Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of heat exchanger cleaning technology, and more specifically to a high-efficiency online cleaning device for heat exchangers. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production, shell-and-tube heat exchangers are key equipment for achieving heat exchange between media and are widely used in chemical, petroleum, and HVAC fields. Their overall operating efficiency is closely related to the cleanliness of each component. Among them, the heat exchanger shell, as the core component that carries the shell-side fluid and protects the internal heat exchange structure, has a direct impact on the flowability of the shell-side fluid, heat exchange efficiency, and equipment safety due to the cleanliness of its inner wall. If scale, oil, corrosion products, and other dirt adhere to the inner wall of the shell, it will reduce the shell-side flow space, increase fluid resistance, and may also reduce the heat exchange effect due to the heat insulation effect of the dirt. Long-term accumulation is more likely to cause localized shell-side corrosion, threatening the safe operation of the equipment.
[0003] Currently, the industry still mainly relies on traditional manual operation for cleaning the inner wall of heat exchanger shells. This involves manually holding a high-pressure nozzle and inserting it into an opening on one side of the heat exchanger shell for rinsing. Due to the large internal space of the heat exchanger shell, this cleaning method is inefficient and consumes a lot of manpower and time. In addition, the cleaning effect depends on the operator's experience. Manually holding the nozzle makes it difficult to ensure uniform rinsing pressure and comprehensive coverage, which can easily create cleaning dead spots on the inner wall of the heat exchanger shell, resulting in dirt residue and failing to achieve overall cleanliness of the inner wall of the heat exchanger shell.

[0039] The bottom of the mounting plate 4 is provided with a water pushing mechanism 10, and the water pushing mechanism 10 can push the medicine water on the inner wall of the bottom of the heat exchange pipe shell, the water pushing mechanism 10 comprises a third electric push rod 101 fixedly arranged on the bottom of the mounting plate 4, a flexible water pushing plate 102 is fixedly arranged on the moving end of the third electric push rod 101, and the flexible water pushing plate 102 is in an arc-shaped plate, the third electric push rod 101 is extended to push the flexible water pushing plate 102 to contact with the inner wall of the heat exchanger shell, and the material characteristics (such as elastic rubber material) of the flexible water pushing plate 102 can avoid the hard abrasion to the inner wall of the heat exchanger shell.
[0040] The outer side wall of the fixed cylinder 1 is fixedly provided with a PLC controller 11, the first electric push rod 3, the motor 5, the cleaning mechanism 7, the medicine supplying mechanism 8, the bottom pressure boost trigger mechanism 9 and the water pushing mechanism 10 are electrically connected with the PLC controller 11.
[0041] Before the online cleaning operation of the shell of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger, the workers disassemble the shell covers at both ends of the heat exchanger one by one, take out the heat exchange tubes inside the shell (to avoid damage to the heat exchange tubes by the cleaning agent or water flow during the cleaning process, and to ensure that the cleaning space inside the shell is unobstructed), and then align the fixing cylinder 1 with the flange plate at one end of the heat exchanger shell. Special attention should be paid to the structure of the L-shaped fixing plates 21 at the top and bottom of the opening of the fixing cylinder 1, because the fixing plates will obstruct the direct insertion of the flange plate into the guide and clamping groove 12, so the two L-shaped fixing plates 21 need to be slowly sleeved from the side of the flange plate. After the fixing cylinder 1 is preliminarily positioned, the workers manually rotate the handle 24, which drives the screw rod 22 to rotate through the handle 24. During the rotation of the screw rod 22, the clamping plate 23 is pushed to move until the clamping plate 23 tightly abuts against the side wall of the flange plate, and at the same time, the guide and clamping groove 12 at the opening of the fixing cylinder 1 is in close contact with the end face of the flange plate, so as to realize the stable connection between the fixing cylinder 1 and the heat exchanger shell, prevent the equipment from shifting during the cleaning process and affecting the cleaning accuracy, and complete the fixation. After the fixation is completed, the power supply of the entire cleaning device is connected to ensure that the equipment is in normal standby state;
[0042] When entering the cleaning stage of the inner wall of the heat exchanger shell, the workers send operation instructions through the PLC controller 11. First, the first electric push rod 3 is started, and the moving end of the first electric push rod 3 slowly extends, synchronously driving the motor 5, the rotating pipe 6, the cleaning mechanism 7 and the water pushing mechanism 10 to move towards the inside of the heat exchanger shell. Then, the second electric push rod 72 and the third electric push rod 101 are synchronously controlled by the PLC controller 11. When the second electric push rod 72 extends, it drives the hollow cleaning plate 74 connected thereto to move towards the inner wall of the shell, so that the cleaning brushes 76 on the hollow cleaning plate 74 gradually come into contact with the inner wall of the shell. In this process, the pressure sensor 73 carried on the hollow cleaning plate 74 collects the contact pressure data of the cleaning brushes 76 and the inner wall in real time, and feeds the data back to the PLC controller 11. If the pressure value exceeds the preset safety range, the PLC controller 11 will automatically adjust the extension amount of the second electric push rod 72 to avoid excessive wear of the cleaning brushes 76 or damage to the inner wall of the shell due to excessive pressure. At the same time, the third electric push rod 101 synchronously extends and pushes the flexible water pushing plate 102 into contact with the inner wall of the heat exchanger shell. By utilizing the material characteristics (such as elastic rubber material) of the flexible water pushing plate 102, the inner wall of the heat exchanger shell is ensured to be in close contact while avoiding hard wear to the inner wall of the heat exchanger shell;
[0043] After the cleaning mechanism 7 and the water pushing mechanism 10 are in place, the staff operates the PLC controller 11 to synchronously start the motor 5 and the pump body in the medicine supply box 81. When the motor 5 operates, it drives the rotating tube 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the hollow rotating rod 71, the hollow cleaning plate 74 and the cleaning brush 76 at the end of the rotating tube 6 to rotate synchronously. The rotating cleaning brush 76 wipes the inner wall of the heat exchanger shell in all directions, stripping off stubborn dirt adhering to the inner wall. At the same time, the pump body in the medicine supply box 81 starts to pressurize the cleaning agent (such as a descaling agent, a cleaning agent) prepared inside and then draws it into the medicine supply bellows 82. The medicine is transported to the hollow medicine guide disc 83 through the medicine supply bellows 82, and the hollow medicine guide disc 83 is in communication with the rotating tube 6 through the medicine guide hole 85. The rotating tube 6 is in communication with the hollow rotating rod 71, and then the medicine is guided into the hollow cleaning plate 74 through the hollow rotating rod 71 and the rubber medicine guide tube 75. Finally, the medicine is uniformly sprayed onto the inner wall of the shell by the high-pressure spray head 77 on the hollow cleaning plate 74, forming a synergistic cleaning effect of "medicine spraying + brush wiping". During the cleaning process, the PLC controller 11 controls the first electric push rod 3 to perform intermittent extension operation, driving the entire cleaning mechanism 7 to move slowly along the length direction of the heat exchanger shell, ensuring that the cleaning brush 76 and the high-pressure spray head 77 can cover every area of the inner wall of the heat exchanger shell, and finally achieving comprehensive and thorough cleaning of the inner wall of the heat exchanger shell.
