Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of defoamer technology, and more particularly to a defoamer system. Background Technology

[0002] Some defoamers on the market cannot effectively monitor the internal liquid level, causing the liquid level to rise continuously and be discharged from the top exhaust end, resulting in liquid waste. At the same time, the sprayed liquid may also pollute the environment.

[0003] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a defoamer system to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a defoamer system, including a defoamer, an explosion-proof liquid level sensor, an explosion-proof pneumatic ball valve, and an explosion-proof control system. The explosion-proof liquid level sensor is disposed above the defoamer and connected to the top of the defoamer. A connecting pipe is provided at the top of the defoamer and connected to the top of the defoamer. The explosion-proof pneumatic ball valve is connected to the connecting pipe. The explosion-proof liquid level sensor and the explosion-proof pneumatic ball valve are electrically connected to the explosion-proof control system. A first liquid level is set in the defoamer. When the liquid level is higher than the first liquid level, the explosion-proof liquid level sensor sends a first signal to the explosion-proof control system. The explosion-proof control system controls the explosion-proof pneumatic ball valve to close according to the received first signal.

[0006] Optionally, the defoamer system further includes a first front straight pipe, one end of which is connected to the liquid inlet at the bottom of the defoamer, and the other end is connected to a delivery pump.

[0007] Optionally, the defoamer system further includes a second front straight pipe, wherein the liquid outlet at the bottom of the defoamer is connected to one end of the second front straight pipe.

[0008] Optionally, the defoamer system further includes a flow meter disposed above and connected to the second upstream straight pipe.

[0009] Optionally, the flow meter is electrically connected to the explosion-proof control system.

[0010] Optionally, the defoamer system further includes a manual ventilation structure, one end of which is connected to a connecting pipe via a pipeline.

[0011] Optionally, the manual ventilation structure includes a manual valve and an exhaust pipe, one end of which is connected to a connecting pipe via a pipeline, and the other end of which is connected to the exhaust pipe.

[0012] Optionally, a second liquid level is provided in the defoamer. When the liquid level is lower than the second liquid level, the explosion-proof liquid level sensor sends a second signal to the explosion-proof control system, and the explosion-proof control system issues an alarm based on the received second signal.

[0013] Optionally, the height of the second liquid level in the defoamer is lower than the height of the first liquid level in the defoamer.

[0014] Optionally, the defoamer system further includes an alarm module, which is electrically connected to the explosion-proof control system. Upon receiving a second signal, the explosion-proof control system controls the alarm module to issue an alarm.

[0015] The technical solutions provided in this application have the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0016] This application embodiment monitors the liquid level using an explosion-proof liquid level sensor. When the liquid level is higher than the first liquid level, the explosion-proof control system controls the explosion-proof pneumatic ball valve to close, preventing liquid from being discharged from the exhaust end. This reduces liquid waste and the adverse environmental impact after liquid discharge, which helps to reduce the company's losses and the subsequent costs incurred in restoring the environment.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this application. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0025] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "front," "back," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a positional flip, orientation change, or change of motion, these directional indications will change accordingly. For instance, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0026] To address the technical problems in the prior art, this application provides a defoamer system that can monitor the liquid level through an explosion-proof liquid level sensor. When the liquid level is higher than a first liquid level, the explosion-proof control system controls the explosion-proof pneumatic ball valve to close, preventing liquid from being discharged from the exhaust end. This reduces liquid waste and the adverse environmental impact after liquid discharge, thereby reducing the company's losses and the subsequent costs incurred in restoring the environment.

