Definitions
- the invention relates to a pump for conveying a heat exchange medium for a contact tube bundle reactor, and to a use of the pump.
- the usual type of contact tube bundle reactors consists of a generally cylindrical container in which a bundle, i. a plurality of contact tubes in usually vertical arrangement is housed.
- These catalyst tubes which may optionally contain supported catalysts, are sealingly secured with their ends in tube sheets and open into a respectively connected at the top and at the bottom of the container hood.
- a heat exchange fluid circuit is passed through the space surrounding the catalyst tubes to balance the heat balance, especially in reactions of high heat of reaction.
- the heat exchange medium cycle it is known to realize a substantially homogeneous temperature distribution of the heat exchange medium in each horizontal section of the reactor in order to involve all the catalyst tubes equally in the reaction process (eg DE-B-16 01 162 ).
- the smoothing of the temperature distribution is the heat supply or heat dissipation via each attached to the reactor ends outer ring lines with a plurality of shell openings, as for example in DE-B-34 09 159 are described.
- a further improvement of the heat transfer is achieved by the installation of deflection plates, which leave a passage cross section alternately in the reactor center and at the reactor edge.
- deflection plates which leave a passage cross section alternately in the reactor center and at the reactor edge.
- Such an arrangement is particularly suitable for annularly arranged tube bundles with a free central space and, for example GB-B-31 01 75 known.
- the deflection pulleys lead to a transverse flow of the catalyst tubes, with the result of an increase in the flow rates and the heat transfer.
- the pumping system is disposed between the upper and lower ring conduits, the heat exchange medium being supplied to the lower portion of the reactor, for example via a loop.
- the required head of 4 to 5 m would require a technically unfavorable and failure-prone pumping system, including because of complex pump shaft seals, longer pump shafts, and greater heat input through the pump shaft in the under engine storage. Furthermore, the above head would require a raised brine equalization tank, which is undesirable for safety reasons. The complete pump pressure would be applied to the shaft seal.
- the DC flow has advantages over the countercurrent flow, such as higher flow rates, lower catalyst hot spot temperatures, desirable increase in the heat exchange medium temperature toward the final reaction in the catalyst tubes, good temperature uniformity of the heat exchange medium across the reactor cross-section, d. H. good horizontal temperature stratification, clear operating conditions over the height of the contact tube space due to lack of feedback through the heat exchange medium.
- the heat transfer medium is supplied to the outer lower ring line, which is connected via a region between the upper and lower ring line to the inner upper ring line, passed from here in a known manner via shell openings in the space surrounding the catalyst tubes, wherein a meandering flow is formed via deflection disks.
- the heat transfer medium leaves via shell openings the space surrounding the catalyst tubes in the lower part of the reactor and enters the lower inner ring line. This in turn is connected via the area between the upper and lower ring line and with the upper outer ring line.
- Out JP / A 59 138 794 is a circulation pump with a deflection of the liquid flow in the pump housing for the purpose of shortening the pump length, the pump weight described.
- the liquid flow is sucked in the lower area of the pump housing, via nozzles, deflected by baffles, passed down an impeller through an inner guide tube and discharged via a lower opening.
- the solution is based on a pump with a Pumpenleitrohr for promoting a heat exchange means for a reactor with a bundle of contact tubes with vertically arranged longitudinal axis, with supply of the heat exchange medium in the upper region of the reactor and removal of the heat exchange medium from the lower region of the reactor, preferably above each a ring line.
- the invention is characterized in that the pump has a housing which encloses the Pumpenleitrohr, with an opening in the lower part of the housing, via which withdrawn from the lower region of the reactor by means of the pump heat exchange medium flows into the housing, flows in the area between the inner wall of the housing and the outer wall of the Pumpenleitrohrs, optionally via a heat exchanger, upwards, flows through an opening in the upper portion of the Pumpenleitrohrs in the interior of the Pumpenleitrohrs, flows through from top to bottom and over an opening in the lower portion of the Pumpenleitrohrs flows into the reactor, in the upper region of the gap between the catalyst tubes.
