Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of waste heat recovery technology, specifically a plate heat exchanger for waste heat recovery from distillation columns. Background Technology
[0002] Plate heat exchangers for waste heat recovery in distillation columns are devices that achieve efficient heat exchange through corrugated metal plates. They are specifically designed to recover waste heat from distillation processes and convert it into usable thermal energy. A search reveals Chinese Patent Publication No. CN215984125U, which discloses a plate heat exchanger for a waste heat recovery device, including a rear tube sheet. This plate heat exchanger, through the interaction of a fixed slot, telescopic groove, easy-removal block, pull block, limit block, spring, and first insert block, allows for convenient installation and fixation of the entire assembly consisting of the rear tube sheet, front plate, and heat exchange plates. This method is more economical than direct bolt installation. While time-saving, labor-saving, easy to disassemble, highly stable, and easy to maintain, the existing technical solutions mentioned above have the following drawbacks: They lack a filtration structure, making it impossible to effectively filter the waste heat medium entering the plate heat exchanger. The accumulation of impurities carried by the waste heat medium can cause blockage inside the plate heat exchanger, affecting its heat exchange efficiency and hindering its use. Furthermore, the heat exchanger is exposed to air for extended periods without a protective structure, leading to dust accumulation and susceptibility to impacts from external factors, further impacting its operation. Therefore, a plate heat exchanger for waste heat recovery in distillation columns is proposed to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a plate heat exchanger for waste heat recovery in distillation columns, which has the following advantages:
[0018] 1. This plate heat exchanger for waste heat recovery in distillation columns features a filtration mechanism located at the inlet of the water pipe. Before the fluid flows from the water pipe into the heat exchanger, it passes through a filter box containing a filter element. As the fluid flows through the filter element, impurities and particles are intercepted, ensuring the cleanliness of the fluid entering the heat exchanger and preventing impurities from clogging the flow channels of the heat exchange plates, thus affecting heat exchange efficiency and normal equipment operation. To prevent clogging after prolonged use, the filter element can be disassembled for cleaning. Pressing down the pressure block causes the push rod to move the trapezoidal block downwards, pushing two wedge blocks to the sides. The wedge blocks, through the connecting rod, move the moving plate to the sides, releasing the limiting block from the outer cylinder, thereby allowing the sealing plate and filter element to be disassembled for easy cleaning, achieving the purpose of the filtration structure.
[0019] 2. This plate heat exchanger for waste heat recovery in distillation columns features an installation mechanism and a protective mechanism. The installation mechanism consists of a base box, a limiting frame, a U-shaped plate, a moving cylinder, a return spring, and a pull rod. The return spring provides elasticity to the moving cylinder. When the triangular block of the protective mechanism is inserted into the base box, it pushes the moving cylinder to move, compressing the return spring. When the protective mechanism needs to be disassembled, the pull rod is pulled, causing the moving cylinder to move and the triangular block to lose its support, allowing the protective mechanism to be removed for easy maintenance and repair of the heat exchanger. The protective cover protects the heat exchanger components from external impacts, dust, etc., preventing damage. The right-angle plate and triangular block, in conjunction with the installation mechanism, enable quick installation and removal of the protective cover, achieving the purpose of the protective structure.

[0040] During use, inspect all components of the plate heat exchanger for damage, including the base plate 1, fixing assembly 2, heat exchanger assembly 3, mounting assembly 4, filter mechanism 5, mounting mechanism 6, and protective mechanism 7. Clean the installation site to ensure the installation position is flat, stable, and has sufficient space for operation and maintenance. Place the first clamping plate 31 and the second clamping plate 32 on the right and left mounting brackets 25 respectively, ensuring that the groove of the mounting bracket 25 fits well with the bottom of the clamping plate. Install the heat exchange fins 33 between the first clamping plate 31 and the second clamping plate 32, determining the number and arrangement of the heat exchange fins 33 according to design requirements.

