Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of heater technology, specifically to a high-power direct resistance heating element and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] A pipe heater is an energy-saving device for preheating materials. It is installed before the material equipment to directly heat the material, allowing it to circulate and heat at high temperatures, ultimately achieving energy savings. Common structures for pipe heaters include inserting tubular heating elements directly into the reactor of the pipe heater or evenly distributing heating tubes around the walls of the pipe heater. However, existing tubular heating elements have a simple structure, but when heating liquids, the amount of liquid that can be heated per unit time is limited. Furthermore, the flowing liquid has a certain velocity when passing through the heating element, resulting in a small contact area with the heating element and limited heating efficiency.
[0003] Therefore, a high-power direct resistance heating element and its usage method are needed to improve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-power direct resistance heating element and its usage method, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the simple structure of existing tubular electric heating elements, the limited amount of liquid that can be heated per unit time when heating liquid, the small contact area between the flowing liquid and the heating element due to the certain speed of the flowing liquid, and the limited heating efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A high-power direct resistance heating element includes an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder, with a heating cavity formed between the inner and outer cylinders. A heating element, composed of several heating plates, is disposed inside the heating cavity, dividing the heating cavity into several independent heating channels. Several grooves are equally spaced on both sides of the heating element, each groove containing a heating element. A guide groove for communication is provided between adjacent grooves. An inner mounting cavity is formed inside the heating element, containing a conductive component. Mounting grooves are provided on both sides of the mounting cavity at positions corresponding to the grooves, each containing a heat-conducting component. The grooves and heating elements increase the contact area with the liquid. The conductive component, through the heat-conducting component, achieves simultaneous heating of multiple single points, resulting in greater heat generation per unit time and higher heating efficiency. The heating element includes several protrusions disposed inside the grooves, arranged in several rows, with liquid flow channels formed between adjacent rows of protrusions.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the conductive component includes a metal guide rod that penetrates the inner mounting cavity. Several connecting members connect the two sides of the metal guide rod to connecting posts, and each connecting post is fixedly connected to each heat-conducting component. The heating plate is energized by an external power source and conducts electricity through the guide rod. The connecting members and connecting posts connect to the circuit, and the heating element generates heat when energized. The heating element aligns with the groove, achieving simultaneous heating of a single point on the heating plate. After the liquid flows through, it flows through the groove and contacts the protrusion within the groove, and is heated through the protrusion and the groove, thus heating the liquid in a short time.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the heat-conducting element is a heating plate, and the heating plate has a sheet-like structure.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the boss is hexagonal frustum-shaped and is fixedly connected to one side of the groove. The boss can increase the contact area with the liquid, thereby improving the heating efficiency.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the heating plate and the outer surface of the boss are both provided with an aluminum nitride ceramic coating, which can prevent leakage.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the heating element, the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder are all disposed inside the mounting structure, and one end of the mounting structure is provided with an opening, and a partition cylinder is connected to the inside of the opening. A flow cavity is formed between the partition cylinder and the outer cylinder. The liquid enters the flow cavity after passing through the heating channel. A number of grooves connected to the flow cavity are provided at one end of the partition cylinder. A number of U-shaped heating elements are also provided inside the partition cylinder.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0013] In this invention, by using a groove and a boss on the heating element, heating is carried out at a single point, heating the heating plate and the boss. The contact area between the flowing liquid and the heating plate and the boss is larger, thus improving the heating efficiency per unit time. Furthermore, the heating element heats the liquid separately, increasing the area of the flowing liquid that can be heated, resulting in higher overall heating efficiency. Attached Figure Description
