Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, in particular to a flushing structure for an alcohol hydrocarbonation heat exchanger. Background Art

[0002] A company has two alcohol hydrocarbonation heat exchangers, one for operation and one for standby. When the temperature is high in summer, the two heat exchangers need to run simultaneously to exchange heat and cool H2 and N2. The working pressure of the pipe side of the alcohol hydrocarbonation heat exchanger is 13.5Mpa, the working temperature is 120℃, and the working pressure of the shell side is 0.4MPa, the working temperature is 30-40℃. After running for a period of time, a large amount of scale will form on the outer wall of the heat exchange tube of the alcohol hydrocarbonation heat exchanger, resulting in poor heat exchange effect and unable to guarantee its process indicators. Therefore, the alcohol hydrocarbonation heat exchanger needs to be flushed regularly to remove the scale on the outer wall of the heat exchange tube. The traditional method of flushing the alcohol hydrocarbonation heat exchanger is to extract the heat exchange tube and then flush it. The flushing workload is large, the labor intensity of the operators is high, and the flushing efficiency is low. Summary of the invention

Start the cleaning pump so that the scale cleaning liquid fills the entire shell side, open the liquid outlet valve, and the scale cleaning liquid flows in the shell side along the flow direction of the cooling water, thereby effectively flushing the scale on the outer wall of the heat exchange tube.

[0007] Furthermore, the flushing pipe is arranged below the shell and one end of it is connected to the lower part of the shell, and one end of the discharge pipe is connected to the middle part of the shell in the axial direction. The structure is specific and standardized, easy to arrange and has high flushing efficiency.

[0008] Furthermore, there are multiple flushing pipes and one ends of the multiple flushing pipes are evenly connected to the lower part of the shell side, thereby improving the flushing efficiency.

[0009] Furthermore, there are two drainage pipes, and one end of the two drainage pipes is respectively connected to the left end and the right end in the axial direction of the shell side. Providing more drainage pipes can effectively improve the flushing efficiency, which is suitable for large heat exchange tubes.

[0010] Furthermore, there are four drainage pipes and one end of the four drainage pipes is respectively connected to the upper left end, lower left end, upper right end and lower right end in the axial direction of the shell side. This structure is suitable for a heat exchanger with an axially arranged longitudinal partition plate in the middle of the shell side to effectively improve its flushing efficiency.

[0011] Furthermore, the other ends of the multiple flushing pipes are merged into a main flushing pipe. When in use, the main flushing pipe is connected to the liquid outlet of the cleaning pump, and the structure is concrete and rational.
