AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing electric heating tubes have problems such as poor thermal conductivity of magnesium oxide insulation layer, difficulty in achieving both insulation and thermal conductivity, small heat transfer area of ​​electric heating wire, and excessive temperature difference between electric heating wire and heated medium.

Method used

Insulating fluid is used instead of magnesium oxide powder as the insulating medium, and conductive fluid is used instead of electric heating wire as the heating medium. Conductive fluid channels are set inside the insulating column, and insulating fluid channels are set inside the outer shell to achieve liquid insulation and liquid heat conduction, thereby increasing the heating area and uniform temperature.

Benefits of technology

It increases the surface heat load and operating voltage of the electric heater, reduces costs, improves temperature uniformity, enhances electric heating efficiency and lifespan, and reduces system structural complexity and cost.

Abstract

This invention discloses an electric heater, a heat storage device, and a heat exchange system based on liquid insulation and liquid thermal conductivity. The electric heater, applied within a heating container, includes several electric heating tubes. Each heating tube comprises an insulating column and a shell surrounding the insulating column. The shell has insulating fluid channels through which an insulating fluid flows. Multiple conductive fluid channels are provided within the insulating column, through which conductive fluid flows. By using an insulating fluid instead of traditional magnesium oxide powder as the insulating medium and a conductive fluid instead of electric heating wire as the heating medium, the cost of the electric heater is significantly reduced, while the surface heat load and operating voltage of the heating tubes are noticeably improved.
