Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dryers, and particularly to a new type of shunt zero-air-consumption compression heat regeneration dryer. Background Art
[0002] Currently, in industry, the drying treatment of compressed air usually adopts the adsorption method, that is, the desiccant absorbs the moisture in the compressed air, making the wet air become dry air. Since there is no chemical reaction between the moisture and these desiccants, the amount of the desiccant does not decrease, so there is no need to add extra desiccant usually. However, after a long time of use, as the number of times of adsorbed moisture increases, the drying function will gradually decrease or even be lost over time.
[0003] In the prior art, the drying treatment of the desiccant is to heat the compressed gas or other regeneration media through an external heating device to heat and evaporate the moisture in the desiccant and discharge it. This operation method consumes extra energy and makes the drying treatment complicated. Summary of the Invention

By controlling the opening or closing of different valve bodies, the adsorption of the first tower body 1, the heating regeneration of the second tower body 2, the adsorption of the first tower body 1, the blowing and cooling regeneration of the second tower body 2, the adsorption of the first tower body 1, the standby of the second tower body 2, the adsorption of the first tower body 1, the adsorption of the second tower body 2, the adsorption of the second tower body 2, the heating regeneration of the first tower body 1, the adsorption of the second tower body 2, the blowing and cooling regeneration of the first tower body 1, the adsorption of the second tower body 2, the standby of the first tower body 1, and the adsorption of the second tower body 2, the adsorption of the first tower body 1, etc. are achieved. In this way, it reciprocates and cycles continuously to achieve the purpose of continuous operation.
[0032] The following takes the adsorption of the first tower body 1 as an example for illustration;
[0033] When the first tower body 1 adsorbs and the second tower body 2 is heated and regenerated, first, the high-temperature compressed air will enter the second tower body 2 after passing through the first valve body 19 and the second valve body 20, taking away the moisture of the regenerated desiccant inside, and then enter the first tower body 1 after passing through the third valve body 21, the fourth valve body 22, the first cooler 3, the second cooler 7, and the fifth valve body 23, and then enter the dust removal filter 5 after passing through the sixth valve body 24 for filtration, and then be discharged to the gas-using point.
[0034] When the first tower body 1 adsorbs and the second tower body 2 is blown and cooled for regeneration, the seventh valve body 25 is opened, and the first valve body 19 and the fourth valve body 22 are closed. At this time, the compressed air will enter the second tower body 2 after passing through the seventh valve body 25, the first cooler 3, the water removal filter 4, and the eighth valve body 26 to cool the regenerated desiccant, and then enter the second tower body 2 again after passing through the second valve body 20 and the third cold blowing pipeline 14, and then enter the first tower body 1 through the ninth valve body 27 and the tenth valve body 28, and then enter the dust removal filter 5 through the sixth valve body 24 for filtration and then be discharged to the gas-using point.
[0035] When the first tower body 1 adsorbs and the second tower body 2 is on standby, the fifth valve body 23 is opened, and the ninth valve body 27, the eighth valve body 26, and the second valve body 20 are closed to enter the standby program. The standby time refers to the duration between the end of cooling and the switching between the first tower body 1 and the second tower body 2. When the drying working time set by the PLC controller 31 is reached or a pressure dew point warning appears, the standby time ends. When the cooling process ends, the ninth valve body 27, the tenth valve body 28, the eighth valve body 26, and the second valve body 20 will be automatically closed, and the fifth valve body 23 will be opened. During standby, if the temperature of the compressed air entering the second heating pipeline 9 is lower than the set value or the dew point temperature is lower than the set value, the heater 32 can start automatically to ensure the stability of the dew point.
[0036] When the first tower body 1 adsorbs and the second tower body 2 adsorbs, after standby, open the eighth valve body 26 and the twelfth valve body 30, and enter the program of the first tower body 1 adsorbing and the second tower body 2 adsorbing, waiting for the next switch with thermal regeneration, that is, open the first valve body 19, the fourth valve body 22, the tenth valve body 28, the eleventh valve body 29 and the twelfth valve body 30, close the seventh valve body 25, the fifth valve body 23 and the sixth valve body 24, enter the second tower body 2 to adsorb, and the first tower body 1 has a thermal regeneration process. Repeat this process in a cycle to achieve the purpose of continuous operation.
[0037] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the implementation manners and protection scope of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it should be realized that all the solutions obtained by equivalent replacement and obvious changes made by using the description and illustrations of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
