[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, in particular to the field of heat recovery devices, specifically to a waste heat recovery device. Background Art

[0002] A heat exchanger is an energy-saving device that transfers heat between two or more fluids at different temperatures. It is one of the main devices that transfers heat from a higher temperature fluid to a lower temperature fluid so that the fluid temperature reaches the specified index of the process to meet the needs of process conditions and improve energy utilization.

[0003] In the prior art, when recovering waste heat from steam, a U-tube heat exchanger is usually used to transfer the waste heat in the steam to the liquid through the tube side. The height of the liquid level in the shell side cylinder is affected by many factors such as the steam temperature and the liquid temperature in the shell side. If the liquid level is too high, it will affect the steam capacity in the shell side, and it cannot be guaranteed that there is enough steam in the shell side cylinder. If the liquid level is too low, it will affect the heat exchange efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably control the liquid level in the shell side cylinder. However, the prior art cannot achieve the adjustment of the liquid height in the shell side cylinder, which affects the heat exchange of the tube side heat exchange tubes. In addition, when there are many impurities in the shell side, it cannot be cleaned and effective maintenance cannot be performed, resulting in low waste heat recovery efficiency and a short service life. Summary of the invention

[0007] A start-up steam inlet is also provided at the bottom of the shell-side cylinder, into which a certain amount of hot steam is introduced for preheating inside the shell-side cylinder to prevent supercooled liquid from damaging the heat exchange tube or cylinder; a limit plate is provided above the heat exchange tube in the shell-side cylinder to prevent the heat exchange tube from moving due to high-temperature steam; a manhole is provided at one end of the shell-side cylinder away from the tube-side cylinder to facilitate maintenance of the interior of the equipment; a liquid level gauge port is provided on the tube-side cylinder, and a liquid level gauge is installed between the two liquid level gauge ports to observe the liquid level in the shell-side cylinder. When the liquid exceeds the set liquid level, it is convenient to drain the liquid so as to keep the liquid level within a certain range, which should not only submerge the heat exchange tube but also not be too high, while maintaining the steam volume within the set range;

[0008] A drain pipe is fixed above the heat exchange tube in the tube-side cylinder. The drain pipe includes several sections of drain pipes connected by flanges. The drain pipes are installed on the support frame through U-shaped buckles. The support frame is welded to the inner wall of the shell-side cylinder. Each drain pipe is connected to a liquid level pipe. A liquid level inlet is opened on the top of the liquid level pipe. A V-shaped water inlet is opened on the edge of the liquid level inlet. Four V-shaped water inlet notches are evenly opened on each liquid level pipe. The V-shaped water inlet notches gradually decrease from the top to the bottom. The liquid level in the shell-side cylinder is kept within the height range of the V-shaped water inlet notches. The height of the liquid level can be observed by the drainage main pipe.

[0010] At the same time, the liquid enters the shell-side cylinder through the water supply inlet, and the hot steam entering from the start-up steam inlet preheats the liquid. After the liquid exchanges heat with the high-temperature steam in the heat exchange tube, the liquid in the shell-side cylinder becomes water vapor, and then the steam is discharged through the steam outlet; a sufficient amount of steam must be ensured in the upper part of the shell-side cylinder, and the liquid level in the shell-side cylinder displayed by the liquid level gauge must be observed to keep the liquid submerged in the heat exchange tube; when the liquid level exceeds the V-shaped water inlet gap, the liquid rushes into the V-shaped water inlet gap from all directions and enters the liquid level pipe, and is collected from the liquid level pipe into each section of the drainage pipe, flows in the drainage pipe, and is finally discharged from the drainage main pipe to the outside of the shell-side cylinder; the liquid level is maintained within the range of the V-shaped water inlet gap. When the liquid level is high, the opening area of ​​the V-shaped water inlet gap is large and the drainage speed is fast. When the liquid level gradually decreases, the opening area of ​​the V-shaped water inlet gap is small, and the drainage speed slows down at the same time.

[0011] When the liquid level rises quickly, the liquid enters the liquid level pipe directly from the liquid level inlet to increase the drainage speed. When the liquid level rises rapidly and seriously exceeds the demand, the drainage main pipe cannot meet the drainage speed, the drainage port is opened to assist in speeding up the drainage speed.
