Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas treatment technology, and in particular to an air-temperature vaporizer structure. Background Technology

[0002] An ambient air vaporizer is a vaporization device that utilizes its own heat dissipation and absorption of heat from the external atmosphere to achieve vaporization. Its main function is to convert liquid media into gaseous media, thereby meeting various industrial and civilian needs. In recent years, with the increasing emphasis on environmental protection and air quality improvement by the state, the pace of environmental governance has accelerated, especially in projects such as coal-to-gas conversion, which have achieved significant progress. This has led to a sharp increase in market demand for natural gas. Liquefied natural gas (LNG), as a clean and efficient energy source, has begun to be gradually promoted and popularized in cities. As a highly efficient and energy-saving heat exchange device, ambient air vaporizers have been widely used in various applications such as LNG vaporization stations, LNG cylinder stations, LNG refueling stations, L-CNG refueling stations, and LNG point supply (non-pipeline supply). However, existing LNG ambient air vaporizers have some design shortcomings. Traditional heat-conducting pipe structures typically include a central pipe with radial heat-conducting elements outside the pipe. In this structure, liquid flows inside the pipe, while the heat-conducting element absorbs heat from the external environment and transfers this heat to the liquid inside the pipe to achieve the endothermic vaporization process of the liquid. However, existing devices require heating the water inside the entire circulating water tank during the heating process, which not only leads to low heating efficiency but also rapid heat loss, thus affecting the overall energy utilization efficiency and economic benefits.

[0003] The patent "A Forced Convection Vertical Air-Temperature Vaporizer" (publication number CN221825956U, hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 1) discloses that Prior Art 1 achieves forced convection of air through fan blades, a drive device, and a sealing cover control module, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency and vaporization efficiency inside the vaporizer. Simultaneously, by controlling the operation of the sliding door, telescopic device, and drive device through the control module, the air supply and heat dissipation status can be adjusted according to actual needs, achieving automatic control and ensuring that an appropriate amount of air supply and suitable heat dissipation are provided under different conditions.

[0004] While existing technology 1 can improve heat exchange and vaporization efficiency by increasing airflow through forced convection, this technology is not suitable in all situations. Especially in low-temperature environments, forced air convection can have some negative effects. Specifically, when the ambient temperature drops to a certain level, forced convection causes a rapid decrease in the temperature of the vaporizer fins. This sharp temperature drop adversely affects vaporization efficiency, thereby reducing overall heat exchange performance. Therefore, temperature factors must be considered when designing and applying this technology to ensure optimal heat exchange performance under various conditions. Utility Model Content

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Please see Figure 1This embodiment proposes an ambient temperature vaporizer structure. This design incorporates a sprayer and a water collection device on the exterior of the vaporizer 100, enabling water recycling. Through the combined and coordinated operation of this sprayer, water collection device, and vaporizer 100, water resources are effectively utilized to improve the working efficiency of the vaporizer 100. Simultaneously, the water used during the spraying process is recycled through the water collection device, achieving water conservation. This design not only improves the performance of the vaporizer 100 but also offers the dual advantages of environmental protection and economy.

[0028] In this embodiment, the sprayers are arranged over a wide area to ensure they cover the entire outer surface of the vaporizer 100, achieving comprehensive coverage. This design allows the spray pipes of the sprayers to perform efficient and uniform spraying of the vaporizer 100, ensuring that every part is adequately sprayed. The sprayers are interconnected through a series of spray pipes 310, forming a complete spray network, thus ensuring uniform water distribution and preventing uneven coverage in any area. Furthermore, the spray pipes 310 of the sprayers are equipped with multiple nozzles 311, which are evenly arranged at the top of the vaporizer 100. This design allows the nozzles 311 to be directly aimed at the surface of the vaporizer 100, achieving optimal spraying effect. The direct aiming of the nozzles 311 ensures that the sprayed water evenly covers every part of the vaporizer 100, ensuring that the vaporizer 100 receives sufficient heat for operation. Meanwhile, the continuous heating through the hot water in the spray pipe 310 helps to slow down the heat loss of the vaporizer 100, thus ensuring vaporization efficiency. This setup not only improves the efficiency of the spraying operation but also ensures the stable operation and high efficiency of the vaporizer 100.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the vaporizer 100 includes a vaporization pipe 110 that has undergone multiple reciprocating bends. This vaporization pipe 110 is fixed and installed by a mounting bracket 200. During the bending process, the vaporization pipe 110 forms multiple curved sections 111 and straight sections 112. To improve vaporization efficiency, the straight sections 112 of the vaporization pipe 110 are all equipped with heat-conducting elements.

