Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oxygen-enriched water treatment technology, specifically to an experimental oxygen-enriched water vacuum deoxygenation device. Background Technology

[0002] Due to contact with air, natural water bodies such as rivers and lakes are rich in oxygen, with dissolved oxygen levels ranging from 5 to 10 mg / L. However, rivers and lakes are susceptible to agricultural and other pollution, leading to excessive total nitrogen (TN) levels. Currently, commonly used biological processes for TN removal mainly include autotrophic or heterotrophic denitrification. Both of these processes have requirements for influent dissolved oxygen, which needs to be below 2 mg / L. Furthermore, in the power and chemical industries, it is also necessary to control the dissolved oxygen in incoming water to a low level, as dissolved oxygen in water can cause corrosion of equipment (impellers, pipes, etc.), thus necessitating the removal of dissolved oxygen from the water.

[0003] Currently, there are various methods for removing dissolved oxygen from water, mainly divided into physical and chemical methods. Chemical methods require the addition of chemical reagents, which can easily lead to overdosing and secondary pollution. Physical methods mainly include vacuum deoxygenation and air stripping. Air stripping is more expensive and difficult to apply in engineering. Vacuum deoxygenation has advantages such as simple operation, strong controllability, and no secondary pollution. However, current vacuum deoxygenation devices are often used in large industrial sites, with complex structures and large footprints. Miniature and small-scale deoxygenation devices required by universities and research institutions are extremely rare.

[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to study a miniaturized and simple experimental vacuum deoxygenation device. Utility Model Content

[0032] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention.

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] This utility model embodiment provides an experimental oxygen-enriched water vacuum deoxygenation device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a tank body, on which a bracket or mounting base is installed, and is divided into an upper section, a middle section, and a lower section.

[0035] The upper section has a vacuum port 1 at the top and is connected to a vacuum device. A vacuum pressure gauge 11 and a first valve 12 are installed on the pipeline connecting the vacuum port 1 and the vacuum device. The vacuum device is a vacuum pump 13. The upper section has a water inlet 2 on its side wall and is connected to a spray device 24. The spray device 24 extends into the upper section. The outside of the water inlet 2 is connected to the pipeline of the oxygen-enriched water supply tank 21. A water pump 22 and a second valve 23 are installed on the pipeline. The spray device 24 includes a spray pipe 241 and at least one spray head 242 installed on the bottom surface of the spray pipe 241.

[0036] A flow deflector 3 is fixedly installed inside the middle section. The flow deflector 3 includes a connecting part 31 and a flow deflector plate 32. The outer diameter of the connecting part 31 fits against the inner wall of the middle section with an interference fit. The flow deflector plate 32 is located below the connecting part 31 and is welded to or integrally formed with the connecting part 31. There are several flow deflector plates 32 arranged in an array, and their longitudinal cross-section is S-shaped or Z-shaped (the figure shows a Z-shaped one, the S-shaped one is not shown, which is basically consistent with the wave-shaped flow deflector commonly used in the prior art). The connecting part 31 includes a mesh ring 311 and a mesh 312 inside the mesh ring 311, such as Figure 2 As shown, the baffle 32 is connected to the mesh 312, the mesh ring 311 is attached to the inner wall of the middle section, and the angle between the baffle and the connecting part is greater than 0° and less than 180°.

[0037] The lower section has an outlet 4 at its bottom, which connects to a water collection tank 42. A third valve 41 is installed on the pipeline. The lower section also has a water level gauge seat 5 or a water level observation window (not shown in the diagram, consistent with existing technology). The water level gauge seat 5 includes an upper connecting pipe 51, a lower connecting pipe 53, and a water level gauge tube 52. The upper connecting pipe 51 and the lower connecting pipe 53 are spaced apart on the side wall of the lower section and are connected by the water level gauge tube 52. The water level observation window is located at the guaranteed water level mark. The observation window can be made of transparent glass embedded in the side wall of the tank, and both are sealed. Its purpose at the guaranteed water level mark is to observe whether the water level entering the tank has reached the optimal water usage level, preventing the water level from being too high or too low, which could affect the deoxygenation effect.

[0038] This utility model device includes an inlet pump, a vacuum pump, a vacuum pressure gauge, spray heads, and control valves on various pipelines. The inlet pump pumps raw water from the oxygen-enriched water supply tank into the device's tank; the vacuum pump regulates the pressure inside the tank; the vacuum pressure gauge displays the pressure inside the tank in real time; the spray heads disperse the pumped raw water into the tank, causing it to fall onto the baffle plate to increase the contact area with air, thus facilitating the transfer of dissolved oxygen from the water into the air; the cavity in the upper section of the tank completes the deoxygenation process, and the deoxygenated water flows from the outlet into a collection tank under the control of a third valve for subsequent research.

[0039] The specific operating procedure is as follows: Connect all pipes and valves, ensuring all valves are closed. Open the first valve, then turn on the vacuum pump to bring the pressure inside the device to -0.08 MPa. Next, open the second valve and turn on the inlet pump to pump water into the tank. The first valve and vacuum pump can be adjusted according to the pressure inside the tank. Specifically, when the pressure is below -0.08 MPa, the vacuum pump can be turned off, and then the first valve closed. When the pressure is above -0.08 MPa, the first valve can be opened, and then the vacuum pump turned on. When the water volume reaches the designed level, ensuring the water level is reached, close the inlet pump and the second valve. Then, read the value of the vacuum pressure gauge to adjust the first valve and the vacuum pump, maintaining a pressure above -0.08 MPa for at least 5 minutes. The deoxygenated water can then flow out into the collection tank under gravity through the third valve. This process removes as much oxygen as possible; extending the time helps remove more oxygen, but the time should not be too long, as the subsequent deoxygenation effect will not increase proportionally. Therefore, adjustments need to be made according to the actual situation.

[0040] The experimental oxygen-enriched water vacuum deoxygenation device of this utility model has a simple structure, is small in size, and is easy to operate. The first valve, the second valve, and the third valve can be set as electromagnetic valves. The control system automatically controls the water flow, vacuuming operation, water flow rate, and water outflow after deoxygenation. Therefore, the deoxygenation efficiency is greatly improved, and it can realize the production of low-oxygen water with controllable dissolved oxygen in small batches for experimental verification in universities or research institutions.
