Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of heat exchangers, and in particular to a shell-side medium outlet elbow structure. [Background Technology]

[0002] A heat exchanger, also known as a heat exchanger, is a device that transfers some of the heat from a hot fluid to a cold fluid. Heat exchangers play an important role in chemical, petroleum, power, food, and many other industrial processes. In chemical production, heat exchangers can serve as heaters, coolers, condensers, evaporators, and reboilers.

[0003] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A shell-side medium outlet elbow structure in the prior art is disclosed, which includes a first pipe section 2' welded to the equipment barrel 1', a second pipe section 4' welded to the tube sheet 3', and a flange 5' welded to the outside of the first pipe section 2'. The space outside the heat exchange tube below the tube sheet 3' is the shell side, and the space outside the shell-side medium outlet elbow above the tube sheet 3' is the tube side. The defects of the shell-side medium outlet elbow structure in the prior art are: 1. The shell-side medium has a high speed when entering the shell-side medium outlet elbow from the shell side below the tube sheet, so the shell-side medium has a large impact force on the shell-side medium outlet elbow, which is easy to damage the shell-side medium outlet elbow. 2. The shell-side medium passes from the shell side below the tube sheet through the shell-side medium outlet elbow and finally reaches the pipeline outside the equipment. When the shell-side medium passes through the shell-side medium outlet elbow, the shell-side medium flows inside the shell-side medium outlet elbow, while the tube-side medium flows outside the shell-side medium outlet elbow. Therefore, there is a temperature difference between the shell-side medium and the tube-side medium, which will generate temperature difference stress. The temperature difference stress will cause cracks in the welds between the equipment cylinder and the first pipe section and the welds between the tube sheet and the second pipe section.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a shell-side medium outlet elbow structure that solves the above technical problems. [Summary of the invention]