- the invention is not limited with regard to the configuration of the supply and removal of the heat exchange medium from the reactor. These can preferably take place via a respective ring line. However, other flow guides are also possible, for example via contact tube-free spaces lying opposite one another in the reactor space, as in connection with reactor modules with a rectangular cross section in FIG DE-A 198 57 842 described.
- the heat exchange medium flows through the opening in the lower portion of the Pumpenleitrohrs in a further space between the inner wall of the housing and the outer wall of the Pumpenleitrohrs, flows through this gap from bottom to top and finally flows through an opening in the upper region in the Reactor, in the upper region of the gap between the catalyst tubes.
- the pump is arranged higher, such that it conveys the heat exchange medium directly, preferably via an upper ring line, into a reactor with a bundle of contact tubes into the intermediate space between the contact tubes.
- vent lines from the upper region of the reactor are advantageously provided in the pump. If a plurality of vent lines are provided, they are in particular arranged symmetrically distributed over the circumference of the reactor and brought together before feeding to the pump in a manifold.
- the vent line (s) can (for example) as a nozzle on the reactor jacket, a short distance below the upper tube sheet or as holes in the tube sheet itself, which lead from the reactor interior to the outside of the reactor, be formed.
- the vent line (s) is (are) preferably along the outer wall of the pump housing, in particular in the immediate vicinity thereof, led upwards. This embodiment is thermally advantageous because it requires no additional external heating for the heat transfer medium.
- vent line (s) may be configured as needed to open in the pump below or above the liquid level in the same.
- a pump is thus provided with a housing, which causes a deflection of the funded by the pump heat exchange medium flow.
- the pump according to the invention is preferably a propeller pump, in particular with a propeller with three or more blades.
- the propeller pump delivers the desired liquid, in this case a heat exchange medium, for example a salt melt or a heat transfer oil, by means of the propeller, which rotates in the pump guide tube.
- the propeller preferably has a gap spacing in the range of 2 to 10 mm to the pump guide tube. In this case, a promotion of the liquid in Pumpenleitrohr from top to bottom is required, otherwise otherwise sealing problems occur.
- the Pumpenleitrohr is usually a propeller enclosing hollow cylinder.
- a housing is provided around the pump guide tube, which encloses the pump guide tube and which, in conjunction with openings provided in suitable locations in the pump guide tube, is designed such that it effects a deflection of the heat exchange medium flow in the pump.
- the housing has in its lower region an opening into which the withdrawn from the reactor heat exchange medium is passed in an area between Pumpenleitrohr and the inner wall of the housing upwards, flows through an opening in the upper region of the Pumpenleitrohrs in the interior of the Pumpenleitrohrs , which, as usual, flows through from top to bottom, leaving it through an opening in its lower part and finally fed back to the reactor in its upper region.
- the openings in the Pumpenleitrohr and in the housing do not extend over the entire cross-sectional area of the Pumpenleitrohrs or the housing, but only about 20 to 50%, preferably about about 30% thereof.
- the reduced area, ie the opening, can be stabilized by suitable bracing. It is also possible to realize the openings in the pump guide tube or in the housing in such a way that the pump guide tube or housing is formed by a perforated plate in the corresponding areas is or has slots.
- guide plates for the heat exchange medium are arranged in one or more deflection regions of the housing.
- a guide vane equipped with vanes is arranged below the propeller in order to remove the swirl from the flow.
- the Nachleitapparat is preferably designed such that its flow cross-section corresponds to the flow-through cross-section in the region of the propeller.
- a pin is provided at the lower end of the pump shaft, which rotates in a bearing.
- the propeller can be operated at a greater peripheral speed, the gap width between the propeller and the inner wall of the pump guide tube can be reduced, the pump runs more precisely and is maintenance-free, because the upper bearings are loaded less.
- the pump can thus handle a larger volume flow and a larger head. If the pump promotes molten salt as heat transfer medium, the heat transfer medium itself acts lubricating for the bearing.
- the bearing can additionally be reinforced with tungsten carbide steel.
