Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sealing devices, in particular to a sealing device for quickly plugging leaks in a tubular heat exchanger. Background Art

[0002] Among the numerous equipment in thermal power plants, there are quite a few tubular heaters and heat exchangers. During normal production, each heater may have leakage problems of varying degrees due to rupture of the tube bundle, which has a great impact on the economy and safety of the thermal power plant.

[0003] In the case of a tube bundle leak in the heater, the heater is generally isolated and then repaired by plugging the tubes to ensure the normal operation of the heater in the thermal power plant. However, due to the cumbersome isolation and safety measures of some large heat exchangers, it is necessary to drain the internal water after isolation before repair work can be carried out. However, the draining time is often too long, which increases the repair time. In addition, due to the influence of factors such as residual water and steam inside the pipeline, the welding quality of the plugging tube repair is directly affected, and defects such as incomplete welding and air holes often occur. This will result in poor maintenance quality, rework, increased labor costs, and reduced production safety and production efficiency of the thermal power plant. Therefore, designing a plugging water plug for tubular heaters is an inevitable requirement for the emergency repair of tubular heat exchangers in thermal power plants. Utility Model Content

[0027] The working principles and beneficial effects of the above embodiments.

[0028] When in use, after a leak occurs in the tube bundle inside the tubular heat exchanger, a bolt is screwed into the bolt hole 2 to insert the water plug 1 into the leaking tube bundle of the heat exchanger. The end where the cleaning device 8 is located first enters the tube bundle. Since the front end of the whole formed by the multiple bent cleaning plates 83 is smaller than the inner diameter of the tube bundle, and the rear end is larger than the inner diameter of the tube bundle, after the front end of the bent cleaning plate 83 extends into the tube bundle, the bent cleaning plate 83 is squeezed by the tube bundle, so that the telescopic support rod 82 and the telescopic spring 85 are compressed, so that the rear end of the bent cleaning plate 83 enters the tube bundle. Under the elastic action of the telescopic spring 85, the cleaning part 84 on the bent cleaning plate 83 is against the inner wall of the tube bundle. The water plug 1 continues to be pushed into the tube bundle and the water plug 1 is appropriately rotated. At this time, the cleaning part 84 moves along the inner wall of the tube bundle, so that the attached The dirt on the inner wall of the tube bundle is scraped off, so that the outer surfaces of the first O-ring 5 and the second O-ring 6 can fit tightly against the inner wall of the tube bundle to seal the residual medium inside the tube bundle. The entire water plug 1 enters the interior of the tube bundle, isolates the water and steam inside the pipeline, removes the bolts, and then inserts the conventional plug into the end of the tube bundle for welding and plugging. The water plug 1 is cylindrical, compact in structure, and easy to process and produce. The bolt hole 2 processed at one end of the water plug 1 is used to install the bolt, which facilitates the positioning of the water plug 1 such as insertion and removal. After the positioning is completed, the bolts are removed without affecting the installation of the plug. The first O-ring 5 and the second O-ring 6 of different specifications can be assembled in the first groove 3 and the second groove 4 to meet the needs of plugging leaks in tube bundles with similar pipe diameters.
