Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of condensing devices, in particular to a condensing device for producing n-propyl acetate. Background Art

[0002] n-Propyl acetate, as an important organic solvent and chemical raw material, is widely used in many fields such as coatings, inks, fragrances, and medicines. Its production process usually involves an esterification reaction, that is, acetic acid and n-propanol react in the presence of a catalyst to produce n-propyl acetate. In addition to the target product n-propyl acetate, this reaction process also produces a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure steam, unreacted raw materials, by-products, and possible solid impurities.

[0003] Since the high-temperature and high-pressure steam generated during the production of n-propyl acetate is directly discharged to the outside, it not only pollutes the air, but also causes a lot of heat energy to be wasted, and may also cause damage to production equipment and even cause safety accidents. In order to achieve the effect of treating the hot steam, a corresponding condensing device is usually installed at the gas outlet end of the n-propyl acetate production equipment. There are many types of condensing devices on the market. When most condensing devices are in use, an exhaust pipe is arranged, and a condensing pipe is provided in the exhaust pipe. By transporting cold water into the condensing pipe for heat exchange, the steam is condensed and the heat in the steam is recovered and utilized.

[0004] There are many types of condensing devices on the market. To achieve better condensation and increase heat exchange time, the exhaust pipes on most n-propyl acetate production equipment are relatively long, and the corresponding condensing pipes are also long. In this case, although good heat exchange can be achieved, the long pipes take up more space, especially long straight pipes, which take up more space in the workshop and cause inconvenience to users. In view of this, we have proposed a condensing device for n-propyl acetate production. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 The utility model provides a technical solution: a condensing device for producing n-propyl acetate, comprising a steam pipe 1, a serpentine pipe 10 is fixedly installed at the gas outlet end of the steam pipe 1, an exhaust pipe 11 is fixedly installed at the gas outlet end of the serpentine pipe 10, a water inlet pipe 2 is fixedly installed on the exhaust pipe 11, a spiral heat exchange pipe 20 is fixedly installed at the water outlet end of the water inlet pipe 2, the spiral heat exchange pipe 20 is located in the serpentine pipe 10, a water outlet pipe 21 is fixedly installed at the water outlet end of the spiral heat exchange pipe 20, the water outlet pipe 21 passes through the steam pipe 1, the spiral heat exchange pipe 20 is spiral, and the spiral heat exchange pipe 20 is arranged along the pipeline direction of the serpentine pipe 10 to realize the condensation and heat exchange operation of water passing into the spiral heat exchange pipe 20. In addition, the curved arrangement of the serpentine pipe 10 can reduce the occupied space, which is beneficial to the steam condensation operation in the production process of n-propyl acetate;

[0029] Specifically, a drainage assembly 3 is provided at the bottom of the serpentine tube 10. The drainage assembly 3 includes a plurality of drainage pipes 30 fixedly mounted on the bottom tube body of the serpentine tube 10. An outer row tube 31 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the drainage pipe 30. An inlet chamber 311 and an outlet chamber 32 are respectively provided in the left and right sides of the outer row tube 31. The inlet chamber 311 and the outlet chamber 32 are connected through the water inlet hole 33. The inlet chamber 311 is connected to the drainage pipe 30. A conical cylinder 34 is fixedly mounted on the wall of the outlet chamber 32. A floating chamber 36 is provided on the top wall of the outlet chamber 32. The outlet chamber 32 and the floating chamber 33 are connected. 6 are respectively slidably connected with a blocking ball 38 and a floating ball 37, and the blocking ball 38 and the floating ball 37 are connected by a guide rod 371 to ensure that when in use, as water accumulates in the serpentine tube 10, the accumulated water enters the water outlet chamber 32, which can drive the floating ball 37 to float up. After the floating ball 37 floats up, it can drive the blocking ball 38 to move upward. At this time, the blocking ball 38 no longer blocks the conical tube 34, and the accumulated water can be discharged normally. When the accumulated water is discharged, the floating ball 37 drops, and the blocking ball 38 continues to block the conical tube 34, thereby preventing the steam from escaping during the production of n-propyl acetate.

[0030] In this embodiment, the float 37 is located above the water inlet 33, the conical cylinder 34 is funnel-shaped, the ball diameter of the sealing ball 38 is larger than the inner diameter of the bottom end of the conical cylinder 34, and the size of the float 37 is adapted to the size of the upper float chamber 36, which is used for the normal up and down movement of the float 37 and the normal sealing operation of the sealing ball 38.

[0031] Specifically, a water passage tray 35 is fixedly installed on the top wall of the water outlet chamber 32, the guide rod 371 passes through the water passage tray 35 and is slidably connected to the water passage tray 35, and the float 37 is located above the water passage tray 35; a guide hole 351 is provided at the center position of the water passage tray 35, the guide rod 371 passes through the guide hole 351 and is slidably connected to the guide hole 351, thereby guiding the movement of the float 37.

[0032] Furthermore, the water tray 35 is provided with a plurality of vertical water holes 352 , and both ends of the water holes 352 are respectively connected to the floating chamber 36 and the water outlet chamber 32 , so that water can flow normally along the water holes 352 .

[0033] In addition, an outflow pipe 39 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the water outlet chamber 32 , and the outflow pipe 39 is connected to the water outlet chamber 32 so that the accumulated water can be discharged normally outward along the outflow pipe 39 .

[0034] When the condensing device for producing n-propyl acetate of the present invention is used, the steam pipe 1 is connected to the steam exhaust pipe on the n-propyl acetate production equipment, the exhaust pipe 11 is connected to the external treatment equipment, the water inlet pipe 2 is connected to the cold water inlet pipe, and the water outlet pipe 21 is connected to the external water pipe. After the steam enters through the steam pipe 1, the steam can enter the serpentine pipe 10. After the water enters the water inlet pipe 2, the water enters the spiral heat exchange tube 20 and can perform heat exchange operation with the steam in the serpentine pipe 10. The hot water after heat exchange is discharged through the water outlet pipe 21, and the gas after heat exchange is discharged through the exhaust pipe 11.

[0035] As condensed water is generated in the serpentine tube 10, the condensed water flows along the drain pipe 30 at the bottom of the serpentine tube 10 into the water inlet chamber 311, and then flows along the water inlet hole 33 into the water outlet chamber 32. As the amount of water in the water outlet chamber 32 increases, the water in the water outlet chamber 32 enters the floating chamber 36 through the water hole 352, driving the float 37 to float up. The buoyancy of the float 37 is greater than that of the float 37, the blocking ball 38 and the guide rod 371. The gravity of the ball 37 drives the sealing ball 38 to move upward. At this time, the sealing ball 38 no longer blocks the conical tube 34, and the accumulated water can be discharged from the outflow pipe 39 along the bottom of the water outlet chamber 32. After the accumulated water is discharged, the buoyancy of the float 37 is less than the gravity of the float 37, the sealing ball 38 and the guide rod 371. At this time, the sealing ball 38 will move downward and block the conical tube 34, completing the sealing operation to prevent steam from escaping.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely preferred examples of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
