[0049] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate representative embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the present invention.

[0050] The present invention provides a plate heat exchanger 100, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the plate heat exchanger 100 includes a shell 110 and a core 120 (the core 120 is Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1 , the core 120 is disposed inside the housing 110. The housing 110 includes a panel. To facilitate the flow of fluid into the core 120, the panel is provided with an opening for the fluid to flow in or out. Figure 1 As shown, the panel may include a first panel 111, a second panel 112, a third panel and a fourth panel. The first panel 111 and the third panel may be arranged opposite to each other, and the second panel 112 and the fourth panel may be arranged opposite to each other.

[0051] exist Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the first panel 111 may be provided with a first feed port 113, which is in fluid communication with the core 120 and is used to deliver the first fluid into the core 120. The third panel may be provided with a first discharge port (not shown), which is in fluid communication with the core 120 and is used to discharge the first fluid after heat exchange.

[0052] The second panel 112 may be provided with a second feed port 114, which is in fluid communication with the core 120 and is used to deliver the second fluid into the core 120. The fourth panel may be provided with a second discharge port (not shown), which is in fluid communication with the core 120 and is used to discharge the second fluid after heat exchange.

[0053] In the core 120 , the first fluid and the second fluid flow in different directions (eg, directions perpendicular to each other), respectively, and the first fluid and the second fluid can perform heat exchange in the core 120 .

[0054] The specific structure of the core 120 is described below.

[0055] In order to increase the overall heat exchange area inside the plate heat exchanger 100, Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the core 120 includes a plurality of modules and a plurality of comb plates 140, the plurality of modules are fluidically connected, the comb plates 140 are connected to the corners of the modules by welding, and the plurality of modules are welded together by the comb plates 140. In this way, the plate heat exchanger 100 can be made of less raw materials, and the plate heat exchanger 100 can achieve heat recovery to the maximum extent, consume less energy, have a smaller temperature difference at the end, and can better handle the problem of temperature crossover.

[0056] For example, Figure 5 As shown, the plurality of modules include a first module 131, a second module 132, a third module 133 and a fourth module 134, and the first module 131, the second module 132, the third module 133 and the fourth module 134 are respectively connected to the comb plate 140 by welding. Of course, the number and arrangement of the modules are not limited to the number and arrangement listed in this embodiment. For example, the plurality of modules include at least two modules, and the at least two modules can be arranged in an array.

[0057] In order to increase the heat exchange area inside the plate heat exchanger 100, the first module 131 and the second module 132 can be attached to each other along the first direction D1 and welded together through the attached comb plates 140, and the first fluid can flow between the first module 131 and the second module 132 along the first direction D1. The third module 133 and the fourth module 134 can be attached to each other along the first direction D1 and welded together through the attached comb plates 140, and the first fluid can flow between the third module 133 and the fourth module 134 along the first direction D1.

[0058] The first module 131 and the third module 133 may be spaced apart along the second direction D2 and welded together through the opposite comb plates 140, and the second fluid flows along the second direction D2 between the first module 131 and the third module 133. The second module 132 and the fourth module 134 may be spaced apart along the second direction D2 and welded together through the opposite comb plates 140, and the second fluid flows along the second direction D2 between the second module 132 and the fourth module 134.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, there is a cavity between the first module 131 and the third module 133, and the second fluid flows along the second direction D2 through the cavity between the first module 131 and the third module 133 to the third module 133. The flow mode of the second fluid along the second direction D2 between the second module 132 and the fourth module 134 is similar to the flow mode between the first module 131 and the third module 133, and will not be repeated here.

[0060] The structure of the first module 131 is explained below by taking it as an example.

[0061] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the first module 131 may include a plurality of heat exchange plates 150, which are arranged in parallel and adjacent heat exchange plates 150 are connected together by welding. In this way, the volume of the core 120 of the plate heat exchanger 100 can be made smaller, the difficulty of processing can be reduced during the production process, torsional deformation can be avoided, the manufacturing accuracy can be guaranteed, and the cost is low. At the same time, the heat exchange area of ​​the core 120 can be made larger, and no gasket is set between the heat exchange plates 150, which can be used in high temperature and high pressure environments. Less scale can also be formed inside the plate heat exchanger 100, reducing the number of cleaning times and extending the service life of the plate heat exchanger 100.

