Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of reboilers, in particular to a falling film reboiler. Background Art

[0002] Falling film reboiler is a kind of equipment used for evaporation separation, which is often used for heat-sensitive materials. Due to the heat sensitivity of the materials, they cannot be heated for a long time at the operating temperature, so falling film reboiler is used. The working process of falling film reboiler is as follows: the liquid from the bottom of the tower is sent to the top of the falling film reboiler by means of a pump, distributed on the tube sheet, and pushed downward by gravity to flow on the tube wall to form a liquid film and vaporize. Since the material flows downward, it is suitable for processing solid-containing materials. Its disadvantage is that a distributor needs to be set at the entrance of the tube, which requires a large investment, high operating costs, and a high repair rate.

[0003] The existing falling film reboiler generally adopts the traditional liquid distribution plate, which mainly includes tooth type, guide tube type and single plate type. The disadvantage is that the processing accuracy of the liquid downcomer of the distribution plate is high, and the distribution plate and the cylinder must be kept absolutely level during the welding process. Otherwise, it will cause liquid deviation and uneven distribution during the production process, resulting in excessive liquid film thickness in some downcomer main pipes and some downcomer pipes, affecting the heat exchange effect of the reboiler. If the material stays too long under a certain operating temperature condition, coking will occur and block the inner wall of the heat exchange tube. Utility Model Content
