Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of packed towers, and particularly relates to a rectifying tower top reflux liquid collecting device. Background Technique

[0002] A rectifying tower can form a phase interface where gas and liquid are in full contact, enabling the rapid and effective transfer of mass and heat. After contact mixing and mass transfer, the gas and liquid phases can be separated in time without entrainment. Rectifying towers can be classified into two categories according to the contact method: continuous contact type (packed tower) and stage-by-stage contact type (plate tower). Among them, in a packed tower, a certain height of packing is filled in a cylindrical shell, so that the liquid is evenly distributed on the top of the packing layer through a top spray device of the tower, and at the same time, it flows through the packing layer from top to bottom along the surface of the packing by gravity and is discharged from the bottom of the tower; the gas passes through the voids of the packing layer under the push of the pressure difference and flows from one end of the tower to the other end, enabling the gas and liquid to contact on the surface of the packing for mass and heat exchange, and the composition of the two phases changes continuously along the height of the tower. When heat transfer occurs between the gas and liquid phases in a packed rectifying tower, due to the difference in air pressure values between the inlet gas and the outlet gas, the gas at the outlet end is likely to carry liquid and overflow from the gas outlet end, and it is necessary to collect and process the reflux liquid.

[0003] The existing reflux liquid collecting devices are often reflux pipes, which redistribute the liquid by connecting to the top of the rectifying tower. However, the gas phase remaining in the redistributed liquid is likely to disturb the flowing gas phase during the redistribution process, affecting the heat exchange efficiency between the gas and liquid phases. Therefore, we propose a rectifying tower top reflux liquid collecting device that can reduce the gas phase disturbance. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a rectifying tower top reflux liquid collecting device to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.

The gas valve controls the air flow through the top opening of the three-way external discharge pipe, and can avoid the high-moisture gas from flowing back at the top opening of the three-way external discharge pipe and disturbing the mass and heat transfer of the gas-liquid phase.

[0007] As a further scheme of the present utility model: The reflux drainage pipe forms an acute angle with the horizontal plane. One end of the reflux drainage pipe is welded to the reflux port of the three-way external discharge pipe, and the three-way external discharge pipe passes the gas-liquid mixture with abnormal moisture content into the reflux drainage pipe.

[0008] As a further scheme of the present utility model: Heat dissipation fins are fixed on the surface of the reflux drainage pipe, and the heat dissipation fins are arranged in an equidistant circular array on the surface of the reflux drainage pipe.

[0009] As a further scheme of the present utility model: The gas-liquid separation pipe is a continuous S-shaped hollow pipe. One end of the gas-liquid separation pipe forms an arc-shaped pipe. The gas-liquid separation pipe is communicated with the gas return channel through the arc-shaped pipe. The gas return channels are linearly arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction, and can uniformly recover the refluxed gas.

[0010] As a further solution of the present utility model: A first valve is installed at the connection between the manifold pipe and the intake passage. The first valve is a one-way valve, which can prevent gas from flowing back.

[0022] One end of the three-way outer discharge pipe 6 is connected with a reflux drainage pipe 7. The lower end of the reflux drainage pipe 7 is detachably connected with a gas-liquid separation pipeline 10. A plurality of dispersion plates 11 are welded on the inner wall of the gas-liquid separation pipeline 10. The dispersion plates 11 are used to disperse the vapor-liquid mixture entering the gas-liquid separation pipeline 10. The bottom of the gas-liquid separation pipeline 10 is communicated with a collection box 18. The top of the collection box 18 is connected with a delivery pipe 19.

[0023] Preferably, as Figure 1 shown, the reflux drainage pipe 7 forms an acute angle with the horizontal plane. One end of the reflux drainage pipe 7 is welded to the reflux port of the three-way outer discharge pipe 6. The three-way outer discharge pipe 6 feeds the vapor-liquid mixture with abnormal water content into the reflux drainage pipe 7.

[0024] Preferably, as Figure 2 shown, heat dissipation fins 8 are fixed on the surface of the reflux drainage pipe 7. The heat dissipation fins 8 are arranged in an equidistant circular array on the surface of the reflux drainage pipe 7. The heat dissipation fins 8 can accelerate the condensation speed of the high-temperature water-containing gas.

[0025] Preferably, as Figure 3 shown, the gas-liquid separation pipeline 10 is a continuous S-shaped hollow pipeline. One end of the gas-liquid separation pipeline 10 forms an arc-shaped pipeline. The gas-liquid separation pipeline 10 is communicated with the gas reflux channel 12 through the arc-shaped pipeline.

[0029] Working principle: During use, when the moisture detector 5 detects the moisture contained in the gas discharged from the rectification tower body 1 and the moisture content of the discharged gas exceeds the preset standard, the moisture detector 5 sends the detection result to the external controller. The external controller sends a shut-off signal to the gas valve 9 to close the gas valve 9, and conveys the gas discharged from the rectification tower body 1 into the reflux diversion pipe 7, and cools and condenses it through the heat sink 8, so that the hot air with moisture condenses and flows back. When the water vapor enters the gas-liquid separation pipe 10, the dispersing tablets 11 in the gas-liquid separation pipe 10 disperse the water vapor, which is beneficial for the gas to escape through the gas return channel 12. The escaped gas enters the intake channel 2 through the manifold 13 for recovery. Open the second valve 16, and the liquid-phase fluid at the separation flows into the collection tank 18 for storage. When the fluid stored inside the collection tank 18 exceeds the maximum storage capacity, it is discharged from the collection tank 18 through the delivery pipe 19 connected to the lift pump body.
