Description

[0025] To provide a clearer explanation and description of the technical solution and implementation of this utility model, several preferred specific embodiments for implementing the technical solution of this utility model are introduced below.

[0026] The following description is exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the scope, application, or use of this disclosure. It should be understood that in all these figures, the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar parts and features. The figures are merely schematic representations of the concept and principles of embodiments of this disclosure and do not necessarily show the specific dimensions and scale of each embodiment. Specific details or structures of embodiments of this disclosure may be exaggerated in particular portions of certain figures. The disclosures of various publications, patents, and published patent specifications cited herein are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0027] In Example 1, the sulfur cooling frame mechanism 1 has a relatively small overall size to accommodate limited workshop space. The support 4 is welded from angle steel and coated with anti-rust paint to ensure good corrosion resistance in a humid sulfur environment. The industrial cooler 2 is a small air-cooled cooler, and its cooling output end is connected to six stainless steel cooling pipes 3. The pipe diameter is designed to be moderate according to cooling requirements to ensure refrigerant flow and cooling effect. The six through holes on the left side wall of the square frame 11 fit tightly with the cooling pipes 3, and the sealing gaskets ensure the sealing of the connection to prevent sulfur leakage. The water-cooled purification tank 14 is filled with pure aqueous solution. The solution volume is calculated according to the tank volume, which can effectively absorb the heat of sulfur gas and clean the solidified sulfur after cooling. The end of the sulfur inlet pipe 15 away from the bottom plate 16 is connected to the sulfur gas delivery pipe of the sulfur combustion furnace by a flange, and a sealing gasket is installed at the connection to ensure smooth and safe sulfur delivery. Multiple gaps between the cooling coil 17 and the serpentine cooling pipe 110, allowing sulfur gas to pass through, ensure both the flow of sulfur gas and sufficient contact between the sulfur gas and the cooling pipes, thus improving cooling efficiency. The outer surface of the gas collecting hood 18 is welded to the inner wall of the square frame 11, and its top port is threaded to the bottom port of the water-cooled purification tank 14 for easy disassembly and cleaning. A one-way check valve 19 is installed at the bottom port of the water-cooled purification tank 14. Its sealing performance has been rigorously tested to effectively prevent backflow of the solution inside the water-cooled purification tank while ensuring that sulfur gas enters the water-cooled purification tank from bottom to top. The top port of the water-cooled purification tank 14 is connected to the bottom port of the outlet port 12 via a flange, and a sealing gasket is installed at the connection to ensure that the cooled and purified sulfur gas can be discharged smoothly.

[0028] Example 2 involves upgrading and optimizing the device. The overall size of the sulfur cooling frame mechanism 1 is increased to meet the needs of large-scale sulfur cooling. The support 4 is welded from channel steel, making the structure more stable and able to withstand greater weight and vibration. The industrial cooler 2 is a large water-cooled cooler with stronger cooling capacity, and the diameter of the six cooling pipes 3 connected to its cooling output end is correspondingly increased to improve the flow rate of the refrigerant. Two cooling coils 17 are installed in the inner cavity of the square frame 11, and the length and diameter of the cooling coils are increased to increase the cooling area. The inner cavity size of the water-cooled purification tank 14 is also correspondingly increased, allowing for a larger volume of pure aqueous solution to be injected. A stirring device is installed inside the water-cooled purification tank to periodically stir the solution, improving the adsorption of sulfur heat and the cleaning effect on sulfur solids. The sulfur inlet pipe 15 uses thickened tubing to improve its pressure resistance and corrosion resistance. The number and density of the fins 111 of the cooling coils 17 and the serpentine cooling pipes 110 are increased, further increasing the contact area with the sulfur and improving cooling efficiency. The gas collection hood 18 has been enlarged and its shape optimized for more efficient sulfur gas collection. The one-way check valve 19 uses high-performance sealing materials for more reliable sealing performance.

[0029] In Example 3, considering the presence of impurities and acidic gases in the sulfur gas, higher requirements are placed on the corrosion resistance of the device. Key components of the sulfur gas cooling frame mechanism 1, such as the square frame 11, top plate 13, bottom plate 16, cooling coil 17, and serpentine cooling pipe 110, are all made of 316L stainless steel, a material with excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature resistance. The outer shell and internal pipes of the industrial cooler 2 are also made of stainless steel to resist corrosion from sulfur gas and impurities. An appropriate amount of corrosion inhibitor is added to the pure aqueous solution injected into the inner cavity of the water-cooled purification tank 14 to further protect the tank's interior from corrosion. The surfaces of the sulfur gas inlet pipe 15 and the cooling pipe 3 undergo special anti-corrosion treatment, such as spraying a ceramic coating, to improve their corrosion resistance.

[0030] Based on the above-described preferred technical solution, the workflow of this technical solution is explained as follows:

[0031] Sulfur gas is discharged from the sulfur combustion furnace and enters the sulfur gas cooling frame mechanism 1 through the sulfur gas inlet pipe 15. The end of the sulfur gas inlet pipe 15 away from the bottom plate 16 is connected to the sulfur gas delivery pipe of the sulfur combustion furnace, allowing the sulfur gas to be smoothly introduced. After the sulfur gas enters the inner cavity of the square frame 11, some of the sulfur gas flows upward and first contacts the serpentine cooling pipe 110 on the left side of the outer ring of the water-cooled purification tank 14. There are multiple gaps between the serpentine cooling pipe 110 and the cooling coil 17 for the sulfur gas to pass through. The sulfur gas shuttles through these gaps and exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the serpentine cooling pipe 110, initially reducing its temperature. The refrigerant input / output end of the serpentine cooling pipe 110 is connected to the end of the cooling pipe 3. The refrigerant output from the industrial cooler 2 is transported to the serpentine cooling pipe 110 through 6 cooling pipes 3, where it absorbs heat from the sulfur gas, its temperature rises, and then it flows back to the industrial cooler 2 for cooling circulation.

[0032] Another portion of the sulfur gas comes into contact with two cooling coils 17 in the middle and lower sections of the inner cavity of the square frame 11. Multiple fins 111 are fixed to the outer surface of the cooling coils 17, increasing the contact area with the sulfur gas and further promoting heat exchange. The refrigerant for the cooling coils 17 also comes from the industrial cooler 2, transported through the cooling pipes 3, and flows back to the industrial cooler 2 for recooling after absorbing heat from the sulfur gas. After being cooled by the cooling coils 17 and the serpentine cooling pipes 110, some of the solidified sulfur may adhere to the pipes and components. The pure aqueous solution injected into the inner cavity of the water-cooled purification tank 14 can clean these solidified sulfur particles while continuing to absorb the remaining heat from the sulfur gas.

[0033] After further cooling and purification within the water-cooled purification tank 14, the sulfur gas flows out from the top port of the tank, which is connected to the bottom port of the outlet port 12, allowing the cooled and purified sulfur gas to exit the device through the outlet port 12. At the bottom of the water-cooled purification tank 14, a one-way check valve 19 is connected to its bottom port. This valve prevents backflow of the solution inside the tank and controls the sulfur gas to flow upwards, ensuring the flow direction of the sulfur gas and the normal operation of the device. The outer surface of the gas collecting hood 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the square frame 11, and its top port is connected to the bottom port of the water-cooled purification tank 14, serving to collect and guide the sulfur gas into the tank.

[0034] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
