Auto refrigeration

Absorption of heat (auto-refrigeration) and eonsequent temperature reduetion on flashing may have a serious effeet on assoeiated heat transfer media, upon the strength of materials of eonstruetion, and result in frosting at the point of leakage. Exposure of personnel eandes a risk of frostbite. [Pg.50]

In the auto-refrigerated reactor shown below, an exothermic reaction A —> B is carried out using a low boiling solvent C. The heat of reaction is removed from the reactor by vapourising the solvent, condensing the vapour in the reflux condenser and returning the condensate as saturated liquid to the reactor. The total holdup of liquid in the reactor is maintained constant, but the temperature of the reactor is controlled by regulating the mass flow of vapour to the condenser. The example is taken from the paper of Luyben (1960). [Pg.357]

Because of its large reactor volume, the auto-refrigerated process can operate at very low alkene space velocities of about 0.1 h-1 LHSV (WHSV ca. 0.03 h 1). This design helps in increasing the octane number of the product and lowering acid consumption. The reaction temperature is maintained at about 278 K to minimize side reactions. Spent acid is withdrawn as 90-92 wt% acid. The isobutane concentration in the hydrocarbon phase is kept between 50 and 70 vol%. [Pg.302]

An auto-refrigeration effect may be produced in a pressure vessel, which provides cooling of liquid contained in the vessel. [Pg.124]

During a several-day outage of the refrigeration unit outage, the ethylene tank absorbed ambient heat and the internal pressure increased. The backup plan to cool by auto refrigeration as vapor escaped via the open relief valve was underway. As planned, a flow of steam was routed to the stack in hopes of safely dispersing the cold gases. [Pg.46]

The alkylate released from the acid phase, will be absorbed by the Isobutane liquid and removed from the crystallizer. Without this removal of alkylate, crystal size growth control is difficult. A portion of the alkylation reactor auto-refrigerant recycle from the bottom of the depropanizer tower is used for this purpose. [Pg.307]

The extent of flashing depends upon the fluid being pumped, but flashing has two basic effects. First, it creates a vapor-lock situation where vapor generation prevents head buildup and causes cavitation, and the pump cannot be started up. Second, in the case of light liquefied products (both hydrocarbon and nonhydrocarbon), flashing within the pump can create very low temperatures and cause auto-refrigeration. [Pg.31]

Many alkylation units use auto refrigeration to cool their reactors. Effluent refrigeration commonly used on Stratco units also falls within this classification. To maximize isobutane purity in the refrigerant recycle stream, circulating refrigerant is depropanized. [Pg.459]
