Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shell and tube heat exchangers, in particular to a novel high-efficiency shell and tube heat exchanger. Background Art
[0002] Shell and tube heat exchanger is also called shell and tube heat exchanger. It is a wall heat exchanger that uses the wall of the tube bundle enclosed in the shell as the heat transfer surface. This heat exchanger has a simple structure, low cost, wide flow cross section, and is easy to clean scale; but the heat transfer coefficient is low and the floor space is large. It can be made of various structural materials (mainly metal materials), can be used under high temperature and high pressure, and is currently the most widely used type;
[0003] China's publicly authorized invention: CN219511339U discloses a new type of efficient shell and tube heat exchanger, including a shell and a tube box, wherein a heat exchange device is arranged inside the shell, and a sealing connection device is arranged outside the tube box, wherein the heat exchange device includes a heat exchange mechanism and a fixed baffle mechanism, wherein the heat exchange mechanism is arranged on both sides of the shell, and the fixed baffle mechanism is arranged inside the heat exchange mechanism. The new type of efficient shell and tube heat exchanger, through the arrangement of the baffle plate in the heat exchange device, on the one hand, provides a support point for the heat exchange tube, thereby preventing the heat exchange tube from bending and being damaged when working for a long time without support and fixation, and at the same time, it also forces the cold fluid to be baffled multiple times inside the shell, thereby enhancing the turbulence of the fluid and further improving the heat exchange efficiency. The high-temperature fluid is transported to the inside of the heat exchange tube through the circulation pipe in the sealing connection device, and is discharged from another circulation pipe after the heat exchange is completed, thereby realizing the heat exchange function;
[0004] However, there are still some problems with the device. In actual use, the tube box and the shell of the shell and tube heat exchanger are mostly fixed by bolt connection. However, after the heat exchanger has been running for a period of time, due to factors such as corrosive media, temperature changes and mechanical vibrations in the working environment, some bolts may become stripped, rusted or loose. At this time, if the heat exchanger needs to be disassembled for maintenance or parts need to be replaced, the stripped or rusted bolts will greatly increase the difficulty of disassembly and assembly, consuming more time and manpower. Since the tightening and disassembly of bolted connections usually require specific tools, and in some cases special means such as heating and lubrication are required to assist the operation, this undoubtedly puts higher requirements on the professional skills and tool preparation of maintenance personnel, and increases maintenance costs. Therefore, we propose a new type of high-efficiency shell and tube heat exchanger to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
