Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of drying, and in particular to drying equipment with a heat recovery function. Background Art

[0002] Drying equipment is a kind of equipment that uses heat energy to heat materials to remove moisture from them to achieve the purpose of drying. It is widely used in the fields of industrial production and agricultural processing in the prior art. The basic means of using the reverse Carnot principle to achieve the drying effect is the basic means adopted by the existing drying equipment. Its principle is roughly as follows: during the drying operation, the refrigerant is pressurized by the compressor to become a high-temperature and high-pressure gas, and then enters the condenser on the indoor side. The condensation and liquefaction of the refrigerant can release high-temperature heat to heat the air in the drying room. The materials in the drying box are vaporized and evaporated in the form of hot air. The evaporated water vapor is discharged by the dehumidification system to dry the materials. The refrigerant after condensation and heat release passes through the throttle valve to become a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid. Due to the sudden drop in pressure, the liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator and continuously absorbs the low-level heat energy of the surrounding air and quickly evaporates into a gaseous state. The refrigerant that absorbs a certain amount of energy flows back to the compressor and enters the next cycle. In this way, the refrigerant circulates continuously to transport the heat in the air to the drying box to achieve the drying effect.

[0003] However, in the existing drying equipment, the high-humidity and high-temperature gases discharged from the drying box are directly discharged into the natural environment, which results in a large amount of heat being wasted. At the same time, the hot air directly discharged in some special areas will also cause pollution to the external environment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0032] The present application proposes a drying device with a heat recovery function. The drying device proposed in the present invention aims to achieve heat recovery, using the heated gas to enter the condenser for further heating, and finally return to the drying box for drying. It not only improves the utilization rate of energy through heat recovery, but also avoids the continuous discharge of harmful gases to cause air pollution.

[0033] Embodiment 1

[0034] Combined with Figures 1 to 3As shown, in the first embodiment, the drying equipment in the present application includes a drying box 25, a heat exchanger and a heating unit, the heat exchanger includes a plurality of first flow channels and second flow channels arranged at intervals, the gases in the first flow channels and the second flow channels flow in opposite directions for heat exchange, the heating unit includes an evaporator 17 and a condenser 18 connected in series, and the setting positions of the evaporator 17 and the condenser 18 can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs, for example: the evaporator 17 and the condenser 18 are fixedly installed on the outside of the drying box 25, the two ends of the first flow channel are respectively connected to the windward side of the evaporator 17 and the inside of the drying box 25, the two ends of the second flow channel are respectively connected to the leeward side of the evaporator 17 and the windward side of the condenser 18, and the leeward side of the condenser 18 It is connected to the inside of the drying box 25, and the evaporator 17, the condenser 18, the first flow channel and the second flow channel are connected by pipes or air ducts to form a gas circulation loop. The high-temperature and high-humidity gas in the drying box 25 enters the heat exchanger through the first flow channel. After heat exchange, the temperature is reduced and enters the evaporator 17 to continue to cool down. The high-humidity gas becomes low-temperature and low-humidity gas after the temperature drops after passing through the evaporator 17. The low-temperature and low-humidity gas flows into the second flow channel of the heat exchanger to exchange heat with the high-temperature and high-humidity gas, thereby recovering part of the heat to make the temperature rise to become medium-temperature and low-humidity gas. The medium-temperature and low-humidity gas enters the condenser 18 to continue to heat up to form high-temperature and low-humidity gas, and the high-temperature and low-humidity gas flows back to the drying box 25 to continue drying and take away the moisture of the material.

[0035] Specifically, the heat exchanger in the present application can be fixedly arranged at the top position of the drying box 25, and of course, it can also be detachably fixed at the top of the drying box 25. The present application does not make specific restrictions, and the two fixing methods have no essential impact on the technical problems to be solved by the present application. A first fan unit 19 is arranged at a lower position inside the drying box 25, and the first fan unit 19 includes at least one fan. The leeward side (air outlet side) of the condenser 18 is arranged on the air suction side of the first fan unit 19, so that the dry hot air is continuously drawn into the drying box 25 under the action of the first fan unit 19. Preferably, the leeward side of the condenser 18 is arranged near the bottom position inside the drying box 25 to fully dry the material. The leeward side of the condenser 18 can be transported to the drying box 25 through the air duct, or it can be directly arranged on the inner side of the drying box 25.

