Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of falling film evaporators, in particular to a film distributor for a falling film evaporator. Background Art
[0002] Falling film evaporation involves adding liquid from the upper tube box of the falling film evaporator's heating chamber. Liquid is evenly distributed to each heat exchange tube through a liquid distribution and film-forming device. Under the influence of gravity, vacuum induction, and airflow, the liquid flows from top to bottom in a uniform film. During this flow, it is heated and vaporized by the shell-side heating medium. The generated vapor and liquid enter the separation chamber of the evaporator together. After sufficient separation, the vapor enters the condenser for condensation (single-effect operation) or enters the next-effect evaporator as a heating medium, thus achieving multi-effect operation. The liquid is discharged from the separation chamber.
[0003] The film distributor is a key film-forming device in a falling film evaporator. Its structural design is crucial to the film-forming effect, which in turn affects the performance and operational effectiveness of the falling film evaporator. During the falling liquid flow, uneven distribution and poor film formation can easily lead to dry spots on the inner walls of the heat exchange tubes, which in turn can cause scaling. This can affect the evaporator's heat transfer performance and operational stability, reducing its processing capacity. Utility Model Content

A plurality of fine through holes are evenly arranged on the second dispersion plate 106. The surface of the second dispersion plate 106 is sprayed with a nano-scale hydrophobic material. The nano-scale hydrophobic material can make the liquid falling on the second dispersion plate 106 attract each other under the action of surface tension, so that it will not fall directly but will first form a layer of water. When the gravity of the water exceeds the surface tension, the water falls evenly from the through holes. The bottom of the second dispersion plate 106 is fixedly connected with a guide. The flow rod 107 and the cone head 108 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide rod 107, and a guide groove 109 is provided on the circumferential surface of the guide rod 107. There are multiple guide grooves 109, which are evenly distributed on the guide rod 107. There are multiple guide rods 107 and cone heads 108, which are evenly distributed on the second dispersion plate 106, and are used to evenly guide the liquid falling on the second dispersion plate 106 to the bottom, and under the action of the guide groove 109, the liquid flow rate is accelerated to improve the heat exchange efficiency.
[0022] The heat exchange assembly 2 includes a heat exchanger 201, a drainage groove 202 and a heat exchange tube 203.

The second dispersion plate 106 has small through holes and a nano-scale hydrophobic coating is sprayed on the surface, so that the liquid will first be stabilized above the second dispersion plate 106 due to its own surface tension. When the weight of the liquid is too heavy and exceeds the surface tension, the liquid falls downward through the through holes, so that the liquid falls more evenly, and the guide groove 109 on the guide rod 107 below quickly and evenly guides the liquid downward to form a water film with the inner wall of the heat exchange tube 203. The formed water film is more uniform, so that the heat exchange effect of the device is better.
