[0002] Generally, for high-pressure, low-flow heating occasions, if the traditional circulation electric heater structure is still used, due to the low flow rate, slow flow rate and small heat transfer coefficient, in order to avoid overheating of the electric heating tube, the load has to be reduced. This results in a large equipment size and high cost. Therefore, high-pressure, low-flow heating occasions expose the defects of the use of traditional circulation heaters. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an electric heater with porous sintering, comprising:

[0005] Pressure vessel pipes;

[0006] The electric heating tube is axially arranged in the pressure vessel tube; it comprises an electric heating outer tube, magnesium oxide powder, an electric heating wire and a lead rod; the electric heating wire in a spiral structure is axially inserted in the electric heating outer tube, the lead rods are arranged at both ends of the electric heating wire, and the gap between the electric heating outer tube and the electric heating wire and the lead rod is filled with the magnesium oxide powder;

[0007] The porous medium is metal metallurgical powder or metal ball particles, and is filled between the electric heating tube and the pressure container tube.

[0010] Preferably, the porous medium is filled in a certain proportion according to a certain mesh size to improve the heat transfer performance of the porous medium.

[0011] Preferably, the electric heating tube, the porous medium and the pressure vessel tube are in close contact to ensure a heat transfer channel between the electric heating tube and the porous medium.

[0012] Preferably, the heating wire adopts an equal load design, that is, the power density of the heating wire is high at the fluid inlet end, and the power density of the heating wire is low at the fluid outlet end.

[0013] Preferably, a temperature sensor is further included, and the electric heating tube is in close contact with the temperature sensor.

[0014] Preferably, the temperature sensor is closely attached to the outer electric heating tube or inserted into the center of the magnesium oxide powder to ensure the accuracy of the temperature sensor in measuring the temperature of the electric heating tube and to accurately alarm.

[0015] Preferably, the outer wall of the electric heating outer tube is coated with a high-temperature resistant high-radiation coefficient coating to reduce the temperature of the outer wall of the electric heating outer tube.

[0020] 3. If the electric heating tube designed by the utility model is used in heating occasions of the heated fluid with heat radiation absorption, the outer shell of the electric heating tube will be coated with a high-temperature resistant high-radiation coefficient coating, which can reduce the temperature of the outer shell of the electric heating tube.

[0028] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. According to the following description, the advantages and features of the utility model will become clearer. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and are not in precise proportions, and are only used to conveniently and clearly assist in explaining the purpose of the embodiments of the utility model.

[0029] Embodiment 1:

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides an electric heater with porous sintering, including: a pressure vessel tube 1; an electric heating tube 2, which is axially arranged in the pressure vessel tube 1; including an electric heating outer tube 21, magnesium oxide powder 22, an electric heating wire 23 and a lead rod 24; the electric heating outer tube 21 is axially inserted with a spiral-structured electric heating wire 23, and lead rods 24 are provided at both ends of the electric heating wire 23, and the gap between the electric heating outer tube 21 and the electric heating wire 23 and the lead rod 24 is filled with magnesium oxide powder 22; a porous medium 3, which is metal metallurgical powder or metal ball particles; is filled between the electric heating tube 2 and the pressure vessel tube 1. Due to the use of the porous medium 3 for heating, the equivalent diameter of the medium circulation is very small, the heat transfer coefficient is very high, the surface temperature of the electric heating tube 2 is further reduced, and the service life of the equipment is extended.

[0031] The heated fluid flows between the porous media 3, and the energy of the electric heating tube 2 is transferred through the heat conduction between the porous media 3, and on the other hand, part of the energy is radiated to the heated fluid through the heating of the electric heating tube 2. In addition, the fluid flows through the porous media 3, so the fluid has a certain pressure drop, which is particularly suitable for heating occasions with high fluid pressure and low flow rate.

[0032] The entire electric heater is heavy, has a large heat capacity during the heating process, and has strong resistance to temperature shock. At the same time, the equivalent diameter of the fluid flowing through the porous medium 3 is very small, and the heat transfer coefficient between the fluid and the porous medium 3 is very high. It is particularly suitable for long-term use of fluid heating at a temperature of about 1000°C.

[0033] On the basis of meeting a certain pressure drop requirement, the porous medium 3 is filled in a certain proportion according to a certain mesh number to improve the heat transfer performance of the porous medium 3 .

[0034] A temperature sensor is also included, and the electric heating tube 2 is in close contact with the temperature sensor.

[0035] The temperature sensor is closely attached to the outer electric heating tube 21 or inserted into the center of the magnesium oxide powder 22 to ensure the accuracy of the temperature sensor in measuring the temperature of the electric heating tube 2 and to accurately alarm.

[0036] The end of the electric heating tube 2 is connected to the lead rod 24 by a two-phase or three-phase power connector, and the junction box of the two-phase or three-phase power connector is designed with an explosion-proof structure.

[0037] Embodiment 2:

[0038] like Figure 1-5 As shown, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment 1, the electric heating tube 2, the porous medium 3 and the pressure vessel tube 1 are in close contact to ensure the heat transfer channel between the electric heating tube 2 and the porous medium 3, which is used to ensure the heat transfer channel between the electric heating tube 2 and the porous medium 3; after the filled porous medium 3 is vibrated and filled, the entire heater is sintered at a high temperature of 1050°C to improve the heat transfer channel of the porous medium 3.

[0039] Embodiment 3:

[0040] like Figure 1-5 As shown, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment 2, if the heated fluid of the electric heating outer tube 21 has the characteristic of absorbing radiation energy, the electric heating outer tube 21 can be coated with a high-temperature resistant high-emissivity coating to reduce the temperature of the electric heating outer tube 21.

[0041] The heating wire 23 inside the electric heating tube 2 can be designed for equal load as needed, that is, the power density of the electric heating tube 2 can be higher at the inlet due to the low fluid temperature, and conversely, at the outlet, the power density of the electric heating tube 2 can be lower.

[0042] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not any limitation on the scope of the utility model. Any changes and modifications made by ordinary technicians in the field of the utility model based on the above disclosure shall fall within the scope of protection of the claims.