[0036] Furthermore, the heating unit is a prior art, and only the necessary structure and principle are described here. In addition to the above-mentioned evaporator 17 and condenser 18, the heating unit also includes a compressor 20 and a throttling device 21. The compressor 20, the throttling device 21 and the evaporator 17 and the condenser 18 form a refrigerant circulation loop (it should be noted that the throttling device 21 and the compressor 20 are all existing components in the art, and their installation positions and specific structures have no effect on the implementation of this application, so in Figure 2The heat is transferred by the circulation of the refrigerant, wherein the compressor 20 compresses the gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas, and then sends it to the condenser 18 for heat release and cooling. After cooling, it becomes a medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant, and then passes through the throttling device 21 (expansion valve) to throttle and reduce the pressure, becoming a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixture, and then passes through the evaporator 17 to absorb heat from the air and vaporize, and after becoming a gas, it returns to the compressor 20 to continue the compression cycle. Preferably, the heating unit in the present application may also include at least one auxiliary air heating device (not shown in the figure), which is arranged on the gas circulation loop and connected in series with the condenser 18, so as to ensure that the temperature entering the drying box 25 is high enough.

[0037] For further information, see Appendix Figures 4 to 7 As shown, a heat exchanger in a specific embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 1, wherein the shape of the main body 1 includes but is not limited to a rectangular, cylindrical, etc. This embodiment is illustrated by taking a rectangular main body 1 as an example, the interior of the main body 1 is hollow, and a plurality of partitions are arranged inside the main body 1, and the interior of the main body 1 is divided into a plurality of elongated flow channels by the partitions, and these flow channels include a first flow channel 2 and a second flow channel 3, and the first flow channel 2 and the second flow channel 3 are arranged at intervals from each other, that is, the first flow channel 2 and the second flow channel 3 are separated from each other by the partitions, and a first air inlet 5 and a second exhaust port 6 are respectively arranged at one end of the main body 1, and a second air inlet 8 and a first exhaust port 7 are respectively arranged at the other end of the main body 1; specifically: one end of each first flow channel 2 is the first exhaust port 7, and the other end is the first air inlet 5, and one end of each second flow channel 3 is the second air inlet 8, and the other end is the second exhaust port 6. During the installation process, the first air inlet 5 is arranged inside the drying box 25, and the high-temperature and high-humidity gas in the drying box 25 is sucked into the first flow channel 2 through the first air inlet 5. The first exhaust port 7 is connected with the second air inlet 8, and the second exhaust port 6 is connected to the drying box 25. The high-temperature and high-humidity gas flows out through the first flow channel 2 and then flows back into the second flow channel 3, and continues to enter the drying box 25 through the second flow channel 3 for drying. When the high-temperature and high-humidity gas passes through the first flow channel 2 and exchanges heat with the gas in the second flow channel 3, the gas in the second flow channel 3 The temperature of the body will decrease after flowing out of the heat exchanger (or enter the evaporator 17 for cooling and dehumidification, or cool and dehumidify naturally through contact with the external environment), so the gas in the second flow channel 3 will exchange heat with the high-temperature and high-humidity gas in the first flow channel 2, so that the temperature of the low-temperature and low-humidity air in the second flow channel 3 will increase, and finally flow back to the drying box 25 for circulation heating (it can be heated by the condenser 18 or the electric heater), so that part of the heat in the first flow channel 2 can be recovered to continue drying, which plays a role in energy saving and environmental protection.

[0038] In addition, combined with Figure 4 , 8 As shown in Figures 9 and 10, after the high-temperature and high-humidity gas in the first flow channel 2 exchanges heat with the low-temperature gas in the second flow channel 3, the temperature of the gas in the first flow channel 2 decreases, so a small amount of condensation will also occur. In this embodiment, a first exhaust hood 9 is also provided on the outside of the heat exchanger. The first exhaust hood 9 is detachably connected to the main body 1. The first exhaust hood 9 is provided at the outer position of all the first exhaust ports 7. The first exhaust hood 9 can collect the gas in the first flow channel 2 to facilitate the discharge of the gas. In addition, at least one exhaust pipe 10 (three in this embodiment) is provided on the first exhaust hood 9, and a plurality of groups of spiral blades 11 are provided in the exhaust pipe 10. The spiral blades 11 can produce a swirl effect on the airflow to perform gas-liquid separation, so that the gas in the first flow channel 2 is cooled and the liquid droplets in the gas are collected by the swirl effect, thereby playing a certain dehumidification role and improving the dehumidification effect. Furthermore, a water collecting tray 12 may be provided in the first exhaust hood 9 . The water collecting tray 12 is provided below the exhaust pipe 10 . The water collecting tray 12 can collect the droplets collected in the exhaust pipe 10 , and then discharge or recycle them in a centralized manner through the water collecting tray 12 .

