Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of organic chemical product biodiesel production equipment, in particular to a heat transfer oil temperature control device for a biodiesel distillation production gas furnace. Background Art

[0002] Industrial production of biodiesel generally uses waste animal and plant oils as raw materials. After the raw oil is purified, it undergoes a two-step chemical process of methyl esterification and ester exchange at a specific temperature to produce crude biodiesel, and then undergoes high-vacuum continuous reduced-pressure distillation to obtain finished biodiesel; after the crude methyl ester enters the biodiesel distillation tower, the heat transfer oil is heated to 250°C through a heat transfer oil furnace. At -0.05MPa, different types of qualified biodiesel products are obtained from different distillation towers according to different boiling points. Since heat transfer oil furnaces generally use natural gas as fuel, they are also called gas furnaces; the heat medium of the distillation tower is heat transfer oil, which is heated in the boiler room and then transported to the reboiler of the distillation tower through a pipeline; since the temperature fluctuation of the heat transfer oil has a great influence on the operating stability of the distillation tower, and the application market has increasingly higher requirements for the sulfur content of biodiesel, the temperature of the heat transfer oil is required to be stable, and the temperature difference of the heat transfer oil in production should be controlled within plus or minus 0.5°C. Usually, the gas thermal oil furnace burner is equipped with a burner temperature control system, which generally has two states: manual and automatic. In actual production, if the burner control table sets the temperature to the automatic control state, the temperature difference of the thermal oil can only be controlled at the level of plus or minus 3°C, which cannot meet the production requirements. Therefore, the burner control table can only set the temperature to the manual state, that is, manually control the manual button. However, this operation method increases the workload of the operator on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is difficult to control the thermal oil temperature due to the greater influence of human factors, and it is difficult to ensure temperature stability.
