Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of the production process of nylon 6 (nylon) chips, and specifically relates to a cooling system and a process thereof which adopts a high boiling point fluid as a cooling medium for a partial condenser in a nylon 6 polymerization process. Background Art
[0002] The cooling medium commonly used in traditional nylon 6 polymerization devices is circulating water, but in some occasions where the temperature of the cooled material is high, such as the partial condenser at the top of the cracker and the reactor, the cooling medium is not suitable for circulating water. In these occasions, it is necessary to control the condensation amount of the material in the partial condenser by adjusting the flow rate of the cooling medium to achieve the adjustment of the reflux ratio of the packed tower and the partial condenser. Since the temperature of the cooled material is high (greater than 100°C, exceeding the normal pressure boiling point of water), when circulating water is used as the cooling medium, there are two methods to ensure that the circulating water does not vaporize. One method is that the circulating water flow rate cannot be lower than the flow rate when the return water temperature is equal to 100°C, which means that the minimum flow rate of the circulating water is limited, and it is impossible to control the condensation amount of the material in the partial condenser by adjusting the circulating water flow rate; the other method is to increase the circulating water pressure so that the boiling point of the circulating water pressure is higher than the temperature of the cooled material, which can ensure that the circulating water does not vaporize, but this will increase the design pressure of the circulating water system, especially when the temperature of the cooled material is above 200°C, the design pressure of the circulating water system is greatly increased, and additional equipment investment is required.
[0003] That is to say, in the traditional nylon 6 polymerization process, circulating hot water at about 70°C is used as the cooling medium for the partial condenser. In the nylon 6 polymerization process, the temperature of the condensed material in the partial condenser is relatively high, usually above 100°C. When the system condensation capacity needs to be reduced, since the heat exchange area of the partial condenser is fixed, it can only be achieved by reducing the flow rate of circulating hot water. However, the return water temperature of the circulating hot water will increase with the decrease of the hot water flow rate. When the condensation capacity is reduced to a certain value, the return water temperature of the hot water will reach the boiling point under the working pressure, and the hot water will vaporize in the partial condenser, affecting the stability of the operating state of the partial condenser. Therefore, the minimum flow rate of the circulating hot water will be limited, and it is impossible to accurately control the condensation amount of the material in the partial condenser by adjusting the flow rate of the circulating hot water. In the case of using circulating hot water at about 70°C as the cooling medium for the partial condenser in the traditional nylon 6 polymerization process, in order to avoid the above-mentioned problem of vaporization of the circulating water at low flow, it is necessary to increase the working pressure of the circulating water so that the boiling point of the circulating water pressure is higher than the temperature of the cooled material, which in turn brings about the problem of increased design pressure of the circulating water system and increased equipment investment.
[0004] In the traditional nylon 6 polymerization process, partial condensers are respectively arranged on the top of the cracking reactor, the pre-polymerization reactor and the post-polymerization reactor. When circulating hot water is used as the cooling medium for the partial condensers, there are two ways to set up the hot water circulation system. One setting method is that all partial condensers share a set of hot water circulation cooling system, and the other setting method is to set up an independent hot water circulation cooling system for the partial condensers at different positions. Both of these setting methods have their own problems. Due to the different working temperatures, working pressures and required condensation volumes of partial condensers at different locations, when a hot water circulation cooling system is shared, the circulating hot water can only control one working temperature and working pressure, and it is impossible to set the working temperature and working pressure of the circulating hot water according to the process requirements of different partial condensers, which further affects the accurate control of the condensation volume (reflux ratio) of the partial condensers, and ultimately increases the energy and material consumption of the polymerization device and affects the process stability; when a set of independent hot water circulation cooling systems are set for different partial condensers, although the matching problem of the working temperature and working pressure of the circulating hot water system with the working temperature and working pressure of the partial condensers can be solved to a certain extent, it still cannot fundamentally solve the problem of the circulating hot water flow being too low and easy to vaporize mentioned above. At the same time, compared with sharing a set of cooling circulation systems, there are still problems of complex system, large equipment investment and relatively large workload of daily operation and maintenance. Therefore, a new technical solution is urgently needed to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention
[0005] The present invention discloses a cooling system and a process flow thereof which use a high boiling point fluid as a cooling medium for a partial condenser in a nylon 6 polymerization process, and is used to indirectly control the condensation amount of materials in the partial condenser by adjusting the flow rate of the cooling medium, and to adjust the reflux ratio of the packing tower and the partial condenser. The system is applied to the cooling system of the top partial condensers of the cracking reactor, the pre-polymerization reactor, the post-polymerization reactor and the like of the nylon 6 polymerization device. The top operating temperature of these reactors is relatively high, and the vapor evaporated from the top of these reactors contains a large amount of caprolactam monomer. It is necessary to partially condense and reflux the materials in the partial condenser to separate the caprolactam in the vapor and reduce the content of the caprolactam monomer in the vapor discharged from the partial condenser. In order to achieve the best separation effect and avoid extra energy consumption due to excessive condensation, it is necessary to accurately control the reflux ratio (condensation amount).
[0006] The present invention improves the cooling system of the partial condenser of the traditional nylon 6 polymerization device, adopts a high boiling point fluid as a cooling medium, and reasonably designs the process flow to achieve the purpose of controlling the condensation amount of the material in the partial condenser by adjusting the flow rate of the cooling medium.

The circulation pump, cooler and partial condenser can be connected in sequence to form a circulation pipeline; or the circulation pump, partial condenser and cooler can be connected in sequence to form a circulation pipeline.
[0013] In the cooling system described above, preferably, the high boiling point cooling medium is circulated in a closed system, and the circulation flow rate of the high boiling point cooling medium can be controlled. Specifically, a flow meter and a flow regulating valve are arranged at the outlet of the circulation pump, and the circulation flow rate of the high boiling point cooling medium is controlled by adjusting the opening of the flow regulating valve.
[0014] In the cooling system described above, the cooler is a water cooler; specifically, there are two ways to control the circulation temperature of the high boiling point cooling medium:

[0017] In the cooling system described above, the condenser is also connected to a collecting tank, and the condensed material outlet of the condenser is connected to the inlet of the collecting tank; the condenser is used to provide cooling for the gas output from the top outlet of the partial condenser, and the product after cooling by the condenser is collected by the collecting tank.

[0026] When the high-boiling-point cooling medium used in the closed circulation system needs to be replaced or discharged, the high-boiling-point cooling medium circulating in the closed system can be recovered by opening the manual drain valve provided on the discharge pipeline.
