Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coal-to-synthetic ammonia and urea production technology, specifically to an improved cooling device for a granulator. Background Technology

[0002] A granulator for urea production is a machine used to produce uniform urea granules during urea production and processing.

[0003] In the coal-to-ammonia and urea production processes, CO2 byproducts are present in the syngas produced from coal. Furthermore, at excessively high temperatures, during the granulation process in the production of large-particle urea, some seed crystals become pulverized. This seed crystal powder adheres to the inner wall of the granulator drum, causing severe scaling and affecting the normal operation of the granulator. The pulverization of urea seed crystals significantly impacts the appearance quality of the large-particle finished product. Current common methods involve using a low-temperature methanol washing process to remove CO2 from the syngas, followed by a CO2 desorption tower to desorb the CO2 absorbed in the methanol. The desorbed CO2 gas has a temperature of approximately 25°C and a pressure of approximately 0.17 MPa. Most of this gas is used as feedstock for urea production, while the excess is vented directly, resulting in CO2 waste and environmental pollution. There is a lack of appropriate structures to reduce CO2 waste and maintain normal equipment operation, necessitating improvement and optimization. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides two technical solutions:

[0022] Example 1: A cooling improvement device for a granulator includes a fluidizing blower 1. One end of the fluidizing blower 1 is fixedly connected to a fluidizing air inlet pipe 8, and the other end is fixedly connected to a fluidizing air outlet pipe 9. One end of the fluidizing air outlet pipe 9 is fixedly connected to a granulator 2. One end of the granulator 2 is fixedly connected to a molten urea pipe 10 and a hopper discharge pipe 14. One end of the hopper discharge pipe 14 is fixedly connected to an anti-clogging hopper assembly 4. The other end of the granulator 2 is fixedly connected to a large-particle urea discharge pipe 11. A CO2 pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the fluidizing air outlet pipe 9. One end of the CO2 pipe 12 is fixedly connected to a CO2 desorption tower 5. A vent pipe 13 is provided at one end of the fluidizing air outlet pipe 9. An automatic regulating valve 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the CO2 pipe 12. A pressure gauge 7 is fixedly connected to the middle of the fluidizing air outlet pipe 9. A belt 3 is provided above the anti-clogging hopper assembly 4.

[0023] In operation, small urea particles, acting as seed crystals, are conveyed via belt 3 to the anti-clogging hopper assembly 4, and then through the hopper discharge pipe 14 to the granulator 2. Entering from one end of the granulator 2's drum, they are lifted and propelled onto the fluidized bed by the rotation of the lifting plates and drum, forming a uniform fluidized layer. Under the action of fluidizing air, the urea particles leave the bed surface from the lower end and fall down by gravity, forming a "material curtain." Molten urea is conveyed to the granulator 2 through the molten urea pipe 10, entering the molten urea main pipe from both ends of the granulator 2. Passing through specially designed molten urea nozzles evenly distributed on the main pipe, it is sprayed at a certain angle onto the urea "material curtain," uniformly coating the urea particles. It is then collected by the lifting plates below and moves axially with the rotation of the drum, continuously increasing in size until it reaches the specifications of large particles. Qualified large urea particles are conveyed to the next process through the large urea discharge pipe 11. The outlet end of the CO2 desorption tower 5 is connected to the CO2 pipe 12. CO2 gas desorbed from the CO2 desorption tower at a temperature of approximately 25°C and a pressure of approximately 0.17 MPa is transported to the fluidizing air through CO2 pipe 12, reducing the temperature of the fluidizing air entering the granulator. Pressure gauge 7 is used to monitor and control the pressure of the fluidizing air entering the granulator 2 at 0.007 MPa, providing a slight positive pressure for the granulator 2. Automatic regulating valve 6 and pressure gauge 7 are set up in an automatic regulating loop, which reduces the pressure of the CO2 gas desorbed from the CO2 desorption tower at a temperature of approximately 25°C and a pressure of approximately 0.17 MPa to 0.007 MPa before sending it into the fluidizing air. Vent pipe 13 is used to vent the fluidizing air in case of system abnormalities. The fluidizing air provides power for the fluidization of urea particles while also being in a good gas-solid phase heat transfer state with the fluidized urea particles, timely removing the crystallization heat and sensible heat of urea, so that the temperature of the large urea particles exiting the granulator drops to about 90°C.

[0024] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the anti-clogging hopper assembly 4 includes a hopper 401. The lower end of the hopper 401 is fixedly connected to the hopper discharge pipe 14. Two sets of fixing grooves 402 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper end of the hopper 401. A support rod 403 is inserted into the fixing groove 402. A motor 404 is fixedly connected to the support rod 403. A rotating shaft 405 is inserted into the lower end of the motor 404. A stirring rod 406 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating shaft 405. A connecting inclined rod 407 is fixedly connected to one end of the stirring rod 406. A scraping rubber strip 408 is inserted into one end of the connecting inclined rod 407. A positioning pin is fixedly connected to the fixing groove 402. 409, the positioning pin 409 has a locking groove 410 in the middle; the support rod 403 has positioning holes 411 symmetrically provided at both ends, the positioning holes 411 have slots 412 in the positioning holes 411, the slots 412 are movably inserted with locking pins 413, one end of the locking pin 413 is fixedly connected with a first spring 414, one end of the first spring 414 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the slot 412; a pressing column 415 is inserted into the slot 412, the middle of the pressing column 415 is fixedly connected with a second spring 416, one end of the second spring 416 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the slot 412, and one end of the pressing column 415 is fixedly connected with a pressing body 417.

[0025] In use, the motor 404 on the anti-clogging hopper assembly 4 drives the rotating shaft 405 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 405 drives the stirring rod 406 and the scraping rubber strip 408 to rotate. The rotation of the stirring rod 406 prevents the bottom of the hopper 401 from becoming clogged. The scraping rubber strip 408 rotates close to the hopper 401 to scrape the inner wall of the hopper 401 to prevent particles from sticking to the wall. When installing the support rod 403, the positioning hole 411 is aligned with the positioning pin 409 and inserted. The first spring 414 squeezes the locking pin 413 and inserts it into the locking groove 410 on the positioning pin 409 to lock it. When disassembling, the pressing body 417 is pressed at the same time, and the pressing column 415 squeezes the inclined surface in the middle of the locking pin 413 to make the locking pin 413 disengage from the locking groove 410 and pull the support rod 403 upward to complete the disassembly.

[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
