Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of shell and tube heat exchangers, and in particular to a horizontal shell and tube heat exchanger capable of reducing scaling. Background Art

[0002] The horizontal shell and tube heat exchanger is a partitioned wall heat exchanger that uses the wall of the tube bundle in a closed shell as the heat transfer surface. It is mainly composed of a shell, a tube bundle, a tube sheet and a head. The shell is circular and contains parallel tube bundles. The two ends of the tube bundle are fixed to the tube sheet. The two fluids that exchange heat in it, one flows inside the tube, and its stroke is called the tube side, and the other flows outside the tube, and its stroke is called the shell side. In order to improve the heat transfer coefficient of the fluid outside the tube, a certain number of transverse baffles are usually installed in the shell to make the fluid flow through the tube bundle multiple times along the specified path, increase the fluid velocity and improve the turbulence level. It has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, high temperature and high pressure resistance, mature manufacturing process, strong adaptability, and a wide range of material selection. It is widely used in industrial fields such as chemical industry, petroleum, refrigeration, nuclear energy and power.

[0003] When a heat exchanger is working, the solubility of scaling substances in the internal tube fluid will change significantly due to temperature changes, which can easily cause scale to form, affecting the heat transfer efficiency of the heat exchange tube and even causing blockage. When processing some tube fluids containing impurities, the fluid needs to be filtered to prevent impurities from adhering to the tube and providing attachment points for scale. Therefore, we have proposed a horizontal shell and tube heat exchanger that reduces scaling. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a horizontal shell and tube heat exchanger with reduced scaling, comprising:

[0005] A housing, wherein a support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing, and an end cover is fixedly connected to the open end of the housing by bolts;

[0006] a heat exchange mechanism, the heat exchange mechanism being disposed inside the housing, and a surface of the heat exchange mechanism being fixedly connected to an inner side surface of the housing;

[0007] An anti-blocking mechanism is disposed inside the end cover, and a surface of the anti-blocking mechanism is fixedly connected to an inner side surface of the end cover;

[0008] Wherein, the heat exchange mechanism includes:

[0009] The heat exchange tube is arranged in a U shape, with both ends of the heat exchange tube facing the end caps, the inner side of the shell is fixedly connected to a tube sheet, the inner side of the tube sheet is fixedly connected to the outer side of the heat exchange tube, and a plurality of heat exchange tubes are evenly distributed inside the shell;

[0010] A tube block, wherein the tube block is fixedly connected to a side of the tube sheet close to the end cover, the outer side of the tube block is fixedly connected to the inner side of the shell, and the inner side of the tube block is fixedly connected to the outer side of the heat exchange tube;

[0011] The side of the tube block close to the end cover is arranged in an arc shape, and the end of the heat exchange tube is fitted with the arc surface of the tube block;

[0012] The tube-side fluid enters the heat exchange tube from the upper part of the end cover and enters the lower part of the end cover along the heat exchange tube. At the same time, the shell-side medium enters from the bottom of the shell and flows in the opposite direction to the tube-side fluid inside the shell to achieve heat exchange. The side of the tube block close to the end cover is set to be arc-shaped, and the heat exchange tube fits the arc surface. When the tube-side fluid enters the heat exchange tube, the smooth arc surface can guide the tube-side fluid into the heat exchange tube, reducing the collision between the tube-side fluid and the tube sheet, thereby reducing the probability of impurity adhesion, thereby avoiding blockage at the tube mouth of the heat exchange tube. The smooth arc surface is not conducive to the adhesion of impurities. The reduction in impurity adhesion also reduces the roughness of the tube block and the end of the heat exchange tube during long-term use, thereby increasing the difficulty of scale adhesion and further improving the anti-blocking effect during long-term use.

