Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum oil filtration technology, and in particular to an energy-saving vacuum oil filtration machine. Background Technology
[0002] The vacuum oil purifier is designed based on the different boiling points of water and oil. It consists of a vacuum heating tank, a fine filter, a condenser, a primary filter, a water tank, a vacuum pump, an oil discharge pump, and an electrical cabinet. The vacuum pump extracts air from the vacuum tank to create a vacuum. Under atmospheric pressure, the external oil enters the primary filter through the inlet pipe to remove larger particles. Then, it enters the heating tank, where it is heated to 40-75°C. The oil then passes through an automatic oil float valve, which automatically controls the amount of oil entering and exiting the vacuum tank to maintain balance.
[0003] After being heated, the oil is rapidly separated into a semi-mist state by the rapidly rotating spray blades. The water in the oil evaporates quickly into water vapor, which is continuously drawn into the condenser by the vacuum pump. The water vapor entering the condenser is cooled and then reverts back to water and is released. The oil in the vacuum heating tank is discharged into the fine filter by the oil discharge pump. Through the filter paper or filter element, particulate impurities are filtered out, thus completing the entire process of the vacuum oil purifier rapidly removing impurities, water, and gases from the oil, allowing clean oil to be discharged from the outlet.
[0004] Application No. 201511003297.8 discloses a vacuum oil filter. In this vacuum oil filter, heating occurs outside the vacuum tank during oil-water separation. Water has a high boiling point, resulting in energy waste and damage to oil quality. The vacuum oil filter comprises an oil inlet valve, a primary filter, a heater, a vacuum tank, an oil pump, a regeneration tank, and a secondary filter connected in sequence. Its key feature is that a vacuum pump is connected to the vacuum tank, and the heater is located inside the vacuum tank. Compared with existing technologies, the significant advantages of this invention are: 1. Energy saving and high efficiency; 2. Safety and reliability; 3. The heater and steam-water separator are both located inside the vacuum tank, resulting in low energy consumption and facilitating rapid oil-water separation.
[0005] In the aforementioned application, water vapor in the vacuum chamber is extracted by a vacuum pump, condensed into water by a condenser, and discharged. The heat of the water vapor is wasted by the condenser, but the oil needs to be heated and requires energy when entering the vacuum tank.
[0006] Therefore, the applicant believes that using the heat of water vapor to preheat the oil entering the vacuum tank can improve heat utilization and achieve energy conservation and emission reduction. Utility Model Content
[0007] In response to the problems in related technologies, this application discloses an energy-saving vacuum oil filter, which solves the problem of wasted energy due to the inability to utilize the heat of water vapor in the prior art.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:
[0009] An energy-saving vacuum oil filtration machine includes an oil inlet and an oil outlet. An oil inlet valve is sequentially installed between the oil inlet and the oil outlet via a pipeline. A primary filter is installed after the oil inlet valve. A vacuum heating tank is connected to the rear of the primary filter. An oil discharge pump is connected to the rear of the vacuum heating tank. A fine filter is installed after the oil discharge pump. An oil outlet valve is installed after the fine filter. A heat exchanger is connected to the top of the vacuum heating tank. An oil inlet pipeline at the front of the vacuum heating tank passes through the heat exchanger. A vacuum pump is connected to the other end of the heat exchanger.
[0010] As a further aspect of this application: the heat exchanger is disposed between the oil inlet valve and the primary filter.
[0011] As a further aspect of this application: the vacuum heating tank is equipped with a heater inside.
[0012] As a further aspect of this application: a condenser is provided between the heat exchanger and the vacuum pump.
[0013] As a further aspect of this application, the fine filter is provided with a multi-stage filter element assembly.
[0014] As a further aspect of this application, the fine filter is provided with a drain valve at its bottom.
[0015] In summary, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:
[0016] 1. Energy-saving vacuum oil filter: The oil inlet and outlet are connected by pipelines to the oil inlet and outlet, which are sequentially equipped with an oil inlet valve, a primary filter, a vacuum heating tank, an oil discharge pump, a fine filter, and an oil outlet valve. A heat exchanger is connected to the top of the vacuum heating tank. Water vapor inside the vacuum heating tank enters the heat exchanger through pipelines. The oil inlet pipeline at the front of the vacuum heating tank passes through the heat exchanger, and a vacuum pump is connected to the other end of the heat exchanger. Under the action of the vacuum pump, the water vapor inside the vacuum heating tank can preliminarily heat the oil entering the vacuum heating tank through the heat exchanger. This effectively utilizes the heat of the water vapor, improves the heat utilization rate, and achieves energy saving and emission reduction.
[0017] 2. The heat exchanger is located between the oil inlet valve and the primary filter. The heat exchanger can preheat the oil entering the primary filter. The primary filter has high filtration performance for oil with a certain temperature, thus improving the filtration performance of the vacuum oil filter.
[0018] 3. The vacuum heating tank is equipped with a heater inside, which consumes less energy and facilitates rapid oil-water separation.
[0019] 4. A condenser is installed between the heat exchanger and the vacuum pump. The condenser can cool and liquefy water vapor and release the liquefied water.
[0020] 5. The fine filter is equipped with a multi-stage filter element assembly, which improves the filtration performance of the vacuum oil purifier.
[0021] 6. A drain valve is provided at the bottom of the fine filter. The drain valve can discharge the dirty oil inside the fine filter, which improves the fine filter performance and the filtration efficiency of the vacuum oil filter. Attached Figure Description
