Abstract
A reactor is disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a reactor comprises a reactor tank having an accommodation space therein for performing a polymerization reaction of a reactive fluid, an outer refrigerant jacket positioned outside the reactor tank and having a refrigerant flowing therethrough, and an inner refrigerant jacket inside the reactor tank and having a refrigerant flowing therethrough. The refrigerants of the outer refrigerant jacket and the inner refrigerant jacket may flow in opposite directions to each other.
Claims5
A reactor, comprising:
- a reactor tank having an accommodation space therein for performing a polymerization reaction of a reactive fluid;
- an outer refrigerant jacket positioned outside the reactor tank and having a refrigerant flowing therethrough;
- an inner refrigerant jacket positioned inside the reactor tank and having a refrigerant flowing therethrough;
- an impeller disposed in the accommodation space of the reactor tank and configured to induce directionality of the reactive fluid;
- one or more guide vanes disposed inside the reactor tank and configured to guide a flow of the reactive fluid in the same direction as the impeller, and
- wherein the refrigerants of the outer refrigerant jacket and the inner refrigerant jacket flow in opposite directions to each other,
- wherein the outer refrigerant jacket comprises an outer refrigerant inlet through which the refrigerant enters the outer refrigerant jacket and an outer refrigerant outlet through which the refrigerant is discharged,
- wherein the inner refrigerant jacket comprises an inner refrigerant inlet through which the refrigerant enters the inner refrigerant jacket and an inner refrigerant outlet through which the refrigerant is discharged,
- wherein the outer refrigerant inlet and the inner refrigerant inlet are positioned on opposite sides of the reactor tank and spaced apart in a vertical direction,
- wherein the outer refrigerant outlet and the inner refrigerant outlet are positioned on opposite sides of the reactor tank and spaced apart in the vertical direction,
- wherein the outer refrigerant inlet and the inner refrigerant outlet are positioned at the lower end of the reactor tank, and the outer refrigerant outlet and the inner refrigerant inlet are positioned at the upper end of the reactor tank,
- wherein each of the outer refrigerant jacket and the inner refrigerant jacket comprises a pipe in which the refrigerant flows,
- wherein each of the pipes of the outer refrigerant jacket and the inner refrigerant jacket is wound in a coil shape,
- wherein the inner refrigerant jacket has a partition wall so that two flow paths are formed by the inner refrigerant jacket, a first flow path on the inside of the inner refrigerant jacket and a second flow path on the outside of the inner refrigerant jacket, wherein the outside of the inner refrigerant jacket faces the walls of the reactor tank,
- wherein the impeller is positioned inside and outside the inner refrigerant jacket, and induces ascent of the reactive fluid inside the inner refrigerant jacket and descent of the reactive fluid outside the inner refrigerant jacket,
- wherein the one or more guide vanes comprises:
- a first guide vane;
- and
- a second guide vane,
- wherein the first and second guide vanes are disposed at opposite ends of the reactor tank along the vertical direction, and
- wherein each of the first and second guide vanes comprises a support plate and a guide part protruding from the support plate toward the accommodation space of the reactor tank.
