Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cyclohexylamine production equipment, specifically a cyclohexylamine electric heating device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of cyclohexylamine, activating the catalyst with an electric heater is a key step in improving catalytic efficiency. The electric heater primarily functions as a heat source, utilizing electricity as the energy source for heating. It offers rapid heating, quickly raising the material to the required temperature; it's convenient to use, requiring only a power connection without preheating or other complex operations; and it provides high control precision, accurately controlling the temperature to ensure heating effectiveness. However, electric heaters also have some drawbacks. First, energy consumption is high, especially in large-scale production or long-term continuous use, leading to higher costs. Second, the complexity of electric heating equipment results in relatively high product costs. Furthermore, uneven arrangement of heating elements and imbalances in feeding and discharging can negatively impact internal temperature uniformity. Electric heating equipment is also prone to overheating and excessive current during operation, potentially posing safety hazards if not operated properly. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a cyclohexylamine electric heating device, comprising a cylinder and a sealing cover plate with an opening at the top of the cylinder. The lower end of the cylinder is sealed. Feed flanges are respectively provided on both sides of the top of the cylinder, and discharge flanges are respectively provided on both sides of the bottom of the cylinder. Multiple electric heating tubes located inside the cylinder pass through the sealing cover plate. The upper wiring terminals of the electric heating tubes are located in a circular sealed wiring chamber above the cylinder. Each electric heating tube has a U-shaped structure and multiple layers of guide plates are fixed inside the cylinder. Each electric heating tube passes through the mounting holes of the guide plates and is fixedly connected to the guide plates. Multiple hollowed-out guide ports are opened on the guide plates between the mounting holes.

[0005] Furthermore, the mounting holes have multiple rings, each ring arranged around the center of the cylinder axis, and the number of mounting holes gradually increases from the inside to the outside of each ring.

[0006] Furthermore, a drain outlet is provided at the center of the lower end of the cylinder.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the cylinder is supported by multiple support legs.

[0008] Furthermore, an internal thermometer is fixed inside the wiring chamber, and the internal thermometer extends into the cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, each discharge flange is equipped with an outlet thermometer on its side wall.

[0010] Furthermore, the wiring chamber is located on the upper sealing cover, and the heating element between the wiring chamber and the sealing cover is wrapped with a protective sleeve.

[0011] With the above settings, this utility model has the following advantages: This invention achieves precise temperature control through the rational arrangement of heating tubes and inlet / outlet layout, ensuring full exposure of catalyst active sites while preventing sintering or deactivation caused by high temperatures. Multiple evenly arranged U-shaped electric heating tubes provide the heat source. The guide plate not only guides the flow but also secures each heating tube. Multiple rings of mounting holes are arranged around the center of the cylinder, with the number of holes gradually increasing from the inside out. This ensures more even distribution within the cylindrical structure and effectively prevents excessive heat concentration in the center. Combined with the high-efficiency heat transfer characteristics of the heat pipes, the temperature control of the reaction system is optimized, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of the catalytic reaction.
