Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of compressed air operation technology, and specifically relates to a device for improving the operation quality of compressed air. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing modernization of industry, compressed air, as a cheap and clean power source, is widely used in fields such as industrial micro-technology, pharmaceutical research, textiles, and food processing. Compared with other power sources, in addition to the easy availability of raw materials, it also has advantages such as being non-toxic and harmless, non-flammable, easy to transport, and convenient to use.

[0003] The widespread use of compressed air in industry has made it one of the major energy consumers in modern industry. However, before post-processing equipment, compressed air often contains a large amount of moisture and solid particles. Direct use in equipment can cause corrosion and rust on pipes and metal parts, malfunction of pneumatic components and control instruments, and shorten the service life of equipment. In terms of process technology, compressed air is used in various industries such as chemical engineering and telecommunications, where the requirements for compressed air quality are relatively high.

[0004] In existing technology, each dryer in a drying station has a manual control gate valve and a pneumatic shut-off valve. When a single dryer's shut-off gate valve is being inspected, the control gate valve is closed. However, if the control gate valve does not close tightly, the dryer cannot be inspected. Compressed air is widely used, and since dryers require maintenance but cannot be stopped immediately, this can easily lead to equipment operating with defects, affecting compressed air quality, causing malfunctions in production equipment and instruments. Furthermore, the quality of compressed air supplied to all users along the entire heavy plate production line cannot be guaranteed, directly impacting production.

[0005] Furthermore, existing compressed air dryers allow compressed air to directly enter the drying station during intake, which cannot effectively filter out fine particulate impurities and pollutants mixed in with the air. Consequently, the air filtration effect cannot be improved, and ultimately, it is difficult to guarantee the quality of the gas output by the compressed air dryer, which has certain limitations.

[0006] In view of the above factors, a device is provided to improve the operating quality of compressed air, ensuring that the compressed air can operate stably with improved quality. The device adopts a series configuration to improve the air filtration effect, while the pre-treatment device pre-treats the compressed air to remove a large amount of moisture first, and then enters the adsorption dryer for deep drying, ultimately ensuring the quality of the gas output from the compressed air drying station. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for improving the quality of compressed air operation, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a device for improving the operating quality of compressed air, including a pretreatment device, wherein the pretreatment device is provided with at least two sets of air intake pipes connected to the drying station, and the drying station includes multiple sets of drying towers arranged in parallel;

[0009] The pretreatment device is connected to the medium-pressure steam pipeline in the plant area. The pretreatment device includes a gas storage section and a filtration section, which are connected in series.

[0010] The pretreatment device is housed in a movable box and is detachably connected to the air intake pipe of the drying station.

[0011] Furthermore, the detachable connection between the pretreatment device and the air intake pipe of the drying station is a flange bolt connection.

[0012] Furthermore, a compressed air bypass gate valve is installed between the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe of the drying station, and a compressed air inlet gate valve and a compressed air outlet gate valve are also installed on the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe.

[0013] The compressed air inlet gate valve and the compressed air outlet gate valve are located near one end of the pretreatment device.

[0014] Furthermore, the gas storage section of the pretreatment device includes a gas storage tank, which is connected to the filtration section via a connecting pipe;

[0015] The pretreatment device also includes a drying device connected in series with the filtration section.

[0016] Furthermore, the drying device includes a housing and a heat exchanger disposed within the housing. The heat exchanger is connected to the outlet of the cooling device via a pipe, and the inlet of the cooling device is connected to the inlet of the filter section.

[0017] Furthermore, the cooling device includes a refrigeration unit and a refrigerant pipeline connected to the refrigeration unit, the refrigerant pipeline being connected to the cooling box;

[0018] The refrigerant pipes are arranged in a spiral structure within the cooling box.

[0019] Furthermore, the filtration section includes at least two filtration forms, namely a fiber filtration group and an activated carbon filtration group.

[0020] The filtration section adopts a box structure, with fiber filter groups and activated carbon filter groups arranged alternately inside the box structure. The box structure is provided with an inlet and an outlet.

[0021] Furthermore, an ionization chamber is provided between the pretreatment device and the air inlet pipe of the drying station. An ionization plate is provided in the ionization chamber. The ionization plates are spaced apart and have several through holes. Each through hole is provided with a pointed body.

[0022] Furthermore, the medium-pressure steam pipeline in the plant area is connected to the heat exchanger, and a water distribution and drainage chamber is fixedly installed on the outlet pipeline of the cooling box, with a valve fixedly installed at the bottom of the water distribution and drainage chamber.

[0023] A method for applying a device to improve the operating quality of compressed air specifically includes the following steps;

[0024] Compressed air enters the storage tank in the storage section. The storage tank is connected to the filter section via a connecting pipe. After being filtered by the filter section, the compressed air enters the drying device for primary drying. The drying device cools the compressed air discharged from the air compressor, lowering its temperature below the dew point temperature. This causes the large amount of water vapor contained in the compressed air to condense into droplets and precipitate out. The drying device includes a housing and a heat exchanger installed inside the housing. The heat exchanger is connected to the outlet of the cooling device via a pipe, and the inlet of the cooling device is connected to the inlet of the filter section. The humid air at the inlet of the cooling device first enters the heat exchanger and is pre-cooled by the cold air of the compressed air cooled by the evaporator, thereby reducing the heat load of the refrigeration system and achieving the purpose of saving energy.

[0025] After being dried once, the compressed air enters the ionization chamber. To facilitate the treatment of the pre-treated compressed air by setting up the ionization chamber during use, the aforementioned ionization chamber is connected to an external high-voltage generator via a connecting line. The compressed air is sterilized by the ionization plate in the ionization chamber. The ionization plate has several evenly distributed through holes to facilitate the flow of compressed air. The through holes are circular, and a pointed body integrally formed with the ionization plate is fixedly set at the edge of the through hole. The pointed body has a triangular structure and extends outward from the through hole. Two or three pointed bodies are evenly distributed along the circumference of the through hole to increase the ionization effect.

[0026] After being sterilized, the compressed air enters the drying station for secondary treatment, and the secondary-treated compressed air is discharged through the outlet pipe.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0028] In order to facilitate the filtration of compressed air during use, this utility model includes at least two filtration forms, namely a fiber filtration group and an activated carbon filtration group.

After being filtered by the filter section 6, the compressed air enters the drying device 10 for primary drying. The drying device 10 cools and lowers the temperature of the compressed air discharged from the air compressor, reducing the temperature below the dew point temperature. This causes the large amount of water vapor contained in the compressed air to condense into droplets and precipitate out. The drying device 10 includes a housing 11 and a heat exchanger 12 installed inside the housing 11. The heat exchanger 12 is connected to the outlet of the cooling device 13 via a pipe.