[0030] Please see Figure 2Normally, during the heating process of the vaporization pipe 110, the heat-conducting component absorbs heat from the outside, causing its own temperature to rise. Subsequently, the heat-conducting component transfers the absorbed heat to the vaporization pipe 110, thus aiding in the vaporization process of the liquid within the pipe. This design achieves high efficiency under sufficient sunlight. However, its efficiency decreases significantly when the outside temperature is low. To address this issue, a spray device is also provided in this embodiment. This spray device can cool down the vaporization pipe 110 and the heat-conducting component when their temperatures are too high, preventing overheating. Simultaneously, when the outside temperature is low, the spray device can improve efficiency by spraying liquid, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the vaporization process.

[0031] Please see Figure 2 The heat-conducting element is positioned and installed on the straight section 112 of the vaporization pipe 110. This design ensures uniform heat distribution within the pipe, thereby extending the heat transfer path. This precise configuration not only significantly improves vaporization efficiency but also ensures the stability and reliability of the entire vaporization process. This design enables the vaporizer 100 to maintain high operating efficiency under varying ambient temperatures, thus meeting the needs of various practical applications.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment, a water collection device is specially designed at the bottom of the vaporizer 100, tilted at a certain angle, completely covering the bottom of the vaporizer 100. This water collection device effectively helps the vaporizer 100 recover and reuse water after spraying. The water collection device includes a water storage section 320 and a diversion section, wherein the diversion section is configured as a diversion plate 331, which is tilted from one end of the vaporizer 100 to the water storage section 320. Water after spraying flows downwards along the heat-conducting element, helping to heat or cool it. Subsequently, the water falls onto the diversion plate 331 and collects in the water storage section 320 for reuse. This design not only improves water resource utilization but also further optimizes the overall performance of the vaporizer 100.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 The water storage section 320 is located at the lower end of the diversion plate 331 and is tightly connected to the diversion plate 331. Its main function is to collect and store the liquid flowing out from the surface of the diversion plate 331, ensuring that the liquid can flow smoothly from the diversion plate 331 into the water storage section 320, thereby achieving the purpose of effectively collecting and storing the liquid.

[0034] Please see Figure 2The heat-conducting element is configured with a heat-conducting structure having multiple fins 121; these fins 121 are spaced apart at a certain angle to ensure sufficient space between them. These multi-finned heat-conducting elements 121 are arranged around the vaporization conduit 110. This multi-finned design significantly increases the heat-receiving area of ​​the heat-conducting element, thereby significantly improving the heat conduction efficiency. Furthermore, the spacing between the fins 121 effectively avoids the problem of reduced heat transfer speed due to increased fin thickness.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 The sprinkler is configured as a circulating water supply type sprinkler device; its water storage section 320 is equipped with a dedicated water inlet, allowing external water to smoothly enter the water storage section 320 through this inlet. The sprinkler pipe 310 includes a water supply port 312 and a water outlet 313; the water supply port 312 is located in the water storage section 320 and is connected to the water source in the water storage section 320; driven by the water pump 314, the sprinkler pipe 310 can achieve continuous water supply. The number of water outlets 313 is designed to be multiple, with each water outlet 313 corresponding to a sprinkler head 311, thus achieving a one-to-one correspondence.

