Under said circumstances, the solution that enters into charging transfer layer first 516 from first passage 512 outwards flows to the outermost end portion 529 of charging transfer layer along helical path, turn to and flow into charging transfer layer second portion 518 at these outermost end portion 529 places, inwardly flow to second channel 514 along helical path charging transfer layer second portion 518 is interior, therefore, get with concentrate before form enters second channel 514 at it, the flow channel length of solution in the charging transfer layer almost is the twice of the length L of charging transfer layer.This paper said " length L of charging transfer layer " refers on the formed hand of spiral of charging transfer layer, begins to the length of the outermost end of charging transfer layer from the inner terminal of charging transfer layer.
After described membrane stack assembly is wrapped on the described center part 502 fully, around center part 502, form a cylindric winding arrangement 530, thus the film that obtains assembling distillation assembly 500.Described cylindric winding arrangement 530 has two relative axial ends 532 and 534.Described film distillation assembly 500 can be installed in the shell 550, such as, can respectively the axial two ends of center part 502 be fixed on entrance 552 and outlet 554 places of shell 550, thereby described distillation assembly 500 is installed in the shell 550.
During use, can by such as vavuum pump, in the steam layer, apply a negative pressure.The feedstock solution of introducing from the entrance 552 of shell flows into the first passage 512 of center parts 502 from entrance 508, then flow into the charging transfer layer.Solution in the charging transfer layer outwards flows to the outermost end portion 529 of charging transfer layer along helical path, after turning to, this outermost end portion 529 inwardly flows to second channel 514 along helical path, then the form with concentrate flows out second channel 514 from exporting 510, flows out shell from housing outlet 554 at last.Solution in described charging transfer layer contacts at first charging transfer layer part from solution and flows to the process of second channel 514, and the part of solution is evaporated and seen through rete and enters the steam layer.Steam in the steam layer distills the axial flow of assembly 500 to the end face 532 of cylindric winding arrangement 530 along film, and flows out from the unencapsulated axial end of the steam layer edge that is positioned on this end face 532, flows out shells 550 from shell aperture 556 at last.
Can realize by potted component the sealing at 509 places in the position, described inner passage 504, described potted component comprises the potted component that is removably installed in the center part or the potted component integrally formed with described center part.
In the present embodiment, because the feedstock solution respectively entrance from the center part 502 508 and outlet 510 flows into and flows out film distillation assembly 500, when film distillation assembly 500 is installed in the shell, do not need to add extra potted component, assembly 500 itself can guarantee good gas-liquid sealing.In addition, because the pressure drop of steam is low in the steam layer, described assembly 500 also can be realized higher distillation flow.
Film distillation assembly described in aforementioned a plurality of embodiment can allow steam flow out the steam layer along the shortest path, thereby reduces the pressure drop of steam, or allows solution flow out the charging transfer layer along the shortest path, reduces the pressure drop of solution.In addition, because condensation occurs under the saturation temperature, this saturation temperature is the function of condenser internal pressure, when the steam that produces when film distillation assembly enters and carries out condensation in the condenser, the reduction of pressure can cause condensation to need to occur under lower temperature, therefore pressure drop reduce also can reduce temperature drop, thereby improve the thermal efficiency of the film Distallation systm that uses described film distillation assembly.
Those skilled in the art can understand the present invention and also have very large advantage on the manufacturing cost of film distillation assembly and degree easy and simple to handle after reading this paper.
Although describe the present invention in conjunction with the specific embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that and to make many modifications and modification to the present invention.Therefore, recognize, the intention of claims is to cover all such modifications and the modification in true spirit of the present invention and the scope.
