The exchanger tubes are implemented with clearance though the openings in the separator.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wärmetauscher zur Kühlung von Spaltgas mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a heat exchanger for cooling cracked gas having the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Pyrolyse- oder Ethylen-Spaltöfen bilden innerhalb einer Ethylenanlage die Schlüsselkomponenten zur Herstellung der Grundstoffe Ethylen, Propylen, Butadien und andere für die Kunststoff-Industrie. Als Ausgangsstoffe werden gesättigte Kohlenwasserstoffe, hauptsächlich Ethan, Propan, Butan, Erdgas, Naphta oder Gasöl verwendet. Die Umwandlung der gesättigten in die ungesättigten Kohlenwasserstoffe findet in den Spaltrohren des Spaltofens statt, und zwar bei Eintrittstemperaturen von 500 - 680°C und Austrittstemperaturen von 775 - 875°C in einem Druckbereich von 1,5-5 bar.Within an ethylene plant, pyrolysis or ethylene cracking furnaces form the key components for the production of the raw materials ethylene, propylene, butadiene and others for the plastics industry. The starting materials used are saturated hydrocarbons, mainly ethane, propane, butane, natural gas, naphtha or gas oil. The conversion of the saturated into the unsaturated hydrocarbons takes place in the cans of the cracking furnace, namely at inlet temperatures of 500 - 680 ° C and outlet temperatures of 775 - 875 ° C in a pressure range of 1.5-5 bar.

In nachgeschalteten Spaltgaskühlern am Austritt des Spaltofens werden die ungesättigten Kohlenwasserstoffe, die sogenannten Spaltgase, von 775 - 875°C unter Bildung von Hoch- oder Niederdruckdampf auf ca. 350 - 450 °C abgekühlt. Das "Kühlwasser" hat hierbei Siedetemperatur bei einem entsprechenden Druck. Die Kühlung findet aufgrund des Phasenüberganges von flüssig nach gasförmig statt. Der Dampf wird in der Ethylenanlage z. B. für Dampfturbinen genutzt.In downstream cracked gas coolers at the outlet of the cracking furnace, the unsaturated hydrocarbons, the so-called cracking gases, from 775 to 875 ° C with the formation of high or low pressure steam to about 350 to 450 ° C cooled. The "cooling water" has boiling temperature at a corresponding pressure. The cooling takes place due to the phase transition from liquid to gaseous. The steam is in the ethylene plant z. B. used for steam turbines.

Die Abkühlung des Spaltgases unter Bildung von Dampf geschieht entweder in einstufigen Systemen, wobei die vollständige Abkühlung auf ca. 350 - 450 °C in nur einem Spaltgaskühler stattfindet oder in zweistufigen Systemen, bei denen in zwei hintereinander geschalteten Spaltgaskühlern eine schrittweise Abkühlung erfolgt; z. B. im ersten Schritt von 875 °C auf 550 °C und im zweiten Schritt von 550 °C auf 350° C. Die Spaltgaskühler haben die entsprechende Bezeichnung Primär-und Sekundär-Kühler.The cooling of the fission gas to form steam is carried out either in single-stage systems, with the complete cooling to about 350 - 450 ° C takes place in a single quench cooler or in two-stage systems in which a gradual cooling takes place in two successive split gas coolers; z. B. in the first step from 875 ° C to 550 ° C and in the second step from 550 ° C to 350 ° C. The quench cooler have the corresponding designation primary and secondary radiator.

Zusätzlich erfolgt eine weitere Abkühlung des Spaltgases in Kesselwasserspeisevorwärmern sowohl im einstufigem als auch im zweistufigen System. Hierbei wird kein Dampf mehr erzeugt, sondern das "Kühlwasser", das Kesselspeisewasser, wird für die Primär- und Sekundärkühler möglichst nahe der Siedetemperatur vorgewärmt. Die Zufuhr des vorgewärmten Kesselspeisewassers zu den Primär- und Sekundärspaltgaskühlern erfolgt indirekt über eine Dampftrommel, in der das Kesselspeisewasser auf Siedetemperatur erhitzt wird.In addition, further cooling of the cracked gas in boiler water feed preheaters takes place both in the single-stage and in the two-stage system. Here, no more steam is generated, but the "Cooling water", the boiler feed water, is preheated as close as possible to the boiling temperature for the primary and secondary coolers. The feed of the preheated boiler feed water to the primary and secondary slit gas coolers takes place indirectly via a steam drum in which the boiler feed water is heated to boiling temperature.