- the pump according to the invention is particularly suitable for promoting the heat exchange medium flow for contact tube bundle reactors for carrying out exothermic or endothermic reactions, in particular of oxidation reactions.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Pumpe zur Förderung eines Wärmetauschmittels für einen Kontaktrohrbündelreaktor, sowie eine Verwendung der Pumpe.The invention relates to a pump for conveying a heat exchange medium for a contact tube bundle reactor, and to a use of the pump.
Die übliche Bauart von Kontaktrohrbündelreaktoren besteht aus einem, in der Regel zylinderförmigen Behälter, in dem ein Bündel, d.h. eine Vielzahl von Kontaktrohren in üblicherweise vertikaler Anordnung untergebracht ist. Diese Kontaktrohre, die gegebenenfalls geträgerte Katalysatoren enthalten können, sind mit ihren Enden in Rohrböden abdichtend befestigt und münden in jeweils eine am oberen bzw. am unteren Ende mit dem Behälter verbundene Haube. Über diese Hauben wird das die Kontaktrohre durchströmende Reaktionsgemisch zu- bzw. abgeführt. Durch den die Kontaktrohre umgebenden Raum wird ein Wärmetauschmittelkreislauf geleitet, um die Wärmebilanz, insbesondere bei Reaktionen mit starker Wärmetönung, auszugleichen.The usual type of contact tube bundle reactors consists of a generally cylindrical container in which a bundle, i. a plurality of contact tubes in usually vertical arrangement is housed. These catalyst tubes, which may optionally contain supported catalysts, are sealingly secured with their ends in tube sheets and open into a respectively connected at the top and at the bottom of the container hood. About these hoods the reaction tubes flowing through the reaction mixture is added or removed. A heat exchange fluid circuit is passed through the space surrounding the catalyst tubes to balance the heat balance, especially in reactions of high heat of reaction.
Bezüglich des Wärmetauschmittelkreislaufs ist es bekannt, in jedem waagerechten Schnitt des Reaktors eine weitgehend homogene Temperaturverteilung des Wärmetauschmittels zu realisieren, um möglichst alle Kontaktrohre gleichmäßig am Reaktionsgeschehen zu beteiligen (z.B.
Eine weitere Verbesserung des Wärmeüberganges wird durch den Einbau von Umlenkscheiben erreicht, die abwechselnd in der Reaktormitte und am Reaktorrand einen Durchtrittsquerschnitt freilassen. Eine derartige Anordnung ist insbesondere für ringförmig angeordnete Rohrbündel mit einem freien zentralen Raum geeignet und beispielsweise aus
In großen Reaktoren mit einer Zahl von Kontaktrohren im Bereich von etwa 10000 bis 50000, insbesondere von etwa 15000 bis 33000, die zusätzlich mit Umlenkscheiben ausgestattet sind, ist der Druckverlust des Wärmetauschmittels vergleichsweise sehr groß.In large reactors with a number of contact tubes in the range of about 10,000 to 50,000, in particular from about 15,000 to 33,000, which are additionally equipped with deflection plates, the pressure loss of the heat exchange medium is comparatively very large.
Zweckmäßigerweise wird bei derartigen Reaktoren das Pumpsystem zwischen der oberen und der unteren Ringleitung angeordnet, wobei das Wärmetauschmittel in den unteren Bereich des Reaktors, beispielsweise über eine Ringleitung, zugeführt wird.Conveniently, in such reactors, the pumping system is disposed between the upper and lower ring conduits, the heat exchange medium being supplied to the lower portion of the reactor, for example via a loop.
Würde die Salzschmelze direkt in den oberen Reaktorteil oder die obere Ringleitung gepumpt werden, so würde die erforderliche Förderhöhe von 4 bis 5 m ein technisch ungünstiges und störanfälliges Pumpsystem erfordern, unter anderem wegen aufwendiger Pumpenwellenabdichtungen, längerer Pumpenwellen, sowie größerem Wärmeeintrag durch die Pumpenwelle in die unter Motorlagerung. Weiterhin würde die obengenannte Förderhöhe ein hochgestelltes Salzschmelze-Ausgleichsgefäß erfordern, das aus Sicherheitsgründen unerwünscht ist. Der komplette Pumpendruck würde an der Wellenabdichtung anliegen.If the molten salt pumped directly into the upper part of the reactor or the upper loop, the required head of 4 to 5 m would require a technically unfavorable and failure-prone pumping system, including because of complex pump shaft seals, longer pump shafts, and greater heat input through the pump shaft in the under engine storage. Furthermore, the above head would require a raised brine equalization tank, which is undesirable for safety reasons. The complete pump pressure would be applied to the shaft seal.
