Along with the maximization day by day of Chemical Manufacture, large diameter tower and reactor continue to bring out, rice surplus the diameter that has has reached ten.Tower and reactor for major diameter (φ is more than 2000), in case the air inlet initial distribution is inhomogeneous, mass transfer, heat transfer and reaction effect in the equipment certainly will be influenced, pulsation and temperature runaway, the partial penetration of beds and the decline significantly of inactivation and knockout tower mass-transfer efficiency of gas-liquid reactor can be caused when serious.Therefore, both at home and abroad the research and development of chemical industry equipment air inlet initial distribution are rather paid attention in recent years, developed the straight pipe with holes formula, multiple air inlet initial distribution devices such as straight tube baffle-type, tangential bugle formula, single tangential circulation type, biserial vane type.But the distribution of gas effect of these distributors is all undesirable, drawback such as also existing of having, pressure drop height, entrainment be serious.In order further to strengthen the distribution effect of gas, Glitsch company has developed two inlets circulation type air inlet distributor, and its version is seen Fig. 1, and remain but use the result to show: the tower central gas stream is on the high side; Huan Tabi district air-flow is on the low side, and the air-flow wraparound easily stirs the tower bottom liquid layer deficiencies such as forming serious entrainment when flowing.University Of Tianjin has developed radiant type air inlet distributor in the recent period, and its version is seen Fig. 2, though this distributor can make distribution of gas comparatively even, but pressure drop is big, complex structure, and cost is higher, and when being entrained with liquid phase in the gas phase, it is comparatively difficult to realize that gas-liquid is separated.
The purpose of this utility model is, provides that a kind of pressure drop is little, distribution of gas is effective, gas-liquid is shunted mutually easily, can be eliminated entrainment, and cone spiral-flow type gas distributor simple in structure.
The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:
A kind of cone spiral-flow type air inlet distributor that is used for tower and reactor, it is based on as shown in Figure 3 thin-walled frustum, frustum is concentric with knockout tower or reactor apparatus, the major diameter of frustum is similar to device diameters, satisfy matching requirements, angle α=20~75 of the conical surface and equipment axis °, preferred α=30~60 °.The frustum height H was both relevant with tower diameter D, and was relevant with the air inlet pipe diameter d again, general H=(0.3~1.5) D, preferred H=(0.4~1.0) D, H=(0.5~10) d.Upper and lower end face of frustum and equipment axis normal, the external diameter of larger diameter end is slightly less than the equipment internal diameter, and the needs that equipment is installed should be satisfied in the gap between the two.
Have several along the circumferential direction uniform gas passages on the conical surface.The quantity of general gas passage is 3~24, and preferred quantity is 5~12, needs to decide according to device diameters and air inflow.Gas passage can be rectangle, trapezoidal or parallelogram etc.Channel width direction is consistent with circumferencial direction, width L=(0.1~0.5) d, and preferred value is L=(0.15~0.25) d, when passage was trapezoidal, width L referred to the mean value at the trapezoidal upper and lower end, angle β=60~90 of base and waist °.The high h=of passage (0.2~0.9) H, preferred value is h=(0.4~0.8) H, needs to determine according to the situation of air inflow.On all or part of passage, be provided with deflector, when part is provided with, the ratio that has or not deflector can be 1: 2,1: 1,2: 1, the setting of deflector should be along the circumferential direction uniform, when the gas passage quantity ratio that is provided with and is not provided with deflector is 2: 1, it is one group that Ying Yiyou---nothing---has three gas passages of deflector, and each group is along the circumferential direction uniform.Deflector can be a rectangle, trapezoidal or by rammed circular arc of rectangle etc.Deflector height h
1Equate width L with h
1=(0.8~1.5) L, preferred value is L
1=(0.9~1.2) L often gets L
1=L.The connected mode of deflector and gas passage is seen Fig. 4.Its manufacture method is: when opening gas passage on frustum, keep a certain longitudinal edge and do not cut, turnover and form the deflector of required angle in frustum then; After also deflector can being made separately, welding (or bonding etc.) on a certain long limit of gas passage.Angle γ=20~70 of deflector and fillet tangent plane °, preferred γ=30~60 °.Deflector is along the setting of (or contrary) clockwise, and concrete form is seen Fig. 4.
