[0040] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a novel refrigeration system for wastewater treatment includes an inlet tank 1, a precooling heat exchanger 2, a water pump 3, a crystallizing tank 4, a refrigeration heat exchanger 5, a circulating pump 6, and a centrifuge 7; wherein:
[0041] Inlet tank 1 is used to store concentrated wastewater solution;
[0042] The precooling heat exchanger 2 is used to precool the concentrated wastewater in the inlet tank 1. The outlet of the inlet tank 1 is connected to the inlet of the precooling heat exchanger 2, and the outlet of the precooling heat exchanger 2 is connected to the inlet of the inlet tank 1.
[0043] Water pump 3 is used to send the concentrated wastewater in the inlet tank 1 into the crystallization tank 4;
[0044] Crystallization tank 4 is used to extract salts from concentrated wastewater and to precipitate and divert them.
[0045] Refrigeration heat exchanger 5 is used to cool down the concentrated wastewater in crystallizer 4;
[0046] A circulating pump 6 is used to circulate the wastewater concentrate between the crystallization tank 4 and the refrigeration heat exchanger 5. The inlet of the circulating pump 6 is connected to the outlet of the crystallization tank 4, the outlet of the circulating pump 6 is connected to the inlet of the refrigeration heat exchanger 5, and the outlet of the refrigeration heat exchanger 5 is connected to the inlet of the crystallization tank 4.
[0047] Centrifuge 7 is used to perform solid-liquid separation on the high-salt wastewater concentrate at the bottom of crystallization tank 4. The inlet of centrifuge 7 is connected to the concentrate outlet at the bottom of crystallization tank 4.
[0048] In this invention, the concentrated wastewater first enters the inlet tank, where it is pre-cooled by a heat exchanger, initially lowering its temperature. Then, a water pump pumps the concentrated wastewater into a crystallization tank, where a circulation pump sends it to a refrigeration heat exchanger for further cooling. The cooled wastewater then flows back to the crystallization tank, and this cycle continues until the temperature is lowered to approximately -5°C. This further precipitates the salts in the concentrated wastewater. The precipitated salts are then separated in the crystallization tank; the clearer liquid at the top overflows through an overflow pipe, while the lower portion, with higher salt content, is pumped to a centrifuge for solid-liquid separation. This method results in relatively high wastewater treatment efficiency and a relatively good treatment effect.
[0049] The inlet tank 1 described in this invention includes an inlet tank body 101. A first stirring shaft 102 is provided inside the inlet tank body 101. The upper end of the first stirring shaft 102 is connected to a first stirring motor 103 located at the upper end of the inlet tank body 101. A plurality of first stirring elements 104 are spaced apart on the first stirring shaft 102. In this invention, the first stirring motor 103 drives the first stirring elements 104 to rotate, which allows the wastewater concentrate to be stirred in the inlet tank body 101. This enables the wastewater concentrate that has been pre-cooled by the pre-cooling heat exchanger 2 and flows back into the inlet tank 1 to be quickly mixed with the wastewater concentrate originally stored in the inlet tank 1, thereby achieving rapid pre-cooling of the entire wastewater concentrate.
[0050] One embodiment of the first stirring element 104 described in this utility model includes stirring rods 1041 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first stirring shaft 102, and stirring blades 1042 arranged on the upper and / or lower sides of the stirring rods 1041. To further improve the stirring effect, adjacent first stirring elements 104 can be arranged perpendicularly. When the first stirring shaft 102 rotates, the perpendicularly arranged first stirring elements 104 can cause the concentrated wastewater inside the inlet tank 101 to be stirred in different directions, thereby making the stirring more thorough.
[0051] This invention features a first outlet pipe 8 at the lower part of the inlet tank 1, which is connected to the inlet end of a feed pump 9. The outlet end of the feed pump 9 is connected to the inlet end of the precooling heat exchanger 2. In this invention, the feed pump 9 can send the concentrated wastewater from the inlet tank 1 into the precooling heat exchanger 2 for precooling. The precooled concentrated wastewater is then returned to the inlet tank 1 from the outlet end of the precooling heat exchanger 2. This invention allows for one precooling cycle or multiple precooling cycles.
[0052] The crystallization tank 4 of this utility model includes a base 41, a crystallization tank body 42 mounted on the base 41, an overflow pipe 43 at the upper part of the crystallization tank body 42, a second stirring shaft 44 inside the crystallization tank body 42, the second stirring shaft 44 being connected to a second stirring motor 45 mounted at the upper end of the crystallization tank body 42, a second stirring element 46 at the lower end of the second stirring shaft 44, a water inlet pipe 47 and a second water outlet pipe 48 at the upper part of the crystallization tank body 42, and a third water outlet pipe 415 at the lower part of the crystallization tank body 42, the third water outlet pipe 415 being connected to the inlet end of a concentrate pump, and the outlet end of the concentrate pump being connected to the feed end of a centrifuge 7.
