Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of waste heat utilization and distillation systems, in particular to a phase-change self-circulating waste heat heat pump coupled distillation system. Background Art

[0002] During the operation of the fractionation towers in each unit of the oil refinery, a tower top condensation system and a tower bottom reboiler system are usually set up. The gas phase material at the top of the tower is cooled by air cooling, circulating water or other media, and the tower bottom reboiler system is often heated by steam, heating furnace, etc. For example, the rich liquid from the upstream unit of the solvent regeneration unit enters the fractionation tower after pressure increase and heat exchange; the bottom reboiler is provided with heat by 0.35-1.0MPaG steam to control the bottom temperature of the fractionation tower at about 125℃; the top gas of the fractionation tower is about 110℃, and is condensed and cooled to 40℃ by the top air cooler and the top aftercooler before entering the top reflux tank.

[0003] During the operation of the distillation tower, not only the air-cooling electricity and circulating cooling water of the cold utility are consumed, but also the low-pressure steam of the hot utility is consumed at the bottom of the tower, so there is a large space for the recovery and utilization of waste heat. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a phase-change self-circulating waste heat heat pump coupled distillation system to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A phase-change self-circulating waste heat heat pump coupled distillation system comprises a fractionation tower, a fractionation tower feed pipeline is arranged on one side of the fractionation tower, an air cooler is connected to the top of the fractionation tower through a tower top gas phase pipeline, the air cooler is connected to a water cooler through a first pipeline, the water cooler is connected to a reflux tank through a second pipeline, a non-condensable steam pipeline is connected to the tank top of the reflux tank, a reflux pump is connected to the bottom of the reflux tank through a third pipeline, the reflux pump is connected to the reflux pipeline and a tower top product pipeline, the other end of the reflux pipeline is connected to the top of the fractionation tower, and the bottom of the fractionation tower is connected to a first reboiler through a fourth pipeline and a fifth pipeline;

[0007] An evaporator is connected to the gas phase pipeline at the top of the tower, and the evaporator is connected to the compressor suction tank through the sixth pipeline. The top of the compressor suction tank is connected to the compressor through the seventh pipeline, and the bottom of the compressor suction tank is connected to the eighth pipeline. The compressor is connected to the second reboiler through the ninth pipeline, and the second reboiler is connected to the bottom of the distillation tower through the tenth pipeline and the eleventh pipeline. A throttle valve is connected to one side of the second reboiler through the twelfth pipeline, and a thirteenth pipeline is connected between the throttle valve and the evaporator.

[0008] As a further solution of the utility model: the heat source of the first reboiler is low-pressure steam, and the first reboiler is connected to a steam condensate pipeline.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0010] The phase-change self-circulating waste heat heat pump coupled distillation system transfers low-grade heat to high-grade heat for utilization through the circulation of specific working fluids in the heat pump system. The distillation tower operates. The material gas at the top of the distillation tower needs to be condensed through a condenser. The gaseous material is condensed into liquid material. In this process, the cooling system takes away a large amount of latent heat of the material. The evaporator of the heat pump closed circulation system replaces the top condenser; this part of the latent heat is exchanged with the working fluid in the heat pump closed circulation system, and the working fluid evaporates in the evaporator, absorbs heat and vaporizes; the vaporized circulating working fluid is compressed by a compressor, and after the temperature and pressure are increased, it is supplied to reboiler 2 to heat the material at the bottom of the distillation tower; the heated circulating working fluid vapor condenses and releases heat in the condenser, and condenses into a liquid phase; the liquid phase The working fluid returns to the evaporator after passing through the throttle valve, and this cycle simultaneously completes the condensation of the material at the top of the distillation tower and the heating of the material at the bottom of the tower; the coupled distillation system directly recovers the latent heat of the gas-phase material at the top of the tower and acts on the bottom of the distillation tower. The top and the bottom of the distillation tower affect each other. This system is suitable for distillation systems with a relatively small temperature difference between the top and the bottom of the distillation tower; the phase-change self-circulating waste heat heat pump coupled distillation system uses a proprietary working fluid, which effectively avoids the problem that the complex components of the gas-phase material at the top of the distillation tower may affect the bottom of the distillation tower, and improves the recovery and utilization rate of the latent heat of the gas-phase material at the top of the distillation tower. This system is not only suitable for solvent regeneration and gas fractionation devices, but also for energy recovery of BDO, styrene, PTMEG and other devices.

[0011] The system has the following features:

[0012] 1. Compression cycle: Closed system, compression closed heat pump system adopts the compression cycle principle, through the process of compressing the working medium such as refrigerant, increasing its temperature and pressure to achieve heat transfer. This cycle process includes several key steps such as evaporation, compression, condensation and expansion to achieve the extraction and transfer of heat energy.

[0013] 2. Closed system: The compression closed heat pump is a closed system. The working fluid does not come into direct contact with the external environment during the circulation process, thus avoiding the pollution and loss of the working fluid. The working fluid in the system can be recycled, reducing energy consumption and costs, and reducing environmental impact.

[0014] 3. Efficient energy conversion: The compression closed heat pump system achieves efficient energy conversion through compression cycle. By compressing the working fluid, the system can absorb heat from the low-temperature heat source and then release heat in the high-temperature heat source demand, thereby realizing the conversion and transfer of thermal energy. Compared with other traditional heating methods, the compression closed heat pump has higher energy utilization efficiency and can significantly save energy consumption.

[0015] 4. Wide temperature range: The compression closed waste heat distillation system can be applied to different temperature ranges, including low temperature, medium temperature and high temperature environments. By adjusting the working fluid type and working parameters in the compression cycle, heat energy conversion that meets different temperature requirements can be achieved.

[0016] 5. Strong controllability: The compression closed heat pump system can achieve precise control of the system operation by adjusting the operating parameters of the compressor such as pressure, flow, heat exchanger design and control system, etc. This allows the system to be adjusted according to actual needs to meet different process or heating needs.

[0017] Taking a company's solvent regeneration unit as an example, the gas phase cooling capacity at the top of the tower is 5344kw, which is not recycled and the low pressure at the bottom of the tower is consumed. 0.35MPag The steam is 13.8t / h. After adding the phase change self-circulating waste heat heat pump coupled with the distillation system, 3645kw of cooling capacity at the top of the tower can be recovered, saving 68.2% of the cooling load at the top of the tower and reducing the steam consumption of the reboiler at the bottom of the tower by 7.6t / h, which has good economic and social benefits.
