AI Technical Summary
The traditional gas distributor concentrated under the inlet pipe cannot meet the requirements of stable guidance, uniform distribution and low resistance of the reaction gas in large fixed-bed catalytic reactors.
A combined gas distributor is used, including a primary baffle and a secondary diffuser, designed as an arched plate and conical louver structure. The flow is adjusted through the gas mixing chamber and adjustable baffle to achieve stable downward flow and uniform distribution of gas.
It achieves stable gas flow without bias flow and turbulence in large reactors, reduces resistance drop, and evenly distributes gas to each heat exchange tube, making it suitable for large-diameter reactors.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a fixed bed catalytic reactor, in particular to a combined gas distributor. Background Art
[0002] Fixed-bed catalytic reactors are the main equipment widely used in the petrochemical industry. Their basic structures can be divided into two categories: packed bed and shell-and-tube catalytic reactors.
[0003] As the equipment becomes larger, the diameter of the reactor is also increasing. The traditional gas distributor concentrated under the inlet pipe can no longer meet the use requirements. How to guide the incoming reaction gas to form a stable downward flow, without bias flow, turbulence, low resistance drop, and evenly distribute it to each heat exchange tube is an extremely important issue. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model proposes a combined gas distributor, aiming to solve the above problems.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model:
[0006] A combined gas distributor, comprising a primary baffle and several secondary diffusers; characterized in that the gas distributor also includes a cylindrical shell, which is installed in a fixed bed catalytic reactor, with an upper opening facing the air inlet of the fixed bed catalytic reactor and a lower end being a bottom plate, forming a gas mixing chamber in the fixed bed catalytic reactor, the primary baffle being installed in the gas mixing chamber, facing the air inlet of the fixed bed catalytic reactor, with several sieve holes distributed on it, and the secondary diffusers being distributed and installed on the bottom plate.
[0007] The above technical solution is further refined, and the first-level baffle is an arched plate; it allows the gas to diffuse radially while increasing the gas flow area and reducing the resistance drop.
[0008] The secondary diffuser is a tapered louver diffuser; its smooth streamlined design changes the gas flow direction while reducing the resistance drop, guiding the incoming reaction gas to form a stable downward flow, without bias flow, turbulence, low resistance drop, and evenly distribute it to each heat exchange tube
[0009] The above technical solution is further improved in that an adjustable baffle is connected to the middle of the conical louver diffuser through a screw; the flow rate is adjusted by adjusting the gap between the adjustable baffle and the innermost blades of the conical louver diffuser through the screw.
[0010] The above technical solution is further refined. The base plate is composed of several blocks, and the blocks are fixedly connected by bolts; it is easy to manufacture and install; and each secondary diffuser is installed on each block in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0011] The above technical solution is further refined, and the blocks are folded thin plate structures.
[0012] The advantages of the utility model are reasonable design and simple structure. A gas mixing chamber is designed, and air is introduced into the air inlet of the fixed bed catalytic reactor. The gas diffuses into the gas mixing chamber through a primary baffle, where the gas is further expanded, and the kinetic energy of the gas is converted into static energy. The gas is then guided through each secondary diffuser to form a stable downward flow with no biased flow, no turbulence, low resistance drop, and is evenly distributed to each heat exchange tube. The utility model is suitable for large-diameter large reactors. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
