[0031] Some embodiments of the present application disclose a prepreg tower, comprising a tower body 1 , wherein a liquid supply assembly 2 is arranged inside the tower body 1 for supplying black liquor to a steaming zone of the tower body 1 .

[0032] In some embodiments of the present application, the liquid supply assembly 2 includes a central tube 21 and a branch tube 22, both of which are used to supply black liquor into the tower body 1. Specifically, the central tube 21 is located in the tower body 1 and at the center of the tower body 1, the length extension direction of the central tube 21 is parallel to the axial direction of the tower body 1 (the central tube 21 is coaxial with the tower body 1, and the central tube 21 is arranged at the position where the axis of the tower body 1 is located), and the outlet of the central tube 21 forms a first nozzle; at least two branch tubes 22 are provided in the circumferential direction of the central tube 21, the inlet of the branch tube 22 is connected to the central tube 21, and the outlet of the branch tube 22 is located between the inner wall of the tower body 1 and the central tube 21, so as to form a second nozzle between the inner wall of the tower body 1 and the central tube 21. Optionally, the outlet of the branch tube 22 can be flush with the outlet of the central tube 21, can be lower than the outlet of the central tube 21, or can be higher than the outlet of the central tube 21, and the specific arrangement is designed according to the specific structure of the prepreg tower.

[0033] The central pipe 21 and the branch pipe 22 are arranged in parallel. When black liquor is supplied into the central pipe 21 , black liquor is also supplied into the branch pipe 22 .

[0034] The prepreg tower disclosed in the present application has a liquid supply component 2 composed of a central tube 21 and a branch tube 22. The central tube 21 sprays black liquor into the steaming zone of the prepreg tower. The black liquor sprayed through the central tube 21 forms flash steam near the central tube 21 (or near the axis of the tower body 1), and steams the wood chips of the wood chip column 5 in the prepreg tower near the central tube 21. The branch tube 22 sprays black liquor into the steaming zone of the prepreg tower. The black liquor sprayed through the branch tube 22 forms flash steam between the central tube 21 and the inner wall of the tower body 1 (or between the first nozzle and the inner wall of the tower body 1), and steams the wood chips around the wood chip column 5. Figure 2 As shown, the prepreg tower includes a buffer zone, a steaming zone and an impregnation zone from top to bottom. The wood chips enter the prepreg tower from the feed port of the prepreg tower and then fall down, passing through the buffer zone, the steaming zone and the impregnation zone in sequence. The falling wood chips are accumulated to form a wood chip column 5 that matches the inner cavity shape of the prepreg tower. The prepreg tower disclosed in this scheme is combined with a central tube 21 and a branch tube 22 to achieve simultaneous steaming of the center and peripheral wood chips of the wood chip column 5, and the branch tube 22 separately provides flash steam to the periphery of the wood chip column 5 to ensure that the center and periphery of the wood chip column 5 can be effectively steamed, improve the uniformity of steaming of the wood chips of the wood chip column 5, and thus reduce the fluctuation of pulp quality;

[0035] At the same time, the black liquor is distributed through the branch pipe 22, so that the concentration of the black liquor in the wood chip column 5 is reduced, and the energy concentration at the central pipe 21 is greatly reduced, which can greatly reduce the probability of odor overflowing the wood chip column 5 and reduce the environmental risks in production.

[0036] The prepreg tower disclosed in this scheme is highly practical and has a wide range of applications.

[0037] In some embodiments, the branch pipe 22 is located in the tower body 1, the inlet of the branch pipe 22 is connected to the central pipe 21, and the branch pipe 22 is arranged obliquely relative to the central pipe 21. In this embodiment, the connection position between the branch pipe 22 and the central pipe 21 can be selected according to actual needs. When the connection position between the branch pipe 22 and the central pipe 21 is close to the outlet of the central pipe 21, the angle between the branch pipe 22 and the central pipe 21 can be 80°-100°, and multiple branch pipes 22 are radially arranged in the circumferential direction of the central pipe 21.

