[0020] In order to better understand the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 The segmented gas heat exchanger shown is composed of three gas heat exchange segments arranged along a straight line and having the same structure.
[0022] like Figures 5 to 8As shown, the gas heat exchange group includes a heat insulation box 1 and a heat exchange module. The heat exchange module adopts a double-channel design, which includes an inner tube 2 for hot exhaust gas to pass through and an outer tube 3 for cooling fresh air to pass through. The inner tube 2 and the outer tube 3 are both metal round tubes. The outer tube 3 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the inner tube 2. Both ends of the outer tube 3 are fixed with end covers 3.1. The two ends of the inner tube 2 are respectively exposed outside the outer tube 3 along the central through hole provided on the end cover 3.1 at the same end. The end covers 3.1 at both ends of the inner tube 2 and the outer tube 3 are sealed and connected, so that a partition is formed between the inner tube 2 and the outer tube 3 to prevent leakage of hot exhaust gas or heat. The short-circuited closed compartment 4 is connected to the outside world through the fresh air duct 5 provided at both ends of the outer tube 3; the heat-insulating box 1 is a rectangular box and its two short sides are set as connecting surfaces. The inner tube 2 is horizontally arranged inside the heat-insulating box 1 and its two ends are exposed to the outside of the heat-insulating box 1 along the first through holes corresponding to the two connecting surfaces. The fresh air ducts 5 at both ends of the outer tube 3 are exposed to the outside of the heat-insulating box 1 along the second through holes corresponding to the two connecting surfaces. The outer tube 3 is wrapped in the heat-insulating box 1 as a whole, which can reduce the heat loss of the inner tube 2 and the outer tube 3, and at the same time protect the internal structure from interference from the external environment.
[0023] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the outer wall of the inner tube 2 is spirally provided with a spiral guide plate 11 extending to its two ends. The outer edge of the spiral guide plate 11 is tightly abutted against the inner wall of the outer tube 3 to form a fresh air spiral flow channel in the closed compartment 4. The two ends of the fresh air spiral flow channel are respectively connected to the fresh air ducts 5 at the two ends of the outer tube 3. During operation, the hot exhaust gas can flow axially in the inner tube 2, and the cold fresh air can flow around the inner tube 2 along the spiral flow channel, which can extend the heat exchange time between the hot exhaust gas and the cold fresh air, making the heat exchange between the hot exhaust gas and the cold fresh air more sufficient.
[0024] like Figures 6 to 9 As shown, in order to further accelerate the heat exchange between the hot exhaust gas in the inner tube 2 and the cold fresh air in the closed compartment 4, a number of heat superconducting tubes 6 are arranged on the wall of the inner tube 2. Figure 4 As shown, the thermal superconducting tube 6 is a vacuum tube filled with a thermal superconducting medium. One end of the thermal superconducting tube 6 is designated as a heat absorbing section 6.1, the other end as a heat dissipating section 6.2, a spacer ring 6.3 is provided on the central outer wall, and a plurality of heat sinks 6.21 are axially provided on the outer wall of the heat dissipating section 6.2 to increase the heat dissipation area. The thermal superconducting tube 6 is inserted and fixed into a socket provided in the wall of the inner tube 2, so that the heat absorbing section 6.1 is exposed within the inner tube 2 and the heat dissipating section 6.2 is exposed within the enclosed compartment 4. During use, the heat absorbing section 6.1 absorbs heat from the hot exhaust gas flowing through the inner tube 2 and transfers it to the heat dissipating section 6.2, which in turn heats the cool fresh air flowing through the enclosed compartment 4. The thermal superconducting medium accelerates the transfer of heat from the heat absorbing section 6.1 to the heat dissipating section 6.2, and the spiral heat sinks 6.21 accelerate the heat dissipation of the heat dissipating section 6.2.
[0025] like Figure 9As shown, the end of heat dissipation section 6.2 is provided with a port for injecting a thermal superconducting medium into superconducting heat pipe 6. The port is threadedly sealed with a cap 7. The thermal superconducting medium can be a gaseous heat transfer medium, a liquid heat transfer medium, or a vapor-liquid mixed heat transfer medium. A vapor-liquid mixed heat transfer medium is preferred to achieve rapid and uniform heat transfer.
[0026] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in order to facilitate the splicing between different sections, a first flange 2.1 is fixed at both ends of the inner tube 2; the inner end of the fresh air duct 5 is inserted and fixed in the pipe hole provided in the wall of the outer tube 3, the pipe body is connected to the pipe sleeve 3.11 provided on the outer edge of the end cover 3.1 on the same side, and the outer end is exposed outside the connecting surface on the same side of the insulation box 1.
[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the insulation boxes 1 of adjacent gas heat exchange sections are interconnected by a rectangular frame 8 to fix all the gas heat exchange sections as a whole, and the inner tubes 2 of adjacent gas heat exchange sections are connected to each other by the first flanges 2.1 at the corresponding ends to connect all the inner tubes 2 into hot exhaust gas pipes, and the fresh air ducts 5 of adjacent gas heat exchange sections are interconnected by a connecting pipe 12 to connect all the closed compartments 4 into cold fresh air channels.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a hot exhaust gas inlet cover 9 and a hot exhaust gas outlet cover 10 are respectively provided at both ends of the hot exhaust gas channel, and the fresh air ducts 5 located at both ends of the cold fresh air channel are respectively used as the cold fresh air inlet pipe 5' and the cold fresh air outlet pipe 5", the cold fresh air inlet pipe 5' is arranged at the same end of the hot exhaust gas outlet cover 10, and the cold fresh air outlet pipe 5" is arranged at the same end of the hot exhaust gas inlet cover 9, so that the flow directions of the hot exhaust gas and the cold fresh air are opposite, forming a cross heat exchange path, which is conducive to speeding up the heat exchange speed.
[0029] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the use of three gas heat exchange segments, and more than two gas heat exchange segments can be spliced and assembled as needed.
