Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of drying equipment and relates to an air drying system. Background Art
[0002] In the production of calcium carbide, the finished calcium oxide needs to be pressed into balls first. However, since the temperature during pressing cannot be too high, the finished calcium oxide needs to be cooled. Currently, natural wind is mostly used for cooling. However, since the natural wind carries moisture, the finished calcium oxide reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide. In this way, when the finished calcium oxide is pressed into pellets for use in the production of calcium carbide furnaces, the calcium hydroxide contained in the pellets decomposes at high temperatures to produce calcium carbonate, which is not conducive to the production of calcium carbide furnaces. Therefore, the moisture in the natural wind must be removed during cooling.
[0003] A Chinese patent document with reference publication number CN118236757A discloses a refrigerated compressed air dryer for removing moisture and impurities from compressed air. The working principle of the refrigerated compressed air dryer is to cool the compressed air to below the dew point so that the moisture is condensed out, and at the same time, the impurities in the compressed air are removed through devices such as filters.
[0004] Although existing methods can remove moisture, the use of freezing to remove moisture from natural wind to dry the air has a complex equipment structure and high removal costs. Utility Model Content
[0005] Aiming at the technical problem of high drying cost in the current calcium carbide production, the utility model provides an air drying system which utilizes crude calcium oxide to dry the air, removes moisture in the air separation, and reduces the cost.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:
[0007] An air drying system comprises a powder selector, a mixed fluidized bed and a cyclone which are connected in sequence; an air inlet which is connected to the inside of the mixed fluidized bed is also arranged on the mixed fluidized bed.
[0008] It is further defined that there are one or more air inlets; the multiple air inlets are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the mixed fluidized bed.
[0009] It is further defined that a feed port connected to the interior of the mixed fluidized bed is also provided on the mixed fluidized bed; the feed port is located below the air inlet; and the feed port is connected to a powder classifier.
[0010] It is further defined that a first electric valve is provided between the powder selector and the feed port.
[0011] It is further defined that a mixture outlet connected to the interior of the mixing fluidized bed is also provided on the mixing fluidized bed, and the mixture outlet is located above the air inlet; the mixture outlet is connected to the cyclone.
[0012] It is further defined that the air drying system also includes a fan connected to the cyclone.
[0013] It is further defined that the air drying system further includes a pneumatic conveying pump in communication with the cyclone.
[0014] It is further defined that the cyclone is provided with a mixture inlet, a dry gas outlet and a solid material outlet respectively; the mixture inlet is connected with the mixture outlet, the dry gas outlet and the solid material outlet respectively, the dry gas outlet is connected with a fan, and the solid material outlet is connected with a pneumatic conveying pump.
[0015] It is further defined that a second electric valve is also provided between the solid material outlet and the pneumatic conveying pump.
[0016] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0017] 1. The utility model uses the crude calcium oxide separated by screening as a desiccant to dry the natural wind air and remove moisture, which greatly reduces the air drying cost, realizes the recycling of waste resources, achieves the purpose of cost reduction and energy saving, and meets the requirements of chemical clean production.
[0018] 2. The utility model fully mixes natural air and crude calcium oxide in a mixed fluidized bed, which can accelerate the absorption of moisture in the natural air by the crude calcium oxide. The mixed material is then passed through a cyclone to separate the dried natural air gas from the desiccant solid, thereby improving the moisture absorption efficiency and avoiding entrained moisture.
[0019] 3. In the utility model, the separated dry air enters the finished calcium oxide unit through the fan, and the dry cooling air is used to cool the finished calcium oxide. Since the moisture in the air is completely absorbed, the cooling of the calcium oxide is not affected by the moisture, which is beneficial to the production of the calcium carbide furnace after the ball pressing is completed.
