Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of distillation towers, in particular to a gas-phase feed distillation tower for ethylene carbonate. Background Art

[0002] A distillation tower is a tower-type gas-liquid contact device for distillation. It uses the different volatilities of the components in the mixture, that is, the different vapor pressures of the components at the same temperature, to transfer the light components (low-boiling substances) in the liquid phase to the gas phase, and the heavy components (high-boiling substances) in the gas phase to the liquid phase, thereby achieving the purpose of separation.

[0003] The traditional feeding method is liquid phase feeding. Ethylene carbonate is condensed in the thin film evaporator, buffered in the storage tank, and then pumped into the feed port.

These impurities may affect the efficiency of the distillation process and the product quality, and may even damage the distillation tower itself. The distillation efficiency can be improved by preheating the gaseous material. Therefore, filtering the gas before it enters the distillation tower can remove these impurities, ensure that the gas entering the distillation tower is pure, and preheat it to improve the distillation efficiency, distillation effect and product quality.

[0029] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the heat exchange tube 15 is located inside the heat exchange tank 3 and is rotatably connected to a sleeve 16. A heat exchange plate 17 is fixed to the outer surface of the sleeve 16. A gear 18 is fixed to the left side of the outer surface of the sleeve 16. A plurality of gears 18 are meshed and connected to a gear 2 19. A rotating rod 1 20 is fixed at the center of the left side of the gear 2 19.
