AI Technical Summary
Conventional wall heat exchange devices have low heat exchange efficiency under large temperature differences, especially when the liquid volume is limited or the cost is high, it is difficult to meet the needs of efficient heat exchange.
The casing heat exchanger structure is adopted. The high-temperature gas first passes through the outer tube and then changes heat with the low-temperature liquid, then enters the inner side of the inner tube and then exchanges heat with the liquid again, forming a double heat exchange process.
It improves heat exchange efficiency, reduces the volume of the heat exchange device and saves the amount of liquid, and is especially suitable for applications where liquid volume is limited or cost-effective.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of heat exchange, particularly to the field of shell-and-tube heat exchange technology between gas and liquid. Background Art
[0002] For conventional shell-and-tube heat exchange devices, such as shell-and-tube heat exchangers, plate heat exchangers, etc., the fluid on the high-temperature side transfers heat to the fluid on the low-temperature side through the partition wall, and both the high- and low-temperature fluids pass through the heat exchange partition wall only once. When the temperature difference between the high- and low-temperature fluids is large, the heat exchange efficiency is low. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to solve the problem of low heat exchange efficiency of shell-and-tube heat exchange with large temperature difference, the present invention proposes a gas-liquid heat exchange device applicable to heat exchange between high-temperature gas and liquid, which is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger composed of an outer tube and an inner tube. After the high-temperature gas exchanges heat with the low-temperature liquid through the outer tube, it returns to the inner side of the inner tube and exchanges heat with the low-temperature liquid again.
[0004] The gas-liquid heat exchange device of the present invention can improve the heat exchange efficiency, reduce the volume of the heat exchange device, and reduce the volume on the liquid side, and is particularly suitable for application occasions where the volume of the liquid is limited or the cost of the liquid is very high and the liquid loading amount needs to be controlled. Brief Description of the Drawings

Detailed Embodiment
[0006] The gas-liquid heat exchange device of the present invention is composed of a hot gas upper header 1, an inner tube 2, an upper tube sheet of inner tube 3, an outer tube 4, an upper tube sheet of outer tube 5, a hot gas connecting pipe 6, a hot gas lower header 7, a lower tube sheet of inner tube 8, a liquid inlet lower header 9, a lower tube sheet of outer tube 10, a heat exchange chamber 11, and a liquid outlet upper header 12.
[0007] Combined with the above drawings, it is specifically described as follows.
[0008] The inner tube 2 passes through the inside of the outer tube 4, and both ends of the inner tube 2 are welded or expanded with the upper tube sheet of inner tube 3 and the lower tube sheet of inner tube 8 respectively; both ends of the outer tube 4 are welded or expanded with the upper tube sheet of outer tube 5 and the lower tube sheet of outer tube 10 respectively.
[0009] Further, the high-temperature gas enters from the outer tube heat exchange chamber 11, exchanges heat with the outer tube 4, then enters the hot gas lower header 7 through the hot gas connecting pipe 6, and then enters the inner side of the inner tube 2 to exchange heat with the liquid again. Finally, it is discharged through the hot gas upper header 1. The low-temperature liquid enters from the liquid inlet header 9, passes through the jacket between the outer tube 4 and the inner tube 2, and is discharged after entering the liquid outlet upper header 12.
