Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of recovery cooling technology for distillation columns, and in particular to a recovery cooling device for distillation columns. Background Technology
[0002] A distillation column is a tower-type vapor-liquid contact device used for distillation. It utilizes the different volatility of components in a chemical mixture to achieve gas-liquid phase separation. Specifically, it separates components by leveraging the difference in vapor pressure at the same temperature, causing lighter components in the liquid phase to transfer to the gas phase, and heavier components in the gas phase to transfer to the liquid phase. Distillation columns are also widely used mass and heat transfer devices in petrochemical production. During operation, the distillation products need to be cooled and recovered. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN217988393U describes a recovery cooling device for a distillation column. This device uses cooling water from a cooling water tank to spray and cool the distillation column body, lowering its temperature. Furthermore, a cooling fan on one side of the cooling water tank further reduces the temperature within the tank, resulting in even better cooling.
[0003] Some problems still exist in the use of this device. The water in the cooling water tank is not renewed during use. Only the cooling fan is used to cool the water tank. However, water has a high specific heat capacity, so the efficiency of using the fan to cool the water is low. It is difficult to reduce the water temperature in the tank to the required temperature, which affects the cooling effect of the device. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a recovery and cooling device for a distillation column, characterized by comprising an outer shell structure, an inner shell structure, and a material receiving structure, wherein the inner shell structure is disposed inside the outer shell structure, and the material receiving structure is disposed outside the outer shell structure.
[0005] The external shell structure consists of an outer shell, an inlet pipe, an inlet valve, an outlet pipe, and an outlet valve. An inlet pipe with an inlet valve is installed on the upper side of one side of the outer shell, and an outlet pipe with an outlet valve is installed on the lower side of one side of the outer shell.
[0006] The receiving structure consists of an inlet pipe, an inlet valve, an outlet pipe, an outlet valve, and a receiving box. The inlet pipe is installed through an opening on the top of the outer casing, and an inlet valve is installed on the inlet pipe. An outlet pipe is installed through an opening on one side of the outer casing, and an outlet valve is installed on the outlet pipe. One end of the outlet pipe is connected to the receiving box.
[0007] The internal shell structure consists of an inner chamber, a feed inlet, a discharge outlet, a water inlet trough A, a water inlet trough B, a water inlet trough C, and a cooling chamber. The inner chamber is installed inside the outer shell. A feed inlet is opened at the top of the inner chamber, through which a feed pipe passes. A discharge outlet is opened at the bottom of the inner chamber, through which a discharge pipe passes. A water inlet trough A is set on one side of the inner chamber, and a water inlet trough B is set below it. A water inlet trough C is set on the other side of the inner chamber. The interior of the inner chamber is the cooling chamber.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0009] This invention relates to a recovery and cooling device for a distillation column. When the feed valve is opened, the distillation product flows through the feed pipe into the cooling chamber via the outer shell and inner chamber. When the water inlet pipe is opened, cooling water flows into the inner shell and fills three water inlet tanks located outside the inner chamber. The cooling water cools the distillation product inside the cooling chamber. Opening the outlet valve releases the cooled water, which has now reached a higher temperature inside the outer shell, through the outlet pipe. New cooling water then flows into the inner shell through the inlet pipe. After cooling is complete, opening the discharge valve allows the distillation product to flow into a collection box, thus completing the cooling recovery process. The cooling water used in this device is replaceable; as the temperature of the cooling water increases, it can be replaced with new, lower-temperature cooling water. Simultaneously, the increased contact area between the cooling water and the distillation product results in higher cooling efficiency. Attached Figure Description
