Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vacuum systems, and in particular relates to a high-efficiency dry vacuum system that is easy to maintain. Background Art

[0002] In the chemical industry, the preparation and inspection of many chemical products need to be carried out under a vacuum system. The function of the vacuum system is to enable the vacuum container to obtain and maintain a vacuum within a specified time and space, thereby ensuring the implementation of a certain process or physical process in the system. When the pressure in the container is lower than the atmospheric pressure, the part below the atmospheric pressure is called vacuum.

[0003] At present, the vacuum pumps used in vacuum systems are divided into wet type and easy-to-maintain high-efficiency dry type vacuum pumps. Among them, water circulation vacuum pumps are noisy and inefficient. They are limited by the saturated vapor pressure of water, have low vacuum degree, and the large amount of circulating water used can easily cause material loss and environmental pollution. In addition, the failure rate of commonly used dry screw vacuum pumps has remained high during operation. The main failures are divided into two categories: First, according to the design of the dry screw vacuum pump, the internal temperature of the pump is between 110°C and 260°C. There is no liquid inside the screw pump to absorb heat, so the maximum inlet temperature of the pump is generally not allowed to exceed 70°C. The inlet gas temperature is too high, resulting in an excessively high internal temperature of the pump, causing the pump to get stuck; second, when the screw vacuum pump extracts condensable gases, condensed liquid will accumulate at the exhaust port of the pump. Once the pump stops, these liquids will return to the pump cavity, making it difficult to restart the pump. The accumulated liquid in the pump cavity increases the vibration and noise during operation. Most of these liquids are corrosive. If they remain in the pump cavity for a long time, they will corrode the screw and pump cavity. Once a failure occurs, frequent cleaning and replacement are required, resulting in increased maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to reduce the failure rate of screw vacuum pumps, the present application provides an easy-to-maintain, efficient dry vacuum system that can effectively reduce the failure rate of vacuum pumps, improve the problems of pump jamming due to excessive temperature and residual condensable gas corroding the screw and pump chamber.

[0005] This application provides an easy-to-maintain, efficient dry vacuum system using the following technical solutions:

[0006] An easy-to-maintain, high-efficiency dry vacuum system comprises a multi-stage separation and recovery device, a condensing device and a vacuum buffer device connected in sequence through pipelines;

[0007] The multi-stage separation and recovery device includes a separation buffer tank, which is sequentially connected to a three-stage Roots pump, a three-stage heat exchanger, a two-stage Roots pump, a two-stage heat exchanger, a first-stage Roots pump, and a first-stage heat exchanger through pipelines. The bottom of the first-stage Roots pump is connected to a first-stage liquid storage tank, the bottom of the second-stage Roots pump is connected to a second-stage liquid storage tank, and the bottom of the third-stage Roots pump is connected to a third-stage liquid storage tank.

[0008] The condensing device is used to condense the condensable gas into liquid and separate the organic waste and impurities in the liquid again; the vacuum buffer device is used to recover the vacuum material.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, by installing a multi-stage separation and recovery device and a condensation device before the vacuum buffer device, the gas entering the vacuum buffer device is cooled to an appropriate temperature, and the condensable gas is separated and condensed and recovered at multiple stages, greatly reducing the possibility of liquid accumulation in the vacuum buffer device and corrosion. After the steam is cooled by the first-stage heat exchanger, some of the condensable gas condenses into liquid, which is collected by the first-stage liquid storage tank. The gas recovered after the first-stage separation enters the second-stage separation and recovery, where the condensable gas is further condensed and collected. This process is repeated multiple times until as much of the condensable gas as possible is condensed into liquid. The gas then enters the vacuum buffer device, where it is evacuated and the vacuum material is recovered.

[0010] In a specific possible implementation scheme, the condensing device includes a condenser, a one-way valve is provided at the bottom of the condenser, and the one-way valve is connected to a condensate collection tank.

[0011] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, a condensing device is arranged before the vacuum buffer device, so that the condensable gas entering the condenser is condensed and recovered into the condensate collection tank through the one-way valve arranged at the bottom, so that the gas entering the vacuum buffer device is cooled to a suitable temperature, and the condensable gas is avoided from condensing and remaining in the pump cavity for a long time, corroding the screw and the pump cavity.

[0012] In a specific possible implementation scheme, the outlet of the first-stage heat exchanger is provided with a three-way pipe fitting, one end of which is connected to the condenser, and the other end is connected to a gate valve, and the gate valve is connected to a steam source.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the steam source is connected to the gate valve through a pipeline, and then the steam enters the primary heat exchanger and condenser respectively through the three-way pipe fitting, thereby improving the steam-liquid separation efficiency and cooling rate, so that the gas entering the vacuum buffer device is cooled to a suitable temperature, and condensation of condensable gas is avoided, thereby making the vacuum buffer device less prone to failure and easy to maintain.

