Opfindelsen angår en totrinsammoniakkonverter med mindst et ringformet katalysatorleje, der er anbragt i trykbeholderen, og med en varmeveksler, som er anbragt centralt indvendigt i katalysatorlejet, og som kan gennemstrømmes af reaktionsgas.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a two-stage ammonia converter having at least one annular catalyst bed disposed in the pressure vessel and having a heat exchanger located centrally inside the catalyst bed which can be flowed through reaction gas.
5 Der kendes totrinsammoniakkonvertere af forskellig konstruktion. Således viser DE offentliggørelsesskrift nr. 27 10 247 en sådan konverter i forskellige opbygninger, hvilket også fremgår af DE offentliggørelsesskrift nr. 31 46 778. De kendte varmevekslere har det til fælles, at gassen tilføres 10 det indre gennem et koncentrisk rør i varmeveksleren, og derefter føres via passende tilbagestrømsrør til forvarmning af det første katalysatorleje, for at gennemstrømme dette og i det mindste delvis afgive reaktionsvarmen, som er opstået i varmeveksleren.5 Two-stage ammonia converters of different construction are known. Thus, DE Publication No. 27 10 247 discloses such a converter in various constructions, as also disclosed in DE Publication No. 31 46 778. The known heat exchangers have in common that the gas is supplied to the interior through a concentric tube in the heat exchanger, and then passed through appropriate back flow tubes to preheat the first catalyst bed to flow through it and at least partially release the reaction heat generated in the heat exchanger.
15 Det har vist sig, afhængigt af konstruktion og føring af gassen, at et centralt placeret rør med meget stort tværsnit ikke giver et optimalt resultat.15 It has been found, depending on the construction and guidance of the gas, that a centrally located pipe of very large cross-section does not produce an optimal result.
Formålet med opfindelsen er, ved den direkte føring af varmevekslerrørene at optimere og opnå en gunstigere varmeoverfø-20 ring, og at tilvejebringe en enkel konstruktiv opbygning.The object of the invention is to optimize and obtain a more favorable heat transfer by the direct routing of the heat exchanger tubes and to provide a simple constructive structure.
Dette opnås med en totrinsammoniakkonverter af den indledningsvise angivne art, der er ejendommelig ved, at varmeveksleren er opbygget som en enke 1 tbunds varme veks ler med U-formede varmevekslerrør, der er anbragt i en bund, og at U-røre-25 nes rørben er anbragt med indløbet ved midten og udløbet ved periferien.This is achieved with a two-stage ammonia converter of the kind initially provided, characterized in that the heat exchanger is constructed as a single 1-tonne heat exchanger with U-shaped heat exchanger tubes housed in a bottom and the tubes of the U-tubes 25 is arranged with the inlet at the center and the outlet at the periphery.
De U-formede varmevekslerrør er i og for sig kendt. Det primære ved den her omtalte radialt opbyggede totrinsammoniakkonverter er fordelen, at de allerede indvendigt placerede 30 varmevekslerrør, som fører gassen nedefter, kan udnyttes til varmeveksler. Den såkaldte enkeltbundsopbygning muliggør som regel også en ganske enkelt konstruktion, da hele varmeveks- DK 172441 Bl 2 leren til eksempel kan indsættes og monteres fra oven i reaktoren. Den kan under alle omstændigheder byttes ud ved eftersyn eller afmontering, uden at dette medfører specielle besværligheder. Ydermere behøver varmevekslerens længde ikke at 5 være afstemt efter katalysatorlejets længde, d.v.s. at den også kan være kortere.The U-shaped heat exchanger tubes are known per se. The primary feature of the above-mentioned radially constructed two-stage ammonia converter is the advantage that the already internally located 30 heat exchanger tubes which carry the gas downwards can be utilized for heat exchanger. The so-called single-bottom structure usually also enables a simple construction, for example, the entire heat exchanger can be inserted and mounted from above in the reactor. In any case, it can be replaced by overhaul or disassembly without causing any particular difficulties. Furthermore, the length of the heat exchanger does not have to be adjusted to the length of the catalyst bed, i.e. that it may also be shorter.
