Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a novel flow-guiding and anti-impact structure of a heat exchanger, belonging to the technical field of heat exchanger anti-impact structure design. Background Art

[0002] As a heat exchange equipment, heat exchangers play an important role in the petrochemical industry, especially for industries with high energy consumption. Heat exchangers can effectively utilize heat sources and minimize heat loss. With the development of society, the advancement of science and technology, the large-scale petroleum and chemical equipment, and the increasing size of heat exchange equipment, the requirements for the structural design of heat exchangers have also been greatly increased. How to make the heat exchanger operate safely and reliably is of vital importance to users. Traditional heat exchangers do not have an anti-scouring structure. The shell-side fluid directly enters the shell through the shell-side fluid inlet, which will cause scouring and corrosion to the heat exchange tubes in the shell. At the same time, the high-speed flow of the shell-side fluid will also cause the heat exchange tubes to vibrate, affecting the service life of the heat exchange tubes.

[0003] To this end, a Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN203731926U discloses a new type of heat exchanger anti-collision plate structure. Although it can achieve anti-collision for shell-side fluid, since its anti-collision plate structure is directly installed at the shell-side fluid inlet, the shell-side fluid will directly impact the anti-collision plate structure, which is easy to cause damage to the anti-collision plate and has poor safety and reliability; and since the anti-collision plate structure is located in the shell, it will occupy the layout space of the heat exchange tubes, thereby resulting in a corresponding reduction in the number of heat exchange tubes arranged, which will lead to a reduction in the effective heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchanger, affecting the heat exchange efficiency.

[0005] The novel flow-guiding and anti-impact structure of the heat exchanger described in the utility model comprises a shell and a shell-side fluid inlet, the outer side wall of the shell is connected with a buffer sleeve, the shell-side fluid inlet is arranged on the side wall of the buffer sleeve, and a plurality of strip through holes are opened on the side wall of the shell located in the buffer sleeve, the direction of each strip through hole is consistent with the direction of the shell, and each strip through hole is arranged on the side facing away from the shell-side fluid inlet.

[0006] Furthermore, the angle formed by the line connecting the two outermost strip-shaped through holes and the center of the shell is between 90° and 150°.

[0007] Furthermore, the middle section of the buffer sleeve is linear, the upper and lower ends of the buffer sleeve are both contracted inwardly to correspond to the outer diameter of the shell, and the upper and lower ends of the buffer sleeve are both welded to the shell.

[0008] Furthermore, an upper partition is welded between the upper contraction port of the buffer sleeve and the shell, a lower partition is welded between the lower contraction port of the buffer sleeve and the shell, and the shell-side fluid inlet is arranged between the upper partition and the lower partition.

[0009] Furthermore, an annular rib is connected to the outer side wall of the shell, and the annular rib corresponds to the shell-side fluid inlet.

[0010] Furthermore, the strip-shaped through holes are arranged in two rows, the upper row of strip-shaped through holes is arranged between the upper partition and the annular rib, and the lower row of strip-shaped through holes is arranged between the lower partition and the annular rib.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] The novel flow-guiding and anti-scouring structure of the heat exchanger described in the utility model can make the high-speed shell-side fluid flowing into the shell-side fluid inlet be buffered along the buffer sleeve for a distance and then enter the shell through the strip-shaped through hole in the reverse direction, effectively preventing the shell-side fluid from scouring the heat exchange tube, and the operation is safe and reliable;

[0013] The novel flow-guiding and anti-collision structure of the heat exchanger described in the utility model does not occupy the arrangement space of the heat exchange tubes, and the heat exchange tubes can be fully arranged, thereby preventing the effective heat exchange area from being reduced and ensuring the heat exchange efficiency.

[0018] The following is a further description of the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0019] Embodiment 1:

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the novel flow-guiding and anti-impact structure of the heat exchanger described in the utility model comprises a shell 1 and a shell-side fluid inlet 4, the outer wall of the shell 1 is connected with a buffer sleeve 2, the shell-side fluid inlet 4 is arranged on the side wall of the buffer sleeve 2, and a plurality of strip through holes 7 are opened on the side wall of the shell 1 located in the buffer sleeve 2, the direction of each strip through hole 7 is consistent with the direction of the shell 1, and each strip through hole 7 is arranged on the side opposite to the shell-side fluid inlet 4.

[0021] When in use, the shell-side fluid enters the buffer sleeve 2 through the shell-side fluid inlet 4, then flows along the buffer sleeve 2 for buffering, and then enters the shell 1 through the strip through hole 7 in the opposite direction, which greatly reduces the impact force of the shell-side fluid, thereby effectively preventing the shell-side fluid from scouring the heat exchange tube, and the operation is safe and reliable.

[0022] The novel flow-guiding and anti-collision structure of the heat exchanger described in the utility model does not occupy the arrangement space of the heat exchange tubes, and the heat exchange tubes can be fully arranged, thereby preventing the effective heat exchange area from being reduced and ensuring the heat exchange efficiency.

[0023] Embodiment 2:

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, based on Example 1,

[0025] Furthermore, the angle formed by the line between the two outermost strip-shaped through holes 7 and the center of the housing 1 is between 90° and 150°, preferably 120°;
