DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a vertical heat exchanger of the utility model comprises a shell 1, a first tube bundle 2, a second tube bundle 3, a connecting pipe 4 and a supporting plate 5; an input port 11 is arranged at the upper end of the shell 1, an output port 12 is arranged at the lower end of the shell 1, the first tube bundle 2 is arranged in the shell 1, a first inlet is arranged at one end of the first tube bundle 2, and a first outlet is arranged at the other end of the first tube bundle 2; the second tube bundle 3 is arranged in the shell 1 and is located above the first tube bundle 2, a transition zone 6 is formed between the second tube bundle 3 and the first tube bundle 2, a second inlet is arranged at one end of the second tube bundle 3, and a second outlet is arranged at the other end of the second tube bundle 3; one end of the connecting pipe 4 is connected to the first outlet, and the other end of the connecting pipe 4 is connected to the second inlet; the supporting plate 5 is arranged in the shell 1, the supporting plate 5 is provided with a first through hole 51 for the first tube bundle 2 to pass through, and the supporting plate 5 is provided with a second through hole 52 for the second tube bundle 3 to pass through.

[0029] Thus, in the vertical heat exchanger of the utility model, when in use, cooling water is inputted into the first tube bundle 2 from the first inlet, the cooling water flows from the first outlet to the connecting pipe 4 after passing through the first tube bundle 2, then enters the second tube bundle 3 from the second inlet, and finally is outputted from the second outlet. At the same time, high-temperature gas is inputted into the shell 1 from the input port 11, the high-temperature gas first passes through the second tube bundle 3 for preliminary heat exchange, then passes through the transition zone 6, then passes through the first tube bundle 2 for secondary heat exchange, and finally is outputted from the output port 12. Since a transition zone 6 is formed between the second tube bundle 3 and the first tube bundle 2, and the support plate 5 is provided with a first through hole 51 for the first tube bundle 2 to pass through, and the support plate 5 is provided with a second through hole 52 for the second tube bundle 3 to pass through, the second tube bundle 3 and the first tube bundle 2 both include a plurality of heat exchange tubes. When installing the first tube bundle 2 and the second tube bundle 3, the first tube bundle 2 is passed through the first through hole 51, and the second tube bundle 3 is passed through the second through hole 52, so that when the high-temperature gas flows, the vibration of the first tube bundle 2 and the second tube bundle 3 is reduced during the gas flow, and it is not easy to cause damage to the heat exchange tubes.

[0030] By setting the transition zone 6, a certain distance is provided between the second tube bundle 3 and the first tube bundle 2, so that the gas first passes through the second tube bundle 3 for the first heat exchange, then passes through the transition zone 6, and finally passes through the second tube bundle 3 for the second heat exchange. The temperature of the water in the second tube bundle 3 is greater than the temperature of the water in the first tube bundle 2, and the heat exchange effect is good.

[0031] Optionally, a low temperature section branch box 13 is provided at the side of the shell 1, and the low temperature section branch box 13 includes a first pipe 131 and a second pipe 132, the first pipe 131 is connected to the first inlet, and the second pipe 132 is connected to the first outlet. A high temperature section branch box 14 is provided at the side of the shell 1, and the high temperature section branch box 14 includes a third pipe 141 and a fourth pipe 142, the third pipe 141 is connected to the second inlet, and the fourth pipe 142 is connected to the second outlet.

[0032] By providing the first connecting pipe 131 and the second connecting pipe 132 , when in use, cooling water can be input into the first tube bundle 2 from the first inlet through the first connecting pipe 131 , then transported to the connecting pipe 4 through the second connecting pipe 132 , finally input into the second tube bundle 3 from the second inlet through the third connecting pipe 141 , and finally output from the fourth connecting pipe 142 .

[0033] In this example, one end of the connecting pipe 4 is connected to the second connecting pipe 132, and the other end of the connecting pipe 4 is connected to the third connecting pipe 141, so that the first tube bundle 2 and the second tube bundle 3 are connected, so that the water in the first tube bundle 2 can be smoothly transported to the second tube bundle 3. A low-temperature section return pipe box is arranged on the other side of the shell 1, and the low-temperature section return pipe box is connected to the first tube bundle 2; a high-temperature section return pipe box is also arranged on the other side of the shell 1, and the high-temperature section return pipe box is connected to the second tube bundle 3.

[0034] In some examples, the shell 1 includes an inlet pipe box 15, a middle pipe box 16 and an outlet pipe box 17; an input port 11 is formed at the upper portion of the inlet pipe box 15; the upper end of the middle pipe box 16 is connected to the inlet pipe box 15, and the first tube bundle 2 and the second tube bundle 3 are arranged in the middle pipe box 16; an output port 12 is formed at the lower portion of the outlet pipe box 17, and the outlet pipe box 17 is connected to the lower end of the middle pipe box 16.

[0035] The high-temperature gas is input through the input port 11, undergoes the first heat exchange through the second tube bundle 3 of the middle tube box 16, passes through the transition zone 6, and then undergoes the second heat exchange with the first tube bundle 2, and finally is output from the output port 12. The inlet tube box 15 and the outlet tube box 17 may be roughly conical to facilitate the diffusion of the high-temperature gas.

[0036] Specifically, the inlet pipe box 15 is provided with a guide plate 151, which includes a horizontal guide plate 1511 and an inclined guide plate 1512. The horizontal guide plate 1511 is provided with a plurality of first guide holes. The inclined guide plate 1512 is connected to the edge of the horizontal guide plate 1511 and is provided with a plurality of second guide holes.

[0037] By setting the horizontal guide plate 1511 and the inclined guide plate 1512, when the high-temperature gas enters the box from the input port 11, the high-temperature gas impacts the horizontal guide plate 1511, and a part of the high-temperature gas enters the box along the first guide hole on the horizontal guide plate 1511, and the other part of the high-temperature gas is dispersed by the horizontal guide plate 1511, moves along the horizontal guide plate 1511 to the inclined guide plate 1512, and then enters the box through the second guide hole of the inclined guide plate 1512. In this way, the high-temperature gas can fully and quickly cover the entire box, so that the heat exchange effect is better.

[0038] In this example, the angle formed by the inclined guide plate 1512 and the horizontal guide plate 1511 along the longitudinal section is angle A, and angle A is an obtuse angle. After the high-temperature gas impacts the horizontal guide plate 1511, part of the high-temperature gas moves along the horizontal guide plate 1511 to the inclined guide plate 1512. Since angle A is an obtuse angle, this part of the high-temperature gas can easily enter the box through the second guide hole.

[0039] Further, the guide plate 151 also includes an inner connecting plate 1513, which is arranged on the inner wall of the inlet pipe box 15, and is connected to the edge of the inclined guide plate 1512. The inner connecting plate 1513 can be attached to the inner wall of the inlet pipe box 15, so that the installation of the guide plate 151 can be completed quickly. After the guide plate 151 is installed, the guide plate 151 is not easy to shake. The angle formed by the inner connecting plate 1513 and the inclined guide plate 1512 along the longitudinal section is angle B, and angle B is 90 degrees, so that when the high-temperature gas enters the box along the second guide hole, the flow direction of the high-temperature gas is roughly parallel to the inner wall of the inlet pipe box 15, so that the gas can quickly cover the entire box.

[0040] The above embodiments and drawings do not limit the product form and style of the present utility model. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field should be deemed to be within the patent scope of the present utility model.
