It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of the utility model described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0027] After prolonged use, scale can easily accumulate inside the condenser, affecting its cooling performance. Therefore, it is necessary to disassemble and clean or replace the pipes. However, disassembling and replacing the internal pipes of existing condensers is quite troublesome. At the same time, the condenser shell and internal pipes are prone to deformation due to long-term gas impact, which affects their service life.

[0028] This invention provides a condenser for sodium azide, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the condenser includes a cylinder 1, a condensation assembly, an inlet pipe 2, and an outlet pipe 3. The condensation assembly is located inside the cylinder 1 to cool the sodium azide production tail gas. The inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 are respectively located on both sides of the cylinder 1. An air inlet assembly and an exhaust pipe 4 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the cylinder 1. The air inlet assembly is used to transport the sodium azide production tail gas into the cylinder 1. The condensation assembly is connected to the air inlet assembly and the exhaust pipe 4 to receive and discharge the input sodium azide production tail gas.

[0029] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the condenser assembly includes a condenser cylinder 10, a fixing plate 11, a condenser tube 12, and an air inlet pipe 13. To facilitate the installation and disassembly of the condenser assembly, the condenser cylinder 10, fixing plate 11, condenser tube 12, and air inlet pipe 13 are assembled into an assembly. This assembly means that during installation, the condenser cylinder 10, fixing plate 11, condenser tube 12, and air inlet pipe 13 are first assembled into a whole, and then the assembly is installed into the interior of the cylinder 1. During disassembly, the assembly is also disassembled and removed as a whole. The assembly can slide in and out of the cylinder 1 for installation and disassembly. Fixing plates 11 are provided at both ends of the condenser cylinder 10. The fixing plates 11 are circular plates, and their peripheries are in contact with the inner wall of the cylinder 1. At the same time, in order to prevent coolant leakage, a seal is provided on the periphery of the fixing plates 11. The condenser cylinder 10 is fixed between two fixed plates 11, forming a condensation chamber where the exhaust gas is cooled. The fixed plates 11 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 1. Multiple condenser pipes 12 are evenly arranged inside the cylinder 1, and the condenser pipes 12 supply coolant flow. The two ends of the condenser pipes 12 extend from the two fixed plates 11 to the outside of the condenser cylinder 10. The coolant enters the cylinder 1 from the inlet pipe 2 and then enters the condenser pipe 12 to exchange heat with the gas. The temperature of the coolant rises and it is discharged from the outlet pipe 3. After being cooled again, it enters the inlet pipe 2 to form a cycle. The air inlet pipe 13 is connected to the air inlet assembly. The gas input by the air inlet assembly enters the air inlet pipe 13 and then enters the condenser cylinder 10.

[0030] This invention enables the condenser cylinder 10, fixing plate 11, condenser pipe 12 and air inlet pipe 13 to be assembled as a whole for installation and disassembly. In subsequent maintenance, when it is necessary to clean the pipes inside the condenser cylinder 10, the whole assembly can be directly removed for replacement, without having to disassemble the condenser pipe 12 one by one, thus improving the efficiency of replacement and maintenance.

[0031] To ensure uniform exhaust gas intake, two intake pipes 13 are symmetrically arranged along the tangential direction on the periphery of the condenser cylinder 10. The exhaust gas enters the interior of the condenser cylinder 10 along the two intake pipes 13. During intake, the exhaust gas enters symmetrically from both sides along the tangential direction, making the exhaust gas intake smoother and more stable after entering the condenser cylinder 10. This reduces turbulence generated when the exhaust gas enters, improves the uniformity of exhaust gas intake, avoids strong impact of gas on the condenser cylinder 10 and condenser pipe 12, and improves the service life of the condenser cylinder 10 and condenser pipe 12.

[0032] In order to allow for the replacement of individual condenser tubes 12, the condenser tubes 12 are configured to slide and connect to the fixing plate 11, which allows for the replacement of individual condenser tubes 12 and improves the convenience of maintenance. It should be noted that a sealing ring should be fitted on the outside of the condenser tubes 12 to isolate the two sides of the fixing plate 11 and ensure airtightness.

[0033] To improve the cooling effect on the exhaust gas, the intake assembly is positioned near the outlet pipe 3, and the exhaust pipe 4 is positioned near the inlet pipe 2, so that the flow direction of the exhaust gas is opposite to the flow direction of the coolant. Since the temperature of the gas gradually decreases in the condenser 10, while the temperature of the condensate gradually increases in the condenser 10, when the high-temperature exhaust gas enters the condenser 10, it exchanges heat with the relatively high-temperature coolant to cool down. As it is transported, it gradually exchanges heat with the lower-temperature coolant, which can ensure the cooling effect on the exhaust gas.

[0034] To achieve stable exhaust gas intake, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the air intake assembly includes a filter cartridge 5 and two air supply pipes 6. The side of the filter cartridge 5 is connected to one end of the two air supply pipes 6, and the other end of the two air supply pipes 6 is inserted into the interior of the cylinder 1 and connected to the two air intake pipes 13 respectively. The connection method is set to be detachable to facilitate the removal and cleaning of the condenser cylinder 10. The filter cartridge 5 is equipped with a filter unit to filter the exhaust gas entering the air supply pipe 6, filtering out solid impurities in the exhaust gas, such as sodium salt residues, to prevent solid impurities from remaining in the condenser cylinder 10 during the condensation process, which would shorten the cleaning cycle.

[0035] To facilitate easy replacement of the filter unit, the filter unit is designed to be inserted into the filter cylinder 5 from one end. The filter unit is configured as a connecting frame 7 and a filter element 8. One end of the connecting frame 7 can seal one end of the filter cylinder 5, and the other end is used to install the filter element 8. One end of the connecting frame 7 is inserted into the filter cylinder 5 and threadedly connected to the filter cylinder 5. That is, an external thread is provided on the connecting frame 7, and an internal thread matching the external thread is provided on the inner wall of the filter cylinder 5.

[0036] To prevent pollution caused by sodium azide tail gas leakage when replacing the filter unit, a pipe connector 9 is connected to the filter cartridge 5. When the filter unit needs to be replaced, first close the tail gas valve to cut off the tail gas input, connect the pipe connector 9 to the external air pump, start the air pump to deliver air, replace the gas in the filter cartridge 5, and replace the filter unit after a period of replacement.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
