Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of distillation towers, in particular to an ammonia distillation tower device. Background Art
[0002] If the huge reserves of low-grade heat sources can be effectively utilized, it will be of great significance to solving the energy crisis. The ammonia absorption refrigeration cycle is a typical heat-driven refrigeration cycle, which can achieve the heating and quality improvement of low-grade heat sources. However, the boiling points of ammonia and water are close, and the steam produced by directly heating the ammonia solution has a high water content, and the concentration of the gas phase ammonia component needs to be further increased through distillation. The distillation tower is the key heat and mass exchange equipment in the ammonia absorption refrigeration system, and the improvement of its heat and mass transfer effect is of significant significance to the system performance and equipment size optimization.
[0003] The distillation tower is mainly composed of four parts: the fractional condenser, the distillation section, the stripping section and the generating section. The concentrated solution enters the middle of the distillation tower, and flows from top to bottom through the stripping section under the action of gravity to the bottom of the distillation tower and the heating tube for heat exchange to produce steam and dilute solution. The dilute solution flows out from the bottom of the distillation tower, and the generated steam continues to rise to the fractional condenser at the top of the distillation tower. After the steam in the fractional condenser is condensed by cooling water, the gas phase is ammonia vapor with extremely high purity, and the liquid phase is a saturated ammonia solution with a high ammonia component content. The ammonia vapor flows out from the top of the distillation tower, and the remaining liquid ammonia in the fractional condenser flows downward, and is ultrasonically atomized into micron-level droplets, which contact and exchange heat and mass with the ascending ammonia vapor to achieve the purpose of distillation.
[0004] In the prior art, during the use of a conventional ammonia distillation tower, a high-pressure distillation tower for ammonia absorption refrigeration is used. The reflux in the tower uses the concentrated ammonia water entering the distillation tower to exchange heat with the high-purity ammonia gas at the top of the tower using the partial condenser at the top of the tower. Part of the ammonia gas is condensed as reflux in the tower. The advantage of this process is that the thermal efficiency is high and it is suitable for use in winter. In summer, due to the high system circulating water temperature and high air temperature, the temperature of the concentrated ammonia water entering the tower is high, resulting in a small amount of reflux at the top of the tower, and it cannot be adjusted. The top of the tower is overheated, the purity of the liquid ammonia product at the top of the tower is low, and the refrigeration effect is poor. At the same time, in the use project, the condensed ammonia water has a large amount of low-temperature gas, and the flow rate of these low-temperature gases causes a waste of resources.

[0022] In this embodiment, the liquid distribution pipe 701 receives the ammonia water for heat exchange and distributes the ammonia water evenly in the tower body 1 through the nozzle 702 .
[0023] Specifically, the second liquid distributing mechanism 13 has the same structure as the first liquid distributing mechanism 7 .
[0024] In this embodiment, the second liquid distribution mechanism 13 makes the extracted ammonia water evenly distributed in the tower body 1 .
[0025] Specifically, the first extraction mechanism 12 includes a pumping component 121, an electric flow control valve 122, a first check valve 123, an ammonia concentration sensor 124 and a controller 125. The pumping component 121 connects the liquid storage tank 11 with the second liquid distribution mechanism 13.
