Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform continuous water supply while using a vacuum treating vessel by combining plural water storage chambers for temporarily storing water which has been deaerated in a main deaeration chamber, alternately introducing water from the main deaeration chamber to the water storage chamber and alternately taking out it. SOLUTION: A cylindrical body 1 is coaxially divided by an annular partition 5 to form a cylindrical main deaeration chamber 2 in the central part. The annular spaces around the chamber 2 are each divided in two by partitions in the radial direction to form a first and a second water storage chamber 3, 4. The main deaeration chamber 2 is evacuated to below atmospheric pressure to suck water from a water supply pipe 8, and dissolved gas in the water is collected to deaerate the water by vacuum boiling. After the deaerated water overflows into a storage chamber 10, it is sucked into the first water storage chamber 3 by a solenoid valve 29 of a control means, and when it reaches the upper water level limit, the solenoid valve 29 is switched by a signal from a water level detector 31 to make it communicate with fresh air. When a water transfer pump 22 is started, the deaerated water is sent to a pressurized water tank 23 to undergo water distribution. At the same time, the second water storage chamber 4 is evacuated by a solenoid valve 30 to suck the deaerated water.

The vacuum deaeration method is not widely used yet because it is difficult to handle the vacuum for the treatment of water for domestic water supply and the measures against red water in buildings, for example, but the batch treatment method is relatively easy to handle. This is a vacuum degassing device. However, the batch processing type vacuum deaerator has a limited amount of treatment because the treatment is discontinuous, and if a large amount of water needs to be treated, it must be a large-scale facility, and the facility maintenance cost However, it is not common because it is expensive.

On the other hand, when continuous large-volume treatment is required, such as in a food factory, a multi-stage continuous vacuum degassing system combining an ejector and a cyclone, which requires specialized complexity for operation and maintenance, is proposed. Although it has been adopted and equipment with sufficient processing amount per hour has been put to practical use, it has a large installation area and large equipment cost and maintenance cost, so it is suitable for industrial applications where added value can be expected from processing, and it is a general apartment house. It is not practical to use it as a deaerator for water treatment equipment in offices and office buildings, because it is economically unacceptable, including in terms of management.

[0008] Compared with the continuous vacuum degassing method using an ejector or the like, a method of introducing deionized water into a depressurized vessel and vacuum degassing dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide gas and free chlorine in water is more effective in a batch processing method. However, in order to use a continuous treatment system, it is necessary to continuously remove degassed water while maintaining a high vacuum inside the treatment vessel. Must be large in volume, and the structure and operation for maintaining the pressure seal between the processing container and each part of the water supply and water supply system are complicated.

It is also known that organic carcinogens such as trihalomethane and trichlorethylene in water are simultaneously removed by heating and boiling the treated water in combination with vacuum degassing treatment, but it is adopted in the hot water supply system. However, in a water supply system that supplies cold water, energy for boiling is wasted, so that there is a drawback that it cannot be actually used.

Further, the controller 26 keeps the vacuum pump 27 in the operating state at all times during the operation of the deaerator, so that the internal space of the electrode cylinder 15 is constantly operated by the vacuum pump 27 via the steam separator 33. The pressure is reduced, and the three-way solenoid valves 29 and 30 are mainly alternately switched by the controller 26, so that when one of the water storage chambers is performing the water storage operation, the other water storage chamber is reversible so that the water supply operation is performed.

This ultrasonic oscillator 34 radiates ultrasonic vibration of several tens of kHz, and the distance from its effective vibration surface to the upper opening edge of the water guiding cylinder 7 is set to an integral multiple of half the wavelength of the radiated ultrasonic vibration. It is As a result, a standing wave of ultrasonic waves is formed in the water column that fills the inside of the water guiding cylinder 7, and ultrasonic vibrations are almost completely reflected on the water surface to cause cavitation with high efficiency, which causes dissolved gas in water to form bubbles. Becomes diffused into the upper space of the main deaeration chamber under reduced pressure. On the other hand, the upper space of the main deaeration chamber 2 is decompressed by the vacuum pump 27 so that the water inside has a vacuum degree enough to cause decompression boiling, and thus the decompression boiling and the cavitation phenomenon due to ultrasonic vibration are synergistic.

Therefore, the controller 26 first causes the solenoid valve 2 to
When 8 and 29 are switched to the vacuum pump side and the solenoid valve 30 is switched to the outside air side, the inside of the main deaeration chamber 2 is depressurized, so that the treated water in the electrode cylinder 15 is sucked into the water guiding chamber 9 through the water supply pipe 8.

Therefore, the water overflowing from the upper edge of the water guiding cylinder 7 into the storage chamber 10 is degassed water that has already been sufficiently degassed, and the water level in the storage chamber 10 is the lower inlet of the partition wall 5. When reaching the check valve 12 for use, the deaerated water in the storage chamber 10 inside the main deaeration chamber 2 is depressurized by the solenoid valve 29 to the same pressure as in the main deaeration chamber 2.

The water feed pump 2 is constructed by alternately repeating the above-described operations of sucking and guiding water in the first and second water storage chambers 3 and 4 and discharging water by returning to the external pressure in the first and second water storage chambers.
It is possible to send water almost continuously by 2. Further, since the floating lids 35 and 36 are constantly floating on the water surface in the water storage chamber where water is discharged to the water supply port 19, the water surface is almost shielded from contact with the outside air, and therefore the gas in the outside air is submerged in water depending on the equilibrium partial pressure. It does not dissolve in water and effectively prevents red rust from occurring in the downstream piping system. Needless to say, it is possible to prevent damage due to electrolytic corrosion by electrically grounding the structural members in contact with water of the entire system including the deaerator so as to maintain the same potential.

Although not shown in the illustrated example, a water level detector for detecting that the water surface has risen above the overflow level of the water guiding cylinder 7 is also provided in the main deaeration chamber 2 and is controlled by the detection signal. The vacuum pump 27 is switched to the pressure-holding operation by the device 26, and when the water level in the main degassing chamber 2 rises more than necessary, the suction of the water supply is temporarily stopped, or the solenoid valve 28 is switched to the communication position with the outside air. An additional operation mode may be prepared in which the upper space of the main deaeration chamber is released to the external atmospheric pressure and the deaeration operation is stopped in an emergency. In the illustrated example, the deaerator having an integrated unit is shown, but the main deaerator and each water storage chamber are configured as independent tanks, and even if these are connected by a piping system, a deaerator that also functions in the same way. It can be a Qi device.

It is possible to provide a vacuum-type deaerator capable of continuously supplying water while using a decompression treatment container, and its facility maintenance is relatively simple.
It can be realized by an off-control device, does not require chemical injection, and can effectively degas dissolved substances by boiling under reduced pressure without heat treatment. Also, since it is easy to use cavitation caused by ultrasonic vibrations together, it is possible to efficiently promote the vaporization of dissolved gas during vacuum degassing, and further to re-contact the degassed water with air as much as possible. Since it is also possible to prevent re-dissolution of oxygen and carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere in the processing system, it is possible to prevent corrosion such as red rust in the piping system.
