Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of urea solution storage tanks, and specifically relates to a storage tank for urea solution with a heating coil. Background Art
[0002] Urea solution refers to a solution obtained by dissolving urea in water. Urea is a colorless, odorless crystalline solid that is soluble in water and has a variety of uses, including in the fields of fertilizers, chemical raw materials, medicine, and cosmetics. In industrial production, urea solution is stored in a tank, and the temperature inside the tank is maintained to extend the storage time of the urea solution.
[0003] The crystallization temperature of urea solution is eight degrees Celsius. During the process of ammonia production, it is necessary to ensure that the temperature of the urea solution is between thirty degrees Celsius and forty degrees Celsius. Most of the existing urea solution storage tanks are unable to heat the urea solution, and thus cannot ensure the temperature of the urea solution during the ammonia production process. When the temperature is lower than eight degrees Celsius and urea crystallizes, the urea concentration in the urea solution becomes lower, resulting in a decrease in ammonia production efficiency and being unfavorable for the preservation of the urea solution. After the existing urea storage tanks heat the urea solution, it is easy to cause uneven heating of the urea solution, and it is impossible to ensure that the overall temperature of the urea solution is maintained between thirty degrees Celsius and forty degrees Celsius, affecting the ammonia production efficiency.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Embodiment:
[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the present utility model provides a technical solution:
[0026] A urea solution storage tank with a heating coil, including a tank body 1, the tank body 1 is of a vertical flat-bottomed conical top structure, a heating coil 18 is installed on the inner bottom surface of the tank body 1, one end of the heating coil 18 passes through the back of the tank body 1 and is connected to a steam heating device 29, and the other end passes through the front of the tank body 1 and is connected to the outside. A breather hole 4 is installed on the top of the tank body 1. An outlet pipe 23 is connected to an opening on the bottom side of the tank body 1, and a pipeline tracing structure 22 is wrapped on the surface of the outlet pipe 23. A first discharge valve 20 and a second discharge valve 21 are arranged on the outlet pipe 23. An inlet pipe 9 is connected to an opening on the conical side of the top of the tank body 1, and a feed valve 10 is installed on the inlet pipe 9. A pump-in pipe 15 is connected to an opening on the bottom side of the tank body 1 opposite to the inlet pipe 9, and a pump-in valve 16 is installed on the pump-in pipe 15. The pump-in pipe 15 is connected to a recirculation pump 14, the pump outlet of the recirculation pump 14 is connected to a pump-out pipe 13, and the other end of the pump-out pipe 13 is connected to the inlet pipe 9. A pump-out valve 12 is arranged on the pump-out pipe 13 near the inlet pipe 9. A manhole door 3 is installed on the side of the tank body 1 near the bottom. The manhole door 3 facilitates the entry and exit of personnel and facilitates the maintenance and cleaning of the tank body 1.
[0027] Specifically, the internal volume of the tank body 1 is greater than 335 cubic meters. The tank body 1 is made of 304L stainless steel. Reinforcing ribs 5 are arranged inside the tank body 1 to ensure the structural strength of the tank body 1. A radar level gauge 7 for detecting the liquid level height and a temperature detector 6 for monitoring the liquid temperature are installed on the inner top surface of the tank body 1. The data detected by the radar level gauge 7 and the temperature detector 6 are presented on the display screen 25 through wires.
[0028] Specifically, the pipeline tracing structure 22 includes a housing 30. Heat-insulating cotton 24 is filled between the housing 30 and the feed pipe 9. A tracing cable 8 for heating is inserted into the heat-insulating cotton 24. The pipeline tracing structure 22 is used to keep the urea solution in the pipeline warm and prevent the temperature of the urea solution from dropping during the flow in the pipeline.
[0029] Specifically, the interface of the pump-out pipe 13 and the feed pipe 9 is located inside the feed valve 10 to prevent the pumped urea solution from flowing back along the feed pipe 9.
[0030] Specifically, the heating coil 18 is arranged in a "zigzag" shape on the bottom surface of the entire tank body 1, which can better heat the urea solution. The heating coil 18 is made of 316L stainless steel.
[0031] Specifically, a display screen 25 for displaying the liquid level and temperature, a handle 26, and an opening valve 27 for opening the door are arranged on the manhole door 3. A sealing ring 28 is arranged between the manhole door 3 and the tank body 1. Sealing devices are arranged at the interfaces of all pipes and the tank body 1 to prevent the urea solution from leaking. The manhole door 3 is made of 304L stainless steel. When there is no urea liquid in the tank body 1 that needs to be cleaned and repaired, the manhole door 3 can be opened by rotating the opening valve 27, and maintenance personnel can enter the inside of the tank body 1.
[0032] Specifically, the top of the tank body 1 is covered with a sunshade 2 to prevent the temperature of the tank body 1 from rising due to exposure to the sun. At the same time, it has a certain waterproof effect and can extend the service life of the tank body. The tank body 1 is placed on a base 17 made of concrete, and the material of any accessory of the tank body 1 is not lower than 304L.
[0033] When feeding, close the pump-out valve 12, the first discharge valve 20 and the second discharge valve 21, open the feed valve 10, and the urea solution flows into the interior of the tank from the feed port 11. Observe the liquid level of the urea solution in the tank 1 through the display screen 25. When the liquid level requirement is reached, close the feed valve 10; observe the temperature of the urea solution through the display screen 25. When the temperature is lower than 30 degrees Celsius, the steam heating device 29 operates, and the high-temperature steam passes through the heating coil 18, thereby heating the temperature of the urea solution. At the same time, the recirculation pump 14 operates, open the pump-in valve 16, close the feed valve 10, and pump the bottom urea solution to the top through the pump body, so as to perform internal circulation on the internal urea solution and keep the temperature of the urea solution balanced; when it is necessary to release the urea solution, open the first discharge valve 20 and the second discharge valve 21, and the urea solution will flow out from the discharge port 23 and be transferred along the discharge pipe 19. The setting of the first discharge valve 20 and the second discharge valve 21 ensures the safety of the tank 1 during the safety valve calibration or maintenance period.
[0034] For the rest of the present utility model that is not described, it can be the same as the prior art, or be well-known technology, or can be implemented by using the prior art, and will not be elaborated here.