Aus der EP 0 272 378 B1 ist ein Spaltgaskühler bekannt, bei dem das Spaltgas in einer ersten, einen Verdampfer darstellenden Kühlstufe durch siedendes Wasser und in einer zweiten, einen Überhitzer darstellenden Kühlstufe durch Dampf gekühlt wird. Wie üblich ist dem Spaltgaskühler ein zusätzlicher Kühler nachzuschalten, in dem das Spaltgas durch Speisewasser weiter heruntergekühlt wird. Bei einer Variante des aus der EP 0 272 378 B1 bekannten Spaltgaskühlers sind der Verdampfer und der Überhitzer in einem gemeinsamen Mantel angeordnet und durch eine Tennwand voneinander getrennt, die ein Überströmen des Kühlmediums von einer Kühlstufe in die andere verhindert.From the EP 0 272 378 B1 For example, a fission gas cooler is known in which the fission gas is cooled by steam in a first cooling stage representing an evaporator and by steam in a second cooling stage representing a superheater. As usual, an additional cooler is to be connected downstream of the quench cooler, in which the cracked gas is further cooled down by feed water. In a variant of the from EP 0 272 378 B1 known quench cooler, the evaporator and the superheater are arranged in a common shell and separated by a partition, which prevents overflow of the cooling medium from one cooling stage to the other.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den gattungsgemäßen, zwei Teilräume innerhalb eines gemeinsamen Mantels umfassenden Wärmetauschers zum Kühlen von Spaltgas derart zu gestalten, dass die Kühlung innerhalb des auf der Gasaustrittsseite des Spaltgases liegenden Teilraumes effektiver und der apparative Aufbau reduziert wird.The invention has for its object to make the generic, two subspaces within a common shell comprehensive heat exchanger for cooling fission gas such that the cooling is reduced within the lying on the gas outlet side of the quenching gas subspace more effective and the apparatus design.

Die Aufgabe wird bei einem gattungsgemäßen Wärmetauscher erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.The object is achieved according to the invention in a generic heat exchanger by the characterizing features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Der auf der Gaseintrittseite des Spaltgases liegende Teilraum des Wärmetauschers dient als Verdampfer und kühlt das Spaltgas bis nahe an die Siedetemperatur des siedenden Wassers ab. Anschließend gelangt das Spaltgas in den auf der Gasaustrittsseite des Spaltgases liegenden und als Vorwärmer dienenden Teilraum, wo das Spaltgas durch das kühlere Speisewasser deutlich unter die Siedetemperatur des Wassers weiter abgekühlt wird. Dadurch wird die Kühlung des Spaltgases insgesamt effektiver. Das sich dabei erwärmende Speisewasser wird entweder der Dampftrommel zugeführt, wo es auf Siedetemperatur erhitzt wird, oder es strömt direkt durch die wie ein "leckender" Rohrboden wirkende Trennwand in den Verdampferabschnitt. Die für das Kühlmedium absichtlich durchlässig gestaltete Trennwand sorgt für einen Druckausgleich zwischen den Teilräumen.The lying on the gas inlet side of the fission gas subspace of the heat exchanger serves as an evaporator and cools the cracking gas to near the boiling point of the boiling water. Subsequently, the cracked gas passes into the lying on the gas outlet side of the fission gas and serving as a preheater subspace, where the fission gas is further cooled by the cooler feed water well below the boiling temperature of the water. As a result, the cooling of the fission gas is total more effective. The heating feed water is either fed to the steam drum, where it is heated to boiling temperature, or it flows directly through the acting as a "leaking" tubesheet bulkhead in the evaporator section. The intentionally permeable to the cooling medium partition wall ensures a pressure equalization between the subspaces.

Außerdem wird durch die Zusammenfassung von Verdampfer und Vorwärmer zu einem gemeinsamen Aggregat der apparative Aufbau der Spaltgaskühlung reduziert, indem der bisher separate Speisewasservorwärmer in den Verdampfer integriert wird, wodurch ein kompletter Kühler innerhalb der Abkühlungsreihe sowie die Spaltgasleitung zwischen dem Verdampfer und dem Speisewasservorwärmer entfallen und kürzere Rohrleitungen zur Dampftrommel möglich werden.In addition, the combination of evaporator and preheater is reduced to a common aggregate apparatus design of the quench cooling by the previously separate feedwater is integrated into the evaporator, thereby eliminating a complete cooler within the cooling row and the fission gas line between the evaporator and the feedwater and shorter Pipes to the steam drum are possible.

