Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of chemical energy equipment engineering, in particular to a cooling structure of a phosphoric acid combustion tower. Background Art
[0002] In the phosphoric acid production process, the role of the combustion tower is to spray liquid yellow phosphorus into the tower through a special spray gun at high temperature, use compressed air for pressurization, and inhale natural air to burn in the combustion tower. The high temperature generated by the reaction must be fully cooled. The existing method is to set the tower body of the combustion tower into a tube-in-tube structure, that is, a layer of cooling pipes is vertically arranged along the inner wall of the tower body. This type of cooling structure has a certain distance of space between each adjacent cooling pipe, that is, the cooling surface does not completely cover the circumference of the cylinder body, resulting in the inability to cool the filter connecting plate between the tubes and the tubes, which is in a high temperature state for a long time. In addition, the cooling pipes are easy to rupture, and the cooling water will enter the tower and mix with the phosphoric acid, polluting the phosphoric acid. It is also very difficult to repair, which seriously affects the continuity of production. Summary of the invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a cooling structure for a phosphoric acid combustion tower. By arranging two layers of cooling pipes outside the cylinder, the cooling area of the cylinder reaches 100%, which not only increases the cooling area, greatly improves heat recovery, and is economical and practical. The cooling pipes are arranged outside the combustion tower, which also solves the problems of cooling water pollution and maintenance difficulties. The double-layer cooling pipes also increase the strength of the cylinder and extend the service life of the combustion tower.
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a cooling structure of a phosphoric acid combustion tower, comprising a combustion tower, wherein the combustion tower comprises an upper end cap, a cylinder and a lower end cap, wherein a circle of upper annular tubes is fixed at the connection between the upper end cap and the cylinder, and a plurality of steam riser pipe openings are arranged on the upper annular tube; a circle of lower annular tubes is fixed at the connection between the lower end cap and the cylinder, and a plurality of cooling water inlets are arranged on the lower annular tube; a circle of circular tubes is arranged vertically at intervals on the outer side of the cylinder, and adjacent circular tubes are connected and fixed by connecting plates, and the upper and lower ends of the circular tubes are respectively connected with the upper annular tube and the lower annular tube to form a first layer of cooling channels; a semicircular tube is fixed between every two adjacent circular tubes, and the upper and lower ends of the semicircular tubes are also respectively connected with the upper annular tube and the lower annular tube to form a second layer of cooling channels.
[0005] When the combustion tower needs to be cooled, the cooling water enters the lower ring tube from the cooling water inlet. After exchanging heat with the combustion tower through the first and second cooling channels, part of the cooling water is heated to become water vapor. The water vapor and the hot cooling water that absorbs a certain amount of heat are discharged from the steam riser on the upper ring tube to the steam drum, realizing heat recovery and reuse. The second cooling channel fills the cooling gap of the first cooling channel, so that the cooling surface of the cylinder reaches 100%. In addition, the cooling water inlet is set at the bottom and the steam riser is set at the top. The cooling water enters quickly under high pressure and fills the round tube and half-circle tube, achieving the purpose of rapid cooling and heat absorption. The steam rises and can be discharged smoothly from the steam riser. The two layers of cooling channels are located outside the cylinder to avoid cooling water pollution caused by the rupture of the cooling pipe, and it is more convenient to maintain. The two layers of cooling pipes can also increase the strength of the cylinder, making it less likely to deform and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution, the upper head is a conical head, the inner cavity of the upper head is connected to the inner cavity of the phosphoric acid combustion tower, and the outer wall of the upper head is fixed with a water inlet semicircular pipe and a water outlet semicircular pipe that are close to the outer wall of the upper head and run up and down. The water inlet semicircular pipe and the water outlet semicircular pipe are arranged closely, and a water inlet A is provided on the water inlet semicircular pipe, and a steam outlet is provided on the water outlet semicircular pipe. Several circles of semicircular annular pipes A surrounding the outer wall of the upper head are laid between the water inlet semicircular pipe and the water outlet semicircular pipe, and the two ends of the semicircular annular pipe A are respectively connected to the water inlet semicircular pipe and the water outlet semicircular pipe, and the semicircular annular pipe A is close to the outer wall of the upper head, and a first cooling channel of the upper head is formed between the semicircular annular pipe A and the outer wall of the upper head. When the combustion tower is working, due to the rise of hot air, the temperature at the upper head is even higher than the temperature in the middle of the cylinder. