Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of production capacity of hydrogen fluoride evaporation systems, and specifically to a hydrogen fluoride evaporation device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the main equipment in my country's hydrogen fluoride heating, evaporation, and feeding systems is the jacketed hydrogen fluoride evaporator. Because the amount of hydrogen fluoride stored in these evaporators is relatively large, a leak could cause widespread diffusion, resulting in a significant hazard to personnel and the environment. Furthermore, with the continuous and stable operation of the main process, the current production capacity of the hydrogen fluoride evaporation system is no longer sufficient to match the capacity and demands of the main process production line.

[0003] Furthermore, due to the large volume of the hydrogen fluoride evaporator, the jacketed heating method cannot effectively and promptly control the pressure and evaporation rate of the hydrogen fluoride inside the tank. During the heating and evaporation process, the tank body is susceptible to corrosion due to temperature and the presence of the hydrogen fluoride medium, resulting in a high operational risk. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a hydrogen fluoride evaporation device. This utility model offers a safer and more efficient way to improve the evaporation and supply capacity of hydrogen fluoride, while meeting existing process requirements, reducing hydrogen fluoride storage, lowering steam consumption, improving production efficiency, and reducing safety risk levels.

Then, steam enters from the steam inlet, passes through the upper tube box of the tube side, enters the heat exchange tubes, and then enters the lower tube box of the tube side to heat and evaporate the hydrogen fluoride in the saturated evaporation section, causing the hydrogen fluoride to vaporize. The vaporized hydrogen fluoride enters the shell-side superheated section from the saturated evaporation section, where it is heated to a certain pressure and temperature. The shell-side superheated section is equipped with a hydrogen fluoride gas outlet at its top, from which the evaporated hydrogen fluoride gas is discharged, thus realizing the evaporation process of hydrogen fluoride.