[0014] In a specific possible implementation scheme, the vacuum buffer device includes a screw vacuum pump, the screw vacuum pump is connected to a vacuum buffer tank, and the vacuum buffer tank is also provided with a vent valve.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the multi-stage separation and recovery device and condensation device ensure that the temperature of the gas entering the screw vacuum pump is appropriate, avoiding excessive temperatures that could cause the pump to jam. It also maximizes the recovery of condensable gases and avoids the accumulation of corrosive liquid in the pump chamber, which can cause increased vibration and noise, and corrode the screw and pump chamber, requiring repair and replacement. A vacuum buffer tank and vent valve further recover a very small amount of condensable gas, while non-condensable gases are discharged through the vent valve, improving the vacuum level and vacuuming efficiency.

[0016] In a specific embodiment, the condensate collection tank is sequentially connected to a check valve, a second vacuum gauge and a condensation heat exchanger, and the condensation heat exchanger is connected to the screw vacuum pump.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, a check valve and a second vacuum gauge are set between the condensate collection tank and the screw vacuum pump, so that the gas can be fully condensed to a suitable temperature, the vacuum degree can be observed at all times, and the maintenance of the instrument and fault detection are facilitated, making the system safer and more reliable.

[0018] In a specific implementation scheme, the separation buffer tank is connected to a first vacuum gauge through a pipeline, the first vacuum gauge is connected to a hydraulic valve, the hydraulic valve is connected to a vacuum box, and the hydraulic valve is also connected to the screw vacuum pump.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the gas after multi-stage separation, recovery and heat exchange enters the screw vacuum pump through the first vacuum gauge and the hydraulic valve, avoiding excessive temperature and causing the pump to get stuck and cause malfunction.

[0020] In a specific implementation scheme, the first-stage Roots pump, the second-stage Roots pump, and the third-stage Roots pump are all connected to the screw vacuum pump through pipelines.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, in each stage of the recovery and separation process, after heat exchange in the heat exchanger, part of the gas that has been cooled and purified enters the screw vacuum pump, thereby improving the efficiency of the dry vacuum system and reducing the energy consumption of continuous operation.

[0022] In a specific feasible implementation scheme, the multi-stage separation and recovery device is further provided with a circulating water tank, which is connected to a circulating water supply pump and a circulating water return pump. The circulating water supply pump is respectively connected to the three-stage Roots pump, the two-stage Roots pump, and the first-stage Roots pump through water pipes; the circulating water return pump is respectively connected to the first-stage Roots pump, the two-stage Roots pump, and the three-stage Roots pump.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the circulating water flows into the three-stage Roots pump, the two-stage Roots pump, and the first-stage Roots pump respectively, thereby further cooling the condensable gas entering the Roots pump and improving the cooling efficiency.

[0024] In a specific possible implementation scheme, the condensing device includes a chilled water feed pump, a chilled water return pump and a refrigeration unit. The chilled water feed pump is connected to the refrigeration unit, the chilled water feed pump is connected to the condenser through a water pipe, the condenser is connected to the chilled water return pump through a water pipe, and the chilled water return pump is connected to the refrigeration unit.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the refrigeration unit cools the condenser, thereby improving the condensing efficiency of the condenser.

[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0027] 1. By installing a multi-stage separation and recovery device and a condensation device before the vacuum buffer device, the gas entering the vacuum buffer device is cooled to an appropriate temperature. The condensable gas is also separated and condensed and recovered at multiple stages, greatly reducing the possibility of liquid accumulation in the vacuum buffer device and corrosion. After the steam is cooled by the first-stage heat exchanger, some condensable gases condense into liquids, which are collected in the first-stage liquid storage tank. The gas recovered after the first-stage separation and recovery enters the second-stage separation and recovery, where the condensable gases are further condensed and collected. This process is repeated multiple times until as much of the condensable gas as possible is condensed into liquids. The gas then enters the vacuum buffer device, where it is evacuated and the vacuum material is recovered.

[0028] 2. The steam source is connected to the gate valve through a pipeline, and then connected to the three-way pipe fitting so that the steam enters the primary heat exchanger and condenser respectively, thereby improving the vapor-liquid separation efficiency and cooling rate of the steam, so that the gas entering the vacuum buffer device is cooled to a suitable temperature, and condensation of condensable gases is avoided, thereby making the vacuum buffer device less prone to failure and easy to maintain.