[0039] Furthermore, if Figure 8 , 9 As shown, the water collecting pan 12 in this embodiment is pull-out arranged. By opening a mounting opening 13 on the first exhaust hood 9, the water collecting pan 12 is inserted into the first exhaust hood 9 through the mounting opening 13, and a baffle 14 is also provided on one side of the water collecting pan 12. The baffle 14 is clamped on the outer side of the mounting opening 13, and a handle 15 is provided on the baffle 14 to facilitate pulling out the water collecting pan 12 for cleaning.

[0040] Furthermore, the heat exchanger also includes a second exhaust hood 16, which is provided with a circular opening and is connected to the pipeline through a flange, so as to facilitate the connection of the main body 1 with external equipment through the pipeline; the second exhaust hood 16 is detachably connected to the main body 1, and the second exhaust hood 16 is arranged on the outside of the second air inlet 8. In this embodiment, the first exhaust port 7 and the second air inlet 8 are arranged at the same end of the main body 1, and the first exhaust port 7 is arranged on the upper side of the second air inlet 8, that is, the second exhaust hood 16 is located below the first exhaust hood 9, and both are fixed to the end of the main body 1 by screw connection. Specifically, it can be: a peripheral extension plate is provided at the end of the main body 1, and the outer contour of the extension plate is consistent with the inner contour of the first exhaust hood 9 and the second exhaust hood 16. The first exhaust hood 9 and the second exhaust hood 16 are mounted on the extension plate, and then the first exhaust hood 9, the second exhaust hood 16 and the extension plate are fixed by screws, or a sealing material can be filled between the extension plate and the first exhaust hood 9 and the second exhaust hood 16 for sealing.

[0041] Preferably, the material of the partition is one of aluminum, copper and stainless steel, which has good thermal conductivity and high supporting strength.

[0042] Furthermore, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the heat exchanger, condenser 18 and evaporator 17 are all arranged outside the drying box 25, so it is necessary to specially set up a first flow guide hood 22, a second flow guide hood 23 and a third flow guide hood 24 for gas transportation, wherein the first flow guide hood 22 connects the first flow channel and the evaporator 17, the second flow guide hood 23 connects the second flow channel and the condenser 18, and the third flow guide hood 24 is provided on the inner side of the drying equipment, and the third flow guide hood 24 connects the evaporator 17 and the second flow channel, thereby forming a closed gas circulation loop to ensure the normal transportation of the gas.

[0043] The above are only specific embodiments that can be implemented. Those skilled in the art should know that each component in the heating unit (condenser 18, evaporator 17, compressor 20 and throttling device 21) can be adaptively adjusted according to the site, cost and design requirements, so that these components can be arranged at any position inside or outside the drying box 25 and equipped with corresponding pipelines for communication.

[0044] Embodiment 2

[0045] The present invention does not limit the specific directions and arrangements of the first air inlet 5, the second air outlet 6, the second air inlet 8 and the first air outlet 7. Fig.11 As shown, in the second embodiment of the heat exchanger, the following settings can also be made according to actual needs: the first air inlet 5 and the first exhaust port 7 are respectively arranged on both sides of the main body 1, the second air inlet 8 and the first exhaust port 7 are arranged on the same side and are spaced apart, and the second exhaust port 6 is arranged above the main body 1 and on a side away from the second air inlet 8.

[0046] Based on the specific heat exchanger proposed in the second embodiment, the present invention further proposes a second embodiment of a drying box, such as Fig.12 As shown, in the second embodiment, the drying equipment includes a drying box 25, a heat exchanger and a heating unit. Fig.11 As shown, the difference between it and the heat exchanger of embodiment 1 is that the setting directions of the air inlet and the exhaust port are different. The heating unit includes an evaporator 17 and a condenser 18 connected in series. The evaporator 17 is arranged at the top of the drying box 25 and is connected to the first exhaust port 7 through the first air guide cover 22. A second fan unit 27 is arranged at the upper exhaust port of the evaporator 17. The second fan unit 27 increases the wind pressure and improves the air flow efficiency. The air outlet side of the second fan unit 27 is connected to the second air inlet 8 through the third air guide cover 24, so that the air cooled and dehumidified by the evaporator 17 is transported back to the heat exchanger for heating.

