What type of heat exchanger is a reboiler?
First, the principle and role of reboiler
Reboiler is a heat exchanger that can reboil the fluid in the heat exchange process. Its main principle is to flow in the heat exchanger through the pipeline inside the low-pressure steam or other liquids, in the process of heating to produce a one-time boiling, and then in the process of continuing to heat the process of reboiling, thereby improving the efficiency of heat transfer.
Reboiler is mainly used in chemical, petroleum, food, pharmaceutical and other industries, in the steam generator, air conditioning systems, distillation equipment and other fields play an important role. Among them, it is most widely used in the evaporator, which can greatly improve the heat exchange efficiency and also save energy consumption. In addition, the reboiler can also be used to heat low-quality fluids, such as oil, water, sewage and chemicals.
Second, the advantages and disadvantages of reboiler
Compared with other types of heat exchangers, reboiler has the following advantages:
1. energy efficient: reboiler can be released in the heat transfer process to make full use of latent heat, improve the efficiency of heat transfer, but also to save energy consumption.
2. High-speed heat transfer: In the process of heat transfer in the reboiler, due to the one-time boiling and reboiling, so the heat will be transferred quickly, so that high-speed heat transfer can be carried out.
3. Wide range of applications: reboilers are widely used in many industries, such as chemical, petroleum, pharmaceuticals and so on.
However, the reboiler also has certain disadvantages:
1. easy to produce oscillation: due to the presence of a large number of bubbles in the reboiler fluid, so in the process of heat transfer is prone to oscillation, thus causing some damage to the equipment.
2. susceptible to scaling and corrosion: in
