[0004]

The conventional steam heating device described above has a problem that the heating temperature cannot be accurately maintained, and in particular, the temperature cannot be accurately adjusted in the initial stage of heating. This is because in the initial stage of heating, a large amount of air remains in the jacket portion 2 and it is in an almost atmospheric pressure state, and the supplied heating vapor is difficult to condense and the inside of the jacket portion 2 is in a predetermined low pressure state. No 10
This is because the steam temperature cannot be adjusted to 0 ° C or lower.

Although the remaining air can be expelled by the supplied steam, it takes time to expel it and a time delay occurs, so that the temperature cannot be accurately adjusted.

Further, although the above-mentioned conventional apparatus can heat the low temperature steam, it cannot cool the heat exchange object.

Therefore, a technical object of the present invention is to obtain a vapor heating vaporization cooling device capable of accurately adjusting a heating temperature without causing a time delay and capable of cooling as well as heating.

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems The technical means of the present invention taken to solve the above technical problems is to form a heat exchange part in a heat exchanger and connect a steam supply pipe for heating. In the case where a condensate recovery device for discharging condensate generated by heating is connected, a nozzle communicating with the heating steam supply pipe and a suction chamber covering the periphery of the nozzle are formed on the inlet side of the heat exchange section. , At least two passages are connected to the suction chamber, one of the passages is connected to the heat exchange section, and the valve means is interposed in the other passage, and the heat exchange section and the cooling fluid supply pipe are connected to the valve means. It is connected through.

[0009]

The operation of the above technical means is as follows.
By forming the nozzle, the suction chamber and the valve means in communication with the steam supply pipe, when the valve means is opened to allow the steam to pass through the nozzle, the suction force acts on the suction chamber and the pressure drops. By connecting the suction chamber and the heat exchange part through one passage,
The residual air in the heat exchange section is sucked into the suction chamber by this suction force, and is removed from the system through the valve means together with the steam. Since the residual air is removed from the heat exchange section, a predetermined low pressure state is established. By closing the valve means in this state, the passage from the steam supply pipe and the nozzle becomes only one passage connected to the heat exchange section, and the steam exiting the nozzle is supplied to the heat exchange section. By setting the temperature of the steam supplied to the heat exchange unit to a predetermined temperature, the object to be heated can be heated while maintaining the predetermined temperature even when the steam has a temperature of 100 ° C. or less. Condensate produced by condensation of steam by heating reaches a condensate recovery device, and is discharged to the outside when a predetermined amount is accumulated.

When the heat exchange section is cooled, the valve means is opened to supply steam to the nozzle to generate a suction force, and the cooling fluid is supplied from the cooling fluid supply pipe to the heat exchange section. The cooling fluid removes heat from the object to be cooled and cools it. The vapor of the cooling fluid, which has taken heat from the object to be cooled and vaporized, is sucked by the nozzle and removed to the outside of the system.

By increasing the amount of steam supplied to the nozzle to increase the suction force of the nozzle, the inside of the heat exchange section can be in a low pressure state below atmospheric pressure, and the supplied cooling fluid is vaporized at a low temperature to cool the object to be cooled. Can be cooled.

The check valve 27 allows passage of the fluid from the jacket portion 16 only in the direction of the condensate recovery device 20, but does not permit passage of the fluid in the opposite direction. The check valve 28 is also provided at the condensate return port 35 of the condensate recovery device 20.
The condensate pressure feed line 29 is attached via. This check valve 2
The numeral 8 allows the fluid to pass only from the condensate recovery device 20 to the outside.

The details of the condensate recovery system 20 are shown in FIG. A lid 32 is attached to the main body 31 with a bolt (not shown) to form a condensate storage chamber 33 inside. A condensate inlet 34 communicating with the condensate reservoir chamber 33 is formed in the upper part of the main body 31, and a return port 35 for returning the condensate to a recovery destination is formed in the lower part. An inlet port 38 connected to the vapor pipe line 23 as a high-pressure operating fluid is formed in the lid 32, and a high-pressure operating fluid circulation port 39 (not shown) is formed on the inner side of the inlet port 38. The inlet port 38 communicates with the condensate reservoir chamber 33 via the air supply valve 50, and the circulation port 39
Communicates with the condensate reservoir chamber 33 via an exhaust valve 51 (not shown) arranged substantially parallel to the back side of the air supply valve 50. Air supply valve 5
0 and the exhaust valve 51 are connected to the slide rod 53, so that when the slide rod 53 is displaced upward, the air supply valve 50 is opened and the exhaust valve 51 is closed, and when the slide rod 53 is displaced downward. The intake valve 50 is closed and the exhaust valve 51 is opened. A plurality of slide rings 5 for supporting the vertical movement of the slide rod 53 are provided on both sides of the slide rod 53.
5 is provided.

In the condensate pool chamber 33, a closed float 56 that floats and descends with the water level is housed. A lever 57 is attached to the float 56, and the connecting member 58 and the valve rod 59 of the valve body 60 are pin-connected to the lever 57. Lever 57 has pin 6

4 in series. The other end of the auxiliary lever 64 is rotatably attached by a pin 65 attached to the lid 32. One end of the connecting member 58 is connected to the slide rod 53 by a pin 62, and the other end is connected to the auxiliary lever 64 by a pin 66.
A compressed coil spring 67 is arranged at the center of the connecting member 58.

The water or condensate in the jacket 16 is supplied to the conduit 19
And passes through the valve 26 and the check valve 27 and flows down into the condensate pool chamber 33. When the condensed water is accumulated in the condensed water chamber 33, the float 56 rises and the lever 57 rotates about the pin 61. In this case, the pin 66 is displaced downward to move the coil spring 6
7 is further compressed. When the pin 66 is further displaced downward and positioned slightly below the position of the pin 62, the compression force of the coil spring 67 acts on the pin 62 and pushes up the slide rod 53 at once. When the slide rod 53 is located above, the air supply valve 50 is opened, high-pressure steam flows into the condensate reservoir chamber 33 from the steam pipe 23 as a high-pressure operating fluid, and is parallel to the inner side of the air supply valve 50. The exhaust valve 51 provided in the valve is closed to prevent discharge of high-pressure steam, and

The steam that has heated the reaction kettle 15 in the jacket portion 16 condenses into condensate, and naturally flows down into the condensate recovery device 20 via the conduit 19. By supplying heated steam having a predetermined temperature into the jacket portion 16 from which air has been removed, the reaction kettle 15 is heated with the steam having a predetermined temperature.
For example, when steam of 60 ° C. is supplied from the pressure control valve 21, the reaction kettle 15 is heated at 60 ° C.
