Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, in particular to an anti-corrosion heat exchanger. Background Art
[0002] The shell and tube heat exchanger is the most widely used heat exchanger in chemical and alcohol production. It is mainly composed of shell, tube sheet, heat exchange tube, head, baffle, etc. The required materials can be made of ordinary carbon steel, copper or stainless steel. During heat exchange, one fluid enters from the connecting pipe of the head, flows in the tube, and flows out from the outlet pipe at the other end of the head. This is called the tube side; another fluid enters from the shell and the pipe, and flows out from another pipe on the shell. This is called the shell side.
[0003] When the existing shell-and-tube heat exchanger is in use, fluid flows inside and outside the tubes, and some acidic solutions are often exchanged inside the heat exchange tubes. Over time, corrosion will occur on both the inside and outside of the heat exchange tubes, thereby affecting the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger and reducing the service life of the heat exchanger. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a corrosion-resistant heat exchanger, which solves the problem that the prior art heat exchanger is easily corroded by the solution, thereby causing damage, affecting the heat exchange effect, and reducing the service life of the heat exchanger.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: an anti-corrosion heat exchanger, comprising a shell, tube sheets are fixedly installed at both ends of the shell, a plurality of heat exchange tubes are fixedly installed between the two tube sheets, an upper end of the shell is connected to an upper head, and a lower end of the shell is connected to a lower head, a first water inlet is opened at the top center position of the upper head, a first water outlet is opened at the bottom center position of the lower head, the first water inlet and the first water outlet are connected through a heat exchange tube, a second water inlet is opened on the side of the shell near the top, a second water outlet is opened on the side of the shell near the bottom, a first anti-corrosion layer is provided on the outer surface of the heat exchange tube, and a second anti-corrosion layer is provided on the inner surface of the heat exchange tube.
[0006] The fluid to be exchanged can enter the heat exchange tube through the first water inlet of the upper head, then flow to the first water outlet of the lower head through the heat exchange tube, and finally flow out from the first water outlet. The coolant can enter the shell from the second water inlet on the shell, and after entering the shell, it flows on the surface of the heat exchange tube, thereby exchanging heat with the heat exchange tube to cool the fluid inside the heat exchange tube. The heated coolant flows out from the second water outlet below. The first anti-corrosion layer can prevent the outer surface of the heat exchange tube from rusting, and the second anti-corrosion layer can prevent the inside of the heat exchange tube from being corroded by acidic solution.

By fixedly connecting the two ends of the heat exchange tube with the through holes of the tube sheets, the fluid to be heat exchanged can only enter the heat exchange tube but cannot enter the shell, thereby preventing the fluid to be heat exchanged from mixing with the coolant.
[0008] Preferably, a baffle is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the shell, a circular hole matching the heat exchange tube is opened on the surface of the baffle, and the baffle is sleeved on the outer side of the heat exchange tube. The baffle can force the coolant to cross-flow through the heat exchange tube multiple times along a specified path, thereby improving the cooling efficiency.
[0009] Preferably, support columns are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the bottom edge of the lower head, and the support columns enable the heat exchanger to be placed vertically on the ground.
[0010] Preferably, threads are provided on the inner sides of both ends of the shell, matching threads are provided on the outer sides of one end of the upper head away from the first water inlet and the outer sides of the lower head away from the first water outlet, and the shell is threadedly connected to the upper head and the lower head respectively. The threaded connection facilitates the subsequent disassembly of the heat exchanger.
[0011] Preferably, a sealing gasket is fixedly installed at the bottom of one end of the upper head and the lower head connected to the shell, and the sealing gasket can prevent the fluid to be cooled from leaking out.
[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the shell and the surface of the tube sheet facing the heat exchange tube are both provided with a first anti-corrosion layer, and the inner wall of the upper head and the inner wall of the lower head and the surface of the tube sheet away from the heat exchange tube are both provided with a second anti-corrosion layer. The first anti-corrosion layer can prevent the heat exchanger from rusting, and the second anti-corrosion layer can prevent the heat exchanger from being corroded by acidic solution.
[0013] Preferably, the first anti-corrosion layer is epoxy anti-rust paint, and the second anti-corrosion layer is polyurethane-phenolic paint.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0015] The utility model provides a first water inlet, a heat exchange tube and a first water outlet, so that the fluid to be heat exchanged enters the heat exchange tube from the first water inlet for heat exchange and then flows out from the first water outlet; a second water inlet and a second water outlet are provided on the shell, so that the coolant can enter the shell from the second water inlet to cool the heat exchange tube and then flow out from the second water outlet; epoxy anti-rust paint is applied to the inner wall of the shell, the surface of the tube sheet facing the heat exchange tube and the outer surface of the heat exchange tube to prevent the coolant from causing rust to the heat exchanger; polyurethane-phenolic paint is applied to the inner wall of the upper head, the inner wall of the lower head, the surface of the tube sheet away from the heat exchange tube and the inner surface of the heat exchange tube to improve the corrosion resistance of the heat exchanger and prevent the problem of the heat exchanger being corroded by acidic solution and affecting the use of the equipment.

The number of heat exchange tubes 3 is the same as the number of through holes 12 on one tube sheet 2, and both ends are fixedly installed in the through holes 12 of the two tube sheets 2 respectively.
[0023] A baffle plate 13 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the shell 1. A circular hole matching the heat exchange tube 3 is opened on the surface of the baffle plate 13. The baffle plate 13 is sleeved on the outer side of the heat exchange tube 3.
[0024] Support columns 14 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the bottom edge of the lower head 5;
[0025] Both ends of the shell 1 are provided with threads on the inner side, and the outer side of one end of the upper head 4 away from the first water inlet 6 and the outer side of the end of the lower head 5 away from the first water outlet 7 are provided with matching threads, and the shell 1 is threadedly connected with the upper head 4 and the lower head 5 respectively;

[0029] Working principle: When working, the fluid to be cooled is injected into the upper surface of the tube sheet 2 from the first water inlet 6 of the upper head 4, and then flows into the heat exchange tube 3 from the through hole 12 on the tube sheet 2. At the same time, the coolant is injected into the shell 1 through the second water inlet 8 of the shell 1. The coolant flows on the baffle 13.
