Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of petrochemical equipment technology, specifically to a three-dimensional flow distributor. Background Technology
[0002] The cracking furnace is a key device in an ethylene plant. After the raw material is cracked at high temperature in the furnace tubes, it enters the quench heat exchanger for rapid cooling to prevent secondary reactions and recover heat energy to generate high-pressure steam.
[0003] The flat round tube-type quench heat exchanger consists of multiple heat exchange tubes, each composed of an inner tube and an outer tube. The inner tube is concentrically inserted inside the outer tube. The inner tube carries the cracked gas, while the annular gap between the two tubes carries the cooling medium. The bottom ends of the inner and outer tubes are connected to the lower flat round tube, and the top ends are connected to the upper flat round tube. The inner tube passes completely through the flat round tube, while the outer tube does not pass through the flat round tube but is connected to the interior of the flat round tube. The two ends of the upper flat round tube are connected to the upper header, and the two ends of the lower flat round tube are connected to the lower header.
[0004] During operation, the cracked gas enters from the upper gas header, passes through each inner pipe to reach the lower gas header, and the cooling water enters from the lower header and flows through the lower flat round pipe into the annular space between the inner and outer pipes. After exchanging heat with the cracked gas, it becomes a water vapor mixture (saturated steam) and flows into the upper flat round pipe and then to the upper header.
[0005] A similar structure is the pyrolysis gas quench heat exchanger disclosed in Chinese patent document CN2164537Y, which belongs to the category of heat exchange devices. It consists of an upper head, a heat exchange tube bundle, and a lower head. Its main feature is that the lower head comprises multiple guide tubes of varying sizes and lengths, housed within an outer shell and connected by supporting ribs. Flanges are installed at both ends of the outer shell. This design solves the problem of coking in the heat exchange tube bundle, ensuring the smooth operation of ethylene production. Besides its use in modifying existing pyrolysis gas quench heat exchanger structures, it can also be applied to the novel and improved designs of various other heat exchangers, achieving energy efficiency and high performance.
[0006] For example, Chinese patent document CN203053270U discloses a multi-inlet quench heat exchanger for preventing scale corrosion. It mainly consists of an oblong lower head, a lower tube box, a lower header, a lower elliptical manifold, an outer tube, an inner tube, an upper elliptical manifold, an upper header, and an upper tube box. When the lower elliptical manifold is welded to the lower tube box, and the upper elliptical manifold is welded to the upper tube box, the axes of both the upper and lower elliptical manifolds are parallel to the minor axis of the oblong lower head. This multi-inlet quench heat exchanger is particularly suitable for use in ethylene cracking furnaces, effectively preventing scale corrosion at the root of the inner tubes.
[0007] A distributor (flow guide tube) is located inside the lower head to distribute the cracked gas entering from the bottom more evenly. Existing distributors use multiple horizontally arranged rods, with the cracked gas dispersing upwards through the gaps between adjacent rods, and then entering the inner tube of the heat exchanger jacket more evenly. Existing technology also uses flow guide tubes in the form of two nested flow guide tubes.
[0008] Research has found that the existing distributors need further improvement in guiding the flow of cracked gas. Utility Model Content
[0009] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a three-dimensional flow guide distributor.

Support columns are provided between the impact head and the guide ring, and between two adjacent guide rings, so as to fix the impact head and each guide ring to each other at a preset distance; The outer walls of the impact head and the guide ring are arc-shaped.
[0011] As a further alternative, the outer wall of the impact head is an outwardly convex arched arc shape, and the outer wall of the guide ring is an inwardly concave arc shape.
[0012] As a further alternative, the impacted surface of the impact head is enclosed.
[0013] As a further alternative, the outer contour of the impact head is elongated, and the outer contour of the guide ring is elliptical.
[0014] As a further alternative, the outer contour of the impact head is circular, and the outer contour of the guide ring is annular.
[0015] As a further optional solution, a plurality of support columns are provided between the impact head and the guide ring at circumferential intervals, and a plurality of support columns are also provided between two adjacent guide rings at circumferential intervals, thereby forming a multi-layer support column, with adjacent layers of support columns staggered from each other.
[0016] As a further alternative, the outer wall of the support column is flush with the outer wall of the impact head and the guide ring, and / or the outer wall of the support column is flush with the inner wall of the impact head and the guide ring.
[0017] As a further alternative, the impact head, support column, and guide ring are all integrally cast structures.
[0018] As a further alternative, the impact head, support column, and guide ring are assembled by welding them together.
[0019] As a further alternative, the guide ring furthest from the impact head has a mounting lip on its periphery.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model discloses a three-dimensional flow guide distributor. When in use, the fluid impacts the impact head of the distributor. Some of the fluid is impacted and diffuses in all directions, while some of the fluid flows into the flow guide ring along the outer wall of the impact head, or flows to the flow guide ring and continues to diffuse outward under the arc guidance of its outer wall. Compared with the prior art, the fluid is more evenly dispersed after passing through the distributor, thus improving the distribution effect. Attached Figure Description

[0036] In practice, the impact head 1, support column 3, and guide ring 2 are integrally cast structures. Alternatively, the impact head 1, support column 3, and guide ring 2 are welded together.
[0037] In this embodiment, the guide ring 2 furthest from the impact head 1 has a mounting lip 21 on its periphery for fixing to the inner wall of the outer cylinder / head. Specifically, it can be bolted or welded.
