Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a falling film evaporator, and more particularly to a zoned, high-heat-exchange falling film evaporator based on forward flow, belonging to the technical field of falling film evaporators. Background Technology

[0002] Falling film evaporation involves adding the feed liquid from the upper tube box of the heating chamber of the falling film evaporator. The feed liquid is evenly distributed into each heat exchange tube and flows down the inner wall of the heat exchange tube in a uniform film. During the flow of the feed liquid, it is heated and vaporized by the heating medium. The generated vapor and liquid phase enter the separation chamber of the evaporator together. After thorough separation, the vapor enters the condenser for condensation or enters the next effect evaporator as the heating medium, thus achieving multi-effect operation. The liquid phase is discharged from the separation chamber.

[0003] Existing falling film evaporators are mostly single-chamber structures with large chamber volumes, slow heating rates, no inter-chamber heat conduction preheating mechanism, low thermal energy utilization, and high energy consumption.

[0004] The temperature control method is singular, and it cannot control temperature in different zones, so it cannot meet the needs of different process temperatures and different material processing volumes. The equipment has poor adaptability and versatility.

[0005] The response to operating condition adjustments is lagging, energy efficiency decreases when operating at low loads, and overall production flexibility is insufficient.

[0006] To overcome the following: Existing falling film evaporators are mostly single-chamber structures with large chamber volumes, slow heating rates, no inter-chamber heat conduction preheating mechanism, low thermal energy utilization, and high energy consumption;

[0007] The temperature control method is singular, and it cannot control temperature in different zones, so it cannot meet the needs of different process temperatures and different material processing volumes. The equipment has poor adaptability and versatility.

[0008] The problems of delayed response to operating conditions, decreased energy efficiency during low-load operation, and insufficient overall production flexibility necessitate the improvement and optimization of a zoned, high-heat-exchange falling film evaporator based on forward flow. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The main objective of this invention is to overcome the following: existing falling film evaporators are mostly single-chamber structures with large chamber volumes, slow heating rates, no inter-chamber heat conduction preheating mechanism, low thermal energy utilization, and high energy consumption.

[0010] The temperature control method is singular, and it cannot control temperature in different zones, so it cannot meet the needs of different process temperatures and different material processing volumes. The equipment has poor adaptability and versatility.

[0011] To address the issues of delayed response to operating conditions, decreased energy efficiency during low-load operation, and insufficient overall production flexibility, a zoned, forced-heat-exchange falling film evaporator based on forward flow is proposed.

[0012] The objective of this invention can be achieved by adopting the following technical solution:

[0013] A partitioned, high-heat-exchange falling film evaporator based on forward flow, comprising a falling film evaporator body for heat exchange during material handling;

[0014] A flow divider guide plate is installed at the upper end of the main body of the falling film evaporator, and guide ports are respectively opened on the flow divider guide plate. A dispersion plate is installed below the partition plate.

[0015] The dispersion plate has an assembly port, and a guide tube is installed on the assembly port accordingly;

[0016] The falling film evaporator body is equipped with a baffle plate installed along the axial through-section. By dividing the interior of the body into two independent chambers along the axis, two types of materials can be processed separately without mixing. Different materials are fed into the two chambers separated by the baffle plate, achieving independent feeding of two different materials. The equipment can simultaneously feed two different materials independently, distribute liquid in different areas, and perform falling film evaporation, taking into account the parallel processing of two materials, uniform distribution, and improving evaporation efficiency.

[0017] Preferably, the top of the falling film evaporator body is equipped with a feeding port one and a feeding port two, which are respectively connected to the cavities on the falling film evaporator body separated by a partition.

[0018] Preferably, a heating steam inlet is symmetrically installed in the middle section of the falling film evaporator body, a heating steam condensate outlet is installed below the heating steam inlet, and a concentrate outlet is installed at the lower end of the falling film evaporator body.

[0019] Preferably, a gas phase channel is installed on the outer side of the falling film evaporator body. This structure achieves the following functions: collecting the secondary steam generated by falling film evaporation, guiding the orderly flow of the gas phase medium, avoiding airflow turbulence, preventing droplet entrainment in conjunction with the evaporation structure, reducing the liquid content of the steam, improving gas phase purity, balancing the gas phase pressure inside the evaporator, ensuring stable evaporation conditions in all areas of the equipment, and smoothly transporting the qualified gas phase medium to the next process for condensation, recovery, and reuse, etc.

[0020] Preferably, a material collection chamber is formed between the dispersing plate and the flow guide plate. By guiding and evenly distributing the material entering the chamber, the material is uniformly distributed, further dispersed and allocated, and precisely guided to the evaporation heat exchange area to form a uniform liquid film, ensuring the function of evaporation heat exchange.

[0021] Preferably, the feeding port one, feeding port two, dispersion plate and conduit are connected.

[0022] Preferably, one end of the gas phase channel is connected to the main body of the falling film evaporator, and the gas phase channel consists of two sets, upper and lower.

[0023] Preferably, the falling film evaporator body is separated by conduits for material feeding, the falling film evaporator body is separately introduced with two sets of heating steam inlets, and the falling film evaporator body discharges material through the concentrate outlet.

[0024] Preferably, the conduit is inserted into the assembly port and communicates with the material collection chamber and the guide port.

[0025] Preferably, the interior of the falling film evaporator body is divided into two independent chambers by a partition.

[0026] Beneficial technical effects of the present invention:

[0027] The present invention provides a partitioned strong heat exchange falling film evaporator based on forward flow. First, the first feeding port and the second feeding port need to be connected to the external feeding device, the heating steam inlet is connected to the steam supply equipment, the gas phase channel is connected to the separator, the heating steam condensate outlet is connected to the condensate recovery component, and the concentrate outlet is connected to the finished product receiving device to complete the assembly of the whole machine piping.

[0028] The material is fed into the main body of the falling film evaporator through the first or second feeding port, and is guided by the diversion guide plate and guide port in sequence. Then it is conveyed downward layer by layer through the dispersion plate, assembly port and conduit.

[0029] During the material's descent, high-temperature steam is introduced through the heating steam inlet to heat and evaporate the material. A baffle is installed in the middle of the main body of the falling film evaporator, dividing the internal cavity into two independent chambers to achieve dual-stage zoned temperature control.

[0030] When heating steam is introduced into one side chamber, the heat can be conducted to the other side chamber through the partition to preheat the inside of the chamber. Heating steam can also be introduced into both side chambers at the same time. The separated independent operating chambers effectively reduce the volume of a single chamber and can significantly improve the heating rate of both side chambers.

[0031] The dual-chamber structure formed by the partition can independently match the usage requirements of different process temperatures and different material processing volumes, making the equipment more adaptable. Attached Figure Description
