Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of defoaming equipment, and in particular relates to a defoaming device for an evaporation crystallization system. Background Technology
[0002] MVR evaporation crystallization systems are widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and environmental protection fields due to their high efficiency and energy-saving characteristics. Among them, the gas-liquid separation equipment is a key component, responsible for effectively separating the secondary steam generated by evaporation from the concentrated liquid, ensuring the stable operation of the steam compressor.
[0003] Currently, gas-liquid separators in MVR systems mostly employ traditional structures such as gravity settling, centrifugal separation, or wire mesh demisters. However, traditional demisters are not adaptable to complex materials (including crystalline particles, high salt content, or organic matter) and are prone to failure due to scaling or corrosion. For example, wire mesh demisters are easily clogged by salt droplets, requiring frequent cleaning. However, simply spraying the wire mesh from the outside is not very effective, and adding external spraying equipment can hinder demister assembly, making demister replacement and maintenance inconvenient and compromising the demisting performance of the wire mesh demister. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] A defoaming device for an evaporation crystallization system, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the device includes a tank body 1, a cover plate 12 mounted on top of the tank body 1, and an air inlet pipe 10 mounted below the tank body 1. The cover plate 12 is detachably mounted on the tank body 1. A detachable demister is installed inside the tank body 1. A positioning ring 2 for supporting the demister is provided on the tank body 1 at a position corresponding to the lower part of the demister. An exhaust pipe 11 is provided on the tank body 1 at a position corresponding to the upper part of the demister. The demister includes a base frame 3 and a wire mesh 4 mounted on the base frame 3. A connecting pipe 8 is provided in the middle of the base frame 3, and the wire mesh 4 is connected to the connecting pipe 8. The connecting pipe 8 has a plurality of inner spray holes 15 corresponding to the mounting hole 17. One end of the connecting pipe 8 passing through the mounting hole 17 is provided with a detachable spray hood 5. The spray hood 5 also has a plurality of air vents 18 corresponding to the position above the wire mesh 4. The spray hood 5 has a plurality of outer spray holes 16 on one side facing the wire mesh 4, and a liquid supply pipe 6 on the other side to supply liquid to the outer spray holes 16 and the connecting pipe 8. One end of the liquid supply pipe 6 is attached to the spray hood 5, and the other end passes through the cover plate 12. The air inlet pipe 10 and the exhaust pipe 11 are both fixed to the tank body 1 and are connected to the tank body 1.
[0027] Specifically, the liquid supply pipe 6 is fixed to the cover plate 12, the connecting pipe 8 is threaded to the liquid supply pipe 6, and the cover plate 12 is flanged to the tank body 1. This connection method allows for detachable connections between the connecting pipe 8 and the liquid supply pipe 6, and between the cover plate 12 and the tank body 1. Those skilled in the art can also select other suitable detachable connection methods according to actual needs to achieve detachable connections between the connecting pipe 8 and the liquid supply pipe 6, and between the cover plate 12 and the tank body 1; these will not be elaborated upon here. In actual use, by using the detachable cover plate 12, operators can first remove the cover plate 12, and then detach the spray hood 5 from the connecting pipe 8. Operators can first use the cover plate 12 to remove the demister from the tank body 1 for disassembly, or they can directly rotate the cover plate 12 and rotate the liquid supply pipe 6 to achieve disassembly. This makes operation more convenient and reduces the difficulty of replacing and maintaining the demister.
[0028] In practical applications, the liquid supply pipe 6 is fixed on the spray hood 5. The spray hood 5 has a liquid guiding cavity 7 for connecting the liquid supply pipe 6 and the outer spray hole 16. The connecting pipe 8 is fixed on the base frame 3. The wire mesh 4 can be made of corrosion-resistant metal wire mesh 4 such as titanium alloy wire mesh 4. The base frame 3 has through holes 19 for easy ventilation. By fitting the wire mesh 4 onto the connecting column, not only can the wire mesh 4 be limited and fixed, ensuring that the wire mesh 4 can continuously defoam the airflow flowing upward through the base frame 3, but also by using an external liquid supply device to pump cleaning fluid into the liquid supply pipe 6, the wire mesh 4 can be sprayed and cleaned in all directions using the inner spray hole 15 and the outer spray hole 16, which is beneficial to improving the defoaming effect of the wire mesh 4 and reducing the frequency of replacement and maintenance of the wire mesh 4.
[0029] Preferably, the base frame 3 is provided with positioning blocks 13, and the positioning ring 2 is provided with positioning grooves 14 that cooperate with the positioning blocks 13. Specifically, at least two positioning blocks 13 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the base frame 3, and the positioning grooves 14 are provided one-to-one with the positioning blocks 13. For example, two positioning blocks 13 can be evenly arranged, each positioning block 13 is fixed on the base frame 3, and two corresponding positioning grooves 14 are also provided. By utilizing the cooperation between the positioning blocks 13 and the positioning grooves 14, the stability of the base frame 3 on the positioning ring 2 is improved, and it is convenient for the operator to detachably assemble the liquid supply pipe 6 and the connecting pipe 8 by rotating the cover plate 12, which helps to further reduce the assembly difficulty of the demister.
[0030] In practical applications, the positioning groove 14 is an arc groove. By using an arc groove as the positioning groove 14, the operator can easily rotate and adjust the position of the cover plate 12 while the base frame 3 can rotate, which facilitates the assembly of the liquid supply pipe 6 and the connecting pipe 8, so as to achieve a detachable connection between the cover plate 12 and the tank body 1.
[0031] Optionally, the positioning ring 2 can be fixed on the tank body 1, and a reinforcing plate can also be fixed on the tank body 1 at the position corresponding to the lower part of the positioning ring 2 to improve the stability of the positioning ring 2 in the tank body 1 and ensure that the positioning ring 2 can continuously and stably support the demister.
[0032] Preferably, the end of the connecting pipe 8 that passes through the base frame 3 is provided with a removable sealing cap 9. At least two demisters are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the tank body 1, and the supply pipes 6 on adjacent demisters are connected by the connecting pipe 8. Exemplarily, the sealing cap 9 and the connecting pipe 8 can also be connected by threads, so that the connecting pipe 8 can be connected to the supply pipe 6 after the sealing cap 9 is removed. Those skilled in the art can also choose other suitable methods to install the sealing cap 9 according to actual needs, which will not be elaborated here.
[0033] In practical applications, two demisters can be installed at intervals. The tank 1 can adopt a split structure, including an upper tank 1 and a lower tank 1 for installing the two demisters respectively. The upper tank 1 and the lower tank 1 can be connected by a flange to facilitate the disassembly of the demisters. The liquid supply pipe 6 of the upper demister is fixed on the cover plate 12, and the liquid supply pipe 6 of the lower demister is connected to the connecting pipe 8 of the upper demister to realize the liquid supply of the upper and lower demisters.
[0034] The defogging device for an evaporation crystallization system described in this invention can perform all-around spray cleaning of the wire mesh through a built-in spray hood, which helps to improve the defogging effect of the wire mesh and reduces the frequency of wire mesh replacement and maintenance. At the same time, by adopting a detachable spray hood structure, operators can easily assemble and disassemble the spray hood and the wire mesh, reducing the difficulty of replacing and maintaining this defogging device.
[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
