Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of waste heat recovery, and specifically relates to a device for recovering waste heat from ethylene glycol distillation. Background Art

[0002] Ethylene glycol is a colorless, odorless, sweet liquid with low toxicity to animals. It is miscible with water and acetone, but has low solubility in ethers. It is mainly used in the production of polyester, polyester, polyester resin, desiccant, plasticizer, surfactant, synthetic fiber, cosmetics and explosives. Distillation is a separation process that uses the different volatility of each component in a mixture to separate the components.

[0003] In order to avoid wasting residual heat in the solution after distillation of ethylene glycol, it is usually necessary to recover the heat. In the existing technology, there are many recovery methods. The use of heat exchangers for heat recovery has some shortcomings: the heat recovery efficiency is low, and some heat is still dissipated. In order to improve the heat recovery efficiency, it is necessary to develop a high recovery rate equipment. Utility Model Content

[0006] Furthermore, the heat dissipation device includes an exhaust fan, which is arranged between the inner box and the outer box. A heat dissipation valve is connected to the exhaust fan, and the other end of the exhaust fan is connected to a cover. The heat between the outer box and the inner box can be circulated through the air vents when extracted by the exhaust fan, so that the heat between the outer box and the inner box can be discharged.

[0007] Furthermore, the spraying device includes a circulation pipe, one end of which is located at the bottom of the inner box and the other end is located at the top of the inner box. A circulation pump is provided on the circulation pipe, and the upper end of the circulation pipe is connected to a water sprinkling plate. The ethylene glycol in the inner box can be circulated up and down through the water sprinkling plate, so that the heat from the upper and lower parts is evenly absorbed by the heat exchange coil.

[0008] Preferably, a heat-insulating layer is provided on the inner wall of the inner box, which can effectively prevent the heat of the ethylene glycol solution in the inner box from being dissipated outward.

[0009] Preferably, observation windows are provided at the same horizontal position on the outer box and the inner box.

[0010] Preferably, a temperature sensor is provided in the inner box.

[0011] The utility model adopts the above structure to achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1.

[0022] like Figure 1 The heat exchange device 9 includes a heat exchange coil 10, which is located inside the inner box 4 and arranged in an up and down manner. The heat exchange coil 10 is provided with an inlet valve 11 and a drain valve 12. Cold water enters through the inlet valve 11, absorbs heat through the heat exchange coil 10, and is discharged from the drain valve 12.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 The heat dissipation device 7 includes an exhaust fan 13, which is arranged between the inner box 4 and the outer box 1. The exhaust fan 13 is connected to a heat dissipation valve 15. The other end of the exhaust fan 13 is connected to a cover 14. The heat between the outer box 1 and the inner box 4 is extracted by the exhaust fan 13 and can be circulated through the air vents 3, so that the heat between the outer box 1 and the inner box 4 can be discharged.
