Apparatus for Producing Tire Oil from Waste Tires

Abstract

Disclosed relates to an apparatus for producing tire oil from waste tires, which does not incinerate the waste tires but produce tire oil from the waste tires. The apparatus of the invention pyrolyzes waste tires at comparatively low temperature by supplying oxygen of small quantity. Accordingly, the apparatus for producing tire oil from waste tires does not contaminate environment but utilizes the waste tires efficiently.

1 . An apparatus for producing tire oil from waste tires comprising:
 a pyrolysis equipment including a tires drop and a gas outlet on a top thereof, an igniter in a predetermined height and an oxygen supply pipe for supplying oxygen of small quantity from a bottom, the pyrolysis equipment pyrolyzing waste tires by applying heat of 180° C. to 200° C. direct to the waste tires;   a quick cooler including a cooling oil inlet connected from an outside to a top inside thereof, a cooling oil sprayer provided on the top inside thereof, a gas inlet on a lower position thereof and a gas outlet on one side of the top thereof, the quick cooler ejecting cooling oil to hydrocarbon gas, discharged from the gas outlet of the pyrolysis equipment and introduced via the gas inlet to turn the hydrocarbon gas into oil;   a first condenser of a predetermined volume including a cooling water circulating pipe established on an outer circumference thereof, a gas inlet provided on a top center thereof, an oil outlet formed on a bottom center thereof and a gas outlet provided near the oil outlet, the first condenser firstly condensing the hydrocarbon gas, not liquefied in the quick cooler but discharged via the gas outlet and introduced into the first condenser via the gas inlet, to turn the hydrocarbon gas into oil;   a second condenser of a predetermined volume including a cooling water circulating pipe established on an outer circumference thereof, a gas inlet provided on a top center thereof, an oil outlet formed on a bottom center thereof and a gas outlet provided near the oil outlet, the second condenser secondly condensing the hydrocarbon gas, not liquefied in the first condenser but discharged via the gas outlet and introduced into the first condenser via the gas inlet, to turn the hydrocarbon gas into oil;   a plurality of sludge separator, connected with a bottom of the quick cooler, including an oil outlet provided on a top of outer circumference and a sludge outlet on a bottom center thereof, the sludge separator separating sludge from oil discharged from the quick cooler;   a water separator for separating water from tire oil introduced from the oil outlets of the sludge separator, the first condenser, the second condenser via pipe lines; and   an oil tank for storing tire oil introduced from the water separator via a pipe line.   
   
   
       2 . The apparatus for producing tire oil from waste tires as recited in  claim 1 , wherein sludge separated and discharged from the sludge separator and non-condensing gas, not condensed in the second condenser but discharged, are fed back into the pyrolysis equipment via separate pipe lines, respectively.
