Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chemical equipment and relates to a distillation tower, in particular to a plate tower with variable working conditions. Background Art
[0002] The distillation tower is a commonly used separation equipment in chemical plants. It is a tower-type gas-liquid contact device for distillation. By utilizing the different volatilities of the components in the mixture, that is, the different vapor pressures of the components at the same temperature, the light components (low-boiling substances) in the liquid phase are transferred to the gas phase, and the heavy components (high-boiling substances) in the gas phase are transferred to the liquid phase, thereby achieving the purpose of separation. The distillation tower is also a mass transfer and heat transfer device that is widely used in petrochemical production.
[0003] Distillation towers can be roughly divided into two categories: 1. Plate towers, in which the gas and liquid phases are generally in countercurrent contact multiple times, and the gas and liquid phases on each plate generally have cross flow; 2. Packed towers, in which the gas and liquid phases are in continuous countercurrent contact.
[0004] A general distillation unit consists of a distillation tower, a condenser, a reflux tank, a reboiler and other equipment. The feed enters the distillation tower from a certain plate in the distillation tower, which is called the feed plate. The feed plate divides the distillation tower into two sections, the part above the feed plate is called the distillation section, and the part below the feed plate is called the stripping section.
[0005] Whether it is a plate tower or a packed tower, it is designed according to the process requirements, and the design parameters of the tower internals are determined mainly based on the composition of the feed to be separated and the target product. However, in actual operation, the adjustment of process operating conditions can only slightly change the product properties. When the raw material or product demand changes significantly, the original equipment cannot meet the requirements, and the transformation is difficult and costly. In most cases, the distillation equipment becomes idle. Utility Model Content
[0006] The utility model overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and proposes a plate-type tower with variable working conditions to solve the problem that the separation scheme applicable to the existing plate-type tower is fixed and single.
[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solutions.

[0009] Furthermore, the product extraction port is connected to the outside of the tower body through a product extraction pipeline.
[0010] Furthermore, a control valve is provided on the product extraction pipeline.
[0011] Furthermore, connecting columns are arranged at intervals on the straight line edges connecting the semicircular movable tower plate and the intermediate rotating shaft, and the intermediate rotating shaft passes through the connecting columns.
[0012] Furthermore, the connecting columns of the two semicircular movable tower plates are arranged alternately.
[0013] Furthermore, the semicircular arc edge of the semicircular movable tower plate does not contact the inner wall of the tower body.
[0014] Furthermore, the tower body is provided with a feed inlet, which is located at the bottom of the tower body.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model compared with the prior art are:
[0016] Based on the principle of butterfly-type one-way valve, the utility model designs all the plates of the plate tower as semicircular upward split type, the two plates are relatively combined into a hinge shape, the diameter position is respectively connected to the middle rotating shaft and the external sleeve, the middle rotating shaft and the external sleeve are respectively connected to the tower handle, the state of the double handle outside the tower is consistent with the tower plate inside the tower, the semicircular tower plate operated by the tower handle is in a horizontal state, that is, an online working state, or a vertical state, that is, an offline idle state. At the same time, multiple product extraction ports are designed to produce different products when the tower plate is in an online production state.
[0017] The plate tower design of the utility model is equipped with a reversible plate, which can switch the plate state at any time. The multi-layer plate combination can adapt to different production needs. For example, when processing long-range oil raw materials, multiple plates can be put into working state according to the product plan, and the target product can be obtained at the corresponding extraction position; when processing short-range oil raw materials, the number of working plates can be reduced, the energy consumption can be reduced, and two or more products can be obtained.
