How to arrange two reboilers
Thread Content
Dear sea friends, may I ask how the two reboilers at the bottom of the tower should be arranged, and what are the precautions to take? Thank you here first
I need to see what kind of heat source is used there. What I’m studying currently is methanol distillation; the pressure tower uses two reboilers – one powered by steam and the other by converted gas. They are located on either side of the tower, which seems quite logical. Do you mean those?
We plan to use the gas phase at the top of another high-pressure tower to exchange heat with that tower, and then cool and heat them separately. So at the top of the tower, there are two heat exchangers connected in series. Are those at the bottom of the tower also connected in series or in parallel? And are the reboilers arranged symmetrically on both sides of the tower? Thank you!
The two heat exchangers at the top of the tower are connected in series, while the two reboilers at the bottom should be arranged symmetrically on either side of the tower; they can also be connected in parallel.
Some of the distillation towers in our branch plant use two reboilers, located on both sides at the bottom of the tower in a symmetrical arrangement; the heat source is steam
