[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a caustic soda concentration device for chlor-alkali production.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a caustic soda concentration device for chlor-alkali production, including an outer tank, a frame fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer tank, a motor fixedly installed at the top of the outer tank, a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, an inner tank fixedly connected inside the outer tank, a heating module provided at the bottom of the inner tank, an inlet provided on the outer tank, a water inlet provided on one side of the outer tank's outer wall, a drain pipe provided at the bottom of the outer tank, a heat-insulating part provided inside the outer tank, and a steam utilization component provided inside the outer tank.

[0026] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Example
[0027] like Figures 1-3 The caustic soda concentration equipment for chlor-alkali production shown includes an outer tank 2, a frame 1 fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer tank 2, a motor 4 fixedly installed at the top of the outer tank 2, a rotating shaft 22 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 4, and uniformly distributed stirring blades 15 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 22. An inner tank 21 is fixedly connected inside the outer tank 2, a heating module 20 is provided at the bottom of the inner tank 21, an inlet 3 is provided on the outer tank 2, a water inlet 5 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the outer tank 2, and a drain is provided at the bottom of the outer tank 2. The water pipe 12 has a heat-insulating part inside the outer tank 2 and a steam utilization component inside the outer tank 2. The heat-insulating part is used to prevent water vapor from escaping quickly and to maintain the temperature inside the outer tank 2. The heat-insulating part includes several partitions 16 fixedly connected between the outer tank 2 and the inner tank 21. The partitions 16 have symmetrically distributed exchange holes 17. A uniformly distributed heat-conducting plate 18 is fixedly connected between two exchange holes 17. The heat-conducting plate 18 has a through hole. A connecting mesh cover 19 is fixedly connected inside the through hole.
[0028] When motor 4 starts running, it provides stable power to the rotating shaft 22. The stirring blade 15 rotates synchronously under the drive of motor 4. The caustic soda solution inside the tank is thoroughly and evenly mixed under the strong stirring action of the stirring blade 15, effectively avoiding concentration differences caused by insufficient mixing in certain areas. This allows the heat generated by the heating module 20 at the bottom of the inner tank 21 to be evenly and quickly transferred to the entire solution system with the assistance of the stirring blade 15. The motor 4, fixedly installed on the top of the outer tank 2, is positioned to facilitate installation, debugging, and routine maintenance. At the same time, operators can easily approach and operate the equipment. The placement of the inlet 3 on the outer tank 2, the water inlet 5 on one side of the outer wall, and the drain pipe 12 at the bottom has been carefully considered, fully taking into account the actual production operation process and habits. Operators can easily add the required raw materials through the inlet 3 and add an appropriate amount of water through the water inlet 5. After the caustic soda concentration is completed, the water in the outer tank 2 can be quickly and smoothly drained through the drain pipe 12 at the bottom. The multi-layer baffles 16 are tightly and firmly fixed between the outer tank 2 and the inner tank 21. These baffles 16 6. The space inside the outer tank 2 is meticulously divided into layers. The upper and lower spaces of the outer tank 2, as well as the spaces between the partitions 16, allow limited gas exchange only through carefully designed exchange holes 17. This design greatly hinders the rapid flow of water vapor inside the outer tank 2, thus effectively reducing the rapid loss of water vapor. Furthermore, heat-conducting plates 18 are installed between the partitions 16. These heat-conducting plates 18 not only provide a secondary barrier to the flow of water vapor inside the outer tank 2, but their material and structural design also allow them to efficiently absorb the heat transferred from the water vapor while blocking it. The structure optimizes the heat conduction path, allowing the heat carried by water vapor to be fully trapped inside the outer tank 2, preventing the heat from escaping rapidly with the water vapor. This ensures that the heat inside the outer tank 2 can be stably and continuously supplied to the inner tank 21. Through the carefully designed heat-insulating part, a relatively stable high-temperature environment can be maintained around the inner tank 21. This not only helps the caustic soda concentration process proceed smoothly and improves the concentration efficiency, but also reduces energy waste and product quality instability caused by temperature fluctuations. The stable heat supply makes the caustic soda solution inside the inner tank 21 heat up more evenly. Example
[0029] like Figures 1-3As shown, the steam utilization component is used to introduce steam from the inner tank 21 into the outer tank 2, and to discharge the steam in the outer tank 2 when the steam in the outer tank 2 exceeds a threshold. The steam utilization component includes a gas supply mechanism and a discharge mechanism. The gas supply mechanism includes a connecting pipe 13 inserted and fixedly connected to the outer tank 2, and one end of the connecting pipe 13 is fixedly connected to and inserted into the inner tank 21. A one-way valve 14 is provided on the connecting pipe 13. The discharge mechanism includes a second exhaust pipe 10 inserted and fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the outer tank 2. A steam pressure sensor 6 is provided on the second exhaust pipe 10, and a solenoid valve 7 is also provided on the second exhaust pipe 10. The steam pressure sensor 6 and the solenoid valve 7 are electrically connected. The discharge mechanism and the gas supply mechanism are arranged diagonally from top to bottom.
