Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of petroleum refining, concretely relates to a feed plate heat exchanger. BACKGROUND

[0002] The petroleum refining industry uses various media as raw materials or auxiliary materials, and through conveying equipment, process pipelines, containers and other equipment, various processing processes are formed to achieve the goal of converting from raw materials to products. In the production process, the cleanliness of various process media is crucial for equipment protection and continuous production. If the cleanliness does not meet the required precision, it will cause pump emptying, pipeline blockage, pressure drop increase and other problems, and if not handled in time, it may even cause unplanned shutdown, pump leakage, furnace tube rupture and other serious accidents, which will have a great impact on safety production. Therefore, how to ensure the cleanliness of the medium has become an important concern of the refining industry.

[0003] The feed plate heat exchanger is a key core equipment in the reforming industry, which is precise and expensive. It has the advantages of large heat exchange area and high efficiency, but it does not set a shut-off valve because the inlet and outlet pipe diameters are large, and the plates are densely arranged and cannot be cleaned regularly. Therefore, the cleanliness of the feed plate heat exchanger is very important for its service life.

[0004] To ensure the normal operation of the plate heat exchanger, a set of double basket filters is provided at the inlet, and a plurality of steel filter cartridges are vertically distributed on the internal support disc. The filter cartridge and the support disc are sealed by a rubber ring, and a pressure plate and a bolt are used for fastening, so that the filter cartridge does not loosen.

[0005] In the actual operation and maintenance process, it is found that this type of sealing has certain defects, and the specific circumstances are as follows: the round sealing strip of the filter cartridge will cause the pre-tightening force to decrease during installation; during installation of the filter cartridge to the support disc, the sealing strip is radially extruded due to the small gap, and the sealing strip is damaged when the stress is uneven, resulting in sealing failure; during installation of the pressure plate, the bolt torque value is increased to ensure that the pressure rib contacts each filter cartridge, causing uneven stress on the top of each filter cartridge, longitudinal extrusion of the round sealing strip, and increased probability of sealing failure.

[0006] After the filter cartridge sealing fails, the trace amount of mechanical impurities carried by the oil product will gather in the liquid distributor through the failure point, eventually causing the oil product to be unable to pass through, the device to be shut down, the downstream hydrogenation device to be forced to shut down, and huge economic losses, which does not meet the long-term operation target of the industry.
