U.S. Patent No. 4,321,234 discloses a radial flow fixed-bed catalytic reactor, which provides the flow mode of the fluid and the arrangement of the cooling tubes, overcomes the shortcomings of the large bed resistance of the tube-and-tube fixed-bed reactor, and can effectively Use the heat of reaction, but there is a serious problem of uneven fluid distribution in the reactor, and the catalyst cannot be fully utilized
Japanese patent JP59162942 and Chinese patent CN1054430 disclose a radial flow fixed-bed catalytic reactor utilizing intubation heat exchange. There is also uneven distribution of fluid in the radial bed layer, which relatively affects the utilization rate of the catalyst. The structure of the reactor is complex, and the catalyst Defects such as difficulty in loading and unloading
U.S. Patent US7055583 and Chinese Patent CN1571697 disclose a heat exchange unit in a radial flow isothermal fixed bed catalytic reactor, which adopts a plate heat exchanger and has an integrated design of the heat exchange unit, but the structure is complex and the engineering implementation is quite difficult
Chinese patent CN1788835 discloses a transverse flow tube heat exchange reaction equipment, the reactor is placed horizontally, the heat exchange tubes are arranged horizontally, the reactant stream flows laterally from top to bottom and exchanges heat with it, which reduces the resistance of the reactor, but Uneven distribution of reactant flow, difficult loading and unloading of catalyst, and difficult sealing of sliding tube sheets in the reactor
Chinese patent CN2880821 discloses a suspended water pipe isothermal radial reactor, which also has defects such as complex reactor structure and difficult loading and unloading of catalysts.
Chinese patents CN2291201 and CN2355787 disclose a fixed-bed catalytic reactor with radial flow by-product steam. The cold pipes are straight pipes or coiled pipes. Achieving the right temperature distribution
[0008] 1. The reaction gas flows from the outside to the inside and from the top to the bottom in a centripetal Z shape. The radial flow process of the fluid is controlled by the central pipe distributor. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve uniform fluid distribution in the entire bed, or it has to be used Controlling a gas distributor with a large pressure drop will largely lose the low pressure drop characteristic of a radial reactor
Horizontal setup of transverse tube heat exchange, fluid distribution is more difficult to be uniform
[0009] 2. The radial heat transfer effect of traditional heat exchange tubes in the reactor is poor; it is difficult to manufacture the large diameter of the radial reactor with intubation heat exchange; and the structure of the plate heat exchange unit is complex and difficult to process, which will make the radial reaction The characteristics that the device is suitable for large-scale are lost
[0010] 3. The traditional radial reactor adopts the centripetal type from the outside to the inside. The reaction gas flows in the shunt channel between the cylinder and the outer distribution cylinder. Due to the heat loss, the temperature difference changes, which will cause a considerable axial displacement of the bed. temperature difference
[0011] 4. Most radial reactors adopt centripetal flow, and the fluid flow speed gradually increases along the radial direction. For those chemical reactions that are seriously restricted by equilibrium, the reaction speed slows down significantly in the later stage. The two do not match, and the Can affect radial reactor efficiency
