Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to synthetic ammonia technical field especially relates to a gas water separation device for synthetic ammonia. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of synthetic ammonia from natural gas, hydrogen is mainly prepared from natural gas, naphtha, heavy oil, coal, coke, coke oven gas and other raw materials, and in industry, these raw materials are first reacted with water vapor at high temperature to produce synthesis gas containing hydrogen, carbon monoxide and other components. The carbon monoxide in the synthesis gas can react with water vapor to produce hydrogen and carbon dioxide, so the synthesis gas contains carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and a small amount of water vapor in addition to hydrogen. The presence of water vapor will affect the subsequent reactions, such as the activity and life of the catalyst, so it is necessary to remove the water vapor through a gas-water separation device.

[0003] In the patent with application number CN202220303142.5, a gas-water separation device for separating synthetic ammonia raw gas from water is disclosed, which includes a separation tank. A central shaft is coaxially arranged inside the separation tank. The top end of the central shaft penetrates the top of the separation tank and is fixedly connected to the output end of a motor arranged at the top of the separation tank. Three funnels are sequentially arranged on the outside of the central shaft from top to bottom. The edges of the three funnels are arranged with gaps relative to the inner wall of the separation tank. A plurality of holes are vertically arranged at the center of the middle funnel. A first gas outlet pipe is connected to the top of the separation tank and communicates with a drying tank arranged at the top of the separation tank. An annular baffle ring is horizontally arranged inside the separation tank. The outer wall of the annular baffle ring abuts against the inner wall of the separation tank. The annular baffle ring is arranged between the middle funnel and the uppermost funnel, and abuts against the middle funnel. This device can ensure sufficient separation of synthetic ammonia raw gas from water vapor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] A gas-water separation device for synthesizing ammonia, such as Figure 1As shown, it comprises a separation tank 1, an air inlet pipe 2 and an air outlet pipe 3 arranged on the separation tank 1, a plurality of hollow cooling plates 4 arranged in the separation tank 1 in an up-down manner, a first hard water pipe 5 arranged at the top end of the uppermost cooling plate 4, a connecting rod 6 arranged between the centers of adjacent cooling plates 4, a second hard water pipe 7 arranged at the bottom end of the lowermost cooling plate 4, a plurality of third hard water pipes 8 arranged between adjacent cooling plates 4, a cooling liquid conveying assembly rotatably arranged between the first hard water pipe 5 and the second hard water pipe 7, and a driving assembly for driving the first hard water pipe 5 to rotate; the first hard water pipe 5, the connecting rod 6 and the second hard water pipe 7 are coaxial, and the first hard water pipe 5 and the second hard water pipe 7 are rotatably connected to the top wall and the bottom wall of the separation tank 1, respectively. Figure 1 As shown, the first hard water pipe 5, the second hard water pipe 7 and the third hard water pipe 8 and the plurality of cooling plates 4 are in communication with each other. The bottom end of the separation tank 1 is provided with support legs (prior art, not shown in the figure). In addition, a liquid discharge pipe (prior art, not shown in the figure) is arranged at the bottom end of the separation tank 1 to facilitate the collection of water after the water vapor is liquefied.

[0024] Further, as shown in Figure 1 The driving assembly comprises a driven wheel 11 arranged outside the first hard water pipe 5, a driving wheel 12 engaged with the driven wheel 11, and a motor 13 arranged above the separation tank 1 and having an output end fixedly connected to the driving wheel 12. Further, as shown in Figure 1 The top end of the separation tank 1 is provided with a support frame 15, and the motor 13 is arranged on the support frame 15. Further, as shown in Figure 1 The cooling liquid circulating assembly comprises a first water pipe 16 (hard water pipe) rotatably connected to the first hard water pipe 5, a cooler 17 (prior art) connected to the water inlet end of the first water pipe 16, a liquid storage tank 18 connected to the water inlet end of the cooler 17, and a second water pipe (hard water pipe) rotatably arranged at the bottom end of the second hard water pipe 7 and having a water outlet end connected to the liquid storage tank 18. A water pump (prior art, not shown in the figure) is arranged on the first water pipe 16 or the second water pipe, and a valve (prior art, not shown in the figure) is arranged on the first water pipe 16 and the second water pipe.

[0025] Further, as shown in Figure 1 The top end of the separation tank 1 is provided with a first fixing rod 19, and the first fixing rod 19 is fixedly connected to the first water pipe 16. Further, the bottom end of the separation tank 1 is provided with a second fixing rod 20, and the second fixing rod 20 is fixedly connected to the second water pipe.

[0026] Working principle: When the water pump is turned on, the synthesis gas is introduced into the separator 1 through the air inlet pipe 2. The coolant in the storage tank 18 is sequentially transported through the cooler 17 and the first water pipe 16 to the first hard water pipe 5, and then along the first hard water pipe 5 to the uppermost cooling plate 4. It is then transported along multiple third hard water pipes 8 to other cooling plates 4, and finally discharged into the storage tank 18 through the second hard water pipe 7. This achieves the purpose of replacing and circulating the coolant in the cooling plates 4, thereby ensuring the effective liquefaction of water vapor for a long time.

[0027] After water vapor liquefies, it forms water droplets on the surface of the cooling plate 4. In order to make these water droplets fall quickly for collection, the motor 13 is started. Under the action of the motor 13, the driving wheel 12 drives the driven wheel 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the first rigid water pipe 5 to rotate. This causes the connecting rod 6, multiple cooling plates 4, second rigid water pipe 7 and other components to rotate synchronously with the first rigid water pipe 5. As a result, the water on the surface of the multiple cooling plates 4 falls quickly under the action of centrifugal force, thus collecting the water.

[0028] It is worth noting that bearings (existing technology, not shown in the figure) are provided at the rotating contact points of the first hard water pipe 5, the second hard water pipe 7, and the separation box 1.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] Based on Example 1, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, three cooling plates 4 are provided. An annular blocking plate 9, capable of contacting the middle cooling plate 4, is slidably disposed inside the separation box 1. The top end of the annular blocking plate 9 is fixedly connected to a hydraulic rod 14 located at the top of the separation box 1. Multiple holes 10 are provided in the center of the middle cooling plate 4. The edges of the remaining cooling plates 4 are spaced apart from the inner wall of the separation box 1. Further, as... Figure 2 As shown, the center of the cooling plate 4 is higher than the edge, and it can be set in the shape of a bowl or a cone, which can increase the spontaneous downward flow velocity and centrifugal downward flow velocity of water droplets; the inner wall of the annular block plate 9 is lower than the outer wall to reduce the accumulation of water on the surface of the annular block plate 9.

[0031] In practice, the syngas is first cooled by the lowest cooling plate 4, then expands upwards along the edge of the lowest cooling plate 4, diffuses upwards through the hole 10 in the middle of the second cooling plate 4, and then expands upwards along the edge of the highest cooling plate 4. This increases the diffusion time of the syngas among the three cooling plates 4, thereby improving the cooling effect. During this process, the forming plate comes into contact with the middle cooling plate 4.

[0032] When the cooling plate 4 is rotated, the hydraulic rod 14 needs to be retracted to move the annular blocking plate 9 upward, ensuring that the water droplets can flow smoothly down the edge of the cooling plate 4.
