Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to NMP recovery equipment technical field especially relates to a kind of NMP efficient recovery's isotherm temperature increasing heat source equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production and manufacturing process of lithium battery, organic solvent with NMP (N-methyl pyrrolidone) is usually coated on battery chip and dried, and battery chip drying procedure generally needs high-temperature hot air of more than 100 DEG C to make organic solvent volatilize to achieve the purpose of drying, in order to avoid air pollution, NMP cannot be directly discharged into the atmosphere, therefore, battery manufacturers need to recycle NMP.

[0003] At present, the equipment for providing hot air for battery chip drying procedure is mostly oil-fired boiler or gas-fired boiler, however, oil-fired boiler or gas-fired boiler not only has huge energy consumption, which leads to the increase of battery production cost, but also may pollute the environment. In addition, some battery manufacturers use cooling tower to recover NMP, however, the water required by cooling tower is extremely large, which also leads to the increase of battery production cost, and cooling tower is prone to freeze-cracking problem under extremely low temperature working condition in winter, which leads to complex operation and maintenance process and high operation and maintenance cost.

[0004] Patent CN218210846U discloses a "Dual-Effect Heat Pump Type NMP Exhaust Gas Multi-Stage Condensation and Recovery Device," comprising a waste heat recovery heat exchanger and first and second heat pump circulation components. The first heat pump circulation component includes a first evaporator, a first throttling valve, a first condenser, and a first compressor connected in a circulation loop. The second heat pump circulation component includes a second evaporator, a second throttling valve, a second condenser, and a second compressor connected in a circulation loop. The waste heat recovery heat exchanger is connected to a coating machine, the first evaporator, the first condenser, and the second condenser; the first evaporator is connected to the second evaporator; and the second evaporator and the second condenser are connected to each other. The waste heat recovery heat exchanger, the first evaporator, and the second evaporator are all connected to an NMP storage tank. The first condenser is connected to the coating machine via an exhaust gas pipeline. This device can achieve both NMP exhaust gas recovery and waste heat recovery. However, the device has the following problems: 1. The NMP exhaust gas generated by the coating machine passes through the waste heat recovery heat exchanger and exchanges heat with the primary heated exhaust gas passing through the second condenser. The heat recovery effect of the waste heat recovery heat exchanger is poor. 2. The exhaust gas passes through the waste heat recovery heat exchanger, the first evaporator, the second evaporator, and the second condenser in sequence, and then returns to the waste heat recovery heat exchanger and the first condenser. The waste heat recovery heat exchanger, the first evaporator, and the second evaporator are located in the lower layer of the device, while the second condenser and the first condenser are located in the upper layer. This complex air duct results in a large amount of energy loss during the exhaust gas circulation process, leading to a low heat exchange efficiency of the entire device. 3. In order to ensure the negative pressure state of the coating machine, some exhaust gas needs to be discharged and treated before being discharged into the atmosphere. That is, zero emission of NMP exhaust gas cannot be achieved solely by this device.

[0028] The isenthalpic temperature increasing mechanism refers to a process of transferring heat to an object through an isenthalpic process to increase the temperature of the object. The isenthalpic process refers to a process in which the system does not do work on the outside world when heated, and the enthalpy of the system increases at the same time. The isenthalpic temperature increasing technology adopts an energy closed cycle, and through starting energy and supplementing operation loss, the energy closed cycle is realized. The air outlet 61 of the NMP efficient recovery isenthalpic temperature increasing heat source equipment is communicated with the air outlet pipeline of the coating machine room, the air inlet 62 is communicated with the air inlet pipeline of the coating machine room, and the energy closed cycle is formed, only a small amount of electric energy is provided to the first temperature increasing module 30, the second temperature increasing module 40 and the third temperature increasing module 50, the waste heat is recycled and utilized, and the high-temperature air is converted into the coating machine room to continue the drying process, and the energy efficiency ratio is high.

After heat absorption of the first evaporator 34 and the second evaporator 44, the temperature of the NMP waste gas decreases twice (about 30 DEG C), and at the same time, the water vapor in the NMP waste gas is condensed, so that most of the NMP dissolved in water is collected into the NMP recovery device 63. Through two times of temperature reduction, the NMP recovery efficiency is high.

The water pan 631 is connected with a liquid storage container 632 arranged outside the device shell 10, so that the more concentrated NMP solution condensed in the liquid storage container 632 can be recycled and utilized, and the manufacturing cost of the enterprise is reduced.
