Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of evaporation and concentration, and specifically to a novel waste heat utilization device. Background Art

[0002] Evaporation is a unit operation that heats the solution, partially vaporizes the solvent, and removes it from the solution to increase the solute concentration. It is usually carried out in an evaporator, which consists of a heating chamber and an evaporation chamber. The heating chamber provides the heat required for evaporation, causing the liquid to boil and vaporize, and the solvent in the evaporation chamber becomes gaseous and separates from the liquid phase, achieving evaporation concentration.

[0003] In the multiple-effect evaporator, the heating steam first enters the first effect, and the secondary steam generated by the first effect enters the second effect as heating steam. Multiple evaporators are connected in series to form multiple-effect evaporation. Since the last effect is connected to the vacuum device, the operating pressure of the evaporation chamber gradually decreases during the multiple-effect operation, and the heating steam temperature of each effect and the boiling point of the solution to be evaporated also decrease successively.

[0004] As a type of multi-effect evaporator, the five-effect evaporator is favored by people because of its effective use of steam heat. Usually, people use water vapor as a heating agent to evaporate aqueous solutions. In order to distinguish, people call the water vapor used as a heat source heating steam or primary steam, and the steam evaporated from the solution secondary steam. The evaporator is essentially a heat exchanger, in which the material exchanges heat with the heat source, so that part of the solvent becomes gaseous and separates, thereby increasing the concentration of the material and achieving evaporation and concentration. There are many types of evaporators, such as single-effect, double-effect, triple-effect, quadruple-effect and five-effect. The more effects there are, the better the energy saving effect.

[0005] After searching, the announcement number CN212308891U discloses an energy-saving five-effect evaporator, including a five-effect evaporator body, a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger; the low-temperature medium inlet of the first heat exchanger is connected to the feed pipe, and the low-temperature medium outlet is connected to the raw liquid inlet of the five-effect tank; the concentrated liquid outlet of the five-effect tank is connected to the low-temperature medium inlet of the second heat exchanger; the low-temperature medium outlet of the second heat exchanger is connected to the raw liquid inlet of the four-effect tank; the four-effect tank, the three-effect tank, the two-effect tank and the one-effect tank are connected in sequence; the concentrated liquid outlet of the one-effect tank is connected to the high-temperature medium inlet of the second heat exchanger; the high-temperature medium outlet of the second heat exchanger is connected to the high-temperature medium inlet of the first heat exchanger; the high-temperature medium outlet of the first heat exchanger is connected to the finished product pipe. The five-effect evaporator preheats the raw liquid with a lower temperature through the high-temperature concentrated liquid after the concentration treatment, increases the temperature of the raw liquid, further saves energy, and improves the evaporation efficiency.

[0006] However, the above-mentioned five-effect evaporator still has the following problems: the secondary steam generated in the process of evaporation and concentration in the above-mentioned five-effect evaporator cannot be fully utilized, resulting in waste of heat in the secondary steam, which in turn causes heat loss, resulting in reduced product production efficiency and increased production costs.
