Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of spray drying, and particularly relates to a spray drying waste heat recovery and utilization system. Background Art
[0002] Spray drying is a drying technology widely used in industrial production. Its working principle is to disperse a solution, emulsion or suspension into fine droplets through a sprayer, and then spray these droplets into hot air. In the hot air, the droplets quickly evaporate water to form dry particles.
[0003] In the prior art, when producing lithium iron phosphate electrode materials, it is necessary to use an atomizer to spray the solution into fine droplets and disperse them in a hot drying medium (hot air flow). The atomizer decomposes the raw material solution into droplets and sprays them into a hot air flow at a temperature of 120 - 300°C. By using the velocity difference between the droplets and the hot air flow during the movement of the droplets, the material can be quickly dried within a few seconds to more than ten seconds. Since a large amount of hot air flow is required when the droplets are dried, if the heat in the hot air flow and the heat of the boiler equipment in the production workshop are not recovered and utilized, a large amount of heat will be wasted. The energy consumption during droplet drying is relatively large, which will increase the production cost of lithium iron phosphate electrode materials. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the above technical deficiencies, and provide a spray drying waste heat recovery and utilization system to solve the problems of large energy consumption and low waste heat recovery and utilization efficiency during spray drying in the prior art.

At the same time, under the action of the induced draft fan 32, the hot air flow in the drying tower 1 is pumped into the waste heat heat exchanger 33 for primary heat exchange with the fresh air flow. Subsequently, the fresh air flow undergoes secondary heat exchange in the steam heat exchanger 34, and finally, after being heated to a predetermined temperature by the burner 36, it is transported into the drying tower 1.
