TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of esterification reaction kettle, specifically relates to a built-in column tube type heat exchanger of esterification reaction kettle. BACKGROUND
[0002] In chemical production, esterification reaction is one of the key steps, and its efficiency directly affects the quality and production cost of products. The traditional esterification reaction kettle usually adopts coil heating mode, but this mode has problems of insufficient heating area and low heat transfer efficiency, which limits the production capacity and reaction efficiency of the reaction kettle. In addition, the coil type heat exchanger also has inconvenience in manufacturing, transportation and maintenance. INVENTION CONTENTS
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, and provide a built-in column tube type heat exchanger of esterification reaction kettle, which is used to solve the technical problems of insufficient heating area and low heat transfer efficiency of the esterification reaction kettle in the prior art.
[0004] The technical scheme for solving the above technical problem is as follows: a built-in column tube type heat exchanger of esterification reaction kettle, comprising:
[0005] The column tube type heat exchanger is arranged inside and below the esterification reaction kettle, and the column tube type heat exchanger is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the esterification reaction kettle;
[0006] The column tube type heat exchanger is provided with a low-level inlet and a high-level outlet on the side surface;
[0007] The upper tube plate and the lower tube plate of the column tube type heat exchanger are annular, and the stirring paddle of the esterification reaction kettle is arranged in the middle part of the column tube type heat exchanger.
[0008] The utility model places the column tube type heat exchanger inside and below the esterification reaction kettle, and combines the stirring paddle to extrude the material downward, and then the material is returned to the upper part of the esterification reaction kettle through the column tube type heat exchanger. Compared with the traditional coil heating, this heating mode has better and more uniform heating effect on the material.
[0009] Further, baffles are arranged between the heat exchange tubes of the column tube type heat exchanger.
[0010] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the baffles make the heat conducting medium in the column tube type heat exchanger have a spiral upward movement track, which can prolong the contact area (not direct contact) of the heat conducting medium and the material for heat exchange, and improve the heating effect.
[0011] Furthermore, an inner tube is provided above the shell-and-tube heat exchanger, a notch is provided on the wall of the inner tube, a sealing plate is provided on one side of the notch, and the sealing plate connects the outer side of the wall of the inner tube and the inner wall of the esterification reactor.
[0012] The beneficial effect of adopting this step is that under the action of the stirring blades, the material in the middle of the esterification reactor will be squeezed into the ring center of the shell and tube heat exchanger. After the backflow material comes out of the shell and tube heat exchanger, it rises along the wall of the inner tube until the notch enters the interlayer between the inner tube and the esterification reactor.
[0013] Furthermore: the material of the heat exchange tube is stainless steel or titanium alloy, and the inner wall of the heat exchange tube is a mirror surface.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this step are: stainless steel or titanium alloy materials are corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, and have good thermal conductivity. The mirror surface can reduce the flow resistance of the heat-conducting medium and keep the interior clean.
[0015] Furthermore: a plurality of support blocks are provided between the esterification reaction kettle and the inner cylinder.
[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting this step is that the support block can strengthen the installation strength of the inner tube and prevent the inner tube from deforming and causing the interlayer to become thinner.
[0017] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0018] 1. The shell and tube heat exchanger is placed inside the esterification reactor, which has a larger contact area with the material than the coil heat exchanger, and the heat exchange of the material is more uniform;
[0019] 2. Combined with the inner cylinder, the heated material can enter the interlayer as quickly as possible to avoid excessive mixing with the material in the center, and to ensure that the heat of the heated material is not excessively absorbed by the newly added material.
