AI Technical Summary
In existing heat exchanger cores, the shell-side medium has difficulty entering between adjacent spiral sections of the same spiral tube, affecting the heat exchanger's efficiency.
The outer circumferential wall of the central tube is designed with a wavy structure, which causes the heat exchange tubes to spirally wind along the axial direction, resulting in misalignment of adjacent spiral segments. A cleaning tube is also installed in the spiral tube to improve cleaning efficiency.
The increased contact area between the heat exchange tube and the medium improves heat exchange efficiency, and the design of the cleaning tube prevents scaling on the tube wall and stabilizes the winding structure.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of heat exchanger, and particularly relates to a heat exchange core body and a heat exchanger with the same. BACKGROUND
[0002] The existing heat exchange core body has a central cylinder and heat exchange pipes spirally wound on the outer periphery of the central cylinder, and the central cylinder is mostly a straight cylinder structure. The heat exchange pipes are spirally wound into multiple layers of spiral pipes from the inside to the outside, and each layer of spiral pipe is a straight cylinder structure consistent with the shape of the central cylinder, such as the structures disclosed in Patent No. ZL201220575936.3, Utility Model for Heat Exchanger Structure (Authorized Publication No. CN202902937U) and Patent No. ZL201420757685.X, Utility Model for High Heat Exchange Efficiency Spiral Pipe Heat Exchanger (Authorized Publication No. CN204388658U).
[0003] The existing heat exchange core body has the following technical problems to be solved: taking a vertical heat exchange core body as an example, the shell side medium is mostly exchanged with the medium in the heat exchange pipe through the gap between the radially adjacent two layers of spiral pipes, and the spiral segments of the same layer of spiral pipe (formed after winding around the central cylinder once) are overlapped in the up-down direction, so that the shell side medium is difficult to enter between the adjacent spiral segments of the same layer of spiral pipe in the up-down direction, thereby affecting the heat exchange efficiency of the whole heat exchanger. SUMMARY
[0004] The first technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a heat exchange core body to improve the heat exchange efficiency in view of the current situation of the prior art.
[0005] The second technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a heat exchanger with the above heat exchange core body.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present application to solve the above first technical problem is as follows: a heat exchange core body comprising:
[0007] a central cylinder having an outer peripheral wall;
[0008] a heat exchange pipe spirally wound on the outer peripheral wall of the central cylinder in the axial direction to form a spiral pipe, the spiral pipe having a plurality of spiral segments in the axial direction;
[0009] characterized in that:
[0010] the outer peripheral wall of the central cylinder presents a wave-shaped structure in the axial direction;
[0011] the shape of the spiral pipe matches the shape of the central cylinder, so that the adjacent spiral segments of the spiral pipe are staggered with each other in the axial direction.
[0012] The spiral pipe of the present application can be wound by one heat exchange pipe according to the prior art, or can be wound by multiple heat exchange pipes at the same time, regardless of which way is adopted, the adjacent spiral segments of the spiral pipe in the present application refer to the two adjacent segments in the axial direction. When winding by one heat exchange pipe, the adjacent spiral segments are connected; when winding by multiple heat exchange pipes at the same time, the adjacent spiral segments are not connected.
[0013] In this way, the spiral segments axially staggered with each other can increase the contact area between the pipe wall of the spiral segment and the heat exchange medium, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0014] To further improve the heat exchange efficiency, preferably, the heat exchange pipe is spirally wound into multiple layers of the spiral pipe from the inside to the outside, the shape of each layer of the spiral pipe matches the shape of the central cylinder, and the adjacent spiral segments of the adjacent two layers of the spiral pipe are also radially staggered with each other. In this way, the heat exchange efficiency can be further improved.
[0015] Due to the fact that the adjacent spiral segments of the spiral pipe in the axial direction are staggered with each other in the present application, the axial spiral segment pipe wall of the heat exchange pipe is easy to attach substances and affect the heat exchange of the heat exchange pipe. Therefore, preferably, a cleaning pipe is also included, which is spirally wound in each layer of the spiral pipe along the spiral direction of the heat exchange pipe, and the pipe wall of the cleaning pipe is provided with multiple through holes, so that the liquid sprayed from the through holes can flush the pipe wall of the heat exchange pipe.
