Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of environmental protection equipment and relates to a gas sealing device for an RTO switching valve with ultra-low concentration emissions. Background Technique

[0002] With the strengthening of domestic environmental protection policies and the drive of the dual-carbon goal, in recent years, many newly built factories have the task of controlling the total carbon emission index. In the flexible packaging printing industry, many customers require that the emission index of waste gas purification equipment be higher and higher. In view of this, the development of low-emission waste gas purification equipment has become a new market demand in the future. At present, the non-methane total hydrocarbon (NMHC) emissions of RTO (Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer) regenerative combustion devices on the market are generally around 30 mg / m 3 , which can no longer meet the emission values required by customers in some regions. The purpose of this device is to optimize and improve the design of the emissions of existing RTOs from a mechanical aspect in order to meet the current market demand.

[0003] The leakage rate and treatment efficiency of the RTO directly affect the RTO emissions. Therefore, reducing the leakage of the RTO is crucial. The leakage of the RTO mainly occurs at the valve plate sealing joint surface of the switching valve of the RTO. At present, the main valve plate sealing methods of RTO products on the market include metal hard sealing, single graphite packing soft sealing, double hard sealing + compressed air gas sealing, etc. Their sealing does not meet the requirement of zero leakage, and there will still be a small amount of VOCs gas leaking into the exhaust pipe during equipment operation or valve plate switching, thus increasing the emissions. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a gas sealing device for an RTO switching valve with ultra-low concentration emissions, which solves the problem of leakage existing in the valve plate joint surface of the existing RTO switching valve.

[0019] The present utility model will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation modes.

[0020] Embodiment 1

[0021] This embodiment provides an ultra-low concentration emission RTO switching valve gas seal device. The RTO regenerative thermal oxidizer (Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer, abbreviated as RTO) is an energy-saving environmental protection device for treating medium and low concentration volatile organic waste gases (VOCs). The RTO regenerative thermal oxidizer includes a blower, three combustion chambers (combustion chamber A, combustion chamber B, combustion chamber C), three switching valves 1 (switching valve A, switching valve B, switching valve C), an intake pipe, an exhaust pipe, and a chimney. The switching valves 1 correspond to the combustion chambers one by one. The switching valves 1 (lift valves) are located below the corresponding combustion chambers. Each switching valve 1 is provided with two chambers, which are located on the intake side and the exhaust side respectively. Each chamber is surrounded by a wall plate 23 and a valve plate 19. The VOCs waste gas is sent into the switching valve 1 through the intake pipe, and the waste gas is sent into different chambers of the combustion chamber for treatment by switching the intake side switching valve. The treated waste gas is sent into the chimney and discharged into the atmosphere through the exhaust side switching valve. Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, if the VOCs gas on the intake side leaks into the exhaust valve space through the switching valve, the VOCs gas will be discharged into the atmosphere along with the treated waste gas, causing pollution and thus reducing the actual treatment efficiency of the RTO.

[0022] The gas seal device includes an internal air extraction pipe 17 arranged inside the switching valve 1. The internal air extraction pipe 17 is connected with a gas seal pipeline located outside the switching valve, as Figure 2As shown in the figure, a graphite packing fixing bottom ring 21 and an annular air groove 22 are respectively fixed on the upper and lower surfaces of the plate surface at the joint of the top of the wall panel 23 and the valve plate 19. An annular graphite packing 20 is concentrically arranged on the graphite packing fixing bottom ring 21. The upper surface of the graphite packing 20 is higher than the upper surface of the graphite packing fixing bottom ring 21. The inner valve air extraction pipe 17 is communicated with the annular air groove 22. The valve plate 19 is connected with a pneumatic structure. The pneumatic structure includes a connecting shaft 18. The connecting shaft is connected with a pneumatic actuator. The pneumatic structure drives the valve plate 19 to move up and down to open or close the switching valve 1. Closing the switching valve 1 means that the valve plate 19 presses onto the graphite packing 20.