[0038] In some embodiments, the branch pipe 22 is connected to the central pipe 21 through the liquid distributing pipe 3 , the liquid distributing pipe 3 is connected to the central pipe 21 , and the branch pipe 22 is arranged in the length direction of the liquid distributing pipe 3 .

[0039] At least two branch pipes 22 can be connected to the central pipe 21 through one liquid distributor 3. The connection position between the liquid distributor 3 and the central pipe 21 is one, and the connection position between the liquid distributor 3 and the branch pipes 22 is equal to the number of the branch pipes 22, thereby reducing the difficulty of connecting multiple (two or more) branch pipes 22 to the central pipe 21.

[0040] The number of the liquid dispensing tube 3 can be one, and the liquid dispensing tube 3 is an annular tube, which is sleeved outside the central tube 21, and multiple (two or more) branch tubes 22 are arranged along the circumference of the annular tube. Preferably, the multiple (two or more) branch tubes 22 are evenly distributed on the circumference of the annular tube.

[0041] The liquid distributing tube 3 is arc-shaped, and the central tube 21 has at least two liquid distributing tubes 3 in the circumferential direction, and each liquid distributing tube 3 is provided with at least two branch tubes 22, so as to divide the plurality of branch tubes 22 into branch tube groups equal in number to the liquid distributing tubes 3. The arc-shaped liquid distributing tube 3 can improve the flexibility of arranging the liquid distributing tube 3 in the tower body 1, and the number of liquid distributing tubes 3 used can be selected according to needs, thereby flexibly adjusting the number of branch tubes 22.

[0042] In the embodiment where the liquid distributing pipe 3 is annular or arc-shaped, the branch pipes 22 can be distributed along the circumference of the central pipe 21 , and the distances between the central pipe 21 and the branch pipes 22 along the radial direction of the tower body 1 are equal.

[0043] The dispensing tube 3 may also be linear, and multiple dispensing tubes 3 may be interconnected to form a radial shape as a whole. At least two branch tubes 22 may be arranged along the length direction of the dispensing tube 3, so that multiple layers of branch tubes 22 may be arranged in the radial direction of the central tube 21; or, multiple dispensing tubes may be arranged to form a frame-type structure, and at least two branch tubes 22 may be arranged circumferentially of the frame-type structure.

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, a layer of liquid distribution pipes 3 is arranged along the radial direction of the central pipe 21, a circle of branch pipes 22 is formed in the tower body 1, and a circle of second nozzles is formed in the steaming area to optimize the uniformity of the flash steam distribution in the tower body 1.

[0045] In some embodiments, at least two layers of liquid distribution pipes 3 are arranged along the radial direction of the central pipe 21 to form at least two circles of branch pipes 22 in the tower body 1 to form more second nozzles in the steaming area and optimize the uniformity of the flash steam distribution in the tower body 1.

[0046] The distances between two adjacent layers of branch pipes 22 may be equal or unequal, and the distances between branch pipes 22 in different layers of branch pipes 22 may be equal or unequal.

[0047] The liquid distributing pipes 3 are located outside the tower body 1 , and at least two of the liquid distributing pipes 3 are connected to the portion of the central pipe 21 located outside the tower body 1 through the connecting pipe 4 . The branch pipe 22 passes through the top of the tower body 1 and is connected to the liquid distributing pipes 3 .

[0048] In this embodiment, the branch pipe 22 is suspended in the wood chip column 5 and will be affected by the downward movement of the wood chip column 5, causing the branch pipe 22 to swing. In order to solve the above problem, the branch pipe 22 is elastically connected to the tower top to absorb the swing stress of the branch pipe 22 and ensure safe operation.

[0049] The elastic connection structure adopted between the branch pipe 22 and the tower top is the same as the elastic connection structure adopted between the central pipe 21 and the tower top in the related art. This embodiment can ensure the connection strength between each branch pipe 22 and the tower top, and has high reliability.

[0050] The liquid dispensing pipe 3 may also be located inside the tower body 1, and the connecting pipe passes through the top of the tower body 1 and is connected with the portion of the central pipe 21 located outside the tower body 1. In this embodiment, the number of mounting holes opened on the top of the tower can be reduced.

