Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of heat exchangers, and in particular relates to a U-tube heat exchanger with detachable tubes. Background Art
[0002] U-tube heat exchanger is one of the commonly used heat exchangers at present. Its main structures include shell, heat exchange tube group and tube sheet. The tube sheet is connected with the heat exchange tube group. The tube sheet is provided with multiple holes connected with the heat exchange tube group. The tube sheet and the shell are connected with each other through flanges. Since it has only one tube sheet, the U-tube can freely expand and contract during thermal expansion. Therefore, it has strong adaptability to thermal expansion and is suitable for large temperature difference occasions. Since its heat exchange tube group can be disassembled and withdrawn, it is more convenient to clean the inside of the shell, and its high heat exchange efficiency can improve production efficiency. Based on the above advantages, the U-tube heat exchanger occupies a relatively important position in the field of heat exchangers. However, since its heat exchange tube group is a whole, if the heat exchange tube inside it is damaged, it can only be handled by blocking, and it cannot be repaired or replaced, resulting in an increase in the scrap rate of the equipment. In addition, since the heat exchange tube group cannot be disassembled, the internal heat exchange tube cannot be cleaned, and long-term accumulation of dirt will lead to a decrease in heat exchange efficiency.
