[0023] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the air heated by the air cooling system of the fractionation station after heat exchange (the air cooler system can also be installed if the stabilization station is equipped with one) passes through the air cooler outlet thermocouple 7, the air cooler outlet valve 8 is opened, the air cooler outlet vent valve 9 is closed, and the air passes through the filter cloth inlet valve 10, the main air inlet filter cloth 11 for filtration, the negative pressure gauge 12, and the baffle after the filter cloth outlet valve 13 in sequence. All the air-cooled and heated air is collected and then passes through the muffler 14 at the inlet of the main fan 15 and enters the main fan 15. According to the level of atmospheric temperature and the level of the inlet temperature of the main fan 15, by controlling the number of air cooler outlet valves 8 in use at each group of air cooling outlets, the inlet temperature of the main fan 15 can be increased by 10- 20℃, especially in winter, basically all of it is put into use, and at the same time, the circulating water consumption of the rich gas at the top of the distillation tower through the rich gas cooler 16 at the top of the distillation tower is reduced. The heat exchange effect of the air cooler 4 is judged according to the temperature of the thermocouple 7 at the outlet of each group of air coolers. If the temperature is too low, softened water or low-temperature condensate water is put into use through the flushing water pipeline 3 to flush and clean the air-cooled fins. The water for flushing the air-cooled fins passes through the air cooler 4 and is recovered to the water collection tank 5. It is then recycled to the flushing water pipeline 3 through the spray pump 6. The flushing water passes through the air cooler 4 and naturally cools down in the process of falling into the water collection tank 5. It is replaced according to the amount of dust in the water to maintain the cleanliness of the water and prevent dust from accumulating on the fins. According to the data of the negative pressure meter 12 , when the data is too large, it is necessary to replace the main air inlet filter cloth 11, open the air cooler outlet valve 8, open the air cooler outlet vent valve 9, close the filter cloth inlet valve 10, and discharge the heated air after heat exchange in the air cooling system to the atmosphere. The filter cloth outlet valve 13 is closed, and the main air inlet filter cloth 11 is cut out and replaced. When the main fan 15 is running, the drive motor 18 drives the worm 19 to rotate, the worm 19 drives the first bevel gear 28 to rotate, the first bevel gear 28 drives the second bevel gear 29 to rotate, the second bevel gear 29 drives the first transmission rod 30 to rotate, the first transmission rod 30 drives the third bevel gear 31 to rotate, and the third bevel gear 31 drives the fourth The bevel gear 32 rotates, and the fourth bevel gear 32 drives the rotating shaft 34 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 34 drives the second impeller 35 to rotate. The suction force generated by the rotation of the second impeller 35 discharges the residual heat into the heating chamber 22 through the air collecting hood 26, the air inlet pipe 25 and the air delivery pipe 24, thereby making the internal temperature of the protective cover 21 uniform, and making the muffler 14 evenly heated, thereby improving the anti-frost effect. At the same time, the worm 19 drives the worm wheel 36 to rotate, and the worm wheel 36 drives the second transmission rod 37 to rotate, and the second transmission rod 37 drives the cam 38 to rotate, and the cam 38 drives the connecting rod 39 to move horizontally, and the connecting plate 42 drives the block 43 to reciprocate and open and close the exhaust port 23, thereby allowing the preheating to fully stop for heat exchange. Example 2

[0024] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that: a plurality of electric heating wires are fixedly installed inside the gas pipe 24, a controller is fixedly installed on the connecting tube 27, a temperature sensor is installed on the muffler 14, and the temperature sensor, the controller and the electric heating wire are connected. The temperature sensor can monitor the temperature of the muffler 14. When the temperature is lower than the set threshold, the temperature sensor sends an instruction to the controller, and the controller controls the electric heating wire to start and perform temperature compensation.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto.
