Description

  The present invention relates to a vaporization cooling apparatus that vaporizes and cools an object to be cooled by the latent heat of vaporization of a cooling fluid to be supplied with a jacket portion in a pressure state of about atmospheric pressure or lower than atmospheric pressure.

  The evaporative cooling device includes a cooling unit that stores cooling fluid on the outer periphery of a jacket portion, and a cooling fluid nozzle that injects the cooling fluid into the jacket portion from the cooling unit, and is heated by the cooling fluid that is injected from the cooling fluid nozzle. The entire exchange chamber can be uniformly cooled, and the vaporized vapor is cooled and condensed in the cooling part on the outer periphery of the jacket part, thereby promoting the convection of vaporized steam in the jacket part and evaporative cooling efficiency. Can be improved.

In this evaporative cooling device, there is a problem that the cost of the device itself increases due to the arrangement of the cooling fluid nozzle. In particular, when the heat exchange chamber is large, many cooling fluid nozzles must be attached, which further increases the cost.

  The problem to be solved is to provide an inexpensive evaporative cooling device by eliminating the need for separately attaching a cooling fluid nozzle.

  In the present invention, a jacket portion is formed on the outer periphery of a heat exchange chamber for cooling an object to be cooled, and a cooling fluid supply source and suction means are communicated with the jacket portion, and the object to be cooled is vaporized and cooled by the latent heat of vaporization of the cooling fluid. A cooling fluid supply part for supplying a cooling fluid from a cooling fluid supply source to the jacket part is formed directly on the outer wall of the jacket part, and the cooling fluid supply part has a small diameter for injecting the cooling fluid into the jacket part. It is formed by a through hole and a reflecting plate portion that reflects the jet cooling fluid.

  In the vaporization cooling apparatus of the present invention, it is necessary to separately attach an expensive cooling fluid nozzle by forming the cooling fluid supply part for supplying the cooling fluid from the cooling fluid supply source to the jacket part directly on the outer wall of the jacket part. And an inexpensive evaporative cooling device.

  In the present invention, the cooling fluid supply part is formed directly on the outer wall of the jacket part. This cooling fluid supply part is provided at one or a plurality of places corresponding to the heat exchange chambers that require cooling. Can do.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, an example using a reaction kettle 1 that performs cooling as a heat exchange chamber is shown. An object to be cooled (not shown) placed inside the reaction kettle 1 is vaporized and cooled by a cooling fluid, for example, cooling water, supplied to the jacket portion 2.

  A jacket portion 2 is formed over almost the entire circumference of the reaction kettle 1, and a cooling fluid chamber 3 is formed on the outer periphery of the jacket portion 2. A cooling fluid supply pipe 5 is connected to the upper left part of the cooling fluid chamber 3. A flow rate adjusting valve 6 for controlling the amount of fluid is attached to the cooling fluid supply pipe 5.

  In this embodiment, a steam supply pipe 8 with a flow rate adjusting valve 7 interposed is connected to the upper left part of the jacket portion 2. By supplying steam for heating at a predetermined pressure, that is, temperature, from the steam supply pipe 8 to the jacket portion 2, the object to be heated in the reaction kettle 1 can be heated as well as cooled.

  A discharge pipe 9 is connected to the lower right side of the jacket portion 2 and connected to an ejector 10 of the combination vacuum pump 4 as a suction means. A steam trap 11 and a bypass valve 12 are attached to the discharge pipe 9 in parallel. The steam trap 11 causes only the condensate produced by the condensation of steam in the jacket portion 2 to flow down to the ejector 10.

  The ejector 10, the tank 13, and the circulation pump 14 are sequentially communicated through the circulation path 15 to form the combined vacuum pump 4. A cooling water supply pipe 16 for supplying cooling water as a cooling fluid is connected to the upper portion of the tank 13. A part of the circulation path 15 is branched and the surplus water discharge pipe 17 and the circulation fluid supply pipe 18 are connected to each other. The circulating fluid supply pipe 18 can also use the circulating fluid as a cooling fluid by supplying a part of the circulating fluid circulating through the combination vacuum pump 4 to the cooling fluid chamber 3.

