Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a battery grade DMC chemical device, and particularly relates to a novel falling film reboiler. BACKGROUND

[0002] The production capacity and operating performance of the falling film reboiler depend to a great extent on the distribution state of the liquid. Therefore, the liquid distribution device is an important component of the falling film reboiler, and its role is not only to uniformly distribute the liquid to each heat transfer pipe, but also to form a stable and uniform liquid film in the circumferential direction and the length direction of the whole pipe wall.

[0003] The liquid distribution device used in the existing falling film reboiler is a multi-layer spray tray type distributor or a liquid distributor with a spray, and the following problems exist in the use process.

[0004] 1) The clearance height between the liquid inlet and the upper tube plate needs to be increased to ensure that there is sufficient space distance to arrange the multi-layer distribution tray and the spray device, and for a large-diameter reboiler, the weight and cost of the reboiler are inevitably increased;

[0005] 2) As the structure of the distributor becomes more and more complex and the size becomes larger and larger, the weight of the spray device itself is also increased, and the stress under the impact of the material liquid is also increased, and the spray device of the above structure is fixed on the liquid inlet connector, which will cause the increase of the external load of the connector;

[0006] 3) The above large distribution tray requires high precision in manufacturing and installation, and once the levelness is out of tolerance, the uniform distribution of the material liquid cannot be guaranteed, and film formation problems are easily caused, which may reduce the service life of the equipment or even affect the safe operation of the equipment.

[0007] 4) The material liquid of the above distribution tray and spray device falls from top to bottom to the lower layer distribution tray, and the splashing of the liquid cannot be avoided, a cofferdam height of 10 times the liquid height is usually used, a large amount of space in the tube box is occupied, and foam is easily generated, which affects the stable flow of the fluid. SUMMARY

[0008] The utility model provides a novel falling film reboiler which adopts a jacket type liquid distributor supplemented by an overflow type film distribution head, and aims at solving the above problems.

[0009] The technical scheme of the utility model comprises the following steps:

[0010] A new type of falling film reboiler, which is a vertical tube-in falling film reboiler; the liquid distributor used by the falling film reboiler is a jacketed liquid distributor, which comprises an inner jacket, the inner jacket is installed in the upper head of the falling film reboiler and buckled on the upper tube plate of the falling film reboiler to form a jacketed space, the jacketed space is communicated with the feed liquid inlet of the falling film reboiler, and the bottom ring of the inner jacket is provided with a plurality of liquid discharge holes along the circumference.

[0011] The upper end of the heat exchange pipe of the falling film reboiler extends out of the upper tube plate of the falling film reboiler by a section; the film distribution head used by the falling film reboiler is an overflow type film distribution head, which is installed on the upper end of the heat exchange pipe of the falling film reboiler.

[0012] In use, the liquid material enters the jacketed space from the feed liquid inlet of the falling film reboiler, flows down in the jacketed space along the jacketed wall, solves the problem of splashing of the liquid, avoids the generation of foam, guarantees the stable flow of the fluid, flows out from the liquid discharge holes, gradually diffuses and covers the entire upper tube plate of the falling film reboiler, and the liquid level rises to overflow from the upper end of the heat exchange pipe of the falling film reboiler and form a film under the action of the overflow type film distribution head.

[0013] Further improvement is made on the above technical solution, the heat exchange pipe of the falling film reboiler is provided with a plurality of radial channels between the parts extending out of the upper tube plate of the falling film reboiler, and the radial channels meet at the center; in this way, the liquid flowing out from the liquid discharge holes converges at the center along the radial channels (with the smallest resistance), and gradually diffuses in the process of converging at the center along the radial channels, thereby forming stable horizontal flow.

[0014] Further refinement is made on the above technical solution, the inner jacket is fixed on the upper head of the falling film reboiler through a plurality of connecting rods and / or connecting plates, and the connecting rods and / or connecting plates are located in the jacketed space; the connecting rods or connecting plates can to some extent play a role in stabilizing flow and breaking foam; and the connecting rods or connecting plates do not increase the external load of the feed liquid inlet (interface pipe) of the falling film reboiler.

[0015] Further refinement is made on the above technical solution, the side edge of the connecting plate is tooth-shaped; the tooth-shaped design is more conducive to breaking foam.

[0016] The falling film reboiler has the advantages that the design is reasonable, the conception is ingenious, the liquid is distributed to the upper tube plate of the falling film reboiler by using the jacketed space, the fluid is stable, there is no foam and splashing phenomenon in the whole process, which provides a favorable environment for subsequent film formation, and the design can greatly reduce the headroom height between the feed liquid inlet and the upper tube plate of the falling film reboiler, and is suitable for large and super large falling film reboilers.