Durch den Wegfall der Verbindung Verdampfer zum Vorwärmer entfallen die gasseitigen Druckverluste, welche sonst durch Rohrausströmung Verdampfer und Rohreinströmung Vorwärmer sowie durch die Strömungen in der Gasaustrittskammer und der. Gaseintrittskammer verursacht worden wären. Dadurch wird der gesamte Druckverlust des Spaltgases im Kühler reduziert, was sowohl die Ausbeute an Ethylen, Propylen, Butadien und andere im Spaltgas erhöht, als auch die Laufzeit des Kühlers verlängert.By eliminating the connection evaporator to the preheater eliminates the gas side pressure losses, which otherwise by tube outflow evaporator and tube inflow preheater and by the currents in the gas outlet chamber and the. Gas inlet chamber would have been caused. Thereby, the total pressure loss of the cracking gas in the cooler is reduced, which increases both the yield of ethylene, propylene, butadiene and others in the cracking gas, as well as extends the life of the cooler.

Der Wärmetauscher besteht aus einem Rohrbündel aus geraden Wärmetauscherrohren 1, die in jeweils einer Rohrplatte 2, 3 zu beiden Seiten des Rohrbündels gehalten sind. In der Zeichnung sind der Übersichtlichkeit wegen nur einige der Wärmetauscherrohre 1 dargestellt. Jede Rohrplatte 2, 3 ist von Bohrungen durchdrungen, in die jeweils eines der Wärmetauscherrohre 1 eingesetzt und durch eine Schweißnaht mit der Rohrplatte 2, 3 verschweißt ist. Das Rohrbündel ist von einem äußeren Mantel 4 umschlossen, der zusammen mit den jeweiligen Rohrplatten 2, 3 einen von einem Kühlmedium durchflossenen Innenraum begrenzt.The heat exchanger shown serves to cool cracked gas in an ethylene plant. The heat exchanger consists of a tube bundle of straight heat exchanger tubes 1, which are held in each case a tube plate 2, 3 on both sides of the tube bundle. In the drawing, for the sake of clarity, only some of the heat exchanger tubes 1 are shown. Each tube plate 2, 3 is penetrated by holes in each one of the heat exchanger tubes 1 is inserted and welded by a weld with the tube plate 2, 3. The tube bundle is enclosed by an outer jacket 4 which, together with the respective tube plates 2, 3, delimits an interior through which a cooling medium flows.

An die Rohrplatten 2, 3 schließt sich auf der Gaseintrittsseite und auf der Gasaustrittsseite jeweils eine Endkammer, die Eintrittskammer 5 und die Austrittskammer 6 an. Die Eintrittskammer 5 und die Austrittskammer 6 sind jeweils mit einem Stutzen zur Zuführung oder Abführung des Spaltgases versehen. Alle Teile des Wärmetauschers sind aus einem warmfesten Stahl gefertigt.To the tube plates 2, 3 is followed on the gas inlet side and on the gas outlet side in each case an end chamber, the inlet chamber 5 and the outlet chamber 6 at. The inlet chamber 5 and the outlet chamber 6 are each provided with a nozzle for supplying or discharging the fission gas. All parts of the heat exchanger are made of a heat-resistant steel.

Das durch die Eintrittskammer 5 herangeführte, heiße Spaltgas trifft auf die Rohrplatte 2 und strömt durch die Bohrungen der Rohrplatte 2 in die Wärmetauscherrohre 1 und verlässt durch die Rohrplatte 3 am anderen Ende den gekühlten Bereich des Wärmetauschers. Über die Austrittskammer 6 wird das abgekühlte Spaltgas abgeführt. Die gezeigten Pfeile geben die Strömungsrichtung an.The hot gap gas introduced through the inlet chamber 5 impinges on the tube plate 2 and flows through the bores of the tube plate 2 into the heat exchanger tubes 1 and leaves the cooled region of the heat exchanger through the tube plate 3 at the other end. About the outlet chamber 6, the cooled cleavage gas is removed. The arrows indicate the flow direction.

Der Innenraum des Wärmetauschers ist durch eine Trennwand 7 in zwei Teilräume 8, 9 aufgeteilt, so dass innerhalb des Wärmetauschers zwei Kühlabschnitte entstanden sind, die jeweils mit einem eigenen Kühlmedium beaufschlagt werden und als Verdampferabschnitt bzw. als Vorwärmerabschnitt dienen.The interior of the heat exchanger is divided by a partition wall 7 into two subspaces 8, 9, so that two cooling sections have formed within the heat exchanger, each of which is acted upon by its own cooling medium and serve as the evaporator section or preheater section.

