[0002] Diisopropylamine is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H15N and a molecular weight of approximately 101.19. It is usually a colorless, volatile liquid with an ammonia odor; its relative density is 0.72 (20℃), freezing point is -96.3℃, boiling point is 83~84℃, flash point is -1.1℃ (open cup), autoignition point is 402.2℃, and refractive index is 1.3924; it is slightly soluble in water and soluble in organic solvents.
[0003] In the production process of atorvastatin calcium intermediate A8, diisopropylamine vapor is obtained through a distillation column. In order to recover diisopropylamine, it is generally condensed by a condenser. Currently, the condensers used for diisopropylamine recovery generally adopt a coil structure. The coil path is relatively short, which affects the condensation effect. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an improved technology to solve this problem in the existing technology.

The upper cover 3 is located at the top of the tank 1, and the lower cover 2 is located at the bottom of the tank 1. The upper cover 3 has a cooling medium inlet 9, and a cooling medium outlet 10 is located on one side of the lower part of the tank 1. The cooling medium inlet 9 and the cooling medium outlet 10 are used for the entry and exit of the cooling medium, respectively. A steam inlet 11 is located on one side of the upper part of the tank 1, for the entry of diisopropylamine vapor after distillation. A material outlet 12 is located on the lower surface of the lower cover 2 for the discharge of liquid material after the diisopropylamine vapor condenses. Several heat exchange plates 4 are arranged inside the tank 1, and adjacent heat exchange plates 4 are connected by several support rods 6 and a connecting pipe 5. The heat exchange plates 4 are all hollow, and the hollow structure is used to achieve cooling medium... The heat exchanger 4 flows inside the heat exchanger plate 4. Two adjacent heat exchanger plates 4 are connected to each other by connecting pipes 5. Two adjacent connecting pipes 5 in the height direction are alternately arranged on the left and right. The heat exchanger plate 4 has flow channels 13 opened along the axial direction. The flow channels 13 opened by two adjacent heat exchanger plates 4 are staggered to improve the movement path of diisopropylamine vapor, thereby ensuring the heat exchange effect with the cooling medium. A straight pipe 7 is set at the center of the heat exchanger plate 4 at the top. The top end of the straight pipe 7 is inserted and welded to the cooling medium inlet 9. A bent pipe 8 is set at the center of the heat exchanger plate 4 at the bottom. The outer end of the bent pipe 8 is welded to the cooling medium outlet 10. A support ring 14 is set on the inner wall of the lower part of the tank body 1. The bottom heat exchanger plate 4 is supported on the upper surface of the support ring 14. The support ring 14 is used to support the heat exchanger plate 4. Several support seats 15 are set on the outer surface of the tank body 1 to realize the installation and fixation of the tank body 1.
[0018] Processing method and operating principle: First, connect two heat exchange plates 4 together with several support rods 6 and a connecting pipe 5. Adjacent heat exchange plates 4 are interconnected through the connecting pipe 5, and the upper and lower adjacent connecting pipes 5 are arranged alternately left and right to improve the path of the cooling medium. Simultaneously, the flow channels 13 of adjacent heat exchange plates 4 are located on the left and right sides of the axis, similarly improving the flow path of diisopropylamine vapor and thus enhancing the heat exchange effect. Next, insert the assembled heat exchange plate 4 assembly into the tank body 1, with the bottom heat exchange plate 4 supported on the support ring 14. Then, weld the straight pipe 7 to the center of the top heat exchange plate 4, weld the bent pipe 8 to the center of the bottom heat exchange plate 4, and weld the outer end of the bent pipe 8 to the cooling medium outlet 10. Connect and weld the lower cover 2 to the bottom of the tank body 1, connect the upper cover 3 to the top of the tank body 1, and allow the straight pipe 7 to pass through the cooling medium inlet 9. Simultaneously, weld the straight pipe 7 to the cooling medium inlet 9, and weld the upper cover 3 to the tank body 1, completing the assembly and processing. In operation, the steam inlet 11 is connected to the distillation tower via a pipeline, the material outlet 12 is connected to the discharge pipeline, and the cooling medium inlet 9 and cooling medium outlet 10 are respectively connected to the cooling medium circulation pipeline, which can be a refrigeration system. Diisopropylamine vapor enters the tank 1 through the steam inlet 11, and the cooling medium enters through the cooling medium inlet 9, and then enters the inner cavity of the heat exchange plate 4 through the straight pipe 7. Subsequently, it enters the inner cavity of each heat exchange plate 4 through the connecting pipe 5, and finally exits from the bottom bend pipe 8 and the cooling medium outlet 10. The diisopropylamine vapor exchanges heat with the cooling medium in each heat exchange plate 4 inside the tank 1. After condensing into water, it moves downward through the flow channel 13 of each heat exchange plate 4, and finally exits and is collected from the material outlet 12 of the lower cover 2. This utility model has a reasonable structure. The tank body 1 is equipped with several hollow heat exchange plates 4, and adjacent heat exchange plates 4 are interconnected by connecting pipes 5. The cooling medium fills each heat exchange plate 4 sequentially through the left and right alternately arranged connecting pipes 5. After diisopropylamine vapor enters the tank body 1, it exchanges heat with the cooling medium inside the heat exchange plate 4 and condenses to obtain diisopropylamine liquid. The tank body 1 is uniformly equipped with multiple layers of heat exchange plates 4, and the left and right alternately arranged connecting pipes 5 can make the cooling medium completely fill each heat exchange plate 4, thereby greatly improving the heat exchange effect with diisopropylamine vapor.
