Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
There is provided a large-sized reboiler that can achieve space saving and reduction in plant cost. Specifically, there is provided a large-sized reboiler comprising a vessel of which a liquid is supplied from a lower part and a vaporized gas is discharged from an upper part; and a heat transfer tube group arranged in such a manner that a void penetrating in the up-and-down direction is formed in the vessel, wherein a maximum length of a cross-sectional figure of a flow path for the liquid exceeds 2 m, and the void occupies 5 to 10% of an area of the cross-sectional figure of the flow path.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A large-sized reboiler comprising: a vessel into which a liquid is supplied from a lower part and a vaporized gas is discharged from an upper part; and a heat transfer tube group arranged in such a manner that a void penetrating in an up-and-down direction is formed in the vessel, wherein a maximum length of a cross-sectional figure in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the up-and-down direction exceeds 2 m, and the void occupies 5 to 10% of an area of the cross-sectional figure, and wherein the void penetrates in the up-and-down direction within the heat transfer tube group and the void exists between the periphery of an inner wall in the up-and-down direction of the vessel and the heat transfer tube group so as to be ring-shaped.