[0013] Furthermore, the side of the end cover away from the support plate is fixedly connected to the upper tube-side tube, the side of the end cover away from the upper tube-side tube is fixedly connected to the lower tube-side tube, the side of the shell away from the support plate is fixedly connected to the upper shell-side tube, the side of the shell away from the upper shell-side tube is fixedly connected to the lower shell-side tube, and the lower shell-side tube is arranged on the side of the shell away from the end cover, the tube-side fluid enters from the upper tube-side tube and then passes through the heat exchange tube, and at the same time the shell-side medium enters from the lower shell-side tube and enters the interior of the shell, the two flow in reverse directions to achieve heat exchange, and then the shell-side fluid leaves the heat exchanger through the lower tube-side tube, and the tube-side medium leaves the heat exchanger through the upper shell-side tube.

[0014] Furthermore, a partition is provided in the middle of the end cover, and the partition is fixedly connected to the inner side surface of the end cover, and the side of the partition away from the end cover is fixedly connected to the arcuate surface of the tube block. The partition is provided to separate the end cover and at the same time separate the two ends of each heat exchange tube, so that the tube-side fluids before and after heat exchange are respectively located on both sides of the partition.

[0015] Furthermore, the inner side surface of the shell is fixedly connected with a first baffle, and several first baffles are arranged inside the shell, and several first baffles are provided with second baffles on the side away from the end cover, and the second baffles are fixedly connected to the inner side surface of the shell away from the first baffle, and the first baffle and the second baffle are inclined toward the side close to the end cover, and several heat exchange tubes pass through several first baffles and second baffles, and the outer side surfaces of the heat exchange tubes are fixedly connected to the inner side surfaces of the first baffle and the second baffle, and the first baffle and the second baffle are arranged to baffle the shell-side medium, change the flow direction of the shell-side fluid, make the fluid flow in a zigzag manner, and increase the heat exchange rate. Increasing the flow rate of the fluid in the shell side, improving the turbulence of the fluid, enhancing the convective heat transfer between the fluid and the outer surface of the heat exchange tube, reducing the boundary layer thermal resistance, thereby improving the overall heat transfer efficiency of the heat exchanger, and making the fluid repeatedly cross the tube bundle in the shell side, extending the residence time of the fluid in the shell side, increasing the contact opportunity between the fluid and the heat exchange tube, and thus improving the heat transfer effect. The first baffle and the second baffle are inclined, and the oblique flow and strong fluid disturbance caused by the inclined setting can more effectively flush the surface of the heat exchange tube, reduce the attachment and deposition of dirt on the tube surface, destroy the favorable conditions for dirt deposition, and make it difficult for dirt to form a stable deposition layer on the surface of the heat exchange tube, thereby extending the cleaning cycle of the equipment and reducing maintenance costs.

[0016] Furthermore, the anti-blocking mechanism includes a coarse filter plate, which is arranged just below the upper tube-side tube. The surface of the coarse filter plate is slidably connected to the inner side surface of the end cover. The side of the coarse filter plate away from the upper tube-side tube is slidably connected to the side of the partition away from the lower tube-side tube. The coarse filter plate is bent toward the side close to the partition. The setting of the coarse filter plate can filter large particles of impurities in the tube-side fluid to prevent large particles of impurities from entering the heat exchange tube and causing blockage. The bent coarse filter plate allows impurities in the fluid to fall obliquely toward the coarse filter plate, which can prevent large particles of impurities from directly getting stuck in the coarse filter plate, thereby preventing the filter holes of the coarse filter plate from being blocked.

[0017] Furthermore, a fine filter plate is fixedly connected to the side of the coarse filter plate close to the shell, the surface of the fine filter plate is slidably connected to the inner side of the end cover, and the side of the fine filter plate away from the coarse filter plate is slidably connected to the surface of the partition. The fine filter plate is provided to filter small particle impurities in the pipe flow, further preventing the heat exchange tube from being blocked.

[0018] Furthermore, a dovetail groove is symmetrically provided on one side of the partition close to the fine filter plate, and a slider is slidably connected to the inner side of the dovetail groove. The side of the slider away from the partition is fixedly connected to the coarse filter plate and the side of the fine filter plate close to the partition. The dovetail groove and the slider are provided so that the coarse filter plate and the fine filter plate can be disassembled, which is convenient for cleaning the inside of the end cover.

