Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of MVR evaporator technology, and more specifically, to a steam condensation structure for an MVR evaporator. Background Technology

[0002] MVR (Mechanical Vapor Recompression) is an energy-saving technology that reuses the energy of the secondary steam it generates, thereby reducing the demand for external energy. Its working process involves compressing low-temperature steam through a compressor, increasing its temperature, pressure, and enthalpy, and then condensing it in a heat exchanger to fully utilize the latent heat of the steam. Except during startup, the secondary steam from the evaporator is compressed by the compressor, increasing its pressure, temperature, and enthalpy, and then sent to the heating chamber of the evaporator as heating steam to maintain the feed liquid at a boiling state, while the heating steam itself condenses into water. The steam that would otherwise be wasted is fully utilized, recovering latent heat and improving thermal efficiency. The main function of steam condensation in an MVR evaporator is to condense the evaporated secondary steam through the condenser to obtain a water-like liquid. The condenser uses a counter-current design, but existing steam condensation structures typically only condense the steam once, which is not conducive to ensuring complete condensation and easily leads to the waste of heat in the steam. Therefore, we propose a steam condensation structure for an MVR evaporator. Utility Model Content

[0022] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The water supply mechanism 8 includes multiple water inlet pipes 13 fixedly sleeved on one side of the condenser box 1. One end of each water inlet pipe 13 is fixedly sleeved to the inner cavity of multiple condenser heat exchange boxes 4. The other end of each water inlet pipe 13 is fixedly sleeved with a water distribution pipe 14. The end of the water distribution pipe 14 is fixedly connected to a water inlet pipe 15.

[0023] In this embodiment, the wastewater used for condensation is introduced into the distribution pipe 14 through the water inlet pipe 15, so that the wastewater used for condensation can be introduced into the curved water guide trough 5 in the condensation heat exchange box 4 through the distribution pipe 14 and the water inlet pipe 13. In addition, the wastewater used for condensation can be wastewater to be put into the MVR evaporator for treatment, so as to preheat the wastewater.

[0024] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The drainage mechanism 9 includes multiple water outlet pipes 16 fixedly sleeved on the other side of the condenser box 1. One end of each water outlet pipe 16 is fixedly sleeved to the inner cavity of multiple condenser heat exchange boxes 4. The other end of each water outlet pipe 16 is fixedly sleeved with a water collection pipe 17. The end of the water collection pipe 17 is fixedly connected to a drain pipe 18.

[0025] In this embodiment, the water used for condensation is collected through the water collection pipe 17 and discharged through the drain pipe 18.

[0026] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The collection mechanism 10 includes multiple rods 19 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the condensation box 1. The bottom end of the multiple rods 19 is fixedly connected to a placement seat 20. A water receiving tank 21 is placed on the top surface of the placement seat 20.

[0027] In this embodiment, the condensate discharged from the electrically controlled valve 11 is collected using the water collection tank 21.

[0032] Working Principle: During operation, steam generated in the MVR evaporator is first introduced into the inner cavity of the steam inlet pipe 2. Simultaneously, wastewater to be treated is introduced into the distribution pipe 14 through the water inlet pipe 15. The wastewater in the distribution pipe 14 is then guided from the inlet pipe 13 into the curved water guide channel 5 inside the condensing heat exchanger 4, allowing the wastewater to flow within the curved water guide channel 5. Then, the steam introduced into the inner cavity of the condensing tank 1 comes into contact with multiple condensing heat exchangers 4, causing the steam to move within the curved steam guide channel 6. This allows heat exchange between the wastewater and the steam in the curved water guide channel 5, thereby... The steam is cooled and turns into condensate, which accumulates at the bottom of the inner cavity of the condenser box 1. Then, the wastewater after heat exchange in the curved water guide channel 5 is introduced from the outlet pipe 16 into the water collection pipe 17, and the wastewater in the water collection pipe 17 is introduced into the MVR evaporator through the drain pipe 18 for treatment. Thus, the heat of the steam is used to pre-treat the wastewater and condense the steam. Finally, when the steam is no longer condensed, the controller 23 controls the electric control valve 11 to open, so that the water condensed in the lower part of the inner cavity of the condenser box 1 is introduced into the water receiving tank 21 for collection.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model based on the technical solution and its improved concept should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
