Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, in particular to a spiral tube-type heat exchanger. Background Art

[0002] A heat exchanger is a device that transfers heat from one fluid to another without allowing the fluids to mix with each other. There are many types of heat exchangers, such as shell and tube heat exchangers, plate heat exchangers, spiral plate heat exchangers, plate and shell heat exchangers, etc. Shell and tube heat exchangers are widely used because of their simple structure, ability to withstand greater pressure when working, and low resistance (pressure drop) to the heat exchange fluid.

[0003] The main structure of the shell and tube heat exchanger is that the outer tube is sleeved on the inner tube, and the two ends of the outer tube are welded to the inner tube through tube caps or cone shells, thus forming a group of shells; multiple groups of shells are connected in series through U-shaped elbows to connect the inner tubes in series, and the outer tubes are connected in series through the pipe mouths. One fluid flows in the inner tube, and the other fluid flows in the gap between the inner and outer tubes. The two cold and hot fluids exchange heat through the inner tube wall.

[0004] The inventors have found that conventional shell and tube heat exchangers have the following disadvantages during long-term use of shell and tube heat exchangers:

[0005] 1. Since the inner tube and the outer tube are relatively long straight tubes, when the metal temperature difference between the inner and outer tubes is large, or the metal expansion is different due to the different materials of the inner and outer tubes, a large temperature difference stress will be generated in the inner and outer tubes; in order to reduce the temperature difference stress, an expansion joint is added to the outer tube; the setting of the expansion joint increases the cost and adds more welding joints, thereby increasing the risk of leakage.

[0006] 2. In actual use, the effective heat exchange area is only the part of the inner tube covered by the outer tube. The part of the inner tube extending out of the outer tube and the U-shaped elbow part cannot play a role in heat transfer. In addition, the medium flow forms a dead zone in the part between the connecting pipe mouth between the outer tube and the inner and outer tube connectors, and the heat transfer effect is poor.

[0007] 3. The inner and outer pipes must be connected by welding with pipe caps or cone shells. Each set of casings must be connected in series with U-shaped elbows, pipe openings and flanges. There are many components and connecting joints, which increases the material and processing costs as well as the risk of leakage.

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a spiral shell and tube heat exchanger. Summary of the invention

[0009] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a spiral shell and tube heat exchanger, which solves the problem that in the prior shell and tube heat exchanger, since the inner tube and the outer tube are relatively long straight tubes, when the metal temperature difference between the inner and outer tubes is large, a large temperature difference stress will be generated in the inner and outer tubes, and an expansion joint needs to be added to the outer tube. In addition, there are many components and connecting joints for connection, which increases the cost and the risk of leakage. In addition, a dead zone is formed in the medium flow in the part between the connecting pipe mouth between the outer tube and the inner and outer tube connecting pieces, resulting in a poor heat transfer effect.

[0018] Further preferably, the thermal insulation structure comprises:

[0019] An inner cylinder located inside the shell-and-tube heat exchanger structure, wherein a heat-insulating cotton layer is fixedly arranged inside the inner cylinder;

[0030] The present invention provides a spiral tube heat exchanger having the following beneficial effects:

[0031] 1. The present invention adopts spiral inner and outer tubes (i.e., inner and outer coils). When the metal temperature difference between the inner and outer coils is large, the inner and outer coils will produce deformations of different sizes. Since there is a large gap between the inner and outer coils, their deformations will not be restricted by each other. The spiral coil has greater elasticity than the straight tube and can be used as a flexible element to produce elastic deformation in both horizontal and vertical directions, thereby eliminating most of the temperature difference stress and avoiding the use of expansion joints, thereby reducing the risk of cost and leakage.

[0032] 2. The present invention adopts spiral inner and outer tubes, and both inner and outer tubes can be coiled according to actual length requirements without being limited by the length of straight tubes. The length of a single spiral coil can be much longer than the length of a single straight tube, and the space occupied is small. The entire length of the spiral tube is an effective heat exchange area, which can greatly increase the heat exchange area per unit installation area.

[0033] 3. Compared with the traditional shell-and-tube heat exchanger, the spiral shell-and-tube heat exchanger of the present invention can greatly reduce the connecting elements and joints between the inner and outer tubes, between the inner tube sections, and between the outer tube sections, thereby reducing the material and processing costs and the risk of leakage.

[0034] 4. The present invention designs a positioning tube, one end of which passes through the outer tube and is welded and fixed to the outer wall of the inner tube. The positioning tube and the outer tube are also welded and fixed. The positioning tube can be used to ensure that the inner tube is basically located at the center of the outer tube. After processing the outer tube and inner tube in a longer spiral shape, the inner tube is spirally inserted into the outer tube, and then the positioning tube is welded, thereby ensuring the stability of the spiral shell-and-tube heat exchanger structure. When the fluid pressure in the inner tube changes, the inner tube will not shake and an unstable situation will not occur. In addition, the design of the positioning tube is convenient for overall support and installation of the arc-shaped side panels and the bottom support seat.

