Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a high-efficiency reboiler and a distillation tower, belonging to the technical field of reboilers. Background Art

[0002] In my country's petroleum, chemical, rubber, plastic, chemical fiber, food and other production fields, reboilers are one of the key equipment in the process system. They re-vaporize the liquid phase at the bottom of the distillation tower, thereby achieving heat and mass transfer between the vapor and liquid phases in the distillation tower.

[0003] As production runs increase, scaling is more likely to form, reducing heat exchange efficiency and increasing fluid resistance, leading to reduced production efficiency, increased production costs, and even safety hazards. Therefore, reboiler cleaning has become an issue that cannot be ignored. Commonly used descaling methods include mechanical descaling such as high-pressure water guns, alkaline washing (boiling) descaling, and pickling descaling. Descaling is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and also causes economic losses to the factory. In addition, the scale in the reboiler heating tubes is mostly carbonized coke scale, which is composed of complex chemical substances. It is difficult to pickle like calcium and magnesium scale, and it is also difficult to clean with a high-pressure water gun.

[0004] After searching, a Chinese patent with announcement number CN219091093U discloses an anti-scaling structure and a reboiler for producing 2-methyl-3-biphenylmethanol. The technical key points are: it includes: a shell; a drive component, which is arranged on the outside of a support away from the open end of the shell; a stirring mechanism, which is transmission-connected to the drive component and rotates through the closed end of the shell; and a support, which is symmetrically arranged on the lower side of the shell. The utility model further improves the material stirring force and the complexity of liquid movement, increases the impact force and disorder of the material liquid, ensures uniform heat exchange of the liquid in each area, and can further significantly delay and reduce the occurrence of precipitation and scaling of the material in the reboiler.

[0005] The above solution delays the precipitation and scaling phenomenon, but after long-term use, dirt will still form on the outer wall of the heat exchange tube, which requires manual cleaning. However, due to the dense heat exchange tubes inside the shell, it is impossible to enter the interior for cleaning through the manhole. High-pressure water gun cleaning is more difficult, and there are many dead corners that are difficult to clean thoroughly.

[0006] Therefore, a new solution needs to be proposed to solve this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0018] A distillation tower comprises a tower body and a reboiler, wherein the tower body is connected to a shell side inlet of the reboiler through a first connecting pipe, and the tower body is connected to a shell side outlet of the reboiler through a second connecting pipe.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0020] 1. By providing a cleaning plate and a driving member, in conjunction with the cleaning member provided in the through hole, after the reboiler has been used for a long time, when the outer wall of the U-shaped heat exchange tube needs to be cleaned due to scaling, the driving motor is started. Driven by the driving motor, the sliding member reciprocates along the axial direction of the shell, thereby driving the cleaning plate slidably sleeved on the U-shaped heat exchange tube to move, and the cleaning member scrapes the dirt on the outer wall of the U-shaped heat exchange tube. When not in use, the cleaning plate moves to the end of the shell opposite to the liquid inlet cavity and the liquid outlet cavity, thereby supporting the U-shaped heat exchange tube, reducing the space occupied by the internal space of the shell, and not affecting the use of the heat exchanger.

[0021] 2. During the reciprocating motion of the cleaning plate along the U-shaped heat exchange tube, the cleaning piece arranged in the through hole is attached to the outer wall of the U-shaped heat exchange tube. When the cleaning piece moves toward one end of the shell, the roller brush rotates 90 degrees in the forward direction under the action of friction, so that the first cleaning surface of the roller brush is attached to the outer wall of the U-shaped heat exchange tube. Since the silver wire cloth layer is provided on the first cleaning surface, the dirt on the outer wall of the U-shaped heat exchange tube can be effectively wiped off. When the cleaning piece moves toward the other end of the shell, the roller brush rotates 90 degrees in the reverse direction under the action of friction, so that the second cleaning surface of the roller brush is against the outer wall of the U-shaped heat exchange tube. Connected to the outer wall of the U-shaped heat exchange tube, since the second cleaning surface is a flexible cleaning surface, when the second cleaning surface abuts against the U-shaped heat exchange tube, the second abutting surface pushes the abutting rod to open the sealing plate. At this time, the staff inputs cleaning liquid into the annular water storage cavity outside the through hole through the water inlet main pipe. The cleaning liquid in the annular water storage cavity flows out through the water outlet and the closed hole and penetrates into the coating layer of the roller brush. The cleaning liquid is scrubbed against the outer wall of the U-shaped heat exchange tube through the second cleaning surface, and the dirt scraped off the outer wall of the U-shaped heat exchange tube is wiped off, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the U-shaped heat exchange tube.

