Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of a mechanical seal cooling system for a polyester device, and more specifically, it relates to a mechanical seal flushing and cooling device. Background Art

[0002] In existing polyester production devices, the stirring shaft of the final polymerization kettle mostly adopts a double-end face mechanical seal device. The mechanical seal includes a seal housing and a seal assembly placed inside the seal housing. A heat exchange cavity is formed between the seal assembly and the seal housing. When the mechanical seal operates, the heat exchange cavity must be filled with a flushing and cooling fluid (ethylene glycol) introduced from the outside and compatible with the sealed medium. However, after the mechanical seal operates for a long time, due to the wear of the seal end face and the reduction of the elastic force of the spring, liquid leakage will occur at the seal end face of the mechanical seal. And the existing mechanical seal cooling system is not sensitive to the leakage of the mechanical seal, resulting in system failures or damages. In the prior art, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 220418771 U, publication date January 30, 2024, the name of the utility model is a mechanical seal flow difference detection leakage system. The system described in this application installs a pressure gauge and a flow meter in the liquid inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe respectively, and determines whether liquid leakage occurs by comparing the coolant pressure and flow data in the liquid inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe, and can realize real-time detection of whether the mechanical seal leaks.

[0003] However, the flow direction of the coolant in the system described in this application is fixed. The system avoids foreign objects from entering the mechanical seal cavity by setting a Y-type filter, but the Y-type filter cannot completely discharge foreign objects. Once foreign objects enter the mechanical seal cavity, shutdown for maintenance is required, which will affect the work process. In addition, the pressure value of the coolant in the cooling pipe cannot be adjusted and cannot be adjusted according to the specific situation of the mechanical seal, which will affect the service life of the mechanical seal after a long time. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The utility model overcomes the deficiencies in the prior art that foreign objects entering the mechanical seal cavity must be shut down for maintenance and the coolant pressure value in the cooling pipe cannot be adjusted, and provides a mechanical seal flushing and cooling device. It can discharge foreign objects by switching the forward and reverse flow directions of the coolant in the cooling flow channel without shutdown for maintenance, improving the working efficiency of the mechanical seal. In addition, it can also adjust the pressure value of the coolant in the cooling flow channel, improving the service life of the mechanical seal.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: A mechanical seal flushing and cooling device includes a return liquid header and a feed liquid header. Both the return liquid header and the feed liquid header are provided with two pipe orifices, and a plurality of pipe orifices are externally connected with valves; the two pipe orifices on the return liquid header and the feed liquid header are respectively connected to the coolant inlet and the coolant outlet of the mechanical seal.

[0006] In the utility model, a liquid return manifold and a liquid inlet manifold are arranged in parallel above the mechanical seal at the coolant inlet. Both the liquid return manifold and the liquid inlet manifold are provided with two pipe orifices. The two pipe orifices on the liquid return manifold and the liquid inlet manifold are respectively connected to the coolant inlet and the coolant outlet of the mechanical seal. At the same time, several pipe orifices are externally connected with valves. By switching different valves, the connection modes of the two pipe orifices on the liquid return manifold and the liquid inlet manifold with the coolant inlet and outlet of the mechanical seal can be changed, so as to realize the positive and reverse switching of the coolant flow direction in the cooling flow channel. Once foreign matters enter the mechanical seal cavity or appear in the cooling system and cause blockage, the mechanical seal can be flushed by changing the coolant flow direction to flush out the foreign matters, so as to resume the normal working process.

[0007] Preferably, a pressure gauge and a pressure balance pipe orifice are further arranged on the liquid inlet manifold.

[0008] The pressure gauge can detect the pressure value of the coolant in the liquid inlet manifold in real time, and the pressure of the coolant can be changed through the pressure balance pipe orifice to meet different requirements in different situations of the mechanical seal.

[0009] Preferably, a liquid outlet pipe orifice is further arranged on the liquid return manifold, and a liquid return flowmeter is connected in series to the liquid outlet pipe orifice.

[0010] The liquid outlet pipe orifice is the outlet for the coolant to flow out of the liquid return manifold, and the liquid return flowmeter is used to measure the flow value when the coolant flows out after cooling the mechanical seal.

[0011] Preferably, a liquid inlet pipe orifice is further arranged on the liquid inlet manifold, and a liquid inlet flowmeter is connected in series to the liquid inlet pipe orifice.

