[0019] Example 1
[0020] like Figure 1 The system shown reduces reboiler clogging and extends its service life includes: a distillation column 1 and a reboiler 2; the bottom of the distillation column 1 is connected to one end of a main pipe 3, and the other end of the main pipe 3 is connected to one end of a branch pipe 4 and a branch pipe 5. The other ends of both branch pipes 4 and 5 are connected to the liquid inlet of the reboiler 2, and each branch pipe is equipped with a control valve 6. A power pump 7 is installed on branch pipe 5, and the power pump 7 is located behind the control valve 6; the gas-liquid outlet of the reboiler 2 is connected to the middle of the distillation column 1 through a return pipe 8. The liquid inlet is located at the lower part of the reboiler 2, and the gas-liquid outlet is located at the upper part of the reboiler 2.
[0021] In this embodiment, rectifying tower 1 and reboiler 2 have two kinds of circulation connection. First, control valve 6 on branch pipe 1 4 is opened, control valve 6 on branch pipe 2 5 is closed, and the liquid at the bottom of rectifying tower 1 flows into reboiler 2 through main pipe 3 and branch pipe 1 4 in turn; reboiler 2 is provided with steam inlet and steam condensate outlet, and the liquid flowing into reboiler 2 is heated by steam to form gas-liquid mixture, which flows into rectifying tower 1 through liquid return pipe 8, and the gas flows upward through the tray, and the liquid drops back to the bottom; this circulation is suitable for the case that the liquid level in rectifying tower 1 is equal to or higher than the top height in reboiler 2, which ensures that reboiler 2 keeps full flow and avoids the phenomenon that the liquid level in reboiler 2 is low and the heating of the tubes is uneven. Second, control valve 6 on branch pipe 2 5 is opened, control valve 6 on branch pipe 1 4 is closed, and the liquid at the bottom of rectifying tower 1 flows into reboiler 2 through main pipe 3 and branch pipe 2 5 in turn; power pump 7 provides power to keep the liquid level in reboiler 2 always in full flow, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the tubes in reboiler 2 are unevenly heated, and at the same time, increasing the liquid circulation amount and improving the heat exchange efficiency, thereby prolonging the service life of reboiler 2; the liquid in reboiler 2 is heated by steam, and the gas-liquid mixture flows into rectifying tower 1 through liquid return pipe 8.
[0022] In order to observe the liquid level and temperature in reboiler 2, liquid level sensor 9 and thermometer 13 are arranged on reboiler 2. In addition, pressure gauge 14 and flow meter are arranged on liquid return pipe 8 to observe the gas-liquid mixture.