[0053] In this invention, the wastewater concentrate is cooled by an external refrigeration heat exchanger. Due to the lower temperature, some of the salt in the liquid precipitates out, and the salt settles and concentrates in the crystallization tank due to gravity, increasing the salt concentration. The concentrated liquid is then pumped away by a bottom concentrate pump to proceed to the next process. An overflow pipe 43 is located at the top of the crystallization tank, through which the supernatant flows by gravity to the next process. To prevent salt from accumulating and clumping at the bottom, a second agitator 46 slowly stirs the bottom, making it easier for the concentrate pump to remove it.
[0054] In this invention, a plurality of reinforcing rings 413 are spaced apart on the outer wall of the crystallization tank body 42. The reinforcing rings 413 can effectively increase the overall strength of the crystallization tank body 42.
[0055] In this invention, an annular step 49 is provided inside the crystallization tank body 42, and an annular baffle 410 is provided on the inner side of the annular step 49. The annular step 49, the annular baffle 410, and the crystallization tank body 42 together form an overflow channel, and the overflow pipe 43 is connected to the overflow channel. Annular teeth 411 are provided at the upper end of the annular baffle 410. In this invention, the supernatant slowly flows into the overflow channel from between the teeth of the annular teeth 411, and then is discharged from the overflow pipe 43. This effectively reduces the carryover of liquids with high salinity or other impurities.
[0056] In this invention, a central sleeve 10 is provided inside the upper part of the crystallization tank body 42. The second stirring shaft 44 is disposed in the central sleeve 10, and a flow guiding channel is formed between the inner wall of the central sleeve 10 and the outer wall of the second stirring shaft 44. The lower end of the central sleeve 10 extends into the lower part of the crystallization tank body 42, and the second water outlet pipe 48 is connected to the middle part of the central sleeve 10. In this invention, a funnel-shaped opening is provided in the central sleeve 10. The lower outer wall of the central sleeve 10 is connected to the inner wall of the crystallization tank body 42 by a bracket 414, and the central sleeve 10 is disposed inside the upper end of the crystallization tank body 42 by a mounting bracket. In this invention, the central sleeve 10 effectively prevents the liquid in the upper part of the crystallization tank body 42 from being agitated during the rotation of the second stirring shaft 44, thus providing favorable conditions for the precipitation and concentration of salt in the liquid. The second stirring element 46 slowly stirs the bottom, effectively preventing the salt from accumulating and agglomerating at the bottom, making it easier for the concentrate pump to remove it.
[0057] One embodiment of the second stirring member 46 described in this utility model includes a first stirring crossbar 461 and a second stirring crossbar 462 arranged at intervals from top to bottom on the outer wall of the lower end of the second stirring shaft 44. The length of the first stirring crossbar 461 is greater than the length of the second stirring crossbar 462. A stirring inclined bar 463 is provided between the end of the first stirring crossbar 461 and the end of the second stirring crossbar 462.
[0058] To further improve the mixing effect, stirring blades may also be provided on the stirring slant bar 463 and the first stirring crossbar 461 or / and the second stirring crossbar 462, respectively.
[0059] In this invention, a drain outlet 412 is also provided on the lower outer wall of the crystallization tank body 42. The drain outlet 412 is connected to a drain pipe.
[0060] The refrigeration heat exchanger 5 described in this utility model is connected to the refrigeration unit 11.
[0061] The water inlet tank 1, precooling heat exchanger 2, water pump 3, refrigeration heat exchanger 5, and circulation pump 6 of this utility model are all housed within the first mounting frame 12, while the centrifuge 7 is housed within the second mounting frame 13. This utility model has a simple structure, with the system consisting of a water inlet tank, precooling heat exchanger, water pump, crystallizer, refrigeration heat exchanger, circulation pump, and centrifuge. The modular design divides the entire system into four main parts: ① centrifuge and second mounting frame, ② crystallizer, ③ water inlet tank, precooling heat exchanger, water pump, refrigeration heat exchanger, circulation pump and first mounting frame, and ④ refrigeration unit. The modular design makes transportation more convenient and installation faster, greatly improving on-site deployment and relocation capabilities.
[0062] This invention provides a collection hopper 14 located below the discharge port of the centrifuge 7. The collection hopper 14 facilitates the collection of waste residue generated by the centrifuge 7.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
