It realizes the heat exchange between flue gas and cold medium through heat exchange tubes, which can effectively improve the energy utilization rate.
[0003] Traditional flue gas heat exchangers mostly adopt a fixed tube sheet structure, where the heat exchange tube bundle is welded and fixed to the tube sheet and encapsulated in the shell. During actual operation, dust particles contained in the flue gas are likely to continuously adhere to the outer wall of the heat exchange tubes, gradually forming a dense ash layer, resulting in a significant decrease in heat transfer efficiency. In severe cases, it may even cause blockage of the flue gas channel. To maintain the normal operation of the equipment, it is necessary to regularly stop the machine for tube bundle cleaning or replacement operations.
[0004] However, the current maintenance operations have significant operational limitations: operators need to clean the outer wall of the fixed tube bundle with tools in the narrow space inside the shell, and the cleaning operation is very inconvenient; in addition, the spacing between the tube bundles is small, making it difficult to effectively control the ash cleaning tools and prone to cleaning dead corners; the above cleaning process is time-consuming, laborious and inefficient, affecting production continuity.

[0030] As Figures 1 - 6 shown, this embodiment is realized through the following technical solutions: A number of groups of heat exchange tubes 2 are inserted into the flue gas box 1; the heat exchange tubes 2 are connected in series through a number of connecting pipes 3.

[0032] The heat conduction cylinder 202 includes: a cylinder body 2021 sleeved on the inner tube 201, a number of heat conduction fins 2022 are evenly arranged on the outer wall of the cylinder body 2021, and a maintenance handle 2023 is provided at one end of the cylinder body 2021.
[0033] The heat conduction fins 2022 can increase the contact area between the heat conduction cylinder 202 and the flue gas, and improve the heat conduction ability of the heat conduction cylinder 202.
[0034] Specifically, the flue gas box 1 is provided with an inlet port 101 and an outlet port 104, and a number of seat holes 102 are provided on the side of the flue gas box 1, and the inner tube 201 can be inserted into the seat holes 102; a maintenance window 103 is also provided on the side of the flue gas box 1.
[0035] In this embodiment, an interference fit is adopted between the inner tube 201 and the seat hole 102; one end of the inner tube 201 protrudes from the seat hole 102, as Figure 1 shown; one side of the convex ring 2014 abuts against the inner wall of the flue gas box 1, and the inner tube 201 realizes its axial positioning on the flue gas box 1 through the convex ring 2014.
[0036] A cover plate 4 is provided on the maintenance window 103. When maintaining the heat exchanger, an operator can remove the cover plate 4 and perform maintenance operations on the heat exchange tube 2 through the maintenance window 103.
[0037] Specifically, the inner tube 201 includes: a tube body 2011, and a partition 2012 is provided inside the tube body 2011. The partition 2012 divides the interior of the tube body 2011 into several chambers 2013.
[0038] Specifically, the cold medium is introduced into the chamber 2013 of the heat exchange tube 2 through the connecting pipe 3. The cold medium flows between multiple groups of heat exchange tubes 2, and the cold medium exchanges heat with the high-temperature flue gas in the flue gas box 1 through the inner tube 201 and the heat conduction cylinder 202.
[0039] A convex ring 2014 and a clamping groove 2015 are provided on the outer wall of the tube body 2011. A retaining ring 203 is clamped in the clamping groove 2015, and the barrel body 2021 can be axially fixed between the convex ring 2014 and the retaining ring 203.
[0040] The sealing cap 204 is fitted onto the pipe orifice of the tube body 2011.
[0041] Specifically, the sealing cap 204 is provided with a liquid changing port 2041, and the liquid changing port 2041 communicates with the chamber 2013. The connecting pipe 3 is inserted into the liquid changing port 2041 to ensure the continuous conveyance of the cold medium in the pipeline.

[0044] The specific working principle of the present utility model is as follows:
[0045] After the high-temperature flue gas inside the flue gas box 1 enters through the air inlet 101, it comes into full contact with the heat conduction fins 2022 on the surface of the heat conduction cylinder 202 when flowing through the heat conduction cylinder 202. The heat of the flue gas is quickly transferred to the barrel body 2021 through the heat conduction fins 2022. The heat conduction cylinder 202 is in contact with the inner tube 201 to form a heat conduction path. When the cold medium flows through the chambers 2013 of each series-connected heat exchange tube 2 in sequence through the connecting pipe 3, it continuously absorbs the heat of the flue gas through the wall of the tube body 2011 of the inner tube 201 and the heat conduction cylinder 202, thereby realizing heat exchange.
[0046] When maintaining the heat exchange tube 2, manually hold the disassembly and assembly handle 403 to remove the cover plate 4, and check or replace the heat exchange tube 2 through the maintenance window 103; when maintaining the heat exchange tube 2, first remove the retaining ring 203 from the inner tube 201, and then manually hold the maintenance handle 2023 to remove the heat conduction cylinder 202 from the inner tube 201 and transfer it to the outside for cleaning. Further, manually re-insert the cleaned heat conduction cylinder 202 onto the inner tube 201 and install the retaining ring 203 to axially fix the heat conduction cylinder 202. After the heat conduction cylinder 202 is maintained, then install the cover plate 4 onto the flue gas box 1, and the maintenance process is efficient and convenient.

The present utility model is not limited to the above examples either. Equivalent changes and improvements made by those of ordinary skill in the art within the essence of the present utility model shall all fall within the scope covered by the patent of the present utility model.
