Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0024] The method of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3An energy-saving vacuum evaporation and concentration device includes a first concentration tank 1, a second concentration tank 2, and a third concentration tank 3. Each of the three tanks has a heat exchanger 5 installed at its lower internal end. Each of the three tanks has a filter screen 22 fixedly installed at its upper internal end. A first gas guide pipe 13 is fixedly installed at the outlet of the heat exchanger 5 inside the first concentration tank 1. The other end of the first gas guide pipe 13 is connected to the inlet of the heat exchanger 5 inside the second concentration tank 2. A second gas guide pipe 14 is fixedly installed at the outlet of the heat exchanger 5 inside the second concentration tank 2. The other end of 14 is connected to the inlet end of the heat exchanger 5 inside the third concentration tank 3. A fifth gas guide pipe 19 is fixedly installed at the outlet end of the heat exchanger 5 inside the third concentration tank 3. A sixth gas guide pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first concentration tank 1.

A fourth gas guide pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the third concentration tank 3. The other end of the fourth gas guide pipe 17 is connected to the interior of the fifth gas guide pipe 19. Water-circulating vacuum pumps 4 are installed in the pipes 16, 17, and 23. During operation, the liquid to be concentrated is introduced into the first concentration tank 1, the second concentration tank 2, and the third concentration tank 3, respectively. Hot air is first introduced into the heat exchanger 5 inside the first concentration tank 1, then through the first air pipe 13 into the heat exchanger 5 inside the second concentration tank 2. After heat exchange, it enters the heat exchanger 5 inside the third concentration tank 3 through the second air pipe 14. This process effectively utilizes the heat of the incoming medium. Simultaneously, multiple water-circulating vacuum pumps are activated. The vacuum pump 4 can perform a vacuum operation on the inside of the first concentration tank 1, the second concentration tank 2, and the third concentration tank 3, so that the liquid can be effectively concentrated at low temperature. The water vapor in the first concentration tank 1 enters the inside of the first air guide pipe 13 through the sixth air guide pipe 23, the water vapor in the second concentration tank 2 enters the inside of the second air guide pipe 14 through the third air guide pipe 16, and the water vapor in the third concentration tank 3 enters the inside of the fifth air guide pipe 19 through the fourth air guide pipe 17. This can reuse the water vapor inside the first concentration tank 1 and the second concentration tank 2, and the overall energy-saving performance is effectively improved.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3A three-way pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the lower end face of the first concentration tank 1, the second concentration tank 2, and the third concentration tank 3. A discharge pipe 6 is fixedly installed at the discharge end of the three-way pipe 7 of the first concentration tank 1. A first guide pipe 9 is fixedly installed at the feed end of the three-way pipe 7 of the first concentration tank 1, and the other end of the first guide pipe 9 is connected to the discharge end of the three-way pipe 7 of the second concentration tank 2. A second guide pipe 11 is fixedly installed at the feed end of the three-way pipe 7 of the second concentration tank 2, and the other end of the second guide pipe 11 is connected to the discharge end of the three-way pipe 7 of the third concentration tank 3. A feed pipe 20 is fixedly installed at the feed end of the three-way pipe 7 of the third concentration tank 3. A third conveying pump 21 and a solenoid valve 8 are fixedly installed in the feed pipe 20. A third conveying pump 21 and a solenoid valve 8 are fixedly installed in the second guide pipe 11. The second transfer pump 12 and the solenoid valve 8 are fixedly installed in the pipeline of the first feed pipe 9 and the discharge pipe 6. After the liquid in the first concentration tank 1 is concentrated, the solenoid valve 8 on the discharge pipe 6 can be opened to effectively discharge the liquid in the first concentration tank 1 from the discharge pipe 6. Then, the solenoid valves 8 on the first feed pipe 9 and the second feed pipe 11 are opened, and the first transfer pump 10 and the second transfer pump 12 are started. At this time, the liquid in the second concentration tank 2 can be effectively transferred to the first concentration tank 1, and the liquid in the third concentration tank 3 can be transferred to the interior of the second concentration tank 2, so that the liquid to be concentrated can be gradually heated to ensure that the specified concentration can be achieved.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 Both the second air duct 14 and the fifth air duct 19 are equipped with water outlets. The water outlet of the second air duct 14 is fixedly installed with a first collection tank 15, and the water outlet of the fifth air duct 19 is fixedly installed with a second collection tank 18. The first collection tank 15 can be used to recover the condensate discharged from the second air duct 14, and the second collection tank 18 can be used to recover the condensate discharged from the fifth air duct 19, ensuring that the heat transfer medium gas can flow effectively.
[0028] Working Principle: In use, the equipment is first installed in the designated location. Then, the liquid to be concentrated is introduced into the first concentration tank 1, the second concentration tank 2, and the third concentration tank 3, respectively. Hot air is first introduced into the heat exchanger 5 inside the first concentration tank 1, and then through the first air guide pipe 13 into the heat exchanger 5 inside the second concentration tank 2. After heat exchange, the air then enters the heat exchanger 5 inside the third concentration tank 3 through the second air guide pipe 14. This process effectively utilizes the heat of the incoming heat medium. Simultaneously, multiple water circulation vacuum pumps 4 are activated, creating a vacuum inside the first, second, and third concentration tanks, allowing for effective low-temperature concentration of the liquid. Water vapor in the first concentration tank 1 enters the first air guide pipe 13 through the sixth air guide pipe 23, and water vapor in the second concentration tank 2 enters the second air guide pipe 14 through the third air guide pipe 16. Water vapor in the third concentration tank 3... Steam enters the interior of the fifth gas pipe 19 through the fourth gas pipe 17. This allows for the reuse of water vapor inside the first concentration tank 1 and the second concentration tank 2. After the liquid in the first concentration tank 1 is concentrated, the solenoid valve 8 on the discharge pipe 6 is opened. This effectively discharges the liquid in the first concentration tank 1 from the discharge pipe 6. Then, the solenoid valves 8 on the first and second gas pipes 9 and 11 are opened, and the first and second transfer pumps 10 and 12 are started. At this time, the liquid in the second concentration tank 2 is effectively transferred to the first concentration tank 1, and the liquid in the third concentration tank 3 is transferred to the interior of the second concentration tank 2. This allows the liquid to be concentrated to gradually heat up, ensuring that the specified concentration is achieved. During the entire concentration process, the condensate discharged from the second gas pipe 14 can be recovered using the first collection tank 15, and the condensate discharged from the fifth gas pipe 19 can be recovered using the second collection tank 18, ensuring that the heat transfer medium gas can flow effectively.
