Condenser Inhibitor Spreader Support for Polymerization Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional condensers handling easily polymerizable compounds face polymerization issues due to the formation of polymerized products on supporters and tube plates, leading to clogging and operational instability, especially when the polymerization inhibitor supply tubes are not adequately supported.
Innovation Solution
A handling device with a condensation part, a spreader for polymerization inhibitors, and a support means for the spreader, where the support means is either outside or inside the condenser, ensuring the polymerization inhibitor is effectively spread to prevent polymerization, with the option to provide additional support inside the condenser if necessary.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a supporter is provided inside the condenser to support the polymerization inhibitor supply tube, then the tube can be supported stably, but condensate forms on the supporter causing polymerization and clogging
Solution Approach 1:
The supporter is extracted from the interior of the condenser and relocated to the exterior. This removes the harmful surface where condensate would form and polymerize, while still providing necessary support for the supply tube through the condenser wall.
Solution Approach 2:
The condenser wall acts as an intermediary structure that allows the supply tube to be supported from the outside without requiring internal supporters. The wall transmits the support function while preventing direct contact between the supporter and condensate.
2Device complexity
If the polymerization inhibitor supply tube is not adequately supported, then the structure remains simple, but the tube vibrates and polymerization occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The support function is extracted from the interior and applied from the exterior, maintaining structural simplicity while ensuring reliable support to prevent tube vibration and polymerization.
3Reliability
If the supporter is provided inside the condenser, then the supply tube can be supported, but the condenser requires complex cleaning and maintenance operations
Solution Approach 1:
The supporter is completely removed from the condenser interior, eliminating the need for cleaning operations inside the condenser while maintaining support functionality through external mounting.

Function Achieved in This Case
This configuration prevents the formation of polymerized products on supporters and tube plates, allowing for stable and continuous operation of condensers for extended periods by ensuring the polymerization inhibitor is evenly distributed and effectively suppresses polymerization, thereby preventing clogging.
Implementation Method 1
a spreader for the condensation part for spreading a polymerization inhibitor on the condensation part
Implementation Method 2

AI summary
A condenser includes: a top face of a tube plate on which acrylic acid may be condensed inside the condenser; a spray for spreading a polymerization inhibitor on the tube plate; a first polymerization inhibitor supply tube for supplying the polymerization inhibitor to the spray; and a supporter for supporting the spray at a predetermined position. The supporter supports the first polymerization inhibitor supply tube outside the condenser. The condenser allows a stable continuous operation for a long period of time by preventing polymerization of an easily polymerizable compound in the condenser into which a vapor of an easily polymerizable compound is supplied with a simple structure thereof.
