Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of chemical acid production equipment, specifically relating to an internal support structure for a stable chemical acid pre-converter. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of chemical acid production, the pre-converter, as the core equipment for converting high-concentration SO2 flue gas, has long been constrained by the thermal deformation of its internal structure, including the bottom plate, supporting columns, and steel grating, which significantly impacts the stability and service life of the unit. Pre-converters typically operate under harsh conditions of high temperature (390–650℃), high pressure (0.1–1.0 MPa), and the presence of acidic gases containing SO2 and SO3. Large temperature differences within the catalyst layer, high gas flow rates, and mismatched thermal expansion coefficients lead to localized thermal stress concentrations. In particular, the large columns supporting the pre-converter cylinder, which penetrate the upper and lower gas chambers and the catalyst layer, are particularly problematic. Originally, stiffening plates were welded to the bottom of the steel grating at the contact point between the large columns and the grating, providing support. Thermal deformation causes the large columns to tilt laterally, losing their supporting function and compressing the steel grating, resulting in localized catalyst collapse. Longitudinal deformation causes the large columns to stretch upwards, gradually making the bottom plate of the lower gas chamber uneven under varying degrees of tension, affecting the stability of the remaining columns in the lower gas chamber and simultaneously causing catalyst collapse, ultimately impacting the sulfur trioxide conversion rate. Currently, the internal deformation of the cylinder caused by complex flue gas flow field and sudden changes in heat load has become a key bottleneck restricting the adaptability to high-concentration, large-volume flue gas and the long-term operation of the equipment. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stable internal support structure for a chemical acid pre-converter. This support structure stabilizes the internal support of the pre-converter, effectively preventing deformation of the steel structure support inside the cylinder due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures. This prevents deformation that could compromise the internal stability of the cylinder, leading to problems such as tilting or collapse of the steel grating, damage to the catalyst layer, and reduced conversion efficiency.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An internal support structure for a stabilized chemical acid production pre-converter includes a large column, small columns, L-shaped support rods, an annular steel plate, a cylindrical sleeve, and a circular steel base plate. The circular steel base plate is fixedly installed on the bottom steel plate of the lower gas chamber of the pre-converter. The cylindrical sleeve is fixedly installed on the circular steel base plate. The top of the large column is fixedly installed on the top steel plate of the pre-converter, and the lower end is suspended inside the cylindrical sleeve. The L-shaped support rod is installed upside down, with the bottom of its vertical beam fixedly installed on the circular steel base plate outside the cylindrical sleeve, and the horizontal beam of the L-shaped support rod pointing towards the large column. The annular steel plate is fixedly installed on the large column and located between the horizontal beam of the L-shaped support rod and the top of the cylindrical sleeve. At least three small columns are provided, evenly distributed on the outside of the circular steel base plate. The bottom of the small columns is fixedly installed on the bottom steel plate of the lower gas chamber of the pre-converter, and the top supports the steel grating of the pre-converter.
[0005] In this invention, a large column is suspended, and a cylindrical sleeve is added to the bottom of the large column as a movable limiter to prevent deformation of the pre-converter base plate when the large column deforms and moves upward. A ring-shaped steel plate is installed on the large column, and L-shaped support rods are installed around the large column, with the crossbeams of the L-shaped support rods intersecting the ring-shaped steel plate, leaving an expansion distance in the middle to restrict the upward movement space of the large column. Several small columns are erected around the large column to replace the original large column and serve as supports for the steel grating. The circular steel base plate needs to be installed on the bottom support beam of the pre-converter to provide sufficient support.
[0006] This invention further illustrates that at least two L-shaped support rods are provided, evenly distributed on the outer side of the cylindrical sleeve. The crossbeams of the L-shaped support rods are evenly distributed above the annular steel plate, which can effectively limit the movement of the annular steel plate.
[0007] This invention further illustrates that the outer surface of the cylindrical sleeve is also provided with a triangular steel plate. The triangular steel plate connects the cylindrical sleeve to the circular steel base plate, improving the stability of the cylindrical sleeve.
[0008] This utility model further illustrates that the vertical distance between the bottom end of the large column and the upper edge of the cylindrical sleeve is 150-200mm; the vertical distance between the bottom surface of the annular steel plate and the upper edge of the cylindrical sleeve is 100-200mm; and the vertical distance between the top surface of the annular steel plate and the crossbeam of the L-shaped support rod is 30-50mm. By limiting the reasonable gap distance, effective expansion space can be reserved for the expansion and upward movement of the large column.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model restricts the lateral deformation of the large column. The large column only deforms within the limited space of the bottom limiter, without causing significant disturbance to the middle steel grid layer, thus protecting the stability of the steel grid layer and reducing the probability of catalyst collapse.
[0010] 2. This utility model restricts the longitudinal deformation of the large column. The upward deformation space of the large column is limited to the expansion distance between the upper crossbeam of the L-shaped support and the annular steel plate. This ensures that the longitudinal deformation of the large column does not affect the bottom steel plate of the air chamber, thus guaranteeing the flatness of the bottom steel plate of the air chamber and improving the stability of each supporting column (large column and small column) of the air chamber.
[0011] 3. This utility model separates the large column from the steel grid, and the steel grid is supported by the newly added small column, which greatly reduces the impact of the deformation of the large column on the steel grid. Attached Figure Description
