Fast cooling equipment for organic or inorganic vapors

Abstract

A fast cooling equipment for organic or inorganic vapors that comprises a vertical double-truncated-cone body joined by the apex of both cones, provided with an external refrigeration jacket along its entire length; an upper coverlid placed at the base of the upper inverted truncated cone, provided with a central entrance for the vapors to be condensed with a thermal insulating layer; an annular chamber provided with two or more openings or nozzles from which a cold gas is blown; an annular chamber located below the cold gas chamber; an inner central cone located inside the lower section of the condenser body, provided in turn with an internal cooling system and deflecting baffles located at one or more cone levels and in mutually opposing directions between each successive level; and a lower accumulation section for liquids or other condensable materials, provided with a conventional drain system and a lateral exit for gases and liquids that are separated in a conventional cyclone system.

1 . A fast cooling equipment for organic or inorganic vapors generated in the pyrolysis of organic material or condensation of vapors of metals or inorganic compounds, wherein said equipment comprises:
 a. a vertical double-truncated-cone body joined by the apex of both cones, provided with an external refrigeration jacket along its entire length;   b. an upper coverlid placed at the base of the upper inverted truncated cone, provided with a central entrance for the vapors to be condensed with a thermal insulating layer; an annular chamber provided with two or more openings or nozzles from which a cold gas is blown; an annular chamber located below the cold gas chamber;   c. an inner central cone located inside the lower section of the condenser body, provided in turn with an internal cooling system and deflecting baffles located at one or more cone levels and in mutually opposing directions between each successive level;   d. a lower accumulation section for liquids or other condensable materials, provided with a conventional drain system and a lateral exit for gases and liquids that are separated in a conventional cyclone system.   
     
     
         2 . A fast cooling equipment for organic or inorganic vapors according to  claim 1 , wherein the cooling equipment uses a combined system comprising: a gas, preferably at a temperature below 60° C.; a liquid, preferably at a temperature below 60° C.; and a liquid or a gas, preferably water at 60° C. or less that flows inside the external refrigerating jacket, to condense the vapors. 
     
     
         3 . A fast cooling equipment for organic or inorganic vapors according to  claim 1 , wherein the vapors to be condensed are, preferably, vapors produced in distillation or pyrolysis processes of wood, forestry products, organic materials, coal, petroleum, metals or inorganic compounds. 
     
     
         4 . A fast cooling equipment for organic or inorganic vapors according to  claim 1 , wherein the cooling gas is, preferably, a non-condensable gas from distillation or pyrolysis processes of wood, forestry products, organic materials, coal, petroleum, metals or inorganic compounds, or an inert gas such as nitrogen or the like at a temperature of 60° C. or lower. 
     
     
         5 . A fast cooling equipment for organic or inorganic vapors according to  claim 1 , wherein the cooling liquid is, preferably, a biofuel produced in distillation or pyrolysis processes of wood, forestry products, organic materials, coal, petroleum, or other inorganic or organic liquid at a temperature of 60° C. or lower.