[0019] Furthermore, a corner block is provided on the side of the coarse filter plate away from the fine filter plate, and the corner block is fixedly connected to the side of the coarse filter plate away from the partition plate, and the corner block is arranged directly below the filter hole of the coarse filter plate. The corner block is provided, and the corner block is arranged below the filter hole of the coarse filter plate, so that the tube-side fluid can completely pass through the coarse filter plate, thereby avoiding the generation of residual tube-side fluid during heat exchange.

[0020] Furthermore, an anti-blocking plate is provided at the interval between the coarse filter plate and the fine filter plate, and the anti-blocking plate is provided directly above the partition plate, and the anti-blocking plate is provided in a broken line shape. The setting of the anti-blocking plate can collide with the tube-side fluid, so that the scaling substances in the fluid adhere to the surface of the anti-blocking plate, thereby reducing the solubility of scaling substances in the tube-side fluid entering the heat exchange tube, thereby reducing the generation of scale in the heat exchange tube and avoiding blockage of the heat exchange tube. The anti-blocking plate is provided at the interval between the coarse filter plate and the fine filter plate. The fluid at the interval contains a large amount of small particle impurities, and the small particle impurities are very easy to adhere to the surface of the anti-blocking plate, thereby providing conditions for the attachment of scaling substances, increasing the attachment of scaling substances to the anti-blocking plate, and further avoiding blockage of the heat exchange tube. At the same time, the anti-blocking plate is provided in a broken line shape, which can provide a larger attachment area within a limited range, and further prolong the time for scaling and blockage of the heat exchange tube.

[0021] Furthermore, there are several anti-blocking plates, and the several anti-blocking plates are all arranged at the filter hole intervals of the coarse filter plate. The anti-blocking plate has a groove on the side away from the coarse filter plate. The several anti-blocking plates can further increase the adhesion of scaling substances, and the anti-blocking plates are arranged at the filter hole intervals of the coarse filter plate, so that the pipe-side fluid can fully impact the anti-blocking plates, so that small particles of impurities and scaling substances can be better attached. The anti-blocking plates are grooved to ensure the smooth passage of fluid and small particles of impurities.

[0022] The present invention has the beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. The present invention provides a heat exchange mechanism, wherein one side of the tube block close to the end cover is configured to be arc-shaped, and the heat exchange tube is in contact with the arc-shaped surface. When the tube-side fluid enters the heat exchange tube, the smooth arc-shaped surface can guide the tube-side fluid into the heat exchange tube, reducing the collision between the tube-side fluid and the tube sheet, thereby reducing the probability of impurities adhering to the tube, thereby avoiding blockage at the tube mouth of the heat exchange tube. The smooth arc-shaped surface is not conducive to the adhesion of impurities. The reduced adhesion of impurities also reduces the roughness of the tube block and the end of the heat exchange tube during long-term use, thereby increasing the difficulty of scale adhesion and further improving the anti-blocking effect during long-term use.

[0024] 2. The present invention sets baffles, and the first baffle and the second baffle can baffle the shell-side medium, change the flow direction of the shell-side fluid, make the fluid flow in a zigzag manner, increase the flow velocity of the fluid in the shell, increase the turbulence of the fluid, enhance the convective heat transfer between the fluid and the outer surface of the heat exchange tube, reduce the boundary layer thermal resistance, thereby improving the overall heat transfer efficiency of the heat exchanger, making the fluid repeatedly cross the tube bundle in the shell, extending the residence time of the fluid in the shell, increasing the contact opportunity between the fluid and the heat exchange tube, and thus improving the heat transfer effect. The first baffle and the second baffle are set at an angle, and the resulting oblique flow and strong fluid disturbance can more effectively flush the surface of the heat exchange tube, reduce the adhesion and deposition of dirt on the tube surface, destroy the favorable conditions for dirt deposition, and make it difficult for dirt to form a stable deposition layer on the surface of the heat exchange tube, thereby extending the cleaning cycle of the equipment and reducing maintenance costs.

