The invention discloses a cold water
heat exchanger with a plurality of sections of shells, a
copper pipe, a waterway and double partition plates. The
heat exchanger comprises shells, a front end cover, a front separation plate, the partition plates, a rear end cover, a rear separation plate and the
copper pipe, wherein the shells are cylindrical
cast iron shells, and the plurality of sections ofshells are connected end to end in series and are sealed; the shell of each section serves as an outer shell of an
evaporator of a refrigerating
system; the shell of each section is provided with a
refrigerant inlet, a
refrigerant outlet, an exhaust port and an oil
discharge port, wherein the bottom shell of the front end cover is of an Arabic number 8 shape, and each partition plate is composed of two
flange plates which are welded to the shells on the left side and the right side correspondingly; a water cavity is formed between the rear end cover and the rear separation plate; and an annular groove is formed in the rear separation plate. According to the
heat exchanger, water channels of the evaporators of a plurality of
refrigeration systems are used in common, so that the space occupation is reduced; and the operation in a stable working condition can be guaranteed at any time according to the actual operation condition.
