[0025] The tank body 10 is cylindrical and has an open top. Taking the storage of 10 tons of admixture as an example, the designed tank body diameter is 2300mm and the height is 2465mm. The tank body is made of two layers of stainless steel plates with three support rods 21, and a layer of thermal insulation cotton is sandwiched between the two layers of stainless steel plates.
[0026] The heat exchange device 20 includes three support rods 21 and seven annular heat exchange tube sheets 22. The lower ends of the three support rods 21 are supported on the bottom of the tank body 10, and the center lines thereof are connected to form an equilateral triangle.
[0027] Seven annular heat exchanger sheets 22 are fixedly installed on the outside of the support rod 21 at equal intervals from top to bottom, and the outer side of the annular heat exchanger sheet 22 is 25 cm away from the inner side of the tank body 10. In this embodiment, the distance between two adjacent heat exchanger sheets is 5 cm. In order to facilitate maintenance, a bayonet can be set on the inner or outer side of the heat exchanger sheet so that the heat exchanger sheet can be clamped on the support rod 21 through the bayonet; the lower end of the support rod 21 can also be unfixedly connected to the tank body and freely supported on the bottom of the tank body by gravity.
[0028] The circular ring of the annular heat exchanger tube sheet 22 is not closed, that is, a notch 222 is provided, so that hot water can enter from one end of the heat exchanger tube sheet and flow out from the other end, thereby extending the heat exchange time of hot water in each heat exchanger tube sheet. A water inlet and a water outlet are provided at both ends of each heat exchanger tube sheet. In this embodiment, the annular heat exchanger tube sheet 2 is made of a stainless steel plate with a thickness of 2 mm, and its cross-sectional channel 202 is a rectangle with a width of 5 cm and a height of 20 cm. Each annular heat exchanger tube sheet can accommodate 400L of liquid.
[0029] The inlets and outlets of the seven annular heat exchange tube sheets 22 are connected end to end through a connecting pipe 221 with an outer diameter of 50 mm. That is, the cross-sectional channels 202 of the seven annular heat exchange tube sheets 22 are connected through the connecting pipe 221.
[0030] The heating device 30 includes a heating water tank 31, a circulating pump 32 and an electric heater 33. The electric heater 33 is arranged at the bottom of the heating water tank 31, and the circulating pump 32 is arranged outside the heating water tank 31. The inlet of the circulating pump 32 is connected to the outlet at the bottom of the heating water tank 31, and the outlet of the circulating pump 32 is connected to the water inlet of the lowest heat exchange tube sheet through the water inlet pipe 5, and the water outlet of the highest heat exchange tube sheet is connected to the inlet of the upper part of the heating water tank 31 through the water outlet pipe 6.
[0031] The heat exchange medium in the heating water tank 31 enters the lowermost heat exchange tube sheet through the water inlet pipe 5 via the circulation pump 32, flows upward through each heat exchange tube sheet in turn, and then returns to the heating water tank 31 through the return pipe 6.
[0032] The heat exchange medium can use an aqueous solution mixed with 30% ethylene glycol to prevent the heat exchange medium from freezing due to low temperatures in winter, and the heat exchange medium has a large specific heat capacity, which is conducive to heat exchange. In this embodiment, the volume of the heat exchange medium can be selected as 200L, the model of the circulation pump 32 can be selected as LY-JLM, and the heating power of the electric heater 33 can be selected as 10000W.
[0033] In order to better control the temperature of the additive inside and outside the tank, a first temperature sensor 41 is provided in the heating water tank 31, and the first temperature sensor 41 is interlocked with the electric heater 33. A second temperature sensor 42 is provided in the tank, and the second temperature sensor 42 is interlocked with the circulation pump 32.

[0036] When the utility model is used:
[0037] When the outdoor temperature is below zero degrees, the electric heater 33 is turned on one day in advance. When the temperature in the heating water tank 31 reaches the first set temperature, the circulation pump 32 starts automatically; the first set temperature depends on the outdoor temperature and is generally not more than 30°C; when the temperature of the additive inside and outside the tank body 10 reaches the second set temperature, the electric heater 33 and the circulation pump 32 stop working; when the temperature of the additive inside and outside the tank body 10 is 5°C lower than the second set temperature, the electric heater 33 and the circulation pump 32 start automatically to ensure that the temperature of the additive is within a controllable range; the second set temperature depends on the storage capacity in the additive tank and can be set to 5°C, generally not exceeding 20°C.
