Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of distillation towers, and in particular relates to a liquid inlet pipe structure of a distillation tower. Background Art
[0002] As a separation equipment widely used in chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical and food industries, the core function of distillation tower is to utilize the difference in volatility of each component in the mixture to achieve effective separation and purification of the mixture through countercurrent contact and mass transfer between the gas and liquid phases. During the operation of the distillation tower, the liquid inlet pipe serves as an important channel connecting the external material source with the tower. In actual operation, the liquid inlet pipe of the distillation tower is easily affected by the rising steam and faces a series of challenges.
[0003] Specifically, when the bottom reboiler heats the mixture to generate steam, the steam rises rapidly in the tower and exchanges heat with the air around the liquid inlet pipe and the tower wall. Since the liquid inlet pipe is directly exposed to the high-temperature steam environment, and part of the steam may directly impact or bypass the tower plate to contact the liquid inlet pipe, the temperature of the liquid inlet pipe increases significantly. When the temperature of the liquid inlet pipe exceeds the boiling point of the liquid material inside it, vaporization will occur. This phenomenon not only changes the physical state of the fluid in the liquid inlet pipe, but also causes the formation of gas-liquid two-phase flow in the liquid inlet pipe, which is easy to affect the outflow efficiency and stability of the liquid in the liquid inlet pipe, and thus affects the distillation, which needs to be improved. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a liquid inlet pipe structure for a distillation tower in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, so as to avoid the liquid inlet pipe being exposed to the high-temperature steam environment in the tower body and being heated, thereby affecting the liquid outflow efficiency and stability.
[0005] In view of this, the utility model provides a liquid inlet pipe structure of a distillation tower, comprising:
[0006] The tower body has a gas outlet at the top, a liquid outlet at the bottom, and a reflux outlet at the side;
[0007] The liquid inlet pipe is installed on the side of the middle section of the tower body and includes an outer pipe joint and an inner liquid inlet pipe;
[0008] The liquid inlet inner tube comprises an inner layer and an outer layer, and both the inner layer and the outer layer are connected to the outer tube joint.
[0009] In the above technical solution, further:
[0010] The inner layer is provided with a plurality of threaded holes, and the outer layer is provided with a plurality of first circular holes coaxially arranged with the threaded holes;
[0011] Among them, nozzles are installed on the multiple threaded holes, and the multiple nozzles respectively pass through the multiple first circular holes and extend to the outer surface.
[0012] In the above technical solution, further:
[0013] A plurality of spray heads are arranged in two rows at equal intervals, and the two rows of spray heads are respectively inclined towards the inner wall of the tower body.
[0014] In the above technical solution, further:
[0015] A plurality of second round holes are also opened on the outer layer.
[0016] In the above technical solution, further:
[0017] A plurality of second round holes are vertically opened towards the top of the tower body.
[0018] In the above technical solution, further, it further includes:
[0019] Support blocks, which are installed between the inner layer and the outer layer and are used for the fixed connection between the inner layer and the outer layer.
[0020] In the above technical solution, further:
[0021] The inner liquid inlet pipe is detachably connected to the outer pipe joint, and a flange end is opened at one end of the inner liquid inlet pipe close to the outer pipe joint. The outer pipe joint is provided with a connecting portion at the inner wall of the tower body, and an installation hole is opened in the connecting portion.
[0022] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0023] 1. By setting the liquid inlet pipe into a double-layer structure of an inner layer and an outer layer, and both the inner layer and the outer layer are communicated with the outer pipe joint, when liquid is introduced through the liquid inlet pipe, both the inner layer and the outer layer are filled with liquid. When the liquid inlet pipe is in a high-temperature steam environment, the outer layer is heated, and the liquid therein absorbs heat and vaporizes, which can slow down the influence of the high-temperature steam on the inner layer, ensure the efficiency of liquid inlet from the inner layer, and improve the stability of liquid inlet.
[0024] 2. By opening a plurality of threaded holes in the inner layer and a plurality of first round holes coaxial with them in the outer layer, a plurality of spray heads can be installed on the plurality of threaded holes in the inner layer, and the spray heads can extend through the plurality of first round holes to the surface of the liquid inlet pipe, thereby effectively ensuring the uniformity and stability of the liquid inlet of the liquid inlet pipe and improving the liquid inlet efficiency.
[0025] 3. By opening a plurality of second round holes on the outer layer, the gas formed by the vaporization of the liquid in the outer layer after being heated can flow out from the second round holes, and then new liquid is replenished in the outer layer, which can prevent the temperature of the outer layer from being too high and conducting heat to the inner layer, and has a good heat insulation effect on the inner layer.
[0026] 4. And initially, the second round hole can also serve as the liquid outlet, further ensuring the liquid inlet efficiency and uniformity. The vaporized gas flows out from the second round hole and rises together with the steam in the tower, which can effectively avoid waste of this part of heat, effectively improve the thermal efficiency of the steam, reduce heat loss, and the opening facing vertically towards the top of the tower can ensure the stability and uniformity of the rising steam, making up for the part of the steam blocked at the liquid inlet pipe in the tower.
