[0023] The vertical heat exchanger application system of this embodiment is as follows Figure 3As shown, when the system is in operation, the pipeline valve 2 14 of the cooling medium second circulating water is opened to allow the circulating water to continuously and stably flow into the second tube side, and the hot medium gas phase 1,2-propylene glycol continuously and stably enters the shell side. The flow path of the cooling medium second circulating water is: cooling medium second inlet 9 → cooling medium second feeding cavity → U-shaped heat exchange tube 2 → cooling medium second discharge cavity → cooling medium second outlet 10; the hot medium gas phase 1,2-propylene glycol enters from the bottom opening of the shell side box 2 and rises along the baffle 12, and the cooling medium second circulating water condenses the gas phase 1,2-propylene glycol in the shell side through the tube wall of the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2. After condensation, the liquid phase 1,2-propylene glycol falls back to the original system, and the uncondensed gas phase continues to rise through the tube wall of the U-shaped heat exchange tube 2 to continue to exchange heat with the cooling medium second circulating water in the tube side, and a trace amount of uncondensed gas phase goes to the subsequent tail gas absorption system through the hot medium outlet 11. When it is necessary to preheat the cooling medium-soft water, open the cooling medium-soft water pipeline valve 15 to allow the softened water to continuously and stably flow into the first pipe pass. After the operation is stable, close the cooling medium-circulating water pipeline valve 14. The flow path of the cooling medium-soft water is: cooling medium-inlet 7→cooling medium-feeding cavity→U-shaped heat exchange tube-1→cooling medium-discharge cavity→cooling medium-outlet 8; the flow path of the heat medium is gaseous 1,2-propylene glycol: the bottom opening of the shell-side box 2→baffle 12→heat medium outlet 11, and the liquid 1,2-propylene glycol falls back to the original system after condensation.
[0024] Among them, the inlet temperature of cooling medium 1 softened water is 32℃, and the outlet temperature is about 40℃ after heat exchange; the inlet temperature of cooling medium 2 circulating water is 32℃, and the outlet temperature is about 37℃ after heat exchange; the temperature of hot medium gas phase 1,2-propylene glycol is 180~195℃.
[0025] The vertical heat exchanger of this embodiment can preheat two different cooling media at the same time according to the heat exchange requirements.
[0026] The vertical heat exchanger of the utility model may also be provided with a lower head at the bottom of the shell side box 2, and the lower head is provided with a heat medium inlet, and the flow path of the heat medium is: heat medium inlet→baffle 12→heat medium outlet 11.
[0027] The utility model provides a vertical heat exchanger, which can switch to use different cooling media for preheating according to the heat exchange demand when condensing or cooling the heat medium, and can also preheat two different cooling media at the same time, and only needs to switch the valve in the pipeline, which is convenient to operate and avoids the pollution and waste of different cooling media caused by sharing the same pipe. It also reduces the increase of other condensing equipment, reduces the occupation of production space, and reduces the investment cost while ensuring the stable operation of the condensing system.
