[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of falling film evaporators, and in particular relates to a falling film distributor for a high-density falling film evaporator. Background Art

[0002] SiC falling film evaporator has the advantages of good corrosion resistance, no hydraulic influence, no overheating effect, and high heat transfer efficiency, and is widely used in the chemical industry. However, conventional falling film evaporators are mostly peripheral feed, and when the heat exchange tube distribution density is high, it will cause the liquid level above the tube sheet to be inconsistent, affecting the distribution effect of the falling film component. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems in the related art at least to a certain extent.

[0004] To this end, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a falling film distributor for a high-density falling film evaporator, comprising a head and a tube plate arranged below the head, a plurality of falling film assemblies are penetrated on the tube plate, the upper part of the falling film assembly is arranged in the head, the lower part of the falling film assembly is connected with a heat exchange tube, a distribution plate is arranged in the head, the distribution plate is arranged above the falling film assembly, a liquid inlet pipe is penetrated on the head, a liquid outlet of the liquid inlet pipe is arranged above the middle of the distribution plate, the distribution plate comprises a bottom plate, a retaining ring is connected at the edge of the bottom plate, a plurality of liquid drop holes are arranged on the bottom plate, and the projection of the liquid drop holes in the vertical direction has no overlapping part with the projection of the falling film assembly in the vertical direction.

[0005] The bottom plate is circular.

[0006] A gap is arranged between the outer wall of the retaining ring and the inner wall of the sealing head.

[0007] A plurality of legs are connected to the bottom of the base plate, and the legs are connected to the tube plate.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: the utility model adds a distribution plate to evenly distribute the feed liquid to the surroundings of each falling film assembly, thereby avoiding the difference in liquid level height above the tube sheet and achieving uniform distribution of the falling film. In the utility model, the liquid enters the surroundings of the falling film assembly through the liquid drop holes of the distributor, which can solve the problem that when the density of the heat exchange tube is high, the flow channel is narrow, and the feeding around causes large differences in the liquid level above the tube sheet. There is a gap around the distributor and the head, which can be used as a feed gas channel to ensure the stability of the operation. The distributor is fixed to the tube sheet, which can ensure the stability of the position of the distributor and the tube sheet, ensure the consistency of the position of the liquid drop holes and the falling film assembly, and thus ensure the stability of the liquid level height above the tube sheet. The liquid enters the distributor through the liquid inlet pipe, and a semi-open pipe or a porous pipe is set at the outlet of the liquid inlet pipe, which can reduce the impact on the liquid level of the distributor and improve the uniformity of the flow of each liquid drop port, thereby ensuring the consistency of the liquid level around each falling film assembly and improving the falling film distribution effect.
