[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] A corrugated plate type gas heat exchanger, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it includes a plurality of heat exchange plates 7 connected in sequence, each heat exchange plate 7 includes a first corrugated plate 1, a second corrugated plate 2, a metal end face flange 8, and a first guide plate 3 and a second guide plate 4 located between the first corrugated plate 1 and the second corrugated plate 2, a metal end face flange 8 is respectively arranged at both ends of the upper side of the heat exchange plate 7, the metal end face flanges 8 on the corresponding sides of a plurality of heat exchange plates 7 are nested and connected in sequence to form a heat exchange channel 1 13 and a heat exchange channel 2 14 respectively, and the adjacent heat exchange plates 7 are stacked to form a heat exchange channel 3, the first corrugated plate 1 and the second corrugated plate 2 in the heat exchange plate are stacked to form an internal heat exchange channel, the first corrugated plate 1 and the second corrugated plate 2 are curved convex wave-shaped plates, the first guide plate 3 and the second guide plate 4 are respectively arranged on two corresponding sides between the first corrugated plate 1 and the second corrugated plate 2, the first guide plate 3 is used to connect the heat exchange channel 1 13 and the internal heat exchange channel, and the second guide plate 4 is used to connect the The heat exchange channel 2 14 and the internal heat exchange channel, the third guide plate 5 and the fourth guide plate 6 are arranged between the adjacent heat exchange plates 7, and the third guide plate 5 and the fourth guide plate 6 are used to connect the heat exchange channel 3. The heat exchange plate 7 is designed to be a curved convex corrugated shape, so that when the heat exchange gas passes through the flow channel, the resistance is reduced, the heat exchange area is increased, and the structural strength of the plate is improved, so that the plate can still work when the pressure difference on both sides reaches more than 15 bar, and with the heat exchange channel 1 and the heat exchange channel 2, multiple channels are connected for heat exchange, which increases the heat exchange efficiency. An independent plate body structure design is adopted, and each independent heat exchange plate 7 is provided with two metal end face flanges 8. Each heat exchange plate 7 is nested by the metal end face flanges 8 to achieve metal sealing, which solves the thermal expansion and contraction during the heat exchange process and provides expansion space for each independent plate, thereby avoiding thermal stress damage during the heat exchange process; and this structure is simple to install and easy to disassemble during cleaning and maintenance.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, a ventilation slot 16 is provided on one side of the metal end face flange 8 close to the first corrugated plate sheet 1 and the second corrugated plate sheet 2, and gas enters from the ventilation slot 16 of one metal end face flange 8 and is discharged from the ventilation slot of the other metal end face flange 8.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the metal end face flanges 8 on both sides of the upper ends of several heat exchange plates 7 are fastened and connected respectively by fastening components, and the fastening components include a first fixing flange 9, a second fixing flange 10 and a screw 11. The first fixing flange 9 and the second fixing flange 10 are respectively arranged at both ends of the nested metal end face flanges 8, and the screw 11 passes through the corresponding screw holes on the first fixing flange 9 and the second fixing flange 10 in turn, and is equipped with a clamping nut 12 to fasten the metal end face flanges 8. The metal end face flanges 8 are fastened by the fastening components, so that the connection between the heat exchange plates 7 is also more stable.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a movable spring is arranged between the first fixing flange 9, the second fixing flange 10 and the clamping nut 12, so as to compensate for the elastic deformation generated during the heat exchange process and effectively prevent loosening.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the second fixing flange 10 is a blind flange used for setting up a fluid channel and supporting structural strength, thereby increasing heat exchange efficiency.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the first guide plate 3 and the second guide plate 4 are diagonal lines, the purpose of which is to guide the gas flowing through the internal heat exchange channel formed by stacking the first corrugated plate sheet 1 and the second corrugated plate sheet 2.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the third guide vane 5 and the fourth guide vane 6 are horizontal stripes, and their function is to guide the gas flowing through the heat exchange channel 3 formed by stacking two independent heat exchange plates 7.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of heat exchange plates 7 are stacked, the first corrugated plate 1 and the second corrugated plate 2 have an amplitude ≥1.5mm, a wave pitch ≥2mm, and the first corrugated plate 1 and the second corrugated plate 2 can reach a maximum of 50 wavelengths per 100 mm. The first corrugated plate 1 and the second corrugated plate 2 adopt a low-amplitude and high-density corrugated plate design, which improves the material strength to avoid deformation when the fluid passes through, while reducing the plate thickness to increase the heat exchange efficiency.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the first corrugated plate sheet 1 and the second corrugated plate sheet 2 are fixedly connected to the metal end face flange 8 by welding, so as to ensure a stable connection between the two at high temperature.

[0040] Embodiment 2

[0041] Based on Example 1, an implementation method of a corrugated plate gas heat exchanger is provided:

[0042] like Figure 1As shown, the surface of the heat exchange plate 7 is provided with a nano coating, the first guide vane, the second guide vane, the third guide vane and the fourth guide vane are labyrinth seal flow equalization structures, a cooling channel 15 is provided inside the screw 11, and a cooling sleeve is provided outside the screw 11, and the cooling sleeve is provided with an air inlet for cold air to be heated for cooling.

[0043] Different from the first embodiment, a nano-coating is used on the surface to avoid direct contact between the heat exchange plate 7 material and oxygen during the heat exchange process, thereby avoiding thermal oxidation corrosion at high temperatures. The guide vane is designed as a labyrinth seal flow-balancing structure to form multiple throttling gaps and expansion cavities, so that the sealing medium produces a throttling effect and kinetic energy dissipation when passing through, thereby reducing leakage, reducing gas flow resistance, making the airflow distribution more uniform, and improving heat exchange efficiency. A cooling channel is set inside the screw 11. During high-temperature heat exchange, low-temperature cold air to be heated enters the cooling channel 15 inside the screw through the air inlet of the cooling sleeve to accelerate material cooling and maintain a low-temperature state, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the device.

If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. It is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to the present application.

[0045] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood by specific circumstances.

[0046] The above is only a preferred implementation of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present application. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
