Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, in particular to a floating head type heat exchanger with an expansion joint. Background Art

[0002] In the floating head heat exchanger, only one end of the tube sheet at both ends is fixed to the shell, and the other end can move freely relative to the shell, which is called a floating head. The floating head consists of a floating tube sheet, a hook ring and a floating head end cover. It is a detachable connection, and the tube bundle can be pulled out of the shell. The thermal deformation of the tube bundle and the shell is not constrained, so no thermal stress will be generated. Its advantage is that it is easy to clean between and inside the tubes, and no thermal stress will be generated; but its structure is complex, the cost is higher than that of the fixed tube sheet heat exchanger, the equipment is bulky, the material consumption is large, and the small cover at the floating head end cannot be checked during operation. The sealing requirements are high during manufacturing. It is suitable for occasions where the wall temperature difference between the shell and the tube bundle is large or the shell side medium is prone to scaling.

[0003] When the existing heat exchanger is in use, the pipes in the heat exchanger will expand due to the different temperatures, which will cause the pipes and the pipe connecting plates to be easily damaged, thereby affecting the stability of the heat exchanger during use and causing trouble to the staff. Moreover, when the inside of the heat exchanger needs to be repaired, it is inconvenient to disassemble it. Therefore, a floating head heat exchanger with an expansion joint is needed.