Der auf der Gaseintrittsseite des Spaltgases liegende Teilraum 8 des liegend angeordneten Wärmetauschers ist auf der Unterseite mit mehreren Zuführungsstutzen 10 und auf der Oberseite mit mehreren Abführungsstutzen 11 für ein Kühlmedium versehen. Als Kühlmedium dient siedendes, unter hohem Druck stehendes Wasser, das einer der Trennung von Wasser und Dampf dienenden Wasser/Dampf-Trommel 12 entnommen wird. Dazu ist an die Zuführungsstutzen 10 eine Zuführungsleitung 13 angeschlossen, die von dem Wasserraum 14 der Wasser/Dampf-Trommel 12 ausgeht. Die Abführungsstutzen 11 sind mit Abführungsleitungen 15 verbunden, die an einer anderen Stelle in den Wasserraum 14 der Wasser/Dampf-Trommel 12 einmünden und den im Wärmetausch mit dem Spaltgas erzeugten Sattdampf abführen. Der in der Wasser/Dampf-Trommel 12 abgetrennte Dampf wird über eine von dem Dampfraum 16 der Wasser/Dampf-Trommel 12 ausgehenden Dampfleitung 17 abgeführt.The lying on the gas inlet side of the fission gas subspace 8 of the horizontally disposed heat exchanger is provided on the bottom with multiple feed nozzle 10 and on the top with a plurality of Abführungsstutzen 11 for a cooling medium. The cooling medium is boiling, high-pressure water, which is one of the separation of water and steam serving water / steam drum 12 is removed. For this purpose, a supply line 13 is connected to the supply nozzle 10, which starts from the water chamber 14 of the water / steam drum 12. The discharge pipe 11 are connected to discharge lines 15 which open at a different location in the water space 14 of the water / steam drum 12 and the heat exchange with the Dissipate fission gas generated saturated steam. The steam separated in the water / steam drum 12 is discharged via a steam pipe 17 extending from the steam space 16 of the water / steam drum 12.

Der auf der Gasaustrittsseite liegende Teilraum 9 des liegend angeordneten Wärmetauschers ist an der Unterseite mit einem oder mehreren Zuführungsstutzen 18 in der Nähe des Rohrbodens 3 und an der Oberseite mit einem oder mehreren Abführungsstutzen 19 in der Nähe der Trennwand 7 versehen. Über den Zuführungsstutzen 18 wird Speisewasser in den Teilraum 9 eingespeist. In dem Teilraum 9 sind Umlenkbleche 20 voneinander beabstandet und parallel und unten und oben versetzt zueinander angeordnet, die als Schikanen wirken und das Speisewasser im Gegenstrom zu dem Spaltgas durch den Teilraum 9 führen. Das Speisewasser wird im Wärmetausch mit dem Spaltgas vorgewärmt und über eine an den Abführungsstutzen 19 angeschlossene Abführungsleitung 21 in den Wasserraum 14 der Wasser/Dampf-Trommel 12 geleitet.The lying on the gas outlet side space 9 of the horizontally disposed heat exchanger is provided at the bottom with one or more feed port 18 in the vicinity of the tube sheet 3 and at the top with one or more discharge port 19 in the vicinity of the partition 7. Feed water is fed into the subspace 9 via the feed connection 18. In the subspace 9 baffles 20 are spaced from each other and arranged in parallel and below and above offset from each other, which act as baffles and lead the feed water in countercurrent to the fission gas through the subspace 9. The feed water is preheated in heat exchange with the cracking gas and passed through a connected to the discharge port 19 discharge line 21 into the water space 14 of the water / steam drum 12.

Die Zusammenfassung von Verdampferabschnitt und Vorwärmerabschnitt zu einem gemeinsamen Wärmetauscher-Aggregat verkürzt die Zu- und Abführungen zwischen dem Wärmetauscher und der Wasser/Dampf-Trommel 12. Diese Anordnung macht es möglich, die Wasser/Dampf-Trommel 12 direkt auf dem Mantel 4 des Wärmetauschers zu montieren. Dadurch entsteht eine kompakte Baueinheit, durch die Rohrleitungen sowie die Zeiten zu deren Montage eingespart werden können.The combination of evaporator section and preheater section to a common heat exchanger unit shortens the inlets and outlets between the heat exchanger and the water / steam drum 12. This arrangement makes it possible for the water / steam drum 12 directly on the jacket 4 of the heat exchanger to assemble. This creates a compact unit through which piping and the times for their installation can be saved.

