Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of SAN resin production, and particularly to a scraping wall type heat exchanger. Background Art

[0002] The synthesis of SAN resin is one of the three major synthesis technologies of ABS resin. As the continuous phase of ABS resin, it can be synthesized by bulk, suspension, emulsion and solution polymerization methods. The bulk method for producing ABS resin has a very high effective coefficient, is quite advantageous in terms of technology and economy, and the product quality is also superior. Therefore, the current process for producing SAN resin is mainly the bulk method.

[0003] The process of bulk polymerization is copolymerization of two monomers. When the conversion rate of bulk polymerization is controlled at 50% - 70%, the increase in the molecular weight of the polymer makes the viscosity of the system relatively large, generally higher than 10 - 100 Pa·s, and at the same time, a large amount of reaction heat is released. The high viscosity and high exothermicity seriously affect the stability of the reaction process. Therefore, the removal of polymerization reaction heat is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0004] Currently, the main methods to solve the heat removal problem are as follows: First, by reducing the temperature of the materials entering the polymerization system, a large amount of polymerization heat is removed by using the sensible heat or latent heat of vaporization of the monomers. Second, a part of the polymerization reaction liquid is led out of the reactor, and the reaction heat is removed by the method of cooling it in a heat exchanger and then sending it back to the reactor. However, most of the existing technologies are spiral rotary scraping wall or shell side scraping wall operations. These two methods cannot be applied to on-line cleaning of the tube side, and shell side scraping wall will increase the manufacturing difficulty of the shell, and it is not easy to clean during maintenance. Summary of the Invention
