Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a double-effect distillation system, in particular to a downstream double-effect distillation system based on supergravity technology. Background Art

[0002] Distillation is an efficient separation technology that utilizes the difference in volatility of components in a mixture to achieve vapor-liquid two-phase mass and heat transfer in a distillation tower through a cyclic operation of heating, vaporization, condensation and reflux, ultimately obtaining light components at the top of the tower and heavy components at the bottom of the tower.

[0003] The conventional process requires a single distillation tower to operate at normal pressure or negative pressure, and its heat energy consumption is mainly concentrated in the steam supply of the reboiler, resulting in high operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a downstream double-effect distillation system based on supergravity technology.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a high-pressure distillation unit, including an atmospheric-pressure reboiler and an atmospheric-pressure distillation supergravity machine connected to each other; a negative-pressure distillation unit, including a negative-pressure reboiler, a negative-pressure distillation supergravity machine and a vacuum system connected to each other; a heat transfer pipeline: the atmospheric-pressure distillation supergravity machine has an atmospheric-pressure supergravity steam outlet, the negative-pressure reboiler has a negative-pressure reboiler steam inlet, the atmospheric-pressure supergravity steam outlet is connected to the negative-pressure reboiler steam inlet, the downstream material channel: the atmospheric-pressure reboiler has an atmospheric-pressure reboiler material outlet, the negative-pressure distillation supergravity machine has a negative-pressure supergravity material inlet, the atmospheric-pressure reboiler material outlet is connected to the negative-pressure reboiler steam inlet, the downstream material channel is connected to the atmospheric-pressure reboiler material outlet, the negative-pressure distillation supergravity machine has a negative-pressure supergravity material inlet, the atmospheric-pressure reboiler material outlet is connected to the negative-pressure reboiler steam ... The outlet is connected to the negative pressure supergravity material inlet through a pipeline and there is no booster pump in the middle of the pipeline; the cascade preheating component: includes a first preheater and a second preheater connected in series, wherein: the second preheater has a second cold side inlet and a second hot side inlet, the second cold side inlet is connected to the external material, and the second hot side inlet is connected to the negative pressure distillation supergravity machine; the first preheater has a first cold side inlet, a first cold side outlet and a first hot side inlet, the first cold side inlet is connected to the second cold side outlet, the first hot side inlet is connected to the atmospheric pressure supergravity distillation machine and the negative pressure reboiler, and the first cold side outlet is connected to the atmospheric pressure distillation supergravity machine.

[0010] The utility model is further configured as follows: the height of the negative pressure reboiler heat source outlet is higher than the height of the first hot side.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, no pump is used, and the gravity generated by the height difference is used to complete the transportation.

[0012] The utility model is further configured as follows: the operating pressure of the vacuum system is -0.03MPa to -0.095MPa.
