[0020] Preferably, the pneumatic T-type three-way ball valve 1 is a stainless steel pneumatic insulated T-type three-way ball valve, such as Q647F. This is an existing technology that uses external purchases, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0021] Preferably, the air pump model 4 is EMPGA-380V-08, which is an existing technology that is purchased externally, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0022] Preferably, the electric heating element 3-8 is a 316L stainless steel flange type, which is the existing technology and is purchased externally, so it will not be elaborated further.

[0023] Preferably, the pneumatic T-shaped three-way ball valve 1 is controlled by air pump 2 SP 620 EC-BL 24V. Air pump 4 and air pump 2 communicate with a Siemens PLC and a WINCC human-machine interface. This is an existing technology that uses externally sourced components, so it will not be elaborated further.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0025] Open the valve of the storage tank containing ammonium nitrate solution. The raw material enters the feed pipe 1-1 through one-way valve 1-2 and then into the pneumatic T-shaped three-way ball valve 1. It is then transported to the production process through the discharge pipe 1-3. At this time, the upper end of the pneumatic T-shaped three-way ball valve 1 is closed, and one-way valve 1-2 prevents backflow of the raw material. When the production process stops, close the storage tank valve. Control the rotation of the pneumatic T-shaped three-way ball valve 1 to connect the feed pipe 1-1 with the recovery pipe 2-1. Alternatively, it can be connected to a Siemens PLC via WINCC communication. The pneumatic T-shaped three-way ball valve 1 is rotated by the control system. This device is connected to an external power source. When the air pump 4 is powered on, compressed air is blown out through the air outlet and enters the feed pipe 1-1 through the one-way valve. The compressed air blows out the raw material remaining in the feed pipe 1-1 through the recovery pipe 2-1. The upper end of the recovery pipe 2-1 is fixedly connected to the storage tank, which can blow the raw material back into the storage tank to realize the recovery of raw materials. At the same time, it can also prevent the crystallization phenomenon caused by the raw material residue. The one-way valve can prevent the raw material from flowing back. It can also communicate with Siemens PLC through WINCC communication to control the air pump 4.

[0026] After the production process stops, the raw materials cease flow, and the temperature gradually decreases. This temperature drop causes crystallization of the ammonium nitrate aqueous solution. Simultaneously, purging the feed pipe 1-1 with compressed air lowers the temperature of any remaining ammonium nitrate solution inside. Water is injected into the water tank 3-1 through the water inlet 3-7. The electric heating element 3-8 is energized to heat the water. Once heating is complete, the motor 3-6 is energized, driving the spiral blades 3-5 to rotate via the rotating shaft 3-4. The rotation of the spiral blades 3-5 causes the water to flow downwards through the conveying pipe 3-3 and the inlet into the hot water pipe 2-2. The hot water pipe 2-2 provides insulation and heating for the recovery pipe 2-1. This process helps maintain the temperature of the raw materials and prevents crystallization. The hot water in the hot water pipe 2-2 flows back to the water tank 3-1 through the outlet to complete the circulation. The stainless steel ball 3-9 sinks to the bottom of the water due to gravity and rolls down along the water collection cover 3-2 into the conveying pipe 3-3. Then, the spiral blade 3-5 rotates, driving the water and the stainless steel ball 3-9 downward together and into the hot water pipe 2-2. The sponge wrapped around the stainless steel ball 3-9 can clean the inner wall of the hot water pipe 2-2 to prevent scale from corroding the hot water pipe 2-2 and affecting the flow of water. The stainless steel ball 3-9 enters the water tank 3-1 through the outlet with the water flow to complete the circulation.

[0027] The aluminum plate 2-3 can reflect the heat generated by the hot water pipe 2-2 back to the recovery pipe 2-1 to prevent heat dissipation. At the same time, the multi-cavity structure of the honeycomb plate 2-4 can insulate against the external air temperature, further increasing the heat preservation effect. The honeycomb plate 2-4 has excellent compressive strength and can protect the recovery pipe 2-1.

[0028] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