[0025] 3. The present invention provides an anti-blocking mechanism. The coarse filter plate can filter large particles of impurities in the tube-side fluid to prevent large particles of impurities from entering the heat exchange tube and causing blockage. The curved coarse filter plate allows impurities in the fluid to fall obliquely toward the coarse filter plate, which can prevent large particles of impurities from directly getting stuck in the coarse filter plate, thereby preventing the filter holes of the coarse filter plate from being blocked. The fine filter plate filters small particles of impurities in the tube-side flow to further prevent the heat exchange tube from being blocked. The dovetail groove and the slider allow the coarse filter plate and the fine filter plate to be disassembled, which is convenient for cleaning the inside of the end cover. The corner block is provided below the filter hole of the coarse filter plate, so that the tube-side fluid can completely pass through the coarse filter plate, avoiding the generation of residual tube-side fluid during heat exchange.

[0026] 4. The present invention sets an anti-blocking plate to collide with the tube-side fluid, so that the substances in the fluid that are prone to scaling adhere to the surface of the anti-blocking plate, thereby reducing the solubility of scaling substances in the tube-side fluid entering the heat exchange tube, and further reducing the generation of scale in the heat exchange tube, avoiding blockage of the heat exchange tube, and the anti-blocking plate is set at the gap between the coarse filter plate and the fine filter plate. The fluid in the gap contains a large amount of small particle impurities, and the small particle impurities are very easy to adhere to the surface of the anti-blocking plate, thereby providing conditions for the attachment of scaling substances, increasing the attachment of scaling substances to the anti-blocking plate, and further avoiding blockage of the heat exchange tube. At the same time, the anti-blocking plate is set in a broken line shape, which can provide a larger attachment area within a limited range, and further prolong the time for scaling and blockage of the heat exchange tube.

[0045] The tube-side fluid enters the heat exchange tube 81 from the upper half of the end cover 3 and enters the lower half of the end cover 3 along the heat exchange tube 81. At the same time, the shell-side medium enters from the bottom of the shell 1 and flows in the opposite direction to the tube-side fluid inside the shell 1 to achieve heat exchange. The side of the tube block 83 close to the end cover 3 is set to be arc-shaped, and the heat exchange tube 81 fits the arc surface. When the tube-side fluid enters the heat exchange tube 81, the smooth arc surface can guide the tube-side fluid into the heat exchange tube 81, reducing the collision between the tube-side fluid and the tube sheet 82, thereby reducing the probability of impurity adhesion, thereby avoiding blockage at the tube mouth of the heat exchange tube 81. The smooth arc surface is not conducive to the adhesion of impurities. The reduction in impurity adhesion also reduces the roughness of the tube block 83 and the end of the heat exchange tube 81 during long-term use, thereby increasing the difficulty of scale adhesion and further improving the anti-blocking effect during long-term use.

The first deflector 84 and the second deflector 85 are tilted, and the oblique flow and strong fluid disturbance caused by the tilted arrangement can more effectively flush the surface of the heat exchange tube 81, reduce the adhesion and deposition of dirt on the tube surface, destroy the favorable conditions for dirt deposition, and make it difficult for dirt to form a stable deposition layer on the surface of the heat exchange tube 81, thereby extending the cleaning cycle of the equipment and reducing maintenance costs.

The anti-blocking plate 96 is provided at the interval between the coarse filter plate 91 and the fine filter plate 94. The fluid in the interval contains a large amount of small particles of impurities, which are very easy to adhere to the surface of the anti-blocking plate 96, thereby providing conditions for the attachment of scaling substances, increasing the attachment of scaling substances to the anti-blocking plate 96, and further avoiding the blockage of the heat exchange tube 81.
