[0002] Ethylene glycol evaporators are specialized equipment for processing ethylene glycol solutions, widely used in chemical, refrigeration, and food processing industries. Their core function is to concentrate or cool the ethylene glycol solution through evaporation, featuring corrosion resistance and high-efficiency heat exchange. However, in current ethylene glycol evaporators, cold liquid ethylene glycol is often directly added during continuous use. This method is prone to thermal shock, affecting the evaporator's lifespan and resulting in relatively poor operating efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present invention provides a heating structure for the EG pipeline of an ethylene glycol evaporator to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. This heating structure can reduce thermal shock and protect the equipment.

The ethylene glycol collection tank is connected to the circulating pump via a pipeline. The circulating pump is connected to the three-stage spray system via a first pipeline and to the evaporator via a second pipeline. The evaporator is connected to the EG collection tank via a third pipeline, and a heating jacket is connected to the second pipeline. The third pipeline includes a first steam supply pipe and a second steam supply pipe. One end of the first steam supply pipe is connected to the evaporator, and the other end is connected to the heating jacket. One end of the second steam supply pipe is connected to the heating jacket, and the other end is connected to the EG collection tank.
[0006] The heating jacket is connected to a steam inlet pipe and a steam outlet pipe; the steam inlet pipe is connected to the first steam supply pipe through a flange, and the steam outlet pipe is connected to the second steam supply pipe through a flange.

[0023] See Figures 1 to 6 .
[0024] An ethylene glycol evaporator EG pipeline heating structure includes an ethylene glycol collection tank 1, a circulating pump 2, a three-stage spray device 3, an evaporator 4, and an EG collection tank 5. The ethylene glycol collection tank 1 is connected to the circulating pump 2 via a pipeline. The circulating pump 2 is connected to the three-stage spray device 3 via a first pipeline 6. The circulating pump 2 is connected to the evaporator 4 via a second pipeline 7. The evaporator 4 is connected to the EG collection tank 5 via a third pipeline. A heating jacket 8 is connected to the second pipeline 7. The third pipeline includes a first steam supply pipe 9 and a second steam supply pipe 10. One end of the first steam supply pipe 9 is connected to the evaporator 4, and the other end is connected to the heating jacket 8. One end of the second steam supply pipe 10 is connected to the heating jacket 8, and the other end is connected to the EG collection tank 5. Specifically, an inlet pipe 21 and an outlet pipe 22 are connected to the heating jacket 8. The inlet pipe 21 is connected to the first steam supply pipe 9 via a flange, and the outlet pipe 22 is connected to the second steam supply pipe 10 via a flange. The high-temperature EG generated by the evaporator 4 of this invention is sent into the heating jacket 8 through the first steam pipe 9 and exchanges heat with the ethylene glycol supplied to the evaporator 4 through the second pipe 7. This heats the supplied ethylene glycol before it enters the evaporator 4, and the heated ethylene glycol reduces thermal shock after entering the evaporator 4, thus protecting the equipment.
[0025] In the design of the heating jacket 8, the second pipe 7 includes a heat exchange coil 11, a first conveying pipe 12, and a second conveying pipe 13. The heat exchange coil 11 is connected between the first conveying pipe 12 and the second conveying pipe 13, and the heat exchange coil 11 is installed inside the heating jacket 8. The heating jacket 8 includes a sleeve 31 and an upper cover 32 that is bolted and sealed to the upper part of the sleeve 31. The heat exchange coil 11 is located inside the sleeve 31. The upper and lower ends of the heat exchange coil 11 pass through the upper cover 32 and the sleeve 31 respectively and are connected to an upper mounting pipe 41 and a lower mounting pipe 42 respectively. The upper mounting pipe 41 is threaded to an upper connecting pipe 43, and the lower mounting pipe 42 is threaded to a lower connecting pipe 44. The lower connecting pipe 44 is connected to the first conveying pipe 12 through a flange, and the upper connecting pipe 43 is connected to the second conveying pipe 13 through a flange. This utility model uses a heat exchange coil 11 for heat exchange. The heat exchange coil 11 adopts a spiral design, which helps to increase the heat exchange area and improve the heat exchange efficiency. In addition, the heat exchange coil 11 adopts the above-mentioned detachable connection structure design (that is, the upper mounting pipe 41 is threaded to the upper connecting pipe 43, and the lower mounting pipe 42 is threaded to the lower connecting pipe 44), which facilitates replacement after damage.
[0026] To ensure a tight seal, this invention features a first sealing ring 51 connecting the upper connecting pipe 43 and the upper cover 32, and a second sealing ring 52 connecting the lower connecting pipe 44 and the sleeve 31. A first limiting ring 61 is connected to the upper mounting pipe 41, and a second limiting ring 62 is connected to the lower mounting pipe 42. A third sealing ring 53 connects the first limiting ring 61 to the upper cover 32, and a fourth sealing ring 54 connects the second limiting ring 62 to the sleeve 31. These sealing rings effectively enhance the sealing performance and prevent leakage.
