AI Technical Summary
Existing evaporation separation chambers with pure tangential and pure radial feed have drawbacks such as uneven fluid distribution, agglomeration, high energy consumption, high salt deposition frequency, and short tank cleaning cycle.
The evaporation and separation chamber adopts a three-stream feed tangential and radial parallel flow. The feed is divided into two tangential and three radial streams by a flow guide baffle. Combined with the arc-shaped baffle design, the vortex intensity and flow velocity distribution are reduced, the solid phase distribution is improved, and the heat short-circuit loss and salt formation risk are reduced.
This achieves stable fluid flow, reduces crystal nucleus adhesion, extends the production cycle, lowers energy consumption and agglomeration frequency, and improves equipment efficiency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of energy and chemical equipment technology, and relates to a tangential radial three-stream parallel feed evaporation and separation chamber. Background Technology
[0002] In a tangentially fed evaporation separation chamber, the fluid moves in a vortex motion within the tank. The flow velocity is relatively high at the feed inlet, and the resulting centrifugal force exacerbates the uneven distribution of the solid phase within the evaporation chamber. The axial velocity distribution across the chamber's cross-section is also uneven, making it difficult to achieve uniform suspension of crystals in the boiling zone. Due to this uneven velocity distribution, the boiling zone exhibits high supersaturation, accelerating agglomeration on the inner wall at lower flow velocities and introducing vortex losses, thus increasing the energy consumption of the circulating pump. If vortices enter the circulating pump, cavitation occurs, reducing pump efficiency and causing pump vibration.
[0003] Due to the high instantaneous evaporation intensity, the evaporation in the pure radial feed evaporation separation chamber is intense. As a result, a large amount of salt is easily deposited around the outlet of the feed device and on the inner wall of the evaporation separation chamber, leading to a high frequency of pipe blockage and a short tank cleaning cycle.
[0004] The use of evaporation separation chambers with pure tangential feeding and pure radial feeding in the existing technology has drawbacks to varying degrees, thus both feeding devices have significant limitations. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a tangentially radially three-stream parallel-flow evaporation separation chamber. This overcomes the disadvantages of pure tangential feeding, reducing short-circuit heat loss, improving solid phase segregation within the evaporation chamber, and reducing the power consumption of the circulating pump. It also overcomes the disadvantages of pure radial feeding, reducing salt deposition around the outlet of the feeding device and on the inner wall of the evaporation separation chamber, avoiding uneven flow velocity distribution, reducing the flow velocity of the circulating liquid within the tank, minimizing heat short-circuit loss, providing a more stable environment for crystal nucleus growth, and ensuring an extended evaporation separation tank cleaning cycle.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A tangentially radially three-stream co-flow evaporation separation chamber includes a shell, a feeding device, and a discharging device. The feeding device is located in the straight section of the evaporation separation chamber, and the discharging device is located in the lower conical shell section of the evaporation separation chamber. The feeding device includes a connecting pipe, a bell-shaped tube, a tie rod, a baffle, and a flow guide plate. The flow guide plate divides the feed into two tangential and three radial streams that flow into the evaporation separation chamber. The baffle is located above the outlet of the bell-shaped tube, and the flow guide plate is welded to the connecting pipe and the bell-shaped tube. The discharging device includes a connecting pipe, an arc-shaped baffle of the tie rod, and the arc-shaped baffle is located above the outlet to prevent salt blocks from entering the outlet pipe.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The scheme of setting up a tangentially radially three-stream parallel-flow evaporation separation chamber addresses the issue of reduced vortex intensity in the tangentially fed evaporation separation chamber, avoiding the problem of uneven velocity distribution in pure tangential feed, reducing the flow velocity of the circulating liquid inside the tank, minimizing thermal short-circuit losses, and providing a more stable environment for crystal nucleus growth. Due to the dual tangentially radially three-stream parallel-flow feeding method, the feeding form has a powerful counter-current design, resulting in a relatively slow flow velocity in the fluid field inside the tank; eliminating the vortex state inside the tank, and ensuring a relatively stable liquid phase movement state. In terms of the structure of the evaporation separation chamber, it reduces the adhesion site of crystal nuclei, which has a certain beneficial effect on extending the production cycle of the evaporation crystallization system.
