Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chemical equipment, and in particular relates to a hydrogen treatment cooling and water removal device. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of the chlor-alkali industry, the wet hydrogen at 80-85℃ from the electrolysis section enters the lower part of the hydrogen washing tower and is countercurrently contacted with the cooling water sprayed from the upper part of the tower for washing and cooling to ≤45℃. The hydrogen coming out of the top of the tower enters the hydrogen compressor for pressurization, enters the cooler for cooling to 10-25℃, and is dehydrated by the hydrogen water mist separator before being transported to the synthetic hydrochloric acid process. In the hydrogen cooler, it is indirectly in contact with the cooling medium. The cooled hydrogen enters the water mist collector to capture the water mist and is then sent to the synthetic hydrochloric acid process. The dehydration process is realized in the hydrogen cooler and the hydrogen water mist collector. Since the existing 7℃ water temperature is unstable, it can reach up to 18℃ in summer, resulting in the temperature of the cooled hydrogen exceeding 25℃. According to the dew point (water content) of hydrogen (0℃=4.265g / m 3 , 10℃=9.395g / m 3 , 20℃=17.22g / m 3 ); It can be seen that in summer when the water temperature is 7℃, the hydrogen temperature is 25℃, and the water content of hydrogen will be as high as 27g / m 3 The water content of hydrogen at 10°C is 9.395 g / m 3 The excessive water content in hydrogen leads to serious scaling of the lamp holder of the hydrochloric acid synthesis furnace, which requires frequent cleaning and the hydrogen mist collector is not effective.

[0014] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0015] 1.

The hydrogen a contacts the washing water in reverse to reduce the temperature and remove the salt and alkali entrained in the hydrogen. The washed water is collected in the lower part of the hydrogen scrubber 1. The washing water is discharged by the liquid discharge pipe 11 and then cooled to ≤40°C and continued to be washed with a small amount of pure water in the hydrogen scrubber 1. The hydrogen coming out of the top of the hydrogen scrubber 1 enters the hydrogen compressor 2 for compression and first enters the hydrogen cooler A3. The hydrogen cooler A is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The hydrogen introduced into the shell side is heat exchanged with the 7° water introduced into the tube side.

After heat exchange with the 0° water introduced into the pipe, the hydrogen after heat exchange passes through the hydrogen mist collector B6 to remove the water entrained in the hydrogen. The operator opens the drain valve A22 and the drain valve B23 according to the liquid level gauges A17 and B18 of the hydrogen mist collector A4 and the hydrogen mist collector B6, and the drain timer A20 and the drain timer B21 start timing. After the set time, the drain valve A22 and the drain valve B23 are automatically closed, and the cooling water enters the cooling water tank 7 through the drain pipe 26. Nitrogen is introduced into the upper part of the cooling water tank 7 through the nitrogen pipe 25 to prevent accumulation, the vent pipe 24 discharges nitrogen, and the breathing valve 27 prevents air from entering the cooling water tank 7.
