Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of deoxygenation technology, and in particular relates to a hybrid deoxygenation tank. Background Technology

[0002] A deaerator is a device used to remove dissolved oxygen and other harmful gases from liquid media. In the field of boiler feedwater treatment technology, to ensure that the feedwater entering the boiler meets the oxygen content requirements and to prevent boiler oxygen corrosion, deaerators are commonly used to treat the boiler feedwater and remove non-condensable gases such as oxygen. There are many common boiler water deaeration methods, such as thermal deaeration, vacuum deaeration, chemical deaeration, rust deaeration, and electrochemical deaeration. Each deaeration method has its own advantages and disadvantages; therefore, using a hybrid deaeration device that combines multiple deaeration modes can improve the deaeration effect and efficiency. However, existing hybrid deaeration devices are generally complex in structure, have many pipelines, are large in size, and occupy a lot of space. Therefore, developing a deaeration device with good deaeration effect, high efficiency, high integration, and small footprint remains an area for further research. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a hybrid deaerator with high integration, small space occupation, good deaeration effect and high efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0005] A hybrid deaerator includes a tank body with an exhaust port at the top and a drain port at the bottom; it also includes a partition plate that divides the inner cavity of the tank body into an upper deaerator zone 1 and a lower deaerator zone 2, the partition plate having a liquid passage connecting the deaerator zone 1 and the deaerator zone 2; both the deaerator zone 1 and the deaerator zone 2 are provided with vacuum ports;

[0006] The deoxygenation zone is provided with an upper support plate, a lower support plate, a mixing assembly disposed between the upper and lower support plates, a liquid distribution assembly disposed below the upper support plate and suspended above the mixing assembly, and a steam distribution assembly disposed above the lower support plate and suspended below the mixing assembly; the upper and lower support plates are provided with multiple through holes; the sidewall of the deoxygenation zone is provided with a liquid inlet connected to the liquid distribution assembly and a steam inlet connected to the steam distribution assembly;

[0007] The deoxygenation zone II is provided with an upper baffle and a lower baffle that divide the deoxygenation zone into an inlet chamber, an electrochemical reaction chamber, and an outlet chamber in a horizontal direction. The upper end of the upper baffle is fixed to the partition plate, and the liquid passage corresponds to the inlet chamber. A horizontally arranged guide support plate is provided at intervals below the upper baffle, and the lower end of the lower baffle is connected to the guide support plate. The cavity formed between the guide support plate and the bottom of the tank communicates with the outlet chamber. An electrochemical electrode assembly is provided in the electrochemical reaction chamber, and a wiring port for the wires connecting the electrochemical electrode assembly is provided on the side wall of the tank.

[0008] In the deoxygenation zone, thermal deoxygenation technology is mainly used. Water enters through the liquid inlet and flows from top to bottom through the liquid distribution component; steam enters through the steam inlet and flows from bottom to top through the steam distribution component. Water and steam come into full contact in the mixing component, and the steam heats the water to saturation, causing dissolved oxygen in the water to escape and be discharged. This method can remove most of the solvent oxygen and serves as a pretreatment.

[0009] The second deoxygenation zone mainly adopts electrochemical deoxygenation technology. Water pretreated in the first deoxygenation zone enters the inlet chamber and then flows into the electrochemical reaction chamber. After being treated by the electrochemical anode and cathode reaction of the electrochemical electrode group, it flows into the outlet chamber. After completing the deoxygenation operation, it is extracted from the drain port. This method is not affected by the oxygen content in the feed water and can achieve deep deoxygenation.

[0010] The combination of deoxygenation zone one and deoxygenation zone two can effectively improve the deoxygenation effect. Furthermore, through structural optimization design, the deoxygenation efficiency can be improved. At the same time, through reasonable structural design, deoxygenation zone one and deoxygenation zone two are built in the same tank, which meets the requirements of high integration and small footprint.

[0011] Furthermore, the liquid receiving end of the liquid passage is a conical structure with the wide opening facing upwards.

[0012] Furthermore, a vapor-water separation assembly is provided in the cavity between the upper support plate and the top of the tank. The vapor-water separation assembly includes multiple separation nets arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction, a separation liquid collection annular groove located below the separation nets, and a drainage pipe with one end connected to the inner cavity of the separation liquid collection annular groove. The separation nets are conical structures with the cone angle pointing upwards, and their lower edge is connected to the inner wall of the tank. The separation liquid collection annular groove is fixed to the inner wall of the tank and is located below the lower edge of the separation nets. The other end of the drainage pipe passes through the upper support plate and extends into the area between the upper support plate and the lower support plate.

[0013] The rising gas contains a large amount of water vapor. The gas is separated by the separation net. The gas exits through the exhaust port, while the liquid is intercepted and drips down. Most of the intercepted liquid flows along the separation net, collects at the bottom edge of the separation net, and drips into the separation liquid collection ring groove. Then, it is guided back to the area between the upper and lower support plates by the guide pipe.

[0014] Furthermore, there are multiple mixing components, evenly distributed between the upper support plate and the lower support plate; each mixing component includes a mounting base disposed on the upper support plate and the lower support plate, a rotating shaft with both ends rotatably connected to the mounting base, and a spiral blade disposed on the rotating shaft.

[0015] The spiral blades rotate under the impact of water and water vapor, which mixes and stirs the mixture, allowing the water and water vapor to come into full contact and enabling the water to escape more efficiently.

[0016] Furthermore, the spiral blade has multiple holes.

[0017] Water and water vapor can pass through the holes.

[0018] Furthermore, the liquid distribution assembly includes multiple annular tubes suspended above the spiral blades and arranged concentrically, a connecting pipe connecting each annular tube, and a connecting pipe connecting the annular tube and the liquid inlet; the lower end face of the annular tube has multiple liquid outlet holes evenly distributed.

[0019] Water is fed into each ring pipe through the liquid inlet and then flows out evenly through the ring pipe.

[0020] Furthermore, the steam distribution assembly includes multiple concentrically arranged annular pipes II suspended below the spiral blades, a connecting pipe II connecting each of the annular pipes II, and a connecting pipe II connecting the annular pipes II and the steam inlet; the lower end face of the annular pipes II has multiple steam outlet holes evenly distributed.

[0021] Steam is fed into each of the two ring pipes through the steam inlet, and then flows out evenly from the two ring pipes.

[0022] Furthermore, the bottom height of the upper baffle is lower than the bottom height of the electrochemical electrode assembly, and the top height of the lower baffle is higher than the top height of the electrochemical electrode assembly.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the hybrid deaerator of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0024] The hybrid deaerator described in this utility model uses a combination of deaeration zone one and deaeration zone two for deaeration, resulting in good deaeration effect. Through the reasonable structural design of deaeration zone one, water and steam have sufficient contact time, allowing dissolved oxygen in the water to escape more effectively, resulting in high deaeration efficiency. Deaeration zone one and deaeration zone two are integrated into the same tank, resulting in a high degree of integration and a small footprint. Attached Figure Description
