DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following further describes specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the descriptions of these embodiments are intended to aid understanding of the present invention and do not constitute limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with one another as long as they do not conflict with one another.

[0024] Example

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, an exhaust gas cooler includes a cylinder 1, the upper end of which is sealed with a head, and the lower end of which is sealed with a bottom plate, forming a relatively closed space within the cylinder 1. An upper tube sheet 2 and a lower tube sheet 3 are provided within the cylinder 1. These upper and lower tube sheets 2 and 3 separate the interior of the cylinder 1 from top to bottom into a first space S1, a second space S2, and a third space S3. Due to the constraints of the upper and lower tube sheets 2 and 3, the first space S1 and the second space S2, and the second space S2 and the third space S3, are not connected. The second space S2 is the reaction area and has the largest volume, occupying 70% to 80% of the total interior space of the cylinder 1.

[0026] A partition 4 is installed within the cylinder 1, dividing the third space S3 into a first chamber S31 and a second chamber S32. A water inlet pipe 6 is installed on the cylinder 1 and communicates with the first chamber S31, while a water outlet pipe 7 is installed on the cylinder 1 and communicates with the second chamber S32. Several heat exchange tubes 5 are installed within the second space S2. The upper ends of these heat exchange tubes 5 are fixed to the upper tube sheet 2 and communicate with the first space S1, while the lower ends of these tubes 5 are fixed to the lower tube sheet 3 and communicate with the third space S3, forming a connecting channel between the first space S1 and the third space S3. The heat exchange tubes 5 are welded to the upper and lower tube sheets 2 and 3 in a sealed manner, preventing liquid from leaking from the joints between the heat exchange tubes 5, the upper and lower tube sheets 2 and 3.

[0027] In this embodiment, the heat exchange tubes 5 are vertically arranged in the second space, and three adjacent heat exchange tubes are distributed in an isosceles triangle.

[0028] In this embodiment, the heat exchange tubes 5 are separated into two groups of heat exchange tubes 51 and 52 by a partition 4. One group of heat exchange tubes 51 communicates with the first chamber S31, while the other group of heat exchange tubes 52 communicates with the second chamber S32. During operation, the water inlet pipe 6 is connected to an external coolant device. Coolant enters the first chamber S31 through the water inlet pipe 6 and flows upward along the heat exchange tubes 51 into the first space S1. From the first space S1, it flows along the other group of heat exchange tubes 52 into the second chamber S32 and is discharged from the water outlet pipe 7. During this process, all heat exchange tubes 5 in the second space S2 come into contact with the coolant, reducing the temperature of the heat exchange tubes 5.

[0029] The cylinder 1 is provided with an exhaust gas outlet 8 and an exhaust gas inlet 9. The exhaust gas inlet 9 is located at the lower end of the second space S2 and is in communication with the second space S2. The exhaust gas outlet 8 is located at the upper end of the second space S2 and is in communication with the second space S2. Exhaust gas generated by the electrolysis of hot brine to produce sodium chlorate flows into the second space S2 through the exhaust gas inlet 9 and toward the exhaust gas outlet 8. During this process, it comes into contact with the heat exchange tube 5. Due to the coolant contained in the heat exchange tube 5, the pollutants and water vapor in the exhaust gas are cooled into distilled water, which then flows along the heat exchange tube 5 to the bottom of the second space S2.

[0030] In this embodiment, a first discharge port 10 is provided on the cylinder body. The first discharge port 10 is communicated with the bottom of the second space S32 and can discharge the liquid accumulated in the second space.

[0031] In this embodiment, to ensure sufficient contact between the exhaust gas and the heat exchange tubes 5, several flow-blocking components are staggered and distributed within the second space S32. These flow-blocking components include a baffle 11, one end of which is fixed to the cylinder 1. The baffle 11 blocks the upward flow of the exhaust gas, reducing its upward flow velocity and ensuring sufficient contact with the heat exchange tubes 5. To ensure the stability of the installation of the baffle 11, a tie rod 12 is provided on the upper or lower tube sheet. One end of the tie rod 12 is locked to the baffle 11 and secured with a nut, providing support for the baffle.

[0032] In this embodiment, the exhaust gas contains salt. To enhance the durability of the exhaust cooler, a titanium alloy coating is sprayed on the heat exchange tubes, baffles, inner wall of the cylinder, upper tube sheet, and lower tube sheet within the second space S32 to improve the exhaust cooler's corrosion resistance. Of course, the upper tube sheet, lower tube sheet, and heat exchange tubes in this embodiment can also be made directly from titanium alloy. When the titanium alloy coating is sprayed on the heat exchange tubes, copper or aluminum is used to ensure their thermal conductivity.

[0033] In this embodiment, at least three legs 13 are provided at the bottom of the cylinder. The legs are evenly distributed on the cylinder so that the exhaust gas cooler can be placed directly on the ground.

[0034] In this embodiment, a drain pipe 14 is provided at the bottom of the cylinder body, communicating with the first and second chambers. A flange is provided at the end of the drain pipe 14, which can be sealed by a flange. When the coolant in the exhaust gas cooler needs to be drained, the drain pipe 14 can be opened.

[0035] In this embodiment, a second discharge port 15 is provided on the top of the cylinder, which is connected to the first space. When the pressure inside the cylinder is too high due to excessive flow rate or amount of coolant, the second discharge port 15 can be opened to relieve the pressure.

[0036] Each pipe or outlet in this application document adopts a flange to enable it to be connected to external equipment in a standardized manner. It is not necessary to use a sealing plate to lock it on the flange to seal it.

[0037] This application utilizes two sets of direct current heat pipes to connect the coolant inlet and outlet pipes. This simple structure allows for efficient heat exchange, enabling rapid cooling and timely separation of electrolytic waste gas, thus resolving potential safety concerns. Furthermore, the improved material of the heat pipes provides excellent corrosion resistance, thereby extending the service life of the exhaust cooler.

[0038] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. It is apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to these embodiments may be made without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and these changes and modifications still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
