Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of temperature control device technology, and in particular to a fractionation temperature control device. Background Technology
[0002] The fractionation temperature control device is a device for controlling the temperature of the slurry oil in a fractionation tower. This device can independently control the temperature at the top of the herringbone baffle and the bottom of the tower, thereby achieving precise regulation of the slurry oil temperature.
[0003] Existing fractionation temperature control devices typically transport the oil deposited at the bottom of the fractionation tower to a steam generator for heating, then through pipelines to the upper and lower return tower lines, and finally to a preset position within the fractionation tower to regulate the temperature. However, during operation, a significant amount of heat from the oil and steam is lost to the surrounding environment during transport to the steam generator and the subsequent transport of the heated oil vapor through the pipelines to the upper and lower return tower lines. This negatively impacts temperature control and results in poor performance. Furthermore, the high-temperature flue gas generated by the steam generator is directly discharged into waste gas treatment equipment, wasting its heat and further contributing to the poor performance. Therefore, we propose a fractionation temperature control device. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0027] Reference Figures 1-5 A fractionation temperature control device includes a base 1, a control cabinet 2 installed on the top of the base 1, and a controller inside the control cabinet 2. The controller is one of a control motherboard, a host, or a PLC logic controller.
[0028] like Figure 1As shown, a fractionation tower 7 is installed on the top of the base 1 via support legs 3. A feed pipe 4 is installed on one side of the fractionation tower 7, and several discharge pipes 5 are installed on the other side of the fractionation tower 7. An exhaust pipe 8 is also installed on the top of the fractionation tower 7. In actual use, heated crude oil can be transported into the fractionation tower 7 through the feed pipe 4. Under different temperatures, different components in the crude oil can be discharged through the corresponding discharge pipes 5, thus completing the fractionation.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a delivery pump 18 is installed on the top of the base 1. A first discharge pipe 19 is installed at the inlet of the delivery pump 18. The top of the first discharge pipe 19 is connected to the bottom of the fractionation tower 7. A second discharge pipe 20 is connected to the outlet of the delivery pump 18. The other end of the second discharge pipe 20 is fixed to the side of the outer casing 16. The outer casing 16 is fixed on the base 1. The delivery pump 18 is connected to the controller through a wire. In actual use, the oil deposited at the bottom of the fractionation tower 7 can be transported to the inside of the outer casing 16 for processing through the first discharge pipe 19 and the second discharge pipe 20 by the delivery pump 18.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, several layers of heat exchange tubes 23 are stacked inside the outer shell 16, and adjacent layers of heat exchange tubes 23 are connected end to end. The end of the second discharge pipe 20 is connected to the end of the lowest heat exchange tube 23. A feeding pipe 21 is installed at one end of the highest heat exchange tube 23. The top of the feeding pipe 21 penetrates the outer shell 16. A furnace chamber 22 is provided on one side of the inner shell 16. In actual use, the operator can add fuel into the furnace chamber 22 for combustion. In actual use, the delivery pump 18 delivers oil to the heat exchange tubes 23. The heat generated by the combustion of fuel will heat the oil in the heat exchange tubes 23, causing the oil to vaporize. The vaporized oil is then delivered to the feeding pipe 21.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, sealing covers 6 are installed at both lower ends of the fractionation column 7. Installation grooves 24 are opened on the upper and lower sides of the fractionation column 7. The installation grooves 24 are located inside the sealing covers 6 and penetrate through the side wall of the fractionation column 7. A temperature sensor 25 is installed inside each installation groove 24. The temperature sensor 25 is connected to the controller through a wire. The temperature sensor 25 can detect the temperature inside the fractionation column 7 and transmit the detection data to the controller.
