Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chemical equipment, in particular to an energy-saving cyclone plate tower. Background Art
[0002] The cyclone plate tower is a high-efficiency gas-liquid mass transfer tower. The blades of the tower plate are non-radially arranged and inclined. When the airflow passes through the blades, it generates rotation and centrifugal motion. The absorption liquid is evenly distributed to each blade through the middle blind plate to form a thin liquid layer, which forms a rotation and centrifugal effect with the rotating upward airflow, and is sprayed into fine droplets. After being thrown to the tower wall, the droplets are collected into the collecting tank by gravity and flow to the blind plate area of the next tower plate through the downcomer. The airflow to be treated with a certain pressure and speed enters from the bottom of the tower and exits from the top. The absorption liquid enters from the top of the tower and exits from the bottom. The airflow and the absorption liquid move relative to each other in the tower, and form a liquid film with a large surface area at the structural part of the cyclone plate, thereby greatly improving the absorption effect. The absorption liquid of each layer falls into the collection tank at the edge through the cyclone centrifugal action, and then enters the next tower plate through the guide pipe to carry out the absorption effect of the next layer, thereby improving the mass transfer efficiency.
[0003] However, existing cyclone trays, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the blind plate in the middle is a circular flat plate. When the gas enters the tower from the bottom and flows upward through each layer of the tower plate, the blind plate in the middle of the swirl plate will block the airflow, causing the airflow to lose some kinetic energy. Similarly, after the high-speed airflow passing through the swirl plate blades leaves the blades, the flow area suddenly expands, the gas flow rate decreases, and the high-speed kinetic energy of the airflow is lost again. It can be seen that every time the gas passes through a layer of swirl plate tray from bottom to top, it will cause two kinetic energy losses and produce pressure drop. The number of swirl plate trays in a tower ranges from a dozen layers to dozens of layers. Therefore, the total pressure drop of the gas from the bottom of the tower to the top of the tower will be relatively large, making the pressure at the outlet of the tower plate significantly lower than the pressure at the feed port, which will increase the power consumption of the subsequent process, thus increasing both energy consumption and production costs.

[0033] Embodiment 1:
[0034] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown: an energy-saving cyclone plate tower, comprising: a tower shell 1, a cyclone plate tray 2, a downcomer 3, a feed inlet 4, a gas outlet 5 and a liquid outlet 6;
[0035] The tower shell 1 is arranged vertically, the gas outlet 5 is arranged at the top of the tower shell 1, the liquid outlet 6 is arranged at the bottom of the tower shell 1, and the feed inlet 4 is arranged on one side of the side wall of the tower shell 1 close to the liquid outlet 6;
[0036] A plurality of cyclone plate trays 2 are sequentially arranged in the interior of the tower shell 1 along the length direction of the tower shell 1 at intervals; each cyclone plate tray 2 comprises a streamlined guide body 21, blades 22, a cover tube 23 and a bottom plate 24, and the streamlined guide body 21 has an approximately streamlined shape;
[0037] The streamlined guide body 21 is arranged at the center of the cyclone plate tray 2, the cover tube 23 is coaxially arranged with the streamlined guide body 21, the bottom plate 24 is arranged at the bottom of the cover tube 23 and extends toward the outer edge of the cover tube 23, the outer ends of a plurality of blades 22 are connected to the inner wall of the cover tube 23, and the inner ends are connected to the side of the streamlined guide body 21;
[0038] One end of a plurality of groups of downcomers 3 is led out from the downcomer holes 241 of the bottom plate 24 , and the other end faces the streamlined guide body 21 of the next layer.
[0039] By arranging the streamlined flow guide 21 at the center of the cyclone plate tray 2, the outer ends of a plurality of blades 22 are connected to the inner wall of the cover tube 23, and the inner ends are connected to the side of the streamlined flow guide 21; one end of a plurality of groups of downcomers 3 is led out from the downcomer hole 241 of the bottom plate 24, and the other end is directed toward the streamlined flow guide 21 of the next layer. After the streamlined flow guide 21 is arranged at the center of the cyclone plate tray 2, the flow field of the gas is optimized, the kinetic energy loss of the gas passing through the cyclone plate tray 2 is reduced, thereby reducing the pressure drop of the gas in the tower, which can reduce the power consumption of the subsequent process and save production costs.