[0022] 3. By arranging a thermal insulation plate inside the shell and respectively providing a first sliding groove on the shell and a second sliding groove on the thermal insulation plate, the sliding member can not only always ensure the sealing inside the shell during the sliding process, but also ensure the thermal insulation of the reboiler under normal operating conditions by providing an insulation layer, reduce heat escape to the outside, and thus reduce energy waste;

[0023] 4. By arranging a connecting part between the driving part and the cleaning plate, with the cooperation of the support plate, the driving plate, the upper push rod and the lower push rod, when the driving part pushes the cleaning plate to move to the bending part of the U-shaped heat exchange tube, the cleaning plate is restricted from moving by the U-shaped heat exchange tube. At this time, the driving plate overcomes the elastic force of the supporting spring between the driving plate and the support plate, and applies the force directly to the first semicircular plate and the second semicircular plate through the upper push rod and the lower push rod, so that the first semicircular plate and the second semicircular plate can be folded to clean the bending part of the U-shaped heat exchange tube, thereby ensuring the cleaning efficiency of the U-shaped heat exchange tube.

The two ends of the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2 are respectively connected to the liquid inlet cavity 5 and the liquid outlet cavity 6. The shell 1 is provided with a tube-side inlet 7 and a tube-side outlet 8 corresponding to the liquid inlet cavity 5 and the liquid outlet cavity 6 respectively. A sewage pipe 9 is provided at the bottom of the shell 1. An annular cavity 10 is opened inside the peripheral wall of the shell 1, and an insulation plate 11 is provided in the annular cavity 10.

[0036] A cleaning plate 12 is sleeved on the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2. The cleaning plate 12 has through holes 13 corresponding to the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2. The through holes 13 are regular polygonal and have multiple supporting surfaces 14. Cleaning pieces 15 are provided in the through holes 13, and each supporting surface 14 is provided with a cleaning piece 15.

[0037] Specifically, the cleaning member 15 includes a roller brush 16 rotatably supported on the supporting surface 14, the roller brush 16 includes a roller body 17 and a covering layer 18, the covering layer 18 is made of a cleaning sponge material, the cross-section of the roller brush 16 is square, and the two opposite corners have rounded corners 19 whose centers coincide with the rotation axis of the roller brush 16, the two surfaces of the roller brush 16 adjacent to one rounded corner 19 are respectively a first cleaning surface 20 and a second cleaning surface 21, and the two surfaces of the roller brush 16 adjacent to the other rounded corner 19 are respectively a first abutting surface 22 and a second abutting surface 23, the first abutting surface 22 is opposite to the first cleaning surface 20, and the second abutting surface 23 is opposite to the second cleaning surface 21, the first cleaning surface 20 is provided with a silver wire cloth layer 24, the silver wire cloth layer 24 is attached to the outside of the covering layer 18 to constitute the first cleaning surface 20, and the second cleaning surface 21 is set to a flexible cleaning surface, which is a flexible cleaning surface made of a cleaning sponge material dog.

[0038] The cleaning plate 12 is hollow, and an annular water storage chamber 25 is provided inside the cleaning plate 12 on the periphery of the through hole 13. Several annular water storage chambers 25 are interconnected by connecting pipes 26, and one of the annular water storage chambers 25 is connected to a water inlet main pipe 27 extending to the outside of the shell 1. Since the cleaning sponge has a certain water absorption capacity, the cleaning liquid in the annular water storage chamber 25 can penetrate into the cleaning liquid and be rubbed onto the outer wall of the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2.

[0039] In order to facilitate the control of the cleaning liquid in the annular water storage chamber 25, a closing member 28 is provided on the inner wall of the annular water storage chamber 25 corresponding to each supporting surface 14. The closing member 28 includes a sealing plate 29 elastically hinged to the inner side wall of the annular water outlet groove, and an abutting rod 30 fixedly connected to the sealing plate 29, passing through the supporting surface 14 and extending into the through hole 13. Specifically, a torsion spring (not shown in the figure) is provided at the hinge axis of the sealing plate 29. The abutting rod 30 extends in an arc shape around the hinge axis of the sealing plate 29 and is slidingly connected to the supporting surface 14 of the through hole 13. A number of evenly distributed water outlet holes 31 connected to the annular water storage chamber 25 are provided on the supporting surface 14, and a number of evenly distributed closing holes 32 are provided on the sealing plate 29. When the sealing plate 29 rotates to abut the inner wall of the annular water storage chamber 25, the several closing holes 32 and the several water outlet holes 31 are staggered.

[0040] During the reciprocating movement of the cleaning plate 12 along the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2, the cleaning member 15 arranged in the through hole 13 is attached to the outer wall of the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2. When the cleaning member 15 moves toward one end of the shell 1, the roller brush 16 rotates 90 degrees in the forward direction under the action of friction, so that the first cleaning surface 20 of the roller brush 16 is attached to the outer wall of the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2. Since the silver wire cloth layer 24 is provided on the first cleaning surface 20, the dirt on the outer wall of the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2 can be effectively wiped off. When the cleaning member 15 moves toward the other end of the shell 1, the roller brush 16 rotates 90 degrees in the reverse direction under the action of friction, so that the second cleaning surface 21 of the roller brush 16 abuts against The outer wall of the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2, since the second cleaning surface 21 is a flexible cleaning surface, when the second cleaning surface 21 abuts against the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2, the second abutting surface 23 pushes the abutting rod 30, so that the sealing plate 29 is opened. At this time, the staff inputs cleaning liquid into the annular water storage cavity 25 around the through hole 13 through the water inlet main pipe 27. The cleaning liquid in the annular water storage cavity 25 flows out through the water outlet 31 and the closed hole 32, and penetrates into the coating layer 18 of the roller brush 16. The outer wall of the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2 is scrubbed with cleaning liquid through the second cleaning surface 21, and the dirt scraped off the outer wall of the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2 is wiped off, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2.

