Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical equipment technology, specifically to an ammonia stripping tower for chemical engineering. Background Technology
[0002] An ammonia stripping tower is a device used to separate ammonia gas and water from ammonia water. Its main working principle is based on the difference in relative volatility between ammonia and water, which is used to separate them within the tower. Specifically, ammonia water enters the stripping tower after passing through a preheater. Inside the tower, ammonia gas, due to its higher volatility, rises to the top, while the water remains at the bottom. The ammonia gas at the top enters a condenser for gas-water separation, resulting in ammonia gas with high purity, typically exceeding 95%.
[0003] The packing layer of existing ammonia stripping towers is mostly an integral structure. Replacement or cleaning requires shutdown and disassembly of the tower body, resulting in long maintenance cycles and high costs. Furthermore, after long-term operation, crystals or deposits are easily attached to the inner wall of the ammonia stripping tower, reducing heat transfer efficiency and requiring frequent chemical cleaning, which affects continuous production.

A support base 4 and a connecting base 11 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ammonia stripping tower body 1. A liquid distributor 3 and a fan-shaped packing layer 5 are provided in the inner cavity of the ammonia stripping tower body 1. A fixed shell 10 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the ammonia stripping tower body 1. A first gear 12 is provided inside the connecting base 11. A motor 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner surface of the fixed shell 10. A rotating shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 14. A second gear 16 is fixedly connected to the top end of the rotating shaft 15. A scraper 17 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the first gear 12. The outer surface of the scraper 17 is in contact with the inner wall of the ammonia stripping tower body 1.
[0023] Specifically, a feed pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the ammonia stripping tower body 1, and the end of the feed pipe 2 is connected to the liquid distributor 3.
[0024] Specifically, a gas discharge pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the ammonia stripping tower body 1, and a liquid discharge pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ammonia stripping tower body 1.
[0025] Specifically, the liquid distributor 3 is positioned above the fan-shaped packing layer 5, and the support base 4 is positioned at the intervals of the fan-shaped packing layer 5.
[0026] Specifically, an installation plate 6 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fan-shaped packing layer 5, and an installation screw 7 is provided on the outer surface of the installation plate 6. The installation plate 6 is connected to the outer surface of the ammonia stripping tower body 1 through the installation screw 7.

The outer surface of the first gear 12 meshes with the outer surface of the second gear 16.
[0028] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above embodiments.
[0029] In operation, the liquid enters the liquid distributor 3 from the feed pipe 2 and is evenly sprayed onto the surface of the fan-shaped packing layer 5. The gas phase rises from the reboiler at the bottom of the tower and comes into countercurrent contact with the liquid phase on the packing surface to achieve ammonia separation. The separated ammonia vapor enters the condensation system through the gas phase outlet pipe 9 at the top of the tower and is condensed and recovered as liquid ammonia. The residual waste liquid is discharged from the liquid phase outlet pipe 8 at the bottom of the tower. The packing layer consists of multiple fan-shaped packing layers 5. Each fan-shaped packing layer 5 is fixedly installed in the tower body 1 of the ammonia stripping tower by the mounting plate 6 and the mounting screws 7. A gap is reserved between multiple fan-shaped packing layers 5, and a support seat 4 is set at the gap to provide support for the fan-shaped packing layer 5 to enhance stability and facilitate installation. The motor 14 drives the rotating shaft 15 to rotate. The second gear 16 at the top of the rotating shaft 15 meshes with the first gear 12, driving the first gear 12 to rotate in the connecting seat 11. The scraper 17 is fixed on the lower surface of the first gear 12. When the first gear 12 rotates, the scraper 17 rotates along the inner wall of the tower body 1 of the ammonia stripping tower to scrape off the crystals or deposits attached to the wall surface.