[0047] In the second embodiment, the condenser 18 is arranged at a position above the drying box 25, and the air inlet side of the condenser 18 is connected to the second exhaust port 6 through the second air guide cover 23. The medium-temperature gas heated by the heat exchanger first enters the condenser 18 for the first heating. The air outlet side (i.e., the leeward side) below the condenser 18 is located at a lower position inside the drying box. An auxiliary air heating device 26 is arranged opposite to the air outlet side below the condenser 18. The position above the auxiliary air heating device 26 opposite to the condenser 18 is the air inlet side (i.e., the windward side), and the side of the condenser is the air outlet side. The hot air sent out from the bottom of the condenser 18 is sucked into the auxiliary air heating device 26 for the second heating through the first fan unit 19 arranged below the drying box 25, and then transported from the bottom of the drying box to the drying box for continuous drying.

[0048] In this embodiment, an auxiliary air heating device 26 is added, and the auxiliary air heating device 26 also adopts a heat exchanger structure with the same function and principle as the condenser 18, and the evaporator 17, the condenser 18, the compressor 20, the throttling device 21, etc. are connected in series to form a refrigerant circulation loop (it should be noted that the throttling device 21 and the compressor 20, etc. are all existing components in the field, and their installation positions and specific structures have no effect on the implementation of this application, so in Fig.12 The auxiliary air heating device 26 is connected in parallel with the condenser 18 to the refrigerant circulation loop, and heat is transferred by the circulating flow of the refrigerant. The compressor 20 compresses the gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas, and then sends it to the condenser 18 for the first heat release cooling and the auxiliary air heating device 26 for the second heat release cooling. After being cooled by the condenser 18 and the auxiliary air heating device 26, it becomes a medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant, and then passes through the throttling device 21 (expansion valve) to throttle and reduce the pressure, becoming a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixture, and then passes through the evaporator 17 to absorb heat in the air and vaporize, and after becoming a gas, it returns to the compressor 20 to continue the compression cycle.

[0049] The high-temperature and high-humidity gas in the drying box 25 enters the heat exchanger through the first flow channel. After heat exchange, the temperature is reduced and enters the evaporator 17 to continue to cool down. The high-humidity gas becomes low-temperature and low-humidity gas after the temperature drops after passing through the evaporator 17. The low-temperature and low-humidity gas flows into the second flow channel of the heat exchanger to exchange heat with the high-temperature and high-humidity gas, thereby recovering part of the heat to increase the temperature and become medium-temperature and low-humidity gas. The medium-temperature and low-humidity gas enters the condenser 18 to continue to heat up to form high-temperature and low-humidity gas. The high-temperature and low-humidity gas flows back to the drying box 25 to continue drying and remove moisture from the material.

[0050] Specifically, the heat exchanger in the present application can be fixed at the top position of the drying box 25, and of course can also be detachably fixed at the top of the drying box 25. The present application does not make specific limitations, and the two fixing methods have no essential impact on the technical problems to be solved by the present application.

[0051] The principle of the present invention is as follows: the high-temperature and high-humidity gas in the drying box 25 enters the first flow channel 2, then flows out of the heat exchanger through the first flow channel 2 and is connected to the cooling device (such as the evaporator 17) for cooling and dehumidification. The low-temperature gas after dehumidification returns to the second flow channel 3 through the second air inlet 8. The low-temperature gas absorbs the heat in the gas in the first flow channel 2 and is finally sent to the drying box 25 for cyclic drying (it can be heated by the condenser 18 and the auxiliary air heating device 26 before being sent in). The present invention allows the high-temperature and high-humidity gas in the drying box 25 to enter the first flow channel, then flows out of the heat exchanger through the first flow channel and is connected to the cooling device The device is used for cooling and dehumidification. The low-temperature gas after dehumidification returns to the second flow channel through the second air inlet. The low-temperature gas absorbs the heat in the gas in the first flow channel and is finally sent to the drying box 25 for cyclic drying. The heat exchanger proposed in the present invention can use the evaporator 17 to dehumidify the high-temperature gas, and use the high-temperature and high-humidity gas in the drying box 25 to exchange heat with the cold air after dehumidification, thereby realizing heat recovery. The heated gas enters the condenser 18 for further heating, and finally returns to the drying box 25 for drying. The energy utilization rate is improved by heat recovery, and the air pollution caused by the continuous discharge of harmful gases is avoided.