[0012] The liquid inlet pipe orifice is the inlet for the coolant to flow into the liquid inlet manifold, and the liquid inlet flowmeter is used to measure the flow value before the coolant cools the mechanical seal, and whether there is leakage in the mechanical seal can be judged through the difference from the liquid return flowmeter.

[0013] Preferably, the distance between the liquid return manifold and the top of the mechanical seal is not less than 600 mm.

[0014] The liquid return manifold is arranged above the mechanical seal and not lower than 600 mm, which can make the cooling effect of the coolant better and obtain buffering when the coolant flow direction is switched.

[0015] Preferably, the liquid return flowmeter is connected to the liquid return main pipe through a process pipeline. The coolant can finally flow out of the system through the liquid return main pipe to complete the cooling work.

[0016] Preferably, the liquid inlet flowmeter is connected to the liquid inlet main pipe through a process pipeline. The coolant is initially provided by the liquid inlet main pipe and then enters the liquid inlet manifold.

[0017] Preferably, the pressure balance pipe orifice is connected to the balance main pipe after being serially connected with a cut-off valve. The balance main pipe can supply coolant to the liquid inlet header through the pressure balance pipe orifice to achieve the purpose of changing the coolant pressure value and flow rate in the cooling system.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0019] (1) The forward and reverse switching of the coolant flow direction in the cooling flow path is realized. When foreign matters enter the mechanical seal cavity, the foreign matters can be directly flushed out to resume normal operation without shutdown for maintenance, improving work efficiency.

[0020] (2) The setting of the pressure balance pipe orifice can change the flow rate and pressure of the coolant entering the mechanical seal cavity, maintain a lower coolant pressure inside the mechanical seal, which is beneficial to reducing the leakage of the mechanical seal and prolonging the service life of the mechanical seal.

[0021] (3) The settings of the liquid inlet main pipe, liquid return main pipe and balance main pipe can cool multiple mechanical seals in parallel.

[0022] (4) The settings of the liquid inlet flowmeter and liquid return flowmeter can judge whether there is leakage in the mechanical seal. Description of the Drawings

Detailed Embodiments

[0026] The following further specifically describes the technical solutions of the present utility model through specific embodiments in conjunction with the drawings:

[0027] Example 1: In the existing polyester production equipment, double-ended mechanical seal devices are mostly used for the stirring shafts of the final polymerization kettles. The mechanical seal includes a seal housing and a seal assembly placed inside the seal housing. A heat exchange chamber is formed between the seal assembly and the seal housing. When the mechanical seal operates, the heat exchange chamber must be filled with a flushing and cooling fluid (ethylene glycol) introduced from the outside and compatible with the medium to be sealed. Therefore, the mechanical seal housing is provided with a cooling fluid inlet and a cooling fluid outlet communicating with the heat exchange chamber. For the mechanical seal of horizontal pumps, the coolant inlet is located at the bottom of the mechanical seal, and the coolant outlet is located at the top of the mechanical seal.

[0028] The function of the flushing and cooling fluid (ethylene glycol) is to cool the seal end faces to improve the operating conditions between the seal end faces. Generally, it is required that the pressure of the flushing and cooling liquid is 0.1 - 0.2 MPa higher than the pressure in the seal chamber. After the mechanical seal operates for a long time, due to the wear of the seal end faces and the reduction of the elastic force of the springs, liquid leakage will occur at the seal end faces of the mechanical seal. Moreover, the greater the pressure of the cooling ethylene glycol (EG), the greater the leakage amount at the seal end faces. When the leakage at the seal end faces is serious, it will cause the equipment to stop running.

[0029] The existing mechanical seal cooling systems mainly have the following deficiencies: the pressure of the cooling ethylene glycol is fixed and cannot be adjusted separately for a single mechanical seal; if foreign objects enter the seal chamber of the mechanical seal, the equipment can only be stopped for inspection; and when the equipment is stopped for inspection, a large amount of crude EG will be generated for flushing and cooling the mechanical seal of the final polymerization kettle.

