The invention relates to the technical field of
chemical engineering equipment, and in particular to an
exothermic reaction device. The
exothermic reaction device comprises a reaction kettle, a crude product tank, a cooler and a
circulating pump, wherein a material outlet formed in the top part of the reaction kettle is connected with a crude product inlet formed in the crude product tank; a material outlet formed in the bottom part of the crude product tank is connected with an inlet of a circulating material passage of the cooler; an outlet of the circulating material passage is connected with an inlet of the
circulating pump; an outlet of the
circulating pump is connected with a circulating inlet in the bottom part of the reaction kettle; an after-pump circulating valve is arranged between the circulating pump and the circulating inlet, and a crude product external circulating passage is formed. A part of a crude product is utilized for carrying out external circulation strengthened
heat transfer, the external circulation strengthened
heat transfer is not limited by a space of the reaction kettle, the heat exchange area of the cooler can be increased at will, the
heat transfer efficiency is increased, a
reaction temperature can be easily controlled, and the
process safety and the production capacity are increased; circulating water is used as a
refrigerant for replacing traditional
calcium chloride brine, so that the corrosivity is greatly reduced, common
carbon steel processing and manufacturing equipment can be used, the
investment cost is reduced, reaction heat is transferred by using circulation of the crude product, and impurities cannot be introduced in.