Die Zuführung des Wärmetauschmittels am oberen Reaktorende, d. h. im Gleichstrom mit dem ebenfalls am oberen Reaktorende in die Kontaktrohre zugeleiteten Reaktionsgemisch ist bekanntermaßen für die Reaktionsführung vorteilhaft (vgl.
Die Gleichstromführung hat gegenüber der Gegenstromfahrweise Vorteile, wie höhere Durchsätze, niedrigere Katalysator-Hotspot-Temperaturen, erwünschter Anstieg der Wärmetauschmitteltemperatur in Richtung der Endreaktion in den Kontaktrohren, gute Temperaturgleichförmigkeit des Wärmetauschmittels über den Reaktorquerschnitt, d. h. gute waagerechte Temperaturschichtung, eindeutige Betriebszustände über die Höhe des Kontaktrohrraumes wegen fehlender Rückkoppelung durch das Wärmetauschmittel.The DC flow has advantages over the countercurrent flow, such as higher flow rates, lower catalyst hot spot temperatures, desirable increase in the heat exchange medium temperature toward the final reaction in the catalyst tubes, good temperature uniformity of the heat exchange medium across the reactor cross-section, d. H. good horizontal temperature stratification, clear operating conditions over the height of the contact tube space due to lack of feedback through the heat exchange medium.

Demgegenüber war es Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine weitere, insbesondere fertigungstechnisch einfachere Lösung für das Problem, dass das Wärmetauschmittel zwar mit üblicher Pumpenanordnung, das heißt mit Förderung nach unten, eingesetzt wird, wobei dennoch der Eintritt des Wärmetauschmittels in den Zwischenraum zwischen den Kontaktrohren eines vertikal aufrechtstehenden Kontaktrohrbündelreaktors im oberen Bereich desselben erfolgen soll. Die genannte Problematik soll in einfacher Weise, insbesondere ohne Veränderungen am Kontaktrohrbündelreaktor selbst, gelöst werden.In contrast, it was an object of the invention, a further, in particular manufacturing technology simpler solution to the problem that the heat exchange medium, although with conventional pump assembly, that is with promotion down, is used, yet the entry of the heat exchange medium in the space between the contact tubes of a vertical upright contact tube bundle reactor in the upper region thereof should take place. The above problem should be solved in a simple manner, in particular without changes to the contact tube bundle reactor itself.
Die Lösung geht aus von einer Pumpe mit einem Pumpenleitrohr zur Förderung eines Wärmetauschmittels für einen Reaktor mit einem Bündel von Kontaktrohren mit vertikal angeordneter Längsachse, mit Zuführung des Wärmetauschmittels im oberen Bereich des Reaktors und Abführung des Wärmetauschmittels aus dem unteren Bereich des Reaktors, bevorzugt über jeweils eine Ringleitung.The solution is based on a pump with a Pumpenleitrohr for promoting a heat exchange means for a reactor with a bundle of contact tubes with vertically arranged longitudinal axis, with supply of the heat exchange medium in the upper region of the reactor and removal of the heat exchange medium from the lower region of the reactor, preferably above each a ring line.
