Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of condenser technology, specifically a tower top condenser. Background Technology

[0002] As a key piece of equipment in the separation and purification process of chemical production, the top condenser is widely used in distillation columns and other devices. In chemical production, the high-temperature gaseous substances distilled from the top of the column contain valuable components. The top condenser can quickly cool and condense these high-temperature gaseous substances into liquid phase. Through this process, valuable components can be recovered, resources can be effectively utilized, and the temperature and pressure at the top of the column can be precisely controlled.

[0003] During the installation of the tower top condenser, both vertical and horizontal installations are possible. However, regardless of the installation method chosen, the problem of uneven gas diffusion remains. Inside the condenser, the gas distribution is relatively slow and cannot spread evenly as ideally. Excessively high gas concentration in local areas becomes the norm. This uneven gas distribution makes it difficult for some areas to fully realize the condensation effect, resulting in low heat transfer efficiency and a significant reduction in condensation efficiency. Over time, this not only affects the normal operation of the condenser but also has an adverse impact on the entire production process, reducing overall production efficiency and increasing energy consumption and costs. Therefore, we propose a tower top condenser. Utility Model Content

[0004] One of the technical problems this application aims to solve is the difficulty in uniformly dispersing the gas phase. Inside the condenser, the gas phase distribution is relatively slow and cannot be dispersed uniformly as ideally.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, embodiments of this application provide a tower top condenser, including a shell, and further comprising:

[0006] A condenser tube is disposed inside the housing, and there are multiple condenser tubes, each of which is U-shaped.

[0007] A diffusion unit is disposed within a housing. The diffusion unit includes a ring and a driving element. The driving element drives the ring to reciprocate linearly, thereby diffusing the input gas.

[0008] In some embodiments, the diffusion unit includes a ring body slidably disposed within a housing, a limiting rod fixedly connected within the housing, the limiting rod slidably passing through the ring body, and a driving component disposed within the housing for driving the ring body to move.

[0009] In some embodiments, the drive unit includes a frame disposed within a housing, with multiple fixed rods fixedly connected to the outside of the frame. The frame is fixedly connected to the interior of the housing via the fixed rods. A fan wheel is rotatably connected inside the frame. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fan wheel. A crank is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft. A first connecting rod is rotatably connected to one end of the crank. A second connecting rod is rotatably connected to one end of the first connecting rod. The second connecting rod is fixedly connected to a ring body, and the end of the second connecting rod is slidably connected within the housing.

[0010] In some embodiments, the number of the rings is set to multiple, the multiple rings are equidistant from each other, and the multiple rings are all fixedly connected to the second connecting rod.

[0011] In some embodiments, the bottom of the housing is fixedly connected to two supports, each of which has multiple through holes and slots.

[0012] In some embodiments, an input pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the housing, the bottom end of the input pipe extends into the housing, the central axis of the bottom end of the input pipe is coaxial with the central axis of the wind turbine, and an output pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing.

[0013] In some embodiments, an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe are fixedly connected to the outer end of the housing. The inlet pipe is connected to the input end of a plurality of condenser tubes, and the outlet pipe is connected to the output end of a plurality of condenser tubes.

[0014] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] Gas is introduced into the housing through the input pipe, which in turn drives the drive unit to operate. The drive unit then moves multiple coils back and forth in a straight line within the housing, thereby agitating and diffusing the gas inside, ensuring uniform condensation. This avoids the problem of uneven diffusion of the gas phase within the condenser, which would otherwise reduce condensation efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1

[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] A tower top condenser includes a shell 1, and further includes: condenser tubes 2 and diffusion units 3. The condenser tubes 2 are disposed inside the shell 1, and there are multiple condenser tubes 2, each of which is U-shaped. The diffusion unit 3 is disposed inside the shell 1, and the diffusion unit 3 includes a ring body 31 and a driving member 33. The driving member 33 drives the ring body 31 to reciprocate linearly, thereby diffusing the input gas.

[0025] The diffusion unit 3 includes a ring 31 slidably disposed within a housing 1. A limiting rod 32 is fixedly connected within the housing 1 and slides through the ring 31. A driving component 33 is disposed within the housing 1 to drive the ring 31 to move. The gas drives the impeller 333 to rotate, and the impeller 333 synchronously drives the rotating shaft 334 and crank 335 to rotate, which in turn drives the first connecting rod 336 to rotate. The first connecting rod 336 then drives the second connecting rod 337 to reciprocate linearly. It should be noted that the ring 31 is limited and slidably disposed within the housing 1, thus allowing for linear reciprocating movement. The impeller 333 changes with the gas input speed, and the speed of the ring 31 changes accordingly.

[0026] The drive unit 33 includes a frame 331 disposed inside the housing 1. Multiple fixing rods 332 are fixedly connected to the outside of the frame 331. The frame 331 is fixedly connected to the inside of the housing 1 through the fixing rods 332. A fan wheel 333 is rotatably connected inside the frame 331. A rotating shaft 334 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fan wheel 333. A crank 335 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 334. A first connecting rod 336 is rotatably connected to one end of the crank 335. A second connecting rod 337 is rotatably connected to one end of the first connecting rod 336. The second connecting rod 337 is fixedly connected to the ring body 31. The end of the second connecting rod 337 is slidably connected inside the housing 1. The multiple ring bodies 31 will not interfere with the condenser tube 2.

[0027] In use, gas is introduced into the housing 1 through the input pipe 5, which first drives the impeller 333 to rotate. The impeller 333 then drives the rotating shaft 334 and crank 335 to rotate, which in turn drives the first connecting rod 336 to rotate. The first connecting rod 336 then drives the second connecting rod 337 to move back and forth in a straight line, which in turn drives multiple rings 31 to move back and forth in a straight line within the housing 1, thereby agitating and diffusing the gas inside and causing it to condense evenly. Example 2

[0028] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0029] Unlike Embodiment 1, the bottom of the shell 1 is fixedly connected to two supports 4, each of which has multiple through holes 41. The supports 4 are installed on the top of the tower using bolts and the through holes 41, allowing for both horizontal and vertical installation as needed. Both supports 4 are slotted. The top of the shell 1 is fixedly connected to an input pipe 5, the bottom end of which extends into the shell 1. The central axis of the bottom end of the input pipe 5 is coaxial with the central axis of the wind turbine 333. The bottom of the shell 1 is fixedly connected to an output pipe 6. The outer end of the shell 1 is fixedly connected to an inlet pipe 7 and an outlet pipe 8. The inlet pipe 7 is connected to the input end of multiple condenser pipes 2, and the outlet pipe 8 is connected to the output end of multiple condenser pipes 2.

[0030] Gas is connected to the inlet pipe 5, and at the same time, condensing circulating liquid is connected to the inlet pipe 7. The liquid then flows through the condenser pipe 2 and is discharged through the outlet pipe 8. The condensing circulating liquid cools the gas phase and condenses it into a liquid phase. The liquid phase is then discharged through the outlet pipe 6.
