Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chemical equipment and relates to a liquid feeding device, more specifically to a liquid feeding device for a horizontal flash tank. Background Art

[0002] Flash tank is a commonly used gas-liquid separation equipment in chemical production. Its working principle is that high-pressure liquid or gas-liquid mixture mixed with gas suddenly enters the low-pressure flash tank. Due to the sudden drop in pressure, the boiling point of the liquid also decreases, causing the liquid to flash and separate into low-pressure liquid and gas. Usually, the liquid is discharged from the bottom of the tank to form a product, and the gas is separated from the flash tank, thereby achieving gas-liquid separation and liquefaction, cooling and purification of the mixture. For horizontal flash tanks, the existing structure is mostly that the liquid directly enters the tank from the top. This structure will firstly lead to insufficient flash evaporation of the liquid during the gas-liquid separation process, resulting in gas-liquid entrainment; secondly, the high-pressure and large-flow liquid directly flushes the tank body, increasing the corrosiveness of the liquid to the tank body, and also causing vibration of the flash tank and other problems, reducing the service life of the flash tank body. Based on the above reasons, it is necessary to improve the structure of the liquid feed pipe. Summary of the invention

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a liquid feeding device for a horizontal flash tank, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background technology mentioned above, such as insufficient gas-liquid flash evaporation and reduced service life of the flash tank body caused by direct feeding of liquid from the top of the horizontal flash tank.
