AI Technical Summary
When the piston gas compressor is running at high pressure, the thermodynamic efficiency decreases due to the significant increase in the gas temperature, and existing cooling technologies are difficult to effectively cool down.
A casing-type heat exchanger is adopted, including an inner pipe and an outer pipe. The inner pipe is a high-pressure gas transmission pipe. By counter-current cooling water with high-temperature and high-pressure gas, the temperature of the air press is effectively reduced.
It significantly reduces the operating temperature of the air compressor and ensures the thermodynamic efficiency of the gas compressor.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a cooler, specifically a cooler for cooling a running piston-type gas compressor unit. Background Art
[0002] Piston-type high-pressure gas compressors have been widely used in key fields such as petrochemical industry, gas separation, energy development, and refrigeration industry, becoming the core equipment to support the efficient operation of the modern industrial system. In the process of petrochemical reactions, higher pressures are often required to increase the reaction rate. For example, in the processes of ammonia synthesis, methanol production, and petroleum cracking, high pressure can not only increase the conversion rate of products but also reduce the energy consumption requirements in subsequent process steps. For a gas compressor system, as air or other raw material gases are compressed, their internal energy increases, which in turn leads to a significant increase in gas temperature. Excessive temperature will significantly affect the thermodynamic efficiency of the gas compressor.
[0003] A double-pipe heat exchanger is composed of concentric double pipes connected by two standard pipes of different sizes, including an inner pipe and an outer pipe. Each pipe has two pipe joints, including two outer joints of the inner pipe. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To enable the gas compressor to always maintain the best operating state, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a cooler for a piston-type gas compressor unit.
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is achieved as follows: It includes a double-pipe heat exchanger, which includes an inner pipe and its two outer joints. The inner pipe is a high-pressure gas transmission pipe that can withstand a pressure not greater than 250 MPa. Each outer joint of the inner pipe consists of a pipe joint and a threaded flange. The pipe joint has an external thread, and its sealing surface is conical. The threaded flange is installed on the external thread of the pipe joint.
[0006] During use, the utility model is set at the position of the high-pressure stage exhaust port of the gas compressor unit. The exhaust port and the intake port of the unit each have an outer joint, and the outer joints of the exhaust port and the intake port are the same as the outer joints of the inner pipe. The outer joint of the exhaust port of the unit is docked with the outer joint of the intake end of the inner pipe located at the upper end of the cooler, that is, the two threaded flanges are connected by bolts; the outer joint of the intake port of the unit is docked with the outer joint of the outlet end of the inner pipe located at the lower end of the cooler, that is, the two threaded flanges are connected by bolts; the outer pipe of the utility model is connected to the cooling water set outside the system. The cooling water enters the outer pipe from the lower end of the cooler and flows out from the upper end of the outer pipe. The cooling water and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas of the unit exchange heat in a countercurrent manner in the utility model, and the cooling water takes out the heat of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas of the unit.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, the positive effect of the utility model is that it significantly reduces the temperature during the operation of the gas compressor unit and ensures the thermodynamic efficiency of the gas compressor. Brief Description of the Drawings