[0030] In order to overcome the above deficiencies, the present utility model provides a mechanical seal flushing and cooling device, which can discharge foreign objects by switching the forward and reverse flow directions of the coolant in the cooling flow channel, without the need for shutdown and maintenance, improving the working efficiency of the mechanical seal. In addition, it can also adjust the pressure value of the coolant in the cooling flow channel, improving the service life of the mechanical seal.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown, the present utility model includes a mechanical seal 1-1. The mechanical seal 1-1 seals the stirring shaft of the horizontal final polymerization kettle, preventing external air from leaking into the final polymerization kettle (the inside of the final polymerization kettle is under negative pressure). The mechanical seal 1-1 requires external supply of coolant to flush and cool the friction pair. A coolant inlet is provided at the bottom of the mechanical seal 1-1, and a coolant outlet is provided at the top of the mechanical seal 1-1. Under normal circumstances, the coolant flows in from the bottom and out from the top. The feature is that the seal chamber of the mechanical seal 1-1 is always filled with coolant to prevent dry friction of the friction pair of the mechanical seal 1-1.

[0032] As Figure 1 and Figure 2, a liquid return header 1-6 is provided at a position not less than 600 mm above the top of the mechanical seal 1-1. The liquid return header 1-6 is provided with a liquid outlet pipe orifice 1-63 and two liquid return pipe orifices. A fifth isolation valve G1-61 is connected in series behind the right liquid return pipe orifice 1-61 on the liquid return header 1-6. The fifth isolation valve G1-61 is connected to the coolant inlet at the bottom of the mechanical seal 1-1 through a process pipeline. After a sixth isolation valve G1-62 is connected in series behind the left liquid return pipe orifice 1-62, the sixth isolation valve G1-62 is connected to the coolant outlet at the top of the mechanical seal 1-1 through a process pipeline. This is the specific structure for realizing the forward and reverse switching of the coolant flow direction in the cooling flow channel. By changing the opening and closing states of different isolation valves, the coolant can flow out of the sealing cavity of the mechanical seal 1-1 from the coolant inlet or the coolant outlet.

[0033] An inlet liquid header 1-5 parallel to the liquid return header 1-6 is provided at the upper part of the liquid return header 1-6. The inlet liquid header 1-5 is provided with an inlet liquid pipe orifice 1-53 and two liquid inlet pipe orifices. A second isolation valve G1-52 is connected in series behind the right liquid inlet pipe orifice 1-52 on the inlet liquid header 1-5. The second isolation valve G1-52 is connected to the coolant inlet at the bottom of the mechanical seal 1-1 through a process pipeline. After a first isolation valve G1-51 is connected in series behind the left liquid inlet pipe orifice 1-51, the first isolation valve G1-51 is connected to the coolant outlet at the top of the mechanical seal 1-1 through a process pipeline. By changing the opening and closing states of different isolation valves, the coolant can enter the sealing cavity of the mechanical seal 1-1 from the coolant inlet or the coolant outlet, realizing the parallel relationship between the inlet liquid header 1-5 and the liquid return header 1-6, and further cooperating with the liquid return header 1-6 to realize the forward and reverse switching of the coolant flow direction in the cooling flow channel.

[0034] In this embodiment, the coolant used is cooling ethylene glycol EG.

[0035] Specifically, under normal circumstances, the second isolation valve G1-52 between the inlet liquid header 1-5 and the bottom cooling EG inlet of the mechanical seal 1-1 is opened, the first isolation valve G1-51 between the inlet liquid header 1-5 and the top cooling EG outlet of the mechanical seal 1-1 is closed, the sixth isolation valve G1-62 between the liquid return header 1-6 and the top cooling EG outlet of the mechanical seal 1-1 is opened, and the fifth isolation valve G1-61 between the liquid return header 1-6 and the bottom cooling EG inlet of the mechanical seal 1-1 is closed. The cooling EG flows from bottom to top, always keeping the sealing cavity of the mechanical seal 1-1 filled with cooling EG to prevent dry friction of the friction pair of the mechanical seal 1-1.

