AI Technical Summary
然而,若使用上述添加方式添加消泡剂,一方面点滴状的消泡剂无法与泡沫充分接触,另一方面由于消泡剂扩散速度较慢,使得注入点处消泡剂浓度较高而远离注入点处消泡剂浓度较低,因此为消除全部泡沫常需要添加过多的消泡剂,不仅容易造成资源浪费,还会造成罐体内消泡剂残留
[0019]本实用新型提供一种用于发酵罐的消泡系统及发酵罐,用于发酵罐的消泡系统包括罐体、喷洒组件、供液组件、液位检测单元和控制单元。当使用发酵罐发酵生物表面活性剂时,生物表面活性剂的发酵在罐体内进行,在此过程中会产生大量泡沫,当液位检测单元检测到罐体内泡沫的液位高度高于罐体内的初始液位高度时,发送信号至控制单元,由控制单元控制供液管路向注液管输送消泡剂,消泡剂经由供液管路被输送至注液管,之后雾化喷洒件会将雾化消泡剂并喷洒于罐体内,被雾化后的消泡剂喷洒至生物表面活性剂发酵产生的泡沫上并与泡沫反应,从而消除泡沫,当液位检测单元检测到罐体内泡沫的液位高度回复至罐体内的初始液位高度时,由控制单元控制供液管路停止输送消泡剂。
