[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a ceramic counterflow plate heat exchanger 100, including a heat exchange shell 110, in which multiple layers of heat exchange plates 120 are arranged from top to bottom, and a flow channel 001 is formed between two adjacent layers of heat exchange plates, and the flow channels 001 are not connected to each other. The multiple flow channels 001 formed from top to bottom by the multiple layers of heat exchange plates 120 are divided into a first medium flow channel 002 for the circulation of the first medium and a second medium flow channel 003 for the circulation of the second medium.

[0034] The types of the first medium and the second medium are not limited, for example, the first medium may be a high-temperature medium, and the second medium may be a low-temperature medium, and the ceramic counterflow plate heat exchanger 100 is used to realize heat exchange between the first medium and the second medium. In the heat exchange space inside the heat exchange housing 110, the heat exchange plate 120 extends from one end to the other end opposite thereto, so that the first medium and the second medium are mixed with each other in the heat exchange space and flow independently of each other.

[0035] In some embodiments, to improve the heat exchange effect, the first medium flow channels 002 and the second medium flow channels 003 are alternately arranged, the flow channels 001 adjacent to the first medium flow channels 002 are all second medium flow channels 003, and the flow channels 001 adjacent to the second medium flow channels 003 are all first medium flow channels 002.

[0036] Specifically, flow channels 001 are numbered from top to bottom as 1, 2, 3, 4 to 2n, 2n+1, 2n+2 (specially noted that the flow channel numbering is only for the convenience of description), and even-numbered flow channels are in Figure 1 The right side of the flow channel converges as the inlet of medium A, and the left side of the flow channel converges as the outlet of medium A.

On the side wall near the first end face 004, the first medium flow channel 002 is blocked by the second feed plugging member 151, and the second medium entering from the second feed port 152 enters the heat exchanger only through the second medium flow channel 003; on the side wall near the second end face 005, the first medium flow channel 002 is blocked by the second discharge plugging member 161, and only the second medium flow channel 003 can be discharged from the second discharge structure 160, and the second aggregate discharge port is outputted in aggregate.

Figure 1 The arrow extending from the second feed structure 150 to the second discharge structure 160 in FIG. 1 represents the flow direction of the second medium.

[0047] Furthermore, the second feed structure 150 further includes a second feed channel 153, a second feed port 152 is located at the inlet end of the second feed channel 153, and the outlet end of the second feed channel 153 is connected to the inlet of the second medium flow channel 003. The second medium is introduced from the second feed port 152 through an external pipeline, and then enters the heat exchanger from the second medium flow channel 003 after passing through the second feed channel 153.

[0048] Similarly, the second discharge structure 160 also includes a second discharge channel (not shown), which is connected to the outlet of the second medium flow channel 003, and the second aggregate discharge port is located at the end of the second discharge channel. On the side wall close to the second end face 005, only a plurality of second medium flow channels 003 can discharge into the second discharge channel for aggregation, and are aggregated and output from the second aggregate discharge port to enter the next process.