[0027] Figure 1 An antifoaming system provided in this application embodiment is used to eliminate bubbles in liquid delivered from a pump. It includes an antifoamer 1, an explosion-proof liquid level sensor 2, an explosion-proof pneumatic ball valve 3, and an explosion-proof control system 4. The explosion-proof liquid level sensor 2 is positioned above the antifoamer 1 and connected to the top of the antifoamer 1. A connecting pipe 5 is provided at the top of the antifoamer 1 and connected to the top of the antifoamer 1. The explosion-proof pneumatic ball valve 3 is connected to the connecting pipe 5. The explosion-proof liquid level sensor 2 and the explosion-proof pneumatic ball valve 3 are electrically connected to the explosion-proof control system 4. A first liquid level 6 is set inside the antifoamer 1. When the liquid level is higher than the first liquid level 6, the explosion-proof liquid level sensor 2 sends a first signal to the explosion-proof control system 4. The explosion-proof control system 4 controls the explosion-proof pneumatic ball valve 3 to close based on the received first signal.

[0028] The defoamer system of this application monitors the liquid level through an explosion-proof liquid level sensor 2. When the liquid level is higher than the first liquid level 6, the explosion-proof control system 4 controls the explosion-proof pneumatic ball valve 3 to close, preventing liquid from being discharged from the exhaust end. This reduces liquid waste and the adverse environmental impact after liquid discharge, which helps to reduce the company's losses and the subsequent costs incurred for environmental restoration. By adopting an explosion-proof structure for the explosion-proof liquid level sensor 2, the explosion-proof pneumatic ball valve 3, and the explosion-proof control system 4, they will not easily burst or explode in complex environments such as high temperature and high pressure, which helps to improve the safety factor and has a longer service life.

[0029] Furthermore, a second liquid level 7 is provided inside the defoamer 1. When the liquid level is lower than the second liquid level 7, the explosion-proof liquid level sensor 2 sends a second signal to the explosion-proof control system 4, and the explosion-proof control system 4 issues an alarm based on the received second signal. When the liquid level is lower than the second liquid level 7, it indicates that too much gas is stored in the defoamer 1, which may be due to a blockage at the exhaust end. Personnel can check and maintain the system according to the alarm prompt to prevent gas from escaping through the liquid outlet and reducing the defoaming effect. The second liquid level 7 is lower than the first liquid level 6 within the defoamer 1.

[0030] Please continue reading. Figure 1The defoamer system also includes a first front straight pipe 8 and a second front straight pipe 10. One end of the first front straight pipe 8 is connected to the liquid inlet 9 at the bottom of the defoamer 1, and the other end is connected to the delivery pump. The liquid outlet 11 at the bottom of the defoamer 1 is connected to one end of the second front straight pipe 10.

[0031] Preferably, the defoamer system further includes a flow meter 12, which is disposed above and connected to the second upstream straight pipe 10 and electrically connected to the explosion-proof control system 4. The flow meter 12 is used to measure the flow rate of the defoamed liquid, and may be an electromagnetic flow meter or a mass flow meter.

[0032] Furthermore, the defoamer system also includes a manual venting structure 13. One end of the manual venting structure 13 is connected to the connecting pipe 5 via a pipeline. Specifically, the manual venting structure 13 includes a manual valve 14 and an exhaust pipe 15. One end of the manual valve 14 is connected to the connecting pipe 5 via a pipeline, and the other end is connected to the exhaust pipe 15. The manual venting structure 13 allows the valve to be manually opened to allow gas to be smoothly discharged from the top when the explosion-proof pneumatic ball valve 3 fails. This prevents the gas from being discharged from the outlet 11 along with the liquid due to the inability to be discharged from the top, thus avoiding a reduction in the defoaming effect.

[0033] Preferably, the defoamer system also includes an alarm module (not shown), which is electrically connected to the explosion-proof control system 4. Upon receiving a second signal, the explosion-proof control system 4 controls the alarm module to issue an alarm. The alarm module ensures that the alarm alerts from the defoamer system can be promptly communicated to personnel, allowing for timely inspection and maintenance. This prevents delays in maintenance due to the equipment's inability to issue an alarm, thus helping to avoid greater losses. The alarm module can provide alerts through sound, light, or a combination of both.
