Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of heat exchangers, and in particular relates to a plug-in grid heat exchanger. Background Art
[0002] The grid heat exchanger is a type of shell-and-tube heat exchanger. Its main feature is that the component supporting the heat exchange tube is the grid. This grid support has low resistance to the medium but still has sufficient strength to support the heat exchange tube.
[0003] The baffles of ordinary shell-and-tube heat exchangers can not only support the heat exchange tubes, but also improve the heat transfer coefficient of the medium on the shell side by adjusting the spacing and the size of the gaps of the baffles. However, the resistance of the baffles to the shell side medium is relatively large, and it is not applicable to some working conditions with strict pressure drop control requirements. Although the grid has almost no effect on the heat transfer coefficient of the shell side medium, it has very small flow resistance to the shell side medium, which is basically a few KPa or even a few tenths of a KPa for a device. Therefore, the grid heat exchanger is suitable for the process requirements of chemical plants that do not need to improve the heat transfer coefficient of the shell side medium, but require very small flow resistance of the shell side medium.
[0004] The grid heat exchangers currently used in chemical plants usually have a grid structure consisting of two steel bars in different directions superimposed in a steel ring, and the intersections are reinforced by welding. In this way, during the manufacturing process of large-diameter grid equipment, the grid will be twisted after spot welding due to welding, and the manufacturing error of large-diameter grids is difficult to control, which ultimately leads to very low overall forming quality of large-diameter grids. In addition, the grid has a certain strength to support the heat exchange tubes, but during the manufacturing process of large-diameter grid equipment, after a large number of heat exchange tubes are installed, a large number of grid welds will break, which ultimately causes the entire grid tube bundle to deform and cannot be smoothly installed into the equipment shell.
