Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of liquid nitrogen quick-freezing, in particular to a nitrogen discharge centrifugal fan for preventing the fan blades from frosting. Background Technique
[0002] The liquid nitrogen quick-freezing machine is an indispensable high-efficiency quick-freezing device in the modern food processing industry. It utilizes liquid nitrogen to rapidly vaporize into nitrogen gas in the cold chamber of the quick-freezing machine, absorbing a large amount of heat, thereby realizing the rapid cooling and freezing of food. However, the temperature of the nitrogen gas after the vaporization of liquid nitrogen is still relatively low. If directly discharged into the environment, it will not only cause waste of energy, but also may have an adverse impact on the surrounding environment. More importantly, when these low-temperature nitrogen gases are discharged through the exhaust system, they will have a certain impact on the fan blades of the centrifugal fan.
[0003] The nitrogen discharge centrifugal fan, as a key component of the exhaust system of the liquid nitrogen quick-freezing machine, undertakes the important task of effectively discharging the low-temperature nitrogen gas generated during the quick-freezing process. Its working principle is to generate centrifugal force through the high-speed rotation of the fan blades, pushing the gas from the suction end to the discharge end. However, during the long-term operation of the liquid nitrogen quick-freezing machine, the low-temperature nitrogen gas continuously cools the fan blades of the centrifugal fan, causing the surface temperature of the fan blades to gradually decrease, which provides conditions for the formation of frost. With the continuous accumulation of frost, the exhaust air volume of the fan will gradually decrease, the working efficiency will decrease significantly, and even may lead to the blockage of the entire exhaust system, affecting the normal operation of the quick-freezing machine. Therefore, how to effectively deal with the adverse impact of low-temperature nitrogen gas on the fan blades without changing the basic working principle of the centrifugal fan has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.
