Tubular heat exchanger

Abstract

The invention provides a tubular heat exchanger. The tubular heat exchanger comprises a shell, heat exchange tubes, a tube pass inlet tube, a tube pass outlet tube, a tube pass inlet connecting tube and a tube pass outlet connecting tube. A heat exchange tube bundle formed by the multiple heat exchange tubes which are arranged in parallel is connected to a front tube plate and a rear tube plate. The front end of the front tube plate is connected with a front sealing head. The rear end of the rear tube plate is connected with a rear sealing head. The tube pass inlet tube is arranged on the rearsealing head. The tube pass outlet tube is arranged on the front sealing head. The tube pass inlet connecting tube and the tube pass outlet connecting tube are both arranged on the shell. Fluid of two-phase flow enters through the tube pass inlet tube, carries out heat exchange through the heat exchange tubes, and goes out of the tube pass outlet tube. The fluid in the heat exchange tubes is thegas and liquid two-phase flow in which the gas phase is insoluble or slightly soluble gas, and in other words, the gas will not dissolve in the liquid in the process of heat exchange. The ratio of thelength L of each heat exchange tube to the diameter of the shell of the heat exchanger ranges from 6 to 10. The tubular heat exchanger is a gas and liquid two-phase flow heat exchanger of a novel structure.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, in particular to a two-phase flow heat exchanger containing non-condensable gas. Background technique [0002] Two-phase flow heat exchange containing non-condensable gas widely exists in heat exchange devices, for example, non-condensable gas is mixed in the heat exchange process, or non-condensable gas is produced due to equipment aging during fluid transportation, and natural gas, for example Condensation of mixed media with different boiling points, air separation, mixed refrigerant refrigeration, petroleum or waste plastic cracking, production The main technological process of industries such as material gas production. [0003] The existence of the gas phase in the heat exchange process of the fluid containing non-condensable gas will lead to low heat exchange efficiency, worse heat exchange, unstable fluid flow process, and water hammer phenomenon. When the gas-liquid phase of the two-p...

Problems solved by technology

However, it was found during the operation of this device that the space A formed between the three pipes is relatively small because the pipes are tightly combined, because the space A is formed by the convex arc of the three pipes, so most of the space A The narrow space will prevent the fluid from entering and passing through, resulting in a short circuit of the fluid, which affects the heat exchange of the fluid and cannot play a good role in stabilizing the flow.

Simultaneously because the many tubes of above-mentioned structure are combined together, manufacture difficulty
