[0036] How it works

[0037] When the present application is in use, firstly, an internal support structure is built outside the heat exchanger barrel, and the number and arrangement positions of the support clamps 5 are determined according to the length of the barrel 7 and the pre-designed spacing. After the arrangement positions of the support clamps 5 are determined, the pre-prepared side bracket assemblies 2 are welded to both sides of multiple support clamps 5 to form a supporting main frame. Two roller fixing plates 3 are welded on the vertical beam 51 in each support clamp 5, which ensures that each roller fixing plate 3 is arranged in parallel with the support plate 21 in the corresponding side bracket assembly 2, and each roller 1 is installed on a roller fixing plate 3 and a support plate 21 in the side bracket assembly 2 through a roller 4. Between the corresponding support plates 21, the internal support structure of the heat exchanger is assembled, and the internal support structure is pushed into the cylinder body 7 along the axial extension direction of the cylinder body 7, and the outer cylindrical surface of the roller 1 is ensured to contact the angle steel 6. The angle steel 6 acts as a pulley slide and also plays a restraining role. When the heat exchanger is working, the side bracket assembly 2 and the support clamping position 5 expand due to heat, so that the roller 1 is tightly squeezed on the angle steel 6. The end of the support plate 21 in the side bracket assembly 2 is designed to be bent downward to release the thermal stress caused by the asynchronous thermal expansion, which can effectively solve the thermal stress problem caused by the asynchronous thermal expansion of the cylinder body and the support structure.