[0023] Embodiment 2

[0024] This embodiment provides an airtight device for an RTO switching valve with ultra-low concentration emissions. On the basis of Embodiment 1, as Figure 3 shown, two graphite packing installation grooves are provided in the upper part of the graphite packing fixing bottom ring 21. The bottom of the graphite packing fixing bottom ring 21 is welded and fixed to the wall panel 23. Each graphite packing installation groove is provided with a graphite packing 20. 20 - 30 through holes with a diameter of about Φ20 are provided between the two graphite packing installation grooves. The through holes penetrate through the thickness of the graphite packing fixing bottom ring 21 and the wall panel 23 and are communicated with the annular air groove 22.

[0025] The top of the annular air groove 22 is welded and fixed to the wall panel 23. 4 air extraction holes with a diameter of Φ30 - Φ40 are provided at the bottom of the annular air groove 22. The inner valve air extraction pipe 17 is welded at the air extraction holes. The annular air groove 22 is communicated with the inner valve air extraction pipe 17 through the air extraction holes.

[0026] Embodiment 3

[0027] This embodiment provides an airtight device for an RTO switching valve with ultra-low concentration emissions. On the basis of Embodiments 1 - 2, the airtight pipeline includes an airtight air extraction fan 5 for the airtight air path. The air inlet and air outlet of the airtight air extraction fan 5 are respectively connected with a sealed fan outlet pipe 3 and a sealed fan inlet pipe 8. One end of the sealed fan outlet pipe 3 is connected with the air inlet of the airtight air extraction fan 5, and the other end is connected with the air inlet of the RTO centrifugal fan 2. The air outlet of the RTO centrifugal fan 2 is connected with the intake pipeline. A manual butterfly valve 4 is provided on the sealed fan outlet pipe 3. The manual butterfly valve 4 can adjust the air extraction air volume and air pressure in the main pipe. The sealed fan inlet pipe 8 is connected with an air extraction branch pipe, and the air extraction branch pipe is connected with the inner valve air extraction pipe 17.

[0028] The extraction branch pipe includes an intake-side extraction branch pipe and an exhaust-side extraction branch pipe. The extraction branch pipe of switching valve A includes a switching valve A intake-side extraction branch pipe 6 and a switching valve A exhaust-side extraction branch pipe 7. The extraction branch pipe of switching valve B includes a switching valve B intake-side extraction branch pipe 9 and a switching valve B exhaust-side extraction branch pipe 10. The extraction branch pipe of switching valve C includes a switching valve C intake-side extraction branch pipe 11 and a switching valve C exhaust-side extraction branch pipe 12. The intake-side extraction branch pipe is connected to the in-valve extraction air pipe 17 of the intake-side chamber of the combustion chamber, and the exhaust-side extraction branch pipe is connected to the in-valve extraction air pipe 17 of the exhaust-side chamber of the combustion chamber.

[0029] A manual ball valve 13, an electric valve 15 for the extraction branch pipe, and a positive and negative pressure gauge 16 are provided on each extraction branch pipe. The manual ball valve 13 is used to adjust the extraction pressure and extraction air volume of each branch. The opening and closing of the electric valve 15 for the extraction branch pipe can control whether the lifting valve inside it performs extraction. The positive and negative pressure gauge 16 can view the negative pressure value inside the pipe during extraction, and the extraction situation can be judged according to the magnitude of the value.

[0030] The extraction fan 5 for the seal air path is turned on when the equipment is started and turned off when the equipment is shut down. The electric valve 15 for the extraction branch pipe is linked with the pneumatic actuator of the corresponding lifting valve. When the lifting valve is closed, the electric valve 15 for the extraction branch pipe is opened, and when the lifting valve is opened, the electric valve 15 for the extraction branch pipe is closed.

[0031] The working process of the airtight device for the RTO switching valve with ultra-low concentration emissions of the present utility model is specifically as follows:

[0032] When the RTO is operating, the VOCs waste gas will pass through one side of the lifting valve 1, and the other side is the purified gas after treatment. When there is leakage at the sealing joint surface of the valve plate 19 and the graphite packing 20, the VOCs gas will first pass through the inner (or outer) graphite packing 20. When the gas enters the space between the two graphite packings, due to the extraction of the extraction fan 5 for the seal air path, the space between the two graphite packings is in a negative pressure state, so the leaked VOCs gas will be drawn into the seal fan and then sent to the inlet position of the RTO centrifugal fan 2. The waste gas will be sent into the RTO by the RTO centrifugal fan 2 again for purification treatment.
