[0002] Soy protein isolate is a complete protein food additive produced from low-temperature desolventized soybean meal. Many steps in its production process require specific temperatures, with preheating being a crucial one. Appropriate preheating temperatures facilitate subsequent extraction and reaction processes, improving product quality and production efficiency.
[0003] The commonly used heating method for soy protein isolate liquid is direct heating with steam or electricity. This existing technology has the following significant drawbacks:

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-5A preheating device for soybean protein isolate liquid includes a flash evaporation module 1, a preheating tank 2, and a storage tank 3. A first infusion pump 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the flash evaporation module 1. The flash evaporation module 1 is connected to the high-temperature wastewater remaining from the soybean processing steps. The flash evaporation module 1 is still in a heating state, with boiling wastewater and exhaust gas being discharged. The output end of the first infusion pump 4 is fixedly connected to the preheating tank 2. A second infusion pump 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the storage tank 3. The output end of the second infusion pump 5 is fixedly connected to a filter assembly 7. Wastewater from flash evaporation module 1 is transported to the inner wall of preheating tank 2 via a pipeline. Low-temperature soy protein isolate from storage tank 3 flows into a designated spiral pipeline. Filter assembly 7 is fixedly connected to the side of preheating tank 2 to prevent contamination. Temperature control module 6 is fixedly installed in the middle of preheating tank 2. Temperature control module 6 includes temperature sensor 61 and human-machine interface 62. Preheating box 8 is fixedly installed on the top of preheating tank 2. Temperature sensor 61 is fixedly connected to the side of preheating box 8, and the probe of temperature sensor 8 penetrates into preheating box 8. Inside the preheating tank 2, a temperature sensor 61 is installed in the middle of the preheating box 8 to monitor the protein solution temperature in real time. Based on the signal from the temperature sensor 61, the input flow rate of waste heat and the input flow rate of the storage tank 3 are automatically adjusted. The interior of the preheating tank 2 is connected to the bottom of the preheating box 8 through a spiral waste heat exchange pipe 9. The spiral waste heat exchange pipe 9 includes a water storage pan 91 and a nozzle 92. One end of the water storage pan 91 is connected to the pipe at the bottom of the filter assembly 7. The top of the water storage pan 91 is equipped with multiple spirally rising heat exchange pipes. The heat exchange pipes are made of corrosion-resistant metal. The nozzle 92 is fixedly installed on the top of the heat exchange pipe. The nozzle 92 has a through hole at the top and is located at the bottom of the preheating box 8. The protein solution flows through the spiral pipe. Due to the thermal conductivity of the metal, the protein solution absorbs heat during the flow to raise the current temperature. A steam pipe 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the flash evaporation module 1. The steam pipe 10 has a gas valve at the top of the flash evaporation module 1 to control the flow rate. The other end of the steam pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the interior of the preheating box 8.
[0025] A guide plate 11 is fixedly installed at the other end of the steam pipe 10. The guide plate 11 is located inside the preheating box 8 and is positioned close to the upper part of the nozzle 92. An air hole 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the guide plate 11. The guide plate 11 is used to discharge the overflowing low-temperature wastewater and the steam pipe 10 is used to introduce high-temperature steam into the preheating box 8, so as to achieve the effect of wastewater recycling and reuse and secondary heating of the protein liquid that has not reached the target temperature. By using the soybean waste heat injection tank of the flash evaporation module 1, the protein liquid in the storage tank 3 undergoes heat exchange in the spiral tube, preheating the protein liquid temperature from the initial temperature of 20 to 30 degrees Celsius to 40 to 50 degrees Celsius. Then, the waste heat generated when the flash evaporation module 1 boils is used to heat the preheated protein liquid to the target temperature of 50 to 70 degrees Celsius through the steam pipe 10. The flow rate of waste heat and waste gas can be adjusted according to the real-time feedback data of the temperature sensor 61, so as to achieve the energy utilization rate of the waste heat circulation pipeline and complete the energy-saving optimization design effect on the basis of protein liquid preheating.
[0026] The filter assembly 7 includes a filter screen 71, which is fixedly installed on the upper part of the inner wall of the filter assembly 7; impurities are filtered by setting a detachable filter screen with a pore size of 50-100 mesh at the protein liquid inlet of the filter assembly 7.
[0027] A protein liquid inlet 13 is fixedly installed on the side of the storage tank 3, and a protein liquid outlet 14 is fixedly installed on the side of the preheating tank 8. The protein liquid is heated to the target temperature by steam through the guide plate 11. The first infusion pump 4 inputs hot water to the lower part of the preheating tank 2. After the liquid level in the preheating tank 2 exceeds the preset height, the overflowing water enters the interior of the guide plate 11. The other end of the guide plate 11 is connected to the internal pipe of the flash evaporation module 1. Since the density of water decreases as the temperature rises within the temperature range of 4 to 100 degrees Celsius, the water will flow upward. As the wastewater temperature decreases after continuously losing some heat, the injected and discharged wastewater are proportional to each other, thereby maintaining the relative stability of the water temperature.
[0028] Working principle:
[0029] Step 1: The soybean protein liquid in storage tank 3 is introduced into the spiral waste heat exchange tube 9. The high-temperature wastewater in preheating tank 8, which is about 80 to 90 degrees Celsius, uses the thermal conductivity of metal and the flow of water to exchange heat, preheating the protein liquid from the initial temperature to 40 to 50 degrees Celsius.
[0030] Step 2: According to process requirements, steam is injected through steam pipe 10 to reheat the protein solution discharged from the top of the spiral waste heat exchange pipe 9, so that the protein solution is heated to the target temperature, which is 50 to 70 degrees Celsius.
[0031] Step 3: Temperature sensor 61 provides real-time data feedback, and the built-in PLC controller in human-machine interface 62 dynamically adjusts the hot water injection flow and steam injection flow of flash evaporation module 1 to ensure stable outlet temperature.
[0032] Step four: The low-temperature wastewater after waste heat exchange is reused through the waste heat circulation pipeline. Flash evaporation module 1 is the heat source under continuous heating, thereby reducing the overall energy consumption.