Die Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Pumpe ein Gehäuse aufweist, das das Pumpenleitrohr umschließt, mit einer Öffnung im unteren Teil des Gehäuses, über die das aus dem unteren Bereich des Reaktors mittels der Pumpe abgezogene Wärmetauschmittel in das Gehäuse einströmt, im Bereich zwischen der Innenwand des Gehäuses und der Außenwand des Pumpenleitrohrs, gegebenenfalls über einen Wärmetauscher, nach oben strömt, über eine Öffnung im oberen Bereich des Pumpenleitrohrs in den Innenraum des Pumpenleitrohrs einströmt, diesen von oben nach unten durchströmt und über eine Öffnung im unteren Bereich des Pumpenleitrohrs in den Reaktor, in den oberen Bereich des Zwischenraums zwischen den Kontaktrohren einströmt.The invention is characterized in that the pump has a housing which encloses the Pumpenleitrohr, with an opening in the lower part of the housing, via which withdrawn from the lower region of the reactor by means of the pump heat exchange medium flows into the housing, flows in the area between the inner wall of the housing and the outer wall of the Pumpenleitrohrs, optionally via a heat exchanger, upwards, flows through an opening in the upper portion of the Pumpenleitrohrs in the interior of the Pumpenleitrohrs, flows through from top to bottom and over an opening in the lower portion of the Pumpenleitrohrs flows into the reactor, in the upper region of the gap between the catalyst tubes.
Die Erfindung ist nicht eingeschränkt bezüglich der Ausgestaltung der Zu- bzw. Abführung des Wärmetauschmittels aus dem Reaktor. Diese können bevorzugt über jeweils eine Ringleitung erfolgen. Möglich sind jedoch auch andere Strömungsführungen, beispielsweise über einander im Reaktorraum gegenüberliegende kontaklrohrfreie Räume, wie in Verbindung mit Reaktormodulen mit rechteckigem Querschnitt in
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform strömt das Wärmetauschmittel über die Öffnung im unteren Bereich des Pumpenleitrohrs in einen weiteren Zwischenraum zwischen der Innenwand des Gehäuses und der Außenwand des Pumpenleitrohrs ein, durchströmt diesen Zwischenraum von unten nach oben und strömt schließlich über eine Öffnung in dessen oberen Bereich in den Reaktor ein, in den oberen Bereich des Zwischenraums zwischen den Kontaktrohren.In a preferred embodiment, the heat exchange medium flows through the opening in the lower portion of the Pumpenleitrohrs in a further space between the inner wall of the housing and the outer wall of the Pumpenleitrohrs, flows through this gap from bottom to top and finally flows through an opening in the upper region in the Reactor, in the upper region of the gap between the catalyst tubes.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante ist die Pumpe höher angeordnet, dergestalt, dass sie das Wärmetauschmittel unmittelbar, bevorzugt über eine obere Ringleitung, in einen Reaktor mit einem Bündel von Kontaktrohren, in den Zwischenraum zwischen den Kontaktrohren fördert.In a further preferred embodiment variant, the pump is arranged higher, such that it conveys the heat exchange medium directly, preferably via an upper ring line, into a reactor with a bundle of contact tubes into the intermediate space between the contact tubes.
In dieser Ausführungsvariante sind vorteilhaft eine oder mehrere Entlüftungsleitungen aus dem oberen Bereich des Reaktors in die Pumpe vorgesehen. Sofern mehrere Entlüftungsleitungen vorgesehen sind, sind dieselben über den Reaktorumfang insbesondere symmetrisch verteilt angeordnet und vor der Zuführung zur Pumpe in einer Sammelleitung zusammengeführt. Die Entlüftungsleitung(en) kann (können) beispielsweise als Stutzen am Reaktormantel, in geringem Abstand unterhalb des oberen Rohrbodens oder als Bohrungen im Rohrboden selbst, die aus dem Reaktorinnenraum nach außerhalb des Reaktors führen, ausgebildet sein. Die Entlüftungsleitung(en) wird (werden) vorzugsweise entlang der Außenwand des Pumpengehäuses, insbesondere in unmittelbarer Nähe derselben, nach oben geführt. Diese Ausführungsform ist wärmetechnisch vorteilhaft, da sie keine zusätzliche Fremdbeheizung für das Wärmetauschmittel erfordert.In this embodiment, one or more vent lines from the upper region of the reactor are advantageously provided in the pump. If a plurality of vent lines are provided, they are in particular arranged symmetrically distributed over the circumference of the reactor and brought together before feeding to the pump in a manifold. The vent line (s) can (for example) as a nozzle on the reactor jacket, a short distance below the upper tube sheet or as holes in the tube sheet itself, which lead from the reactor interior to the outside of the reactor, be formed. The vent line (s) is (are) preferably along the outer wall of the pump housing, in particular in the immediate vicinity thereof, led upwards. This embodiment is thermally advantageous because it requires no additional external heating for the heat transfer medium.
