[0028] In the three-tower equal-pressure drying device of the present invention, program-controlled valves 200 are respectively provided on the thirteenth branch road, the fourteenth branch road, the fifteenth branch road, the sixteenth branch road, the seventeenth branch road, and the eighteenth branch road.
[0029] In the three-tower isobaric drying device of the present invention, a flow meter 400 is provided on the heating circuit.
[0030] The main equipment of the three-tower isobaric drying device of the utility model includes: a heat exchanger, a dryer, a separator and related valves and pipelines.
[0031] When the three-tower isobaric drying device of the utility model is in operation, while one dryer is in the adsorption process, the other two dryers are heating and cooling. The three dryers operate in turn, and the adsorption cycle of each dryer is 8 hours. The entire drying process is implemented by automatic switching of the program-controlled valve to achieve continuous operation. The water content in the raw gas after drying is less than 1ppm.
[0032] The dryer is filled with adsorbent.
[0033] The adsorbent can be activated carbon, molecular sieve, or silica gel.
[0034] The adsorption process is automatically controlled by a programmable valve.
[0035] The three-tower isobaric drying device of the utility model is used not only for drying and dehydrating, but also for removing gas impurities such as carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons and other components from the gas.
[0036] The three-tower isobaric drying device of the utility model is particularly suitable for the purification and dehydration process of industrial gases.
[0037] When one dryer is in the adsorption process, the other two dryers are heating and cooling. The three dryers operate in turn. The adsorption cycle of each dryer is 8 hours. The entire drying process is implemented by the program-controlled valve to automatically switch to achieve continuous operation. The water content of the dried raw gas is less than 1ppm. Taking the first dryer as an example, its working process is described as follows:
[0038] a) Adsorption process: The raw gas enters the first dryer from the bottom through the flow regulating valve and the program-controlled valve. Under the selective adsorption of the adsorbent, the moisture in the gas is adsorbed. The dry gas flows out from the top of the equipment and enters the next process through the program-controlled valve. The adsorption process lasts for 8 hours.
[0039] After the adsorption process is completed, the raw gas feed valve and outlet valve are automatically closed, the adsorption stops, and the dryer begins to enter the regeneration process.
[0040] b) Heating process: The regenerated gas enters the dryer through the flow meter and program-controlled valve. After being dehydrated by the dryer, the regenerated gas passes through the program-controlled valve to dry the regeneration heater. The dryer is hot-blown through the heater through the program-controlled valve. The high-temperature regenerated gas releases the moisture adsorbed by the molecular sieve and enters the drying regeneration cooler from the bottom of the equipment through the program-controlled valve together with the regenerated gas. After being cooled to 40°C by the cooler, it enters the drying regeneration separator. The separated liquid phase is discharged from the bottom of the separator and then sent out of the boundary area; the gas phase is discharged from the top of the separator and enters the inlet pipeline of the dryer to mix with the raw gas. When the temperature of the regenerated gas out of the bottom of the dryer reaches 180°C, the heating process is completed. The heating process takes about 4 hours.
[0041] c) Cooling Process: After the dryer heating process is complete, the cooling process begins. Regeneration gas flows through a flow meter and a program-controlled valve into the dryer, cooling the dryer. The regeneration gas then flows through a program-controlled valve from the top of the equipment into the dryer regeneration heater, where it flows through the heater into the dryer, providing a hot blow to the dryer. The cooling process is complete when the temperature of the regeneration gas at the top of the dryer reaches approximately 40°C. This process takes approximately four hours.
[0042] The entire drying process is automatically switched by a program-controlled valve according to the program. The operator can adjust the program time to control the drying process. After these steps, the dryer has completed a complete "adsorption-regeneration" cycle and is ready for the next adsorption.
[0043] The three-tower isobaric drying device of the present invention can achieve 24-hour uninterrupted operation. When one dryer is adsorbing, the other two dryers are heating and cooling. The three dryers operate in turn. The adsorption cycle of each dryer is eight hours. The entire drying process is automated. The water content in the dried raw gas is less than 1ppm. It has the advantage of high working efficiency and can meet the efficiency requirements of upstream and downstream processing procedures.
[0044] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
