Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bundle tube reactor devices, in particular to a pressure liquid-cooled bundle tube reactor. Background Art
[0002] The pressurized liquid-cooled tube bundle reactor is a common reactor device, which is mainly used in various chemical reaction processes such as oxidation, hydrogenation, polymerization, etc. in the chemical and petrochemical industries.
[0003] Problems can arise particularly in highly exothermic and temperature-sensitive reactions, such as traditional ammonia and methanol synthesis. For example, at atmospheric pressure, the boiling point of the cooling liquid is relatively low, making it prone to vaporization. However, at higher pressures, the boiling point of the cooling liquid increases significantly, maintaining its liquid state and improving heat transfer efficiency. If a large amount of heat is generated during the reaction, the cooling liquid may partially vaporize at atmospheric pressure. This vaporization can cause poor flow of the cooling liquid, reducing heat transfer efficiency. When adding cooling medium to a traditional tube bundle reactor, the heat transfer pipes are generally several interconnected straight tubes that cool the reactants within the reactor bundle. However, the cooling medium may reside in the heat transfer pipes too briefly, reducing the cooling effect. Furthermore, during the mixing of highly exothermic reactions, the instantaneous heat release impacts the heat transfer pipes and the reactor bundle tubes, causing them to vibrate. Therefore, to improve the overall performance and operational stability of the reactor, we propose a pressurized liquid-cooled tube bundle reactor to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art by providing a pressurized liquid-cooled tube bundle reactor. A flowable channel is formed in the tube bundle reactor through the outer tube shell and the inner tubes of the reaction bundle to facilitate the delivery of a cooling medium. A spiral opening is provided at the medium inlet to prevent excessive flow of the cooling medium. Furthermore, a spiral medium connecting pipe connected to the medium inlet protects the heat transfer tubes and the inner tubes of the reaction bundle from the impact of instantaneous heat release during mixing of a highly exothermic reaction, thereby causing the heat transfer tubes and the inner tubes of the reaction bundle to shake. This helps to improve the fluidity of the cooling medium and increase the time it stays in the heat transfer tubes, thereby improving the overall performance and operational stability of the reactor.
[0005] The present invention also provides a tube bundle reactor with the above-mentioned pressure liquid cooling, comprising: a tube bundle reactor, wherein the tube bundle reactor is mainly composed of a tube body shell, a reaction tube bundle inner tube, and a heat conduction tube, wherein the heat conduction tube is located between the tube body shell and the reaction tube bundle inner tube, and the outer surface of the heat conduction tube is in contact with the outer wall surface of the reaction tube bundle inner tube, and the upper surface of the tube body shell is provided with a medium inlet end, the inner part of the medium inlet end is provided with a spiral mouth, the bottom end of the medium inlet end is fixedly connected to a medium connecting pipe 1, and the end of the medium connecting pipe 1 away from the medium inlet end is connected to the heat conduction tube, and a plurality of heat conduction tubes are provided, the shape of the heat conduction tube is set to be a straight tube, and the shape of the medium connecting pipe 1 is set to be spiral, and the outer surface of the tube body shell is provided with a medium outlet end.
[0006] According to the pressurized liquid-cooled tube bundle reactor of the present invention, one end of several heat-conducting tubes is fixedly connected to a connecting tube, which has a connecting end and a closed end. The connecting end is connected to one end of a medium connecting tube, thereby connecting the heat-conducting tubes and forming a flow channel among the heat-conducting tubes.
[0007] According to the pressurized liquid-cooled tube bundle reactor of the present invention, a plurality of heat-conducting tubes are fixedly connected to a second medium connecting tube at one end away from the connecting tube. The second medium connecting tube is shorter than the first medium connecting tube, thereby extending the time that the flowing cooling medium remains inside the tube body.
[0008] According to the pressurized liquid-cooled tube bundle reactor of the present invention, the end of the second medium connecting pipe away from the heat conducting pipe is fixedly connected to the medium outlet end, so as to allow the elevated temperature cooling medium to flow into the external cooling device for cooling.
[0009] According to the pressurized liquid-cooled tube bundle reactor of the present invention, a circular baffle is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the inner tubes of the reactor bundle where they meet the heat transfer pipes. The baffle supports the inner tubes of the reactor bundle, enhancing their overall stability and seismic resistance.
[0010] According to the pressurized liquid-cooled tube bundle reactor of the present invention, a heat conducting sheet made of aluminum is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the inner tube of the reactor bundle where it connects to the heat conducting pipe. This sheet helps evenly distribute the temperature gradient between the reaction area and the heat conducting area, preventing local overheating or overcooling.
[0011] According to the pressurized liquid-cooled tube bundle reactor of the present invention, fixing plates are fixedly connected to the connection between the outer tube shell and the ends of the inner tubes of the reaction tube bundle. Fluid ports 1 and 2 are provided at both ends of the inner tubes of the reaction tube bundle, respectively, for adding and releasing reaction raw materials.
[0012] According to the pressurized liquid-cooled tube bundle reactor of the present invention, the outer surface of the tube shell is fixedly connected to a support base for fixing and supporting the tube shell.
[0013] Beneficial effects: In the tube bundle reactor, a flowable channel is formed through the tube body shell and the inner tube of the reaction tube bundle, which is convenient for conveying the cooling medium, and a spiral port is provided at the medium inlet end to prevent the cooling medium from flowing too fast. The spiral medium connecting pipe connected to the medium inlet end also protects against the impact of the instantaneous heat release on the heat conduction tube and the inner tube of the reaction tube bundle during the mixing of the strong exothermic reaction, thereby causing the heat conduction tube and the inner tube of the reaction tube bundle to shake. It also helps to improve the fluidity of the cooling medium and increase the residence time in the heat conduction tube, thereby improving the overall performance and operation stability of the reactor.

Impact, the bottom end of the medium inlet end 4 is fixedly connected with a medium connecting pipe 9, which is used to protect the heat pipe 10 and the inner tube 8 of the reaction tube bundle from the impact of instantaneous heat release during the strong exothermic reaction mixing, thereby causing the inner tube 8 of the reaction tube bundle to shake. The end of the medium connecting pipe 9 away from the medium inlet end 4 is connected to the heat pipe 10 to form a circulatory flow channel. There are several heat pipes 10, and the shape of the heat pipe 10 is set to be a straight pipe, which is used to directly act on the inner tube 8 of the reaction tube bundle. The shape of the medium connecting pipe 9 is set to be spiral, which is used to slow down the flow rate of the cooling medium and slow down the impact and shaking on the heat pipe 10. The outer surface of the tube body shell 7 is provided with a medium outlet end 5, which is used to transmit the heated cooling medium to an external cooling device.
[0024] One end of several heat-conducting pipes 10 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 13, and the connecting pipe 13 is provided with a connecting end and a closed end. The connecting end is connected to one end of the medium connecting pipe 1 9, and is used to connect the heat-conducting pipes 10 and form a circulation channel in the several heat-conducting pipes 10, and form a cooling channel for the cooling medium with the medium connecting pipe 1 9 and the medium connecting pipe 2 91.

Finally, the cooling medium after flowing takes away the reaction heat and reduces the reaction temperature. After the cooling medium temperature rises, the heated cooling medium is then passed through the electromagnetic valve at the medium outlet end 5 to enter the external cooling device for cooling.