Die Entlüftungsleitung(en) kann (können) nach Bedarf dergestalt ausgebildet sein, dass sie in der Pumpe unterhalb oder oberhalb des Flüssigkeitsspiegels in derselben mündet (münden).The vent line (s) may be configured as needed to open in the pump below or above the liquid level in the same.
Erfindungsgemäß wird somit eine Pumpe mit einem Gehäuse zur Verfügung gestellt, das eine Umlenkung des durch die Pumpe geförderten Wärmetauschmittelstromes bewirkt.According to the invention, a pump is thus provided with a housing, which causes a deflection of the funded by the pump heat exchange medium flow.
Die erfindungsgemäße Pumpe ist bevorzugt eine Propellerpumpe, insbesondere mit einem Propeller mit drei oder mehreren Flügeln.The pump according to the invention is preferably a propeller pump, in particular with a propeller with three or more blades.
Zur Förderung von flüssigen Wärmetauschmitteln, häufig von Salzschmelzen, für die Zu- oder Abführung der Reaktionswärme aus Kontaktrohrbündekeaktoren werden Axialförderpumpen, häufig Propellerpumpen, eingesetzt. Die Propellerpumpe fördert die gewünschte Flüssigkeit, vorliegend ein Wärmetauschmittel, zum Beispiel eine Salzschmelze oder ein Wärmeträgeröl, mittels des Propellers, der sich im Pumpenleitrohr dreht. Der Propeller weist zum Pumpenleitrohr bevorzugt einen Spaltabstand im Bereich von 2 bis 10 mm auf. Dabei ist eine Förderung der Flüssigkeit im Pumpenleitrohr von oben nach unten erforderlich, weil andernfalls insbesondere Abdichtungsprobleme auftreten. Das Pumpenleitrohr ist in der Regel ein den Propeller umschließender Hohlzylinder.To promote liquid heat exchange means, often of molten salts, for the supply or removal of the heat of reaction from Kontaktrohrbündekeaktoren Axialförderpumpen, often propeller pumps are used. The propeller pump delivers the desired liquid, in this case a heat exchange medium, for example a salt melt or a heat transfer oil, by means of the propeller, which rotates in the pump guide tube. The propeller preferably has a gap spacing in the range of 2 to 10 mm to the pump guide tube. In this case, a promotion of the liquid in Pumpenleitrohr from top to bottom is required, otherwise otherwise sealing problems occur. The Pumpenleitrohr is usually a propeller enclosing hollow cylinder.
Vorliegend ist um das Pumpenleitrohr herum ein Gehäuse vorgesehen, das das Pumpenleitrohr umschließt und das, in Verbindung mit an geeigneten Stellen im Pumpenleitrohr vorgesehenen Öffnungen, dergestalt ausgebildet ist, dass es eine Umlenkung des Wärmetauschmittelstromes in der Pumpe bewirkt.In the present case, a housing is provided around the pump guide tube, which encloses the pump guide tube and which, in conjunction with openings provided in suitable locations in the pump guide tube, is designed such that it effects a deflection of the heat exchange medium flow in the pump.
Hierzu weist das Gehäuse in seinem unteren Bereich eine Öffnung auf, in die das aus dem Reaktor abgezogene Wärmetauschmittel einströmt, in einem Bereich zwischen Pumpenleitrohr und Innenwand des Gehäuses nach oben geleitet wird, über eine Öffnung im oberen Bereich des Pumpenleitrohrs in den Innenraum des Pumpenleitrohrs einströmt, diesen, wie üblich, von oben nach unten durchströmt, ihn über eine Öffnung in seinem unteren Bereich verlässt und schließlich dem Reaktor in seinem oberen Bereich erneut zugeführt wird.For this purpose, the housing has in its lower region an opening into which the withdrawn from the reactor heat exchange medium is passed in an area between Pumpenleitrohr and the inner wall of the housing upwards, flows through an opening in the upper region of the Pumpenleitrohrs in the interior of the Pumpenleitrohrs , which, as usual, flows through from top to bottom, leaving it through an opening in its lower part and finally fed back to the reactor in its upper region.
