Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chemical industry, in particular to an anti-blocking distillation tower. Background Art
[0002] A distillation tower is a tower-type gas-liquid contact device for distillation. There are two main types: plate tower and packed tower. The main function of a distillation tower is to separate mixed liquids. It uses the principle that different liquids have different volatilities under different conditions, such as different temperatures, to separate liquids. The bottom of the tower is liquid, and gas is distilled from the top of the tower, thereby achieving a purification effect. It is widely used in chemical, petrochemical, metallurgical, light industry, textile, alkali, pharmaceutical, pesticide, electroplating, electronics and other fields.
[0003] Since water, carbon dioxide, acetylene and hydrocarbons are high-boiling-point substances, under normal working conditions of the condenser-evaporator, half of the heat exchanger in the condenser-evaporator is soaked in high-boiling-point media such as oxygen-rich liquid and liquid oxygen. After the condenser-evaporator has been running for a period of time, the water and carbon dioxide on the surface of the heat exchanger will gradually block the heat exchanger. In production, this is manifested as increasing resistance of the heat exchanger, reducing the free cross-section for gas circulation, and preventing air from entering. The amount of carbon dioxide brought into the tower is much greater than the theoretical content, and will gradually accumulate in the tower, causing blockage of the tower plates, pipes and valves, threatening the safe production of the air separation equipment.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a distillation tower that is anti-clogging and can remove gas from the surface of a heat exchanger. Utility Model Content