[0036] Embodiment 2: The liquid inlet pipe orifice 1-53 on the liquid inlet manifold 1-5 is the inlet for the coolant to flow into the liquid inlet manifold 1-5. A liquid inlet flowmeter 1-7 is connected in series through a shut-off valve three G1-53 in front of the liquid inlet pipe orifice 1-53; the liquid outlet pipe orifice 1-63 on the liquid return manifold 1-6 is the outlet for the coolant to flow out of the liquid return manifold 1-6. A liquid return flowmeter 1-8 is connected in series through a shut-off valve seven G1-63 behind the liquid outlet pipe orifice 1-63. The liquid return flowmeter 1-8 and the liquid inlet flowmeter 1-7 are not affected by the cooling EG flow direction in the sealing cavity of the mechanical seal 1-1. Whether there is leakage in the mechanical seal 1-1 can be judged by the difference between the liquid inlet flowmeter 1-7 and the liquid return flowmeter 1-8, thereby avoiding faults or damages in the cooling system of the mechanical seal 1-1, and further ensuring the normal operation of the mechanical seal 1-1.

[0037] Embodiment 3: In this embodiment, a pressure gauge and a pressure balance pipe orifice 1-54 are provided on the liquid inlet manifold 1-5. The pressure gauge can detect the pressure value of the coolant in the liquid inlet manifold 1-5 in real time, and the pressure of the coolant is changed through the pressure balance pipe orifice 1-54 to meet different requirements in different situations of the mechanical seal 1-1.

[0038] A liquid inlet main pipe 1-2 is also provided in the present utility model. The liquid inlet main pipe 1-2 is connected to the liquid inlet flowmeter 1-7 connected in series in front of the liquid inlet pipe orifice 1-53 through a process pipeline. The coolant comes from the liquid inlet main pipe 1-2 and then enters the liquid inlet manifold 1-5; a liquid return main pipe 1-3 is also provided. The liquid return main pipe 1-3 is connected to the liquid return flowmeter 1-8 connected in series behind the liquid outlet pipe orifice 1-63 through a process pipeline. The coolant can finally flow out of the system through the liquid return main pipe 1-3 to complete the cooling work.

[0039] A balance main pipe 1-4 is also provided. The pressure balance pipe orifice 1-54 is connected to the balance main pipe 1-4 after being connected in series with a shut-off valve four G1-54. The balance main pipe 1-4 can provide coolant into the liquid inlet manifold 1-5 through the pressure balance pipe orifice 1-54 to achieve the purpose of changing the pressure value and flow rate of the coolant in the cooling system. Specifically, by adjusting the opening degree of the shut-off valve four G1-54 of the pressure balance pipe of the liquid inlet manifold 1-5, the flow rate and pressure of the coolant entering the mechanical seal 1-1 can be adjusted, and a lower coolant pressure inside the mechanical seal 1-1 can be maintained, which is beneficial to reducing the leakage amount of the mechanical seal 1-1 and extending the service life of the mechanical seal 1-1.

[0040] In addition, the arrangement of the main inlet pipe 1-2, the main return pipe 1-3, and the main balance pipe 1-4 allows multiple mechanical seals 1-1 to be connected in parallel simultaneously for cooling and flushing operations. For the different requirements of multiple parallel mechanical seals 1-1 for the coolant pressure, the pressure gauge and the pressure balance pipe orifice 1-54, in conjunction with the shut-off valve four G1-54 connected to the pressure balance pipe orifice 1-54, can be used to adjust the pressure of the coolant entering the cooling system to ensure that the multiple parallel mechanical seals 1-1 can operate normally simultaneously, thus greatly improving work efficiency and saving costs at the same time.

[0041] The following provides a detailed introduction to the flow path and operation method of the coolant within the system provided by the present utility model:

[0042] First, clean cooling EG enters the main inlet pipe 1-2. The main inlet pipe 1-2 distributes the cooling EG to the inlet header 1-5 in front of one or more mechanical seals 1-1 that require flushing and cooling. After passing through the inlet flowmeter 1-7, the cooling EG enters the inlet header 1-5 through the inlet pipe orifice 1-53. At the same time, the clean cooling EG in the main balance pipe 1-4 will also deliver the cooling EG to the inlet header 1-5 through the pressure balance pipe orifice 1-54 according to the cooling EG pressure and flow rate required by different mechanical seals 1-1. The flow rate value of the cooling EG can be obtained from the inlet flowmeter 1-7, and the pressure value of the cooling EG is obtained through the pressure gauge provided on the inlet header 1-5. After the pressure and flow rate of the cooling EG in the inlet header 1-5 meet the requirements, the shut-off valve four G1-54 between the main balance pipe 1-4 and the pressure balance pipe orifice 1-54 is closed and opened again when adjustment is needed.

