Abstract

A multilayer thin film evaporator for steam heating includes a housing. A three-layer evaporation cylindrical core arranged in a nested manner with one layer placed inside the other is configured inside the housing. A limiting plate is configured to fix the three-layer evaporation cylindrical core. A feeding tube, a heating medium inlet tube, and a heating medium outlet tube are sequentially fixed under the limiting plate in a crosswise manner. A rotary rack spindle passing through a center of the three-layer evaporation cylindrical core, a rotary rack fixed on the rotary rack spindle and capable of rotating with the rotary rack spindle, and a motor component connected to a top end of the rotary rack spindle and capable of driving the rotary rack spindle to rotate are further provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

wherein, the feeding tube, the heating medium inlet tube, and the heating medium outlet tube are sequentially fixed under the limiting plate in a crosswise manner;
a rotary rack spindle passing through a center of the three-layer evaporation cylindrical core;
a rotary rack fixed on the rotary rack spindle, wherein the rotary rack is configured to rotate with the rotary rack spindle; and
a motor component connected to a top end of the rotary rack spindle, wherein the rotary rack is configured to drive the rotary rack spindle to rotate;
wherein the housing of the multilayer thin film evaporator together with an upper sealing head and a lower sealing head forms a closed space, and three layers of the three-layer evaporation cylindrical core are coaxial.

2. The multilayer thin film evaporator according to claim 1 , wherein each layer of the three-layer evaporation cylindrical core comprises a mother liquid rising channel, a heating medium inlet channel, a heating medium outlet channel, an evaporation channel, and a heat insulation area;
wherein the mother liquid rising channel, the heating medium inlet channel, the heating medium outlet channel, the evaporation channel, and the heat insulation area are arranged in parallel;
the heat insulation area is located between the mother liquid rising channel and the heating medium inlet channel;
one side of the evaporation channel is composed of evaporation wall surfaces; and
the heating medium inlet channel and the heating medium outlet channel are separated by a separator.

3. The multilayer thin film evaporator according to claim 2 , wherein bottoms of the mother liquid rising channel, the heating medium inlet channel, and
the heating medium outlet channel are sealed by cover plates, and a bottom of the evaporation channel is an open structure.

4. The multilayer thin film evaporator according to claim 3 , wherein the limiting plate is a circular structure;
a central circular hole is provided at a center of the limiting plate;
a plurality of circular through holes are provided on the limiting plate along a diametrical direction; and
a plurality of curved strip-shaped through holes are provided on the limiting plate along a circumferential direction.

5. The multilayer thin film evaporator according to claim 4 , wherein a discharge tube matched with the circular through hole on the limiting plate is provided on each of the feeding tube, the heating medium inlet tube, and the heating medium outlet tube, respectively;
wherein the discharge tube of the feeding tube passes through a corresponding circular through hole to be interconnected with the cover plate at the bottom of the mother liquid rising channel, the discharge tube of the heating medium inlet tube passes through a corresponding circular through hole to be interconnected with the cover plate at the bottom of the heating medium inlet channel, and the discharge tube of the heating medium outlet tube passes through a corresponding circular through hole to be interconnected with the cover plate at the bottom of the heating medium outlet channel.

6. The multilayer thin film evaporator according to claim 4 , wherein a bottom of the rotary rack spindle passes through the central circular hole on the limiting plate and is fixed by a bearing.

7. The multilayer thin film evaporator according to claim 2 , wherein three cantilevers are provided on the rotary rack;
wherein the three cantilevers form a 120-degree angle between one another;
suspension rods with a same number as a layer number of the evaporation channel are connected to the cantilevers;
each suspension rod is provided with a circular ring;
a wiper is mounted on the circular ring; and
the suspension rods, the circular ring and the wiper extend into each layer of the evaporation channel.

8. The multilayer thin film evaporator according to claim 2 , wherein overflow grooves are provided at top portions of the heating medium inlet channel and the heating medium outlet channel;
wherein a mother liquid in the mother liquid rising channel overflows to the evaporation wall surfaces through the overflow grooves; and
a height difference between left baffles and right baffles of the overflow grooves is not less than 10 mm.
