Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, in particular to a methanol-to-olefins refrigeration device. Background Art
[0002] Methanol to olefins (MTO) refers to the technology of producing low-carbon hydrocarbons (ethylene, propylene) from methanol. The main reaction principle is that methanol is first dehydrated to produce dimethyl ether, and then the equilibrium mixture of dimethyl ether and raw material methanol is dehydrated and further converted into low-carbon olefins mainly composed of ethylene and propylene.
[0003] In the existing methanol to olefins process, a large amount of heat is generated. If it is not refrigerated in time, the stability and efficiency of the reaction will be reduced. Generally, the heat brought by the reaction chamber is taken away by coolant to achieve the cooling effect. When the coolant accepts a large amount of heat, it cannot be quickly discharged and then replaced, resulting in unstable heat, which in turn affects the efficiency of the reaction. Therefore, a methanol to olefins refrigeration device is urgently needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

The water pump will circulate the coolant inside the cooling box to the serpentine delivery pipe to cool the reactor, thereby improving the refrigeration efficiency.
[0009] As a further solution of the present invention, the stirring mechanism includes a rotating rod rotatably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the cooling box, and a number of stirring plates are fixed to the outer walls of the two rotating rods. The stirring plates will stir the coolant circulating inside the cooling box to cool it quickly.
[0010] As a further solution of the present invention, two synchronous wheels are provided on the outer wall of the other side of the cooling box. The two synchronous wheels correspond to the two rotating rods one by one and are fixedly connected to one side thereof. The outer walls of the two synchronous wheels are provided with adaptive synchronous belts.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0015] The utility model adopts a semiconductor refrigeration chip, which is adjusted to a suitable temperature by a controller. When the water pump extracts the coolant inside the cooling box and then injects the coolant into the cooling box, the first part of the coolant extracted will be transported to the serpentine delivery pipe, and then discharged into the cooling box from the first connecting pipe. In this process, the coolant inside the cooling box that has been cooled can be extracted and transported to the serpentine delivery pipe by the water pump, and then the motor is started. The motor will drive the rotating rod to rotate, and the rotating rod will drive the stirring plate to stir the coolant with a certain amount of heat inside the cooling box, thereby accelerating the contact area between the coolant and the refrigeration end of the semiconductor refrigeration chip, thereby quickly stirring the coolant.
