Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circulating water scale inhibition equipment, in particular to a circulating water system scale inhibition device. Background Art

[0002] At present, circulating cooling water is widely used in many industrial production processes. Since circulating cooling water contains high concentrations of hardness ions, it leads to the formation of sediments. Such sediments are deposited or accumulated on the surface of various equipment, which is scaling. Common scales include CaCO3, MgCO3, CaSO4, BaSO4, and SrSO4, among which CaCO3 scale is the most common and has the greatest harm. Scaling can reduce thermal efficiency, block pipelines, accelerate local corrosion under scale, reduce service life, and shut down equipment. Therefore, solving the scaling problem of circulating cooling water has been a long-term concern of the water treatment industry.

[0003] Descaling methods are mainly divided into chemical methods and physical methods. Among them, chemical methods include ion exchange softening method, lime softening method, and scale inhibitor method. Physical methods include ultrasonic descaling technology, magnetization treatment, and electrochemical treatment technology. Chemical methods are easy to operate and save manpower and material resources, but chemical methods require the addition of chemical reagents, which causes secondary pollution to the environment and makes the water body prone to eutrophication. At the same time, a large amount of reagents need to be added during actual application, which increases costs. Physical methods often use electrochemical treatment technology, but scale deposition on the cathode surface will cause the electrolysis efficiency to decrease. In order to solve the problem of cathode deactivation, descaling technology is very important for electrochemical scale inhibition; the mechanical scraping method is simple to descale the cathode surface, but the mechanical scraping method requires the installation of a scraper in the device, which increases the distance between the anode and cathode, resulting in reduced scale inhibition efficiency and increased energy consumption. At the same time, since the scraper is mostly in direct contact with the box body, long-term contact can easily cause wear of the box body. Therefore, a new scale inhibition device for circulating water systems is needed. Utility Model Content

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a scale prevention device for a circulating water system comprises a liquid pool 1, a first delivery pump 2 and a plurality of circulating water processors 3 connected in sequence, a liquid inlet is provided at the upper part of the side wall of the circulating water processor 3, and the liquid inlet is in the tangent direction of the side wall of the circulating water processor 3. The liquid pool 1 and the first delivery pump 2 are connected to the liquid inlet through a pipeline, and a water outlet 8 is provided at the top center of the circulating water processor 3, and the water outlet 8 is connected to the liquid inlet of the next circulating water processor 3 through a pipeline, and after being processed by the circulating water processor 3 for multiple times, it is ensured that the circulating water is fully descaled.

[0028] A second delivery pump 4 is provided between the circulating water treatment devices 3. The inner wall of the circulating water treatment device 3 is made of metal. The inner wall of the circulating water treatment device 3 includes a first electrode 301 and a second electrode 302. An isolation belt 303 is provided between the first electrode 301 and the second electrode 302. The isolation belt 303 is made of insulating material, preferably ceramic or rubber material, to avoid mutual influence between the first electrode 301 and the second electrode 302. The first electrode 301 and the second electrode 302 are paired anodes and cathodes, and the electrodes can be switched to switch between cathode function and anode function to avoid excessive precipitation in the cathode area after long-term operation. The first electrode 301 and the second electrode 302 are connected to a power supply and a controller. The power supply is a DC power supply. The controller is used to switch the connection circuit between the first electrode 301 and the second electrode 302 and the positive and negative electrodes of the power supply; that is, to switch the polarity of the first electrode 301 and the second electrode 302.

[0029] The connection circuit includes a first circuit and a second circuit. In the first circuit, the first electrode 301 is connected to the positive pole of the power supply, and the second electrode 302 is connected to the negative pole of the power supply; in the second circuit, the first electrode 301 is connected to the negative pole of the power supply, and the second electrode 302 is connected to the positive pole of the power supply. When the circulating water treatment device 3 is working, only one circuit of the first circuit and the second circuit is connected. The controller controls the switching connection circuit to adopt the common connection method of switching the power supply electrode, and the specific connection is not repeated here.

[0030] Current sensors are provided on both the first circuit and the second circuit, and the current sensors are electrically connected to the controller. The controller can judge the scale accumulation in the cathode area according to the current change, and then switch the connection circuit. The first electrode 301 and the second electrode 302 occupy the same area of ​​the inner wall of the circulating water treatment device 3. The inner wall of the circulating water treatment device 3 except the isolation zone 303 is all cathode and anode, and the contact area with the circulating water is large, which is conducive to improving the descaling efficiency.

[0031] The circulating water treatment device 3 is a tapered cylindrical structure with a large upper end and a small lower end. The liquid inlet is in the tangent direction of the side wall of the circulating water treatment device 3. After the water enters the circulating water treatment device 3, it spirals down along the inner wall, and the flow rate increases, which makes it easy to separate the water from large particles. A sewage outlet 5 is provided at the bottom center of the circulating water treatment device 3. The impurities inside the circulating water treatment device 3 are discharged through the sewage outlet 5. The sewage outlet 5 is connected to the scale collection device 7 through a pipeline. A regulating valve 6 is provided between the sewage outlet 5 and the scale collection device 7. The regulating valve 6 is opened regularly to clean the scale deposited at the bottom of the circulating water treatment device 3.

[0032] Working process:

[0033] The water to be treated in the liquid pool 1 is transported to the liquid inlet of the circulating water treatment device 3 by the first delivery pump 2. The water spirally descends along the inner wall of the circulating water treatment device 3, and the flow rate increases, which makes it easy to separate the water from the large particles.

[0034] The controller is used to connect the first circuit, and the second circuit is disconnected. The first electrode 301 is the anode, and the second electrode 302 is the cathode. Water is electrolyzed under the action of the current, and calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide precipitation are generated in the cathode area and attached to the cathode area, resulting in a decrease in current.

[0035] When the current sensor detects a value lower than 40% of the initial current, the controller receives a signal to switch the connection circuit. At this time, the first circuit is disconnected and the second circuit is connected. The first electrode 301 becomes a cathode and the second electrode 302 becomes an anode. The anode electrolyzes water to produce O2 and H + , forming an acidic environment on the anode surface. + It accumulates continuously on the anode surface, and the pH value of the electrode surface gradually decreases, causing the scale layer near the anode surface to dissolve first, and then the outer scale layer will fall off one after another due to insufficient adhesion;

[0036] The scale spirals down with the water and falls to the bottom of the circulating water processor 3 under the action of centrifugal force and gravity. The regulating valve 6 is opened, and the scale falls into the scale collecting device 7, so that the scale precipitation in the circulating water processor 3 can be cleaned.

[0037] The treated water flows out from the water outlet 8 at the top of the circulating water processor 3 and can enter the next circulating water processor 3 for further treatment to ensure sufficient treatment.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solution deviate from the scope of the technical solution of the embodiments of the utility model.
