Figure 2 ; Figure 3 A partial structural schematic diagram of a dual-channel falling film heat exchanger 1 provided in an embodiment of the utility model is shown.

[0031] like Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the technical solution provided by the present application is shown: a dual-channel falling film heat exchanger 1, comprising a shell 2, wherein the shell 2 is along a first direction ( Figure 1 The heat exchange zone 4 extends in the second direction (Z direction), and includes a feed zone 3, a heat exchange zone 4 and a discharge zone 5 arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The feed zone 3 includes a circulating water inlet 30. The discharge zone 5 includes a circulating water outlet 50. The heat exchange zone 4 includes a plurality of heat exchange plates 40. The plurality of heat exchange plates 40 extend in the second direction ( Figure 1The heat exchange plates are arranged at intervals (indicated by the Y direction in the middle), including inter-plate channels and intra-plate channels, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. Each heat exchange plate extends along the first direction and is provided with an intra-plate channel inside. The circulating water inlet 30, the inter-plate channel and the circulating water outlet 50 are connected to provide circulating water.

[0032] The heat exchange area 4 also includes a first refrigerant inlet pipe 41, a first refrigerant outlet pipe 42, a second refrigerant inlet pipe 43 and a second refrigerant outlet pipe 44. The first refrigerant inlet pipe 41 and the first refrigerant outlet pipe 42 are respectively connected to the plate channels of a part of the heat exchange plates 40 to form a first cooling channel. The second refrigerant inlet pipe 43 and the second refrigerant outlet pipe 44 are respectively connected to the plate channels of another part of the heat exchange plates 40 to form a second cooling channel.

[0033] The dual-channel falling film heat exchanger 1 provided by the present application has a refrigerant passing through the plate channels inside the multiple heat exchange plates 40 to exchange heat with the circulating water in the inter-plate channels. The refrigerant used in this solution is a refrigerant that is converted from liquid to gas to absorb heat and cool down. It is just a simple physical change. No electricity or other energy is required in this process. After the circulating water enters the heat exchange area 4, it is cooled by its own gravity and falls freely. No other harmful substances are produced in the whole process. The dual-system heat exchanger is different from the single-system heat exchanger. It has a better cooling effect and faster efficiency. The two-in and two-out refrigerant also indirectly avoids the situation of insufficient energy in a single system with the same heat exchange amount.

[0034] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 to Figure 3 Each heat exchange plate 40 extends along the first direction and has a flow channel inside. The flow channels of the plurality of heat exchange plates 40 constitute an intra-plate channel.

[0035] For example, the heat exchange plate 40 used in this embodiment is a pillow-shaped plate, which has a smooth surface and is not easy to stick to impurities or small floating objects in the circulating water. The entire plate group can change the number and gap of plates according to the working conditions, and can meet the cooling of circulating water in different conditions.

[0036] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 to Figure 3 The first refrigerant inlet pipe 41 and the first refrigerant outlet pipe 42 both extend in the second direction and are arranged on the plurality of heat exchange plates 40 along the third direction ( Figure 1 The first refrigerant inlet pipe 41 includes a plurality of first sub-pipes 45, which are arranged corresponding to the positions of some heat exchange plates 40, and each first sub-pipe 45 is connected to a corresponding flow channel. The first refrigerant outlet pipe 42 includes a plurality of second sub-pipes 46, which are arranged corresponding to the positions of some heat exchange plates 40, and each second sub-pipe 46 is connected to a corresponding flow channel.

[0044] Exemplarily, the circulating water flows from the water inlet to the water tank module, and then passes through the liquid distribution tray 33 at the bottom of the water tank to neatly arrange the guide holes 34 and the guide plate 49, and flows evenly through each heat exchange plate 40, forming an uninterrupted water film of uniform thickness outside the plate.

[0047] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 to Figure 3 The shell 2 further includes a plurality of cleaning doors 20. The plurality of cleaning doors 20 are respectively disposed on the top of the shell 2, on both sides along the second direction, and on both sides along the third direction, and are used to detachably close the hollow area 32 and the heat exchange area 4.

[0048] Exemplarily, the cleaning door 20 is installed in a detachable manner, which facilitates the maintenance and removal and replacement of the heat exchange plate 40, and the inspection and repair of the annular water tank 31 and the liquid distribution pan 33.

[0049] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 to Figure 3 The double-channel falling film heat exchanger 1 further includes a ladder 6. The ladder 6 is arranged on the other side of the plurality of heat exchange plates 40 along the third direction.
