Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, in particular to a self-cleaning structure of a semi-volumetric heat exchanger. Background Art

[0002] A semi-volumetric heat exchanger is a heat exchange device that combines the heat storage capacity of a volumetric heat exchanger with the characteristics of rapid heat exchange. This type of heat exchanger is usually used in hot water supply systems, such as centralized hot water systems in hotels, hospitals, schools and other buildings. The working principle of a semi-volumetric heat exchanger is based on the heat conduction technology of a shell and tube heat exchanger, involving heat transfer between two fluids of different temperatures. In a semi-volumetric heat exchanger, high-temperature fluid and low-temperature fluid enter the heat exchanger through different inlets respectively. They flow in the shell and tube and exchange heat through the heat transfer medium on the inner wall of the shell and tube. The temperature of the high-temperature fluid decreases after releasing heat, while the temperature of the low-temperature fluid increases after absorbing heat, thereby completing the heat exchange process.

[0003] As disclosed in Chinese patent announcement number (CN217844831 U), a semi-volumetric heat exchanger includes a water tank body, a heat exchange mechanism, a flow guide and stirring mechanism, a water inlet, a water outlet, a pressure relief safety valve, a sewage outlet, a bracket and a thermometer. The heat exchange mechanism is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water tank body, the flow guide and stirring mechanism is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the water tank body, and the flow guide and stirring mechanism includes a guide plate and a motor. The utility model is provided with a heat exchange mechanism and a flow guide and stirring mechanism, and the water temperature inside the water tank body is measured by a thermometer. When the water temperature inside the water tank body is too high, the motor is turned on, and the rotating rod drives the blades to rotate to stir the water inside the water tank body, thereby accelerating the flow rate of the water and giving full play to the heat exchange effect between the heat exchange tube and the water inside the water tank body, thereby greatly improving the heat transfer coefficient and the heat transfer efficiency.

[0004] However, as in the above patent, there is still a problem of poor self-cleaning effect on the heat exchange tubes inside the heat exchanger. In the above patent, a heat exchange mechanism and a flow diversion and stirring mechanism are provided, and heat exchange treatment is performed using heat exchange tubes. The inner wall of the heat exchange tube is in contact with the hot water for a long time, and dirt is deposited on the inner wall. If self-cleaning treatment is not performed, the tube wall will be thickened over a long period of time, affecting the heat exchange efficiency. Utility Model Content
