[0021] Example

[0022] like Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of an embodiment of the VOCs treatment device of the present invention. The present invention provides a VOCs treatment device, including a diesel tank 1, a cooling assembly 4, an activated carbon adsorption system 6, and an exhaust gas chimney 8 connected in sequence. The top of the diesel tank 1 is provided with a diesel exhaust gas outlet 13 and a flame arrester 2. The outlet of the flame arrester 2 is connected to the cooling assembly 4 through a fan 3. The cooling assembly 4 includes a general refrigeration unit 41 and a cryogenic unit 44, which are connected in series. The fan 3 guides the diesel exhaust gas sequentially through the general refrigeration unit 41 to the cryogenic unit 44 for condensation and then out. A precooler 42 is provided on the general refrigeration unit 41, and a cryogenic unit 45 is provided on the cryogenic unit 44. The precooler 42 is connected to the general refrigeration unit 41, and the cryogenic unit 45 is connected to the cryogenic unit 44. The cooling medium of the precooler 42 is chilled water 43, and the cooling medium of the cryogenic unit 45 is refrigerant 46. The diesel exhaust gas first flows through the general refrigeration unit 41, where it is initially cooled to 3-5°C to reduce the load at the downstream end. Then, it flows through the cryogenic unit 44, where it is condensed to -35°C. The cryogenic unit 45 adopts an indirect heat exchange method, where the refrigerant condenses the refrigerant 46, and the refrigerant 46 then condenses the diesel exhaust gas, so that most of the diesel components in the diesel exhaust gas are converted into liquid diesel for recovery. At the same time, both the precooler 42 and the cryogenic unit 45 adopt detachable flange connections for easy disassembly. A liquid diesel recovery device 5 is provided at the output end of the cooling component 4, and an inlet 14 connected to the liquid diesel recovery device 5 is provided at the bottom of the diesel tank 1. The inlet 14 of the diesel tank 1 is connected to the liquid diesel recovery device 5 through a liquefied diesel pipeline 12. The liquid diesel recovery device 5 is provided with a solvent storage tank 51 for recovering liquid diesel. A level gauge 52 is provided on the side of the solvent storage tank 51 near the output end of the cooling component 4, and the other side is connected to the inlet 14 of the diesel tank 1 through a magnetic pump 53. The liquid diesel recovered by the output end of the condensing component is temporarily stored in the solvent storage tank 51. When the liquid level reaches the set value, it is automatically output by the magnetic pump 53, so as to pump the liquid diesel into the diesel tank 1. The cooling component 4 is connected to the activated carbon adsorption system 6 via a diesel gas pipeline 11. The activated carbon adsorption system 6 includes two activated carbon canisters 61 connected in parallel. Activated carbon is installed inside the activated carbon canisters 61. After the low-concentration diesel exhaust gas is condensed by the cooling component 4, it enters the activated carbon adsorption system 6 and is adsorbed by the activated carbon. When one activated carbon canister 61 is close to saturation, it can be switched to the other activated carbon canister 61 to continue adsorption, ensuring the continuity of diesel exhaust gas adsorption. Since the output end of the activated carbon adsorption system 6 is connected to the exhaust gas chimney 8, the qualified exhaust gas is discharged through the exhaust gas chimney 8.Furthermore, a nitrogen pipeline 7 is installed at the top, and an explosion-proof electric heater 71 is installed at the connection between the nitrogen pipeline 7 and the activated carbon adsorption system 6 to heat the nitrogen in the nitrogen pipeline 7. The heated nitrogen is used to purge and desorb the activated carbon in the activated carbon tank 61, thereby achieving desorption and regeneration of the activated carbon inside. The bottom of the activated carbon adsorption system 6 is connected to the input end of the cooling component 4 through a vacuum pump 10, so that the nitrogen-diesel gas mixture 9 is delivered to the input end of the cooling component 4 for secondary condensation. At the same time, after the activated carbon in the activated carbon tank 61 is purged and desorbed, the service life of the activated carbon is extended.

[0023] Working principle: First, diesel exhaust gas passes through flame arrester 2 and enters fan 3, which then sends it to precooler 42. In precooler 42, it is initially cooled to about 3-5℃, and then enters cryogenic cooler 45. Cryogenic cooler 45 uses refrigerant to condense coolant 46, and coolant 46 further condenses the exhaust gas to -35℃, causing most of the diesel components in the diesel exhaust gas to undergo phase change liquefaction and recovery. The recovered liquid diesel is temporarily stored in solvent storage tank 51. When the liquid level reaches the set value, magnetic pump 53 automatically outputs and recovers it into diesel tank 1. After condensation, the low-concentration exhaust gas enters activated carbon adsorption system 6, where the diesel exhaust gas is adsorbed by activated carbon and then discharged through exhaust chimney 8. When one activated carbon canister 61 is close to saturation, it can be switched to another activated carbon canister 61 to continue adsorption, ensuring the continuity of diesel exhaust gas adsorption. At the same time, hot nitrogen gas heated by the explosion-proof electric heater 71 is introduced into the top of the saturated activated carbon canister 61 for purging. The hot nitrogen gas diffuses from the top to the activated carbon bed, removing and replacing hydrocarbons. Vacuum desorption is performed by the vacuum pump 10, and the enriched and concentrated nitrogen-diesel gas mixture 9 is delivered to the inlet of the front-end cooling component 4 for secondary condensation. The activated carbon is desorbed and regenerated by purging with hot nitrogen gas, which extends the service life of the activated carbon adsorbent and ensures that the exhaust gas meets the emission standards.

[0024] Therefore, the present invention has a simple structure. Most of the diesel exhaust gas is condensed and recovered by the cooling component and then adsorbed by the activated carbon adsorption system to ensure that the exhaust gas meets the emission standards. At the same time, the activated carbon in the activated carbon adsorption system that is saturated with adsorption is desorbed and regenerated by purging with hot nitrogen, which effectively improves the service life and reusability of the activated carbon adsorbent.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solution of this utility model, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
