Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a steam cooling recovery technical field, concretely is a kind of alcohol ether column overhead steam recovery structure when water circulation. BACKGROUND

[0002] Alcohol ether column is the key equipment for alcohol ether class material separation, purification in chemical production, and alcohol ether column is mainly based on rectification principle work.Different components in mixture have different volatility, under heating condition, volatile component (light component) is more easily converted from liquid phase to gas phase, and difficult volatile component (heavy component) is more retained in liquid phase.Through multiple gas-liquid equilibrium and mass transfer process, light component is gradually enriched at tower top, heavy component is gradually enriched at tower bottom, so as to realize the separation of alcohol ether mixture, usually water is used as circulating coolant, absorbs heat from steam system and discharges to atmosphere to reduce water temperature device;When collecting and condensing steam generated by cooling tower again, calcium and salt substances in steam adhere to the inner wall of pipeline, corrode the pipeline and reduce the service life of the pipeline.

[0003] Prior art such as publication number CN219607836U provides a descaling structure for cooling tower steam recovery, belonging to the technical field of cooling tower steam recovery cleaning, to solve the problem that calcium and salt substances in steam adhere to the inner wall of pipeline when collecting and condensing steam generated by cooling tower again, corrode the pipeline and reduce the service life of the pipeline.The second motor shell is rotated by the motor in the second motor shell, the threaded rod is moved by the threaded hole, the sliding block is moved by the connecting block and the sliding frame, the sliding frame is moved outside the second fixed shell, the support rod is moved by the sliding frame, the sliding frame is moved by the sliding frame, the sliding frame is moved in the second connecting pipe, the sliding frame is moved by the scraping wall ring, the scraping wall ring is scraped and cleaned on the inner wall of the second connecting pipe, so that there is no scale on the inner wall of the second connecting pipe, the scale does not corrode the inner wall of the second connecting pipe, and the service life of the second connecting pipe is increased.

[0004] This solution, through the installation of an exhaust assembly, a drive assembly, and a wall scraper assembly, achieves the goal of cleaning scale inside the second connecting pipe, preventing scale on the inner wall of the second connecting pipe from corroding it. This solves the problem of calcium and salt substances in the steam adhering to the inner wall of the pipe and corroding it, thus reducing the pipe's service life, during the collection and reuse of steam generated in the cooling tower. However, a large amount of steam is generated during the production process of the alcohol-ether tower. Scale mainly accumulates on the inner wall of the pipe due to calcium and salt substances carried by the liquefied steam during collection and reuse. This leads to concentrated scale accumulation in the main cooling section of the pipe. While the current solution uses a wall scraper assembly at the second connecting pipe before the steam enters the condenser for descaling, this is ineffective because it is not the main area of ​​steam liquefaction and scale formation, and it cannot clean the scale in the condenser area. Therefore, we propose a steam recovery structure at the top of the alcohol-ether tower during water circulation. Utility Model Content
