Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat recovery technology for polymer exhaust gas, specifically to a cooling series plate heat exchange structure for polymer exhaust gas. Background Technology

[0002] In summer, when the cooling water temperature is high, the tube condenser of the polymerization exhaust often has insufficient cooling effect, which leads to increased polymerization pressure, or bubbling and overflow of liquid seal tank. It may even cause scalding accidents due to excessively high water temperature. Summary of the Invention

This structure is characterized by its simple structure, high efficiency, and stable operation. A plate heat exchanger is connected in series below the shell-and-tube heat exchanger to achieve precise regulation of exhaust gas cooling. In summer, when the cooling water temperature is high, the plate heat exchanger is activated to more effectively cool the polymerized exhaust gas, thus preventing flooding in the liquid seal tank and the risk of scalding due to excessively high water temperature. In winter, when the cooling water temperature is low, the plate heat exchanger can be deactivated, and the shell-and-tube condenser can be used alone to save energy and facilitate cleaning and maintenance.

[0012] This invention can achieve the following effects:

[0013] This invention provides a series plate heat exchanger structure for cooling polymerized exhaust gas. Compared with existing technologies, it features a simple structure, good performance, and stable operation. A plate heat exchanger is connected in series below the shell-and-tube heat exchanger to achieve precise regulation of exhaust gas cooling. In summer, when the cooling water temperature is high, the plate heat exchanger is activated to more effectively cool the polymerized exhaust gas, thereby preventing flooding in the liquid seal tank and the risk of scalding due to excessively high water temperature.

[0016] Internal Optimized Circulation: An internal circulation path was designed where gas is drawn from the top of the tube-and-shell heat exchanger, cooled by a plate heat exchanger, and then returned to the bottom. This not only utilizes the high efficiency of the plate heat exchanger but also optimizes the temperature field inside the tube-and-shell heat exchanger, avoiding localized overheating and improving overall heat exchange efficiency.

[0017] Safe and reliable: The liquid seal tank design at the inlet effectively prevents gas backfire and pressure fluctuations, ensuring system safety. Flange connections and modular plate design also facilitate installation, maintenance, and replacement. Attached Figure Description

A plate outlet pipe I14 is provided between the exhaust pipe 19 and the plate heat exchanger 12, connected to the plate inlet pipe I8. A valve VI15 is provided on the plate outlet pipe I14.

[0024] The shell and tube heat exchanger 1 includes a heat exchange tank 20. The upper end of the heat exchange tank 20 is provided with an inlet flange pipe I 21 that is fixed to the inlet pipe 2 by flange bolts. The lower end of the heat exchange tank 20 is provided with an outlet flange pipe II 25 that is fixed to the exhaust pipe 19 by flange bolts. The upper side of the heat exchange tank 20 is provided with an outlet flange pipe I 23 that is fixed to the circulating return gas pipe 3 by flange bolts. The lower side of the heat exchange tank 20 is provided with an inlet flange pipe II 24 that is fixed to the make-up gas pipe 6 by flange bolts. A partition plate 22 is provided between the inlet flange pipe I 21 and the outlet flange pipe I 23, and between the outlet flange pipe II 25 and the inlet flange pipe II 24, which separates the heat exchange tank 20 into interconnected chambers. Between the two partition plates 22, there are 24 guide pipes 27 arranged in an array and connected to the inlet flange pipe I 21 and the outlet flange pipe II 25. Between the outlet flange pipe I 23 and the inlet flange pipe II 24, there are 7 diverter plates 26 arranged in an alternating pattern and connected to the guide pipes 27.

[0025] The plate heat exchanger 12 includes a fixed clamping plate 28 and a movable clamping plate 31. The inner end face of the fixed clamping plate 28 is provided with a rubber plate 34. Five heat exchange plates 30 are provided between the fixed clamping plate 28 and the movable clamping plate 31.

The upper and lower ends of the heat exchange plates 30 are provided with guide rods 29 that are inserted into the heat exchange plates 30. The two ends of the guide rods 29 are threadedly fixed to the fixed clamping plate 28 and the movable clamping plate 31. Three clamping screws 33 are provided on both sides of the fixed clamping plate 28 and the movable clamping plate 31, which penetrate the fixed clamping plate 28 and the movable clamping plate 31 and are locked with nuts.

[0026] When the base cooling or plate heat exchanger needs maintenance, the shell and tube heat exchanger is used in single-unit operation mode.

[0027] Valve status:

[0028] Open: Valve I4, Valve II5, Valve III7, Valve VII16.

[0029] Close: Valves IV10, V11, VI15, and VIII17.

[0030] Airflow path:

[0031] The original thermal polymerization exhaust gas flows directly downwards through the liquid seal tank 13, then through the inlet pipe 2, and finally to the top of the tube-and-shell heat exchanger 1. Inside the tube-and-shell heat exchanger, most of the gas flows directly downwards through 24 guide pipes 27 and is cooled by the cooling medium outside the pipes. A small portion of the gas or circulating gas enters the circulating return pipe 3 from the upper chamber through the outlet flange pipe I 23. Because valve IV 10 is closed, this portion of the gas cannot enter the plate heat exchanger. It flows directly to the circulating return pipe 3 after passing through the open valves I 4 and II 5. In the lower chamber, it mixes with the main gas flow from the guide pipes 27, undergoes secondary mixing and cooling, and then is discharged through the outlet flange pipe II 25. The mixed gas then flows through the exhaust pipe 19, valve VII 16, and is discharged downstream for treatment or emission.

[0032] The series-enhanced cooling mode maximizes cooling efficiency for handling high-temperature or high-load gases.

[0033] Valve status:

[0034] Open: Valve I4, Valve II5, Valve III7, Valve IV10, Valve V11, Valve VI15, Valve VII16, Valve VIII17.

[0035] This forms a composite system of "main hot gas series cooling" and "internal cold gas circulation". The shell and tube heat exchanger provides primary cooling, the plate heat exchanger provides secondary cooling, and the internal circulation further optimizes the temperature distribution within the shell and tube heat exchanger, resulting in the highest cooling efficiency.

[0036] In summary, this series plate heat exchanger structure for cooling the polymerized exhaust gas features simple structure, good performance, and stable operation. A plate heat exchanger is connected in series below the shell-and-tube heat exchanger to achieve precise regulation of exhaust gas cooling. In summer, when the cooling water temperature is high, the plate heat exchanger is activated to more effectively cool the polymerized exhaust gas, thus preventing flooding in the liquid seal tank and the risk of scalding due to excessively high water temperature. In winter, when the cooling water temperature is low, the plate heat exchanger can be deactivated, and the shell-and-tube condenser can be used alone to save energy and facilitate cleaning and maintenance.
