Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shell and tube heat exchangers, in particular to a shell and tube heat exchanger for petrochemical industry. Background Art
[0002] Petrochemical production involves numerous complex processes, such as crude oil distillation, catalytic cracking, and hydrotreating. These processes require heating, cooling, and condensing fluids to control reaction temperatures and separate products. As key equipment for heat transfer, tubular heat exchangers directly impact the stability of the production process and product quality. With the expansion of petrochemical production and the improvement of process requirements, more complex and efficient tubular heat exchangers, such as shell-and-tube heat exchangers, have emerged. Shell-and-tube heat exchangers are categorized into various types based on their structural characteristics, including fixed tubesheet, floating head, U-tube, and stuffing box, to meet the heat exchange requirements under different operating conditions.
[0003] When an existing shell-and-tube heat exchanger performs heat exchange operations on fluids, it is necessary to introduce the corresponding hot fluid and cold fluid into the interior of the heat exchanger, and the corresponding heat exchange operation is completed through the contact between the hot fluid and the cold fluid. During the flow process, the temperature difference between the hot fluid and the cold fluid is too large, which will generate thermal stress, and the thermal stress will cause damage to the equipment. At the same time, the flow of the hot fluid and the cold fluid inside the container will cause some impurities to accumulate and adhere to the inside of the container, seriously affecting the heat utilization rate of the heat exchanger, resulting in reduced heat transfer and heat exchange efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: A shell and tube heat exchanger for petrochemical industry, comprising a shell, an end of the shell fixedly connected to a pipe box, an end of the shell away from the pipe box fixedly connected to a discharge pipe, a top of the shell fixedly connected to a feed pipe, the feed pipe is located on a side of the shell close to the discharge pipe, and a top of the outer side of the shell fixedly connected to a discharge pipe, the discharge pipe is located on a side of the shell close to the pipe box;
[0005] Tube bundle, the tube bundle is fixedly installed inside the shell;
[0006] The sealing assembly is fixedly installed at the connection between the shell, the pipe box and the discharge pipe;
[0007] The tube bundle includes two tube sheets, and the two tube sheets are respectively located at the connection between the shell and the tube box and the discharge pipe. Fixed tubes are arranged on the opposite sides of the tube sheets. The cooling medium enters the shell through the tube box and flows through the interior of the fixed tube and is then discharged through the discharge pipe. At the same time, the material to be cooled enters the interior of the shell through the feed pipe and contacts with the cooling medium inside the fixed tube to achieve efficient heat exchange, and quickly cool the material to be cooled to the temperature required for the subsequent process, ensuring that the subsequent processing proceeds smoothly, improving the efficiency of the entire production process and the quality of the product, and finally being discharged through the discharge pipe. At the inlet end of the shell, the material temperature is the highest, the medium temperature is the lowest, and the temperature difference is the largest; as the material flows in the shell and the medium flows in the fixed tube, the material gradually cools down and the medium gradually heats up. By adopting a countercurrent heat exchange method, a large temperature difference can be maintained between the material and the medium, so that in the entire heat exchange process, the high-temperature material and the low-temperature medium can always exchange heat under a large temperature difference, thereby improving the heat The driving force of quantity transfer makes heat transfer more sufficient, effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger. There are multiple fixed tubes, and the multiple fixed tubes are evenly arranged on the tube plate, and the multiple fixed tubes form a hexagon. The outside of the fixed tube is fixedly connected with a partition. By setting the inlet ends of the material and the medium at the two ends of the shell respectively, the temperature distribution of the fluid in the tube is relatively uniform, which reduces the thermal stress caused by drastic temperature changes, helps to extend the service life of the heat exchanger, reduce the possibility of damage to the equipment due to thermal fatigue, and ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment. The outside of the fixed tube is fixedly connected with a folded plate, and the partition is staggered and arranged on the fixed tube. The folded plate and the partition are both inclined. The material enters the interior of the shell through the feed pipe, and then flows in the gap between the folded plate and the partition inside the shell, dividing the shell side into multiple flow channels, increasing the shell side material flow rate, improving the heat transfer coefficient, reducing the short-circuiting phenomenon of the shell side material, making the material flow more evenly through the outside of the fixed tube, and improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0008] Preferably, a guide plate is fixedly connected to the side of the outer side of the fixed tube close to the feed tube, and the guide plate is connected to the fixed tubes on both sides of the hexagon. A through hole is opened on the outer side of the tube sheet close to the fixed tube, and the fixed tube is located inside the through hole. The through holes are distributed in a honeycomb shape. The honeycomb-shaped through holes make the structure of the tube sheet more uniform and the force more balanced. The walls between adjacent through holes support each other to form a stable structure similar to a honeycomb, which can effectively improve the pressure resistance and deformation resistance of the tube sheet and can withstand external forces such as the pressure difference between the tube side and the shell side fluid and the vibration of the pipeline. , reducing the possibility of damage such as cracks and deformation on the tube sheet. At the same time, the honeycomb-shaped distribution of through holes helps to achieve uniform distribution of the fluid in the tube side. When the fluid enters the fixed tube from the through hole on the tube sheet, the honeycomb distribution makes the fluid flow more uniform on the tube sheet cross section, avoiding the situation where the local flow is too large or too small, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the entire heat exchanger and making the heat exchange process more sufficient and stable. There are multiple through holes, and multiple through holes are evenly distributed on the tube sheet. The inner wall of the through hole is fixedly connected with a sleeve, which passes through the tube sheet through the through hole. The sleeve The end of the fixed tube is connected with a trapezoidal ring. There are two trapezoidal rings. The two trapezoidal rings are symmetrically arranged with the sleeve as the center. The outer sides of the two ends of the fixed tube are provided with threaded grooves. The end of the fixed tube is provided with a fixing block. The fixing block is threadedly connected with the fixed tube through the threaded groove. The fixed tube passes through the tube sheet through the through hole. Then, the pre-tightening force generated by tightening the fixing block makes the tube sheet and the fixed tube fit tightly. At the same time, the gasket is squeezed between the trapezoidal ring and the fixing block and fits tightly with the tube sheet to achieve sealing and fixed connection, which is convenient for assembly, disassembly and maintenance of the fixed tube. When inspecting, cleaning or replacing parts inside the heat exchanger, the fixing block can be easily loosened and the parts can be separated. The fixed pipe passes through the tube sheet, and the fixing block is located on the side of the tube sheet away from the fixed pipe. The side of the fixing block close to the trapezoidal ring is inclined. A gasket is provided on the side of the trapezoidal ring close to the tube sheet. The gasket is elastic and is located in the gap between the trapezoidal ring and the tube sheet. The inside of the fixed pipe is fixedly connected with an intermediate plate. By arranging the intermediate plate inside the fixed pipe, the single tube channel of the fixed pipe is divided into two parallel sub-channels, thereby increasing the fluid flow rate and promoting turbulence.
[0009] The cam is provided with a plurality of grooves on the sides of the tube sheet so as to prevent the tube sheet from being jammed and the cam is provided with a plurality of grooves on the sides of the tube sheet. Reduce the impact of vibration on the connection between the tube sheet and the shell, reduce fatigue stress, and extend the service life of the equipment. Due to the different fluid temperatures in the tube side and the shell side, the thermal expansion degrees of the tube sheet and the shell are different. The elastic ring can allow relative displacement between the tube sheet and the shell to a certain extent, compensate for this thermal expansion difference, and avoid damage to the equipment structure due to excessive thermal stress. The side plate close to the protrusion is fixedly connected with an elastic ring. There are two elastic rings, and the two elastic rings are symmetrically arranged with the tube sheet as the center. The elastic ring is a C-shaped ring, and the protrusion is located inside the groove of the elastic ring. The end of the side plate away from the ring plate is set as a bevel. The side of the ring plate is fixedly connected with a stopper. The stopper and the contact side form a labyrinth sealing structure. By setting a sealing component, the fluids in the tube side and the shell side are prevented from leaking into each other, ensuring that the two different media flow in their respective channels, ensuring the normal operation of the heat exchanger and the stability of the process, and preventing material loss, environmental pollution and even safety accidents caused by media leakage.

