Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of circulating drying devices, and in particular to a novel drying circulating system. Background Art

[0002] Drying is a very important part of chemical production. The purpose of drying is to make materials easier to store, transport and use, or to meet the needs of further processing.

[0003] In the process of liquid drying, desiccants are usually used to circulate and dry the liquid. The principle of cyclic drying is based on the affinity of desiccants for water. These materials have a large specific surface area and can absorb and store a large amount of water.

[0004] In the cycle drying, the desiccant will become inactivated after being used for a period of time and needs to be replaced. However, due to the special properties of the material to be dried, such as its unique volatility, toxicity, and inability to come into contact with water or air, and some material remaining on the desiccant, the material cannot be recycled. Directly replacing the desiccant will cause a large amount of material loss. Utility Model Content

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the material to be dried is put into the storage tank, and the drying circulation pump pumps the material into the drying unit to fully contact the desiccant for circulating drying. After the drying is completed, the material is taken out. When the material drying fails to meet the standard for a long time, the desiccant in the drying unit needs to be replaced. At this time, the pipeline between the drying circulation pump and the drying unit is closed, and the pipeline between the drying unit and the condenser reflux device is opened. The steam heating system heats the drying unit, and the residual material on the desiccant is distilled, condensed by the condenser reflux device, and collected in the receiving tank. When the material recovery is completed, the drying unit is disassembled and the desiccant is replaced. When the desiccant is replaced, the material has been recovered, thereby reducing the loss of the material.

[0009] Optionally, the drying unit includes a dryer, in which a heating layer and a drying layer are provided, the drying layer is provided inside the dryer, the heating layer is provided inside the dryer and is located outside the drying layer, the desiccant is placed at the drying layer of the dryer, and the steam heating system is provided at the heating layer of the dryer.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the material enters the inner side of the drying layer in the dryer and is dried after fully contacting with the desiccant in the drying layer. When the material on the desiccant is collected, the steam heating system of the heating layer heats the material and distills the material attached to the desiccant.

[0011] Optionally, the dryer is provided with a normal temperature water circulation system at the heating layer.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the normal temperature water circulation system cools down the drying layer, making it easy to disassemble the dryer and replace the desiccant.

[0013] Optionally, a circulating drying sight glass is provided on the dryer, and the circulating drying sight glass is connected to the storage tank.

[0015] Optionally, the dryer is provided with a heat-insulating layer at the outermost layer.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the thermal insulation layer insulates the heating layer and reduces heat loss.

[0017] Optionally, a refrigeration circulating water system is provided in the condenser reflux device.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the material is distilled after being heated, the refrigerated circulating water system cools the material, and the condensed material is collected in a receiving tank.

[0019] Optionally, a receiving tank flow sight glass is provided on the receiving tank, and the receiving tank flow sight glass is connected to the condensing reflux device.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the material reflux collection situation is monitored through the flow sight glass of the receiving tank. When no liquid flows down, it is considered that there is no material remaining in the dryer.

[0021] Optionally, both ends of the dryer are connected to the pipeline via connecting flanges.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting flange connects the dryer to the pipeline, and the connection seal between the dryer and the pipeline is better, which is convenient for disassembly.

[0023] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. The material to be dried is put into the storage tank, and the drying circulation pump pumps the material into the drying unit for circulation drying. When the material drying fails to meet the standard for a long time, the desiccant in the drying unit needs to be replaced. The bottom pipeline of the drying unit is closed, and the pipeline between the drying unit and the condenser reflux device is opened. The steam heating system distills the residual material in the drying unit, and the residual material is condensed by the condenser reflux device and collected in the receiving tank. When the material is recovered, the drying unit is disassembled and the desiccant is replaced. When the desiccant is replaced, the material has been recovered, which reduces the loss of the material. At the same time, for products with high moisture requirements, the risk of contaminating the pipeline is reduced, and the environmental pollution caused by the discharge of liquid in the desiccant is also prevented;

[0025] 2. The insulation layer insulates the heating layer to reduce heat loss;

[0026] 3. The dryer and the pipeline are connected by a connecting flange, which has good sealing and is easy to disassemble. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The dryer 3 is located in the drying layer 309 and a solid desiccant is placed. During drying, the material to be dried is put into the storage tank 1, the valve of the pipeline between the dryer 3 and the condenser reflux device 5 is closed, and the valve of the pipeline between the drying circulation pump 2 and the storage tank 1 is opened. The drying circulation pump 2 pumps the material into the drying layer 309 of the dryer 3 through the pipeline to fully contact the desiccant and then circulate and dry it.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 A three-way pipe is provided at the upper end of the dryer 3, and a circulating drying sight glass 4 is provided on the storage tank 1. The three-way pipe is connected to the condensing reflux device 5 and the circulating drying sight glass 4 respectively, and the drying condition of the material is monitored through the circulating drying sight glass 4. After drying for a period of time, samples are taken from the valve under the drying circulation pump 2 for moisture analysis. If the moisture content is qualified, it can be taken out of the tank and the drying operation is repeated.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the material drying fails to meet the standard for a long time, the desiccant is deactivated and needs to be replaced. Close the valve between the storage tank 1 and the drying circulation pump 2, open the valve under the drying circulation pump 2 to collect the materials remaining in the pipeline and the dryer 3, and complete the partial material recovery.