[0041] In order to improve the sealing performance inside the through hole 13 and reduce the ingress of liquid into the shell 1 of the reboiler under normal working conditions, elastic sealing rings 33 are fixedly connected at both ends of the through hole 13. The inner wall of the elastic sealing ring 33 fits the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2, and the inner edge of the elastic sealing ring 33 is provided with a folded edge folded toward the roller brush 16.

[0042] The housing 1 is provided with a driving member 34 for driving the cleaning plate 12 to reciprocate along the length direction of the housing 1. The driving member 34 includes a first sliding groove 35 provided on the peripheral wall of the housing 1 and extending along the length direction thereof, a second sliding groove 36 provided on the insulation plate 11 and extending spirally around its axis, a sliding member 37 slidably connected to the first sliding groove 35 and the second sliding groove 36, a protective shell 38 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing 1 and covering the first sliding groove 35, a driving block 39 slidably connected to the protective shell 38 and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding member 37, and a rotating member 39 connected to the outer wall of the housing 1. A driving screw 40 is threadedly connected to the driving block 39 in the protective shell 38, and a driving motor 41 is fixedly mounted at one end of the protective shell 38 and connected to the driving screw 40. The portions of the insulation plate 11 corresponding to the shell side inlet 3, shell side outlet 4 and drain pipe 9 are provided with avoidance grooves (not shown in the figure) extending along their circumferences, so that the insulation plate 11 does not affect the use of the shell side inlet 3, shell side outlet 4 and drain pipe 9 when in a rotating state. An extension groove 42 is provided at the top of the protective shell 38 for the water inlet main pipe 27 to extend, and the cleaning plate 12 is connected to the sliding member 37.

[0043] The sliding member 37 includes a first plate 43 and a second plate 44 which are respectively slidably connected to the first sliding groove 35 and are respectively located on the inner and outer sides of the insulation plate 11, and a third plate 45 which is fixedly connected between the first plate 43 and the second plate 44 and slidably connected to the second sliding groove 36.

[0044] By arranging a thermal insulation plate 11 in the shell 1, and by respectively opening a first sliding groove 35 on the shell 1 and a second sliding groove 36 on the thermal insulation plate 11, the sliding member 37 can not only always ensure the sealing inside the shell 1 during the sliding process, but also ensure the thermal insulation of the reboiler under normal operating conditions by setting the insulation layer, reduce heat escape to the outside, and thus reduce energy waste.

[0045] In order to further improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning plate 12 on the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2, a connecting piece 48 is provided between the sliding member 37 and the cleaning plate 12. The cleaning plate 12 includes a first semicircular plate 46 and a second semicircular plate 47. The connecting piece 48 includes a support plate 49 and a driving plate 50 arranged on one side of the support plate 49. One end of the driving plate 50 is fixedly connected to the sliding member 37. The cut edges of the first semicircular plate 46 and the second semicircular plate 47 are elastically hinged to the other side of the support plate 49. When there is no external force, the first semicircular plate 46 and the second semicircular plate 47 are in an unfolded state. The upper and lower sides of the driving plate 50 are respectively fixedly connected to an upper push rod 51 and a lower push rod 52 which are slidably penetrated by the support plate 49. The ends of the upper push rod 51 and the lower push rod 52 are provided with rollers 53 which respectively roll against the first semicircular plate 46 and the second semicircular plate 47. A supporting spring 54 is provided between the support plate 49 and the driving plate 50.

[0046] With the cooperation of the support plate 49, the drive plate 50, the upper push rod 51 and the lower push rod 52, when the drive member 34 pushes the cleaning plate 12 to move to the bending part of the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2, since the cleaning plate 12 is restricted from moving by the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2, the drive plate 50 overcomes the elastic force of the support spring 54 between the support plate 49 and the support plate 49, and applies the force directly to the first semicircular plate 46 and the second semicircular plate 47 through the upper push rod 51 and the lower push rod 52, so that the first semicircular plate 46 and the second semicircular plate 47 can be folded to clean the bending part of the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2, thereby ensuring the cleaning efficiency of the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2.

[0047] The implementation principle of the present invention is:

[0048] By setting the cleaning plate 12 and the driving member 34, in conjunction with the cleaning member 15 set in the through hole 13, after the reboiler has been used for a long time, when the outer wall of the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2 is scaled and needs to be cleaned, by starting the driving motor 41, the sliding member 37 is driven by the driving motor 41 to move back and forth along the axial direction of the shell 1, thereby driving the cleaning plate 12 slidingly sleeved on the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2 to move, and the dirt on the outer wall of the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2 is scraped off by the cleaning member 15. When not in use, the cleaning plate 12 moves to one end of the shell 1 relative to the liquid inlet chamber 5 and the liquid outlet chamber 6, which can support the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2, reduce the occupation of the internal space of the shell 1, and do not affect the use of the heat exchanger.
