Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional hydrolysis systems release by-products along with steam, causing contamination and increased workload for the air treatment device.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stress or pressure
If steam is released through the exhaust valve to relieve pressure, then pressure is reduced, but by-products are released along with steam causing contamination
Solution Approach 1:
The exhaust valve is divided into two independent parts: a steam exhaust valve and a by-product exhaust valve. This segmentation allows steam and by-products to be discharged through separate pathways, preventing by-products from contaminating the steam discharge system while maintaining effective pressure relief.
Solution Approach 2:
By-products are extracted from the steam discharge pathway and routed through a separate by-product exhaust valve. This extraction removes the harmful contamination element from the primary steam exhaust system, allowing clean steam discharge while separately managing by-product disposal.
2Stress or pressure
If by-products are released along with steam, then pressure is relieved, but the air treatment device workload increases
Solution Approach 1:
The exhaust system is segmented into dedicated steam exhaust and by-product exhaust pathways. This segmentation ensures that the air treatment device only processes clean steam rather than a mixture containing by-products, significantly reducing the device's workload and processing requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
By-products are extracted and discharged through a separate pathway independent of the steam exhaust system. This extraction removes the burden of by-product processing from the air treatment device, allowing it to focus solely on managing steam emissions.
3Stress or pressure
If steam and by-products surge into the air treatment device, then pressure is relieved quickly, but contamination increases
Solution Approach 1:
The dual-exhaust valve design segments the discharge of steam and by-products into separate controlled pathways. This segmentation prevents surges of by-products from reaching the air treatment device while maintaining rapid pressure relief through the dedicated steam exhaust channel.
Solution Approach 2:
By-products are extracted from the main steam exhaust flow and discharged separately. This extraction prevents by-product surges from contaminating the air treatment device while the steam exhaust valve maintains rapid pressure relief capability through its dedicated pathway.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Prevents large quantities of by-products from entering the air treatment device, reducing its workload and minimizing contamination, thus maintaining system efficiency.
Implementation Method 1
The pressure relief device includes a pressure relief tube and at least one auxiliary tube. The pressure relief tube is connected to the hydrolysis furnace, is adjacent to the ventilation hole, extends in an up-down direction, and defines a first tube space that spatially communicates with the ventilation hole. The at least one auxiliary tube is disposed at an end portion of the pressure relief tube opposite to the hydrolysis furnace in the up-down direction, extends in a left-right direction that is substantially perpendicular to the up-down direction, and defines a second tube space that spatially communicates with the ventilation hole.
