Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, and in particular to a filtering device for a plate heat exchanger. Background Art
[0002] Plate heat exchanger is a high-efficiency heat exchanger, which is mainly composed of a series of metal sheets with a certain corrugated shape. Plate heat exchangers are widely used in the fields of chemical industry, HVAC, air conditioning, heat recovery system, heating, petroleum industry, food industry, oil industry, pressure blocker of high-rise buildings, wastewater recovery and ice storage system. The hot and cold media are heat exchanged through the corrugated channels on the plates. Thin rectangular fluid channels will be formed between each heat exchange plate, and the hot and cold heat exchange media will enter these narrow and tortuous flow channels through the holes on the four corners of the plate. The corrugations on the plate will increase the rigidity of the plate and the turbulence of the fluid. The two media form a parallel flow or countercurrent between the plate barriers and exchange heat through the intermediate interlayer plate to achieve the purpose of use.
[0003] Since the flow channel between the plates is long and narrow and the plates are very thin, the fluid used for heat exchange will inevitably contain impurities such as rust, sand, and suspended matter. These impurities may enter the flow channel with the fluid and may scrape against the plates, causing plate wear. In addition, these impurities are easily deposited in the flow channel when passing through the long and narrow flow channel, causing the flow channel to be blocked. Utility Model Content

[0053] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the preferred embodiments of the present application. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar parts or parts with the same or similar functions.

Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0054] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a filtering device for a plate heat exchanger provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 is an exploded schematic diagram of an impurity filter in a filtering device for a plate heat exchanger provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 It is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of an impurity filter in a filtering device for a plate heat exchanger provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0055] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a filtering device for a plate heat exchanger, comprising two impurity filters 10 and a water inlet pipe group 20, wherein:
[0056] The two impurity filters 10 are connected by a fixing assembly 50 and are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction.
[0057] The impurity filter 10 includes a cylinder 11, a filter screen 12 and a cylinder cover 13. The cylinder 11 is arranged vertically, and the top of the cylinder 11 has an opening, which can be used for installing and repairing the filter screen 12. The bottom of the cylinder 11 has a water inlet interface 111, and the side wall of the cylinder 11 has a water outlet interface 112, and the water outlet interface 112 is located above the water inlet interface 111.
[0058] The filter screen 12 is disposed inside the cylinder 11 , and the filter screen 12 is located between the water inlet interface 111 and the water outlet interface 112 . The cylinder cover 13 is disposed at the opening at the top of the cylinder 11 , and is used to close the opening of the cylinder 11 .
[0059] The water inlet pipe assembly 20 includes a water inlet main pipe 21 and two water inlet branch pipes 22. One end of the two water inlet branch pipes 22 is connected to the water inlet main pipe 21, and the water inlet main pipe 21 is connected to a water source. The other ends of the two water inlet branch pipes 22 are respectively connected to the water inlet interfaces 111 on the two impurity filters 10, and a water inlet valve 23 is installed on the water inlet branch pipes 22.
[0060] When in use, the filter device is installed between the water source and the water inlet of the plate filter. The fluid enters the impurity filter 10 through the water inlet pipe assembly 20, and then passes through the filter screen 12 to filter out impurities such as rust, silt, and suspended matter, and then flows into the plate filter through the water outlet interface 112, so that these impurities can be prevented from entering the plate filter, and the plate of the plate filter can be prevented from being worn and the flow channel blocked.
[0061] The two impurity filters 10 can filter the fluid at the same time, or only one of the impurity filters 10 can be used to filter the fluid. Generally speaking, only one of the impurity filters 10 is used, and the other filter is in a standby state, at which time one of the water inlet valves 23 on the two water inlet branches 22 is opened and the other is closed.
[0062] This is because the impurities filtered by the filter 12 will be trapped in the impurity filter 10 and may be attached to the filter 12. When these impurities attached to the filter 12 accumulate to a certain extent, the filter 12 will be blocked, thereby affecting the flow velocity of the fluid and reducing the filtering efficiency. At this time, it is necessary to clean the filter 12 or restore the filtering efficiency of the impurity filter 10 by using a better filter 12.