[0040] By designing the downcomer 3 to be a streamlined flow guide 21 facing the next layer, the liquid is collected and collected in the liquid collecting tank after rotating on each layer of the tower tray, and the liquid can smoothly flow from the downcomer 3 to the top of the streamlined flow guide 21 of the next layer, and then be blown into droplets by the high-speed airflow passing through the blades. In this process, gas-liquid mass transfer is carried out, and the remaining droplets are thrown to the tower wall by the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed airflow, and then collected in the liquid collecting tank, and flow from the downcomer to the next layer of tower trays. In this embodiment, a group of downcomers 3 of the lowest layer of tower trays 2 are vertically led toward the bottom of the tower shell 1, so that the liquid flows directly to the bottom of the tower and is discharged from the tower.
[0041] Among them, the streamlined flow guide 21 includes a cone 211 at the top, a cylinder 212 in the middle and a hemisphere 213 at the bottom. Specifically, the streamlined flow guide 21 composed of the cone 211, the cylinder 212 and the hemisphere 213, the cone 211 at the top can help the liquid to be evenly distributed on the surface of the conductor, reduce the possibility of the liquid forming a thick liquid film on the surface of the conductor, thereby improving the utilization efficiency and reaction speed of the liquid; the design at the bottom of the hemisphere 213 optimizes the flow field of the airflow when passing through the streamlined flow guide 21, reduces the kinetic energy loss of the gas through the cyclone plate tray 2, thereby reducing the pressure drop of the gas in the tower, which can reduce the power consumption of the subsequent process and save production costs.
[0042] As a preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned embodiment, the streamlined flow guide 21 is a solid integral structure. Specifically, on the one hand, the solid structure can be processed and formed in one piece, reducing complex manufacturing steps and processing requirements; on the other hand, the solid design provides higher mechanical integrity, avoiding the risk of cracks and ruptures that may be caused by thin-walled or hollow designs, and the equipment is safer and more reliable when operating in high-pressure and high-temperature environments.
[0043] In this embodiment, the cone 211 protrudes from the blade 22, and the outlet of the downcomer 3 is aligned with the side of the cone 211. Specifically, after the liquid flows out from the outlet of the downcomer 3, it rotates and slides down along the surface of the cone 211. Through the action of centrifugal force, the liquid is quickly thrown to the edge of the blade 22 to form a uniform liquid film. The swirl effect increases the momentum transfer and material exchange rate between the gas and the liquid, and significantly improves the mass transfer efficiency in the tower; wherein, the top of the cone 211 and the connection between the cone 211 and the cylinder 212 are provided with a rounded corner 217 transition. Specifically, the rounded corner 217 transition design makes the airflow flow more smoothly at the connection between the cone 211 and the cylinder 212, reducing the flow resistance. The rounded corner 217 transition helps to smooth this change, reduce the overall fluid resistance and pressure drop, reduce the energy consumption of the compressor, and thus reduce the overall energy consumption and operating costs.
[0044] As a preference of the above embodiment, the angle a of the cone 211 is 30° to 60°, and preferably, the angle a of the cone 211 is 50°.
[0045] In this embodiment, a reflux port 7 is further included. The reflux port 7 is arranged on the side wall of the tower shell 1. Specifically, the reflux port 7 is used to replenish the liquid in the upper part of the tower, so as to maintain the stability of the operation in the tower and improve the reliability of the treatment effect.
[0046] It also includes a skirt seat 8, which is arranged at the bottom of the tower shell 1. Specifically, on the one hand, the setting of the skirt seat 8 provides additional support for the bottom of the tower shell 1, thereby increasing the stability of the tower shell 1; on the other hand, the skirt seat 8 provides space for the liquid outlet 6 pipeline at the bottom of the tower shell 1, thereby making the installation, adjustment and maintenance process of the pipeline easier.
[0047] Embodiment 2:
[0048] like Figure 7 As shown, unlike Example 1, the streamlined flow guide 21 is formed by splicing hollow structures. Specifically, the streamlined flow guide 21 is sequentially spliced by a hemispherical shell 216, a cylindrical shell 215 and a conical shell 214; on the one hand, the design of the hollow structure significantly reduces the overall weight of the conductor, which makes the cyclone plate tower more convenient during transportation, installation and operation; on the other hand, the hollow spliced structure saves materials and reduces production costs compared to the solid structure; in addition, by adopting the splicing design, the streamlined flow guide 21 can be realized through a modular production method, which not only simplifies the manufacturing process, but also facilitates the later installation and disassembly, and reduces the problems encountered during the manufacturing and maintenance process.
[0049] Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the description are only for explaining the principle of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, which are within the scope of the present invention.