Die Öffnungen im Pumpenleitrohr sowie im Gehäuse erstrecken sich nicht über die gesamte Querschnittsfläche des Pumpenleitrohrs bzw. des Gehäuses, sondern lediglich über etwa 20 bis 50 %, bevorzugt über etwa 30 % derselben. Der reduzierte Bereich, d. h. die Öffnung, kann durch geeignete Verstrebungen stabilisiert werden.. Es ist auch möglich, die Öffnungen im Pumpenleitrohr bzw. im Gehäuse in der Weise zu realisieren, dass in den entsprechenden Bereichen das Pumpenleitrohr bzw. das Gehäuse durch ein Lochblech gebildet wird, oder Schlitze aufweist.The openings in the Pumpenleitrohr and in the housing do not extend over the entire cross-sectional area of the Pumpenleitrohrs or the housing, but only about 20 to 50%, preferably about about 30% thereof. The reduced area, ie the opening, can be stabilized by suitable bracing. It is also possible to realize the openings in the pump guide tube or in the housing in such a way that the pump guide tube or housing is formed by a perforated plate in the corresponding areas is or has slots.
Das Gehäuse kann fertigungstechnisch einfach mit rechteckigem Querschnitt ausgebildet sein, es ist jedoch auch möglich, insbesondere für höhere Druckbelastungen, das Gehäuse mit kreisförmigem Querschnitt auszubilden.However, it is also possible, particularly for higher pressure loads, to design the housing with a circular cross-section.
Bevorzugt sind in einem oder mehreren Umlenkbereichen des Gehäuses Leitbleche für das Wärmetauschmittel angeordnet.Preferably, guide plates for the heat exchange medium are arranged in one or more deflection regions of the housing.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante ist unterhalb des Propellers ein mit Schaufeln bestückter Nachleitapparat angeordnet, um den Drall aus der Strömung herauszunehmen. Der Nachleitapparat ist bevorzugt dergestalt ausgebildet, dass sein durchströmter Querschnitt dem durchströmten Querschnitt im Bereich des Propellers entspricht.In a preferred embodiment variant, a guide vane equipped with vanes is arranged below the propeller in order to remove the swirl from the flow. The Nachleitapparat is preferably designed such that its flow cross-section corresponds to the flow-through cross-section in the region of the propeller.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante ist am unteren Ende der Pumpenwelle ein Zapfen vorgesehen, der sich in einem Lager dreht. Dadurch kann der Propeller mit größerer Umfangsgeschwindigkeit betrieben werden, die Spaltbreite zwischen Propeller und Innenwand des Pumpenleitrohrs kann reduziert werden, die Pumpe läuft präziser und ist wartungsfreier, weil die oberen Läger weniger belastet werden. Die Pumpe kann somit einen größeren Volumenstrom und eine größere Förderhöhe bewältigen. Sofern die Pumpe als Wärmetauschmittel eine Salzschmelze fördert, wirkt das Wärmetauschmittel selbst für das Lager schmierend. Das Lager kann zusätzlich mit Wolfram-Carbid-Stahl verstärkt sein.In a preferred embodiment, a pin is provided at the lower end of the pump shaft, which rotates in a bearing. As a result, the propeller can be operated at a greater peripheral speed, the gap width between the propeller and the inner wall of the pump guide tube can be reduced, the pump runs more precisely and is maintenance-free, because the upper bearings are loaded less. The pump can thus handle a larger volume flow and a larger head. If the pump promotes molten salt as heat transfer medium, the heat transfer medium itself acts lubricating for the bearing. The bearing can additionally be reinforced with tungsten carbide steel.
Die erfindungsgemäße Pumpe ist besonders geeignet zur Förderung des Wärmetauschmittelstromes für Kontaktrohrbündelreaktoren zur Durchführung exothermen oder endothermen Reaktionen, insbesondere von Oxidationsreaktionen.The pump according to the invention is particularly suitable for promoting the heat exchange medium flow for contact tube bundle reactors for carrying out exothermic or endothermic reactions, in particular of oxidation reactions.
