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
A hydrolysis system with a pressure relief device that includes a pressure relief tube and auxiliary tubes to buffer steam and by-products, slowing their movement and ensuring they do not surge into the air treatment device in large quantities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stress or pressure
If the exhaust valve is used to release steam after hydrolysis, then pressure is relieved, but by-products are released along with steam causing contamination
Solution Approach 1:
The exhaust system is segmented into separate pathways: a first exhaust valve for releasing steam and a second exhaust valve for releasing by-products. This segmentation allows steam and by-products to be discharged through different channels, preventing by-products from contaminating the steam discharge path while maintaining effective pressure relief.
Solution Approach 2:
By-products are extracted from the main steam discharge pathway through a separate second exhaust valve. The system selectively removes harmful by-products through a dedicated extraction path, separating them from the useful steam output and preventing contamination of the steam discharge system.
2Stress or pressure
If by-products are released through the exhaust valve, then pressure is relieved, but the air treatment device workload increases
Solution Approach 1:
The exhaust system is divided into separate valves and pathways: the first exhaust valve handles steam release while the second exhaust valve handles by-product release. This segmentation directs by-products away from the air treatment device, reducing its workload and allowing it to focus solely on processing steam without being overwhelmed by harmful by-products.
3Productivity
If steam and by-products are released together, then pressure is relieved quickly, but contamination occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses separate exhaust valves for steam and by-products, allowing simultaneous pressure relief through both channels while preventing mixing of steam and by-products in the discharge path. This maintains rapid pressure relief productivity while eliminating contamination by keeping the discharge streams separate.

AI summary
A hydrolysis system includes a hydrolysis furnace (1) and a pressure relief device (2). The hydrolysis furnace (1) has a reaction space (10) therein, and a ventilation hole (15) spatially communicating with the reaction space (10). The pressure relief device (2) includes a pressure relief (21) tube connected to the hydrolysis furnace (1), adjacent to the ventilation hole (15), extending in an up-down direction (D1), and defining a first tube space that spatially communicates with the ventilation hole (15). The pressure relief device (2) further includes at least one auxiliary tube (22) disposed at an end portion of the pressure relief tube (21) opposite to the hydrolysis furnace (1) in the up-down direction (D1), extending in a left-right direction (D2) that is substantially perpendicular to the up-down direction (D1), and defining a second tube space that spatially communicates with the ventilation hole (15).
