Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of deionized water preparation technology, and in particular to a detachable ion exchanger. Background Technology

[0002] An ion exchanger is a device that uses its internal ion exchange resin to remove specific ions from a solution. It is widely used in water treatment, chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, food processing and other fields.

[0003] The core principle of an ion exchanger is to achieve the separation, purification, or concentration of ions by reversibly exchanging functional groups on the ion exchange resin with ions in the solution, thereby obtaining deionized water. Therefore, the ion exchange resin is the core functional material of an ion exchanger.

[0004] However, as ion exchangers are used for longer periods, the performance of the ion exchange resin gradually declines. Therefore, regularly replacing the ion exchange resin is a key measure to ensure the efficient operation of the system. However, most ion exchangers are integrated units, especially those used in cooling towers, which are often designed as a single unit integrated with the cooling tower. Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to remove and open the ion exchanger from the cooling tower, making the actual replacement of the ion exchange resin difficult to achieve. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a detachable ion exchanger that facilitates the replacement of its internal ion exchange resin.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following solution:

[0007] This application provides a detachable ion exchanger, which includes: an ion exchanger body, a stainless steel filter element, an outlet base, an exhaust valve, and multiple quick-connect fittings.

[0008] The ion exchanger cylinder has a water inlet for connecting to tap water.

[0009] The stainless steel filter element is fixed to the interior of the ion exchanger body through the bottom opening of the ion exchanger body. The stainless steel filter element is used to hold the ion exchange resin and separate the ion exchange resin from the deionized water.

[0010] The water outlet base is fixed to the bottom opening of the ion exchanger cylinder via the quick-connect fitting, and the water outlet base is used to output the deionized water;

[0011] The exhaust valve is fixed to the top opening of the ion exchanger cylinder via the quick-connect fitting, and the exhaust valve is used to discharge excess gas inside the ion exchanger cylinder.

[0012] Optionally, the water inlet is connected to an external water tank via a connecting pipe; the water outlet base is connected to a cooling tower via a connecting pipe.

[0013] Optionally, the ion exchanger cylinder and the connecting pipes are both made of stainless steel.

[0019] According to the specific embodiments provided in this application, the following technical effects are disclosed:

[0020] The detachable ion exchanger of this application is a stand-alone device, connected to external equipment via an inlet and an outlet base. To facilitate disassembly, the entire device is divided into three parts: an exhaust valve, the ion exchanger body, and the outlet base. Different quick-connect fittings are used to secure the exhaust valve to the top opening of the ion exchanger body and the outlet base to the bottom opening of the ion exchanger body. For subsequent replacement of the ion exchange resin, simply opening the upper and lower quick-connect fittings allows for quick replacement. Furthermore, this application includes a stainless steel filter element to hold and isolate the ion exchange resin. This stainless steel filter element is also fixed to the bottom opening of the ion exchanger body. Therefore, by opening the quick-connect fitting at the bottom of the ion exchanger, the ion exchange resin can be easily removed from the stainless steel filter element, enabling quick and convenient replacement of the ion exchange resin.

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] An ion exchanger is a device used to produce deionized water. Raw water (tap water) can be directly connected to the inlet, and the internal ion exchange resin adsorbs and filters impurities to obtain deionized water that meets the requirements. Currently, the most commonly used ion exchangers are the PTFE ion exchanger 835, which connects to external equipment via PVC reinforced hoses. In practical use, this not only presents the problem of difficult ion exchange resin replacement, but also results in a continuously decreasing lifespan due to material limitations.

[0027] The purpose of this application is to provide a detachable ion exchanger that facilitates the replacement of its internal ion exchange resin.

[0028] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a detachable ion exchanger is provided, which includes: an ion exchanger body 1, a stainless steel filter element 2, an outlet base 3, an exhaust valve 4, and multiple quick-connect fittings 5.

[0030] Specifically, an inlet is provided on the ion exchanger cylinder 1. Figure 1The inlet (located at the upper right corner of the ion exchanger body) is used to connect to tap water. In actual use, the ion exchanger body 1 is used to store deionized water and ion exchange resin. The inlet is connected to an external water tank via a connecting pipe. Both the ion exchanger body 1 and the connecting pipe are made of stainless steel.

[0031] The stainless steel filter element 2 is fixed inside the ion exchanger body 1 through the bottom opening of the ion exchanger body 1. The stainless steel filter element 2 is used to hold the ion exchange resin and separate the ion exchange resin from the deionized water (and also prevent the ion exchange resin from flowing into the unit through the connecting pipeline). In a preferred embodiment, the stainless steel filter element 2 is fixed inward at the bottom opening of the ion exchanger body 1 by threads or clips.

[0032] The water outlet base 3 is fixed to the bottom opening of the ion exchanger body 1 via a quick-connect fitting 5. The water outlet base 3 is used to output deionized water and is connected to the cooling tower via connecting pipes. The water outlet base 3 is also equipped with a stainless steel filter element and a water outlet nozzle. The stainless steel filter element is used for secondary filtration of the deionized water, and the water outlet nozzle is used to discharge the filtered deionized water. In a preferred embodiment, the water outlet base 3, the water outlet nozzle, and the connecting pipes are all made of stainless steel.

[0033] The exhaust valve 4 is fixed to the top opening of the ion exchanger body 1 via a quick-connect fitting 5. The exhaust valve 4 is used to discharge excess gas inside the ion exchanger body 1. In a preferred embodiment, the detachable ion exchanger includes two pairs of quick-connect fittings 5. One pair of quick-connect fittings 5 ​​is used to fix the outlet base 3 to the bottom opening of the ion exchanger body 1, and the other pair of quick-connect fittings 5 ​​is used to fix the exhaust valve 4 to the top opening of the ion exchanger body 1. The quick-connect fittings 5 ​​are φ108 blind-plate type stainless steel sanitary quick-connect fittings.

[0034] Based on the above analysis, the detachable ion exchanger provided in this application is an auxiliary cooling and protection device for large electrical equipment, suitable for high-power water-cooled silicon rectifiers, frequency converters, water-cooled induction coils, or applications with strict water quality requirements. During operation, this device stably outputs deionized water to the main unit at rated temperature, pressure, and flow rate, effectively preventing scaling and electro-corrosion in the main unit's cooling water channels, ensuring safe and reliable operation of the main unit within its rated operating temperature. Furthermore, the detachable ion exchanger allows for resin replacement without shutting down the system; simply disconnecting the bypass circuit is sufficient when replacing the resin.

[0035] In summary, this application has the following main advantages:

[0036] (1) The top and bottom of the detachable ion exchanger are made of stainless steel quick-connect fittings, which are easy to disassemble and replace the ion exchange resin.

[0037] (2) The detachable ion exchanger and its connecting pipes are all made of stainless steel, which enhances the service life of each component.

[0038] (3) The entire equipment is safe, stable, and has a long service life, making it easy to maintain and repair later.