[0036] To further improve the performance of the sprayer, the water storage section 320 is also equipped with a heating component 322 (heating tube), which allows the water source in the water storage section 320 to be heated by the heating component 322, thereby providing hot water when needed to meet the usage requirements of heating the fins 121.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 In the water storage section 320, water is pumped into the spray pipes 310 by a water pump 314. Several nozzles 311 are installed in these spray pipes 310, which discharge the water from the pipes and spray it onto designated areas of the vaporizer 100. During spraying, the water flows through the fins 121 of the heat-conducting element and then collects back into the water storage section 320 via the guide plate 331, thus forming a complete water circulation path.

[0038] Furthermore, the nozzles 311 are configured as scattering nozzles 311, which can exhibit a scattering state during the spraying process. This scattering state helps to increase the area of ​​the heat-conducting component receiving the spray, thereby improving the cooling efficiency and heat transfer efficiency of the system, and enhancing uniformity. In this way, the heat-conducting component can more effectively transfer heat to the vaporization pipe 110, thereby achieving a more efficient vaporization operation.

[0039] Furthermore, to ensure the stability and reliability of the system, several fins 121 are fixed by mounting brackets 200. The design of the mounting brackets 200 allows the fins 121 to be firmly fixed in the appropriate position, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the entire system. This fixing method not only ensures the stability of the fins 121 during operation but also facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement. Through this structural design, the system can better perform its heat dissipation and cooling functions, ensuring the efficient operation of the entire equipment.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] Please see Figure 4 This embodiment proposes an air-temperature vaporizer structure. In Embodiment 1, the water storage section 320 is located beside the vaporizer 100, which results in the steam generated by the water storage section 320 during heating not being fully utilized. More specifically, this design prevents the steam generated during heating from being effectively recovered and utilized, thereby reducing the overall thermal efficiency.

[0042] Furthermore, to overcome the aforementioned problems, the water storage tank is directly located at the bottom of the vaporizer 100. This design makes the heating process more efficient and energy-saving. When the water storage section 320 needs to be heated, it can be heated not only using the spray pipe 310 but also by utilizing the steam generated during the heating process. The heated water can be directly recycled and reinjected into the water storage tank, thereby achieving water resource recycling.

[0043] In this design, the area of ​​the water storage tank is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the vaporizer 100. This allows for easier arrangement of the spray pipes 310, ensuring efficient and uniform heating. Furthermore, the larger water storage tank area provides a greater heat exchange area, further improving thermal efficiency. This design not only fully utilizes the steam generated during heating but also effectively recovers and utilizes water resources, thus achieving energy conservation and environmental protection goals.

[0044] Example 3

[0045] Please see Figure 1This embodiment proposes an air-temperature vaporizer structure. In Embodiment 1, we noted that the nozzles 311 of the spray pipe 310 are specifically positioned at the top of the vaporizer 100. While this design effectively sprays the top of the vaporizer 100, it presents a significant problem. Because the nozzles 311 are limited to the top, the sides and lower heat-conducting components of the vaporizer 100 cannot be adequately covered by the spray. This uneven spraying results in some areas being sprayed while others remain completely unsprayed. Over time, during prolonged operation, the heat-conducting components, operating in different states, cannot receive uniform cooling, leading to stress concentration. This stress concentration generates varying degrees of stress in different parts of the heat-conducting components, potentially causing damage to the fins 121.

[0046] To address this issue, this embodiment proposes an improvement. Specifically, spray pipes 310 are added to the side of the vaporizer 100. These newly added spray pipes 310 ensure coverage of the side area of ​​the vaporizer 100. To further improve the spraying effect, multiple water outlets 313 are spaced apart on the spray pipes 310 on the side of the vaporizer 100. These water outlets 313 are also equipped with diffuser nozzles 311, whose main function is to uniformly spray the lower and middle parts and side areas of the fins 121 of the vaporizer 100. Through this improvement, the spray system can more comprehensively cover all parts of the vaporizer 100, thereby effectively avoiding stress concentration problems caused by uneven spraying. As a result, the service life of the fins 121 is extended, and the overall operating efficiency and reliability of the equipment are significantly improved.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
