Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas drying, specifically relates to zero gas consumption single tower adsorption type drying machine with heat recovery function. BACKGROUND

[0002] Adsorption type drying machine is widely used in the drying of compressed gas. In order to reduce the dew point of gas, the drying agent needs to be regenerated in time. For example Figure 1 As shown in the prior art zero gas consumption single tower adsorption type drying machine schematic diagram, the adsorption tower 1' is divided into drying area and regeneration area. The driving device drives the adsorption tower 1' to rotate, and the drying agent in the drying area is moved to the regeneration area for regeneration. The dried drying agent is sent back to the drying area for drying of the wet hot gas. The regeneration of the drying agent in the regeneration area is usually by introducing part of the gas dried by the drying area into the regeneration area, and these dried drying gases regenerate the drying agent in the regeneration area.

[0003] To optimize the gas recovery process after regeneration and realize zero gas consumption, these regenerated gases need to be introduced into the drying area for drying treatment again, because the regenerated gases contain a large amount of moisture. The adsorption tower 1' in the prior art adopts the axial gas flow mode, and the gas encounters a larger resistance when passing through the drying agent, thereby generating a significant pressure drop. At the same time, the wet hot gas provided by the air compressor 2' usually has a relatively high pressure, while the pressure of the gas in the regeneration area is relatively low due to the pressure drop, and the pressure difference causes the gas in the regeneration area to be unable to effectively mix with the wet hot gas of the air compressor 2' and enter the adsorption tower 1', thereby affecting the flow and circulation of the gas and affecting the regeneration of the drying agent and reducing the overall performance of the drying machine.

[0004] In order to reduce the resistance caused by the drying agent and reduce the pressure drop of the gas, a drying agent with a smaller resistance coefficient is usually selected, such as a honeycomb drying agent, but this increases the use cost of the drying machine. In addition, an ejector 3' can also be arranged in the system to improve the mixing process of the regenerated gas and the wet hot gas. The working principle of the ejector 3' is similar to that of a Venturi tube, the wet hot gas is injected at high speed through the ejector 3', a negative pressure is generated, thereby sucking in the regenerated gas, and the two are mixed and then sent into the adsorption tower 1'. Although the ejector 3' can effectively solve the problem of the integration of the regenerated gas in most cases, when the gas pressure of the air compressor 2' is low, the negative pressure generated by the ejector 3' is still insufficient to completely suck in the regenerated gas, resulting in poor circulation of the system and affecting the regeneration of the drying agent and the overall performance of the drying machine. At the same time, it still needs a drying agent with a smaller resistance coefficient, and the problem of high use cost has not been solved.

[0005] In addition, the wet air introduced from the air compressor is usually high in temperature. In order to reduce the temperature of the wet air and remove the moisture, a cooler is usually arranged before the wet air enters the adsorption tower for drying to cool and remove the moisture of the input wet air. This process can effectively reduce the drying burden of the adsorption tower and remove the moisture in the wet air. At the same time, in order to improve the drying and regeneration capacity of the dry air to the drying agent in the adsorption tower, a heating device is usually arranged to heat the dry air. However, the cooler will cause heat loss in the cooling process, resulting in energy waste. Therefore, how to effectively recover the heat lost by the cooler and use it to heat the dry air is a problem to be solved. Practical new type content

[0017] The utility model at least has following beneficial effects:

[0018] It sets up the plate heat exchanger in the eighth pipe way of introducing dry air, carries out heat exchange with the high temperature wet air of the first pipe way input, heats the regenerated dry air, improves the regeneration capacity, and effectively carries out heat recovery, reduces energy loss; simultaneously, the adsorption tower of the utility model is provided with the outer cylinder, the inner cylinder is rotatably arranged in the outer cylinder, the core pipe is arranged in the inner cylinder, a plurality of partition plates are evenly distributed along the radial direction between the core pipe and the inner cylinder, the inner part of the inner cylinder is separated into a plurality of placement rooms with the central angle of β for placing the drying agent, the adjacent preset number of placement rooms are the regeneration area with the central angle of α, and the rest of the placement rooms are the drying area. The airflow pipe is placed in the core pipe, the first pipe way partition plate and the second pipe way partition plate are arranged in the airflow pipe along the central angle α line direction of the regeneration area, the first pipe way partition plate and the second pipe way partition plate separate the inner part of the airflow pipe into the first lumen and the second lumen with the central angle of α, the dry wet air is input from the first lumen, and the regenerated dry air is input from the second lumen. The first sealing strip and the second sealing strip are arranged on the inner wall of the outer cylinder along the central angle α line direction of the regeneration area, and the first sealing strip and the second sealing strip separate the second airflow room into the regeneration airflow output room and the drying airflow output room with the central angle of α.

