It generally includes a shell, a tube box at both ends of the shell, a tube sheet between the tube box and the shell, and a plurality of heat exchange tubes in the shell that connect the two tube sheets. The multiple heat exchange tubes connect the two tube boxes so that the fluid A in one of the tube boxes enters the other tube box through the multiple heat exchange tubes to exchange heat with the fluid B in the shell. Since water is usually introduced into the tube box, and the salts in the water will precipitate from the water when the temperature rises, and adhere to the inner wall of the heat exchange tube to form scale. With the increase of usage time and frequency of use, the scale layer will gradually become thicker and harder, which will affect the flow efficiency of water in the heat exchanger, and the heat exchanger needs to be descaled.
