Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air separation equipment, in particular to an anti-cold-leakage vacuum short section. Background Technique

[0002] An air separation device is a device used to separate and purify the components in a mixed gas, and is mainly applied to industries such as gas manufacturing, oil refining, chemical engineering, and medicine in the industrial field. With the development of industry, the demand for high-purity liquid components and the like increases. In an air separation device, when low-temperature liquid components enter and exit the cold box, due to the insufficient heat insulation performance of the pipe passing through the cold box wall, the cold quantity will conduct from the inside of the pipe to the outside, resulting in a decrease in the temperature of the cold box wall plate near the pipe, increasing the possibility of frosting on the pipe and the cold box wall plate. When frosting occurs on the wall, the frost layer or water film will keep the pipe surface in a wet state continuously. The long-term wet environment is likely to cause corrosion and damage to the pipe and the cold box panel. Corrosion and damage may lead to leakage or rupture of the pipe and the cold box panel, further affecting the reliability and safety of the system. Wall frosting will increase the difficulty and cost of system maintenance. Removing the frost or water film on the pipe and the cold box surface requires extra work and time. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the device to prevent frosting may require a more frequent maintenance plan and resource investment;

The vacuum valve is used to control the vacuum degree of the gap between the inner wall of the outer tube and the outer wall of the inner tube through the connecting pipe. Therefore, this vacuum tube will not have contact heat transfer with the outside world to ensure that the temperature inside the vacuum tube will not be affected by the external environment. According to the state equation of ideal gas PV=nRT, since the temperature inside the vacuum tube remains unchanged, the pressure inside the vacuum tube will not change either, so as to achieve the purpose of stabilizing the pressure, that is, the vacuum degree is stable;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0027] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-6 , this utility model provides an anti-cold-running vacuum stub, which includes an inner layer pipe 1, an outer layer pipe 2, a heat-insulating material 3 and a sealing assembly 4. A vacuum extraction pipe 24 is fixedly embedded on one side of the outer layer pipe 2, and a one-way valve 25 is installed in the vacuum extraction pipe 24;

[0029] Specifically, connect the vacuum extraction pipe 24 to an external vacuum pump. Starting the vacuum pump can extract air, and a vacuum cavity can be formed between the inner layer pipe 1, the outer layer pipe 2 and the sealing assembly 4. Since heat conduction is mainly transmitted through molecular collisions, the anti-cold-running vacuum stub can effectively isolate the heat transfer of the connection part. The one-way valve 25 is used to prevent the anti-cold-running vacuum stub from leaking after the vacuum extraction pipe 24 is separated from the vacuum pump.

[0030] Furthermore, a flange 23 is fixedly welded on the outer side of the outer layer pipe 2;

[0031] Specifically, the flange 23 is fixed to the air separation equipment with screws, which can be used to support and fix the entire anti-cold-running vacuum stub to maintain its stability and safety;

[0032] Furthermore, the outer layer pipe 2 is sleeved on the outer side of the middle part of the inner layer pipe 1, and any one of epoxy paint, peroxyethylene paint or urethane paint is coated on the inner wall of the inner layer pipe 1;

[0033] Specifically, epoxy paint, peroxyethylene paint and urethane paint can all resist acid and alkali corrosion, and the inner layer pipe 1, the outer layer pipe 2, the inner connecting ring 42 and the outer connecting ring 43 are all made of stainless steel or nickel-based alloy materials, which are not easy to rust and extend the service life of the equipment

[0034] Furthermore, the heat-insulating material 3 is located between the inner layer pipe 1 and the outer layer pipe 2. The heat-insulating material 3 is filled in the vacuum cavity formed between the inner layer pipe 1, the outer layer pipe 2 and the heat-insulating board 41, and the heat-insulating material 3 is made of polyurethane foam or polystyrene foam;

[0035] Specifically, polyurethane foam or polystyrene foam is filled in a vacuum environment, which can reduce heat conduction and thermal radiation and improve the heat insulation ability of the anti-cold-running vacuum stub;

[0036] Furthermore, a sealing assembly 4 is installed at both interfaces of the inner layer pipe 1 and the outer layer pipe 2. The sealing assembly 4 includes a heat-insulating board 41 in a ring structure;

[0037] Specifically, the heat-insulating board 41 is located between the inner layer pipe 1 and the outer layer pipe 2, which plays a role in supporting and connecting the inner layer pipe 1 and the outer layer pipe 2, reduces the heat conduction effect, reduces the energy loss, and improves the heat preservation ability of the anti-cold-running vacuum stub.

[0038] Further, an inner connection ring 42 is fixedly embedded at the inner edge of the heat insulation plate 41. The inner connection ring 42 is threadedly connected to the inner layer pipe 1. At both ends of the outer wall of the inner layer pipe 1, retaining rings 11 are fixedly welded. External threads 12 are correspondingly provided on the outer wall of the inner layer pipe 1 beside the retaining rings 11 and corresponding to the inner connection ring 42.

[0039] Specifically, the threaded structure of the inner connection ring 42 is in threaded cooperation with the external threads 12, which can prevent the inner connection ring 42 from shifting, and the assembly is fast. The retaining ring 11 plays a limiting role, enabling the inner connection ring 42 to be accurately positioned, and the retaining ring 11 and the inner connection ring 42 together play a role in pressing the inner sealing ring 44.

[0040] Further, an outer connection ring 43 is fixedly embedded at the outer edge of the heat insulation plate 41. The outer connection ring 43 is threadedly connected to the outer layer pipe 2. Inner concave rings 21 are provided on both side end faces of the outer layer pipe 2. Internal threads 22 are provided on the peripheral wall of the inner concave ring 21 corresponding to the outer connection ring 43.

[0041] Specifically, the threaded structure of the outer connection ring 43 is in threaded cooperation with the internal threads 22, which can prevent the outer connection ring 43 from shifting, and the assembly is fast.

[0042] Further, the sealing assembly 4 further includes an inner sealing ring 44 and an outer sealing ring 45. The inner sealing ring 44 is clamped between the retaining ring 11 and the heat insulation plate 41, and the outer sealing ring 45 is clamped between the inner concave ring 21 and the heat insulation plate 41.

[0043] Specifically, both the inner sealing ring 44 and the outer sealing ring 45 are O-rings made of silicone material, and the two are pressed in the connection gap to ensure that the cold insulation vacuum short joint does not leak.

[0044] Further, the heat insulation plate 41 is made of phenolic plywood material, and the inner connection ring 42, the outer connection ring 43 and the heat insulation plate 41 are adhesively fixed into an integral structure.

[0045] Specifically, the phenolic plywood has excellent heat insulation performance. Compared with using metal materials to support and connect the inner layer pipe 1 and the outer layer pipe 2, the thermal resistance effect is remarkable.

[0046] Working principle: When in use, first sleeved the outer pipe 2 on the outside of the inner pipe 1. Then, place the outer sealing ring 45 in the inner concave ring 21. After placing the inner sealing ring 44 on one side of the retaining ring 11, screw and install one of the heat insulation plates 41 to the interface between the inner pipe 1 and the outer pipe 2. Then, fill the open interface between the inner pipe 1 and the outer pipe 2 with the heat insulation material 3. After filling the heat insulation material 3, screw the other heat insulation plate 41 to the interface between the inner pipe 1 and the outer pipe 2. After that, connect the vacuum extraction pipe 24 to an external vacuum pump, and start the vacuum pump to extract air, so as to form a vacuum cavity between the inner pipe 1, the outer pipe 2 and the sealing assembly 4, improving its heat insulation ability.
