Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ethylene cracking equipment, and in particular to a quench heat exchanger. Background Technology
[0002] Besides the cracking furnace, another important piece of equipment in the cracking unit is the quench heat exchanger, which is a critical piece of equipment with very high process requirements in the ethylene cracking furnace. It is required to rapidly cool the high-temperature cracked gas in a very short time to prevent secondary reactions, reduce the loss of the target olefins, and recover high-grade heat energy.
[0003] Currently, quench heat exchangers typically employ a vertical shell-and-tube design, separating the tube side and shell side using upper and lower tube sheets. The tube side medium is high-temperature pyrolysis gas, while the shell side medium is cooling water. The typical workflow is as follows: high-temperature pyrolysis gas enters the heat exchange tubes through the inlet end cap; cooling water from the high-pressure steam drum enters the shell-side space formed by the boiler feedwater pipe for heat exchange; the quenched pyrolysis gas enters the outlet end cap and exits the quench heat exchanger, while the cooling water, after heat exchange, exits the quench heat exchanger as a water-vapor mixture through the water-vapor outlet pipe. During operation, due to the complex structure of the top and bottom shell side, dirt easily accumulates at the bottom of the shell side (top surface of the lower tube sheet), which is difficult to drain, potentially leading to corrosion and damage to the quench heat exchanger. Conversely, water vapor easily accumulates at the top of the shell side (bottom surface of the upper tube sheet), creating a flow dead zone, affecting the heat exchange efficiency and safety of the quench heat exchanger.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a quenching heat exchanger to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
