Description

[0002] Taking the chlorobenzene production process as an example, leakage of heat exchange equipment often occurs, and the method of sacrificial anode is a relatively economical protection form for heat exchange equipment in a corrosive working condition.

[0003] At present, the heat exchanger with cathodic protection is mostly realized by setting a sacrificial anode. The existing design arranges the sacrificial anode on a traditional baffle plate, realizes the current loop through a conductive bypass, and realizes cathodic protection. The baffle plate is subjected to strong impact and scouring when the fluid in the shell passes through, and the fixed anode material may be unstable or fall off, thereby losing the purpose of cathodic protection. Moreover, the baffle plate type heat exchanger also has the disadvantages of large fluid resistance in the shell, dead zone in the baffle plate area, low utilization rate of the baffle plate, and low heat exchange efficiency.

[0004] Similarly, the existing design arranges the sacrificial anode on an ordinary tube-shell heat exchanger, which causes the sacrificial anode material to gradually consume and eventually lose protection, and cannot be repaired. If repair is needed, the heat exchanger cylinder or the equipment needs to be cut open, which cannot achieve the purpose of convenient replacement.

[0065] As described above, the present application designs a carbon steel floating head type heat exchanger with a heat exchange area of 800 m2, an outer diameter r1 of the heat exchange tube bundle of 3000 mm, a floating head heat exchanger cylinder diameter of r2=3500 mm, and a heat exchanger length L=6000 mm. A set of baffle and baffle fixing ring is provided every 1000 mm. The inner diameter of the baffle fixing ring 5 is r1, the outer diameter is r2, the thickness is δ=6 mm, the width of the extension edge 8 is 50 mm, and the thickness is δ=6 mm,

[0066] A circular hole with a diameter of φ=27 mm is formed on the extension edge 8 according to the position of the heat exchange tube gap, and the two ends 11 of the baffle 10 with a diameter of φ=25 mm and the aluminum sacrificial anode rod with a diameter of φ=22 mm pass through the circular hole.

In this example, a UJ33a type direct current potential difference meter is used to measure the preset terminals.

[0068] In this example, the working condition of the heat exchanger is that the tube layer is organic material, the inlet and outlet temperatures are 80℃ and 60℃, the shell layer is frozen brine, the inlet water temperature is -15℃, and the outlet temperature is 5℃.

[0073] In this example, the measured protection potential was Ev = -0.85V relative to a copper / saturated copper sulfate reference electrode (the same applies below). The minimum current i = 50mA / ㎡. The driving potential ΔE of the aluminum sacrificial anode is 0.25V according to formula ①. By analogy with seawater, its resistance is ρ = 30Ω. Formula ② yields the required protection current I = 40A. Combining the above aluminum anode design data, formulas ③ and ④ yield the power generation per aluminum anode as If = 1.36A. Formula ⑤ further indicates that 1kg of protection anodes is required for every 10㎡ of heat exchange area.

[0074] In order to more intuitively demonstrate the advantages of the equipment and process of the present invention, the installation method of the heat exchanger with cathodic protection and sacrificial anode of the present invention is compared with the equivalent replacement method of the same process.

[0075] Comparative Example 1:

[0076] The sacrificial anode is mounted on a conventional baffle, and a conductive bypass is used to create a current loop for cathodic protection. However, due to insufficient contact between the conductive bypass and the heat exchange tube, the protection potential measured by a DC potentiometer exhibits uneven fluctuations due to the asymmetric nature of the baffle, i.e., -0.80v, -0.43v, -0.80v, -0.47v, -0.78v, -0.41v, etc.;

[0077] Comparative Example 2:

[0078] It is a floating head heat exchanger, the difference is that the anode material is installed on the baffle or head or cylinder;

[0079] Comparative Example 3:

[0080] Same as the embodiment, except that the sacrificial anode is inserted into the barrier rod, and the barrier rod is directly connected to the side wall of the heat exchange tube through a fixed support.

[0081] Table 1: Comparison of different sacrificial anode installation methods

[0082]

[0083] From the data analysis in Table 1, we can see that:

[0084] 1. Example 1 compared with Comparative Example 1:

[0085] Such structure realizes cathode protection by realizing current loop through conductive bypass, the baffle is impacted and scoured when the shell fluid flows, the fixed anode material is unstable or falls off, thereby losing the purpose of cathode protection, and the baffle type heat exchanger also has the defects of large shell side fluid resistance, dead zone in the baffle area, low baffle utilization rate and low heat exchange efficiency;

[0086] In particular: in the electric potential / heat exchange pipe corrosion degree, the performance is worse than that of the present application, the electric potential is uneven, and the interval corrosion serious part appears;

[0087] 2, compared with comparative example 2:

[0088] In comparative example 2, the sacrificial anode is installed on the ordinary tube shell heat exchanger, specifically, the sacrificial anode is installed on the ordinary tube shell heat exchanger, which leads to that with the gradual consumption of the anode material, the protection is finally lost and cannot be repaired, if repair is needed, the heat exchanger cylinder or the equipment is damaged, and the purpose of convenient replacement cannot be achieved.

[0089] 3, compared with comparative example 3:

[0090] The sacrificial anode is arranged in the stop rod, and the stop rod is directly connected with the side wall of the heat exchange pipe through the fixed support, which can be quickly fixed with the stop rod fixed ring through the self-locking buckle design of the present application, the inner diameter of the stop rod fixed ring is consistent with the outer diameter of the pipe bundle, the outer diameter is consistent with the inner diameter of the cylinder, and the outer side is provided with a U-shaped guard pipe extension edge design compared with the present application, which can better seal and buffer effect, avoid the problem that the fixed support is cut off and the pipe bundle is damaged due to stress concentration in comparative example 3, and the problem of liquid leakage is avoided.

[0091] At the same time, the U-shaped guard pipe extension edge structure increases the contact area of the sacrificial anode and the outer diameter of the pipe bundle, and forms balanced potential and relatively constant electric potential in the same baffle ring plane, reduces the consumption of the sacrificial anode, and can perfectly solve the problem of uneven electric potential of the baffle arranged sacrificial anode.

[0092] In summary: the baffle stop rod enhances fluid flow, reduces dead zone, reduces shell side fluid resistance, and improves heat exchange efficiency by 15%-50%;

[0093] At the same time, the rotation of the pin shaft drives the rotation of the stop rod, and the stop rod and the sacrificial anode rod are fixed in the stop rod fixed ring to realize electrical connection, realize the change of the form of the U-shaped guard pipe extension edge, realize the installation and separation type surrounding on the side wall of the heat exchange pipe between the narrow pipe bundle, and increase the contact area of the sacrificial anode and the outer diameter of the pipe bundle;

[0094] The baffle lever is quickly fixed with the lever fixing ring through the self-locking buckle design, the inner diameter of the lever fixing ring is consistent with the outer diameter of the tube bundle, the outer diameter is consistent with the inner diameter of the cylinder, the outer side is provided with a U-shaped guard pipe extension edge design, which can better seal and buffer effect, avoids stress concentration of the fixed support column and the tube bundle caused by impact, and causes liquid leakage;

[0095] Using the baffle lever and the baffle ring and the special arrangement mode of the special application, the problems of the traditional baffle plate can be solved, meanwhile, the U-shaped guard pipe extension edge structure increases the contact area of the sacrificial anode and the outer diameter of the tube bundle, balanced potential is formed in the same baffle ring plane, and relatively constant electromotive force is formed, the consumption of the sacrificial anode is reduced, and the problem of uneven potential of the sacrificial anode arranged by the baffle plate can be perfectly solved.
