[0023] 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.
[0024] Reference Figures 1-5 A reboiler includes a liquid collection assembly 1, which includes a liquid collection tank 101. A support plate 102 is welded between the inner circumferential walls of the liquid collection tank 101. A plurality of upper fixing heads 103 are fixedly inserted into one of the support plates 102, and a plurality of lower fixing heads 104 are fixedly inserted into the other support plate 102. A heat exchange assembly 2 is provided between the upper fixing heads 103 and the lower fixing heads 104.
[0025] The heat exchange assembly 2 includes a heat exchange tube 201, which is an aluminum alloy tube. Both ends of the heat exchange tube 201 are threaded with connectors 202. The two connectors 202 are respectively fixed to the upper fixing head 103 and the lower fixing head 104 by bolts. A sealing plate 203 is welded to the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 201. A sealing gasket 204 is bonded to the top and bottom of the sealing plate 203. The sealing gasket 204 can be a fluororubber sealing gasket.
[0026] Multiple baffles 105 are fixed between the inner circumference of the liquid collection tank 101 by bolts. The baffles 105 are made of stainless steel plates and have two guide grooves 106. The sealing plate 203 is engaged with the guide grooves 106 to facilitate the positioning and installation of the heat exchange tube 201.
[0027] The water vapor descending in the liquid collection tank 101 provides heat to the liquid in the heat exchange tube 201 by layer down along the baffle 105, causing the liquid in the heat exchange tube 201 to vaporize.
[0028] One end of the connector 202 is fitted with a sealing ring 205, which can be a nitrile rubber ring, thereby sealing the connection between the upper fixing head 103 and the lower fixing head 104 and the connector 202, thus preventing leakage of liquid materials.
[0029] Disconnect the connector 202 from the upper fixing head 103 and the lower fixing head 104, thereby removing the heat exchange tube 201 from between the upper fixing head 103 and the lower fixing head 104, and then take out the heat exchange tube 201 from the side opening 3 for cleaning and replacement.
[0030] The top and bottom of the liquid collection tank 101 are fitted with mesh plates 107, which are 10-100 mesh, to facilitate the filtration of liquid materials when they enter and exit, and the mesh plates 107 are removed and cleaned periodically.
[0031] The liquid collection tank 101 is provided with a steam inlet 108 and a drain outlet 114 on one side, so that high-boiling-point steam can be introduced into the liquid collection tank 101 through the steam inlet 108. The other side of the liquid collection tank 101 is provided with a reboiler outlet 112, a side exhaust outlet 113 and a condensate outlet 109, and the fallen condensate is discharged along the condensate outlet 109.
[0032] The bottom of the liquid collection tank 101 is provided with a reboiler inlet 110. Liquid phase material enters the liquid collection tank 101 from the reboiler inlet 110. The top of the liquid collection tank 101 is provided with an upper exhaust port 111. When the gas pressure in the liquid collection tank 101 exceeds the set value, it can be vented through the upper exhaust port 111 to ensure the gas pressure in the liquid collection tank 101 is stable.
[0033] The liquid collection tank 101 has multiple side openings 3 on multiple sides. A sealing door 4 is connected to the inner wall of one side of the side opening 3 by a hinge. A connecting plate 5 is welded to the other side of the sealing door 4. Multiple fixing plates 6 are welded to the outer circumference of the liquid collection tank 101. Multiple fixing bolts are threaded between the fixing plate 6 and the connecting plate 5. The sealing door 4 is closed, and then the fixing bolts are passed through the fixing plate 6 and the connecting plate 5 and tightened to lock the sealing door 4.
[0034] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: During use, the liquid material enters the collection tank 101 through the reboiler inlet 110. Under pressure, the liquid in the collection tank 101 enters the heat exchange tube 201 through the lower fixed head 104. At the same time, high-boiling-point water vapor is introduced into the collection tank 101 through the water vapor inlet 108. Part of the water vapor is cooled by the heat absorption of the liquid in the heat exchange tube 201 and condenses into water that falls off. The condensate is discharged through the condensate outlet 109, and another part of the water vapor is discharged through the side exhaust port 113. The water vapor descending in the collection tank 101 provides heat to the liquid in the heat exchange tube 201 by descending layer by layer along the baffle 105, causing the liquid in the heat exchange tube 201 to vaporize. After vaporization, the liquid enters the top of the collection tank 101 and is sent back to the fractionation tower from the reboiler outlet 112.
[0035] When the gas pressure in the collection tank 101 exceeds the set value, it can be vented through the upper exhaust port 111 to ensure the gas pressure in the collection tank 101 is stable; impurities in the collection tank 101 can be discharged from the drain port 114.
[0036] When the heat exchange tube 201 needs to be cleaned or replaced, unscrew the fixing bolts, open the sealing door 4, and then disassemble the connector 202 from the upper fixing head 103 and the lower fixing head 104, thereby removing the heat exchange tube 201 from between the upper fixing head 103 and the lower fixing head 104. Then, take the heat exchange tube 201 out from the side opening 3 for cleaning and replacement.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. 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.
