TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to nitrogen recovery device field for tire manufacturing, in detail is a kind of nitrogen recovery energy-saving device. BACKGROUND
[0002] It is known that in tire production manufacturing industry, nitrogen is used as the main curing medium for tire curing instead of traditional steam or air, and the inertness and stability of nitrogen make it an ideal curing medium.
[0003] Tire curing using nitrogen must be matched with corresponding nitrogen manufacturing equipment, and to output qualified nitrogen, it needs to be matched with related equipment, such as water pump, cooling tower, air compressor, nitrogen generator, etc. The nitrogen used for tire curing not only has requirements on pressure, but also has strict requirements on nitrogen purity, otherwise it will cause batch of unqualified products, and will cause collective failure of curing machine equipment. The deep cooling nitrogen used at present is more efficient, but the air and nitrogen consumption output ratio is 3:1, which needs to consume more air, and nitrogen is not like water, electricity, wind and other media that can be used immediately, but needs complex process to output finished product nitrogen, and it takes 8 hours from starting the deep cooling nitrogen generator to output finished product nitrogen.
[0004] When the nitrogen generator is normally running, the liquid nitrogen storage tank is in a hot standby state, because the temperature of the liquid nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen tank is about-190℃, and the outside temperature is high, with continuous heat exchange with the outside, the temperature and pressure of part of the liquid nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen storage tank will rise, causing part of the liquid nitrogen to be gasified into gaseous nitrogen. To maintain the temperature and pressure of the liquid nitrogen storage tank, and to maintain the liquid level of the liquid nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen storage tank, part of the gaseous nitrogen needs to be discharged, and new liquid nitrogen needs to be supplemented.
[0005] According to the requirements in "Safety Operation Rules for Liquid Nitrogen Storage Tank", to ensure the safe operation of the liquid nitrogen storage tank, it is necessary to ensure that the stop valve is in the normal open state, the pressure regulating valve is adjusted to a reasonable range, and the gaseous nitrogen is automatically discharged. After this part of nitrogen is discharged, it is not recycled, which is a waste. SUMMARY
[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model provides a nitrogen recovery energy-saving device, which can recover part of the nitrogen and save cost.
[0007] The utility model discloses a technical scheme that solves its technical problem is: a nitrogen recovery energy -conserving device is equipped with liquid nitrogen storage tank, and liquid nitrogen storage tank pressure gauge is installed on liquid nitrogen storage tank, and the cavity of liquid nitrogen storage tank is connected with first stop valve one end through exhaust pipe, and the other end of first stop valve is connected with pressure regulating valve, and the gas outlet of pressure regulating valve is connected with safety valve, and its characterized in that, the gas outlet of pressure regulating valve and safety valve gas inlet are communicated with second stop valve, and the other end of second stop valve is communicated with nitrogen recovery tank, and nitrogen recovery tank pressure transmitter is installed in nitrogen recovery tank, and nitrogen recovery tank pressure transmitter is connected with PLC controller through data line, and the gas outlet of nitrogen recovery tank is connected with air compressor through electric control valve, and the gas inlet of air compressor is connected with qualified nitrogen storage tank, and PLC controller is connected with electric control valve and air compressor, and qualified nitrogen storage tank pressure gauge is installed on qualified nitrogen storage tank.
