Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of grease condensation devices, specifically a liquid grease condenser. Background Technology
[0002] In the processing of animal fats, after the fat tissue is extracted by wet refining (100-120℃) or dry refining (120-150℃), the resulting crude oil temperature is usually as high as 80-100℃. High-temperature oils must undergo condensation treatment before entering the storage or refining process; condensation is the process of cooling the high-temperature oil to a stable state.
[0003] Existing grease condensation treatment technologies typically involve conveying the grease to an open tank and letting it stand for 8-12 hours. This condensation time is relatively long, and severe oxidation and deterioration occur during this period. Another method involves using cooling pipes from traditional condensing units to condense the grease around the conveying pipes. However, the small diameter of the conveying pipes limits the contact area with the cooling pipes, resulting in poor condensation. Increasing the length of the conveying pipes would occupy a significant amount of space. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides a liquid grease condenser.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A liquid grease condenser includes a condensation tank, inside which is a conical heat dissipation cylinder with an upper inner diameter smaller than a lower inner diameter. The upper end of the conical heat dissipation cylinder is provided with a grease diverter coaxial with it, and the middle of the upper end of the condensation tank is provided with a feed inlet corresponding to the grease diverter.
[0007] The lower outer side of the conical heat sink is sealed to the inner wall of the condenser body through an annular plate, and the annular plate is detachably connected to the inner wall of the condenser. At least one flow guide port is provided on the annular plate.
[0008] The condenser tank is also equipped with an oil storage tank located below the conical heat dissipation cylinder. The oil storage tank is connected to the flow port through a flow guide pipe. The lower part of the oil storage tank is equipped with an oil drain pipe with a switch valve that extends outward from the condenser tank.
[0009] Cooling pipes are wound around the inner surface of the conical heat sink and the outer surface of the oil storage tank. The inlet pipe of the cooling pipe is connected to the outlet of the condenser unit outside the condenser tank, and the outlet pipe of the cooling pipe is connected to the inlet of the condenser unit.
[0010] Preferably, the grease diverter is a cylindrical structure with an open top, and its upper port has multiple overflow ports at equal intervals along its circumferential direction.
[0011] Regarding the structure of the grease diverter, the upper part of the grease diverter is a truncated cone-shaped tube with an inner diameter at the upper port that is larger than that at the lower port. The overflow port is located at the upper part of the conical structure, and the inner diameter at the upper port of the conical structure is smaller than that at the inlet.
[0012] To facilitate heat dissipation at the bottom of the condenser tank, multiple sets of heat dissipation holes are provided at the bottom of the condenser tank, and the heat dissipation holes are located close to the oil storage tank.
[0013] Furthermore, the taper of the condenser tank is 20°-35°.
[0014] Preferably, two flow guides are provided symmetrically, and each flow guide is connected to the oil storage tank through a flow guide pipe.
[0015] The inlet and outlet pipes of the cooling pipe are positioned as follows: the inlet pipe is located on the upper part of the inner side of the conical heat sink and is connected to the outlet of the condenser unit through a pipe; the outlet pipe is located at the lower part of the oil storage tank.
[0016] To facilitate the installation of the cooling pipe and the oil drain pipe, the oil drain pipe is located below the cooling pipe that is routed around the bottom of the oil storage tank.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] By setting a conical heat dissipation cylinder that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom inside the condenser tank, with the outer diameter of the lower part of the conical heat dissipation cylinder being slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the condenser tank, the high-temperature grease delivered from the feed inlet of the condenser tank is first diverted by the grease diverter, and the high-temperature liquid grease is evenly dispersed to the outer surface of the conical heat dissipation cylinder, which greatly increases the contact area between the high-temperature grease and the conical heat dissipation cylinder, and the heat dissipation area is increased. A cooling pipe that can deliver coolant or cooling air is wrapped around the inner surface of the conical heat dissipation cylinder, which can greatly improve the condensation effect of the high-temperature grease.
[0019] The condensation of high-temperature grease on the conical heat sink is the first-stage condensation. The high-temperature grease flows through the conical heat sink, the guide port of the annular plate, and the guide pipe into the oil storage tank. The oil storage tank serves as a temporary storage and cooling device. Cooling pipes are also provided around the outer surface of the oil storage tank. The cooling pipes can further condense the grease located in the oil storage tank, so that the grease can be quickly cooled to a stable state. Attached Figure Description

[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a liquid grease condenser includes a condensation tank 1 with a lid. The condensation tank 1 has a conical heat dissipation cylinder 2 inside, with the upper inner diameter being smaller than the lower inner diameter. The upper end of the conical heat dissipation cylinder 2 is provided with a grease diverter 4 coaxial with it. The middle of the lid at the upper end of the condensation tank 1 is provided with an inlet 102 corresponding to the grease diverter.