[0051] The distributing pipe 3 is provided with a flow meter and a control valve to realize flow control of the branch pipe 22 connected to the distributing pipe, and to realize individual control of the flow of each distributing pipe 3 .

[0052] like Figure 2As shown, the central tube 21 includes a horizontal tube and a vertical tube, wherein the vertical tube is coaxial with the tower body 1, the horizontal tube passes through the side wall of the tower body 1, one end of the horizontal tube located inside the tower body 1 is connected to the vertical tube, and one end of the horizontal tube located outside the tower body 1 is connected to the connecting tube 4, and the horizontal tube is used to connect to the black liquor supply pipeline.

[0053] The black liquor is supplied to the horizontal pipe and the connecting pipe 4 respectively through the black liquor supply pipeline, the black liquor in the horizontal pipe enters the vertical pipe, and the black liquor in the connecting pipe 4 is supplied to the diversion pipe respectively.

[0054] The design of the liquid distribution pipe 3 can also improve the flow uniformity of the black liquor entering different branch pipes 22 to a certain extent, so that the black liquor can be evenly supplied to different positions in the circumferential direction of the steaming zone through the branch pipes 22, thereby improving the uniformity of the cross-sectional distribution of the flash steam in the wood chip column 5.

[0055] In some embodiments, the distance between the second nozzle and the inner wall of the tower body 1 does not exceed half of the distance between the inner wall of the tower body 1 and the first nozzle, that is, the second nozzle is arranged as close to the inner wall of the tower body 1 as possible so that the flash steam formed by the black liquor sprayed from the second nozzle can be dispersed as much as possible to the circumference of the wood chip column 5.

[0056] The distance between the second nozzle and the inner wall of the tower body 1 is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be other distances, which are not specifically limited here.

[0057] In some embodiments, the diameter of the central pipe 21 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the branch pipe 22 , so that the amount of black liquor discharged from the central pipe 21 is greater than or equal to the amount of black liquor discharged from a single branch pipe 22 .

[0058] Optionally, the total amount of black liquor discharged from the plurality of branch pipes 22 is smaller than the amount of black liquor discharged from the central pipe 21 .

[0059] In some embodiments, a diverter plate is provided at the outlet of the branch pipe 22 to further enhance the dispersion effect of the black liquor in the tower body and improve the uniformity of the distribution of the flash steam in the tower body 1 .

[0060] The center tube 21 is provided with a spray hole near the outlet of the center tube 21 . The spray hole is opened on the side wall of the center tube 21 . The black liquor can be sprayed out not only from the outlet nozzle of the center tube 21 , but also from the side wall of the center tube 21 .

[0061] In some embodiments, the central tube 21 and the branch tubes 22 are stainless steel tubes, and optionally, austenitic stainless steel tubes.

[0062] like Figure 2As shown, a prepreg tower is disclosed, the radius of the prepreg tower is 4100 mm, the number of branch pipes 22 is six, and the six branch pipes 22 are evenly distributed on a circumference with a radius of 3300 mm, so that the flash steam generated by the black liquor can be evenly distributed in the cross section of the wood chip column 5;

[0063] In this embodiment, every three branch pipes 22 are divided into a group, and each group is respectively installed with a flow meter and a control valve. In actual operation, the flow of each group of branch pipes 22 can be flexibly adjusted. The distribution flow rate of each branch pipe 22 is 1.7m / s, the flow of each branch pipe 22 is 30L / s, the diameter of the branch pipe 22 is 150mm, and 304L austenitic stainless steel is selected.

[0064] In the prepreg tower disclosed in this embodiment, the wood chip steaming temperature (black liquor and wood chip mixing temperature) is increased from 102°C to 105°C, saving about 30kg / adt of medium-pressure steam in the cooking tower. At the same time, due to the improvement of the uniformity of wood chip steaming, the pulp kappa fluctuation of the spray line is reduced from 1.1σ to 0.9σ, thereby improving the uniformity of cooking.