[0032] It should be noted that, as Figure 4As shown, a sealing groove 27 is provided at one end of the fractionation tower 7 near the mounting groove 24. A heat-conducting plate 26 is installed inside the sealing groove 27. The heat-conducting plate 26 covers the opening of the mounting groove 24 and is sealed to the mounting groove 24. One side of the temperature sensor 25 is in contact with the side of the heat-conducting plate 26. The heat-conducting plate 26 can separate the oil-gas mixture in the fractionation tower 7 from the temperature sensor 25, so that the temperature sensor 25 will not be contaminated or damaged by the oil. In addition, the heat-conducting plate 26 can transfer the temperature in the fractionation tower 7 to the temperature sensor 25 without affecting the detection of the temperature sensor 25.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the feed pipe 21 is connected to the upper return tower line 9 and the lower return tower line 12 at its ends. The other end of the upper return tower line 9 is fixed to the upper side of the fractionation tower 7, and the other end of the lower return tower line 12 is fixed to the bottom side of the fractionation tower 7. Both the upper return tower line 9 and the lower return tower line 12 are equipped with electrically controlled valves 17. The electrically controlled valves 17 are connected to the controller via wires. In actual use, the controller receives data from the temperature sensor 25 and can control the opening size of the corresponding electrically controlled valves 17 as needed, thereby changing the steam flow rate delivered by the upper return tower line 9 or the lower return tower line 12. This keeps the temperature inside the fractionation tower 7 at a preset value, ensuring normal crude oil fractionation.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, mounting plates 14 are installed on both sides of the feeding pipe 21 and the second discharge pipe 20. A heat insulation cover 11 is installed between each pair of mounting plates 14. An insulation pad 29 is installed inside each heat insulation cover 11. The insulation pad 29 is wrapped around the surface of the corresponding second discharge pipe 20 and feeding pipe 21. The insulation pad 29 is made of aerogel felt material. The insulation pad 29 can wrap the outer surface of the second discharge pipe 20 and the feeding pipe 21, reduce the heat loss rate of the steam inside the second discharge pipe 20 and the feeding pipe 21, and improve the heat preservation effect.
[0035] When necessary, such as Figure 5 As shown, there is a gap between the insulation pad 29 and the heat insulation cover 11, which forms an air insulation layer and increases the heat insulation effect.
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, each heat insulation cover 11 is equipped with a smoke guide pipe 28 inside. One end of one smoke guide pipe 28 is connected to a guide pipe 13 and a smoke outlet pipe 15. The other end of the smoke outlet pipe 15 passes through the heat insulation cover 11 and is connected to the furnace cavity 22. The other end of the guide pipe 13 is connected to one end of another smoke guide pipe 28. The ends of the two smoke guide pipes 28 away from the guide pipe 13 are connected by a smoke exhaust pipe 10. One end of the smoke exhaust pipe 10 extends to the outside of the heat insulation cover 11. The high-temperature flue gas generated by fuel combustion inside the furnace cavity 22 can be transported to the two smoke guide pipes 28 through the smoke outlet pipe 15 and the guide pipe 13. The steam inside the second discharge pipe 20 and the feeding pipe 21 is heated by the smoke guide pipes 28, which can recover and utilize the heat of the flue gas and improve the utilization effect.
[0037] Specifically, in use, the heated crude oil is fed into the fractionation tower 7 via the feed pipe 4. Different components within the crude oil vaporize at different temperatures, and only the different components are discharged through their corresponding discharge pipes 5. The oil deposited at the bottom of the fractionation tower 7 is then pumped by the pump 18 through the first discharge pipe 19 and the second discharge pipe 20 to the heat exchange pipe 23. After being heated by fuel in the furnace chamber 22, it forms steam, which is then fed through the feed pipe 21. From there, it is fed through the feed pipe 21 to the upper return tower line 9 and the lower return tower line 12, and finally back into the fractionation tower 7 for circulating fractionation. During the fractionation process, the temperature sensor 25 inside the fractionation tower 7 monitors the temperature. When the temperature falls below a preset value... The controller controls the opening degree of the corresponding electronically controlled valve 17, thereby adjusting the flow rate of steam in the upper return tower pipeline 9 and the lower return tower pipeline 12, which in turn controls the temperature inside the fractionation tower 7. Furthermore, through the cooperation of the insulation pad 29 and the heat insulation cover 11, the oil in the second discharge pipe 20 and the feed pipe 21 can be insulated, reducing the rate at which temperature is lost to the external environment, thereby saving energy. During use, the high-temperature flue gas generated by fuel combustion in the furnace chamber 22 can be transported to the two guide pipes 28 through the flue pipe 15 and the guide pipe 13. The high-temperature flue gas can heat the oil in the second discharge pipe 20 and the feed pipe 21 through the guide pipes 28. The heated flue gas is then discharged to the external waste gas treatment equipment for treatment through the exhaust pipe 10.
[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the flue pipe 28 is spirally arranged, and the side of the insulation pad 29 is provided with a receiving groove 30 that matches the flue pipe 28. The flue pipe 28 is located in the corresponding receiving groove 30, which can increase the heating time of the flue gas and the steam inside the second discharge pipe 20 and the feeding pipe 21, and improve the thermal energy utilization efficiency.
[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, each heat exchange tube 23 is arranged in an "S" shape or a serpentine shape, which increases the length of the heat exchange tube 23 inside the furnace cavity 22, and the oil flowing inside the heat exchange tube 23 can be fully heated by the heat generated by fuel combustion.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