The setting makes the gas of the adsorption tower of the drying machine of the utility model flow along the radial direction, which is beneficial to reduce the pressure drop. The driving device drives the inner cylinder to rotate by β degrees, and the inner cylinder rotates by β degrees, that is, the position of one placement room, the saturated placement room in the drying area is rotated to the regeneration area to regenerate the drying agent, and the regenerated placement room in the regeneration area is rotated to the drying area to perform the adsorption operation of the regenerated drying agent. Compared with the axial gas flow mode of the adsorption tower of the prior art drying machine, the gas of the adsorption tower of the drying machine of the utility model flows along the radial direction, which is beneficial to reduce the pressure drop. Figure 23 As shown in the principle schematic diagram of the adsorption tower of the prior art drying machine, hereinafter referred to as "shaft", Figure 24The figure is a schematic diagram of the adsorption tower of the drying machine of the present application, hereinafter referred to as "Diameter", according to the pressure drop equation Darcy formula:

[0019]

[0020] Where Δp is the pressure drop of the gas through the pipeline; λ is the frictional resistance coefficient along the path; ρ is the velocity of the gas; v is the average velocity of the gas; h is the length of the pipeline; s is the cross-sectional area of the pipeline.

[0021] The frictional resistance coefficient along the path λ is related to the Reynolds number Re and the relative roughness of the pipe wall That is,

[0022] Under the same pipeline conditions, it can be assumed that λ is constant when the gas flows in the pipeline. In the above case, the difference between the axial flow and the radial flow of the gas is analyzed.

[0023] I. According to formula (1.1), the pressure drop generated by the axial flow of the gas is:

[0024]

[0025] Where H 轴 is the height of the adsorption tower; α is the central angle of the regeneration zone; R 轴 is the radius of the adsorption tower when the gas flows axially. As can be seen, in the axial flow mode, to reduce the pressure drop, only H 轴 can be reduced, or R 轴 can be increased, which results in the actual product being flattened, the floor area being increased, and the productization being difficult.

[0026] II. According to formula (1.1), the pressure drop generated by the radial flow of the gas is:

[0027]

[0028] Further arrangement of formula (1.3) can obtain:

[0029]

[0030] Where H 径 is the height of the adsorption tower; R1 is the outer diameter of the first gas flow chamber; R2 is the inner diameter of the second gas flow chamber; α is the central angle of the regeneration zone. As can be seen, in the radial flow mode, to reduce the pressure drop, only H 径 needs to be increased when R1 and R2 are constant. The increase of H 径 will not increase the floor area, which is easy to productize. Meanwhile, the increase of H 径 will also increase the volume of the placement chamber, which can effectively solve the decrease of the drying capacity caused by the decrease of the desiccant capacity when the axial flow is changed to the radial flow.

[0031] At the same time, compared with the axial flow mode in the prior art, the radial flow mode of the present application greatly increases the contact area of the gas and the desiccant, and the contact time is relatively short. This optimized gas flow design significantly improves the contact efficiency of the gas and the desiccant, thereby greatly improving the adsorption efficiency of the desiccant.

[0032] Therefore, the zero-gas-consumption double-tower adsorption dryer with heat recovery function has the advantages of low pressure drop, low use cost, smooth system operation, etc. At the same time, it has the advantages of improving the adsorption efficiency of the desiccant, effectively recovering heat, and reducing energy consumption.

[0076] When the desiccant in the placing room 28 of the drying zone near the regenerating zone is saturated, or the desiccant in the placing room 28 of the regenerating zone near the drying zone is fully regenerated, the first pneumatic valve 29, the second pneumatic valve 30, the third pneumatic valve 31 and the fourth pneumatic valve 32 are closed, the motor 10 is started to drive the inner cylinder 8 to rotate β°, i.e. the position of one placing room 28, at this time the placing room 28 of the drying zone with saturated desiccant is turned to the regenerating zone, and the placing room 28 of the regenerating zone with fully regenerated desiccant is turned to the drying zone; then the first pneumatic valve 29, the second pneumatic valve 30, the third pneumatic valve 31 and the fourth pneumatic valve 32 are opened, and the drying and regenerating operations are continuously performed, and the work is repeated in this way.
