Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical equipment, and more specifically, relates to the technical field of a sanitary electric heater with water passing inside and outside. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutical manufacturers have an increasing demand for heat exchangers in the production process. In particular, some pharmaceutical companies in newly built industrial zones in the south are often unable to provide 24-hour boiler steam supply due to production conditions. During non-production periods, the production cost of boiler steam increases significantly, which not only requires a large amount of human resources (such as management personnel, production personnel, and safety personnel), but also reduces steam consumption, and the operating loss may even exceed the demand for process equipment, which brings a huge economic burden to the company.
[0003] In addition, due to the particularity of the pharmaceutical industry, the temperature of pharmaceutical water needs to be strictly controlled to prevent the temperature from being lower than the GMP regulations, which would affect the product quality. Therefore, how to maintain constant temperature control of injection water during the period without steam supply has become an urgent problem for pharmaceutical companies.
[0004] Traditional heat exchangers usually use a single steam heating method. Although they can meet the needs of pharmaceutical companies to a certain extent, their application is greatly limited when there is no stable steam supply. At the same time, some traditional heat exchangers also have shortcomings in structural design, material selection, cleaning and maintenance, and are difficult to meet the requirements of pharmaceutical companies for hygiene, safety and reliability.

[0033] Please also read Figures 1 to 3 , now a sanitary inside-outside water electric heater provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:
[0034] End plate assembly 1;
[0035] A sleeve structure 2, an opening of the sleeve structure 2 is connected to the end plate assembly 1, an electric heating sleeve 21 is arranged in the sleeve structure 2, and a heat medium shell-side sleeve 22 is arranged in the electric heating sleeve 21;
[0036] A U-shaped heat exchange tube group 3, the inlet end 31 and the outlet end 32 of the U-shaped heat exchange tube group 3 are both connected to the end plate assembly 1, and the U-shaped heat exchange tube group 3 is located in the heat medium shell-side casing 22;
[0037] The steam inlet 41 and the condensed water outlet 42 are respectively arranged on both sides of the sleeve structure 2 .
[0038] The utility model provides a sanitary internal and external water electric heater. Compared with the prior art, the utility model adopts a U-shaped heat exchange tube group 3 structure, which enables the heat medium to fully exchange heat with the U-shaped heat exchange tube group 3 when flowing in the heat medium shell-side sleeve 22, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the inlet end 31 and the outlet end 32 of the U-shaped heat exchange tube group 3 are both connected to the end plate assembly 1. This structural layout makes the overall structure of the heat exchanger more compact and easy to install and use.
[0039] In addition, the utility model also integrates the two functions of steam heating and electric heating. Steam enters the sleeve structure 2 through the steam inlet 41 and exchanges heat with the heat medium in the heat medium shell sleeve 22. At the same time, the electric heating sleeve 21 can provide additional heating capacity to meet the heating needs in different occasions and conditions.
[0040] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 The U-shaped heat exchange tube group 3 includes multiple groups of heat exchange tube groups 31; each group of heat exchange tube groups 31 includes multiple U-shaped heat exchange tubes 311 with the same bending diameter; all heat exchange tubes 311 in the same group are arranged in parallel along the longitudinal section, and all heat exchange tubes 311 in different groups are symmetrically arranged along the same longitudinal section; the inlet ends and outlet ends of all heat exchange tubes 311 form a circular array.
[0041] Each group of heat exchange tube groups 31 is composed of a plurality of U-shaped heat exchange tubes 311 with the same bending diameter. This design ensures that the heat exchange tubes 311 in the same group have the same heat exchange performance, thereby improving the overall heat exchange efficiency. In terms of arrangement, all heat exchange tubes 311 in the same group are arranged in parallel along the longitudinal section. This parallel arrangement enables the heat medium to evenly exchange heat with each heat exchange tube 311 during the flow process, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. All heat exchange tubes 311 in different groups are symmetrically arranged along the same longitudinal section. This symmetrical design not only makes the entire U-shaped heat exchange tube group more beautiful in appearance, but also more stable in structure. The symmetrical layout also helps to optimize the flow path of the fluid, reduce the energy loss of the fluid during the flow process, and further improve the heat exchange efficiency.
[0042] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 The end plate assembly 1 includes a plurality of fixing plates 11 and a cover plate 12; all fixing plates 11 are connected to the cover plate 12 by fasteners. This modular design enables the end plate assembly 1 to have sufficient strength to support the U-shaped heat exchange tube group 3, while being easy to disassemble and repair. The cover plate 12 plays a role of sealing and protection. It can effectively prevent the leakage of heat medium or other fluids from the end plate assembly, ensuring the normal operation of the heat exchanger. At the same time, the cover plate 12 can also be used as an inlet and outlet interface, which is convenient for connection with external pipes or equipment.
[0043] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 The fixing plate 11 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 111 arranged in a circular array, and the mounting holes 111 match all the heat exchange tubes 311; the setting of the fixing plate 11 provides stable support for the U-shaped heat exchange tube group 3. By reasonably designing the number and position of the fixing plates 11, it is possible to ensure that the U-shaped heat exchange tube group maintains a stable shape during the heat exchange process, and prevent deformation or damage caused by vibration or thermal stress.
[0044] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 and 3, a pharmaceutical water inlet pipe 121 and a pharmaceutical water outlet pipe 122 are respectively provided on both sides of the end surface of the cover plate 12 facing the cylinder structure 2; the pharmaceutical water inlet pipe 121 corresponds to the inlet end of all the heat exchange tubes 311, and the pharmaceutical water outlet pipe 122 corresponds to the outlet end of all the heat exchange tubes 311. The pharmaceutical water inlet pipe 121 corresponds to the inlet end of all the heat exchange tubes 311, which means that the pharmaceutical water can enter each heat exchange tube evenly through the pipeline, ensuring that each tube can effectively perform heat exchange. Similarly, the pharmaceutical water outlet pipe 122 corresponds to the outlet end of all the heat exchange tubes 311, ensuring that the pharmaceutical water after heat exchange can flow out smoothly, thereby completing the entire heat exchange process. Through this design, the heat exchanger can not only meet the demand for pharmaceutical water temperature control in the pharmaceutical process, but also ensure the flow uniformity and heat exchange efficiency of pharmaceutical water.

After the pharmaceutical water enters the first semicircular groove 1231 from the pharmaceutical water inlet pipe 121, it enters the inlet ends of the heat exchange tubes 311 respectively, and finally the pharmaceutical water enters the second semicircular groove 1232 from the outlet end of the heat exchange tubes 311, and finally the pharmaceutical water comes out from the pharmaceutical water outlet pipe 122 through the second semicircular groove 1232.
[0046] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 2 The end of the pharmaceutical water inlet pipe 121 or the pharmaceutical water outlet pipe 122 is provided with a conical flange 124, and the end surface of the conical flange 124 is provided with a circle of arc groove 125. The conical flange 124 helps to enhance the guidance of the fluid, ensuring that the fluid can flow in or out smoothly and efficiently; the arc groove 125 is used to accommodate sealing materials or O-rings, etc., to ensure the tightness and sealing of the connection.
[0047] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 The inner wall of the sleeve structure 2 is provided with a thermal insulation layer 23. The main function of the thermal insulation layer 23 is to reduce heat loss and ensure that the heat exchange between the inside of the sleeve structure 1 and the external environment is effectively reduced. This is very important for equipment or processes that need to maintain a specific temperature.
[0048] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 1A support foot structure 24 connected to the ground is provided on one side of the sleeve structure 2. The main function of the support foot structure 24 is to connect to the ground and provide stable support for the entire sleeve structure 2.
