Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of plate heat exchangers, and particularly relates to a disassembly-free plate heat exchanger for a test bench with a cleaning function. Background Art
[0002] The plate heat exchanger is an important component of a hydrogen fuel test bench and an electrolyzed water test bench, and is an efficient heat exchange device. Its principle is to form channels by stacking plate sheets, and achieve the purpose of heat exchange through heat transfer between fluids. Since the current cold water source has impure water quality and the filter cannot effectively remove impurities, and at the same time the internal flow aperture of the plate heat exchanger is small, over time, dirt will form inside the plate heat exchanger. After scaling, the internal channel cross-section becomes smaller or even blocked, resulting in a reduction in the heat exchange efficiency of the plate heat exchanger, thus affecting the normal progress of the test and the safety of the equipment. The blockage of the plate heat exchanger will affect the water flow during the test, resulting in too high a stack temperature during the test, directly affecting the battery performance. Therefore, the plate heat exchanger should be cleaned regularly to remove dirt to ensure the efficient heat exchange of the plate heat exchanger and the normal progress of the test.
[0003] At present, during the use of the plate heat exchanger, since the plate heat exchanger needs to be cleaned regularly and the plate heat exchanger needs to be disassembled before cleaning, the process is relatively complicated, and it is easy to cause adverse effects such as leakage of the heat exchanger and damage to spare parts.

[0040] Working principle and usage process of the present invention: When the heat exchange efficiency of the plate heat exchanger decreases, it is necessary to clean the scale inside the plate heat exchanger. Before starting the circulating cleaning, connect the transducer 71 and the ultrasonic generator 72 before starting the circulating flushing. Then, open the liquid adding three-way valve 46, inject water into the cleaning tank 2 through the water injection pipe 45. After checking that the system circulation is normal, inject an appropriate amount of cleaning agent into the cleaning tank 2 from the cleaning liquid injection pipe 21. The mixed cleaning liquid passes through the circulation pump 41 and starts circulating cleaning through the first conduit 4, the plate heat exchanger body 1, and the second conduit 5. Turn on the switch of the ultrasonic generator 72 and perform ultrasonic cleaning simultaneously. The ultrasonic generator 72 is responsible for converting electrical energy into high-frequency alternating current signals, which are transmitted to the transducer 71 through the cable. The transducer 71 converts the received electrical signals into mechanical vibrations, thereby generating ultrasonic waves.
[0041] The concentration of the cleaning liquid in the circulating water is detected by the first circulating water detector 51. If the concentration decreases, the cleaning agent is replenished in a timely manner to keep the concentration of the cleaning liquid within a safe and effective range at all times. When the concentration of the cleaning liquid no longer changes or the change amount is very small, it indicates that the plate heat exchanger has been cleaned.
[0042] After the circulating cleaning is completed, in cooperation with the switching three-way valve 53, the circulating waste water will be discharged into the liquid storage tank 3 through the discharge pipe 61. Fill the cleaning tank 2 with clean water, use the circulation pump 41 to flush the plate heat exchanger, drain the waste water, and then rinse repeatedly with clean water until the pH value of the water quality detected by the second circulating water detector 62 reaches 7, then the clean water flushing can be ended, and the entire circulating descaling cleaning is completed.