[0030] As a key component of the steam utilization assembly, the gas transmission mechanism's core component, the connecting pipe 13, is inserted and securely fixed to the outer tank 2. One end of the connecting pipe 13 is precisely fixed and inserted into the inner tank 21, ensuring an unobstructed transmission path for steam from the inner tank 21 to the outer tank 2. The one-way valve 14 installed on the connecting pipe 13 only allows steam to flow from the inner tank 21 to the outer tank 2, effectively preventing backflow and ensuring the unidirectional and stable flow of steam. This design allows the inner tank to... The steam generated inside the body 21 can be guided to the outer tank 2 in an orderly manner. The discharge mechanism discharges excess steam through the second exhaust pipe 10. The steam pressure sensor 6 installed on the second exhaust pipe 10 can monitor the steam pressure inside the outer tank 2 in real time and accurately. When the steam pressure sensor 6 detects that the steam pressure inside the outer tank 2 exceeds the preset threshold, it will immediately transmit the signal to the solenoid valve 7 electrically connected to it. After receiving the signal, the solenoid valve 7 will respond quickly, open the valve, and discharge the excess steam from the outer tank 2 in a timely manner. Example
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a reversing valve 8 is provided on the second exhaust pipe 10. A first exhaust pipe 9 is inserted into and fixedly connected to the reversing valve 8, and a fan is connected to the end of the first exhaust pipe 9. A third exhaust pipe 11 is inserted into and fixedly connected to the reversing valve 8, and the third exhaust pipe 11 is connected to an external pipeline.
[0032] A first exhaust pipe 9 is inserted and fixedly connected inside the reversing valve 8, with a high-efficiency fan connected to its end. When the temperature inside the outer tank 2 needs to be quickly reduced during equipment operation, the fan starts. With its powerful suction capacity, it can form a strong negative pressure in a short time. Through the connection between the first exhaust pipe 9 and the reversing valve 8, the hot steam inside the outer tank 2 is quickly extracted, achieving the purpose of quickly removing the heat inside the outer tank 2. This provides a flexible temperature control method and diversified steam discharge paths for the production process. When the steam pressure and temperature inside the outer tank 2 are within the normal range, the reversing valve 8 can guide the steam to the third exhaust pipe 11, connecting it to the external pipeline for regular steam discharge. At the same time, if the external pipeline is connected to a steam recovery and utilization device, the steam can be further recovered for waste heat, converting the heat energy in the steam into other usable energy forms, such as preheating raw materials or heating media required in other production processes, thereby improving the comprehensive energy utilization efficiency and reducing the production cost of the enterprise.
[0033] Working principle:
[0034] The heat-insulating section effectively reduces the rapid loss of water vapor through its unique structural design. The multi-layered baffles 16 are tightly and firmly fixed between the outer tank 2 and the inner tank 21. These baffles 16 meticulously divide the space inside the outer tank 2. The upper and lower spaces of the outer tank 2 and the spaces between each layer of baffles 16 allow limited gas exchange only through carefully designed exchange holes 17. This design greatly hinders the rapid flow of water vapor inside the outer tank 2, thereby effectively reducing the rapid loss of water vapor. A heat-conducting plate 18 is further set between the baffles 16. The heat-conducting plate 18 not only plays a secondary role in blocking the flow of water vapor inside the outer tank 2, but its own material and structural design also enable it to efficiently absorb the heat transferred by the water vapor while blocking the water vapor, optimizing the heat conduction path. This structure allows the heat carried by the water vapor to be fully trapped inside the outer tank 2, preventing the heat from escaping with the water vapor and ensuring that the heat inside the outer tank 2 can be stably and continuously supplied to the inner tank 21.
[0035] As a key component of the steam utilization assembly, the gas transmission mechanism's core component, the connecting pipe 13, is inserted and securely fixed to the outer tank 2. One end of the connecting pipe 13 is precisely fixed and inserted into the inner tank 21, ensuring an unobstructed transmission path for steam from the inner tank 21 to the outer tank 2. The one-way valve 14 installed on the connecting pipe 13 only allows steam to flow from the inner tank 21 to the outer tank 2, effectively preventing backflow and ensuring the unidirectional and stable flow of steam. This design allows the steam generated in the inner tank 21 to be guided orderly into the outer tank 2 during the caustic soda concentration process. The discharge mechanism discharges excess steam through the second exhaust pipe 10. The steam pressure sensor 6 installed on the second exhaust pipe 10 can monitor the steam pressure inside the outer tank 2 in real time and accurately. When the steam pressure sensor 6 detects that the steam pressure inside the outer tank 2 exceeds the preset threshold, it will immediately transmit the signal to the solenoid valve 7 electrically connected to it. After receiving the signal, the solenoid valve 7 will respond quickly and open the valve to discharge the excess steam from the outer tank 2 in time, thereby effectively avoiding safety accidents such as equipment damage and explosion caused by excessive steam pressure. The diagonal arrangement at the top and bottom makes the steam flow path in the equipment more reasonable, which helps the steam to be evenly distributed and the heat to be fully exchanged throughout the equipment.
[0036] A first exhaust pipe 9 is inserted into and fixedly connected to the reversing valve 8. A high-efficiency fan is connected to the end of the pipe. When the temperature inside the outer tank 2 needs to be reduced quickly during equipment operation, the fan starts. With its strong suction capacity, it can form a strong negative pressure in a short time. Through the connection between the first exhaust pipe 9 and the reversing valve 8, the hot steam inside the outer tank 2 is quickly extracted, achieving the purpose of quickly removing the heat from the outer tank 2. This provides a flexible temperature control method and diversified steam discharge paths for the production process. When the steam pressure and temperature inside the outer tank 2 are within the normal range, the reversing valve 8 can guide the steam to the third exhaust pipe 11, connecting it to the external pipeline to achieve normal steam discharge.

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 the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
