Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a rotary sealed explosion-proof heater based on nitrogen protection. Background Art

[0002] Existing explosion-proof heaters are prone to problems such as seal aging, external oxygen infiltration, and equipment overheating when operating in high-risk environments. Especially in flammable and explosive industries such as petroleum and chemical industries, these problems may lead to fire or explosion accidents. Traditional explosion-proof heaters mainly use physical seals and external coatings to prevent explosive gas leakage or ignition by external sparks, but these measures often fail in long-term use, leading to safety hazards. In addition, since the heater operates at high temperatures, the explosion-proof performance will gradually decrease with the aging of the sealing material or changes in environmental pressure, affecting the reliability and service life of the equipment.

[0003] The market is in urgent need of a new type of heating equipment with more reliable and durable explosion-proof performance, especially in harsh environments with high temperature and frequent pressure fluctuations, which can effectively prevent external air from entering the heater and fundamentally solve the safety problems of heating equipment in high-risk environments.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art are in urgent need of an explosion-proof heater that can provide stable nitrogen protection and maintain a positive pressure state to avoid oxidation and fire risks caused by oxygen infiltration, thereby improving the safety and life of the equipment.

[0037] For the purpose of greater clarity, the invention is described in detail through the following examples.

[0038] The heating module 200 includes an electric heating element with a power of 5kW, a heat pipe made of oxygen-free copper and an aluminum alloy heat sink fin design, the heat pipe has a diameter of 15mm and a length of 500mm, and is filled with 80% volume of n-octadecane phase change material. The heat sink fins are 0.5mm thick, 30mm high, and 2mm apart, evenly distributed outside the heat pipe, with a total heat dissipation area of ​​1.5 square meters; the rotary sealing device 300 includes a five-level labyrinth sealing structure, with a gap of 0.1mm and a depth of 5mm at each level, and a total length of 50mm. The material is zirconia ceramic, the surface roughness Ra value does not exceed 0.2μm, the rotating shaft 301 is driven by a permanent magnet synchronous variable frequency motor, the speed range is 50-3000rpm, and the torque accuracy is ±0.1%; the nitrogen protection module 400 includes a nitrogen storage tank, a two-stage pressure reducing valve and a positive pressure protection device 600. The volume of the nitrogen storage tank is 2 cubic meters. The internal pressure is maintained 200Pa higher than the external pressure through a flow control valve. The positive pressure protection device 600 monitors the internal pressure in real time through a pressure sensor and automatically adjusts the nitrogen flow when the pressure drops. The control module 500 is equipped with a platinum resistance temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, an electrochemical oxygen content sensor and a piezoelectric vibration sensor for real-time monitoring of the temperature, pressure and sealing status of the heater. Through the intelligent controller, the control module 500 can dynamically adjust the heating power and nitrogen flow rate, and the control accuracy reaches ±1°C for temperature and ±0.5kPa for pressure. The protection device 600 includes over-temperature protection and over-pressure protection functions. When the internal temperature of the heater exceeds the set threshold of 145°C, the over-temperature protection device 600 will cut off the power supply within 100ms through the thermal fuse. At the same time, the over-pressure protection device 600 automatically opens the pressure relief valve through the spring-loaded safety relief valve when the pressure exceeds 1.1 times the maximum working pressure. The self-cleaning device sprays nitrogen at a pressure of 0.8MPa through a high-pressure nitrogen nozzle, and automatically cleans the surface deposits of the heating module 200 every 8 hours to ensure the stability of the equipment for long-term operation. The energy recovery device uses temperature difference power generation technology to convert excess heat above 80°C into electrical energy, which is stored in a 12V / 100Ah lithium battery or fed back to the power grid to improve energy efficiency.

[0039] The following is an implementation example:

[0040] The explosion-proof heater is fixed to the equipment to be heated by bolts. The heating module 200, the electrical connection module and the nitrogen supply pipeline are all installed in the explosion-proof housing 100 through the quick connection interface. After the installation is completed, the explosion-proof housing 100 is fixed first, and the system starts the driving device 304. The driving device 304 drives the rotating shaft 301 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 301 drives the sealing ring 302 to rotate. The rotating shaft 301 has a threaded structure. When rotating, the sealing ring 302 will be farther and farther away from the explosion-proof housing 100, so that the pressure between the sealing ring 302 and the equipment to be heated is increasing, and the five-level labyrinth sealing structure on the sealing ring 302 can further enhance the sealing effect. The device is not sealed by the explosion-proof housing 100, but is sealed by the rotating sealing device 300, which avoids the overall leakage caused by damage to the explosion-proof housing 100 and has a stronger sealing effect.

[0041] Before starting the heater, nitrogen is first filled into the explosion-proof enclosure 100 through the nitrogen supply module to ensure that the internal oxygen concentration is lower than 0.1ppm and maintain a positive pressure state. When the pressure sensor detects that the internal pressure is 100Pa lower than the external pressure, the positive pressure protection device 600 automatically increases the nitrogen flow rate to ensure that the internal pressure is maintained within a safe range of not less than 200Pa.

[0042] When the control module 500 receives the start signal, the electric heating element starts working, and the heat is transferred to the aluminum alloy heat sink fins through the heat pipe to quickly dissipate the heat. The heat is stored and released through the n-octadecane phase change material inside the heat pipe, ensuring that stable heat output can still be provided in the event of a sudden power outage or load fluctuation.

[0043] The labyrinth sealing structure of the rotating sealing device 300 effectively prevents external gas or dust from entering the interior of the explosion-proof heater. At the same time, the high wear resistance of the zirconia ceramic material ensures the long-term operation of the sealing device. During the operation of the equipment, the speed of the rotating shaft 301 is controlled by a permanent magnet synchronous variable frequency motor to ensure high-precision torque control under different working conditions.

[0044] The heater is connected to the remote monitoring system through the built-in 4G-LTE communication module. The user can view the working status of the heater in real time through a mobile device or computer, and remotely adjust the heating power and nitrogen supply parameters; when the equipment has an abnormal situation, such as the temperature or pressure exceeds the set range, the over-temperature protection device 600 and the over-pressure protection device 600 will be activated immediately to cut off the power supply or release the pressure to prevent accidents.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
