Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of condensers, in particular to a one-way condenser with a storage tank. Background Art

[0002] The condenser is a component of the refrigeration system and a type of heat exchanger. It can convert gas or vapor into liquid and transfer the heat in the pipe to the air near the pipe in a very fast manner.

[0003] The condensers (heat exchangers) in the prior art not only use air condensation, but some condensers also use water cooling in consideration of condensation efficiency. In addition, the water cooling method can also recover and utilize the waste heat generated by condensation during the gas condensation process, thereby effectively improving energy utilization.

[0004] Among them, the Chinese patent with patent number ZL 202323498473.2 discloses: "A freeze dryer water condenser includes a rotating shaft, one end of the rotating shaft is rotatably installed with an active bevel gear, one end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected with a driven bevel gear, and the active bevel gear and the driven bevel gear are meshed with each other, and a scraper is threadedly connected on the arc surface of the threaded rod, and a cleaning brush is fixedly connected to the arc edge of the scraper. The rotating shaft and the active bevel gear are driven by a driving motor to rotate, thereby driving the driven bevel gear and the threaded rod to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod causes the scraper to move along the arc surface of the threaded rod, and the cleaning brush also moves accordingly. The scraper and the cleaning brush cooperate with each other to clean the inner wall of the condenser body and the arc surface of the condenser tube to remove dirt and scaling. This solution can clean the inside of the water condenser, prevent the blockage and increase of resistance of the pipeline, ensure the normal operation of the water condenser, and improve the efficiency of condensation."

[0005] However, including the solutions described in the above patents, there is a problem with the condensers in the prior art, that is, during the use of the condenser, when the gas is converted into liquid in the heat exchange device of the condenser, the liquid needs to be transported to a storage tank through a pipeline for storage, so that the liquid produced by the condensation can be reused later, or the liquid can be neutralized and then discharged. However, in the existing implementation, the heat exchange device and the liquid storage tank are placed separately and then connected with a pipeline, which will seriously occupy the production space and easily cause liquid to remain in the connecting pipeline.

[0009] A storage tank is mounted and connected to the support frame, wherein a liquid storage cavity is arranged inside the storage tank, and a connecting pipe, a liquid discharge pipe and an exhaust pipe communicating with the liquid storage cavity are also arranged on the surface of the storage tank;

[0010] A heat exchange device, wherein an isolated ventilation cavity and a liquid cavity are arranged inside the heat exchange device; the heat exchange device comprises a connecting portion, and the connecting portion is also provided with an air outlet communicating with the ventilation cavity, and the connecting portion can be connected to a connecting pipe on a storage tank, so that the heat exchange device is connected above the storage tank, and the ventilation cavity is communicated with the liquid storage cavity;

[0011] The surface of the heat exchange device is also provided with an air inlet pipe connected to the ventilation cavity, and a liquid inlet pipe and a liquid outlet pipe connected to the liquid cavity;

[0012] The manhole assembly comprises a manhole pipe which is arranged on the surface of the storage tank and communicates with the liquid storage cavity, and a manhole cover which is arranged on the manhole pipe.

[0015] Furthermore, the tube sheet includes an upper tube sheet and a lower tube sheet, wherein the circumferential side of the upper tube sheet is connected to the air intake cover by bolts, and the circumferential side of the lower tube sheet is connected to the connecting pipe by bolts.

[0016] Furthermore, a plurality of support plates are connected to the inner wall of the shell, and the support plates are sleeved on the outer side of the heat exchange tube to support the heat exchange tube.

[0017] Furthermore, the manhole assembly also includes a plurality of locking rods and locking knobs threadedly connected to the locking rods, and the locking rods are connected to the side walls of the manhole pipes; the locking knobs can be tightened or loosened relative to the locking rods to achieve contact with or separation from the manhole cover; the locking rods are rotatably arranged relative to the manhole pipes, and the locking rods can be rotated to move away from or closer to the manhole cover.

In addition, since the liquid will directly fall into the storage tank after condensation, it can effectively avoid liquid residue;

[0027] 2. The heat exchanger uses water cooling to condense the gas. While achieving the condensation function, it can also utilize the waste heat generated by the gas condensation;

[0028] 3. An observation window is provided on the manhole cover, through which the height of the liquid level in the storage tank can be monitored in real time;

[0029] 4. A liquid level meter is also provided, which can issue a prompt reminder when the liquid level in the storage tank reaches a certain height.
