[0002] The main transport and use media in the petroleum field are crude oil and oily wastewater, which often have complex compositions. The media also contain a large amount of sulfates or carbonates including barium, strontium, magnesium, calcium, as well as paraffin, polymers and other substances. When these media are in heat exchange in the heat exchanger, they are easy to condense and adsorb on the surface of the pipe wall after contacting with the pipe wall.

This makes the equipment very prone to clogging failures during operation, with a high equipment operation failure rate, poor reliability, shortened maintenance cycles, high operation and maintenance costs, and poor economic efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an anti-blocking heat exchanger to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.
[0020] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments described herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present application thorough and complete, and to fully convey the concepts of these exemplary embodiments to those of ordinary skill in the art. In the accompanying drawings, for clarity, the thickness of the layers and regions is enlarged, and the same reference numerals are used to represent the same devices, so their description will be omitted.
[0021] See also Figures 1 to 3 The utility model embodiment provides an anti-blocking heat exchanger, including: a heat exchanger body, a sewage pipe system and a control system.
[0022] The heat exchanger body includes a shell 110 , and a left water chamber assembly 103 and a right water chamber assembly 104 are respectively disposed at two ends of the shell 110 .
[0023] Specifically, the left water chamber assembly 103 is mounted on the left tube sheet 105 by means of bolts 115 and nuts 116, and a left water chamber gasket 111 is disposed between the left water chamber assembly 103 and the left tube sheet 105. The right water chamber assembly 104 is mounted on the right tube sheet 106 by means of bolts 115 and nuts 116, and a right water chamber gasket 112 is disposed between the right water chamber assembly 104 and the right tube sheet 106.
[0024] The left water chamber assembly 103 and the right water chamber assembly 104 are fastened to the left tube sheet 105 and the right tube sheet 106 respectively by bolts 115 and nuts 116. This design makes the overall structure of the heat exchanger compact and stable. The connection method of bolts and nuts can ensure that there will be no loosening or leakage between the water chamber assembly and the tube sheet during the operation of the equipment, thereby ensuring the sealing and operating stability of the heat exchanger. The left water chamber gasket 111 and the right water chamber gasket 112 are respectively arranged between the left water chamber assembly 103 and the left tube sheet 105, and between the right water chamber assembly 104 and the right tube sheet 106. The presence of the gasket can effectively fill the small gap between the water chamber assembly and the tube sheet, prevent medium leakage, and improve the sealing performance of the heat exchanger. This is particularly important for application scenarios that require maintaining the purity of the medium and preventing pollution. The bolt and nut connection method makes the installation and disassembly of the water chamber assembly relatively simple and convenient. When maintenance or replacement of parts is required, the water chamber assembly can be easily disassembled, reducing maintenance costs and time costs. At the same time, the design of the gasket is also easy to replace. When the gasket is aged or damaged, it can be easily replaced to ensure the sealing performance of the heat exchanger. This design of the present invention enables the heat exchanger to adapt to different working conditions and medium requirements. By adjusting the material and thickness of the gasket, the requirements of different media for sealing performance can be met. At the same time, the connection method of the bolt and nut also has a certain degree of flexibility, and the tightening force can be adjusted as needed to adapt to different working pressure and temperature conditions.

[0026] A heat transfer pipe 107 is arranged inside the shell 110, and the heat transfer pipe 107 is connected between the left water chamber assembly 103 and the right water chamber assembly 104; the heat transfer pipe 107 adopts a telescopic pipe, and the expansion section and the contraction section of the heat transfer pipe 107 are arranged alternately in sequence; the strong vortex generated by the fluid in the expansion section can be fully utilized in the contraction section, and at the same time, the boundary layer flow velocity of the contraction section can be effectively increased, thereby significantly reducing the possibility of dirt in the fluid being deposited on the pipe wall.
[0027] A shell-side medium outlet 109 is provided below one end of the shell 110, and a shell-side medium inlet 108 is provided above the other end of the shell 110; the outer side of the left water chamber component 103 is connected to the tube-side medium inlet 101 and the tube-side medium inlet and outlet 102 at the top and bottom, respectively.
[0028] Specifically, the sewage pipe system includes a sewage pipe, a manual ball valve 201 and an electric ball valve 202; the sewage pipe includes a first pipe 117, a second pipe 118, a third pipe 119, a fourth pipe 120, a fifth pipe 121, a sixth pipe 122 and a seventh pipe 123; the right water chamber assembly 104 is connected to the second pipe 118 through the first pipe 117 and the third pipe 119 respectively, and the second pipe 118 is connected to the fourth pipe 120; the fourth pipe 120 is connected to the pipe medium inlet and outlet 102 through the seventh pipe 123; the fourth pipe 120 is connected to the left water chamber assembly 103 through the sixth pipe 122 and the fifth pipe 121 in sequence; the first pipe 117, the third pipe 119 and the seventh pipe 121 are all provided with a manual ball valve 201 and an electric ball valve 202.
[0029] Specifically, the control system includes a controller 301, a first input signal line 302, a second input signal line 303, a first output signal line 304, a second output signal line 305, a third output signal line 306, a pressure sensor 113 and an outlet pressure sensor 114; an inlet pressure sensor 113 is provided on the pipe-side medium inlet 101, and an outlet pressure sensor 114 is provided on the pipe-side medium inlet and outlet 102; the inlet pressure sensor 113 is connected to the controller 301 through the first input signal line 302, and the outlet pressure sensor 114 is connected to the controller 301 through the second input signal line 303, and the controller 301 is connected to the manual ball valve 201 and the electric ball valve 202 on the first piping 117, the third piping 119 and the seventh piping 121 through the first output signal line 304, the second output signal line 305 and the third output signal line 306 respectively.
[0030] When the anti-blocking heat exchanger of the utility model is in operation, the relatively dirty medium flows in the tube side, and the clean medium flows in the shell side. When the medium flows through the heat transfer tube of the heat exchanger, due to the influence of the flow velocity in the tube and the expansion of the tube diameter, the dirt is not easy to react with the tube wall to deposit and scale. When the medium leaves the heat transfer tube to the water chamber, due to the sudden slowdown of the flow velocity, some dirt and sediment will gradually sink. When reaching the lower part, it will be guided to the lowest area through the water chamber partition. After accumulating for a certain period of time or according to the change of the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the tube side medium, the sewage electric ball valve will be opened through the control program, and the pressure difference will be used to transport the dirt or sediment to the outlet end of the heat exchanger to complete the sewage discharge. When the heat exchanger has multiple processes, the sewage electric valve is opened to discharge sewage in sequence, and sewage is not discharged at the same time.