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to cool the upper head. A water inlet semicircular pipe and a water outlet semicircular pipe are arranged on the outer wall of the upper head, and a semicircular ring pipe A is laid to form a first cooling channel of the upper head on the outer wall of the upper head, which effectively reduces the temperature at the upper head, improves the safety of the combustion tower, and extends the service life of the combustion tower; the steam outlet on the water outlet semicircular pipe is connected to the steam drum, and the cooling water after heat exchange is at a high temperature or is partially vaporized into water vapor. The hot cooling water and steam are sent to the steam drum and can be collected and reused.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution, a semicircular annular tube B is stacked between every two adjacent semicircular annular tubes A, and the two ends of the semicircular annular tube B are also respectively connected to the water inlet semicircular tube and the water outlet semicircular tube. A second cooling channel of the upper head is formed between the semicircular annular tube B and the semicircular annular tube A. The second cooling channel of the upper head can fill the cooling gap of the first cooling channel of the upper head, thereby improving the cooling effect of the upper head.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution, a water inlet B is also provided on the water inlet semicircular pipe. Because under normal circumstances, the upper head of the combustion tower is large in volume and the water inlet speed of one water inlet is limited, it may be difficult to achieve the purpose of rapid cooling. Two water inlets are set to allow water to enter at the same time, thereby increasing the cooling water flow rate and achieving the purpose of rapid cooling.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution, a process exhaust port is provided on the top of the upper head, an exhaust pipe is connected to the process exhaust port, an exhaust pipe is provided outside the exhaust pipe, a circulating water inlet and a circulating water outlet are provided on the exhaust pipe jacket, and the process exhaust port is used to discharge the high-temperature gas generated during combustion in the combustion tower to prevent accidents such as tower explosion due to excessive pressure in the combustion tower. When the high-temperature gas is discharged through the exhaust pipe, in order to avoid damage to the exhaust pipe caused by high temperature, an exhaust pipe jacket is installed outside the exhaust pipe, and the exhaust pipe wall is cooled by circulating water.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution, the lower head is a butterfly head, the inner cavity of the lower head is isolated from the inner cavity of the phosphoric acid combustion tower, and the lower head is provided with a lower head water inlet and a lower head water outlet. When the combustion tower is burning, the heat generated may damage the lower head. The lower head is provided with circulating cooling, which can effectively reduce the problem of the lower head, prevent the lower head from being damaged, and extend the service life of the combustion tower.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution, the diameter of the upper annular tube is greater than the diameter of the circular tube, the diameters of the circular tube, the semicircular tube and the annular semicircular tube are all the same, and the diameter of the upper annular tube is the same as that of the lower annular tube. Since the circular tube and the semicircular tube are both connected to the upper annular tube and the lower annular tube, the cooling water in the lower annular tube fills the circular tube and the semicircular tube under high pressure, and the cooling water in the circular tube and the semicircular tube enters and fills the upper annular tube under high pressure and is discharged from the cooling water outlet of the upper annular tube, which requires the upper annular tube and the lower annular tube to have an inner diameter larger than that of the circular tube and the semicircular tube to ensure the cooling water flow in the circular tube and the semicircular tube and to meet the needs.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution, the circular tube, semicircular tube, semicircular ring tube A and semicircular ring tube B are all seamless steel tubes. The use of seamless steel tubes can avoid cracking at the joints, avoid cooling water leakage from the joints, and extend the service life of the entire combustion tower.
[0013] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0014] By setting an upper ring tube on the upper end of the combustion tower, setting a lower ring tube on the lower end, and setting a double-layer cooling channel outside the cylinder, the second cooling channel fills the cooling gap left by the first cooling channel at the connecting piece, so that the cooling area of the cylinder reaches 100%, and the cooling water inlet is set at the bottom and the cooling water outlet is set at the top. The cooling water enters quickly through high pressure and fills the round tube and half-circle tube, achieving the purpose of rapid cooling and heat absorption, and greatly improving heat recovery, which is economical and practical. Both layers of cooling channels are located outside the cylinder to avoid cooling water pollution caused by rupture of the cooling pipe, and maintenance is also more convenient. The two layers of cooling pipes can also increase the strength of the cylinder, making the cylinder less likely to deform and extending the service life of the equipment.
