Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of evaporator technology, specifically to a high-efficiency evaporator with natural circulation. Background Technology

[0002] A high-efficiency evaporator with natural circulation is a device that utilizes the principle of natural circulation for evaporation. Its working principle is based on the uneven density of different parts of the solution under heating, and the movement of vapor driving the liquid, thus creating circulation. This type of evaporator does not require external power; it relies on the density difference between the liquid and the feed to achieve natural circulation. Although the circulation speed is not high, it is sufficient to meet evaporation requirements.

[0003] Most high-efficiency evaporators with natural circulation currently on the market have a demister screen on the top of the evaporator to prevent mist from being trapped. However, the surface of the demister screen accumulates a certain amount of impurities during long-term use. At this time, the demister screen needs to be removed from the evaporator and cleaned. This not only makes the disassembly and cleaning process of the demister screen time-consuming, but also prevents the demister screen from continuing to work during the cleaning process. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem that the existing technology involves a lengthy disassembly and cleaning process for the defogging wire mesh, and that the defogging wire mesh cannot continue to function during the cleaning process.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model discloses a high-efficiency evaporator with natural circulation flow, comprising an evaporator separation chamber, an evaporator heating chamber disposed on the side of the evaporator separation chamber, a connecting pipe fixedly connected between the evaporator separation chamber and the evaporator heating chamber, a waste liquid pipe fixedly connected vertically inside the evaporator heating chamber, a concentrated liquid discharge pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the evaporator heating chamber, a feed liquid circulation pipe fixedly connected to the outside of the evaporator separation chamber, a heat source supply pipe fixedly connected to the top of the evaporator separation chamber, the end of the heat source supply pipe away from the evaporator separation chamber being fixedly connected to the evaporator heating chamber, a steam compressor fixedly installed outside the heat source supply pipe, a switching assembly disposed inside the evaporator separation chamber, the switching assembly including a rotatable rotating disk, diaphragm screens symmetrically fixedly connected to the center of the rotating disk, a rinsing assembly disposed above the rotating disk inside the evaporator separation chamber for rinsing and cleaning the diaphragm screens on one side, and a discharge assembly disposed below the rotating disk inside the evaporator separation chamber for recovering and discharging the rinsed liquid.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rinsing assembly includes an upper support, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the evaporator separation chamber, and a first sealing ring is fixedly connected to one side of the upper support.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the rinsing assembly further includes a spray head, each of which is connected to the interior of the upper support and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper support. The rinsing assembly also includes an inlet pipe, which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the evaporator separation chamber. One end of the inlet pipe is connected to the interior of the upper support, and the other end of the inlet pipe is located outside the evaporator separation chamber. The rinsing assembly also includes a first valve, which is fixedly installed on the outside of the inlet pipe.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the switching assembly includes a bracket, which is symmetrically and fixedly connected inside the upper support. The switching assembly also includes a worm gear, which is rotatably connected to the middle of the two sets of brackets. The switching assembly also includes a motor, which is fixedly installed on the outside of one side of the bracket, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the worm gear.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the switching component further includes a rotating shaft, which is rotatably connected inside the upper support. The bottom of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating disk, and a worm gear is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft. The worm gear is in contact with the worm and is meshed and rotatably connected.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the discharge assembly includes a lower support, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the evaporator separator chamber and is located below the motor. A second sealing ring is fixedly connected to one side of the lower support, and the second sealing ring is in contact with the motor.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the discharge assembly further includes a storage tank, which is opened on the top of the lower support. The size of the lower support matches that of the demister mesh. The discharge assembly also includes a delivery pipe, which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the evaporator separation chamber. One end of the delivery pipe is connected to the storage tank, and the other end of the delivery pipe is located outside the evaporator separation chamber. A second valve is fixedly installed on the top of the delivery pipe.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This type of high-efficiency evaporator with natural circulation features two sets of demister screens symmetrically arranged in the center of a rotating disc. When cleaning is required on one side of the demister screen, the motor is started, and the rotating disc rotates in conjunction with the worm gear and worm wheel until the positions of the two sets of demister screens are reversed. The other set of demister screens replaces the first set and continues to work. At the same time, the demister screen with impurities attached rotates to the area below the spray head. At this point, a water source can be connected to the inlet pipe. The cleaning water will pass through the inlet pipe and the upper support in sequence and be sprayed onto the surface of the demister screen from the spray head to complete the cleaning. After cleaning, the water will fall into the storage tank. Opening the second valve allows the water in the storage tank to be discharged out through the outlet pipe. Compared to the comparative document, this design can complete the cleaning work without disassembling the demister screens. At the same time, the two sets of demister screens can be kept working alternately during the cleaning process to ensure work continuity. Attached Figure Description
