Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of heat exchange, and in particular relates to a condensate treatment device for a skid-mounted heat exchange system. Background Technology
[0002] In skid-mounted heat exchange systems, condensation is prone to occur in the areas where heat and cold alternate. Most systems use condensation diversion to handle this, which is not proactive. In such cases, condensation is already present in the pipes, and maintaining this state for a long time can easily lead to a decrease in service life.
[0003] Some active condensation technologies rely on water falling naturally within the condensation unit, which is inefficient, consumes a lot of power, and is not economical. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose a condensate treatment device for skid-mounted heat exchange systems to solve the problems of low condensate treatment efficiency and high power consumption.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a condensate treatment device for a skid-mounted heat exchange system, comprising:
[0006] The outer shell is a hollow shell with a condensate collection part rotatably connected inside for condensing water. The side near the ground is connected to the water collection part.
[0007] The drain section is slidably connected to the condensate collection section and is used to slide on the condensate collection section and push the condensate collection section toward the water collection section when it moves in a circular motion with the condensate collection section.
[0008] The drive unit is used to drive the condensate collection unit to rotate.
[0009] Furthermore, the moisture collection section is equipped with an anti-evaporation channel to guide condensate into the interior of the moisture collection section and reduce the evaporation rate.
[0010] Furthermore, the anti-evaporation channel consists of multiple staggered partitions with a certain angle of inclination.
[0011] Furthermore, the condensate collection section has an axially extending ejector channel in the middle, and a jet section is coaxially arranged inside the ejector channel for jetting within the ejector channel.
[0012] Furthermore, the outlet end of the ejector channel along the jet direction is provided with a guide section, and the diameter of the outlet end of the guide section is larger than the diameter of the ejector channel.
[0013] Furthermore, the water collection section is equipped with a drain pipe, and a filter screen is installed at the connection between the drain pipe and the water collection section.
[0014] Furthermore, the drain pipe is connected to the pressurizing pipe, the pressurizing pipe is connected to the outlet pipe, and the pressurizing pipe is provided with a pressurizing part, which is used to block the outlet pipe and pressurize the drain pipe when it is moved.
[0015] Furthermore, the pressurizing part, the drain pipe, and the pressurizing pipe have the same diameter, and a sealing part is provided on the outer wall of the pressurizing part.
[0016] Furthermore, the pressurizing part is connected to the movable end of the linear drive assembly, which is used to drive the pressurizing part to move.
[0017] Furthermore, the linear drive assembly is a hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] 1. This device increases the contact frequency between the condensate collection section and the airflow by rotating. At the same time, during the rotation of the condensate collection section, the drainage section will slide along the condensate collection section under the action of gravity. During the sliding process, the condensate is scraped, so that the water is quickly separated from the condensate collection section and collected in the water collection section. This improves efficiency and does not require additional power. The separation process is accelerated by gravity, which has good economic benefits.
[0020] 2. This device, through the cooperation of the ejector channel and the jet section, and based on the flow-expanding effect of the guide section, forms a gas flow guiding effect within the outer shell. Combined with the condensate collection section rotating at a certain frequency, it improves the condensation efficiency.
[0021] 3. This device, through the periodic operation of the pressurizing part, can induce periodic pressure changes in the drain pipe, thereby activating the connection between the drain pipe and the water collection part and preventing directional blockage. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0035] Referring to the accompanying drawings, this embodiment describes a condensate treatment device for a skid-mounted heat exchange system, comprising:
[0036] The outer shell 1 is a hollow shell, and a condensate collection part 3 is rotatably connected inside it for condensing water. The near-ground side is connected to the water collection part 2.
[0037] Specifically, the outer casing 1 is cylindrical. This design helps reduce air resistance during airflow, and the condensate, after falling, is easily guided along the curved wall to the water collection section 2. The water collection section 2 is specifically a water tank for collecting condensate. The condensate collection section 3 is specifically a plate made of a material that promotes condensation and reduces sliding resistance. The plates are arranged facing the airflow. Multiple plates can be evenly distributed around the circumference of the shaft, or multiple plates can be arranged side by side, depending on the actual needs.
[0038] The drain section 4 is slidably connected to the condensate collection section 3. It slides on the condensate collection section 3 during its circumferential movement and pushes the condensate collection section 3 towards the water collection section 2. Specifically, the drain section 4 is a slider that mates with the condensate collection section 3. The slider passes through a groove that mates with the condensate collection section 3, allowing it to slide smoothly onto the condensate collection section 3. To prevent the slider from slipping off the condensate collection section 3, a limiting block is provided at the end of the condensate collection section 3. Openings are provided on the limiting block along the radial direction of the condensate collection section 3. The number of openings is arranged reasonably according to actual needs. This design ensures that the slider does not slip during sliding, while the openings allow the scraped water to drain smoothly. Depending on actual needs, ball bearings or other components can also be installed between the drain section 4 and the condensate collection section 3 to reduce frictional resistance and ensure effective scraping and smooth sliding.
[0039] The drive unit 8 is used to drive the condensate collection unit 3 to rotate. Specifically, the drive unit 8 is a motor, the fixed position of which is selected according to actual needs. A pulley is installed at the rotating end of the motor, and a pulley is also installed on the rotating shaft of the condensate collection unit 3. The pulleys are connected by a belt. A speed reducer can also be installed in the middle if needed.
