Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sewage heat pump systems, in particular to a sewage source heat exchanger with reverse flow and double channels. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a sewage source heat pump system, the sewage heat exchanger is the core component for heat exchange between sewage and intermediate fluid. Since sewage often contains solid impurities and suspended solids, the existing technology usually uses a large-width flow channel type heat exchanger to reduce the risk of blockage by increasing the flow channel aperture to allow the dirt to pass directly. However, such heat exchangers still have the following problems in terms of maintenance and cleaning:

[0003] Incomplete deep-seated dirt cleaning: the existing design provides rotatable side doors on both sides of the heat exchanger, and during maintenance, the internal flow channel needs to be flushed with a high-pressure water gun through the opened side doors. However, due to the poor accessibility of the cleaning tool, the high-pressure water flow cannot accurately act on the deep area of the flow channel (especially near the center), resulting in that stubborn dirt (such as calcified deposits and biological sludge) that has been adhered for a long time and caked cannot be completely removed, and the traditional flushing method can only remove loose surface attachments, and has limited effect on block-shaped dirt with high adhesion strength;

[0004] Thin-walled structure vulnerable to impact damage: to improve heat exchange efficiency, the flow channel wall of the heat exchanger is usually designed to be thin. However, during high-pressure water gun flushing, the high-speed jet flow entrains impurities such as mud and particulate matter remaining in the flow channel, and continuous impact on the wall can cause local wear, pits, and even perforation, especially in stress concentration areas such as welds and corners, the damage risk increases significantly. Structural damage caused by mechanical impact can directly affect the service life and operational reliability of the equipment. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to overcome the above technical problems, the purpose of the present application is to provide a sewage source heat exchanger with reverse flow and double channels to solve the problems of the existing sewage heat exchanger that the high-pressure water gun cannot reach the deep area of the flow channel after the side door is opened, the stubborn dirt cannot be completely removed, and the thin-walled structure is vulnerable to impact damage from high-speed jet flow entrained impurities, affecting the service life and reliability of the equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the back plate and the front plate of the middle shell mechanism is provided with a convex extension, the convex extension is embedded with a sealing strip, and is used for extruding the heat exchange fin one and the heat exchange fin two to form a seal.

[0011] Preferably, the adjusting frame mechanism comprises a movable frame and a side rail frame, the movable frame is slidingly connected with the side rail frame, the adjusting frame mechanism is provided with two groups of left shell bodies or right shell bodies which are fixedly connected, and the movable frame is driven by an electric telescopic rod, and is used for controlling the transverse displacement of the left shell mechanism and the right shell mechanism.

[0012] Preferably, the front plate is driven to translate along the lower guide frame by the electric telescopic rod, and the lower guide frame is provided with a limiting baffle to prevent the front plate from falling out.

[0013] Preferably, the medium flow direction of the left heat exchange flow channel and the medium flow direction of the right heat exchange flow channel are arranged in parallel, and both are countercurrent heat exchange with the medium flow direction of the middle sewage flow channel.

[0014] Preferably, the electric telescopic rods of the front plate, the left shell mechanism and the right shell mechanism are electrically connected to a central controller.

[0015] Preferably, when the cleaning mode is started, the front plate first moves along the lower guide frame to separate the side of the middle sewage flow channel, and then the left shell mechanism and the right shell mechanism move away from each other through the adjusting frame mechanism, so that the middle sewage flow channel is completely separated.