[0062] The cross section of the heat exchange plate 150 may be rectangular for easy connection and arrangement. In order to make the connection between adjacent heat exchange plates 150 more secure, preferably, the heat exchange plates 150 may be connected together by automatic plasma beam welding.

[0063] In order to facilitate the fluid to flow between two adjacent heat exchange plates 150, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, preferably, the heat exchange plate 150 includes a body portion 151 and a U-shaped protrusion 152, and the U-shaped protrusion 152 can protrude along the thickness direction of the body portion 151. The U-shaped protrusion 152 is arranged at the end of the body portion 151, and the U-shaped protrusion 152 includes two opposite side protrusions 158 and an end protrusion 159 located between the two side protrusions 158, and the comb plate 140 is welded to the side protrusions 158.

[0064] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the plurality of heat exchange plates may include a first heat exchange plate 154, a second heat exchange plate 155, a third heat exchange plate 156 and a fourth heat exchange plate 157 arranged in parallel. The first heat exchange plate 154 and the second heat exchange plate 155 are adjacent to each other, and the first heat exchange plate 154 and the second heat exchange plate 155 are configured so that the protruding directions of their respective U-shaped protrusions 152 are opposite. The body portion 151 of the first heat exchange plate 154 and the body portion 151 of the second heat exchange plate 155 are connected together by welding, so that a second fluid channel can be formed between the first heat exchange plate 154 and the second heat exchange plate 155, and the second fluid can flow through the second fluid channel.

[0065] The second heat exchange plate 155 is adjacent to the third heat exchange plate 156, and the second heat exchange plate 155 and the third heat exchange plate 156 are configured so that their respective U-shaped protrusions protrude in opposite directions, and the U-shaped protrusion of the second heat exchange plate 155 and the U-shaped protrusion of the third heat exchange plate 156 are connected together by welding, so that a first fluid channel is formed between the second heat exchange plate 155 and the third heat exchange plate 156, and the first fluid can flow through the first fluid channel.

[0066] The third heat exchange plate 156 is adjacent to the fourth heat exchange plate 157, and the third heat exchange plate 156 and the fourth heat exchange plate 157 are configured so that their respective U-shaped protrusions protrude in opposite directions, and the main body of the third heat exchange plate 156 and the main body of the fourth heat exchange plate 157 are connected together by welding to form a second fluid channel, and the second fluid can flow through the second fluid channel.

[0067] In order to further increase the heat exchange area between fluids, such as Figure 2 As shown, the main body 151 of the heat exchange plate 150 may be provided with corrugations, which protrude from the main body 151 in the same direction as the U-shaped protrusion 152, so that the flow turbulence of the fluid can be high, and the heat transfer coefficient can reach 2 to 4 times that of a conventional shell and tube heat exchanger, so that the heat exchange area of ​​the plate heat exchanger 100 is 25% to 50% of that of a conventional shell and tube heat exchanger. Preferably, the depth of the corrugations can be 2 mm to 10 mm, so that the heat exchange efficiency can be further improved. Furthermore, in order to improve the heat exchange efficiency of the first fluid and the second fluid in the module, the corrugations of adjacent heat exchange plates 150 can be arranged in a staggered manner to form a three-dimensional mesh fluid channel, and the first fluid and the second fluid can flow in a cross-staggered partition wall manner in the module.

[0068] The comb plate 140 can be welded to the side protrusions 158 of the heat exchange plate 150, so as to prevent the heat exchange plate 150 from being deformed by welding. Preferably, in order to make the comb plate 140 and the heat exchange plate 150 connected more firmly and stably, the four corners of the heat exchange plate 150 are provided with side protrusions 158, and each side protrusion 158 can be connected to the comb plate 140.

[0069] Further, in order to prevent the first fluid and the second fluid from mixing, as Figure 4 As shown, the four corners of the first module 131 can be connected to a comb plate 140. Preferably, the same corner of the first module 131 can be connected to multiple comb plates 140, and the multiple comb plates 140 can be arranged in sequence along the height direction of the first module 131. Adjacent comb plates 140 can be connected together by welding, so that it is easy to process the comb plates 140, reduce errors, and reduce deformation during welding. Of course, in order to facilitate processing, the same corner of the first module 131 can be connected to the same comb plate 140.

