Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical equipment technology, specifically to a water vapor collection device for connecting to the breather port of a reaction tank. Background Art
[0002] In biopharmaceutical cleanrooms, reaction tanks with a certain volume and low pressure resistance require precise control of the cleaning fluid flow rate and pressure during Clean In-Place (CIP) procedures. If the CIP process includes a step involving high-temperature alkaline solutions and / or water for injection, the high-temperature cleaning fluid will carry and release a large amount of hot water vapor during cleaning, causing a rapid increase in pressure within the reaction tank. Because the reaction tank is not pressure-resistant, the vent must remain open, allowing a large amount of hot air to be expelled, carrying a small amount of hot alkali and / or water for injection. The expelled hot air and high-temperature cleaning fluid affect the temperature and humidity within the clean area, corroding the cleanroom floor and wall panels. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, this invention provides a water vapor collection device for connecting to the breather port of a reaction vessel, which can effectively collect the hot air and high-temperature cleaning fluid discharged during CIP of the reaction vessel, maintaining the temperature, humidity, and environmental hygiene of the clean area.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A water vapor collection device for connecting to the breather of a reaction vessel includes a discharge pipe, a collection cylinder, and a water collector; one end of the discharge pipe is connected to the breather of the reaction vessel, and the other end extends into the collection cylinder; the top of the collection cylinder is constricted and sealed to the outer wall of the discharge pipe, the bottom of the collection cylinder is open and extends into the water collector, and the bottom of the water collector is provided with a discharge port.
[0006] Furthermore, the end of the discharge pipe located inside the collection cylinder is flared.
[0007] Furthermore, the top of the collecting cylinder is tapered and narrowed.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a cross-connector, one end of which is connected to the vent of the reaction vessel, and the other end is connected to the discharge pipe.
[0009] Preferably, the two ends of the cross-connector are provided with TC connectors.
[0010] Preferably, the cross-connector is inverted "U" shape.
[0011] Furthermore, the discharge pipe includes a straight pipe section and a discharge section, the straight pipe section is connected to a jumper pipe, and the discharge section is connected to a collection cylinder, the straight pipe section and the discharge section are detachably connected.
[0012] Preferably, TC connectors are provided at both ends of the straight pipe section.
[0013] Preferably, the cross-connector, discharge pipe, and collection cylinder are made of 316L stainless steel pipe.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] This utility model discloses a water vapor collection device for connecting to the breather port of a reaction vessel. When the reaction vessel is cleaned and in place (CIP), the device can be quickly connected to effectively collect the discharged hot air and high-temperature cleaning fluid, reducing the impact of the discharged hot air and high-temperature cleaning fluid on the clean area and avoiding the need for cleaning the reaction vessel and surrounding floors and walls after CIP.
[0016] The water vapor collection device for connecting to the breather of a reaction vessel of this invention is not limited to non-pressure-resistant reaction vessels. It is also applicable to process steps in various industries where hot and cold water vapor needs to be discharged from the breather of the reaction vessel / reactor, and its application range is wide.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application.

[0021] A water vapor collection device for connecting to the breather port of a reaction vessel, such as Figure 1As shown, the system includes a discharge pipe 4, a collection cylinder 5, and a water collector 6. One end of the discharge pipe 4 is connected to the vent of the reaction vessel, and the other end extends into the collection cylinder 5. The top of the collection cylinder 5 is constricted and sealed to the outer wall of the discharge pipe 4. The bottom of the collection cylinder 5 is open and extends into the water collector 6, which has a discharge port 7 at its bottom. Preferably, the end of the discharge pipe 4 inside the collection cylinder 5 is funnel-shaped, which helps to release pressurized high-temperature water vapor mixture into the collection cylinder 5. The top of the collection cylinder 5 is conical and constricted. The pressurized high-temperature water vapor mixture released through the discharge pipe 4 rises and contacts the conical top wall of the collection cylinder 5. After condensation, it flows through the side wall into the water collector 6 below and is finally discharged through the discharge port 7.
[0022] Furthermore, it also includes a cross-connector 1, one end of which is connected to the vent of the reaction vessel, and the other end is connected to the discharge pipe 4. Both ends of the cross-connector 1 are equipped with TC connectors 2 for easy disassembly and connection. Preferably, the cross-connector 1 is inverted "U" shape, introducing the pressurized high-temperature water vapor mixture discharged upwards from the vent of the reaction vessel into the vertically downward-extending discharge pipe 4. When the discharge pipe 4 is disconnected from the cross-connector 1, the reaction vessel can breathe; when the discharge pipe 4 is connected to the cross-connector 1, the water vapor mixture can be transferred to the collecting cylinder 5 and the water collector 6 for discharge.
[0023] Preferably, the discharge pipe 4 includes a straight pipe section 3 and a discharge section. The straight pipe section 3 is connected to the jumper pipe 1, and the discharge section is connected to the collection cylinder 5. The straight pipe section 3 and the discharge section are detachably connected. Preferably, TC connectors 2 are provided at both ends of the straight pipe section for easy and quick connection and disassembly.
