AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing condensers, the direct contact between cold water and gas during cooling causes the liquefied gas to mix with the cooling water, making it inconvenient to remove the distillate.

Method used

A condenser comprising a condensing component, a monitoring component, and a filter screen is designed. The coolant inside the condensing tube carries away the gas temperature. After the gas is liquefied, it enters the return tank through the drain pipe to avoid direct contact with the coolant. The monitoring component is set up to release pressure in a timely manner, and the filter screen removes impurities to ensure the purity of the liquid.

Benefits of technology

This system ensures that the coolant does not mix with the cooling water after gas liquefaction, improving liquid purity, facilitating collection and reflux, and allowing the monitoring components to release pressure in a timely manner to prevent excessive pressure and ensure safety.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of condenser technology, and more specifically, to a condenser for separating petroleum-mixed xylene. Background Technology

[0002] Mixed xylenes contain four isomers: p-xylene, m-xylene, o-xylene, and ethylbenzene. Based on the different volatility of these four isomers, distillation is commonly used industrially to separate o-xylene. However, existing distillation columns are inefficient at separating o-xylene, and cleaning the trays is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, there is a need to design a xylene separation device that is both highly efficient and easy to clean.

[0003] Patent document publication number CN214181850U describes a high-efficiency separation device for mixed xylene in petroleum, comprising a plate distillation column, a condenser, and a reboiler. The plate distillation column includes an outer shell and annular and circular plates arranged at intervals on the inner side of the outer shell. The outer edge of the annular plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell, and the center of the annular plate has a vertically penetrating channel. A liquid-passing gap is left between the outer edge of the circular plate and the outer shell. A central shaft is also provided inside the outer shell. The central shaft passes through the channel in the center of each annular plate and leaves a liquid-passing gap between the annular plate and the circular plate. The central shaft passes through the center of each circular plate and is sealed and fixedly connected to the circular plate, so that the circular plate can move down with the central shaft. At least one radial cleaning strip is provided under each plate.

[0004] However, it still has some drawbacks in actual use. For example, the condenser used in the separation device usually sends cold water into direct contact with the gas for cooling. However, the gas cooled in this way is easy to mix with the cooling water after liquefaction, which makes it inconvenient to take out the distillate.

[0005] Therefore, a condenser for separating petroleum-mixed xylene was proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a condenser for separating petroleum mixed xylene, so as to solve the problem that the condenser used in the prior art separation device usually sends cold water to directly contact the gas for cooling, but the gas cooled in this way is easy to mix with the cooling water after liquefaction.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a condenser for separating petroleum-mixed xylene, comprising...

[0008] Distillation column body;

[0009] An exhaust pipe, one end of which is fixedly connected to the top of the main body of the distillation column;

[0010] A condenser assembly, the interior of which is fixedly connected to the end of the exhaust pipe away from the main body of the distillation column;

[0011] A drain pipe, the top end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the condensation assembly;

[0012] A reflux tank, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom end of a drain pipe;

[0013] The condensation assembly includes a condensation box, a liquefaction hopper, a condenser tube, and a water inlet valve. The side of the condensation box is fixedly connected to the end of the exhaust pipe away from the main body of the distillation column. The liquefaction hopper is fixedly installed at the bottom of the condensation box. The condenser tube is located inside the condensation box, and its two ends are fixedly connected to the top and side of the condensation box. The water inlet valve is installed near the top of the condenser tube.

[0014] It also includes a monitoring component, which is located on top of the condensation component.

[0015] The monitoring components include a control terminal, a pressure sensor, an alarm, a pressure relief pipe, and an electronic valve. The control terminal is fixedly installed on the top of the condenser box, the pressure sensor is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the condenser box and is electrically connected to the control terminal, the bottom of the alarm is fixedly connected to the top of the condenser box and is electrically connected to the control terminal, the bottom end of the pressure relief pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the condenser box, and the electronic valve is fixedly installed in the middle of the pressure relief pipe and is electrically connected to the control terminal.

[0016] It also includes a filter screen, which is installed inside the drain pipe and is used to filter out impurities inside after the gas is liquefied.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] In the above scheme, a distillation column body, an exhaust pipe, a condenser assembly, a drain pipe, and a reflux tank are provided. After the gas enters the condenser from the exhaust pipe, the water inlet valve is opened to allow the coolant to flow into the condenser. As the coolant flows through the condenser, it carries away the temperature of the gas, thereby cooling and liquefying the gas. The liquid then flows from the liquefaction hopper into the drain pipe and finally into the reflux tank. Through the above structure, the coolant does not come into direct contact with the gas, so the liquefied liquid will not mix with the coolant, ensuring the purity of the liquid and facilitating collection and reflux.

[0019] The system is equipped with a monitoring component. A pressure sensor monitors the pressure inside the condenser in real time and sends the signal to the control terminal. When the gas pressure is too high, the control terminal activates the alarm and simultaneously opens the electronic valve to release pressure through the pressure relief pipe. Through this structure, the system can promptly alert staff when the pressure is too high and begin pressure relief to avoid accidents caused by excessive pressure. Attached Figure Description
