Machinery

The heat exchanger applied in the process:


Crude heat exchanger before desalination: crude oil of about 20-45 ℃ flows into the heat exchanger and then into the electrical desalter after being heated up to 110-120 ℃.

Crude heat exchanger after desalination: desalted crude oil flows into the primary tower after being heated up to 220-240℃.

Primary distilled oil heat exchanger: After primary distillation the oil flows into the heat exchanger and is heated to 270-280 ℃.

Primary overhead oil heat exchanger: the overhead oil gas is cooled down to 40℃ after passing through the overhead hot-water heat exchanger and air cooler and flows into the overhead reflux tank.

Overhead oil gas heat exchanger: the oil gas from the atmospheric overhead enters into the return tank (Volumn-103) for oil-water separation after being cooled to 70 ℃ by the air cooler.

Overhead oil-water cooler: Non-condensable oil gas is cooled down to 40 ℃ by the condenser after entering the overhead product tank for oil-water separation.

First-line oil heat exchanger: the primary distilled oil which is heated up to 370-380 ℃ by the atmosphere furnace flows into the first-line oil heat exchanger and is cooled down to 45℃.

Second-line oil heat exchanger: the primary distilled oil which is heated up to 370-380 ℃ by the atmosphere furnace flows into the second-line oil heat exchanger and is cooled down to 60-70℃.

Third-line oil heat exchanger: the primary distilled oil which is heated up to 370-380 ℃ by the atmosphere furnace flows into the third-line oil heat exchanger and is cooled down to 70℃.

Atmospheric residual oil heat exchanger:

First vacuum side stream heat exchanger: first vacuum side stream is exhausted from the first layer of oil sump tank and cooled down to 80℃ after heat exchange, some of which flows out as product and some of which returns to the upper part of the first padding section as vacuum overhead reflux oil after being cooled down to 40℃ by the condenser.

Second vacuum side stream heat exchanger: second vacuum side stream is exhausted from the second layer of oil sump tank, one line of which is cooled down to 80℃ after heat exchange and flows out as product, one of which returns to the upper part of the second padding section as vacuum overhead reflux oil and the other of which returns to the upper part of the third padding section as light wash oil with no need to be cooled.

Third vacuum side stream heat exchanger: third vacuum side stream mixes with the second vacuum side stream, enters into the mixed heavy oil line which is cooled down to 80℃ after heat exchange and flows out as product

The vacuum residual oil heat exchanger: the vacuum residual oil is extracted from the bottom of the vacuum tower by the pump after it is cooled to 120 ℃, one of which flows out, one of which mixes with the second and third vacuum side stream into the mixed heavy oil line and flows out.

  • Method for cleaning vicarb heat exchanger plate


    Vicarb heat exchanger plates have been widely used in some areas such as central heating and chemical industry. The plate heat exchanger has a good heat exchange effect, but it is prone to produce scale and impurities, which will block the flow of the plate heat exchanger and reduce the heat exchange effect. So, how to clean the plate heat exchanger?Plate heat exchangers can be disassembled and recirculated.

    Disassembly and cleaning steps:
    Disassembly and cleaning can clean both processes of the heat exchanger. The main steps are:
    1. Close the two water inlet and outlet valves of the heat exchanger;

    2. Measure the distance between the baffles of the heat exchanger and make a record;

    3. Disassemble the plate heat exchanger, empty the medium in the equipment, disassemble in the prescribed order, and make a record. Be careful not to damage the gasket and the plate during the disassembly process;

    4. During the cleaning process, the plates should be cleaned piece by piece, and soaked and washed. In the case of high-pressure cleaning, the cleaning should be performed below the specified pressure;

    5. After processing, put it back in the plate heat exchanger baffle in the original order, paying attention to distinguish the front and back. Control the strength when tightening the clamping bolts firmly, otherwise it is easy to crush the plate;

    6. Open the outlet valve and inlet valve of the plate heat exchanger to see if there is any leakage. If there is no leakage, the cleaning is complete.

    Cycle cleaning steps:
    If it is used in the chemical industry, firstly close the inlet and outlet valves of the plate heat exchanger, and add the cleaning agent to the system through a tube pump or a water tank for internal circulation until the concentration of the cleaning agent no longer changes and the impurities in the equipment are discharged.

    If it is a passivation treatment, it is necessary to ensure that after the chemical descaling is completed, no rust or other phenomena will occur in the pipeline. The amount of passivation cleaning solution needs to be determined according to the amount of water during cleaning, and the ph value cannot be too high, otherwise the effect will be poor, and it will be discharged after six hours.

    Finally, the plate heat exchanger was restored, and the inlet and outlet water valves were opened, indicating that the cleaning was completed.
  • The role and advantages,disadvantages of plate heat exchangers


    Plate heat exchangers are a type of mobile device that transfers heat between metal plates because the liquid is spread over more surfaces, which increases the exchange rate. Metal tubes are used to heat fluids.

    The role of plate heat exchangers
    The plate heat exchanger is based on different external and internal components, the welding plate exchange plates are welded together, and the brazed plate type construction model is vacuum brazed. In many cases, in order to make smaller sections work better, some chambers are designed to be thinner, allowing most of the liquid to contact the plate, improving heat transfer.

    The plate heat exchanger can play a good heat transfer effect in the boiler heating in winter. In the daily use process, it is necessary to do a good job of protecting this equipment. The plate heat exchanger is a kind of equipment that can play multiple benefits and functions for us. The user clearly knows its role and protects it so that it can play a greater role.

    Advantages of plate heat exchangers
    High heat transfer coefficient. The plate heat exchanger has a small flow channel, the plates are wavy, and the cross-section changes are complex, which makes the flow direction and velocity of the fluid constantly change, which increases the disturbance of the fluid and has a high heat transfer coefficient.

    Great adaptability. The required heat transfer area can be achieved by increasing or decreasing the plate. A heat exchanger can be divided into several units, which can be used for heating or cooling between several fluids at the same time.

    Compact structure, small size and few consumables. The heat transfer area per cubic meter volume can reach 250m2, and the heat transfer surface per square meter only needs about 15kg of metal.

    Dirt factor is small. Due to the large flow disturbance, dirt is not easily deposited. The plate heat exchanger plate is of good material and has little corrosion, which makes its fouling coefficient value smaller. Plate heat exchangers mainly use metal plates, so the price of raw materials is cheaper than the same metal pipes.

    Disadvantages of plate heat exchangers
    1) Poor sealing and easy to leak. The gasket needs to be replaced frequently, which is troublesome.
    2) The use pressure is limited, and generally does not exceed 1MPa.
    3) The use temperature is limited by the temperature resistance of the gasket material.
