Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of p-aminophenol crystallization production technology, and more specifically, to an external cooler for continuous crystallization of p-aminophenol. Background Technology
[0002] p-Aminophenol, as a crucial organic chemical raw material, plays an indispensable role in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, dyes, and rubber additives. In the industrial production process of p-aminophenol, a continuous hydrogenation reaction is first required. After a period of reaction, the hydrogenated liquid that meets quality standards enters a catalyst settling tank. In the settling tank, the catalyst is separated and returned to the hydrogenation system for recycling. The clear liquid at the top of the settling tank is then treated under reduced pressure and enters a ceramic membrane filtration system to further remove residual catalyst. Subsequently, the resulting pure clear liquid is sent to a continuous crystallizer. In the continuous crystallizer, the clear liquid needs to be cooled by heat exchange with cooling water or chilled water in an external cooler to promote the crystallization of p-aminophenol. This step has a decisive impact on product quality and production efficiency. Traditional external coolers use multiple heat exchange risers for heat exchange. However, during the cooling and crystallization process of p-aminophenol, some crystals adhere to the inner wall of the heat exchanger tubes. Over time, these crystals accumulate and gradually clog the heat exchanger tubes, which not only reduces heat exchange efficiency but may also lead to equipment failure, increase equipment maintenance costs and downtime, and cause great inconvenience to production. It is also inconvenient to clean the attached crystals. Therefore, an external cooler for continuous crystallization of p-aminophenol is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an external cooler for the continuous crystallization of p-aminophenol, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the filtered liquid is input into the interior of the top cover 2 through the liquid inlet pipe 19, and at the same time, coolant is input into the heat exchange plate 4 and the heat exchange cylinder 5 through a connecting pipe 8 to exchange heat and cool down the input liquid. The top heat exchange plate 4 can reduce the rate of liquid falling and improve the heat exchange quality. During use, the vibration waterproof motor 6 can be periodically controlled to start, which can make the heat exchange plate 4 and heat exchange cylinder 5 vibrate up and down inside the external cooler cylinder 1. The stability of the vibration is improved by the cooperation of the first limiting strip 16 and the second limiting strip 17 with the first slot 18. The vibration of the heat exchange plate 4 and heat exchange cylinder 5 can shake off the attached crystals, avoiding the accumulation of crystals that affect the liquid flow effect. Then, the motor 12 can be started periodically to control the threaded rod 13 to drive the scraper 10 to move between the two heat exchange plates 4. The crystals on the surface of the heat exchange cylinder 5 can be scraped off by the scraper ring 11, thereby improving the heat exchange effect between the liquid inside the heat exchange cylinder 5 and the external clear liquid and improving the performance.
