DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a shell and tube heat exchanger of a multi-heat exchange tube bundle combination of the utility model comprises an outer tube 1, a heat exchange tube 2, a tube sheet 5 and a tube sleeve 6. The outer tube 1 is hollow, and the heat exchange tube 2 is arranged in the hollow outer tube 1. The outer tube 1 and the heat exchange tube 2 are spirally coiled. A refrigerant channel 3 is formed between the heat exchange tube 2 and the outer tube 1, and the refrigerant flows in the refrigerant channel 3. The heat exchange tube 2 is provided with a coolant channel 4, and the refrigerant flows in the refrigerant channel. Water is preferably used as the refrigerant. The tube sheet 5 is arranged in the outer tube 1 and is located at both ends of the outer tube 1 and is in interference fit with the end of the outer tube 1. The two ends of the heat exchange tube 2 are connected to the tube sheet 5. The tube sleeve 6 is sleeved on the tube sheet 5 and is in interference fit with the tube sheet 5. The outer tube 1 is closed by the tube sleeve 6, thereby closing the refrigerant channel 3. A plurality of heat exchange tubes 2 are provided, and the heat exchange area is increased by a plurality of heat exchange tubes 2.
[0030] The structure is simple and compact, the design is novel and reasonable, the refrigerant circulates in the refrigerant channel 3, and the coolant circulates in the coolant channel 4. The outer tube 1 and the heat exchange tube 2 are spirally coiled to increase the circulation distance of the refrigerant and the refrigerant. At the same time, a plurality of heat exchange tubes 2 are provided in the outer tube 1. The heat exchange area between the refrigerant and the refrigerant is increased by the plurality of heat exchange tubes 2, thereby increasing the heat exchange effect.
[0031] A refrigerant inlet 7 is provided at one end of the outer tube 1, and a refrigerant outlet 10 is provided at a pipe sleeve 6 near the end of the refrigerant inlet 7. The refrigerant inlet 7 is connected to the refrigerant channel 3, and the refrigerant outlet 10 is connected to the refrigerant channel 4. A refrigerant outlet 8 is provided at the other end of the outer tube 1, and a refrigerant inlet 9 is provided at the pipe sleeve 6 near the end of the refrigerant outlet 8. The refrigerant outlet 8 is connected to the refrigerant channel 3, and the refrigerant inlet 9 is connected to the refrigerant channel 4. The refrigerant flows from the refrigerant inlet 7 into the refrigerant channel 3 between the outer tube 1 and the heat exchange tube 2, and the refrigerant flows into the heat exchange tube 2 through the refrigerant inlet 9, thereby realizing heat transfer. After the heat exchange is completed, the refrigerant flows out from the refrigerant outlet 8, and the refrigerant flows out from the refrigerant outlet 10.
[0032] The number of the heat exchange tubes 2 in the utility model can be 5-30. In the present embodiment, 20 heat exchange tubes are selected. The specific number can be set according to actual use requirements.
[0033] In this embodiment, the diameter of the heat exchange tube 2 is 5-9.52 mm, and the wall thickness of the heat exchange tube 2 is 0.2-0.8 mm. The heat exchange tube 2 can be made of stainless steel or copper. The heat exchange tube 2 made of stainless steel is corrosion-resistant and has high tube body strength. It is not easy to break and rust. The heat exchange tube 2 made of copper has high compressive strength and good ductility and plasticity, so that the heat exchange tube 2 can have a longer service life.

The liquid storage space 12 is connected to the refrigerant channel 4 of the heat exchange tube 2 through the mounting hole 11. When the refrigerant is introduced through the refrigerant inlet 9, it first enters the liquid storage space 12, and then the refrigerant is diverted through the mounting hole 11 and enters each heat exchange tube 2. After completing the heat transfer, the refrigerant flows out of the refrigerant channel 4, enters the liquid storage space 12 at one end of the refrigerant outlet 10, and then flows out from the refrigerant outlet 10.
