This type of heat exchanger has two cavities, and the sealing of the two cavities is mainly ensured by the welded joints (pipe joints) between the heat exchange tubes and the tube sheets. During the design and manufacturing process, the welding quality of the pipe joints directly affects the quality, safety and service life of the heat exchanger. The connection methods of the pipe joints generally include strength welding, strength expansion, strength welding + expansion, inner hole welding and other types.

The heat exchange tube specification diameter is 25×2, material S30403, length 11300mm, quantity 2020, tube sheet material S30403Ⅲ. The medium of the tube side is nitrogen oxide, there is a cooling spray at the front end of the inlet, and the axial feed forms a strong corrosive medium boiling acid at the tube sheet, and the chloride ion concentration is concentrated, forming a strong corrosive environment. The pipe joint adopts an internal hole welding structure and is formed on the shell side. It belongs to a butt welding structure. This type of joint has high connection strength, prevents gap corrosion, butt joints can bear large loads, there is no residual stress caused by expansion, there is no stress concentration area of ​​the weld root cut that appears in the end welding joint, and can withstand fatigue loads, etc., with outstanding advantages.

[0004] Common problems are that the welded joint is not fully welded and breaks during use, resulting in mixing of the heat exchanger tube and shell medium; the intergranular corrosion resistance of the welded joint decreases, and it is easy to be corroded and damaged in a corrosive environment, resulting in leakage, affecting the quality of the final product.

After completion, the heat exchange tube 5 must be tested for ammonia leakage in addition to the water pressure test to ensure the welding quality.

[0050] The welding parameters are as follows:

[0051] Serial number Parameter name and unit Specific parameters 1 Advance air supply time (S) 10 2 Delayed air supply time (S) 6 3 Pre-melting time (S) 2 4 Pre-melting current (A) 90 5 Current decay position (°) 370 6 Current decay time (S) 5 7 Peak current (A) 120 8 Peak time (S) 0.2 9 Base current (A) 45 10 Base value time (S) 0.2 11 Welding speed (mm / min) 125 12 Argon gas flow rate (L / min) 12L / min (inside) / 10L / min (outside) 13 120° Current (A) 117 14 240° Current (A) 114 15 Arc voltage (V) 12

[0052] The following is an explanation of the welding of a heat exchange tube 5 with an outer diameter of 25 mm. The distance between the positioning ring 2 on the tube sheet 1 and the end of the through hole on the tube sheet 1 is 1.5 mm, the depth of the stress relief groove 3 is 4.5 mm, the radius of the bottom fillet of the stress relief groove 3 is 1.5 mm, the length of the positioning ring 2 along the axial direction of the tube sheet 1 is 1.5 mm, the outer diameter of the positioning ring 2 is 25.2 mm, and the deviation is ±0.05 mm.

[0053] The diameter of the through hole on the tube sheet 1 must match the head positioning block 14, which can not only position the welding gun 13, but also make it convenient for the welding gun 13 to enter and exit the tube hole. The diameter of the through hole on the tube sheet 1 is 23mm, with a deviation of ±0.1mm.

[0054] The inner diameter of the cavity formed by the upper clamp body 7 and the lower clamp body 6 is 27mm, and the outer diameter of the heat exchange tube 5 is 25mm. The rear ends of the upper clamp body 7 and the lower clamp body 6 are tightly fitted with the heat exchange tube 5 to reduce gas leakage. The front ends are inserted into the stress release groove 3, and the thickness of the inserted end is 2mm thinner than the main body and is processed into a semicircular serrated shape to facilitate gas outflow, forming a high-purity argon atmosphere in the cavity to protect the back of the weld and prevent oxidation.

[0055] The upper clamp body 7 and the lower clamp body 6 of the inner hole welding protection tooling are connected by steps to prevent radial rubbing.

[0056] The lower clamp is threadedly connected to the slide rail 8, the slide rail 8 has a diameter of 5mm and a length of 100mm. The upper clamp body 7 is slidably connected to the slide rail 8 through an L-shaped pressure rod 12. A slider is arranged between the L-shaped pressure rod 12 and the slide rail 8. The slider is threadedly connected to the L-shaped pressure rod 12 and the positioning bolt. The L-shaped pressure rod 12 has a diameter of 5mm, and the positioning bolt is M5 and 10mm long.

