Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of air compressors, and relates to an air-cooled screw air compressor, in particular to a heat exchange device for an air-cooled screw air compressor. Background Art

[0002] There are two main types of heat exchange technologies used in existing air-cooled screw air compressors: one is axial fan heat exchange, and the other is centrifugal fan heat exchange. The latter is widely used in the field of high-end air-cooled screw air compressors due to its advantages such as high wind pressure and low noise; however, the air duct of the centrifugal fan heat exchange system currently has some defects.

[0003] At present, the air intake for absorbing the heat inside the chassis in the air duct of the centrifugal fan heat exchange system is designed after the heat exchanger, that is, on the sealing covers on both sides of the heat exchanger bracket. This will reduce the air volume passing through the heat exchanger and reduce the heat exchange efficiency when using the same specification centrifugal fan.

[0004] In view of this, there is an urgent need to design a new air-cooled screw air compressor heat exchange device to overcome at least part of the above-mentioned defects of the existing air-cooled screw air compressor heat exchange device. Utility Model Content

[0009] The centrifugal fan is arranged in the wind box, and the collector is arranged between the centrifugal fan and the heat exchanger bracket; a through hole is arranged in the area of ​​the heat exchanger bracket close to the collector, so that the internal space formed by the heat exchanger bracket can be connected with the collector; a second window is arranged on the top of the wind box;

[0010] The driving mechanism is connected to the centrifugal fan and can drive the centrifugal fan to rotate, thereby driving the cold air outside the air compressor to pass through the air suction hood, heat exchanger, heat exchanger bracket, collector, centrifugal fan, and bellows in sequence, and be discharged from the second window of the bellows; the airflow inside the air compressor is extracted by the centrifugal fan through the first window of the air suction hood, ensuring that the heat in the air compressor chassis is dissipated in time.

[0011] As an implementation manner of the present utility model, the driving mechanism is an electric motor.

[0012] As an implementation mode of the utility model, the heat exchanger is respectively provided with a medium inlet and a medium outlet; the medium inlet is used to connect hot oil, and the medium outlet outputs cold oil after heat exchange.

[0013] As an implementation mode of the utility model, one side or both sides of the heat exchanger bracket are provided with an opening, and a sealing cover is provided at the opening.

[0017] The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] In order to further understand the present invention, preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with examples.

[0019] The description in this section is only for several typical embodiments, and the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments. The same or similar prior art means and some technical features in the embodiments are mutually replaced and are also within the scope of the present invention.

[0020] The term “connection” in the specification includes both direct connection and indirect connection.

[0021] The utility model discloses a heat exchange device for an air-cooled screw air compressor.

[0022] The heat exchanger 2 is arranged on the heat exchanger support 3, and the air suction hood 1 is arranged on the first side of the heat exchanger 2; a first window 11 is arranged on the top of the air suction hood 1. The centrifugal fan 5 is arranged in the wind box 6, and the collector 4 is arranged between the centrifugal fan 5 and the heat exchanger support 3; a through hole 31 is arranged in the area of ​​the heat exchanger support 3 close to the collector 4, so that the internal space formed by the heat exchanger support 3 can be connected with the collector 4; a second window 61 is arranged on the top of the wind box 6.

[0023] The driving mechanism 7 is connected to the centrifugal fan 6 and can drive the centrifugal fan 6 to rotate, thereby driving the cold air outside the air compressor to pass through the air suction hood 1, the heat exchanger 2, the heat exchanger bracket 3, the collector 4, the centrifugal fan 5, and the bellows 6 in sequence, and be discharged from the second window 61 of the bellows 6, so as to achieve heat exchange between the cold air and the hot oil, and ensure the stability of the exhaust temperature of the air compressor; the airflow inside the air compressor is extracted by the centrifugal fan 5 through the first window 11 of the air suction hood 1, so as to ensure that the heat in the air compressor chassis is dissipated in time and the temperature is stable. In one embodiment, the driving mechanism 7 is an electric motor.

[0024] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the heat exchanger 2 is provided with a medium inlet 21 and a medium outlet 22; the medium inlet 21 is used to connect hot oil, and the medium outlet 22 outputs cold oil after heat exchange.

[0025] In addition, one or both sides of the heat exchanger support 3 are provided with an opening 31, and a sealing cover 9 is provided at the opening 31.

[0028] Since the air suction hood 1 is arranged before the heat exchanger, the air volume passing through the heat exchanger 2 will not be reduced, and the air temperature in the chassis 8 is much lower than the temperature of the hot oil coming out of the compressor, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the system and saving energy consumption.

[0029] In summary, the air-cooled screw air compressor heat exchange device proposed in the utility model can improve the heat exchange efficiency of the air-cooled screw air compressor system and save energy consumption.
