Since the partition is located at the center of the liquid inlet end, the liquid will flow into the tubes near the center. The tubes at this position are far away from the outer wall of the heat exchanger, and the contact surface between the outer wall of the heat exchanger and the air cannot be well utilized for heat exchange and cooling, which affects the use efficiency of the heat exchanger.

[0025] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the utility model provides a high-efficiency shell-and-tube heat exchanger, comprising: two bases 1, a tank body 2 is fixed between the tops of the two bases 1, an end face of the tank body 2 is fixedly connected to a liquid inlet end 3, and the other end face of the tank body 2 is fixedly connected to a reflux end 4; a shunt component 5, the shunt component 5 is located above the liquid inlet end 3, the shunt component 5 comprises a liquid inlet pipe 501, an end face of the liquid inlet pipe 501 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 503, an end face of the connecting pipe 503 is fixedly connected to a shunt pipe 504, an outer surface of the shunt pipe 504 is fixedly connected to a first input pipe 506, an outer surface of the shunt pipe 504 is fixedly connected to a side near the first input pipe 506, a second input pipe 508 is fixedly connected to an inner surface of the tank body 2, the liquid inlet end 3 and the reflux end 4 are both matched with the heat exchange tubes 6, a partition 13 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the liquid inlet end 3, an outer surface of the partition 13 is in contact with the outer surface of the heat exchange tubes 6, and an outer surface of the heat exchange tubes 6 near the liquid inlet end 3 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the heat exchange tubes 6. A plurality of connecting tubes 10 are evenly and fixedly connected on the surface, the connecting tubes 10 are close to the tube wall above the liquid inlet end 3, a connecting block 11 is fixedly connected between the end faces of the plurality of connecting tubes 10, a third input tube 12 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting block 11, a first input tube 506 is fixedly connected to the liquid inlet end 3, the first input tube 506 and the third input tube 12 are connected, a second input tube 508 is fixedly connected to the liquid inlet end 3, the second input tube 508 and the liquid inlet end 3 are connected, an output tube 7 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the liquid inlet end 3 away from the first input tube 506, a first cold flow tube 8 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the tank body 2, a second cold flow tube 9 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the tank body 2, a flow meter 502 is matched with the inside of the liquid inlet tube 501, a first solenoid valve 507 is matched with the inside of the first input tube 506, a second solenoid valve 509 is matched with the inside of the second input tube 508, and a cover plate 505 is provided on the end surface of the shunt tube 504.
[0026] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 1 is that when the shell-and-tube heat exchanger is in operation, the cold flow circulates inside the tank body 2 through the first cold flow pipe 8 and the second cold flow pipe 9, and then the high-temperature liquid is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 501 for heat exchange and cooling. The liquid will flow to the shunt pipe 504 through the connection pipe 503. When the liquid flows through the liquid inlet pipe 501, the liquid inlet flow rate can be monitored by using the flow meter 502. When the flow rate is detected to be large, the first solenoid valve 507 and the second solenoid valve 509 are controlled to open, so that the first input pipe 506 and the second input pipe 508 are both in a connected state. At this time, the liquid will flow through the shunt pipe 504, and then flow into the liquid inlet end 3 at full speed through the first input pipe 506 and the second input pipe 508. The liquid will flow through a plurality of evenly arranged heat exchange tubes 6. The liquid flowing in the heat exchange tubes 6 contacts with the cold flow inside the tank body 2, and then the liquid re-enters the heat exchange tubes 6 through the reflux end 4 for reflux. The refluxed liquid The liquid passes through the tank body 2 again for heat exchange and cooling, and is finally discharged from the output pipe 7 to complete the cooling process. When the flow meter 502 detects that the input flow is small, the second solenoid valve 509 is controlled to be closed, and the first solenoid valve 507 is in a connected state. At this time, the liquid will only flow out from the first input pipe 506 position, and then the liquid will pass through the third input pipe 12, the connecting block 11 and the connecting pipe 10 to enter the part of the heat exchange tubes 6 at the upper position for circulation. After the liquid with a lower flow rate is diverted, when it circulates and exchanges heat only from the part of the heat exchange tubes 6 at the upper position, all the liquid will be in a state of adhering to the outer wall of the tank body 2, and after the liquid flows back through the reflux end 4, under the action of natural gravity, the liquid will flow back from the bottom part of the heat exchange tubes 6 when it flows back, that is, the liquid is still in a state of adhering to the outer wall of the tank body 2. During the circulation and heat exchange process, the liquid can be closer to the inner wall of the tank body 2, so that the liquid can exchange heat with the outside air, effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency of the liquid.
[0027] Embodiment 2, as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a cover plate 505 is provided on the end surface of the shunt pipe 504 .
[0028] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 2 is that, through the setting of the cover plate 505, the inner wall of the diverter tube 504 can be easily cleaned after the cover plate 505 is opened, thereby avoiding liquid accumulation at the connection of the inner wall of the diverter tube 504 and improving the flow efficiency of the diverter tube 504.
[0029] Working principle: When the shell-and-tube heat exchanger is in operation, the first cold flow pipe 8 and the second cold flow pipe 9 are used to circulate the cold flow inside the tank body 2, and then the high-temperature liquid is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 501 for heat exchange and cooling. The liquid will flow to the shunt pipe 504 through the connection pipe 503. When the liquid flows through the liquid inlet pipe 501, the liquid inlet flow rate can be monitored by using the flow meter 502. When the flow rate is detected to be large, the first solenoid valve 507 and the second solenoid valve 509 are controlled to open, so that the first input pipe 506 and the second The input pipes 508 are all in a connected state. At this time, the liquid will flow through the shunt pipe 504, and then flow into the liquid inlet end 3 at full speed through the first input pipe 506 and the second input pipe 508. The liquid will flow through a plurality of evenly arranged heat exchange tubes 6. The liquid flowing in the heat exchange tubes 6 contacts the cold flow inside the tank body 2. Then the liquid re-enters the heat exchange tubes 6 through the reflux end 4 for reflux. The refluxed liquid passes through the tank body 2 again for heat exchange and cooling, and is finally discharged from the output pipe 7 to complete the cooling process. The flow meter 502 monitors When the input flow rate is small, the second solenoid valve 509 is controlled to be closed, and the first solenoid valve 507 is in a connected state. At this time, the liquid will only flow out from the first input pipe 506, and then the liquid will enter the part of the heat exchange tubes 6 at the upper position through the connection of the third input pipe 12, the connecting block 11 and the connecting pipe 10 for circulation. After the liquid with a lower flow rate is diverted, it will only circulate and exchange heat from the part of the heat exchange tubes 6 at the upper position. All the liquid will be in a state of adhering to the outer wall of the tank body 2, and after the liquid flows back through the reflux end 4, Under the action of natural gravity, when the liquid refluxes, it will reflux from the bottom part of the heat exchange array tube 6, that is, the liquid is still in a state of adhering to the outer wall of the tank body 2. The liquid can be closer to the inner wall of the tank body 2 during the circulation and heat exchange process, so that the liquid can exchange heat with the outside air, which effectively improves the heat exchange efficiency of the liquid. Through the setting of the cover plate 505, the inner wall of the diverter pipe 504 can be easily cleaned after the cover plate 505 is opened, avoiding liquid accumulation at the connection of the inner wall of the diverter pipe 504, thereby improving the circulation efficiency of the diverter pipe 504.

The models are selected according to actual use, so the control method and wiring arrangement of the flow meter 502, the first solenoid valve 507 and the second solenoid valve 509 are no longer explained in detail.