[0057] The sliding block should be drilled and the processing accuracy should be high, with a roughness of 6.3μm. The ends of the L-shaped pressure rod 12 and the positioning bolt must be processed into arc surfaces with an arc radius of 2.5mm. The L-shaped pressure rod 12 and the slide rail 8 slide smoothly, and the positioning bolt fits in a semicircle with the slide rail 8 to form a circular cross-section with the L-shaped pull rod. The contact area is large during positioning, and the positioning is accurate and firm.

[0058] The upper clamp body 7 and the lower clamp body 6 of the inner hole welding protection tooling are made of red copper, which will not adhere to the weld during use and has a good thermal conductivity. The welding of stainless steel requires rapid cooling, and copper can promote cooling.

[0059] The air inlet pipe 11 on the upper clamp body 7 is connected to the argon gas belt.

[0060] The L-shaped pressure rod 12 is threadedly connected to the upper clamp body 7, and the turning part of the L-shaped pull rod is completed by welding.

[0061] The inner hole welding protection tooling, after the heat exchange tube 5 is accurately positioned, the lower clamp is inserted into the heat exchange tube 5, and the upper clamp is moved down to fasten the position, and then inserted into the stress release groove 3 together to complete the assembly work.

[0062] The tungsten electrode is positioned axially and inserted into the tube hole accurately to facilitate welding. The tungsten electrode should be 0.5mm on the side of the heat exchange tube 5. The inner diameter of the heat exchange tube 5 is 21mm, and a convex shoulder is formed with the through hole on the tube sheet 1. The exposed thickness of the convex shoulder is 1.5mm, which can be used as the deposited metal. High heat is required during welding, so the tungsten electrode should cross the convex shoulder by 0.5mm.

[0063] The radial positioning of the tungsten electrode, the distance between the extreme end of the tungsten electrode and the inner wall of the heat exchange tube 5 are closely related to arc striking and welding, and there is an optimal distance, which should be 0.5 mm. For a heat exchange tube 5 with a diameter of 25 mm × 2 mm, the distance from the bottom of the welding gun 13 to the extreme end of the tungsten electrode is 16.80 mm, and the distance is measured with a vernier caliper.

[0064] The tungsten tip should be ground into a needle tip to facilitate arc starting and welding.

[0065] The above structure, tooling and welding method can realize the inner hole welding of the shell and tube heat exchanger, and a full penetration structure can be obtained, and the weld surface is silvery white.

[0066] The inner hole welding structure and welding method can be extended to similar equipment or structures with inner holes welded inside.

[0067] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0068] 1) Reliable use: The present invention adopts an inner hole welding protection tooling on the outer surface of the weld to prevent the pipe joint from being not welded through and the outer surface of the weld from being oxidized. During welding, high-purity argon or other protective gases are introduced into the inner hole welding protection tooling, and a protective gas atmosphere is formed outside the weld through the channel formed by the upper and lower clamps, making the weld surface smooth. The operator only needs to install the ventilation, and the operation is safe and practical.

[0069] 2) Easy to operate: The tube sheet 1 is easy to process and can be processed with a common CNC multi-hole drill, and the dimensional accuracy can also meet the requirements. The production of the inner hole welding protection tooling can be completed by a lathe, milling machine, and electric spark cutting machine. When in use, it is easy to install and position, the operation is simple and flexible, and the locking adopts threaded connection, which is easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0070] 3) Good welding quality: During welding, after the heat exchange tube 5 is positioned, the inner hole welding protection tooling is simple to install, and after the welding gun 13 is inserted according to the method, automatic welding can be realized to obtain a full penetration welding joint, and the inside and outside are not oxidized and are silver-white.

[0071] 4) Strong applicability: The present invention is applicable to heat exchange tubes 5 with diameters of 25 mm and 19 mm, and similar structural dimensions and welding methods can be used. Heat exchange tubes 5 with outer diameters of 25 mm and 19 mm are commonly used in shell and tube heat exchangers.

[0072] 5) The effect of setting up the inner hole welding protection tooling is remarkable; the main body of the inner hole welding protection tooling is made of red copper, which can form a channel for argon gas and is a good conductor of heat, which can quickly cool the weld and form an austenite structure.
