Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sampling devices, in particular to a cooling system applied to gas-liquid two-phase fluids. Background Art

[0002] The main vulcanization process for all-steel and semi-steel tires is mostly nitrogen vulcanization. The main heat source of the nitrogen vulcanization process is steam, and auxiliary nitrogen provides pressure. In order to reduce the energy consumption of the factory, after the vulcanization process, it is necessary to recover this part of the nitrogen as much as possible, and a part of the nitrogen is pressurized to become high-pressure nitrogen, and the other part can be used directly as fixed nitrogen. This part of the pressurized nitrogen is usually equipped with a supercharger to achieve supercharging. In order to reduce the energy consumption of the supercharger, it is necessary to reduce the temperature of this part of the nitrogen as much as possible.

[0003] In the prior art, since the recovered nitrogen contains saturated wet steam and tiny rubber particles, the current design is usually to cool the recovered nitrogen to 35°C in a water-cooled shell and tube heat exchanger after passing through a steam-water separation device, and then divide it into the above two parts for use. This process requires a large amount of cooling water, which increases the design capacity of the normal temperature cooling water pump and cooling tower. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the problems existing in the background technology, the utility model provides a cooling system for gas-liquid two-phase fluid, which includes:

[0005] Air cooler connected to the nitrogen recovery pipeline;

[0006] A shell and tube heat exchanger connected in series with the air cooler, wherein the air inlet of the shell and tube heat exchanger is connected to the air cooler through a pipeline, and the air outlet is connected to the supercharger through a pipeline;

[0007] A shaped nitrogen storage tank connected to the pipeline between the air cooler and the shell and tube heat exchanger.

[0008] In a preferred solution, a condensate discharge device is further provided on the pipeline between the air cooler and the shell and tube heat exchanger, and the condensate discharge device includes a steam trap and a control valve.

[0009] In a preferred solution, the air cooler is equipped with a variable frequency fan.

[0012] The beneficial effects achieved by the utility model are:

[0013] The utility model greatly reduces the heat dissipation of recovered nitrogen by providing an air cooler and a shell and tube heat exchanger connected in series with the air cooler, and provides high-temperature shaping nitrogen, thereby reducing the steam consumed in the tire shaping process. At the same time, the graded cooling of the air cooler and the shell and tube heat exchanger fully utilizes the cooling capacity of the air, reduces the design capacity of the shell and tube heat exchanger, the normal temperature cooling water pump and the cooling tower, and reduces the operation and maintenance costs.