[0016] To further improve the cleaning efficiency, preferably, for the cleaning pipe and the heat exchange pipe in the same layer of the spiral pipe, part of the multiple through holes on the cleaning pipe is opposite to the pipe wall of the adjacent spiral segment of the heat exchange pipe.
[0017] For the cleaning pipe and the heat exchange pipe in the adjacent two layers of the spiral pipe, the adjacent two layers of the spiral pipe are referred to as the first layer of the spiral pipe and the second layer of the spiral pipe, part of the multiple through holes of the cleaning pipe in the first layer of the spiral pipe is opposite to the gap between the adjacent two spiral segments of the heat exchange pipe in the second layer of the spiral pipe. In this way, the liquid sprayed from the through holes can be used to clean the position of the spiral segment which is easy to accumulate dirt.
[0018] In the above-mentioned schemes, preferably, the central cylinder is vertically arranged, and the contour line of the longitudinal section thereof includes a first wave-shaped line and a second wave-shaped line extending upward and downward, and the first wave-shaped line and the second wave-shaped line are symmetrically arranged with the central axis of the central cylinder as the center.
[0019] Preferably, the first wave-shaped line is connected by multiple groups of unit-shaped lines in sequence along the axial direction, each group of unit-shaped lines includes a first circular arc line and a second circular arc line having the same radius and arranged in an S shape, the second circular arc line is located above the first circular arc line, and the lower end of the second circular arc line is smoothly connected with the upper end of the first circular arc line, and the first and second circular arc lines are symmetrically arranged with their respective center lines perpendicular to the central axis of the central cylinder as the center.
[0020] Further, the radius of the first and second circular arc lines is R, the outer diameter of the heat exchange pipe is d, the horizontal line passing through the lower end of the first circular arc line is the X axis, and the central axis of the central cylinder is the Y axis to establish a coordinate system, the coordinates of the lower end of the first circular arc line are (-a, 0), the coordinates of the upper end of the first circular arc line and the lower end of the second circular arc line are (-a, 2b), and the coordinates of the upper end of the second circular arc line are (-a, 4b), the equation of the first circular arc line is [x1-(R 2 -b 2 ) 1 / 2 +a] 2 +(y1-b) 2 =R 2 , and the equation of the second circular arc line is [x2+(R 2 -b 2 ) 1 / 2 +a] 2 +(y2-3b) 2 =R 2 , wherein 0≤y1≤2b, -a≤x1≤0, 2b≤y2≤4b, -a≤x2≤0, 10d
[0021] The specific wave-shaped structure and the size design in the application are beneficial to improve the heat exchange effect, so that the heat exchange pipe wound on the outer periphery of the central cylinder can be in contact with the medium outside the heat exchange pipe in a large area, and the spiral winding of the heat exchange pipe is facilitated, so that the overall structure of the wound heat exchange pipe is stable.
[0022] In the above schemes, preferably, at least two pad strips are further included and are arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the central cylinder in a circumferential direction, each pad strip extends in the axial direction of the central cylinder and is in a wave shape matching the shape of the outer peripheral wall of the central cylinder, and the heat exchange pipe is wound on the outer periphery of each pad strip. In this way, the pad strip can constrain the winding position of the heat exchange pipe.
[0023] The technical scheme adopted by the application to solve the second technical problem is: a heat exchanger, having a shell side cylinder arranged vertically, and a tube sheet arranged at both ends of the shell side cylinder, characterized in that it further comprises a heat exchange core as described above, which is arranged vertically in the shell side cylinder, and the two ends of the central cylinder are constrained to the corresponding tube sheets.
[0024] Preferably, the two ends of the central cylinder are straight cylinders extending upward and downward, and the outer peripheral wall of the central cylinder between the two ends is in the wave shape described above.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the application has the advantages that: by designing the outer peripheral wall of the central cylinder to have a wave-shaped structure in the axial direction, the heat exchange pipes are helically wound on the outer peripheral wall of the central cylinder to form a spiral pipe matching the shape of the central cylinder, so that in the axial direction, adjacent spiral sections of the spiral pipe are staggered with each other, so that the axial spiral section pipe wall of each heat exchange pipe is not completely blocked by the axially adjacent spiral section, so that in use, when the shell side medium flows axially, the axial spiral section pipe wall of the heat exchange pipe can have a larger contact area with the shell side medium to fully contact, thereby effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange pipe.
