, so that the evaporation liquid flows in circulation in both the heat transfer zone 11 and the evaporation zone 12. Figure 1 The dashed arrows in the figure represent the flow direction of the evaporation liquid. The partition plate 2 can include a partition plate first portion 21 extending in the horizontal direction X as a whole and a partition plate second portion 22 extending in the vertical direction Y as a whole. The liquid level of the evaporation zone 12 exceeds the upper edge of the partition plate second portion 22, so that the evaporation liquid can flow in circulation over the upper edge of the partition plate second portion 22.
[0044] The partition plate first portion 21 can be arranged below the partition heat exchange unit 3 of the heat transfer zone 11, and the partition plate second portion 22 can be arranged in the evaporation zone 12. On the oblique upper side of the partition plate 2 (on the left upper side of the partition plate 2 in the figure), the evaporation liquid can flow from the heat transfer zone 11 to the evaporation zone 12, and on the oblique lower side of the partition plate 2 (on the right lower side of the partition plate 2 in the figure), the evaporation liquid can flow from the evaporation zone 12 to the heat transfer zone 11. Figure 1 Figure 1
[0045] It can be understood that the above-mentioned embodiments only exemplarily disclose a structure of a partition plate that can facilitate the circulation of the evaporation liquid between the heat transfer zone 11 and the evaporation zone 12, and the present application is not limited thereto. For those skilled in the art, the partition plate structure capable of forming a circulation channel can be arranged according to the specific circumstances, and even if no partition plate is arranged, the evaporation liquid can also circulate between the heat transfer zone and the evaporation zone only relying on the driving of the steam and the power of the liquid supplement.
[0046] The adjacent portions of the partition plate first portion 21 and the partition plate second portion 22 can have a gap therebetween, which can form a slag discharge channel 23, and the slag discharge channel 23 can lead to the slag discharge port 15.
[0047] The first portion 21 of the partition plate can form an inclined surface, and the first portion 21 of the partition plate extends downwardly to the slag discharge passage 23, so that the crystalline produced by evaporation is concentrated by the inclined surface and discharged to the slag discharge port 15 through the slag discharge passage 23.
[0048] The circulation pump 5 can be connected to the shell 1 through a pipe, and the evaporation liquid can be sprayed from the outlet of the circulation pump 5 to the inside of the shell 1, which helps the evaporation liquid to circulate. The circulation pump 5 can provide power for the evaporation liquid to circulate in the inside of the shell 1.
[0049] The pipe of the inlet end of the circulation pump 5 can be connected to the shell 1 at a position away from the heat transfer area 11 on the second portion 22 of the partition plate, at which position the evaporation liquid can flow downwardly from the top. The pipe of the outlet end of the circulation pump 5 can be connected to the shell 1 at a position below the first portion 21 of the partition plate. The circulation speed of the evaporation liquid can be controlled by controlling the rotating speed or power of the circulation pump 5, so as to help maintain the temperature of the evaporation liquid in the heat transfer area 11 to be lower than the boiling point of the evaporation liquid.
[0050] The heat transfer area 11 can be provided with a liquid supplement port 14, through which the evaporation liquid can be supplemented to the heat transfer area 11. The liquid supplement port 14 can correspond to the edge portion of the first portion 21 of the partition plate, and the evaporation liquid entering the shell 1 from the liquid supplement port 14 can flow around the partition plate 2 through the edge portion of the first portion 21 of the partition plate. By controlling the flow rate of the supplemented evaporation liquid, the temperature of the evaporation liquid in the heat transfer area 11 can be maintained to be lower than the boiling point of the evaporation liquid.
[0051] The inside of the shell 1 can be provided with a liquid level sensor, and the liquid level detection can be used to feedback adjust the liquid inflow of the liquid supplement port 14, so that the liquid inflow is equal to the evaporation amount, the liquid level is kept stable, and the liquid pressure of the heat transfer area 11 is in a stable state.
[0052] In the present embodiment, the combustion gas is not used in the heat transfer area 11, and there is no flue gas chamber above or on the top of the heat transfer area 11.
[0053] The working process of the asynchronous mass transfer evaporation device will be described below.
[0054] When the asynchronous mass transfer evaporation device is started, steam is introduced into the steam inlet 31 of the partition wall heat exchange unit 3 through the steam supplement port 41, so as to provide heat for the heat transfer area 11 and heat the evaporation liquid. The evaporation liquid in the heat transfer area 11 is maintained in an unsaturated state, and the evaporation liquid is heated but not evaporated. The evaporation liquid is circulated in the heat transfer area 11 and the evaporation area 12 by the circulation pump 5, the pressure of the evaporation area 12 is smaller, and the evaporation liquid evaporates in the evaporation area 12. The steam produced by evaporation is compressed by the compressor 4 and then introduced into the partition wall heat exchange unit 3 as a heat source, and the evaporation liquid is heated by the partition wall heat exchange unit 3. The crystalline produced by evaporation can be discharged from the shell 1 through the slag discharge port 15.
[0055] The application can obtain the following beneficial effects through the technical scheme.
[0056] (1) The height difference formed by the heat transfer area 11 and the evaporation area 12 enables the evaporating liquid to maintain an unsaturated state in the heat transfer area 11, so that the heating and non-evaporation of the evaporating liquid are realized, the crystallization caused by evaporation is reduced to form scale on the partition heat exchange unit 3, the heat exchange efficiency of the partition heat exchange unit 3 is higher, and the evaporation device can be stably operated for a longer time.
[0057] (2) The steam generated by evaporation can be compressed by the compressor 4 and delivered to the partition heat exchange unit 3 as a heat source for the heat transfer area 11, so that the heat of the steam is effectively utilized, and the energy consumption of the evaporation device is lower.
[0058] (3) The crystallization produced by evaporation can be concentrated through the inclined surface of the bottom of the shell 1 and the inclined surface of the first part 21 of the partition plate and discharged through the slag discharge port 15.