[0043] Under normal circumstances, the isolation valve two G1-52 between the inlet header 1-5 and the bottom cooling EG inlet of the mechanical seal 1-1 is opened, the isolation valve one G1-51 between the inlet header 1-5 and the top cooling EG outlet of the mechanical seal 1-1 is closed, the isolation valve six G1-62 between the return header 1-6 and the top cooling EG outlet of the mechanical seal 1-1 is opened, and the isolation valve five G1-61 between the return header 1-6 and the bottom cooling EG inlet of the mechanical seal 1-1 is closed. After the cooling EG enters the inlet header 1-5, it will flow out of the inlet header 1-5 through the inlet pipe orifice and enter the sealing cavity of the mechanical seal 1-1 from the bottom cooling EG inlet of the mechanical seal 1-1 for flushing and cooling operations. When the cooling EG flows from the bottom of the mechanical seal 1-1 to the top of the mechanical seal 1-1, it will flow out of the sealing cavity through the cooling EG outlet.

[0044] After the cooling EG flows out of the sealing cavity, it will flow to the return liquid pipe orifice. The cooling EG enters the return liquid header 1-6 through the return liquid pipe orifice. After passing through the return liquid header 1-6, the cooling EG flows out of the return liquid header 1-6 through the liquid outlet pipe orifice 1-63. Immediately afterwards, it will pass through the return liquid flowmeter 1-8. The flow value of the cooling EG at this time can be obtained through the return liquid flowmeter 1-8. By comparing the difference with the flow value of the cooling EG displayed on the inlet liquid flowmeter 1-7, it can be determined whether there is leakage in the mechanical seal 1-1, thereby avoiding failures or damages in the cooling system of the mechanical seal 1-1, and further ensuring that the mechanical seal 1-1 can operate normally.

[0045] Finally, the cooling EG that flushes and cools one or more mechanical seals 1-1 will converge in the return liquid main pipe 1-3 and flow out of the entire system.

[0046] When foreign objects enter the sealing cavity or the cooling system of the mechanical seal 1-1, it will cause blockage of the cooling flow channel. At this time, it can be judged through the flow value of the cooling EG on the return liquid flowmeter 1-8. At this time, the isolation valve two G1-52 between the inlet liquid header 1-5 and the bottom cooling EG inlet of the mechanical seal 1-1 is closed, and the isolation valve one G1-51 between the inlet liquid header 1-5 and the top cooling EG outlet of the mechanical seal 1-1 is opened. At the same time, the isolation valve six G1-62 between the return liquid header 1-6 and the top cooling EG outlet of the mechanical seal 1-1 is closed, and the isolation valve five G1-61 between the return liquid header 1-6 and the bottom cooling EG inlet of the mechanical seal 1-1 is opened, so that the flow direction of the cooling EG is changed to upward inlet and downward outlet. After the cooling EG passes through the inlet liquid header 1-5, it enters from the top cooling EG outlet of the mechanical seal 1-1, and then flows out from the bottom cooling EG inlet to the return liquid header 1-6, and finally flows out of the system to perform reverse flushing on the mechanical seal 1-1, flushing the foreign objects out of the system, restoring the sealing function of the mechanical seal 1-1, and also being able to extend the service life of the mechanical seal 1-1.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: The parallel setting of the return liquid header 1-6 and the inlet liquid header 1-5 realizes the positive and negative switching of the flow direction of the coolant in the cooling flow channel, and further enables foreign objects to be flushed out and normal operation to be restored without stopping the machine for maintenance, improving work efficiency; The setting of the pressure balance pipe orifice 1-54 can change the flow rate and pressure of the coolant entering the sealing cavity of the mechanical seal 1-1, maintaining a lower coolant pressure inside the mechanical seal 1-1, which is beneficial to reducing the leakage amount of the mechanical seal 1-1 and extending the service life of the mechanical seal 1-1; The settings of the inlet liquid main pipe 1-2, the return liquid main pipe 1-3, and the balance main pipe 1-4 can be connected in parallel to cool multiple mechanical seals 1-1 simultaneously; The settings of the inlet liquid flowmeter 1-7 and the return liquid flowmeter 1-8 can judge whether there is leakage in the mechanical seal 1-1.
