Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of heat exchanger technology, specifically relating to a wound tube composite air cooler. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, air coolers are frequently used in high-pressure fields such as hydrogenation and hydrocracking, as disclosed in invention patent applications CN202110477804.0 entitled "Hydrogenation Heat Exchange System and Heat Exchange Process Using Multi-Stream Wound Tube Heat Exchanger" (application publication number CN113063309A) and CN202110477790.2 entitled "A Heat Exchange System and Heat Exchange Process for Hydrogenation Process" (application publication number CN113267075A).

[0003] Air coolers are generally classified into dry air coolers and wet air coolers according to their cooling methods. Dry air coolers rely on continuous airflow from fans for cooling, which has drawbacks such as large resistance drop, large equipment size, and the need for multiple units to operate in parallel, thus occupying a large space. Furthermore, the heat exchange efficiency of dry air coolers is not ideal, resulting in high energy consumption (such as metals) and complex piping. Wet air coolers enhance heat exchange through the spraying or atomization of coolant (usually water), achieving better heat exchange efficiency than dry air coolers. However, they are limited in terms of pressure resistance and size, making them difficult to apply in high-pressure fields such as hydrogenation and hydrocracking. In addition, the high-pressure hot gases have a certain degree of corrosiveness, and wet air coolers typically use expensive nickel-based alloys to prevent ammonium salt corrosion, resulting in high costs. Moreover, wet air coolers often use top water spraying, which suffers from uneven spraying, large water volume, and ineffective evaporation of heat exchange tubes, leading to low heat exchange efficiency and high water consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a wound tube composite air cooler that can improve the heat exchange effect, in light of the current state of the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a wound tube type composite air cooler, comprising:

[0006] The shell-side cylindrical body is vertically arranged, with an air inlet and an air outlet at each of its two ends;
