Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of petrochemical technology, and in particular to a spiral plate heat exchanger heat exchange system for a slurry bed device. Background Technology

[0002] Slurry-bed residue hydrocracking is an important process for treating heavy oil, converting it into lighter, higher-quality oil products. It features strong feedstock adaptability, high conversion rate, high light oil yield, simple process, flexible operation, and a simple reactor structure. Slurry-bed residue hydrocracking technology has almost no limitations on feedstock properties, achieving liquid product yields of over 90%. The slurry-bed reactor uses both nano-particle and oil-soluble catalysts, both dispersed and suspended in the reactor, undergoing hydropyrolysis of the residue under high temperature and pressure. In this process, the spiral plate heat exchanger is a crucial piece of equipment in the slurry-bed residue hydrocracking unit. Due to the high temperature, high pressure, and corrosive media during operation, leaks are prone to occur. The proper functioning of the spiral plate heat exchanger is critical to the efficiency and stability of the entire process. Spiral plate heat exchangers are used for heat exchange and generate a large amount of steam. Their water-side circulation usually relies on natural circulation. However, the traditional natural circulation method cannot achieve a stable heat exchange effect over a long period under normal operating conditions. Internal leakage usually occurs after about a few months of operation. Natural circulation causes insufficient water flow velocity during water-side siphoning of the heat exchanger, resulting in steam resistance during the heat exchange process. Due to long-term steam resistance, fluctuations in operating conditions, and other reasons, internal leakage problems occur in spiral plate heat exchangers. This not only reduces the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger but may also lead to safety hazards, increase the frequency of inspection and leak plugging, and increase maintenance costs.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a spiral plate heat exchanger system for slurry bed devices to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0025] To make the technical means, technical features, utility model purpose and technical effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to specific illustrations.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a spiral plate heat exchanger system for a slurry bed device includes a steam drum 1, a circulating pump 2, a heat exchanger 3, a feed water pipeline 4, a pump inlet pipeline 5, a heat exchanger hot water side inlet pipeline 6, a heat exchanger hot water side outlet pipeline 7, a heat exchanger oil inlet pipeline 8, and a heat exchanger oil return pipeline 9. The feed water pipeline 4 is connected to the steam drum 1 and is used to supply deoxygenated water to the steam drum 1. The inlet of the circulating pump 2 is connected to the steam drum 1 through the pump inlet pipeline 5, and the outlet of the circulating pump 2 is connected through the heat exchanger hot water side inlet pipeline 9. Line 6 is connected to heat exchanger 3. The circulating pump 2 has the characteristics of high pressure resistance, high temperature resistance, and stable operation, and can adapt well to the harsh working environment of the slurry bed residue oil hydrogenation unit. It is connected between heat exchanger 3 and steam generator drum 1 through hot water outlet pipeline 7. Heat exchanger 3 adopts spiral plate heat exchanger 3, which has a compact structure, good heat transfer efficiency, high operating stability, and self-cleaning effect, and is not easy to scale. Heat exchange oil inlet pipeline 8 and heat exchange oil return pipeline 9 are connected to heat exchanger 3 to realize the circulation of heat transfer oil.

