Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of chemical heat exchange equipment, specifically a reboiler for heating and purifying chemical materials. Background Technology
[0002] A reboiler, also known as an evaporator, is a heat exchanger that provides heat to the bottom of a distillation or rectification column during the heating and purification of chemical materials. It boils the liquid material to generate steam, which is then returned to the column to drive the distillation or rectification separation process. It can partially or completely evaporate the liquid collected from the bottom of the column.
[0003] Reboilers are commonly classified into vertical and horizontal reboilers based on their installation structure. Existing horizontal reboilers directly input relatively low-temperature liquids into the shell, and heat the liquid to generate steam through circulating hot materials. Since heating is a process, steam can only be generated quickly when the boiling point is reached. The temperature of the liquid is relatively low before it reaches the shell, and the temperature gradually decreases during the transportation process. Therefore, directly inputting the liquid into the reboiler shell increases the required heating time, resulting in long steam generation time and low efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a reboiler for heating and purifying chemical materials, which solves the problem that existing horizontal reboilers, which directly input relatively low-temperature liquids into the shell, result in long steam generation times and low efficiency.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A reboiler for heating and purifying chemical materials includes a shell and a tube box connected to one end of the shell. Tube sheets are fixed to one end of the shell corresponding to the tube box and the other end of the shell facing away from the tube box. A tube bundle is connected between the two tube sheets. A floating head is connected to the end of the tube sheet inside the shell facing away from the tube bundle.
[0007] A partition is horizontally fixed between the inside of the tube box and the tube sheet. A hot material input pipe and a hot material output pipe are connected to the top and bottom of the tube box, respectively. A heat exchange pipe is vertically installed inside the hot material input pipe, penetrating the partition and the tube box. Both ends of the heat exchange pipe penetrate the side walls of the hot material input pipe and the hot material output pipe and extend out to connect with the connecting pipe.
[0008] A cold material input pipe is connected to one end of the connecting pipe corresponding to the hot material input pipe. The cold material input pipe is connected to the top of the shell near the pipe box. A steam output pipe is connected to the top of the shell. A preheating pipe is horizontally arranged at the bottom of the shell. Heat-conducting plates are fixed at equal intervals on the surface of the preheating pipe. The heat-conducting plates are fixed to the bottom of the shell, and one end of the preheating pipe is connected to a cold material inlet pipe.
[0009] Preferably, a weir plate is vertically connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the shell at a position on the side of the float head, and a level gauge is connected to the outer wall of the shell on the side of the weir plate away from the float head.
[0010] Preferably, the heat exchange tube, connecting tube, cold material input tube, preheating tube, and cold material liquid inlet tube are welded and fixed in sequence.
[0011] Preferably, a flange is provided in the middle of the connecting pipe, and the left and right parts of the connecting pipe are connected and fixed by the flange and bolts and nuts.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a reboiler for heating and purifying chemical materials, including a shell 1 and a tube box 2 connected to one end of the shell 1. Tube plates 3 are fixed at one end of the shell 1 corresponding to the tube box 2 and at the end inside the shell 1 away from the tube box 2. A tube bundle 4 is connected between the two tube plates 3. A float head 5 is connected at the end of the tube plate 3 inside the shell 1 away from the tube bundle 4. A weir plate 16 is vertically connected at the bottom of the inner wall of the shell 1 at the position on one side of the float head 5. A level gauge 17 is connected on the outer wall of the shell 1 on the side of the weir plate 16 away from the float head 5.
[0021] A partition 6 is horizontally fixed between the inside of the tube box 2 and the tube sheet 3. The top and bottom of the tube box 2 are respectively connected to a hot material input pipe 7 and a hot material output pipe 8. A heat exchange pipe 9 is vertically installed inside the hot material input pipe 7, which penetrates the partition 6 and the tube box 2. Both ends of the heat exchange pipe 9 penetrate the side walls of the hot material input pipe 7 and the hot material output pipe 8 and extend out to connect with the connecting pipe 10. A flange 1001 is installed in the middle of the connecting pipe 10. The left and right parts of the connecting pipe 10 are connected and fixed by the flange 1001 and bolts and nuts.
[0022] One end of the connecting pipe 10 corresponding to the hot material input pipe 7 is connected to the cold material input pipe 11. The cold material input pipe 11 is vertically connected to the outer wall of the shell 1 and corresponds to the end surface of the tube bundle 4 near the tube box 2. The cold material input pipe 11 is connected to the top of the shell 1 near the tube box 2. The top of the shell 1 is connected to the steam output pipe 12.
[0023] A preheating pipe 13 is horizontally arranged at the bottom of the shell 1. A heat-conducting plate 14 is fixed at equal intervals on the surface of the preheating pipe 13. The heat-conducting plate 14 is fixed at the bottom of the shell 1, and one end of the preheating pipe 13 is connected to a cold material inlet pipe 15. The heat exchange pipe 9, the connecting pipe 10, the cold material input pipe 11, the preheating pipe 13 and the cold material inlet pipe 15 are welded and fixed in sequence.
[0024] Working principle:
[0025] The hot material used to provide heat is injected through the hot material inlet pipe 7, passes through the area above the partition 6 inside the tube box 2, and then laterally passes through the upper half of the tube bundle 4 to reach the floating head 5. It then flows back inside the floating head 5, laterally passes through the lower half of the tube bundle 4 to reach the area below the partition 6 inside the tube box 2, and flows out through the hot material outlet pipe 8, where it is heated and circulated by the heating equipment. The liquid is input through the cold material inlet pipe 15, passes sequentially through the preheating pipe 13, connecting pipe 10, heat exchange pipe 9, and cold material inlet pipe 11 before entering the shell 1. The heat inside the shell 1 heats the heat-conducting plate 14 and the preheating pipe 13, preheating the liquid inside the preheating pipe 13. Then, the heat in the pipe box 2, the hot material input pipe 7, and the hot material output pipe 8 directly heats the heat exchange pipe 9, reheating the liquid inside the heat exchange pipe 9. This heats the liquid entering the shell 1, making full use of the thermal energy and residual heat of the hot material. This reduces the energy required for the liquid to reach its boiling point in the shell 1 and shortens the time required, thus achieving the effect of scientifically improving efficiency and saving energy and protecting the environment.