Die Trennwand 7 zwischen den beiden Teilräumen 8, 9 ist ein nichttragendes Bauteil, das lediglich die Aufgabe hat, die Strömungen in den Teilräumen 8, 9 auseinander zu halten. Die Trennwand 7 ist mit Bohrungen 22 versehen, deren Durchmesser geringfügig größer ist als der Außendurchmesser der Wärmetauscherrohre 1, so dass die Wärmetauscherrohre 1 durch die Trennwand 7 mit Spiel 23 hindurch geführt sind. Der Außendurchmesser der Trennwand 7 ist geringer als der Innendurchmesser des Mantels 4, so dass im eingebauten Zustand ein Spalt 24 zwischen Trennwand 7 und Mantel 4 besteht. Die Trennwand 7 kann mit dem aus den Wärmetauscherrohren 1 bestehenden Rohrbündel in den Mantel 4 hinein geschoben werden. Bei einem Wärmetauscher üblicher Größe beträgt der Spalt 24 zwischen der Trennwand 7 und dem Mantel 4 wenige Millimetern, beispielsweise 2 mm, und das Spiel 23 zwischen den Wärmetauscherrohren 1 und den Bohrungen 22 in der Trennwand 7 weniger als 1 mm, z. B. 0,6 mm. In der Fig. 2 sind der Spalt 24 und das Spiel 23 überproportional groß dargestellt.The partition 7 between the two subspaces 8, 9 is a non-structural component, which only has the task to keep the currents in the subspaces 8, 9 apart. The partition wall 7 is provided with bores 22 whose diameter is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the heat exchanger tubes 1, so that the heat exchanger tubes 1 are guided through the partition wall 7 with clearance 23 therethrough. The outer diameter of the partition wall 7 is less than the inner diameter of the jacket 4, so that in the installed state, a gap 24 between partition 7 and jacket 4 is made. The partition wall 7 can be pushed into the jacket 4 with the tube bundle consisting of the heat exchanger tubes 1. In a heat exchanger of conventional size, the gap 24 between the partition wall 7 and the jacket 4th a few millimeters, for example 2 mm, and the clearance 23 between the heat exchanger tubes 1 and the bores 22 in the partition wall 7 less than 1 mm, z. B. 0.6 mm. 2, the gap 24 and the game 23 are disproportionately large.

Der Spalt 24 zwischen der Trennwand 7 und dem Mantel 4 sowie das Spiel 23 zwischen dem Umfang der Wärmetauscherrohre 1 und den Bohrungen 22 in der Trennwand 7 bewirken, dass die Trennwand 7 durchlässig ist für den Durchtritt des jeweiligen Kühlmediums von dem einem Teilraum 8, 9 in den anderen. Die Trennwand 7 wirkt damit wie ein "leckender" Rohrboden.The gap 24 between the partition wall 7 and the jacket 4 and the clearance 23 between the circumference of the heat exchanger tubes 1 and the holes 22 in the partition 7 cause the partition 7 is permeable to the passage of the respective cooling medium of a subspace 8, 9th in the others. The partition 7 thus acts as a "leaking" tube sheet.

Das Speisewasser wird dem auf der Gasaustrittsseite liegenden Teilraum 9 über Pumpen zugeführt und steht unter einem Druck, der zwar leicht schwankend oder immer höher ist als der Druck in dem auf der Gaseintrittsseite liegenden Teilraum 8. Es herrscht in der Regel also immer ein Druckunterschied. Dieser Druckunterschied wird dadurch ausgeglichen, dass Wasser aus dem auf der Gasaustrittsseite liegenden Teilraum 9 durch die bewusst undicht gehaltene Trennwand 7 in den auf der Gaseintrittsseite liegenden Teilraum 8 übertritt. Das aus dem auf der Gasaustrittsseite liegenden Teilraum 9 austretende Leckwasser verdampft in dem auf der Gaseintrittsseite liegenden Teilraum 8 und gelangt ebenfalls in die Wasser/Dampf-Trommel 12.The feed water is supplied to the lying on the gas outlet side space 9 via pumps and is under a pressure that is slightly fluctuating or always higher than the pressure in the lying on the gas inlet side subspace 8. It is usually therefore always a pressure difference. This pressure difference is compensated for by the fact that water from the subspace 9 located on the gas outlet side passes through the intentionally leaky separating wall 7 into the subspace 8 located on the gas inlet side. The leaking from the lying on the gas outlet side space 9 leaking vaporizes in the lying on the gas inlet side compartment 8 and also passes into the water / steam drum 12th
