[0003] Common treatment technologies include condensation technology, combustion treatment, activated carbon adsorption, and solvent absorption. Condensation technology, in particular, has been a focus of research due to its ability to recover usable solvents. Common condensation technologies include vapor compression refrigeration, vapor absorption refrigeration, vapor jet refrigeration, and absorption refrigeration. These commonly used technologies can handle conditions with stable waste gas volumes and relatively stable VOC concentrations, but they cannot adjust the required refrigeration temperature and power in a timely manner according to the waste gas volume, type, and concentration, resulting in poor regulation performance. However, some enterprises generate different types and concentrations of VOC waste gas during production due to changes in products and processes. Using refrigeration technologies that cannot adjust refrigeration efficiency and temperature may lead to increased operating costs and low recovery efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0024] Reference Figure 1-2This embodiment provides a volatile organic compound (VOC) recovery system based on electrode cryogenicity, including a cryogenic system composed of a VOC recovery device based on electrode cryogenicity, a solution storage tank, and an adsorption tower. More than 95% of the VOCs condensed by the cryogenic system enter the solution storage tank in the form of condensate, and the remaining uncondensed gas is further adsorbed by the adsorption tower to ensure that the waste gas can meet the emission standards.
[0025] Furthermore, the volatile organic compound recovery device based on electrode cryogenicity includes a cryogenic zone for condensing volatile organic compounds, heat dissipation zones located on both sides of the cryogenic zone, and the cryogenic zone and the heat dissipation zones are connected by a semiconductor component chip area.
[0026] Specifically, the semiconductor component area includes a cold-end heat pipe plate, a hot-end heat pipe plate, and multiple semiconductor electrode groups installed between them. The semiconductor component is composed of N-type and P-type semiconductor particles arranged alternately. The N-type and P-type semiconductors are connected by copper and aluminum metal conductors to form a thermocouple, which is installed between ceramic sheets, providing insulation and good thermal conductivity. To install the semiconductor electrode groups between the cold-end and hot-end heat pipe plates, the semiconductor electrode groups are installed between the cold-end and hot-end heat pipe plates using thermally conductive resin. The thermally conductive resin material can be polycarbonate resin, polybutylene terephthalate resin, polyacetal resin, nylon resin, etc. When a direct current passes through the thermocouple composed of P-type and N-type semiconductor materials, a heating and cooling phenomenon is generated at both ends. The cold end is connected to the cold-end heat pipe plate, and the hot end is connected to the hot-end heat pipe plate.
[0027] The semiconductor component area is also electrically connected to a gas detection device in the exhaust gas pipeline. This gas detection device can detect the volume, concentration, and type of exhaust gas in the pipeline and output a signal to the semiconductor component area. The semiconductor component area receives the signal and controls the number of energized groups of the semiconductor electrode array accordingly, thereby controlling the cooling area of the cold-end heat pipe plate. The cold-end heat pipe plate is connected to the cryogenic zone for cooling. The cryogenic zone includes a liquid-cooled heat exchanger, which is a finned heat exchanger to increase the heat exchange area. The fins of the heat exchanger are transverse fins and can be in the form of corrugated plates, louvers, etc. The cold-end heat pipe plates on both sides of the cryogenic zone are connected to the liquid-cooled heat exchanger. Exhaust gas entering the cryogenic zone is condensed upon contact with the fins, forming condensate. To further improve heat transfer efficiency, the cryogenic zone also includes a rectifier baffle.
[0028] The waste gas volume and properties are detected by the gas detection equipment in the waste gas pipeline. Based on the signal from the detection results, the number of energized groups of the semiconductor electrode assembly is controlled. The cooling power can be adjusted by using series and parallel connection of similar electrode stacks. The range of working semiconductors can be adjusted in a timely manner according to the processing conditions, ranging from a few milliwatts to tens of thousands of watts. The temperature adjustment range can be from positive temperature 90℃ to negative temperature 130℃.
[0029] When processing low-volume, low-concentration exhaust gases, the number of energized semiconductor electrode arrays can be reduced to decrease cooling efficiency and thus lower operating costs. Conversely, when processing high-volume, high-concentration exhaust gases, the number of energized semiconductor electrode arrays can be increased to improve cooling efficiency.
[0030] When the semiconductor component area is energized, the semiconductor electrode assembly generates a hot end. To dissipate the heat from this hot end, a heat pipe plate is connected to the heat dissipation area. The heat dissipation area includes a heat exchanger, which is a finned heat exchanger to increase the heat exchange area. The finned heat exchanger consists of finned tubes, a tube box, and a frame. The connection between the pipes and fins is welded, significantly reducing operating costs. The finned tubes can be straight fins, corrugated fins, louvered fins, or spiral fins. The finned tubes in the heat dissipation area are transversely shaped. Aluminum fins can be connected to the main tube and bent into various shapes. The heat pipe plate is connected to the heat exchanger in the heat dissipation area to dissipate heat from the hot end of the semiconductor electrode assembly. To further increase heat exchange efficiency and dissipate heat from the heat dissipation area, a fan is also included.
[0031] To facilitate the discharge of condensate from the cryogenic zone into the solvent storage tank, a funnel-shaped outlet is provided at the lower end of the cryogenic zone and connected to the solvent storage tank via a conveying device. This allows the condensed condensate to be pumped to the solvent storage tank in a timely manner. The adsorption tower is filled with activated carbon to adsorb uncondensed volatile organic compounds. The adsorbent is replaced periodically after adsorption saturation.
[0032] In order to further reduce the operating energy consumption of the cryogenic system, the recovery system also includes a heat recovery device. The exhaust gas pipeline is connected to the cryogenic system through the heat recovery device, and the gas outlet of the cryogenic zone is connected to the adsorption tower through the heat recovery device.
[0033] The waste gas entering the heat recovery device from the exhaust gas pipeline exchanges heat with the gas entering the heat recovery device from the gas outlet of the cryogenic zone, thereby pre-cooling the waste gas entering the exhaust gas pipeline and reducing the energy consumption of the waste gas during condensation operation in the cryogenic system. The portion of the waste gas that has undergone heat exchange enters the adsorption tower for adsorption. The heat recovery device uses a plate-fin heat exchanger.
[0034] The operation process of the recycling system in this embodiment is as follows:
[0035] The exhaust gas generated in the workshop is pre-cooled by the induced draft fan and then enters the heat recovery device. After passing through the rectifier baffle, the airflow enters the deep cooling zone of the recovery device evenly. After treatment, more than 95% of the VOCs are condensed into the solvent storage tank in the form of condensate. Some of the uncondensed VOCs enter the heat recovery device for heat exchange and then pass through the adsorption tower for further adsorption, ensuring that the VOCs in the wastewater can meet the emission standards.
[0036] The recovery system in this embodiment can adjust the range of working semiconductor electrode groups and adjust the cooling power in a timely manner according to the exhaust gas under different operating conditions. It requires no refrigerant, can operate continuously, has no pollution sources or rotating parts, does not produce a rotational effect, operates without vibration or noise, and has a long lifespan. High-precision temperature control can be achieved through input current control, and with the addition of temperature detection and control methods, remote control, programmable control, and computer control can be realized, greatly improving processing efficiency. The entire treatment process organically integrates recovery and compliant emission, is simple and efficient, has low overall treatment costs, and reduces operating costs through solvent recovery.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the design concept of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to the present utility model by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present utility model using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present utility model.
