Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of chemical gas production equipment, specifically to an isothermal dehydrocarbon generator for chemical gas production. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of chemical gases, dehydrocarbonization is a crucial step. The purpose of dehydrocarbonization is to remove hydrocarbons from chemical gases, thereby improving their purity and quality. Traditional dehydrocarbonization methods typically employ heating reactions, but this method suffers from uneven reaction temperatures and is prone to localized overheating, leading to catalyst deactivation and low reaction efficiency. Furthermore, traditional dehydrocarbonization equipment lacks effective temperature control, making it difficult to ensure the reaction proceeds under isothermal conditions, thus affecting the dehydrocarbonization effect and the quality of the chemical gases. Therefore, there is a need to develop a device capable of achieving isothermal dehydrocarbonization reactions to improve dehydrocarbonization efficiency and the quality of chemical gases.
[0003] The existing equipment has the following shortcomings: Firstly, the existing equipment uses a heating method for reaction temperature control, which cannot guarantee uniform temperature, easily leading to localized overheating. This results in catalyst deactivation, shortened lifespan, and reduced reaction efficiency. Furthermore, the lack of an effective temperature control system makes it difficult to achieve isothermal reactions, affecting dehydrogenation efficiency and gas quality. Secondly, regarding reaction process optimization, the existing equipment lacks a flow regulating valve in the inlet pipeline, preventing precise control of gas flow and resulting in insufficient contact between the gas and catalyst, affecting reaction conversion and selectivity. Thirdly, the catalyst bed does not use multi-layer packing with a gas distribution plate, leading to uneven gas distribution and reduced reaction efficiency. Finally, in terms of performance assurance, the existing equipment has poor insulation on the inner wall of the reaction tank, resulting in significant heat loss, high energy consumption, and difficulty in maintaining a stable temperature. The outlet pipeline lacks a gas analysis device, making timely parameter adjustments difficult. The absence of a drain port at the bottom of the tank prevents timely removal of impurities, affecting tank cleanliness and reaction progress. Utility Model Content

[0021] The utility model will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 An isothermal dehydrocarbonization generating device for chemical gas production according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a reaction tank 1, which is a sealed structure. An inlet pipe 2 is installed on the bottom side of the reaction tank 1, and an outlet pipe 3 is installed at the center of the top of the reaction tank 1. A catalyst bed 4 is arranged inside the reaction tank 1 and is located between the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3. Cooling coils 5 cover both the upper and lower ends of the catalyst bed 4. Multiple temperature sensors 6 are installed inside the catalyst bed 4.
[0023] The reaction vessel 1 provides a sealed reaction space, housing other components for the dehydrocarbonization reaction of chemical gases. The inlet pipe 2 delivers the chemical gases into the reaction vessel 1. The outlet pipe 3 discharges the dehydrocarbonized chemical gases. The catalyst bed 4 is where the dehydrocarbonization reaction of the chemical gases takes place. The cooling coil 5 removes heat from the reaction through coolant circulation, controlling the bed temperature. Temperature sensors 6 precisely monitor the temperature at different locations, providing data for temperature control.
[0024] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the reaction vessel 1 is provided with a heat insulation layer 7, which is made of a material that is resistant to high temperature and has good heat insulation performance in order to reduce heat loss.
[0025] In this embodiment, a flow regulating valve 8 is provided on the gas inlet pipe 2 to regulate the flow rate of the chemical gas entering the reaction tank 1, and a gas analysis device 9 is provided on the gas outlet pipe 3 to analyze the composition and content of the chemical gas after dehydrocarbonization. A drain port 17 is provided at the bottom of the reaction tank 1 to discharge the liquid generated during the reaction process.
[0026] In this embodiment, the upper cooling coil 5 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 10, which is connected to the output end of the circulation pump 11. The circulation pump 11 is fixed on the top of the coolant storage tank 12 and connected to it through a pipe. The lower cooling coil 5 is connected to the coolant storage tank 12 through the liquid outlet pipe 13.
[0027] The inlet pipe 10 delivers coolant into the cooling coil 5. The circulation pump 11 provides power for coolant circulation. The coolant storage tank 12 stores coolant, providing a coolant source for the cooling system. The outlet pipe 13 allows the coolant to flow back to the storage tank.
[0028] In this embodiment, a controller 14 is installed on the outside of the reaction vessel 1, and the controller 14 is electrically connected to the circulation pump 11 and the temperature sensor 6.
[0029] The controller 14 is electrically connected to the circulating pump 11 and the temperature sensor 6, and intelligently adjusts the circulating pump based on temperature feedback.
[0030] In this embodiment, the catalyst bed 4 is composed of multiple layers of catalyst packing 15, and a gas distribution plate 16 is provided between each layer of catalyst packing 15 to ensure that the chemical gas is evenly distributed in the catalyst bed 4.
[0031] The catalyst packing 15 provides the catalytically active centers required for the reaction. The gas distribution plate 16 ensures that the chemical gases are uniformly distributed within the catalyst bed 4.
[0032] In practical applications, firstly, an appropriate amount of coolant is injected into the coolant storage tank 12 to provide a coolant source for the cooling system. Then, the controller 14 is turned on to ensure it can receive data from the temperature sensor 6 and control the circulating pump 11. The flow regulating valve 8 on the inlet pipe 2 is opened to precisely adjust the flow rate of the chemical gas entering the reaction tank 1 according to the actual reaction requirements and catalyst performance. The chemical gas enters the reaction tank 1 through the inlet pipe 2 and undergoes a dehydrocarbonization reaction in the catalyst bed 4, aided by the catalytic active centers provided by the catalyst packing 15. The gas distribution plate 16 between each layer of catalyst packing 15 ensures uniform dispersion of the chemical gas, improving reaction efficiency. Multiple temperature sensors 6 inside the catalyst bed 4 monitor the temperature at different locations in real time and transmit the data to the controller 14. When an abnormal temperature is detected, the controller 14 adjusts the operating status of the circulating pump 11 based on the received temperature feedback information. The circulating pump 11 provides power for the circulation of coolant, allowing coolant to flow from the coolant storage tank 12 through the inlet pipe 10 into the upper cooling coil 5. The coolant circulation carries away the heat generated by the reaction, and then the coolant flows back from the lower cooling coil 5 through the outlet pipe 13 to the coolant storage tank 12. This uniformly controls the bed temperature, avoids local overheating, and ensures the reaction proceeds stably under isothermal conditions. The dehydrogenated chemical gas is discharged through the outlet pipe 3. The gas analysis device 9 on the outlet pipe 3 analyzes the composition and content of the dehydrogenated chemical gas in real time, allowing operators to understand the reaction effect and adjust reaction parameters based on the analysis results. After the reaction is completed, the flow regulating valve 8 on the inlet pipe 2 is closed to stop the input of chemical gas. The circulating pump 11 is turned off, stopping the coolant circulation. The controller 14 and the gas analysis device 9 are then shut down, completing the entire dehydrogenation reaction process.