Pushing the two wedge blocks 514 to move to both sides, the wedge blocks 514 drive the moving plate 510 to move to both sides via the connecting rod 513. After being released, the limiting block 512 is locked into the rectangular slot of the outer cylinder 501, thereby fixing the sealing plate 504 and the filter element 505. The protective cover 71 is placed on the base plate 1, and the triangular block 73 at one end of the right angle plate 72 is inserted into the bottom box 61. The moving cylinder 64 is pushed to move.

Before operation, check whether all connections are firm and whether there is any leakage. Check whether the filter element 505 of the filter mechanism 5 is installed correctly, whether the filter box 502 is sealed well, and whether the protective mechanism 7 is installed. To ensure stability and protective function, the fluid containing residual heat is connected to water pipe 34, while the cold fluid requiring heating is connected to another water pipe 34 of the heat exchanger. The fluid transport equipment is started to circulate the fluid within the heat exchanger for heat exchange. The operating parameters of the heat exchanger, such as inlet and outlet temperatures and pressures, are monitored to ensure normal operation of the equipment.

The heat exchange plates 33 of the heat exchanger assembly 3 are checked regularly. If there is dirt accumulation, they are cleaned or replaced. The integrity of components such as the fixing assembly 2, mounting assembly 4, mounting mechanism 6, and protective mechanism 7 is checked. If any damage is found, it is repaired or replaced in a timely manner.
[0041] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0042] In summary, this plate heat exchanger for waste heat recovery in a distillation column, by incorporating a filtration mechanism 5 located at the inlet end of the water pipe 34, ensures that the fluid flowing from the water pipe 34 into the heat exchanger first passes through a filter box 502. A filter element 505 is installed inside the filter box 502. As the fluid flows through the filter element 505, impurities and particles are intercepted, ensuring the cleanliness of the fluid entering the heat exchanger and preventing impurities from clogging the flow channels of the heat exchange plates 33, thus affecting heat exchange efficiency and normal equipment operation. To prevent clogging during long-term use, the filter element 505 can be... 05. Disassembly and cleaning: Press down the pressure block 509, and the push rod 508 drives the trapezoidal block 515 downward, pushing the two wedge blocks 514 to move to both sides. The wedge blocks 514 drive the moving plate 510 to move to both sides through the connecting rod 513, so that the limiting block 512 is released from the fixation between it and the outer cylinder 501, thereby disassembling the sealing plate 504 and the filter element 505 for easy cleaning. This achieves the purpose of having a filter structure. By setting the installation mechanism 6 and the protective mechanism 7, the base box 61, the limiting frame 62, the U-shaped plate 63, the moving cylinder 64, the return spring 65, and the pull... Rod 66 forms the installation mechanism. Return spring 65 provides elasticity to the moving cylinder 64. When the triangular block 73 of the protective mechanism 7 is inserted into the base box 61, it pushes the moving cylinder 64 to move, compressing the return spring 65. When the protective mechanism 7 needs to be disassembled, pull rod 66, causing the moving cylinder 64 to move and the triangular block 73 to lose its support, thus allowing the protective mechanism 7 to be removed for easy maintenance and repair of the heat exchanger. The protective cover 71 protects the heat exchanger assembly 3 from external impacts, dust, etc., preventing damage. Right-angle plate 72 and triangular... Block 73 cooperates with the installation mechanism 6 to achieve quick installation and removal of the protective cover 71, thus realizing the purpose of having a protective structure. This solves the problem that without a filter structure, the waste heat medium entering the plate heat exchanger cannot be effectively filtered. The accumulation of impurities carried by the waste heat medium entering the heat exchanger will cause blockage inside the plate heat exchanger, thereby affecting the heat exchange efficiency and making it unsuitable for use. In addition, the heat exchanger is exposed to the air for a long time without a protective structure. Over time, dust will accumulate, and it is also easily impacted by external factors, affecting the use of the heat exchanger.