Under the flow of the cooling medium, the spiral plate drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the spiral plate cleans the outside of the filter plate to prevent the filter plate from being blocked. The filter plate is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft on the side away from the shell, and the outer side of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the spiral plate. There are multiple spiral plates, and the multiple spiral plates are evenly distributed with the rotating shaft as the center.

A ball is fixedly connected to the inside of the round tube, and the ball is located at the connection between the round tube and the horizontal tube. The substance enters the inside of the round tube. Under the guidance of the ball, the substance enters the inside of the horizontal tube through the guide grooves on both sides above, and then passes through the filter holes on the square plate and enters the inside of the round tube below the horizontal tube from the guide groove below, and then enters the inside of the shell, preventing impurities from entering the inside of the shell and preventing impurities from adhering to the fixed tube. The surface will form a dirt layer if it adheres for a long time. The thermal resistance of the dirt layer is large, which will hinder the transfer of heat and reduce the heat exchange effect. In addition, some corrosive impurities may corrode the surface of the fixed tube and further damage the heat exchanger. These impurities can be effectively removed by filtering to protect the cleanliness of the surface of the fixed tube. The sphere separates the circular tube and the transverse tube into four parts. There is a guide groove on the outside of the sphere. There are four guide grooves, which are set at the connection between the circular tube and the transverse tube.

At the inlet end of the shell 1, the material temperature is the highest, the medium temperature is the lowest, and the temperature difference is the largest; as the material flows in the shell and the medium flows in the fixed pipes 42, the material gradually cools down and the medium gradually heats up. By adopting a countercurrent heat exchange method, a large temperature difference can be maintained between the material and the medium, so that in the entire heat exchange process, the high-temperature material and the low-temperature medium can always exchange heat under a large temperature difference, thereby improving the heat transfer drive. Power, so that heat transfer is more sufficient, effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger, there are multiple fixed tubes 42, multiple fixed tubes 42 are evenly arranged on the tube plate 41, and multiple fixed tubes 42 form a hexagon, the outer side of the fixed tube 42 is fixedly connected with a partition 43, by setting the inlet ends of the substance and the medium at the two ends of the shell 1 respectively, so that the temperature distribution of the fluid in the tube is relatively uniform, reducing the thermal stress caused by drastic temperature changes, helping to extend the service life of the heat exchanger and reduce the damage of the equipment due to thermal fatigue In order to improve the possibility and ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment, a folded plate 45 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed tube 42, and the partition 43 and the folded plate 45 are staggered on the fixed tube 42.
