Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of packed towers, in particular to a packed tower with a circulation reflux function and a use method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Packed towers offer low fluid resistance and are suitable for processes with large gas volumes and small liquid volumes. Liquid flows downward along the packing surface, with the gas and liquid flowing in countercurrent or cocurrent, depending on the specific reaction. Packed towers contain relatively small amounts of liquid, and the flow pattern within the tower, whether in the gas or liquid phase, resembles piston flow.
[0003] When gas and liquid come into contact in the packing of a packed tower, multiple layers of packing are often used to ensure sufficient contact, which increases the height and volume of the packed tower, resulting in a large amount of space occupied. At the same time, after the gas and liquid are fully in contact, a large amount of foam is easily generated. If not handled in time, the foam will enter the exhaust pipe, causing a large amount of liquid to be contained in the gas. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The problem solved by the present invention is to provide a packed tower with a circulation reflux function and a method for using the same, so as to solve the technical problem that when gas and liquid come into contact in the packing of the packed tower, in order to ensure sufficient contact, multiple layers of packing are often provided, thereby increasing the height and volume of the packed tower and causing a large space to be occupied; at the same time, after the gas and liquid are fully in contact, a large amount of foam is easily generated. If not handled in time, the foam will enter the exhaust pipe, resulting in a large amount of liquid contained in the gas.
[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A packed tower with a circulation reflux function comprises a tower body, a liquid outlet pipe and an air inlet pipe are installed at the bottom of the tower body, a liquid inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe are installed at the top of the tower body, the liquid outlet pipe is connected to a reflux pipe and a liquid discharge pipe through a first reversing valve, and the reflux pipe is connected to the liquid inlet pipe, a liquid pump is installed on the reflux pipe, and the air inlet pipe is connected to the air outlet pipe and an exhaust pipe through a second reversing valve;
[0007] The inside of the tower body is sequentially installed with a first filler support, a first plate wave filler, a first liquid distributor, a liquid collector, a second filler support, a second plate wave filler, a second liquid distributor and a defoaming mechanism from bottom to top, and the inner end of the liquid inlet pipe is located between the second liquid distributor and the defoaming mechanism.
[0008] Preferably, the defoaming mechanism includes a mounting plate fixedly mounted to the tower body, and a first motor and a triangular box are mounted on the top side of the mounting plate.
[0009] Preferably, a shaft sleeve is installed at the output end of the first motor, and the shaft sleeve is movably installed with the polygonal shaft.
[0010] Preferably, a threaded sleeve is installed on the mounting plate for equal angle rotation, and a synchronous wheel is installed on the top of the threaded sleeve inside the triangular box. Several of the synchronous wheels are connected through a synchronous belt transmission. A second motor is installed on the triangular box, and the output end of the second motor is connected to one of the synchronous wheels.
[0011] Preferably, the threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the threaded rod, and the bottom end of the threaded rod is connected to the lifting cover.
[0012] Preferably, the lifting cover is installed with a polygonal shaft bearing at the center, a turntable is installed at the bottom end of the polygonal shaft, an impeller is installed on the bottom side of the turntable through a connecting rod, and a foam inlet pipe is installed on the bottom side of the impeller.
[0013] A method for using a packed tower with a circulating reflux function, the specific operation of the method is as follows:
[0014] Step 1: The liquid enters the tower body through the liquid inlet pipe and flows downward from the top of the tower body. The gas enters the tower body through the air inlet pipe and moves upward from the bottom of the tower body. At this time, the liquid is evenly sprinkled on the second plate wave packing through the second liquid distributor to fully contact with the gas. Then, it is collected by the liquid collector and transported to the first liquid distributor. After passing through the first liquid distributor, it is evenly sprinkled on the first plate wave packing to fully contact with the gas. Then, the gas is discharged through the air outlet pipe, and the liquid is discharged through the liquid outlet pipe and the drain pipe;
[0015] Step 2: The liquid outlet pipe and the liquid inlet pipe are connected through the first reversing valve, and the liquid pump works to transport the liquid back into the tower body through the discharge pipe, the return pipe and the liquid inlet pipe. The air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe are connected through the second reversing valve, and the gas is transported back into the tower body through the air outlet pipe and the air inlet pipe, thus realizing the circulation and reflux contact of liquid and gas.
[0016] Step three: The second motor drives one of the synchronous wheels to rotate, and the synchronous belt transmission is used to realize the synchronous rotation of several synchronous wheels. At this time, the rotating threaded sleeve cooperates with the threaded rod connected with the thread to realize the lifting and lowering of the lifting cover. When the lifting cover is lifted, the polygonal shaft moves in the sleeve. At this time, the first motor is used to realize the rotation of the sleeve, polygonal shaft, turntable, connecting rod, impeller and foam inlet pipe. The generated foam is located on the impeller through the foam inlet pipe. As the impeller rotates, the foam is thrown to the inner wall of the lifting cover by centrifugal force to achieve foam crushing.
[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by adjusting the direction of the first reversing valve and the second reversing valve, the liquid outlet pipe and the liquid inlet pipe are connected, and the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe are connected, thereby realizing the circulation and reflux of gas and liquid, and facilitating full contact between gas and liquid in the plate wave packing;
[0018] The lifting cover is raised and lowered by the second motor, thereby adjusting the height of the foam inlet pipe, so as to facilitate adjustment of the foam inlet pipe according to the height of the generated foam, thereby preventing excessive foam from entering the air intake pipe. At the same time, the highly rotating impeller utilizes centrifugal force to throw the foam to the inner wall of the lifting cover, thereby breaking the foam and achieving defoaming.