[0070] In order to make the heat exchange plate 150 and the comb plate 140 welded more firmly, the heat exchange plate 150 and the comb plate 140 can be connected together by automatic plasma beam welding. In order to enhance the structural strength of the heat exchange plate 150 and the comb plate 140, preferably, the thickness of the heat exchange plate 150 can be 0.8mm to 1.2mm, and the thickness of the comb plate 140 can be 2mm to 5mm. In addition, in order to further improve the heat exchange efficiency and facilitate processing, the material of the heat exchange plate 150 and / or the comb plate 140 can be austenitic stainless steel, nickel-based alloy or titanium.

[0071] Furthermore, if Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in order to make the core 120 and the panel connected together with good sealing, the plate heat exchanger also includes a column 160 and a column frame 161. The column frame 161 is arranged at the corner of the core 120 and extends along the height direction of the shell 110. The comb plate 140 can be connected to the column frame 161 by welding. The corners of the first module 131, the second module 132, the third module 133 and the fourth module 134 can be welded with the column frame 161 respectively. Preferably, in order to ensure that the column frame 161 has sufficient structural strength, the material of the column frame 161 can be austenitic stainless steel, nickel-based alloy or titanium, and the thickness of the column frame 161 can be 2mm to 5mm.

[0072] The column 160 is disposed inside the column frame 161 and is detachably connected to the housing 110. Preferably, the column 160 can be detachably connected to the panel by bolts, so as to facilitate disassembly and assembly, and then facilitate cleaning and maintenance of the core 120. In order to ensure sufficient structural strength, the column 160 is made of carbon steel. The column frame 161 and the column 160 can separate the first fluid and the second fluid to prevent the first fluid from the first feed port 113 and the second fluid from the second feed port 114 from mixing.

[0073] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, the shell 110 may also include a top plate 116. In an optional embodiment, a top plate 116 may be provided on the top of each module to maintain pressure. For example, the top plate 116 may be connected to the corner of the topmost heat exchange plate of the first module 131 and the comb plate 140 connected to the first module 131 by welding. In order to ensure the sealing effect of the plate heat exchanger 100 and the stability of its structure, multiple top plates 116 may be connected together by welding. In another optional embodiment, for ease of operation, the tops of multiple modules may be connected to the same top plate 116.

[0074] Furthermore, the housing 110 may further include a bottom plate (not shown), and the connection between the bottom plate and the column 160 is similar to the connection between the top plate 116 and the column 160, which will not be described in detail. Preferably, in order to ensure the structural strength of the top plate 116 and the bottom plate, the thickness of the top plate 116 and / or the bottom plate is 2 to 5 mm.

[0075] The working process of the plate heat exchanger 100 is described below.

[0076] The first feed port 113 is in fluid communication with the core 120, and the first fluid can enter the first module 131 and the third module 133 through the first feed port 113. The second feed port 114 is in fluid communication with the core 120, and the second fluid can enter the first module 131 and the second module 132 through the second feed port 114.

[0077] The first fluid may flow along the first direction D1 from the first module 131 to the second module 132, and may flow along the first direction D1 from the third module 133 to the fourth module 134. The second fluid may flow along the second direction D2 from the first module 131 to the third module 133, and may flow along the second direction D2 from the second module 132 to the fourth module 134.

[0078] The first fluid and the second fluid can perform heat exchange in the core 120 , the first outlet can discharge the first fluid after the heat exchange, and the second outlet can discharge the second fluid after the heat exchange.

[0079] In another embodiment not shown in the figure, a feed port and a discharge port may be arranged on the same panel. For example, a first panel and a second panel are adjacent, and the first panel is arranged with a first feed port and a first discharge port, and the first feed port may be arranged above the first discharge port along the height direction of the plate heat exchanger, and the first fluid may enter the core through the first feed port. A second panel is arranged with a second feed port and a second discharge port, and the second feed port may be arranged above the second discharge port along the height direction of the plate heat exchanger, and the second fluid may enter the core through the second feed port.
