Abstract
Description
An energy-saving polymer polyol sampling device Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of polymer polyol sampling technology, specifically an energy-saving polymer polyol sampling device. Background Technology
[0002] Polymer polyols are a new type of modified polyether polyol that has emerged with the development of the application field of polyurethane foam. At present, the main polyether polyol used in China is the polyether polyol based on flexible foam. In the presence of stabilizers, the polymer monomers styrene and acrylonitrile are produced in the polyether medium by batch or continuous methods to produce polymer polyol containing polyacrylonitrile (or styrene and acrylonitrile copolymer) particles. Since polymer polyols retain the original flexibility of the polyether chain and increase the good mechanical properties (such as rigidity and flame retardancy) of the branched vinyl polymer, the application field of high solid content polymer polyol products has been expanding in the past ten years. In the production and storage process of polymer polyols, it is necessary to continuously take samples for analysis to ensure that accurate samples are obtained in the production process and to monitor the quality of the products. Since the conversion rate of polymer monomers styrene and acrylonitrile in the reaction process does not reach 100%, from a safety point of view, manual sampling may pose the following risks: (1) Physical injury: Polymer polyols are usually viscous liquids. When manually sampling, improper operation may cause splashing, which may adhere to the skin and cause irritation or injury. (2) Health Risks: Some types of polymer polyols may contain unreacted monomers or other chemical substances, and long-term or large-scale exposure may have health effects. Furthermore, after cooling, polymer polyol products have high viscosity, and existing sampling devices may become clogged when handling high-viscosity materials or materials containing solid particles, affecting sampling efficiency. In addition, with increasing emphasis on environmental protection, there is a growing demand for accurate and comprehensive online analytical instruments. However, online analyzers are expensive, complex to operate, not suitable for online analysis of all indicators, have inaccurate data, and are difficult to maintain offline, preventing the widespread adoption of online samplers in all chemical industries. Therefore, an energy-saving polymer polyol sampling device is proposed. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0015] Example: Please refer to Figure 1. This utility model provides a technical solution: an energy-saving polymer polyol sampling device, including a sealed sampling chamber 7 with a transparent window and a side door. The sealed sampling chamber 7 is provided with a medium inlet pipeline 102. A sampling tube 14 is connected to the connection between the medium outlet pipeline 101 and the medium inlet pipeline 102. The sampling tube 14 is connected to the connection between the medium outlet pipeline 101 and the medium outlet pipeline 101. The sampling tube 14 is connected to a nitrogen purging pipeline 301. The sampling port of the sampling tube 14 is provided with a threaded interface that matches the sampling bottle 5. The sampling bottle 5 is covered with a polyurethane molded sampling bottle film sleeve 6. The sealed sampling chamber 7 is also connected to a tail gas absorption pipeline 401.
[0016] A valve C1-3 is installed at one end of the medium feed line 102 near the medium discharge line 101, a valve B1-2 is installed at one end of the medium discharge line 101 near the valve C1-3, and a valve A1-1 is installed at one end of the sampling pipe 14 near the valve B1-2.
[0017] One end of the medium discharge pipeline 101 is provided with a medium outlet 1.
[0018] One end of the medium feed line 102 is provided with a medium inlet 2, and a thermometer 12 is installed on the medium feed line 102.
[0019] One end of the nitrogen purging line 301 is provided with a nitrogen purging port 3, and the nitrogen purging line 301 is equipped with a nitrogen line check valve 8, a nitrogen self-regulating valve 9, a nitrogen manual valve 10 and a pressure gauge 11.
[0020] One end of the exhaust gas absorption pipeline 401 is provided with an vent 4, and a multi-stage activated carbon adsorption system 13 is installed on the exhaust gas absorption pipeline 401.
[0021] Energy-saving principle: Polymer polyols have high viscosity at low temperatures. To prevent burns to operators, the sampling point typically needs to be cooled. However, when the cooled polymer polyol is sent to the quality control department for analysis, it needs to be reheated for accurate weighing. This sampling device does not involve cooling of the heat medium; instead, the sampling bottle is treated with a special material. Rigid polyurethane foam is molded onto the outside of the glass sampling bottle, forming a 1cm thick insulating film. Therefore, when sent to the quality control department, the low-temperature, viscous polymer polyol does not need to be reheated, effectively saving energy.
[0022] Operating principle:
[0023] Step 1: The operator opens the side door of the sealed sampling chamber 7 and rotates the 250ml / 500ml sampling bottle with the polyurethane molded sampling bottle membrane sleeve 6 onto the threaded interface. Then close the side door of the sealed sampling chamber 7.
[0024] Step 2: Open the nitrogen manual valve 10 on the sampler panel and check the pressure gauge 11 on the sampler panel to confirm that the nitrogen pipeline is functioning correctly. The normal operating range of pressure gauge 11 is 0.1-0.3 MPa, which is controlled by the operator manually adjusting the nitrogen manual valve 10. Nitrogen enters the sampling bottle 5 through the nitrogen purging line 301 to replace the air inside the sampling bottle 5. The purged exhaust gas then goes to the multi-stage activated carbon adsorption system 13 through the exhaust gas absorption line 401, and the adsorbed gas is released through the vent. The time for the operator to purge the sampling bottle with nitrogen is approximately 1 minute, which can be extended or shortened depending on the actual situation.
[0025] Step 3: After purging the sampling bottle with nitrogen, the operator switches the valve on the panel from the closed position to the circulation position. At this time, valves C1-3 and B1-2 are in the open position, and valve A1-1 is in the closed position. The operator can observe whether material is entering the sampling line through the thermometer 12 on the medium inlet line 102. When the temperature is lower than the normal value, it can be determined that the line is blocked. The collected polymer polyol returns to the flash tank filter from the outlet of the flash tank filter through the medium inlet line 102, valve C1-3, valve B1-2, and the medium outlet line 101. This cycle is repeated for 5-10 minutes to ensure that the collected sample is representative.
[0026] Step 4: After the cycle time is satisfied, the operator switches the valve on the panel from the cycle position to the sampling position. At this time, valves A1-1 and C1-3 are in the open position, and valve B1-2 is in the closed position. The polymer polyol flows from the medium feed line 102 into the sampling bottle. The operator observes the amount in the sampling bottle through the transparent window of the sealed sampling chamber 7. When the sample amount in the sampling bottle reaches or slightly exceeds the top of the polyurethane molded sampling bottle membrane sleeve, the valve on the panel can be switched from the sampling position to the closed position. During the entire sampling process, the nitrogen self-regulating valve 9 can automatically regulate the pressure fluctuation during sampling, so that the pressure is stabilized within the range of 0.1-0.3 MPa. Since the conversion rate of the monomers styrene and acrylonitrile of the polymer polyol in the reaction process does not reach 100%, during the sampling process, the unreacted monomers (styrene and acrylonitrile) will be adsorbed by the multi-stage activated carbon adsorption system 13 after the tail gas absorption line 401, and will not be inhaled by the operator.
[0027] Step 5: The operator opens the side door of the sealed sampling chamber 7, removes the 250ml / 500ml sampling bottle from the threaded interface, and screws on the cap. The sampling process is complete; close the nitrogen hand valve 10.
[0028] The above embodiments merely illustrate the implementation of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
