What are the methods for operating the vacuum distillation column of a atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit with low energy consumption while maintaining high efficiency when the vacuum level is low?

The cooling load of the vacuum extraction system for the steam at the top of the vacuum distillation tower is relatively high; a vacuum pump is needed to help maintain the vacuum level at the tower top. Would using cold water at 7°C in the circulation system feeding the cooler, thereby allowing the oil and gas at the tower top to cool down more rapidly, be more beneficial for establishing the vacuum level there?

Using low-temperature water for cooling can effectively reduce the temperature of the oil and gas at the top of the tower, thereby lowering the saturated pressure of the steam and helping to increase the vacuum level. This method can reduce the load on the vacuum pump and improve the energy efficiency and operational efficiency of the system. Furthermore, reducing the temperature of oil and gas can also minimize potential condensation issues, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the vacuum distillation tower. Therefore, switching to low-temperature water at 7°C is beneficial for achieving a better top vacuum level. .
