[0029] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5The steam heater for molecular sieve regeneration shown includes a sealed box 1. Two sets of side plates 2 are installed on the outside of the sealed box 1, symmetrically distributed. An inlet pipe 3 is connected through one side of one set of side plates 2, and an outlet pipe 4 is connected through one side of the other set. A double-serpentine steam pipe 6 is installed inside the sealed box 1. Multiple sets of flow-blocking inner plates 9 are fixedly connected inside the sealed box 1, arranged in an alternating pattern. Arc-shaped guide pipes 11 are fixedly connected to the outside of both sets of side plates 2. Side plate slots 12 are provided on the outer side of the side plate 2 of the housing. One side of each set of flow-blocking inner plates 9 is fixedly connected to a flow-blocking side plate 13. A motor base 14 is installed on the top of each set of flow-blocking inner plates 9. A drive motor 15 is installed inside the motor base 14. A drive shaft 17 is installed at the top of the output shaft of the drive motor 15. Multiple sets of fan blades 18 are installed on the outer side of the drive shaft 17. The multiple sets of fan blades 18 are linearly distributed on the outer side of the drive shaft 17. Multiple sets of fan blades 19 are installed on the outer side of the fan blades 18. The multiple sets of fan blades 19 are annularly distributed on the outer side of the fan blades 18.
[0030] The device consists of a sealed box 1 and two sets of side plates 2. The gas to be heated is injected through the inlet pipe 3, and the heated gas is discharged through the outlet pipe 4. The double serpentine steam pipe 6 serves as a steam guide pipe; its serpentine structure significantly increases the contact area with the gas inside the box and also increases the residence time of the steam within the box. The multiple sets of flow-blocking inner plates 9 further increase the residence time of the gas to be heated within the box, thereby greatly improving the heat exchange effect of the heater. The arc-shaped guide pipe 11 is a blower unit. This unit receives air through the side plate slot 12, and the flow is blocked by the flow-blocking side plate 13 in conjunction with the multiple sets of flow-blocking inner plates 9. The drive motor 15 drives the fan blades 19 on the drive shaft 17 to rotate, thereby blowing air and improving the flow efficiency of the gas to be heated within the box, preventing gas accumulation and uneven heating.
[0031] The sealed box 1 has two sets of support seats 5 installed inside, and the two sets of support seats 5 are symmetrically distributed inside the sealed box 1.
[0032] Among them, the use of two sets of support seats 5 provides support for the double serpentine steam pipe 6, ensuring its stability during use.
[0033] The interior of the double serpentine steam pipe 6 is provided with a serpentine guide cavity 7.
[0034] The opening of the serpentine flow guide cavity 7 connects the double serpentine steam pipes 6, which greatly increases the residence time of steam in the box, thereby improving the heat exchange time and heat exchange efficiency of the steam.
[0035] Multiple sets of heat exchange fins 8 are installed on the outer wall of the double serpentine steam pipe 6, and the multiple sets of heat exchange fins 8 are linearly distributed on the outer wall of the double serpentine steam pipe 6.
[0036] The use of multiple sets of heat exchange fins 8 greatly increases the contact range between the double serpentine steam pipe 6 and the gas inside the box, thereby further improving the heat exchange effect of the steam.
[0037] Multiple sets of flow-blocking inner plates 9 form multiple sets of flow-guiding grooves 10 between the inner wall of the sealing box 1 and the multiple sets of flow-guiding grooves 10 are staggered inside the sealing box 1.
[0038] The formation of multiple sets of flow channels 10 divides the space inside the box, thereby creating intersecting channels within the box, which prolongs the residence time of the gas inside the box and further improves the heat exchange efficiency.
[0039] The top of the drive motor 15 is threaded with two sets of mounting bolts 16, which are symmetrically distributed on the top of the drive motor 15.
[0040] Two sets of mounting bolts 16 can be threaded into the threaded holes on the motor base 14 to install the drive motor 15, making it easy for users to install and disassemble it.
[0041] A structural bearing 20 is mounted on the outer side of the drive shaft 17.
[0042] The structural bearing 20 provides support for the drive shaft 17, ensuring its stability during rotation, and the multiple sets of balls inside the bearing can effectively improve the rotational response efficiency of the shaft.
[0043] Working principle: The user injects steam and the gas to be heated into the chamber through the double serpentine steam pipe 6 and the air inlet pipe 3. There are two sets of drive motors 15 channels. The multiple sets of flow-blocking inner plates 9 in the chamber greatly increase the residence time of the gas to be heated in the chamber. The serpentine structure of the double serpentine steam pipe 6 greatly increases the contact area with the gas in the chamber. At the same time, it can increase the residence time of steam in the chamber. The gas to be heated moves upward through the guide groove 10 formed by the multiple sets of flow-blocking inner plates 9 and the inner wall of the sealed chamber 1. During the movement, the heat of the steam exchanges with the gas in the chamber through the double serpentine steam pipe 6 and the heat exchange fins 8. After heat exchange, it is discharged from the air outlet pipe 4, thereby realizing the heating function of the heater.
[0044] When the drive motor 15 is started, it will rotate the fan blades 19 on the fan blade disk 18 on the drive shaft 17, thereby blowing air and improving the flow efficiency of the gas to be heated in the box, avoiding the accumulation of gas in the box and uneven heating, thus realizing the high-efficiency heating function of the steam heater for molecular sieve regeneration.
[0045] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application 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 of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
