Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of energy recovery and utilization devices, in particular to an energy recovery and utilization device for a distillation tower. Background Art

[0002] Distillation towers are crucial equipment in chemical production, with energy consumption primarily concentrated in the tower's bottom reboiler and preheating incoming materials. Consequently, there's waste in heat exchange with the overhead condenser and in the energy carried away by the overhead and bottom discharges. For example, our company's benzaldehyde distillation tower processes 400 tons of material daily, consuming 10,000 cubic meters of natural gas. Previously, the overhead temperature reached 160°C, and circulating water was used for cooling, resulting in wasted energy. This high energy consumption is particularly pronounced during high-temperature distillation processes, increasing production costs. Currently, through technological improvements, we've developed an energy recovery device for distillation towers. This involves cooling the overhead material in two stages. In the first stage, the higher temperature heat transfer oil is used to heat the incoming material, while the excess heat is used for other heating equipment. After a period of trial operation, we've been able to reuse more than half of the natural gas energy, saving 5,000 cubic meters of natural gas per day, or approximately 20,000 yuan.

[0003] At present, there is a method of using the heat from the top discharge condenser of a distillation tower for preheating materials and heating some workshop equipment. However, in the existing distillation tower energy recovery and utilization device technology, when transferring excess heat to other equipment that needs to be heated, the connection method of its traditional heat exchange interface is relatively complicated, making the disassembly and assembly process more troublesome, and not convenient for rapid disassembly and switching between different equipment, which limits the flexible distribution and utilization of heat. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a heat exchange interface that can be easily and quickly disassembled and assembled to achieve efficient transfer of excess heat from thermal oil to different heating equipment in the workshop; to this end, the utility model proposes an energy recovery and utilization device for distillation towers.

The waste heat of the primary heat-conducting oil condenser 2 and the secondary heat-conducting oil condenser 3 is also used to heat the incoming materials of the distillation tower 1 and a heating device 4. The primary heat-conducting oil condenser 2 and the secondary heat-conducting oil condenser 3 are connected to the distillation tower 1 and the heating device 4 respectively through pipelines.

[0022] like Figure 2-3One end of the pipe connecting the first-stage thermal oil condenser 2 and the second-stage thermal oil condenser 3 is fixedly provided with a heat exchange interface body 6, a mounting base 5 is fixedly provided on the heating device 4, a heat pipe 401 is fixedly sleeved on the mounting base 5, a plug-in groove 402 is provided on the mounting base 5 above the heat pipe 401, and a heat pipe joint 601 is inserted into the plug-in groove 402, a heat pipe joint 601 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the heat exchange interface body 6, and the heat pipe joint 601 is in sealing contact with the heat pipe 401, and the heat pipe The bottom end of 401 also extends into the heating device 4; both sides of the thermal oil pipe joint 601 are fixedly connected with the inclined trapezoidal block 604, and the inner walls on both sides of the plug-in slot 402 are provided with grooves 11, and a threaded tube 9 is movably provided in the groove 11, and the right end of the threaded tube 9 is fixedly connected with a conical head 10, and the right end of the conical head 10 is movably extended into the groove 11 and slidably contacts with the inclined surface of the inclined trapezoidal block 604; the left end of the threaded tube 9 is threadedly connected with a screw 8, and the left end of the screw 8 rotates and passes through the outside of the mounting seat 5 and is fixedly connected with a knob 7.

[0023] In this embodiment, a ring-shaped portion 602 is provided at the bottom end of the thermal oil pipe joint 601, and a sealing ring 603 is provided on the bottom side of the ring-shaped portion 602. The ring-shaped portion 602 at the bottom of the thermal oil pipe joint 601 is in sealing contact with the top end of the heat pipe 401 through the sealing ring 603.

[0024] In this embodiment, a slider 13 is fixedly provided on the threaded tube 9 located in the groove 11, and a slide groove is symmetrically provided on the inner wall of the groove 11, and the slider 13 is slidably provided in the slide groove; a bearing 12 is provided on the left inner wall of the groove 11, and the screw 8 is rotatably installed on the bearing 12.

[0026] like Figure 1-4The device shown is for recovering and utilizing energy from a distillation tower. The top material of the distillation tower 1 is cooled in two stages using a primary thermal oil condenser 2 and a secondary thermal oil condenser 3. After cooling, the thermal oil absorbs heat, and the higher temperature thermal oil is used to heat the incoming material. The excess heat is used in other heating equipment 4, which is conducive to the reuse of excess heat and greatly saves costs. Moreover, the present invention changes the conventional connection mode of the heat exchange interface when transferring excess heat to other devices 4 that need to be heated, making the connection between the heat exchange interface body 6 and the mounting base 5 on the heating device 4 very convenient, that is, when a connection replacement is required, the screw rod 8 is rotated by the knob 7, so that the threaded tube 9 can be threaded to the left or right on the screw rod 8. When the two threaded tubes 9 are moved away from each other, the two conical heads 10 can be driven away from each other.

The screw 8 and the threaded tube 9 are threadedly driven, and the two threaded tubes 9 and the tapered head 10 are brought closer to each other, so that the tapered head 10 contacts the inclined top surface of the inclined trapezoidal block 604. This allows the sealing ring 603 at the bottom of the heat transfer oil pipe joint 601 to contact and tightly contact the heat transfer pipe 401, thereby quickly and securely mounting the heat exchange interface body 6 on the mounting seat 5 of the heating device 4. In this way, when it is necessary to transfer excess heat to other heating devices, the connection between the heat exchange interface body 6 and the mounting seat 5 on the heating device 4 is very convenient, making it convenient for people to quickly connect and switch between different heating devices, thereby facilitating the flexible distribution and utilization of excess heat and improving the speed of the connection process.
