[0017] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] Example: See Figure 1 - Figure 6 An energy-saving stainless steel tube-in-tube condenser comprises a shell 1 and a plurality of tube bundles 2, the plurality of tube bundles 2 are sequentially distributed from the inside to the outside, the same tube bundle 2 comprises a plurality of tube bundles 2, and the plurality of tube bundles 2 in the same group are evenly distributed in a circular track, a steam inlet pipe 6 and a coolant discharge pipe 7 are respectively installed on the top of one side of the shell 1, and the coolant discharge pipe 7 and the steam inlet pipe 6 are respectively located above and below the upper tube plate 3; a condensate discharge pipe 8 and a coolant inlet pipe 9 are respectively installed on the bottom of the other side of the shell 1, and the coolant inlet pipe 9 and the condensate discharge pipe 8 are respectively located below and above the lower tube plate 4; The coolant is injected into the shell 1 through the coolant introduction pipe 9, which is also below the lower tube plate 4. The coolant then enters the inside of each tube bundle 2 and flows from bottom to top, reaches the top of the partition 13, and is discharged through the coolant discharge pipe 7. The steam enters the shell 1 through the steam introduction pipe 6 and moves from top to bottom along the baffles 5 in a curve. In this process, the steam is cooled down by each tube bundle 2, and the steam is condensed into water, flows downward, and is discharged through the condensed water discharge pipe 8. Among them, the coolant flows from bottom to top, so the coolant temperature in the upper area of the tube bundle 2 is higher than the coolant temperature in the lower area; the steam flows from top to bottom, so the temperature in the upper area inside the shell 1 is higher than the temperature in the lower area. Therefore, when the steam is introduced into the shell 1, it contacts the upper area of the tube bundle 2. The temperature of the upper area of the tube bundle 2 is relatively high, so the temperature difference with the steam is relatively small, which plays a role in protecting the tube bundle 2.
[0019] Also includes: An upper tube plate 3, which is rotatably connected to the interior of the housing 1; The lower tube sheet 4 is rotatably connected to the inside of the shell 1 and is located below the upper tube sheet 3. The multiple tube bundles 2 are installed inside the upper tube sheet 3 and the lower tube sheet 4. The baffles 5 are provided in plurality, and the baffles 5 are slidably sleeved outside the plurality of tube bundles 2. The plurality of baffles 5 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom and are arranged staggered with each other. The top of the baffles 5 can be set as an inclined surface and is inclined downwardly toward one side of the notch of the baffles 5 to facilitate the flow of condensed water. A driving mechanism is mounted on the housing 1 and is used to drive the upper tube plate 3 to rotate. The driving mechanism includes an outer gear ring 10 fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the upper tube plate 3 and a motor 11 mounted on the top outer wall of the other side of the housing 1; a first gear 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 11, and the first gear 12 is meshed with the outer gear ring 10; The first gear 12 is driven to rotate at a low speed by controlling the motor 11, and the upper tube sheet 3 is driven to rotate through the meshing effect between the first gear 12 and the outer gear ring 10. The lower tube sheet 4 and the baffle 5 are rotated synchronously through the connection effect of the tube bundle 2, thereby changing the flow path of the steam inside the shell 1.