A small-diameter through hole 23 for injecting a cooling fluid into the jacket portion 2 as a cooling fluid supply portion is directly formed in the outer wall 22 of the jacket portion 2 as shown in FIG. The through hole 23 shown in FIG. 2 communicates with the concave portion 24 provided in the jacket portion 2 and is disposed so as to face the reflecting plate portion 25 provided in the lower portion in the jacket portion 2. The jet cooling fluid supplied from the through hole 23 collides with the reflector 25 and is jetted to the entire outer surface of the reaction kettle 1.

  Although only one small-diameter through hole 23 is shown in FIG. 2, for example, an appropriate number such as four or eight can be provided on the horizontal surface of the outer wall 22. Further, by setting the installation direction of the through hole 23 in the vertical direction with respect to the direction shown in FIG. 2, the reflection plate portion 25 can be omitted and the bottom surface 26 of the recess 24 can be used as the reflection plate portion. By forming the small-diameter through hole 23 directly on the outer wall 22 of the jacket portion 2 in this manner, it is not necessary to separately attach an expensive cooling fluid injection nozzle, and the vaporization cooling device can be made inexpensive.

When the object to be cooled in the reaction kettle 1 is cooled, the cooling fluid is supplied from the cooling fluid supply pipe 5 into the cooling fluid chamber 3 so that the cooling fluid chamber 3 is filled with the cooling fluid, and at the same time, the small-diameter through hole 23 is filled. The cooling fluid is injected into the jacket portion 2 from the inside. Furthermore, the circulation pump 14 is driven to bring the inside of the jacket portion 2 into a predetermined pressure state, for example, a vacuum state below atmospheric pressure, by the suction force generated by the ejector 10, thereby injecting the jacket portion 2 from the through hole 23. The cooled cooling fluid takes the heat of the object to be cooled in the reaction kettle 1 and evaporates, whereby the object to be cooled can be vaporized and cooled by the latent heat of vaporization.

When the reaction kettle 1 is cooled in this way, a part of the vapor generated by the vaporization cooling in the jacket part 2 is cooled and condensed by a part of the cooling fluid injected from the through hole 23, and at the same time, the jacket part 2. Even in the cooling fluid accumulated in the cooling fluid chamber 3 on the outer periphery, the convection of the vaporized vapor in the jacket part 2 is promoted by cooling and condensing a part of the vaporized vapor in the jacket part 2 to be cooled. The cooling efficiency can be improved.

  The vaporized vapor of the cooling fluid that has cooled the object to be cooled by the jacket portion 2 and a part of the cooling fluid that could not be vaporized are sucked into the ejector 10 through the valve 12 and the vapor trap 11 and reach the tank 13.

  Since the suction force that can be generated by the ejector 10 is determined by the temperature of the fluid flowing down the ejector 10, the cooling water supply pipe 16 appropriately supplies cooling water to the tank 13 by appropriately supplying the cooling water to the tank 13. The suction force of the ejector 10 can be controlled by adjusting the fluid temperature.

  On the other hand, when heating a heat exchange object (not shown) in the reaction kettle 1, the steam is heated in the reaction kettle 1 by supplying steam at a temperature suitable for heating from the steam supply pipe 8 to the jacket portion 2. Heat the object with heat. Condensate condensed with steam by heating is sucked into the ejector 10 through the discharge pipe 9 and the steam trap 11 and reaches the tank 13.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which the cooling fluid chamber 3 is provided on the outer periphery of the jacket portion 2 and the cooling fluid is jetted from the cooling fluid chamber 3 through the through hole 23 to the jacket portion 2 is shown. The cooling fluid chamber 3 can be omitted by branching the supply pipe 5 and connecting it directly to the through hole 23.
