Abstract
The falling film devolatilizer is a new type of devolatilization equipment, which has the advantages of high film-forming efficiency and no mechanical transmission. In this study, a devolatilizer with an open falling film substrate was designed, and the film-forming performance and surface renewal performance of high viscosity fluids under the falling film structure were numerically simulated. The results indicate that the opening of the falling film substrate makes the liquid film thinner, which is beneficial for the stretching of the liquid film. The advantages of the falling film under low viscosity and high flow rate conditions are more significant. Simultaneously, four bracket structures were designed. Compared with the rectangular bracket, the renewal frequency of fan-shaped brackets can be increased by more than 20%, and the flow rate can be increased by about 10%. The improvement of the two can directly improve the falling film devolatilization performance, so as to improve the polymer polymerization degree and improve the product performance. Therefore, exploring the falling film support frame with high devolatilization performance provides a certain engineering practical significance for the design of devolatilization equipment.