[0063] Therefore, when the impurities in the impurity filter 10 accumulate to a certain extent and cause the filtration efficiency to decrease, the water inlet valve 23 on the water inlet branch pipe 22 connected to this impurity filter 10 can be closed. At the same time, the water inlet valve 23 on the water inlet branch pipe 22 connected to another impurity filter 10 is opened, and the fluid is filtered by another impurity filter 10. In this way, the filtration efficiency can be continuously guaranteed, and the plate heat exchanger can continue to operate normally without stopping. When another impurity filter 10 is working, the previously used impurity filter 10 can be inspected and repaired, and the filter screen 12 of the impurity filter 10 can be cleaned or replaced. The two impurity filters 10 perform the filtration work alternately. Similarly, when the impurity filter 10 fails and needs to be stopped, another impurity filter 10 can be used to replace it in time.
[0064] Specifically, the fixing assembly 50 includes a plurality of layer plates 51 , and adjacent layer plates 51 are connected by columns 52 . The layer plates 51 are provided with two mounting openings, and the two impurity filters 10 are respectively mounted in the two mounting openings.
[0065] See also Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the filter screen 12 includes a vertical screen 121 and a bottom screen 122, the vertical screen 121 is in a vertical cylindrical shape, and the bottom screen 122 is arranged at the bottom end of the vertical screen 121. An upper ring plate 123 is arranged at the top outer edge of the vertical screen 121, and a lower ring plate 124 is arranged at the bottom outer edge of the vertical screen 121. The outer wall of the upper ring plate 123 is in contact with the inner wall of the cylinder 11, and the outer wall of the lower ring plate 124 is in contact with the inner wall of the cylinder 11. The lower ring plate 124 is provided with a plurality of through holes 124a, and the plurality of through holes 124a on the lower ring plate 124 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the lower ring plate 124. Designing the filter screen 12 into a three-dimensional shape similar to a cylinder can increase the area of the filtering surface. In the process of fluid flowing from bottom to top, part of the fluid is filtered by the bottom screen 122, and the other part of the fluid flows from the through holes 124a between the vertical screen 121 and the inner wall of the cylinder 11 and is filtered by the vertical screen 121.
[0066] See also Figure 1As shown, specifically, it also includes a water outlet pipe group 30, which includes a water outlet main pipe 31 and two water outlet branch pipes 32. One end of the two water outlet branch pipes 32 is connected to the water outlet pipe, and the other end of the two water outlet branch pipes 32 is respectively connected to the water outlet interface 112 on the two impurity filters 10, and a water outlet valve 33 is installed on the water outlet branch pipe 32. A flow monitoring device (not shown in the drawings) is provided on the water outlet main pipe 31.
[0067] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, an ultrasonic cleaning device 40 is installed on the cylinder cover 13, and the ultrasonic cleaning device 40 includes an ultrasonic generator 41, a vibration head 42 and a connecting pipe 43. The vibration head 42 is located in the vertical net 121 of the cylinder body 11, and the vibration head 42 is connected to the bottom end of the cylinder cover 13 through the connecting pipe 43. The ultrasonic generator 41 is arranged at the top of the cylinder cover 13, and the ultrasonic generator 41 is connected to the vibration head 42 through a wire arranged in the connecting pipe 43. A sewage outlet 113 is arranged at the bottom end of the cylinder body 11, and a sewage valve 114 is arranged on the sewage outlet 113.
[0068] The flow rate monitoring device provided on the water outlet main pipe 31 can monitor the flow rate of the filtered fluid in real time. When the flow rate drops to a certain level, it can be preliminarily determined that the filter screen 12 of the impurity filter 10 needs to be cleaned or replaced. At this time, the water outlet valve 33 and the water inlet valve 23 on the pipeline connected to the impurity filter 10 are closed, and the ultrasonic cleaning device 40 is started. The vibration head 42 of the ultrasonic cleaning device 40 will continue to vibrate, thereby shaking off the impurities attached to the filter screen 12. After the filter screen 12 is cleaned again, the sewage valve 114 is opened to discharge the impurities along with the fluid from the sewage outlet 113.
[0069] In order to facilitate the above operations, the water inlet valve 23, the water outlet valve 33 and the sewage valve 114 can all use solenoid valves and be connected to the same network with the flow monitor. In this way, automatic switching of the impurity filter 10 and automatic cleaning can be achieved by automatically controlling these solenoid valves located on different pipelines.