The material of gas distributor can be metallic plate, engineering plastics or Inorganic Non-metallic Materials.When using metallic plate, can put in order coiled sheet plate weldering system, or adopt the piecemeal welding to make.Distribution of gas and redistributor when the utility model can be used as equipment top, middle part and bottom air inlet, when being used as the use of air inlet distributor, the center line of the gas passage of certain band water conservancy diversion plate washer along short transverse should be aimed in the air inlet pipe axle center.When gas upwards flowed, the larger diameter end of frustum was last, and sawtooth 2 can be opened in the lower edge of frustum smaller diameter end, the general high H of sawtooth
1=(0~0.3) d or H
1=(0~0.2) H.The gear tip clearance of sawtooth is apart from S=(0.5~2) H
1, uniform along this end face circumferencial direction.When gas flowed downward, larger diameter end was then following.The frustum larger diameter end should be fixed with equipment wall surface, with 3~12 bearing diagonals distributor and equipment are fixed with one under the principle of gas passage avoiding, bearing diagonal one end links to each other with the distributor middle part, the other end is fixed on the appts wall, with the angle of equipment wall surface be 30~45 °, support along the circumferential direction uniform.Also can 3~12 bearings be set in the distributor bottom in case of necessity, bearing is along the circumferential direction uniform, except that the effect with support distribution device, also can make positioning action to distributor.When using base, the distributor top is provided with a plurality of along the circumferential direction uniform location-plates.
Cone circulation type gas distributor of the present utility model has following characteristics:
1. most of gas evenly enters in the distributor along the distributor periphery, utilizes the flaring structure of runner to make gas uniform on whole cross section, and does not have the fluid flow dead of distributors such as two inlets circulation type, and the distribution of gas is effective.
2. when gas upwards flows, lower from the distributor smaller diameter end gas flow rate upwards of turning back, thereby can not cause bottom liquid is not stirred the phenomenon that causes entrainment.
3. for the liquid phase of carrying secretly in the air inlet, there is small part to fling,, assembles the back and fall because effect of inertia impinges upon on the deflector to the gas passage of being with the water conservancy diversion plate washer.The liquid phase of collection at large tangentially enters in the distributor with air-flow, flow section enlarges behind the distributor because of gas enters, axially and radially the equal flow speed value in the air inlet pipe of flow velocity has bigger room and time to make drop carry out gravity in air-flow and separates with centrifugal sedimentation; Most of fluid at first will turn to along the limit wall and flow, and the part drop is got rid of to wall by centrifugal force, and part impinges upon the distributor outer wall and is captured.The drop that the end is captured is when entering the gas passage of band deflector, and situation is identical with aforementioned analysis.When entering the gas passage of not being with deflector, owing to be along wall stream into, and be subjected to the fluid impact of the inlet channel of contiguous band deflector, can not fling, but flow and realize that gas-liquid is separated with other fluid to equipment center.Simultaneously, the different fluid of multiply flow direction collides mutually the droplet polymerization is grown up, and gas phase kinetic energy loses the whereabouts separation that also helps drop in collision.For above-mentioned reasons, the gas mist entrainment of this distributor is very little.
4. not with the gas passage of deflector, played preventing that gas from excessively rotating along wall, and generation is big along limit wall flow, along the little situation of center flow, the axial flow velocity that has further improved gas distributes.
5. because gas passage area is big, flow process is short, and behind the gas access arrangement all with the shunting of changing direction gradually of the mode of guiding, and the mode of employing flaring is extended to whole cross section gradually, so pressure drop is low, energy consumption is little.
6. this distributor is simple in structure, materials are few, manufacturing is easy to maintenance, cost is low.
