Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pneumatic conveying of powder and granular materials, in particular to a pneumatic conveying system suitable for materials with steam. Background Technique

[0002] Pneumatic conveying, also known as pneumatic transportation, uses the energy of air flow to transport granular materials along the air flow direction in a closed pipeline, which is a specific application of fluidization technology. The structure of the pneumatic conveying device is simple and easy to operate. It can be used for horizontal, vertical or inclined conveying. During the conveying process, physical operations such as heating, cooling, drying and air classification of materials or certain chemical operations can be carried out simultaneously.

[0003] In the pneumatic conveying system, we often use a Roots vacuum pump as the power source. The structure of this pump is relatively simple and consists of two rotating impellers. One impeller is fixed and the other is rotating. When the rotating impeller rotates, it sucks in gas from the inlet and pushes the gas into the exhaust port. The advantages of this pump are simple operation, high efficiency, low noise, convenient maintenance, etc. However, when the materials to be conveyed are some with steam or a small amount of liquid, these steam or a small amount of liquid will cause thermal erosion or corrosion to the pump body, greatly shortening the service life of the Roots vacuum pump. Therefore, we choose to use a water ring vacuum pump to replace it. The advantages of this pump are that it can extract some gases with water vapor or other liquids and can work continuously for a long time, etc. The adjustable acceleration chamber is a technical improvement made for the matching system when using a water ring vacuum pump group as the power source to ensure the smooth operation of the system. Therefore, in view of the above problems, a pneumatic conveying system suitable for materials with steam is proposed. Content of the Utility Model

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1-2 As shown, a pneumatic conveying system applicable to steam-carrying materials includes a feed rotary valve 1, an adjustable acceleration chamber 2, a material-gas separator 3, a discharge rotary valve 4, and a water-ring vacuum pump group 5. It is characterized in that: A pneumatic conveying system is formed by connecting the adjustable acceleration chamber 2, the material-gas separator 3, and the water-ring vacuum pump group 5 in series through a conveying pipeline 6 and a vacuum pipeline 7.

The gas outlet at the top of the material-gas separator 3 is connected to the water-ring vacuum pump group 5 through a vacuum pipeline 7. The material-gas separator 3 can separate the conveyed materials from the gas. The materials enter the subsequent process through the discharge rotary valve 4, and the gas enters the water-ring vacuum pump group 5 through the vacuum pipeline 7.

The material-gas separator 3 can separate the conveyed materials from the gas. The materials enter the subsequent process through the discharge rotary valve 4, and the gas enters the water-ring vacuum pump group 5 through the vacuum pipeline 7. After the steam carried by the materials enters the water-ring vacuum pump group 5 together with the conveying gas, it dissolves in the water flow and is finally discharged into the atmosphere, without causing damage or corrosion to the pump body during the process. The adjustable orifice plate at the intake end of the adjustable acceleration chamber 2 can modify the position of the intake hole in the pipeline. Different positions of the orifice plate are matched according to the production capacity requirements of the system.