[0040] In this embodiment, the moisture collection unit 2 is provided with an anti-evaporation channel 9, which is used to guide condensate into the interior of the moisture collection unit 2 and reduce the evaporation rate.
[0041] Specifically, the anti-evaporation channel 9 consists of multiple staggered partitions with a certain angle of inclination. This arrangement prevents the water in the water collection section 2 from being directly exposed to the air, thereby reducing the evaporation rate. At the same time, the staggered partitions can prevent impurities from entering the water collection section 2, making the water collected in the water collection section 2 usable for secondary use and reducing the cost of secondary treatment.
[0042] In this embodiment, an ejector channel 5 is axially arranged through the middle of the condensate collection section 3. A jet section 6 is coaxially arranged within the ejector channel 5 for jetting gas within the ejector channel 5. Specifically, the ejector channel 5 is an opening with a certain diameter, and the jet section 6 is specifically configured as a nozzle capable of jetting high-pressure gas. The arrangement of the gas supply pipe and the fixing method of the nozzle are reasonably arranged according to actual conditions. After fixing, high-pressure gas is ejected through the nozzle, forming an ejection effect within the ejector channel 5.
[0043] In this embodiment, a guide section 7 is provided at the outlet end of the ejector channel 5 along the jet direction, and the diameter of the outlet end of the guide section 7 is larger than the diameter of the ejector channel 5. After the gas is diffused by the guide section 7, the ejector surface of the outer shell 1 can be increased, thereby increasing the gas flow rate through the outer shell 1 and increasing the radiation surface. In this way, the gas can contact the condensate collection section 3 at a faster speed, a larger flow rate, and a higher frequency, thus improving the condensation efficiency.
[0044] In this embodiment, the water collection unit 2 is provided with a drain pipe 10, and a filter screen is provided at the connection between the drain pipe 10 and the water collection unit 2. The filter screen can filter and prevent excessive impurities from flowing through subsequent pipelines.
[0045] In this embodiment, the drain pipe 10 is connected to the pressurizing pipe 11, and the pressurizing pipe 11 is connected to the outlet pipe 14. The pressurizing pipe 11 is equipped with a pressurizing part 12, which is used to pressurize the drain pipe 10 by blocking the outlet pipe 14 during movement. Specifically, the pressurizing part 12 is configured as a piston with a certain thickness. This thickness is sufficient to ensure complete disconnection between the outlet pipe 14 and the pressurizing pipe 11 when passing through the outlet pipe 14. At this time, the pressure is concentrated on the drain pipe 10, thereby forming a pulsating pressure within the drain pipe 10. This prevents the drain pipe 10 from being subjected to unidirectional water flow at the connection point with the water collection part 2, thus avoiding the membrane effect caused by temporary impurity accumulation at the filter screen, which could lead to drainage failure.
[0046] In this embodiment, the pressurizing part 12, the drain pipe 10, and the pressurizing pipe 11 have the same diameter, and a sealing part is provided on the outer wall of the pressurizing part 12. The sealing part is specifically a sealing ring, the purpose of which is to ensure that an effective seal can be formed between the pressurizing part 12 and the inner wall of the pipe, thereby ensuring that the pressurization process proceeds smoothly.
[0047] In this embodiment, the pressurizing part 12 is connected to the movable end of the linear drive assembly 13, and the linear drive assembly 13 is used to drive the pressurizing part 12 to move.
[0048] In this embodiment, the linear drive assembly 13 is a hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder. Specifically, the movable rod slidably passes through the wall of the pressurizing pipe 11 and connects to the pressurizing part 12, and a sliding seal needs to be ensured. Existing technology can be used for the sliding seal.
[0049] When in use, place this device in an area where condensation is likely to occur. The drive unit 8 rotates the condensation collection unit 3, while the jetting unit 6 periodically jets high-pressure gas, causing the gas to pass through the outer casing 1 in a large range and flow rate and come into contact with the condensation collection unit 3 to condense.
[0050] As the condensate collection section 3 rotates, the drainage section 4 reciprocates on the condensate collection section 3 under the action of gravity and circular motion. During the downward movement, it scrapes water down and pushes it onto the inner wall of the outer shell 1, and then flows along the inner wall of the outer shell 1 to the water collection section 2. Finally, it enters the water collection section 2 for collection along the anti-evaporation channel 9.
[0051] Water in the water collection section 2 flows along the drain pipe 10, pressurization pipe 11, and outlet pipe 14, and is filtered by the filter screen during this process. The pressurization section 12 is driven to move by the linear drive assembly 13 in a reciprocating motion at a fixed frequency, thereby creating pulsating pressure at the connection between the drain pipe 10 and the water collection section 2, thereby preventing the accumulation of impurities due to the unidirectional water flow and thus extending the effective filtration time.
[0052] The sensors, controllers, and control programs mentioned above are all existing technologies and will not be elaborated upon.
[0053] The embodiments of the present invention disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present invention. The embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the present invention to the specific implementations described. Many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of the present invention, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize the present invention.
