Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of falling film evaporators, in particular to a falling film evaporator with good film spreading effect. Background Art

[0002] Falling film evaporator is to add the feed liquid from the upper tube box of the falling film evaporator heating chamber, and evenly distribute it to each heat exchange tube through the liquid distribution and film forming device. Under the action of gravity, vacuum induction and airflow, it flows from top to bottom in a uniform film. During the flow, it is heated and vaporized by the shell side heating medium, evaporated and concentrated, and the generated steam and liquid phase enter the separation chamber of the evaporator together. After the vapor and liquid are fully separated, the steam enters the condenser for condensation (single-effect operation) or enters the next-effect evaporator as a heating medium, and the concentrated liquid is obtained at the bottom of the equipment.

[0003] When the existing falling film evaporator is installed and used, after the feed liquid enters the falling film evaporator, it is easy to directly pass through the heat exchange tube and flow out quickly in a columnar shape. In this way, it is impossible to form a film-like flow down the inner wall of the heat exchange tube, which makes the feed liquid unevenly heated and the evaporation and concentration effect is poor. In addition, in the falling film evaporator, the feed liquid and the generated steam will be separated at the bottom of the falling film evaporator. However, as the falling film evaporator continues to operate, the feed liquid and steam will continuously flow into the bottom of the falling film evaporator. If it exceeds the limit, it is easy to block the steam outlet, and it is even more likely to block the heat exchange tube outlet, which will cause a malfunction, bringing certain adverse effects to people's use process. In order to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology, we propose a falling film evaporator with good film-laying effect. Utility Model Content

[0021] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0022] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1-4As shown, a falling film evaporator with good film distribution effect includes an evaporator body 1. A heating medium is added to the interior of a preheating tube 17 through a shell side heating medium inlet 5. Heat overflows from the preheating tube 17 and gradually fills the interior of a cavity formed between an upper partition 11 and a lower partition 13. The heat will not spread out due to the obstruction of the upper partition 11 and the lower partition 13, but will only contact and exchange heat with the inner wall of a heat exchange tube 12. The feed liquid enters the interior of the evaporator body 1 from the feed liquid inlet 21. Due to the obstruction of an arc-shaped limiting block 23, the feed liquid cannot quickly enter the interior of the heat exchange tube 12. Under different flow rates, It will gradually fill the entire upper end of the upper partition 11, thus greatly reducing the unevenness of the liquid entering each heat exchange tube 12, and due to the structure of the arc-shaped limiting block 23, the liquid will flow down from the inner wall of the heat exchange tube in a film-like manner along the bottom edge of the arc-shaped limiting block 23, which is convenient for subsequent evaporation and concentration. The top cover 20 can be disassembled and separated from the evaporator body 1 by removing the multiple sets of fixing bolts 27 arranged on the inside, so that the arc-shaped limiting block 23 can be cleaned and maintained to prevent loss and affect the use effect, and the inside of the heat exchange tube 12 can also be cleaned.

[0023] Embodiment 2, as Figure 1-4 As shown, a falling film evaporator with good film spreading effect, the film-like liquid flowing down the inner wall of the heat exchange tube 12 is heated and vaporized, and the generated steam enters the separation chamber 14 together with the excess liquid, and is separated inside the separation chamber 14, and the condensed water generated after the heat exchange will fall along the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 12, and finally be gradually discharged from the condensed water outlet 19, and the steam is discharged through the steam outlet 25. After a long period of accumulation, when the liquid level gradually rises to a certain limit, the water level monitoring meter 26 will transmit a signal to the controller 7, and the signal will be displayed on the display panel 8 arranged on the inner side of the controller 7 to remind the staff to pay attention, so as to open the electromagnetic valve 16 in time through the control button 9 to adjust the liquid level inside the separation chamber 14, so that the liquid will not block the steam outlet 25 or the heat exchange tube 12.

[0024] How it works

[0025] It should be noted that the utility model is a falling film evaporator with good film distribution effect. When in use, heating medium is added to the interior of the preheating tube 17 through the shell side heating medium inlet 5. The heat overflows with the preheating tube 17 and gradually fills the cavity formed between the upper partition 11 and the lower partition 13. The heat will not dissipate due to the obstruction of the upper partition 11 and the lower partition 13, and will only contact and exchange heat with the inner wall of the heat exchange tube 12. The feed liquid enters the interior of the evaporator body 1 from the feed liquid inlet 21. Due to the obstruction of the arc-shaped limiting block 23, it cannot quickly enter the interior of the heat exchange tube 12. Under different flow rates, it will gradually fill the entire upper end of the upper partition 11. This greatly reduces the unevenness of the feed liquid entering each heat exchange tube 12. In addition, due to the structure of the arc-shaped limiting block 23, the feed liquid flows down from the inner wall of the heat exchange tube in a film-like shape along the bottom edge of the arc-shaped limiting block 23, which is convenient for subsequent evaporation and concentration. The top cover 20 can be disconnected from the evaporator by removing the multiple sets of fixing bolts 27 arranged on the inner side. The heat exchanger body 1 is disassembled and separated, so that the arc-shaped limiting block 23 can be cleaned and maintained to prevent loss and affect the use effect. At the same time, the inside of the heat exchange tube 12 can also be cleaned. The film-like liquid flowing down the inner wall of the heat exchange tube 12 is heated and vaporized, and the generated steam enters the separation chamber 14 together with the excess liquid and is separated inside the separation chamber 14. The condensed water generated after heat exchange will fall along the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 12 and finally be gradually discharged from the condensed water outlet 19. The steam is discharged through the steam outlet 25. After a long period of accumulation, when the liquid level gradually rises to a certain limit, the water level monitoring meter 26 will transmit a signal to the controller 7 and display it on the display panel 8 arranged on the inner side of the controller 7 to remind the staff to pay attention, so as to open the electromagnetic valve 16 in time through the control button 9 to adjust the liquid level inside the separation chamber 14. In this way, the liquid will not block the steam outlet 25 or the heat exchange tube 12.

[0026] The above shows and describes the basic principle and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