[0035] 5. The present invention can further extend the length of the heat exchange pipeline by connecting multiple sets of shell-and-tube heat exchanger structures in parallel or in series to meet the actual heat exchange requirements. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] Embodiment 1:

[0048] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a spiral tube-type heat exchanger, which includes an outer tube 2, an inner tube 5, a positioning tube 3, an arc-shaped side plate 1, and a heat preservation component. The inner tube 5 is located inside the outer tube 2, and the inner tube 5 and the outer tube 2 form a tube-type heat exchanger structure. Specifically, the inner tube 5 is located inside the outer tube 2, and both ends of the inner tube 5 extend from both ends of the outer tube 2, and both ends of the outer tube 2 are contracted inwardly and fixedly connected to the inner tube 5, or the two ends of the outer tube 2 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner tube 5 through a connecting joint. An annular flow channel is formed between the outside of the inner tube 5 and the inside of the outer tube 2, and the two ends of the inner tube 5 are respectively an A fluid inlet and an A fluid outlet, and the two ends of the annular flow channel are respectively a B fluid inlet and a B fluid outlet, and the B fluid inlet is close to the A fluid outlet. When in use, fluid A flows from the A fluid inlet to the A fluid outlet, and fluid B flows from the B fluid inlet and the B fluid outlet. Fluid A and fluid B flow in opposite directions, and fluid A and fluid B flow in opposite directions. Heat exchange is achieved through the outer wall of the inner tube 5; the outer tube 2 and the inner tube 5 are spiral coils with equal spiral radius and equal pitch, that is, the outer tube 2 is an outer coil, and the inner tube 5 is an inner coil. One end of the positioning tube 3 passes through the outer tube 2, and the positioning tube 3 is welded and fixed to the outer wall of the inner tube 5, and the positioning tube 3 is fixed to the outer tube 2. The outer tube 2 and the inner tube 5 are fixed by relying on the positioning tube 3 to ensure that the inner tube 5 is in the center position of the outer tube 2. A positioning hole 6 is opened on the side of the arc-shaped side plate 1, and the positioning tube 3 is fixedly inserted in the inside of the positioning hole 6. The bottom of the arc-shaped side plate 1 is fixedly connected with a support seat 4, and the support seat 4 is used to stably support the arc-shaped side plate 1. A plurality of positioning tubes 3 are provided, and the plurality of positioning tubes 3 are equidistantly distributed along the linear length direction of the outer tube 2 and the inner tube 5. The shell and tube heat exchanger structure is an annular cylindrical shape, and the insulation component is arranged on the inner side, outer side and end of the shell and tube heat exchanger structure. The insulation component is used to insulate the shell and tube heat exchanger structure.

[0049] The shell and tube heat exchanger used in the chemical industry generally adopts a multi-section straight tube structure, that is, the outer tube is sleeved on the inner tube, and the two ends of the outer tube are welded to the inner tube through a tube cap or a cone shell, thereby forming a set of shells; multiple sets of shells are connected in series through U-shaped elbows to connect the inner tubes in series, and the outer tubes are connected in series through the pipe mouth. One fluid flows in the inner tube, and the other fluid flows in the gap between the inner and outer tubes. The two cold and hot fluids exchange heat through the inner tube wall. Since the inner and outer tubes are relatively long straight tubes, when the metal temperature difference between the inner and outer tubes is large, or because the inner and outer tubes are made of different materials, the metal expansion When the temperature difference is different, a large temperature difference stress will be generated in the inner and outer pipes. The present invention adopts spiral inner and outer pipes (i.e., inner and outer coils). When the metal temperature difference of the inner and outer coils is large, the inner and outer coils will produce deformations of different sizes. Since there is a large gap between the inner and outer coils, their deformations will not be restricted by each other. The spiral coil has greater elasticity than the straight pipe and can be used as a flexible element to produce elastic deformation in both horizontal and vertical directions, thereby eliminating most of the temperature difference stress and avoiding the use of expansion joints, thereby reducing the risk of cost and leakage.

