Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the fields of petrochemical, chemical separation and energy-saving technology, specifically a low-pressure-drop T-type float valve. Background Technology
[0002] A guide float valve tray for a packed tower includes a tray with an installation hole on its outer wall. A float valve assembly is installed on the inner wall of the installation hole. A guide block is installed on one side of the installation hole and on the outer wall of the tray. This invention uses a sliding rod located in the inner cavity of the installation hole to seal the top cover over the installation hole. When there is high-pressure gas below the tray, the gas rushes into the installation hole through the gap between the bottom plate and the sliding rod, lifting the top cover to open the float valve. Conversely, the bottom plate pulls the sliding rod down under gravity, causing the float valve to close. However, the top cover in this device has a sealing effect on the installation hole. When the rising gas velocity is low, the top cover is prone to sticking to the tray, preventing the float valve from opening. When the rising gas velocity is high, the bottom plate is easily lifted by the airflow, causing blockage of the installation hole. Therefore, we propose a low-pressure-drop T-type float valve. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a low-pressure-drop T-type float valve to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background section.

[0011] This utility model provides a low-pressure-drop T-type float valve. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0012] (1) The opening of the valve cover is limited by the baffle and the support foot. The groove on the valve cover ensures that the valve cover moves straight up and down under the impact of the airflow without rotating or tilting, thus reducing the wear of the valve cover. The baffle and the side plate cooperate to prevent the valve cover from falling off and being over-opened. The protrusion on the valve cover prevents the valve cover from sticking and jamming with the tower plate. The arched design enhances the resistance to deformation.
[0013] (2) This utility model makes full use of the mass transfer space at the top of the valve cover by using the second guide hole and the oblique fan shape at both ends of the baffle, so that the gas is more finely and evenly dispersed, the gas-liquid contact is more sufficient, and the airflow is easier to guide and disperse.
[0014] (3) The present invention divides the gas into many small streams when it flows out of the valve cover side through the flow divider ring and flow divider groove, thereby increasing the gas-liquid contact area and improving the mass transfer efficiency of the tray.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model is a low-pressure-drop T-type floating valve, including a tower plate 1. The tower plate 1 is provided with a mounting hole 2 and a first guide hole 3. Four first guide holes 3 are symmetrically arranged, and the four first guide holes 3 are all oblong in shape. A baffle 4 is provided above the tower plate 1. The middle section of the baffle 4 is square, and the two ends of the baffle 4 are fan-shaped with an upward sloping angle. Four support legs 5 are fixedly connected to the upper part of the baffle 4. The four support legs 5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the baffle 4, and the support legs 5 are slidably connected in the corresponding first guide hole 3.
[0024] The gap between the first guide hole 3 and the support leg 5 is 0.2-0.5mm to ensure smooth movement. The length of the first guide hole 3 is 1-2mm larger than the width of the right angle to allow the stop 4 to rise and fall freely. The stop 4 and the support leg 5 are designed as an integral unit to reduce connection nodes and reduce the risk of failure.
[0025] A valve cover 6 is slidably connected between the four support legs 5. The valve cover 6 has an upward arched design and three downward protrusions 61 on it. The edge of the valve cover 6 has four slots 62, which are slidably connected to the inner side of the corresponding support legs 5.
[0026] The opening of the valve cover 6 is limited by the baffle 4 and the support leg 5. The groove 62 on the valve cover 6 ensures that the valve cover 6 moves straight up and down under the impact of airflow without rotating or tilting, thus reducing the wear of the valve cover 6. The baffle 4 and the side plate 8 cooperate to prevent the valve cover 6 from falling off and being over-opened. The protrusion 61 on the valve cover 6 prevents the valve cover 6 from sticking and jamming with the tower plate 1. The arched design enhances the resistance to deformation.
[0027] A second guide hole 63 is provided through the valve cover 6. There are four second guide holes 63. Every two second guide holes 63 form a group. The two groups of second guide holes 63 are respectively facing the two ends of the baffle 4.
[0028] By using the second guide hole 63 and the oblique fan-shaped ends of the baffle 4, the mass transfer space on the upper part of the valve cover 6 is fully utilized, making the gas dispersion more fine and uniform, the gas-liquid contact more sufficient, and facilitating the guidance and dispersion of the airflow.
[0029] A flow divider ring 64 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the valve cover 6. The flow divider ring 64 is located inside the protrusion 61. A flow divider groove 65 is provided on the flow divider ring 64, and multiple flow divider grooves 65 are provided.
[0030] The diameters of the valve cover 6 and the flow divider ring 64 are both larger than the diameter of the mounting hole 2, and the height of the flow divider ring 64 is smaller than the height of the protrusion 61.
[0031] The flow divider ring 64 and flow divider groove 65 divide the gas flow out of the side of the valve cover 6 into many small gas streams, thereby increasing the gas-liquid contact area and improving the mass transfer efficiency of the tray.
[0032] The lower end of the support leg 5 passes through the first guide hole 3 and then bends to one side to prevent the baffle 4 and valve cover 6 from falling off the tower plate 1. The support leg 5 is provided with a right angle bend 7. There are two right angle bends 7. The upper right angle bend 7 limits the maximum opening of the valve cover 6, and the lower right angle bend 7 limits the minimum height of the baffle 4. The distance between the two right angle bends 7 is greater than the overall height of the valve cover 6.
[0033] Side plates 8 are fixedly installed on both sides of the middle section of the baffle 4, and the bottom surface of the two side plates 8 is an arc surface that matches the arched shape of the valve cover 6.
[0034] The arc surface of the side plate 8 forms a sealing surface with the valve cover 6, reducing gas short-circuit flow.
[0035] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When there is no rising vapor phase or the vapor phase is small, the valve cover 6 cannot be lifted by the airflow, the protrusion 61 contacts the pedal 1, the float valve is in a closed state, part of the airflow passes through the mounting hole 2, is divided into multiple small airflows through the diversion groove 65, and then passes through the side of the valve cover 6 and rises. Part of the airflow overflows and rises along the oblique fan shape at both ends of the baffle 4 through the second guide hole 63. When the rising vapor phase gradually increases, the valve cover 6 is opened by the impact of the airflow and slides along the support leg 5. The opening degree increases with the increase of the vapor phase, keeping the vapor phase velocity stable and the pressure drop small. When the vapor phase velocity reaches the critical value, the airflow lifts the valve cover 6, the support leg 5 and the baffle 4 to the highest position, and the float valve is fully open.
