AI Technical Summary
When existing partition wall heat exchange tubes treat materials with large viscosity, poor thick fluidity or granular shape, they have large heat transfer resistance and poor heat exchange effect.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, in particular to a heat exchange tube with a sleeve. Background Art
[0002] Heat exchanger is a device that transfers part of the heat of hot fluid to cold fluid. Heat exchanger plays an important role in chemical, petroleum, power, food and many other industrial production.
[0003] The heat exchange tube is one of the main components of the heat exchanger. It is placed inside the cylinder and is used for heat exchange between two media. It has high thermal conductivity and good isothermal properties. It is a device that can quickly transfer heat energy from one point to another with almost no heat loss. Therefore, it is called a heat transfer superconductor. Its thermal conductivity is thousands of times that of copper.
[0004] For the food industry, the heat exchange tubes for different media, different working conditions, different temperatures, and different pressures have different structural types.
[0005] The partition heat exchanger is the most widely used heat exchanger. In a partition heat exchanger, two fluids with different temperatures flow in a space separated by a wall, and heat is exchanged between the two fluids through heat conduction of the wall and convection of the fluid on the wall surface. There are shell and tube type, sleeve and tube type and other types of heat exchangers.
[0006] The most commonly used heat exchanger in the food industry is the shell and tube heat exchanger, which is a type of tubular heat exchanger. It is a concentric shell and tube connected by two standard tubes of different sizes. The outer one is called the shell side and the inner one is called the tube side. Two different media can flow in the shell side and the tube side in reverse (or in the same direction) to achieve the effect of heat exchange. This type of heat exchange is basically suitable for heat exchange of various foods. However, there are still certain limitations. For some special materials, such as those with high viscosity, poor viscous fluidity or granular. The heat transfer resistance is large and the heat exchange effect is very poor.
[0007] For very viscous materials, the fluidity is very poor. The increase in viscosity will lead to an increase in the thickness of the boundary layer (whether it is the laminar boundary layer or the laminar bottom layer of the turbulent boundary layer), thereby increasing the thermal resistance of the boundary layer heat conduction, which leads to a decrease in the intensity of convective heat transfer, so the heat transfer effect is very poor. The traditional partition-type heat exchange tube has only one material cavity and one medium cavity. Although the heat exchange process is also carefully calculated, the actual working conditions and material differences inevitably make the heat exchange less than ideal and fail to achieve the expected effect. Utility Model Content
[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the problems existing in the prior art and provide a heat exchange tube with four sleeves.
[0009] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:
[0010] A heat exchange tube with four sleeves comprises tube 1, tube 2, tube 3 and tube 4 arranged from outside to inside, tube 2 is inserted into tube 1, a medium cavity is formed between tube 1 and tube 2, both ends of the medium cavity are closed, and tube 1 is provided with an inlet and outlet for the medium; tube 3 is inserted into tube 2, a material cavity is formed between tube 2 and tube 3, and tube 2 is provided with an inlet and outlet for the material; tube 4 is inserted into tube 3, a medium cavity is formed between tube 3 and tube 4, and both ends of the medium cavity are closed; the inner cavity of tube 4 is also a medium cavity, which is interconnected with the medium cavity formed between tube 3 and tube 4, tube 4 is provided with an inlet and outlet for the medium, and tube 3 is provided with an outlet for the medium.
[0011] The inlet and outlet of the medium arranged on the tube 1 are on the outer wall of the tube 1 .
[0012] The inlet of the material chamber is arranged on the outer wall of the right end of the tube 2, and the outlet of the material chamber is arranged on the port at the left end of the tube 2.
[0013] The inlet of the medium arranged on the tube 4 is the right end port of the tube 4 , and the outlet is arranged on the outer wall of the right end of the tube 3 .
[0014] The heat exchange tube with four sleeves described in the utility model has the material between two media, and the material flows in the tube in reverse to achieve the purpose of heat exchange. The inner and outer sides of the material cavity are in full contact with the medium, and the heat exchange area is greatly increased. The increase in thermal conductivity will reduce the thermal resistance of the boundary layer, which means that the convective heat transfer intensity will increase, greatly improving the heat exchange effect. The structure is simple and can withstand high pressure. The heat transfer area can be increased or decreased as needed, and it is easy to use. The production efficiency is greatly improved and the manufacturing cost is reduced. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