[0027] There are two circulating pumps 2 and two heat exchangers 3. The two circulating pumps 2 and two heat exchangers 3 are divided into two groups, each group consisting of one circulating pump 2 and one heat exchanger 3 connected in series. The two groups of circulating pumps 2 and heat exchangers 3 are connected in parallel to the steam generator drum 1, serving as redundant backups for each other. They can work simultaneously or independently. If one group of circulating pumps 2 and heat exchangers 3 fails and stops, the other can still ensure the normal operation of the system.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, deoxygenated water is introduced into the steam generator drum 1 through the water supply pipeline 4. A water supply regulating valve 23 is installed on the water supply pipeline 4. By opening the water supply regulating valve 23, deoxygenated water is introduced into the steam generator drum 1, and the pressure and flow rate of the deoxygenated water input can be regulated.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the pump inlet pipeline 5 is connected between the steam generator drum 1 and the inlet of the circulating pump 2. The circulating pump 2 extracts deoxygenated water from the steam generator drum 1 through the pump inlet pipeline 5, pressurizes it, and then delivers it to the heat exchanger 3 through the heat exchanger side inlet pipeline 6. The heat exchanger side inlet pipeline 6 is equipped with a pump outlet flow meter 10, a pump outlet pressure sensor 11, and a pump outlet pressure gauge 12 in sequence. The pump outlet flow meter 10 is used to monitor the outlet flow of the circulating pump 2, the pump outlet pressure sensor 11 is used to realize the remote control of the outlet pressure of the circulating pump 2, and the pump outlet pressure gauge 12 is used to realize the on-site observation of the outlet pressure of the circulating pump 2. By monitoring the flow and pressure of the circulating pump 2, the speed of the circulating pump 2 can be adjusted in real time.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the pressurized deoxygenated water enters the heat exchanger 3 through the inlet pipeline 6 on the hot water side. Inside the heat exchanger 3, it exchanges heat with the high-temperature heat transfer oil and is heated. The high-temperature heat transfer oil circulates through the heat exchange oil inlet pipeline 8 and the heat exchange oil return pipeline 9. The heated deoxygenated water flows back to the steam generator drum 1 through the outlet pipeline 7 on the hot water side. A heat exchange outlet flow meter 13, a heat exchange outlet temperature sensor 14, a heat exchange outlet regulating valve 15, and a heat exchange outlet thermometer 16 are installed sequentially on the outlet pipeline 7 on the hot water side. The heat exchange outlet flow meter 13 and the heat exchange outlet temperature sensor 14 are used to remotely monitor the water temperature and flow rate at the outlet of the heat exchanger 3 in real time to evaluate the heat exchange effect. The flow meter 13 and the heat exchange outlet temperature sensor 14 are used to regulate the flow rate and temperature at the outlet of the heat exchanger 3. The heat exchange outlet regulating valve 15 is used to regulate the flow rate and temperature. The heat exchange outlet thermometer 16 is used to facilitate on-site monitoring of the outlet temperature of the heat exchanger 3.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, high-temperature and high-pressure deoxygenated water and steam enter the steam generator drum 1 together. Gas-liquid separation occurs inside the steam generator drum 1, and steam at a certain pressure is flashed out. A steam discharge pipeline 17 is connected to the top of the steam generator drum 1, and a pressure control regulating valve 18 is installed on the steam discharge pipeline 17. The flashed steam is discharged externally through the steam discharge pipeline 17 and the pressure control regulating valve 18. A steam level sensor 19, a steam pressure sensor 20, and a level gauge 21 are also installed on the steam generator drum 1. The steam level sensor 19 and the steam pressure sensor 20 enable remote monitoring and control of the liquid level and pressure inside the steam generator drum 1, and the level gauge 21 facilitates on-site observation of the liquid level inside the steam generator drum 1.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a heat exchange system for a spiral plate heat exchanger 3 in a slurry bed device also includes a control system 22. The circulating pump 2, pump outlet flow meter 10, pump outlet pressure sensor 11, heat exchange outlet flow meter 13, heat exchange outlet temperature sensor 14, steam level sensor 19, and steam pressure sensor 20 are all electrically connected to the control system 22. The control system 22 realizes remote control of speed, flow rate, pressure, temperature, and liquid level to achieve precise control and operation monitoring of the circulating pump 2, and to adjust the heat exchange effect and operating parameters of the heat exchanger 3 to ensure that the expected forced circulation effect is achieved.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0034] In use, open the water supply regulating valve 23 to input deoxygenated water into the steam generator drum 1 through the water supply pipeline 4, start the circulation pump 2 to achieve forced circulation and pressurization of the deoxygenated water, and the pressurized deoxygenated water enters the heat exchanger 3. After heat exchange with the high-temperature heat transfer oil flowing through the heat exchanger 3, the high-temperature and high-pressure deoxygenated water and steam return to the steam generator drum 1 together, where gas-liquid separation takes place. The steam generated by flash evaporation is transported out through the steam discharge pipeline 17 at the top of the steam generator drum 1. The unvaporized deoxygenated water and the newly added deoxygenated water are separated. The water continues to be pressurized by the circulating pump 2 and enters the water side of the heat exchanger 3, thus completing the working process cycle. During the process cycle, the operation of the circulating pump 2 is monitored and adjusted in real time by the control system 22. By setting the flow rate and pressure of the circulating pump 2, the heat exchange requirements of the heat exchanger 3 under different operating conditions are met, ensuring stable circulation on the water side of the heat exchanger 3. The temperature of the outlet pipeline of the heat exchanger 3 is monitored in real time to evaluate the heat exchange effect. Based on the heat exchange effect and the demand for flash steam, the operating parameters of the circulating pump 2 are adjusted to optimize the heat exchange efficiency and achieve closed-loop control.
