Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, in particular to an evaporative heat exchanger with high heat exchange efficiency. Background Art
[0002] The evaporative heat exchanger mainly realizes heat exchange based on the principle of water evaporation and heat absorption. It is usually composed of heat transfer tube bundles, air circulation channels and other parts. The hot fluid flows in the heat transfer tube bundle. At the same time, the air flows through the surface of the tube bundle under the action of the fan, exchanging heat and mass with the water film. During the evaporation process, the water absorbs the heat of the hot fluid in the tube bundle, thereby cooling the hot fluid, while the air is humidified and heated.
[0003] Existing heat exchangers, such as fin heat exchangers, achieve heat exchange by connecting multiple identical copper tubes end to end. However, after long-term use, dirt will be generated inside, and the accumulation of dirt will reduce the overall heat exchange efficiency. Therefore, the outer surface needs to be cleaned regularly, but the current cleaning method requires the fin tubes to be disassembled for operation, which is an extremely cumbersome process.

A plurality of fixing rings 55 are fixedly inlaid in the interior of the driving plate 7, and the end faces of the plurality of fixing rings 55 are rotatably arranged on the end faces of the corresponding rotating ring 8. Each fixing ring 55 is connected in series through the straight pipe 54, and the pressurizer 51 will pressurize the interior of the mixing box 52, so that the medicine can enter the interior of each fixing ring 55 through the straight pipe 54.
[0026] A water storage cavity 56 is provided inside each of the plurality of fixing rings 55 . The bottom end of the straight tube 54 passes through the outer surface of the corresponding fixing ring 55 and is interconnected with the water storage cavity 56 .

When the water inlet groove 46 rotates to the arc groove 57, the medicine will enter the water inlet groove 46 through the arc groove 57, and then be sprayed onto the outer surface of the fin tube 6.
[0028] When using the device, first start the motor 4101 to move the threaded rod 4102, and the threaded rod 4102 will move the driving plate 7. When the driving plate 7 moves, it will drive the internal fixed ring 55 and the rotating ring 8 to move. When the rotating ring 8 moves, it will drive the driven gear 45 to move. Therefore, the movement of the driven gear 45 drives the chain 43 and the two transmission gears 44 to move. Since the transmission gear 44 is sleeved on the outer surface of the ball screw 42, the transmission gear 44 will rotate during the movement, thereby driving the driven gear 45 to rotate. The rotation of the driven gear 45 will drive the rotating ring 8 to rotate. The rotating ring 8 rotates When the fin tube 6 is rotated, the brush bundle 9 inside is driven to clean the outer surface of the fin tube 6. At this time, the inclined surface of the inclined plate 412 contacts the fin of the fin tube 6, thereby driving the brush bundle 9 to move, thereby driving the piston plate 413 away from the opening of the connecting groove 47, and squeezing the spring 410 at the same time. At this time, the pressurizer 51 will pressurize the inside of the mixing box 52, so that the medicine enters the water storage chamber 56 of the fixing ring 55 through the mixing box 52 and the straight pipe 54, and the medicine enters the water inlet groove 46 through the arc groove 57 connected to the water storage chamber 56, and the medicine is sprayed out from the opening of the connecting groove 47.