I en udførelsesform for opfindelsen, kan varmevekslerbunden være anbragt ved den øvre side af varmeveksleren, set i tyngdekraftens retning, og være forsynet med en centralt placeret 10 friskgastilførsel- og -fordelerklokke.In one embodiment of the invention, the heat exchanger bottom may be located at the upper side of the heat exchanger, viewed in the direction of gravity, and provided with a centrally located 10 fresh gas supply and distributor clock.
Det har vist sig fordelagtigt, at der om de U-formede rør kan være tilvejebragt strømningsbegrænsende foranstaltninger til at styre strømningen ved varmevekslerenden af de fra det første katalysatorleje afgående gasser.It has been found advantageous that flow restricting measures may be provided for the U-shaped pipes to control the flow at the heat exchanger end of the gases exiting from the first catalyst bed.
15 Det er også fordelagtigt, at der kan være mindst en tilførselskanal med regulerbar udgangsåbning for bratkølingsgas inden i varmevekslerens rørbund. Dermed bliver både starten af reaktionen forenkelt og der kan udøves en vis styring.It is also advantageous that there may be at least one supply duct with an adjustable outlet opening for quenching gas within the heat exchanger's pipe bottom. Thus, both the onset of the reaction is simplified and some control can be exercised.
Opfindelsen forklares nedenfor under henvisning til tegnin-20 gen, hvor figuren viser et tværsnit gennem en forenkelt to-trinsammoniakkonverter ifølge opfindelsen.The invention is explained below with reference to the drawing, in which the figure shows a cross-section through a simplified two-stage ammonia converter according to the invention.
Den som helhed med 1 betegnede konverter består af en trykbeholder 2 med et dæksel 2a, hvor der i det indre af trykbeholderen er tilvejebragt to katalysatorlejer 3 og 4, hvis speci-25 elle opbygning og specielle konstruktive foransaltninger ikke beskrives nærmere.The converter referred to as 1 as a whole consists of a pressure vessel 2 with a cover 2a, in which two catalyst bearings 3 and 4 are provided within the interior of the pressure vessel, the specific structure and special structural pre-assemblies of which are not described.
Det cylindriske katalysatorleje 3, der her er af væsentligst interesse, er indvendigt forsynet med en enkeltbundsvarmeveksler 5, hvis varmevekslerrør 6 er bøjet U-formede så de fører 30 inde fra og ud, og at de er anbragt i en fælles rørbund 7.The cylindrical catalyst bed 3, which is of major interest here, is provided internally with a single-bottom heat exchanger 5, whose heat exchanger tubes 6 are bent U-shaped so that they guide 30 from the inside and out and are arranged in a common tube bottom 7.

De indvendigt placeret delrør, som varmevekslerrørenes 6 U-formede dele består af, står via en fordelerklokke 8 i forbindelse med en tilførselskanal 9, hvorigennem syntesegassen tilføres. Udgangssiden af rørbenene udmunder i en gaskuppel 5 10, hvorfra det, der skal påsprøjtes det første katalysator leje 3 ved radial gennemstrømning, kommer.The internally located part tubes, which comprise the U-shaped parts of the heat exchanger tubes 6, are connected via a distributor bell 8 to a supply duct 9 through which the synthesis gas is supplied. The outlet side of the pipe legs opens into a gas dome 5 10, from which comes what is to be sprayed on the first catalyst bearing 3 by radial flow.
I det indvendige af varmeveksleren 5, er der tilvejebragt strømningsbegrænsende foranstaltninger 11, for at tilnærme sig til en optimal gennemstrømning. Der er også tilvejebragt 10 en bratkølingsgastilførselseledning 12, hvis neddykningsdybde er regulerbar, hvilket er antydet med dobbeltpilen 13. Efter radial gennemstrømning af det andet katalysatorleje 4, når procesgassen frem til udløbsdysen 14.Inside the heat exchanger 5, flow limiting measures 11 are provided to approximate an optimum flow. Also provided is a quench gas supply line 12 whose immersion depth is adjustable, which is indicated by the double arrow 13. After radially flowing through the second catalyst bed 4, the process gas reaches the outlet nozzle 14.
