DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following description.

[0042] Figure 1-5In the figure, the bracket ring 9, the baffle 10, the diffuser 11, and the tripod bracket 12 are installed inside the lower tube box 1. The bracket ring 9 is installed and fixed at one-third of the height from the bottom of the lower tube box 1. The baffle 10 is fixed by the four fixed brackets 92 of the bracket ring 9. The diffuser 11 is located in the middle of the lower tube box 1, and its center is fixed to the end point of the short side of the tripod bracket 12. The two long sides of the tripod bracket 12 are respectively fixed to the wall of the lower tube box 1. The heat exchanger tubes 2 are connected to the upper tube box 3. The upper part of the upper tube box 3 is connected to the liquid-solid separation box 4. The liquid-solid separation box 4 is divided into two routes. The lower route passes through the solid phase, and the downcomer 5 is connected to the solid particle tank 6. The upper route passes through the liquid phase and flows into the liquid storage tank 7. The upper inlet is equipped with a sieve plate to prevent solid particles from passing through. The liquid in the liquid storage tank 7 is transported to the lower tube box 1 by the liquid circulation pump 8. The solid particles in the solid particle tank 6 are mixed with the liquid through the elliptical elbow 13 and flow into the lower tube box 1.

[0043] Crude oil flows from the liquid storage tank through 7, passes through a liquid circulation pump 8, and is pumped into the lower pipe box 1. Together with the inert solid particles flowing out of the elliptical elbow 13, it undergoes preliminary dispersion through a support ring 9 equipped with baffles 10. The particles are then fluidized and evenly distributed by a rotating diffusion disk 11 before entering the heat exchanger tubes 2, where they are repeatedly flushed against the walls of the tubes. The flushing of the solid particles prevents dirt from adhering to and agglomerating on the walls of the tubes 2. The crude oil in the tube side and the water in the shell side complete heat exchange. The solid particles and water are separated in the liquid-solid separation box 4. The liquid phase circulates back to the liquid storage tank 7, and the solid phase enters the solid particle tank 6 through a downcomer 5. The particles descending from the solid particle tank are mixed again with the liquid from the liquid storage tank 7 and enter the lower pipe box, completing the solid particle circulation.
