Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of evaporator technology, specifically an embedded evaporator. Background Technology

[0002] Sulfur trioxide evaporators are key equipment in the sulfuric acid production process. They are mainly used to evaporate fuming sulfuric acid or liquid sulfur trioxide into gaseous sulfur trioxide to meet the purity requirements of high-end chemical fields such as electronic-grade sulfuric acid and sulfonation reactions. In existing sulfur trioxide evaporators, the medium flows in or out from one side of the evaporator, resulting in uneven distribution of the medium. This requires more heat to achieve uniform boiling of liquid sulfur trioxide, leading to heat waste. Secondly, most of the baffles in existing sulfur trioxide evaporators adopt a semi-circular structure, causing the medium to flow in a large S-shape. The semi-circular baffles force the fluid to repeatedly turn, forming a large S-shaped path, generating vortices and creating triangular stagnation zones. This results in more than 30% of the heat exchange area not being effectively utilized. Furthermore, the repeated turning of the large S-shaped baffles leads to high body resistance and increased energy consumption of the medium input device. Utility Model Content

[0027] Example 1: See Figures 1 to 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model, including a main cylinder 1, an upper cylinder 13, and a lower cylinder 9. The upper cylinder 13 is located above the main cylinder 1, and a top plate 3 is provided between the main cylinder 1 and the upper cylinder 13. The top plate 3 is provided with a plurality of liquid holes 21, and the main cylinder 1 and the upper cylinder 13 are connected through the liquid holes 21.

The annular plate 4 includes a first plate 41 in the middle, with an annular hole 42 in the middle. The disc plate 5 includes a second plate 51, the diameter of which is the same as the diameter of the annular hole 42. The first plate 41 has several first pipe holes 43, each corresponding to a liquid hole 21 in the bottom plate 2 and top plate 3. The second plate 51 has several second pipe holes 52, each corresponding to a liquid hole 21 in the bottom plate 2 and top plate 3. Heat exchange tubes 8 are installed in both the first pipe holes 43 and the second pipe holes 52. The two ends of the heat pipe 8 are connected to the liquid holes 21 corresponding to the bottom plate 2 and the top plate 3, respectively. The two ends of the heat exchange pipe 8 are connected to the upper cylinder 13 and the lower cylinder 9, respectively. The annular plate 4 and the disc plate 5 are alternately arranged. The heat exchange medium flows in a small wave shape under the guidance of the annular plate 4 and the disc plate 5 after entering the interior of the main cylinder 1. The medium is guided by the disc plate 5 to collide with the dead corner position of the annular plate 4, forcing the fluid to roll up and down, eliminating dead zones, extending the effective heat exchange path, and greatly reducing the area of ​​the medium stagnation zone. An upper annular channel 16 is provided on the upper outer side of the main cylinder 1. The upper sidewall of the main cylinder 1 is uniformly arranged in annular shape. The main cylinder 1 has several through holes and is connected to the upper ring channel 16 through the through holes. The side wall of the upper ring channel 16 is provided with a medium inlet 17. The lower outer side of the main cylinder 1 is provided with a lower ring channel 18. The lower side wall of the main cylinder 1 is provided with several through holes evenly arranged in a ring and the main cylinder 1 is connected to the lower ring channel 18 through the through holes, so that the medium flows into the evaporator more evenly. The side wall of the lower ring channel 18 is provided with a medium outlet 19. The side wall of the lower cylinder 9 is provided with a liquid inlet 10. The upper side wall of the upper cylinder 13 is provided with a gas outlet 14. The lower side wall of the upper cylinder 13 is provided with a liquid outlet 15.

[0028] Specifically, several heat exchange tubes 8 are grouped together, with each group consisting of six heat exchange tubes 8 arranged in a hexagonal pattern. The several groups of heat exchange tubes 8 are evenly distributed, allowing the use of thinner heat exchange tubes 8 and improving heat exchange efficiency.

[0029] Specifically, a first tie rod 6 connects the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 2. The first tie rod 6 is connected to the ring plate 4 to support and fix the ring plate 4.

[0030] Specifically, a second tie rod 7 is connected between the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 2. The second tie rod 7 is connected to the disc plate 5 to support and fix the disc plate 5.

[0032] Specifically, a first manhole 12 is provided on the side of the lower cylinder 9, and a second manhole is provided on the side of the upper cylinder 13, to facilitate maintenance.

[0033] Specifically, the bottom of the lower ring channel 18 is provided with a second row of clean ports 20 to achieve gas-liquid separation. When using steam as a heating medium, the heat source of the steam can be easily recovered.

[0034] Specifically, the bottom of the lower cylinder 9 is provided with a first drain port 11 to facilitate the drainage of liquid.

[0035] The principle of this utility model:

[0036] When steam is used as the heat exchange medium, the steam enters the upper ring channel 16 from the medium inlet 17 and enters the main cylinder 1 evenly from the upper ring channel 16. The alternating flow of the ring plate 4 and the disc plate 5 causes the steam to flow in a small wave shape and exchange heat with the liquid in the heat exchange tube 8. The steam enters the lower ring channel 18, and the condensed water flows out through the second clean port 20. The steam is recovered from the medium outlet 19.

[0037] Liquid sulfur trioxide containing impurities enters the lower cylinder 9 through the inlet pipe 10, and then enters the heat exchange tube 8 through the lower cylinder 9 for heat exchange. The sulfur trioxide gas in the liquid boils and evaporates, and is collected through the outlet pipe 14. The liquid sulfur trioxide enters the upper cylinder 13 through the heat exchange tube 8 and is discharged through the outlet pipe 15.

[0038] This invention, by setting up an upper ring channel 16 and a lower ring channel 18, ensures that the medium flows more evenly into the evaporator, improving heat utilization efficiency and saving heat usage. The device uses an alternating arrangement of ring plates 4 and disc plates 5 to reduce the triangular stagnation area and improve heat utilization efficiency. The small wave-shaped flow reduces resistance, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the medium input device. The device also achieves gas-liquid separation by setting a second row of clean ports 20 in the lower ring channel 18. When using steam as the heating medium, it can easily recover the heat source of the steam, saving energy and demonstrating good practicality.

[0039] The above are merely optional embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0040] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable way without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this utility model will not describe the various possible combinations separately.
