Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air heat exchangers, and in particular to an air heat exchanger and an installation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Air heat exchangers are widely used in current industrial production, building HVAC, and many other fields involving heat exchange and air treatment. However, the structural design of traditional air heat exchangers often fixes the position and interface orientation of various components during installation. This makes it difficult for installers to flexibly adjust the equipment according to actual on-site conditions in different usage scenarios, such as places with limited space layouts or industrial workshops with complex pipeline routes. Forcibly adapting to the on-site pipeline layout may require large-scale equipment modifications, which not only increases installation costs but also consumes a lot of time and manpower.

[0003] The internal design of many air heat exchangers is not conducive to future maintenance. Due to the complex connection between the outer shell and internal components, the removal and reinstallation process of internal parts such as heat exchange pipes and seals is cumbersome and requires a lot of time and professional technicians to complete the operation. This undoubtedly increases maintenance costs and downtime of the equipment, affecting production efficiency.

[0004] In summary, existing air heat exchangers lack installation flexibility and maintenance convenience, and cannot meet the needs of modern industry and life for efficient, convenient, and reliable air heat exchange equipment. Therefore, the development of an air heat exchanger and its installation method is urgent. Summary of the Invention
