An energy-saving boiler truck steam generator

ActiveCN120313034BBoiler water tubesFlash steam boilersThermal deformationWater leak
This invention discloses an energy-saving boiler vehicle steam generator, relating to the field of energy-saving boiler technology. It includes a boiler drum with end caps fixedly installed at both ends. It also includes a heat exchange tube assembly located inside the boiler drum, comprising two support rings fixedly connected to the sides of the end caps facing the boiler drum. Four support plates are arranged in a rectangular array between the two support rings, with the length direction of the support plates aligned with the axial direction of the support rings. Each support plate has a U-shaped spring fixedly connected to one end facing the support ring, with the opening direction of the U-shaped spring aligned with the axial direction of the support ring. The side of each U-shaped spring away from the support plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of the corresponding support ring. By floating the spiral heat exchange tubes, the constraint force during thermal deformation is reduced, avoiding the cracking, water leakage, and air leakage that easily occur with traditional fixed-connection heat exchange tubes, ultimately leading to heat source waste.
