Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of tower trays, and in particular relates to a large-flux fixed-valve tower tray. Background Art
[0002] The development and production of the chemical industry are inseparable from the continuous development and progress of towers and their internal components. Tower internals play a vital role, especially in the separation efficiency of the tower and the control of tower pressure drop. Therefore, the form and structure of tower internals are also the focus of research.
[0003] At present, the main forms of towers are packed towers and plate towers. Plate towers mainly include sieve plate plates, bubble cap plates, valve plates, three-dimensional mass transfer plates, corrugated plates and other different forms of plates. Each form of plate has its applicable fields and also has its own advantages and disadvantages:
[0004] (1) The sieve plate tower has a simple structure, but has limited operational flexibility and low mass transfer efficiency for processes with a large liquid-gas ratio. (2) The bubble cap tower has great operational flexibility, but has a complex structure, high cost, low production capacity and plate efficiency. Since the tooth gap opening is fixed, it is not adaptable to changes in steam load. When the steam velocity is low, the gas-liquid contact is poor. When the gas velocity is high, the steam can easily blow away the liquid. (3) The floating valve tower has greater operational flexibility and can better adapt to changes in feed volume. It has better gas-liquid agitation, less mist entrainment, longer contact time, and better mass transfer effect. However, the steam is ejected along the periphery of the rising steam pores, and there is still reverse mixing of the liquid. , thus reducing the mass transfer efficiency; (4) When the corrugated tray is in operation, the liquid is constantly stirred by steam, destroying the condensation of suspended matter, so that the tray is always kept clean, so it has a self-cleaning effect, but it can still cause clogging of the holes in places where colloids are easily generated, and it is also easy to cause mist entrainment; Among them, the floating valve tray has greater operating flexibility, better gas-liquid stirring, less mist entrainment, longer contact time, and better mass transfer effect. It is most widely used in the petrochemical field. Common floating valves include circular valves, rectangular valves, trapezoidal valves, diamond valves, etc. In order to overcome the defects of the floating valve in the prior art, a new floating valve structure has emerged as follows:
[0005] Prior art 1: In a new type of tower plate with large flux and uniform gas-liquid distribution with patent application number 2016108669304, a technical solution is disclosed, including a tower plate, a valve hole and a float valve; the edge of the valve plate of the float valve is arranged alternately by convex arcs and concave arcs, and there are three convex parts formed by the convex arcs and three concave parts formed by the concave arcs, and the curvature radius of the three convex parts is less than or equal to the curvature radius of the three concave parts; the valve leg of the float valve is vertically fixed to the lower end surface of the convex part, and there are three valve legs and they are distributed at equal intervals; the edge of the valve plate is also provided with a spacing strip; the new type of large flux and uniform gas-liquid distribution floating valve tower plate provided by the invention has large operating flexibility, high mass transfer efficiency, uniform airflow dispersion, and sufficient gas-liquid contact; however, in this application, due to the limitation of the structure of the float valve itself, the tower plate valve arrangement method is relatively single, the space utilization rate is low, and the operating flexibility is limited, which can no longer meet the requirements of increasing production, improving quality, and reducing consumption.
[0006] Therefore, a new fixed valve tower tray is needed to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0013] As a preferred solution, the area of the valve hole is larger than the projection area of the fixed valve on the tower plate.
[0014] As a preferred solution, the area of the valve hole is equal to 1.2-1.9 times the projection area of the fixed valve on the tower plate.
[0015] As a preferred solution, the fixed valve and the tower plate are integrally formed.

[0022] 4. The setting of serrations plays a role in secondary mass transfer and guidance, improving the gas-liquid contact on the upper surface of the fixed valve plate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0056] In order to better illustrate the advantages of this application, the following experimental data are provided:
[0057] 1. The fixed valve tray in Example 1 of the present invention was experimentally compared with the New-Vst vertical sieve plate tray in the prior art, and the plate pressure drop, mist entrainment, liquid leakage and air humidification efficiency were compared respectively; the experimental results show that: the pressure drop of the fixed valve tray in Example 1 of the present application decreased by an average of 24%; the plate efficiency increased by 25%; the mist entrainment and liquid leakage phenomena were significantly reduced, the upper limit of operation was increased by 25%, and the lower limit was reduced by 20%; the comprehensive operating flexibility of the new large-flux fixed valve tray is 30%-135%.
[0058] 2. In addition, the pressure difference of a new type of tower tray with large flux and uniform gas-liquid distribution in patent application number 2016108669304 in prior art 1 is compared with the fixed valve tower tray in Example 1. The comparison results are as follows: Fig.11 — Fig.14 ; Fig.11 — Fig.14 The F1 float valve in the column refers to a new type of tower tray with large flux and uniform gas-liquid distribution with application number 2016108669304, and the plum blossom solid valve refers to the solid valve tower tray in the first embodiment; more specifically, Fig.11 In the same tower, the tray of Example 1 is on the top, and the tray of prior art 1 is on the bottom, and the liquid volume is 4m 3 Schematic diagram of the pressure difference between the two trays at / h; Fig.12 In the same tower, the tray of the prior art 1 is on the top, and the tray of the embodiment 1 is on the bottom, and the liquid volume is 4m 3 Schematic diagram of the pressure difference between the two trays at / h; Fig.13 In the same tower, the tray of Example 1 is on the top, and the tray of prior art 1 is on the bottom, and the liquid volume is 8m 3 Schematic diagram of the pressure difference between the two trays at / h; Fig.14 In the same tower, the tray of the prior art 1 is on the top, and the tray of the embodiment 1 is on the bottom, and the liquid volume is 8m 3 Schematic diagram of the pressure difference between the two trays at / h;

[0060] The gas of the present application moves from the valve to the end of the fixed valve plate 5, which has a downward secondary film-pulling and breaking mass transfer effect, thereby increasing the gas-liquid contact area; the hydraulic side length is 30-40% higher than that of the traditional floating valve tower plate, the gas-liquid contact is sufficient, and the mass transfer is more uniform; the kinetic energy factor of the gas coming out from the gap between the fixed valve plate 5 and the valve hole 2 and the gap between the fixed valve leg 6 and the valve hole 2 is reduced, so the pressure drop is 15-20% lower than that of the traditional floating valve tower plate; after the gas leaves the tower plate, the vertical momentum is converted into lateral momentum, so the mist entrainment is small; the operating elasticity is between 20% and 130%, the operating elasticity of the traditional floating valve tower plate is 50% to 110%, and the operating elasticity of the present application is greater.
[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
