Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kilns, and in particular to a kiln cooling system. Background Art

[0002] In the field of battery powder manufacturing, the kiln is an important production equipment. After the material is sintered at high temperature in the kiln, a cooling zone needs to be set up at the tail of the kiln to cool the material and sagger to avoid damage to personnel and equipment.

[0003] Among traditional cooling technologies, water cooling is a relatively efficient cooling method. Conventional water cooling is to directly connect chilled water to the cooling zone pipe for heat exchange and cooling. Chilled water is produced by the chiller through refrigeration, and its temperature is 7℃-10℃. However, such low-temperature chilled water is not required to cool the kiln, so there is a waste of energy. In addition, too low chilled water temperature will also cause condensation in the kiln. If condensation drips into the material, it will cause quality accidents. In addition, the valves supporting chilled water are often manual ball valves. When the temperature in the kiln is too low, it cannot be accurately regulated, and the adjustment time is relatively long. Utility Model Content

[0033] The utility model is provided with a cooling water inlet and a chilled water inlet in the first water storage tank 1, and uses cooling water to cool the kiln cooling pipe 2.

The control unit 5 pre-sets the temperature to 20°C-25°C. When the temperature sensor 7 detects that the temperature is not within the set temperature range, the control unit 5 adjusts by controlling the chilled water in the first water storage tank 1 to achieve automatic temperature adjustment, reduce the work of on-site personnel, and avoid the problem of long adjustment time; a cooling tower 4 is used to cool the water after heat exchange, and heat is dissipated through the flow and evaporation of water, which greatly reduces the loss of power consumption. In the prior art, a chiller is used, and a compressor is required for cooling. The compressor has a large power of about 263kW;

[0034] The delivery component includes a chilled water delivery pipe, one end of which is connected to the chilled water inlet, and the other end of which is connected to the chiller 6.

The function of the spare pipe 15 is to directly transport water to the kiln cooling pipe 2 through the spare pipe 15 for cooling when the first water pump 9 is damaged for maintenance, so as to ensure the normal operation of the system.

[0048] The cooling water enters the first water tank 1 for buffering, the first water pump 9 pumps the cooling water in the first water tank 1 into the kiln cooling pipe 2 for heat exchange, the water after heat exchange enters the second water tank 3, the second water pump 10 pumps the water to the cooling tower 4 for cooling, and it is recycled after cooling; the temperature preset by the control unit 5 is 20℃-25℃, if the water temperature of the second water tank 3 exceeds the set value, the temperature sensor 7 transmits the data to the control unit 5, the control unit 5 analyzes and processes, opens the first valve 8 to use chilled water for temperature adjustment, and after the temperature drops to the set value, the valve is closed through feedback from the temperature sensor 7; the second water pump 10 pumps the water in the second water tank 3 into the cooling tower 4 for cooling, and obtains cooling water after cooling, a part of which is stored in the first water tank 1, and the rest enters the chiller 6 for heat exchange, and the cooling water after heat exchange flows back to the cooling tower 4 for cooling.