[0050] The use of spiral inner and outer tubes allows the inner and outer tubes to be made longer, and the spiral shell-and-tube heat exchanger has better integrity, especially the inner tube, which is basically a complete seamless pipe, greatly reducing the problem of liquid leakage in the inner tube.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown in , an outer tube 2 and an inner tube 5 of suitable diameter are selected, and they are processed into spiral coils with the same spiral radius and pitch. Then, the outer coil with a larger diameter is spirally sleeved on the inner coil with a smaller diameter to form a group of spiral sleeves. The two ends of the outer tube 2 are squeezed and shrunk by a hydraulic mold, and the ends of the outer tube 2 are welded and fixed to the inner tube 5. Then, holes are opened on the outer side of the outer tube 2 near the two ends, and the inlet / outlet pipes are connected to form a B fluid inlet and a B fluid outlet. The two ends of the inner tube 5 are an A fluid inlet and an A fluid outlet. Then, a mounting hole for installing the positioning tube 3 is opened on the side of the outer tube 2, and one end of the positioning tube 3 is inserted into the mounting hole. One end of the positioning tube 3 is against the side of the inner tube 5. Laser welding is performed from the inside of the inner tube 5 to weld and fix the inner tube 5 and the positioning tube 3. Finally, laser welding is completed at the mounting holes of the positioning tube 3 and the outer tube 2 on the outside of the positioning tube 3. The positioning tube 3 is used to fix the outer tube 2 and the inner tube 5 together.

[0052] Specifically, a through hole (installation hole) is opened on the side of the outer tube 2 , the outer side of the positioning tube 3 is welded to the edge of the through hole to form an outer welding portion 7 , and the inner side of the positioning tube 3 is welded to the inner tube 5 to form an inner welding portion 8 .

[0053] One of the methods is: fluid B is the liquid that needs to be heated, and fluid A is the heating fluid. In order to ensure efficient and stable supply of fluid B that meets the temperature requirements, the cross-sectional area of ​​the annular flow channel needs to be designed to be larger, and the liquid flow rate in the annular flow channel needs to be designed to be larger. The problem caused by the larger cross-sectional area of ​​the annular flow channel and the larger liquid flow rate in the annular flow channel is that the actual heat exchange efficiency of the fluid is lower. The problem caused by the larger cross-sectional area of ​​the annular flow channel is that the liquid near the outer part of the outer tube 2 cannot be well heat exchanged; the design of the spiral shell and tube heat exchanger makes the fluid B turbulent inside the annular flow channel, ensuring uniform heat exchange of the fluid B; the design of the spiral shell and tube heat exchanger increases the heat exchange time of the fluid B in the annular flow channel, which can ensure that the fluid B is heated to a predetermined temperature.

[0054] Specifically, the diameter of the outer tube 2 is 2-3 times the diameter of the inner tube 5. The space between the inner tube 5 and the outer tube 2 is large, which can provide a larger fluid cross-section. The diameter of the inner tube 5 is 10-25CM, and the inner diameter of the positioning tube 3 is not less than 5CM, so that the laser head can be inserted into the positioning tube 3 to complete the welding operation.

[0055] In one embodiment, a blocking block 9 is fixedly installed inside the positioning tube 3. The welding quality of the positioning tube 3 and the inner tube 5 may be poor due to the influence of space. Using the blocking block 9 to seal the inside of the positioning tube 3 can prevent liquid from penetrating into the positioning tube 3 and then leaking.

[0056] Embodiment 2:

[0057] Reference Figure 5-Figure 9 The difference from the above-mentioned embodiment 1 is that: the shell and tube heat exchanger structure has multiple groups, the spiral radius of the outer tube 2 and the inner tube 5 of the multiple groups of shell and tube heat exchanger structures decreases, the multiple groups of shell and tube heat exchanger structures are arranged from the outside to the inside, the inner tube 5 of the multiple groups of shell and tube heat exchanger structures are linearly connected through the first outer tube disk connecting pipe 20, and the annular flow channels of the multiple groups of shell and tube heat exchanger structures are linearly connected through the second outer tube disk connecting pipe 21. The multiple shell and tube heat exchanger structures are distributed in the above manner to better utilize the space and further extend the actual length of the heat exchange pipeline. The multi-shell heat exchanger as a whole has A fluid inlet 10, A fluid outlet 12, B fluid inlet 13, and B fluid outlet 11, and the first outer tube disk connecting pipe 20 is U-shaped.

[0058] That is, multiple sets of shell-and-tube heat exchanger structures are connected in series, which can further extend the actual length of the heat exchange pipeline.

[0064] In this solution, the heat-insulating spiral sheet 19, the inner cylinder 15, and the outer cylinder 14 form an annular space, and the annular body formed by the multi-tube heat exchanger structure is located inside the annular space, thereby achieving a heat-insulating effect.

[0065] In one embodiment, the base 18 includes: a ring-shaped member 1801, on which a widened portion 1802 is provided, and the widened portion 1802 can connect multiple arc-shaped side panels 1, the top of the widened portion 1802 of the ring-shaped member 1801 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the arc-shaped side panel 1, and the bottom of the widened portion 1802 of the ring-shaped member 1801 is fixedly connected to a supporting foot 1803.
