Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and in particular relates to a low-temperature and high-efficiency MVR evaporator. Background Art

[0003] Evaporation and crystallization is an effective way to treat high-salt wastewater. Mechanical vapor compression (MVR) technology is considered to be the most advanced evaporation and crystallization technology in the world for its advantages of energy saving, water saving, pollution-free, and recyclable crystallized salt. Compared with traditional evaporation systems, the MVR system only needs to introduce raw steam as a heat source at startup. When secondary steam is generated, the system operates stably without the need for an external heat source, greatly reducing energy consumption and operating costs. In addition, the equipment occupies a small area, is easy to operate, and has low safety hazards. At present, MVR technology is being widely used in wastewater treatment in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and photovoltaic industries due to its technical characteristics and advantages.

[0004] However, traditional evaporators are prone to scaling during the treatment process, which requires regular cleaning of the evaporator equipment, greatly affecting production efficiency. Scaling mainly occurs on the heat exchanger of the device. The current cleaning method mainly uses chemical cleaning or disassembly cleaning, which has high chemical costs and is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0005] In summary, there is an urgent need to find an effective method to effectively enhance the operating performance of the evaporator by reducing the accumulation of dirt on the heat exchanger plates, thereby improving the practicality of MVR. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a low-temperature and high-efficiency MVR evaporator and its application, which improves the production efficiency of the evaporator by avoiding frequent scaling of the heat exchanger plates. For the heat exchanger plates, on the one hand, a hydrophobic PDMS coating can be applied on the surface thereof, and on the other hand, the scaling of the water flow can be disturbed by inserting a vibration plate to resonate, thereby achieving the purpose of strengthening the anti-scaling performance of the plate heat exchanger.

The vibration plate (92) is located between the isolation plate (91) and the ordinary plate (93). The vibration plate (92) transmits vibration energy to the ordinary plate (93).

[0011] Furthermore, the vibration plate groups are provided in 1 to 5 groups and are evenly distributed in the first forced circulation plate heat exchanger (5) or the second forced circulation plate heat exchanger (8).

[0012] Furthermore, the four sides of the isolation plate (91), the vibration plate (92) and the ordinary plate (93) are respectively closed by sealing rings to prevent water from flowing through; the vibration plate (92) is partially hollowed out to form a vibration sheet to drive the transmission of vibration energy between the isolation plate (91) and the ordinary plate (93).

[0013] Furthermore, the vibration plate (92) operates intermittently through a timer control.

[0014] Furthermore, the surface of the common plate (93) is coated with a hydrophobic PDMS coating.

[0015] Furthermore, the material flow rate in the first forced circulation plate heat exchanger (5) or the second forced circulation plate heat exchanger (8) is 1.5 to 2 m / s.

[0016] Further, the preparation method of the PDMS coating is as follows:

[0017] Dissolve polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) in n-hexane, add tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and dibutyltin laurate (DBTDL), stir and mix evenly, and then ultrasonically treat for 5 to 20 minutes and then stand at room temperature for crosslinking for 2 to 6 hours to obtain a PDMS pre-crosslinking solution.

[0018] Furthermore, the volume amount of n-hexane is 10-30 mL / g based on the mass of PDMS.

[0019] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the PDMS, tetraethyl orthosilicate and dibutyltin laurate is 50-100:1-10:1.

[0020] Furthermore, the ratio of the amount of the PDMS solution to the area of ​​the ordinary plate is 0.1 to 0.5 mL / cm 2 .

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0023] (2) The present invention further enhances the anti-scaling capability of the heat exchanger by coating a hydrophobic PDMS coating on the surface of the metal plate of the heat exchanger;

[0024] (3) The present invention improves the anti-scaling ability of the heat exchanger by providing a filter, thereby reducing the need for frequent cleaning of the heat exchanger and improving the production efficiency of the MVR evaporator. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
