[0002] At present, in the oilfield produced water treatment system, 30℃-40℃ oily wastewater is directly injected into the ground, causing a large amount of heat loss. Using water source heat pump units to recover the waste heat of produced water for heating, such as heating and heating oil-containing process media, has high system efficiency and good economy, and its application prospects are promising.
[0003] At present, most water source heat pump units produced by heat pump manufacturers use conventional heat exchangers inside, such as plate exchangers, shell and tube heat exchangers, etc. Because the produced water contains a small amount of oil and other impurities, after entering the heat exchanger inside the heat pump unit, oil stains will form and deposit on the inner wall of the pipe. After about two months of operation, the pipes inside the heat exchanger will be blocked, seriously affecting the heat exchange effect and the efficiency of the water source heat pump. After long-term use, corrosion perforation and pipe leakage problems will also occur.
[0004] The current methods to solve this problem are: 1) regular manual cleaning, online heating or reverse flushing with chemicals to remove dirt. This method greatly increases maintenance costs and also affects normal production. 2) using water pumps and water replenishment devices to form an indirect heat exchange system. This method reduces system efficiency and increases costs. At the same time, the external heat exchanger also needs regular cleaning and maintenance. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an anti-blocking heat exchanger and water source heat pump unit for oil fields to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.
[0024] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments described herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present application thorough and complete, and to fully convey the concepts of these exemplary embodiments to those of ordinary skill in the art. In the accompanying drawings, for clarity, the thickness of the layers and regions is enlarged, and the same reference numerals are used to represent the same devices, so their description will be omitted.
[0025] See also Figures 1 to 7 The utility model provides an anti-blocking heat exchanger for oil fields, which can effectively prevent corrosion and blockage, and does not require cleaning and maintenance. The anti-blocking heat exchanger 11 for oil fields specifically includes a box body 8 and a heat transfer plate assembly 7. The heat transfer plate assembly 7 is encapsulated in the box body 8. The box body 8 is welded and assembled by steel plates. A flow channel for circulating oily sewage is formed between the box body 8 and the heat transfer plate assembly 7. An oily sewage inlet 13 and an oily sewage outlet 14 are respectively provided at both ends of the flow channel.
[0026] Specifically, the heat transfer plate assembly 7 includes a plurality of heat transfer plates 5 arranged in parallel and large headers 6 arranged at the four corners of the heat transfer plates 5; the heat transfer plates 5 include a tube riser 3 and a heat transfer plate core 4 pressed on both sides of the tube riser 3; the tube riser 3 includes a plurality of heat exchange tubes 1 arranged in parallel and small headers 2 vertically connected to both ends of the heat exchange tubes 1, the diameter of the large header 6 is larger than the diameter of the small header 2, and Freon refrigerant flows in the tube riser 3 and the large header 6.
[0027] The large header 6 below the oily wastewater outlet 14 is the refrigerant inlet 16 , and the large header 6 above the oily wastewater inlet 13 is the refrigerant outlet 17 ; the refrigerant inlet 16 is connected to the small header 2 , the heat exchange tube 1 and the refrigerant inlet 16 .
[0028] Preferably, the heat transfer plate core 4 is a titanium plate, and the multiple parallel heat exchange tubes 1 in the tube riser 3 are encapsulated between two titanium plates to form a raised structure. The surface of the heat transfer plate core 4 is polished, the surface is smooth and not easy to deposit dirt, and it is highly anti-corrosive. The heat transfer plate 5 has a regular and orderly raised structure, which can increase the disturbance capacity of the oily wastewater and form turbulence, which can not only enhance the heat exchange, but also can wash away the dirt on the surface of the heat transfer plate due to the disturbance, further reducing the deposition of dirt. The heat exchange tube 1 is not in direct contact with the oily wastewater, avoiding corrosion problems. At the same time, the heat exchange tube material can use pure aluminum tubes instead of titanium tubes, which greatly reduces the material cost. The large header 6 and the small header 2 are aluminum tubes, which reduces the cost.
[0029] A plurality of heat transfer plates 5 are arranged in order, and the small header 2 and the large header 6 are vertically welded and connected to form a heat transfer plate assembly 7. The heat transfer plates 5 are characterized in that the spacing is relatively large, which is 1 / 2 to 1 / 3 of the diameter of the oily sewage pipeline, forming a wide flow channel structure; the oily sewage flows through the wide flow channel and is not easily blocked for long-term use. The heat transfer plate assembly 7 is welded with steel plates and packaged into a box body 8, and the small header 2 and the large header 6 are exposed outside the box body 8 and do not contact the oily sewage, thereby avoiding problems such as corrosion and scaling.
[0030] The oily wastewater inlet 13 and the oily wastewater outlet 14 are centrally symmetrical bell mouths 15, and the opening of the bell mouth 15 is a square interface; the oily wastewater inlet 13 is located above the oily wastewater outlet 14. The oily wastewater inlet 13 and the oily wastewater outlet 14 have a height difference, and the wastewater enters at a high level and exits at a low level, giving full play to the heat exchange capacity of the heat transfer plate. The oily wastewater directly exchanges heat with the refrigerant / coolant through the oilfield anti-blocking heat exchanger 11, avoiding the problems of reduced indirect heat exchange efficiency and increased costs.
[0031] See also Figure 8 The anti-blocking heat exchanger for oil fields of the utility model embodiment, the large header and other components of the water source heat pump are connected through pipelines to form a water source heat pump unit.
[0032] Specifically, the water source heat pump unit includes a compressor 9, a condenser 10, an oilfield anti-blocking heat exchanger 11 and an expansion valve 12. Among them, the refrigerant inlet 16 of the oilfield anti-blocking heat exchanger 11 is connected to the expansion valve 12, the condenser 10 and the compressor 9 in sequence, and the compressor 9 is connected to the refrigerant outlet 17. The condenser 10 is connected to the heating circulation water circuit.
[0033] When the water source heat pump unit is working, the Freon refrigerant generates high-temperature and high-pressure gas under the action of the electric-driven steam compressor, releases heat in the condenser for heating, and then turns into low-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant, and then becomes low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant through the pressure reduction regulation of the expansion valve. At this time, it enters the anti-blocking heat exchanger through the large header to absorb the heat of the oily sewage. The refrigerant is converted into gas and then enters the compressor for compression. This cycle constitutes the heating system of the water source heat pump unit. The water source heat pump unit absorbs the waste heat of the oily sewage, and the heating capacity is far greater than that of the same power electric heating equipment. It is a high-efficiency and energy-saving new energy equipment. When using the water source heat pump unit to heat the oil-containing process medium, the anti-blocking heat exchanger can also be used as a condenser, and the usage method is the same.
