Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shell and tube heat exchangers, in particular to a tube bundle supporting structure of a shell and tube heat exchanger. Background Art
[0002] The shell and tube heat exchanger consists of a shell, a heat exchange tube bundle, a tube sheet, a baffle (baffle) and a tube box. The shell is mostly cylindrical with a tube bundle inside. Both ends of the tube bundle are fixed on the tube sheet. One of the hot and cold fluids for heat exchange flows inside the tube, called the tube-side fluid; the other flows outside the tube, called the shell-side fluid. In order to increase the heat transfer coefficient of the fluid outside the tube, several baffles are usually installed in the shell. The baffles can increase the shell-side fluid velocity, forcing the fluid to pass through the tube bundle horizontally for multiple times along a specified distance, thereby enhancing the turbulence of the fluid. The heat exchange tubes can be arranged in an equilateral triangle or square on the tube sheet. The equilateral triangle arrangement is more compact, the turbulence of the fluid outside the tube is high, and the heat transfer coefficient is large; the square arrangement is convenient for cleaning the outside of the tube, and is suitable for fluids that are prone to scaling.
[0003] However, since the heat exchange tube bundle is generally long, the heat exchange tube bundle needs to be supported when assembling the heat exchange tube bundle and the outer shell. The installation position of the heat exchange tube bundle is fixed and relatively compact. It is easy to collide with the shell during installation, causing damage to the heat exchange tube bundle. Therefore, we propose a tube bundle support structure for a shell and tube heat exchanger to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content