[0044] When the first electric push rod 3 performs intermittent extension action, its moving end synchronously drives the mounting plate 4 and the third electric push rod 101 and the flexible water pushing plate 102 fixed at the bottom of the mounting plate 4 to move along the axial direction of the heat exchanger shell. Since the flexible water pushing plate 102 has been adjusted to tightly fit the inner wall at the bottom of the heat exchanger shell by the third electric push rod 101 in advance, the flexible water pushing plate 102 can continuously slide and fit the bottom inner wall during the movement, pushing the medicine water (containing dissolved dirt and residual medicine) accumulated at the bottom of the heat exchanger shell to the other opening direction along the axial direction during the cleaning process. This can effectively prevent the medicine water from staying on the inner wall area for a long time after cleaning, prevent the corrosive components (such as acidic descaling agent and alkaline degreasing agent) in the residual medicine water from continuously corroding the cleaned heat exchanger shell inner wall, avoid the occurrence of pitting and mottling damage on the inner wall, reduce the secondary deposition of dirt after evaporation of the medicine water, avoid the formation of a new scale layer affecting the subsequent cleaning effect, prevent the local accumulation of medicine water at the bottom of the heat exchanger shell from causing the concentration to rise, and avoid the over-erosion of high-concentration medicine on the heat exchanger shell substrate, thereby reliably protecting the heat exchanger shell.
[0045] During the operation of the cleaning mechanism 7, the rotating pipe 6 drives the hollow cleaning plate 74 and the cleaning brush 76 to rotate under the drive of the motor 5. When the cleaning brush 76 rotates from the top of the heat exchanger shell to the bottom position, the rotating pipe 6 will synchronously drive the trigger rod 93 fixed on the pipe wall to move along the rotating track from the top to the bottom. The end of the trigger rod 93 is designed as a sharp end structure, and an arc-shaped trigger plate 95 is fixed at the corresponding bottom position on the inner side of the heat exchanger shell. The arc-shaped trigger plate 95 is provided with arc-shaped chamfers on both sides. When the trigger rod 93 rotates to the bottom, the sharp end will first contact the arc-shaped chamfer. With the continuous rotation of the rotating pipe 6, the sharp end generates a downward pressure on the arc-shaped chamfer, pushing the arc-shaped trigger plate 95 to move downward along the vertical direction and compressing the elastic expansion rod 94. The bottom of the arc-shaped trigger plate 95 is fixed with a rubber trigger head 96. When it moves downward to a certain stroke, the rubber trigger head 96 will contact and press the trigger switch 97 button installed on the inner wall of the hollow fixed disc 91. After the trigger switch 97 is activated, it immediately sends an electrical signal to the PLC controller 11. After the PLC controller 11 receives the signal, it immediately controls the second electric push rod 72 to increase the extension amount, so that the hollow cleaning plate 74 drives the cleaning brush 76 to further approach the bottom inner wall of the heat exchanger shell, increasing the contact pressure between the cleaning brush 76 and the bottom inner wall of the heat exchanger shell, thereby improving the wiping intensity of the brush on the bottom inner wall of the heat exchanger shell. At the same time, the PLC controller 11 synchronously increases the output power of the pump body in the medicine tank 81, improves the delivery pressure of the cleaning agent, and enhances the flow rate and impact force of the agent sprayed by the high-pressure nozzle 77 on the hollow cleaning plate 74, thereby improving the washing intensity on the bottom inner wall. The reason is that the bottom inner wall of the heat exchanger shell is affected by gravity, and the dirt (such as scale, sludge, and corrosion products) in the fluid is prone to depositing on the bottom inner wall. In long-term operation, the dirt will be closely attached to the bottom inner wall, forming a more stubborn scale layer than other areas. Through the linkage mechanism of the trigger rod 93 and the arc-shaped trigger plate 95, the automatic improvement of the cleaning intensity of the bottom of the heat exchanger shell is realized, which can ensure that the stubborn dirt on the bottom is effectively stripped and avoid the residual dirt on the bottom due to insufficient cleaning intensity, thereby ensuring the cleaning quality of each area of the inner wall of the heat exchanger shell and meeting the equipment cleanliness requirements.
