The tower kettle reboiler is a key accessory device for distillation towers, reaction kettles and other equipment in process industries such as chemical and petroleum industries. Its core function is to provide the heat required for vaporization of the liquid at the bottom of the tower, maintain the material and energy balance of the process, and is specifically reflected in:
1. Heat supply and vaporization drive: Heating the liquid in the tower kettle through a heat medium (such as steam, thermal oil), partially vaporizing it to form rising steam, providing energy for gas-liquid mass transfer (component separation) or reaction processes in the distillation tower, and is the core heat source to maintain the continuous operation of the process.
2. Maintain system balance: The amount of steam directly affects the flow and mass transfer efficiency of gas-liquid two-phase in the tower, thereby controlling key process parameters such as product purity and reaction conversion rate, ensuring the stability of distillation or reaction processes.