[0020] The first adjustment mechanism is installed inside the shell 1 and is used to drive the tube bundle 2 to rotate. A partition 13 is fixed inside the shell 1. The partition 13 is located above the upper tube plate 3. The first adjustment mechanism is provided with multiple groups, and the multiple groups of first adjustment mechanisms are respectively connected to the multiple groups of tube bundles 2; the first adjustment mechanism includes an inner gear ring 14 fixed to the bottom of the partition 13 and a second gear 15 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the tube bundle 2, the inner gear ring 14 is meshed with the second gear 15, and the partition 13 is internally rotatably connected with multiple sealing rings 16, and the multiple sealing rings 16 are concentrically arranged. The plurality of sealing rings 16 are respectively corresponding to the plurality of tube bundles 2; the plurality of tube bundles 2 in the same group are all penetrated by the sealing rings 16 and are rotatably connected to the sealing rings 16; the top of the partition plate 13 is fixedly connected with a plurality of fixing rods 17, the top of the fixing rods 17 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the top of the shell 1, and the fixing rods 17 are located between two adjacent sealing rings 16; the inner gear rings 14 are located directly below the fixing rods 17, so that the fixing of each inner gear ring 14 is realized, that is, when the upper tube plate 3 and the tube bundle 2 rotate, the inner gear ring 14 will not rotate accordingly; When the upper tube plate 3 rotates, it drives each tube bundle 2 to perform an orbital motion around the fixed shaft 18, and through the meshing effect between each second gear 15 and the inner gear ring 14, the tube bundle 2 is driven to rotate, so that the front surface of the tube bundle 2, that is, the side facing the steam flow direction, keeps changing, avoiding the problem of affecting the uniform cooling of the steam by the coolant inside the tube bundle 2 due to the unchanged front surface of the tube bundle 2, thereby improving the use effect of the coolant.
[0021] The second adjustment mechanism is installed inside the shell 1 and is used to drive the baffle 5 to rise and fall. The second adjustment mechanism includes a fixed shaft 18 fixedly connected to the center of the shell 1 and a plurality of reciprocating screws 19 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the fixed shaft 18; the plurality of reciprocating screws 19 are sequentially arranged along the height direction of the fixed shaft 18; the plurality of baffles 5 are respectively screwed on the outside of the plurality of reciprocating screws 19; the fixed shaft 18 is sequentially arranged to penetrate the upper tube sheet 3 and the lower tube sheet 4, and is rotatably connected to the upper tube sheet 3 and the lower tube sheet 4 respectively; When the upper tube plate 3 rotates, the baffles 5 are driven to rotate synchronously through the tube bundles 2. Since the fixed shaft 18 and the reciprocating screw 19 are fixed, the baffles 5 also move back and forth up and down along the outside of the reciprocating screw 19 when rotating. In this process, the height of the steam flowing between two adjacent baffles 5 is changed, thereby avoiding the problem of steam easily forming vortices at the corners of the baffles 5 and gathering for a long time, and further avoiding the problem of reduced condensation efficiency due to steam gathering and occupying the condensation area.
[0022] Working principle: When in use, the coolant is injected into the shell 1 through the coolant inlet pipe 9, which is also below the lower tube plate 4. The coolant then enters the inside of each tube bundle 2 and flows from bottom to top, reaches the top of the partition 13, and is discharged through the coolant discharge pipe 7. The steam enters the shell 1 through the steam inlet pipe 6 and moves from top to bottom along the baffles 5 in a curve. In this process, the steam is cooled and cooled by each tube bundle 2, and the steam condenses into water, flows downward, and is discharged through the condensate discharge pipe 8. During the condensation process, the first gear 12 is driven to rotate at a low speed by the control motor 11, and the upper tube plate 3 is driven to rotate through the meshing effect between the first gear 12 and the outer gear ring 10. Through the connection effect of the tube bundle 2, the lower tube plate 4 and the baffle 5 are rotated synchronously, changing the flow path of the steam inside the shell 1, and when the upper tube plate 3 rotates, it drives each tube bundle 2 to be fixed The shaft 18 revolves around the tube bundle 2, and the meshing between the second gears 15 and the inner gear ring 14 drives the tube bundle 2 to rotate, so that the frontal surface of the tube bundle 2, that is, the side facing the steam flow direction, remains variable, thereby avoiding the problem of uniform cooling of the steam by the internal coolant due to the unchanged frontal surface of the tube bundle 2, thereby improving the use effect of the coolant. At the same time, when the upper tube plate 3 rotates, the baffles 5 are driven to rotate synchronously through the tube bundles 2. Since the fixed shaft 18 and the reciprocating screw 19 are fixed, the baffles 5 also reciprocate up and down along the outside of the reciprocating screw 19 when rotating. In this process, the height of the steam flowing between the two adjacent baffles 5 is changed, thereby avoiding the problem of steam easily forming vortices at the corners of the baffles 5 and gathering for a long time, and further avoiding the problem of reduced condensation efficiency due to steam gathering and occupying the condensation area.
