Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cooling device technology, and in particular to a sealed cooling system for a urea liquid ammonia pump. Background Technology
[0002] Liquid ammonia is a commonly used raw material in the daily production of urea. During use, liquid ammonia is mainly transported by plunger pumps. Currently, the sealing and cooling of plunger pumps during operation mainly relies on the circulation of lubricating oil. However, there are certain problems with using lubricating oil for circulation and cooling. For example, the circulation of lubricating oil not only wastes oil but also causes environmental pollution. Furthermore, the heat carried away by the lubricating oil during circulation is unstable. In particular, after long-term use of lubricating oil, the trace amounts of ammonia leaking from the packing cannot be absorbed in time, resulting in a strong ammonia odor from the ammonia pump. Regular replacement of the lubricating oil is required, which greatly increases production costs. In response to this, this application proposes a sealing and cooling system for a urea liquid ammonia pump. Summary of the Invention

A buffer tank located below the impeller is integrally arranged inside the cooling box. An overflow plate is integrally connected to the left end of the buffer tank. An overflow groove is integrally arranged at the left end of the overflow plate. Multiple overflow channels are evenly distributed longitudinally at the bottom of the overflow groove. A closed partition plate abutting against the overflow groove is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cooling box.

[0009] 1. In the process of use, this application uses dilute ammonia water from the urea production process as a sealing water medium (i.e., cooling medium) to circulate and cool the plunger pump. Compared with the traditional use of lubricating oil for cooling, dilute ammonia water is an easily obtained product in the production process, which greatly reduces the production cost. In addition, the use of dilute ammonia water for circulation cooling can also absorb the trace amounts of ammonia leaked from the packing in a timely manner. With the circulation and absorption of leaked ammonia, the concentration of dilute ammonia water will gradually increase. When its concentration reaches a certain value, it can be recycled to the hydrolysis system for reuse, which greatly reduces the production cost.

[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-8 The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail.
[0022] In Example 1, the technical solution is as follows: During use, dilute ammonia water from the urea production process is used as the sealing water medium (i.e., cooling medium) to circulate and cool the plunger pump 1. Compared to the traditional method of using lubricating oil for cooling, dilute ammonia water is an easily obtainable product in the production process, greatly reducing production costs. Furthermore, the use of dilute ammonia water during circulation cooling can also absorb trace amounts of ammonia leaking from the packing material. With repeated use and absorption of leaked ammonia, the concentration of dilute ammonia water will gradually increase. When its concentration reaches a certain value, it can be recycled to the hydrolysis system for reuse, significantly reducing production costs. Further, this application includes a cooling device 9 to cool the heated dilute ammonia water, thereby ensuring that the dilute ammonia water maintains its cooling effect during circulation.
[0023] In Example 2, based on Example 1, specifically, during use, the cooling water tank 2, or sealed water tank, contains a certain amount of dilute ammonia water with a concentration of 7%. During cooling operations, the discharge valve 4 on the discharge pipe 3 and the metering pump 5 are opened, and the booster pump 6 is started. Simultaneously, the waste discharge valve 30 on the waste discharge pipe 29 is kept closed to ensure circulating cooling. The metering pump 5 delivers the dilute ammonia water from the cooling water tank 2 to the cooling chamber of the plunger pump 1 at a set flow rate, thereby cooling the plunger pump 1. After the dilute ammonia water cools the plunger pump 1 through the cooling chamber, its temperature rises. Then, under the action of the booster pump 6, it is transported to the cooling tank 8 through the recovery pipe 7. The cooling tank 8 is equipped with a cooling device 9 to cool the dilute ammonia water, thus ensuring that the dilute ammonia water maintains its cooling effect during circulation.
[0024] Specifically, when the cooling device 9 is in operation, the cooling pipe is connected to the refrigeration unit in the plant area. Its specific structure will not be described in detail in this application. The refrigeration unit delivers cold air to the cooling box 8 through the cold air pipe 23 to cool the dilute ammonia water. The dilute ammonia water with increased temperature is discharged from the outlet end of the recovery pipe 7 by the action of the booster pump 6. The discharged dilute ammonia water will impact the impeller 12 and fall into the buffer tank 13. As the liquid level in the buffer tank 13 rises, the dilute ammonia water will enter the overflow tank 15 through the overflow plate 14. After entering the guide tank 31, the dilute ammonia water will fall in the form of a water curtain through the overflow hole. The water curtain is relatively thin due to the overflow, which can improve the efficiency of cooling the dilute ammonia water. In addition, this setting can also greatly reduce the scouring of the equipment caused by directly pouring dilute ammonia water and improve the service life of the equipment. Simultaneously, when the dilute ammonia water impacts the impeller 12 through the recovery pipe 7, it will drive the rotating shaft 20 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 20 will drive the power unit 24 through the large pulley 25. Specifically, the rotation of the rotating shaft 20 will cause the large pulley 25 to rotate, and the large pulley 25 will drive the driven shaft 26 to rotate through the belt 32 and the small pulley 28. The rotation of the driven shaft 26 will cause the driving bevel gear 27 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the driving bevel gear 27 will drive the rotating shafts 20 on each mounting plate 19 to rotate through the driven bevel gear 22. Consequently, the cooling fan blades 21 will also rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 20. The cooling air in the cooling box 8 is blown through the conical tube 18 and acts on the water curtain, thereby cooling the water curtain (i.e., dilute ammonia water). The evenly distributed conical tubes 18 not only facilitate the uniform application of cooling air to the water curtain, but also, due to their physical structure, further reduce the internal energy of the cooling air as it passes through, thus further reducing its stability and improving the cooling efficiency of the dilute ammonia water curtain. The outlet of the conduit 10 is connected to the cooling water tank 2, and the cooled dilute ammonia water returns to the cooling water tank 2 through the conduit 10 for circulation cooling. The enclosed partition 17 facilitates the partitioning of the cooling box 8 and the utilization of the cooling air. The guide groove 31 on the overflow plate 14 facilitates uniform overflow.
[0025] In Example 3, based on Example 2, the dilute ammonia water in the cooling water tank 2 is sampled and tested periodically. When the concentration rises to a certain value, the discharge valve 4 is closed and the waste discharge valve 30 is opened. The dilute ammonia water with increased concentration can then be transported to the hydrolysis system or other processes through the waste discharge pipe 29, so that the dilute ammonia water can be reused.
