[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of distillation towers, in particular to an ultra-low temperature helium-neon high-efficiency separation device. Background Art

[0002] A distillation tower is a tower-type vapor-liquid contact device for distillation. By utilizing the different volatilities of the components in the mixture, that is, the different vapor pressures of the components at the same temperature, the light components (low-boiling substances) in the liquid phase are transferred to the gas phase, and the heavy components (high-boiling substances) in the gas phase are transferred to the liquid phase, thereby achieving the purpose of separation. The distillation tower is also a mass transfer and heat transfer device that is widely used in petrochemical production.

[0003] Neon and helium are rare gases. The boiling point of neon is -246℃ and the boiling point of helium is -268.9℃. The environmental conditions for separating the two are relatively harsh, but the purity requirements for their use are often high. The extraction is difficult, so the economic value is high. Improving the separation purity of the two will increase the profit of the product.

[0004] However, the current distillation tower mainly uses steam and reboilers to achieve temperature increase, but when the temperature exceeds the limit, the temperature can only be slowly controlled by stopping heating, and the accuracy is low. Therefore, we propose an ultra-low temperature helium-neon high-efficiency separation device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0017] 1. The utility model sets a sandwich structure in the reboiling kettle in which the temperature is raised by electric heating and the temperature is lowered by a temperature control coil. After the raw materials enter the reboiling kettle, the heating medium in the sandwich can be heated up by electric heating to make the raw materials azeotropically distilled. During the process, the temperature sensor can detect the temperature in the kettle in real time. When the temperature exceeds the preset threshold, the temperature sensor can feedback a signal to the controller.
