DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The following is a specific embodiment of the utility model, and the technical scheme of the utility model is further described in combination with the drawings, but the utility model is not limited to these embodiments.

[0016] As Figures 1-3 The utility model provides a kind of wet-process sulfuric acid air heater cooling device, including air heater body 1, air heater body 1 includes shell 101, fan is equipped in the front end of shell 101, the rear side of shell 101 is equipped with air outlet passage 102, flange is equipped on air outlet passage 102, flange is connected with wet-process sulfuric acid device by pipeline, heat exchange pipe 103 is equipped in shell 101, the both sides of shell 101 are equipped with left pipe box 104 and right pipe box 105 respectively, the upper side of left pipe box 104 is connected with steam inlet line 2, three-way valve 3 is equipped on steam inlet line 2, inlet line 4 is installed on the other inlet of three-way valve 3, the lower part of right pipe box 105 is equipped with water outlet line 5, and the outlet end of water outlet line 5 is connected with circulating water pool 6.

[0017] As Figure 1 And 2 As shown in the drawing, by inlet line 4 and three-way valve 3, water is injected into steam inlet line 2 (water is extracted from water source and not used for system circulation, and the temperature is generally in the tens of degrees), and the water enters heat exchange pipe 103 through left pipe box 104, so that the outlet temperature of shell 101 is reduced, and the cooled gas is transported to the wet-process sulfuric acid device along the air outlet passage 102 and the pipeline by the fan, achieving the effect of sulfuric acid condensation. The water after heat exchange in the heat exchange pipe 103 enters the circulating water pool 6 along the water outlet line 5 and can be recycled. The utility model can change the original position of the air heater body 1 through the three-way valve 3 and the inlet line 4, so that the wet-process sulfuric acid device can be heated as a heating device in winter and condensed as a refrigeration device in summer, without the need to increase the load of the fan, thereby meeting the demand of the wet-process sulfuric acid tail gas and achieving the effect of energy saving.

[0018] The steam inlet valve 7 and the adjusting valve 8 are respectively arranged on the steam inlet line 2 and located on the two sides of the three-way valve 3, the inlet valve 9 is arranged on the steam inlet line 2 and located between the left pipe box 104 and the adjusting valve 8, and the water inlet valve 10 is arranged on the inlet line 4.

[0019] As Figure 1 As shown in the drawing, the steam inlet valve 7 is used to control the entry of steam, the water inlet valve 10 is used to control the opening or closing of the inlet line 4, the adjusting valve 8 is used to adjust the flow rate of steam or water, and the inlet valve 9 is used to control the opening or closing of the steam inlet line.

[0020] The water outlet line 5 is provided with a trap 12, and the trap 12 is provided with a condensate inlet valve 11 and a condensate outlet valve 13 on both sides. The water outlet line 5 is also provided with a condensate outlet valve 14.

[0021] As Figure 1As shown, the condensate in the pipe can be continuously discharged to the outside of the pipe through the steam trap 12, thereby achieving the purpose of steam blocking and drainage. The condensate inlet valve 11 and the condensate outlet valve 13 can control the working status of the steam trap and maintain its normal operation. The condensate bypass valve 14 is used to regulate the flow path of the condensate. When the steam trap malfunctions or needs maintenance, it provides a backup drainage channel to ensure the normal operation of the system.

[0022] The heat exchange tubes 103 are arranged in two sets in an alternating manner. Several sets of guide plates 106 are provided between the two sets of heat exchange tubes 103 inside the shell 101. A guide section is formed between two adjacent sets of guide plates 106. The guide section includes a first guide channel 107 and a second guide channel 108 connected to the first guide channel 107. Air enters the first guide channel 107 from the front heat exchange tube 103 and goes around to the back of the front heat exchange tube 103 before entering the second guide channel 108. Air enters the second guide channel 108 and goes around to the back of the rear heat exchange tube 103 before entering the air outlet channel 102.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, in existing air heaters, when air passes through the heating tube 103, the flowing air has difficulty quickly carrying away the heat from the back of the heating tube 103, resulting in poor heating effect. In this embodiment, to improve the heating or cooling effect, a guide section is added inside the housing 101 to reduce the residence time of the air inside the housing 101 and to make the flowing air contact the back of the heating tube 103, facilitating the removal of heat or cold from the back of the heating tube 103, thereby improving the heating or cooling effect; the fan blows the air, and the flowing air first enters the first guide channel 10 from the front of the heat exchange tube 103. Within the first guide channel 107, as air enters, it comes into full contact with the outer wall of the front heating tube 103, and then enters the second guide channel 108. In the second guide channel 108, the flowing air comes into full contact with the outer wall of the rear heating tube 103. This allows the air to fully contact the outer wall of the heating tube 103, facilitating the removal of heat or cold from the heating tube 103 and increasing the heating or cooling effect. The first guide channel 107 and the second guide channel 108 can prevent air from passing through the housing 101 too quickly, increasing the residence time of the air in the housing 101 and further improving the heating or cooling effect.

[0024] The second flow channel 108 has an arc-shaped structure.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the arc-shaped second flow channel 108 can reduce the distance between the second flow channel 108 and the back of the rear heat exchange tube 103 when air enters the second flow channel 108, thereby improving the contact effect.

[0026] Principle of use: in summer, when the air heater body 1 is cooled, open the water inlet valve 10, the inlet valve 9 and the trap 12, close the steam inlet valve 7, and send the primary water to the steam inlet pipeline 2 through the water inlet pipeline 4, the primary water enters the left tank 104 along the steam inlet pipeline 2 and then enters the heating pipe 103, and the shell 101 is cooled, the fan is started, the fan blows the air flow, the flowing air first enters the first flow guide channel 107 from the front side of the heat exchange pipe 103, in the process of entering the first flow guide channel 107, the air will fully contact with the outer wall of the front side heating pipe 103, and then enters the second flow guide channel 108, in the second flow guide channel 108, the flowing air will fully contact with the outer wall of the rear side heating pipe 103, and the cold energy on the heating pipe 103 is taken away, gathered in the air outlet channel 102, so that the temperature at the outlet of the air heater body 1 is reduced, and is sent to the wet sulfuric acid device through the pipeline to condense, the primary water in the heating pipe 103 is sent to the right tank 105 after doing work in the shell 101, and is discharged into the water circulation pool 6 through the water outlet pipeline 5, and the water in the water circulation pool 6 can be reused.

[0027] In winter, open the steam inlet valve 7, the inlet valve 9 and the trap 12, close the water inlet valve 10, inject water vapor into the steam inlet pipeline 2, and the water vapor enters the heating pipe 103 to heat the shell 101, and the steps for the wet sulfuric acid device are the same as the cooling steps, which are not repeated here, the heat is sent to the wet sulfuric acid device by the fan to heat, and the sulfuric acid tail gas outlet temperature is ensured to meet the standard.

[0028] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present application. Those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or use similar ways instead, but will not deviate from the spirit of the present application or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