[0031] See Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the lower outer side of the conical heat sink 2 is sealed to the inner wall of the condenser tank 1 via an annular plate 3, and the annular plate 3 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the condenser tank. In this embodiment, the annular plate 3 has two guide ports 301, which are symmetrically arranged. The detachable connection between the annular plate 3 and the inner wall of the condenser tank facilitates cleaning or maintenance of components such as the conical heat sink 2, cooling pipe 7, and oil storage tank 5.
[0032] The taper of the condenser tank 1 is 20°-35°. This taper range facilitates the flow of general high-temperature grease, which can prolong the flow time of the grease and increase the heat dissipation area, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.
[0033] The condenser tank 1 also contains an oil storage tank 5 located below the conical heat sink 2. The oil storage tank 5 is connected to the guide port 301 via a guide pipe 6. Each guide port 301 is connected to the oil storage tank 5 via a guide pipe 6. The lower part of the oil storage tank 5 is provided with an oil drain pipe 501 with a switch valve extending outward from the condenser tank 1. The switch valve is located on the outside of the condenser tank 1. To facilitate the installation of the cooling pipe 7 and the oil drain pipe 501, the oil drain pipe 501 is located below the cooling pipe 7, which is located at the bottom of the oil storage tank 5.
[0034] See Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, cooling pipes 7 are wound around the inner surface of the conical heat sink 2 and the outer surface of the oil storage tank 5. The cooling pipes 7 are connected to the inner surface of the conical heat sink 2 and the outer surface of the oil storage tank 5 via multiple connectors to prevent the cooling pipes 7 from shaking and to allow the outer surface of the cooling pipes 7 to directly contact the corresponding inner surface of the conical heat sink 2 and the outer surface of the oil storage tank 5. The inlet pipe 701 of the cooling pipe 7 is connected to the outlet 801 of the condenser unit 8 outside the condenser tank 1, and the outlet pipe 702 of the cooling pipe 7 is connected to the inlet 802 of the condenser unit 8. The inlet pipe 701 and outlet pipe 702 of the cooling pipe 7 are positioned such that the inlet pipe 701 is located on the upper inner side of the conical heat sink 2 and is connected to the outlet 801 of the condenser unit 8 via a pipe, while the outlet pipe 702 is located at the lower part of the oil storage tank 5.
[0035] In the above structure, by setting a conical heat dissipation cylinder 2 that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom inside the condenser body 1, the outer diameter of the lower part of the conical heat dissipation cylinder 2 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the condenser body 1, so that the high-temperature grease delivered from the feed port 102 of the condenser body 1 is first diverted by the grease diverter 4, and the high-temperature liquid grease is evenly dispersed to the outer surface of the conical heat dissipation cylinder 2, which greatly increases the contact area between the high-temperature grease and the conical heat dissipation cylinder 2, and the heat dissipation area is increased. A cooling pipe 7 that can deliver coolant or cooling air is wound around the inner surface of the conical heat dissipation cylinder 2, which can greatly improve the condensation effect of the high-temperature grease.
[0036] See Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the grease diverter 4 is a cylindrical structure with an open top, and multiple overflow ports 403 are evenly spaced at its upper end along its circumferential direction. Specifically, the upper part of the grease diverter 4 is a truncated cone tube 401, and the lower part is a circular tube 402. The circular tube 402 and the truncated cone tube 401 are integrally formed. The inner diameter of the upper end of the truncated cone tube 401 is larger than the inner diameter of the lower end. The overflow ports 403 are opened on the upper part of the truncated cone tube 401, and the inner diameter of the upper end of the truncated cone tube 401 is smaller than the inner diameter of the feed inlet 102.
[0037] To facilitate heat dissipation at the bottom of the condenser tank 1, multiple sets of heat dissipation holes 101 are provided at the bottom of the condenser tank 1. The heat dissipation holes 101 are located close to the oil storage tank 5, and at least two sets of heat dissipation holes 101 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the oil storage tank 5.
