Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0035] This application provides an ambient temperature vaporizer for liquid nitrogen preparation, which solves the problem in the prior art where the surface of the heat exchange tube bundle is prone to frost or ice formation when the ambient temperature vaporizer is running in a low-temperature environment, resulting in a significant decrease in heat exchange efficiency and potentially causing equipment failure and affecting normal operation.
[0036] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0037] Example 1: This utility model embodiment discloses an ambient temperature vaporizer for liquid nitrogen preparation, according to the attached... Figure 1-7 As shown, it includes a support frame 1, an inlet and outlet air pipe 2, a heat exchange tube bundle 3, and an anti-frost mechanism; the anti-frost mechanism includes a de-icing agent storage box 4, a conduit 5, a nozzle 6, and a pump set 7;
[0038] The support frame 1 serves as the basic support structure for the entire vaporizer, bearing the weight of the equipment and external loads to ensure its stability and safety. It is also equipped with mounting rails 8 and reinforcing frames 11, used for mounting and fixing the nozzles 6 and supporting the inlet and outlet air pipes 2, respectively.
[0039] The inlet and outlet gas pipe 2 is used for the entry and exit of liquid nitrogen and vaporized gas. It is connected to the heat exchange tube bundle 3. The inlet and outlet gas pipe 2 and the heat exchange tube bundle 3 are fixed to the support frame 1 by flanges and other connecting parts. The heat exchange tube bundle 3 is further reinforced by the reinforcement frame 11 to ensure the stability and sealing of the pipe under the action of liquid nitrogen flow and pressure.
[0040] The heat exchange tube bundle 3 is the core component of the vaporizer. It consists of multiple heat exchange tubes. Liquid nitrogen flows inside the tubes, while air flows outside. Heat is exchanged through the tube walls, causing the liquid nitrogen to vaporize.
[0041] An anti-frost mechanism is installed on the support frame 1 and is used to prevent frost from forming on the surface of the heat exchange tube bundle 3;
[0042] The de-icing agent storage box 4 is fixed to the bottom of the support frame 1 and is used to store de-icing agent. A filter cartridge 41 is located at its bottom, with a filter element body 42 that is movably engaged inside. This filter cartridge body 42 filters the de-icing agent, preventing impurities from entering the nozzle 6 and causing blockage. The threaded joint 421 on the side of the filter element body 42 facilitates connection to the filter cartridge 41, while the snap-fit joint 422 on the top facilitates the removal and replacement of the filter element.
[0043] One end of the conduit 5 is connected to the filter cartridge 41 at the bottom of the de-icing agent storage box 4, and the other end is connected to the nozzle 6 to deliver the filtered de-icing agent to the nozzle 6.
[0044] The nozzle 6 is mounted on the support frame 1 and located above the heat exchange tube bundle 3. It is connected to the mounting rail 8 via the sleeve 61 and fixed by the locking unit 9. It can spray the de-icing agent evenly on the surface of the heat exchange tube bundle 3 to prevent frost formation.
[0045] Pump unit 7 is installed on conduit 5 to provide power for the delivery of de-icing agent, enabling the de-icing agent to be smoothly delivered from de-icing agent storage box 4 to nozzle 6.
[0046] When operating this ambient air vaporizer for liquid nitrogen preparation, liquid nitrogen is first introduced into the heat exchange tube bundle 3 through the inlet / outlet gas pipe 2. The pump unit 7 is then started, allowing the de-icing agent in the de-icing agent storage box 4 to be delivered to the nozzle 6 through the conduit 5 and evenly sprayed onto the surface of the heat exchange tube bundle 3 to prevent frost formation. The liquid nitrogen gradually vaporizes within the heat exchange tube bundle 3 by absorbing heat from the air. Finally, the vaporized gas is discharged through the inlet / outlet gas pipe 2, completing the vaporization process. During equipment operation, the de-icing agent level and the spraying status of the nozzle 6 can be checked periodically, and de-icing agent can be replenished and the equipment maintained as needed.

[0054] The nozzle 6 is mounted on the support frame 1 and located above the heat exchange tube bundle 3, and the conduit 5 is connected to the nozzle 6.
[0055] Pump unit 7 is installed on conduit 5.
[0056] The support frame 1 is provided with a mounting rail 8 for supporting the nozzle 6, and the nozzle 6 is provided with a sleeve 61 that engages with the mounting rail 8. The sleeve 61 is provided with a locking unit 9.
[0057] Locking unit 9 includes:
[0058] Sleeve base 91 is provided on sleeve 61;
[0059] The card block 92 is movable and connected to the socket 91 and the mounting rail 8.
[0060] The sleeve 91 has an adjusting block 93 that is slidably connected inside to support the locking block 92. A bidirectional screw 94 is rotatably connected to the sleeve 91 and is threadedly connected to the adjusting block 93.
[0061] The sleeve 91 is provided with a limiting rod 95 for supporting the adjusting block 93.
[0062] A reinforcing frame 11 for supporting the inlet and outlet air pipes 2 is fixedly connected to the support frame 1.
