Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, in particular to a stuffing box heat exchanger. Background Art

[0002] Fixed tube sheet heat exchanger is a commonly used shell and tube heat exchanger, mainly composed of shell, tube sheet, tube bundle, tube box and other components. The tube sheets at both ends of the fixed tube sheet heat exchanger are connected and fixed to the shell by welding. The heat exchange tube can be a plain tube or a low-fin tube. It has a simple structure, saves materials, has low manufacturing cost, can obtain a smaller shell inner diameter, the tube side can be divided into various types, and the shell side can also be divided into multiple passes by longitudinal partitions. It has a wide range of specifications, so it is widely used in engineering.

[0003] However, the shell side of the existing fixed tube sheet heat exchanger cannot be disassembled for cleaning, which limits its use in some working conditions. The advantage of the floating head heat exchanger is that it is easy to clean between and inside the tubes and does not produce thermal stress; but its structure is complex and its cost is higher than that of the fixed tube sheet heat exchanger. Although the existing stuffing box heat exchanger has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and is easy to repair and clean; however, the shell side fluid may leak out, so the use pressure and temperature are limited.

[0007] Furthermore, one end of the packing gland is a flange, and the other end is a cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, a threaded hole is provided on the end face of the outer head cover side flange, and a corresponding bolt hole is provided on the flange at one end of the packing gland, and the packing gland is fixedly connected to the outer head cover side flange by studs and nuts.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the cylinder of the packing gland is consistent with the inner diameter of the flange on the outer head cover side, and the outer diameter is consistent with the diameter of the groove on the inner side of the flange on the outer head cover side, and the cylinder of the packing gland is used to compress the packing.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the floating tube sheet at the floating end of the tube bundle is smaller than the inner diameter of the outer head cover flange, the top surface of the floating tube sheet is lower than the top surface of the outer head cover flange, and the top surface of the floating tube sheet is higher than the top surface of the packing.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has at least the following technical effects or advantages:
