Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchanger cleaning, and specifically, to a cleaning device for a heat exchanger. Background Art
[0002] A heat exchanger is a device that transfers part of the heat of a hot fluid to a cold fluid, also known as a heat exchanger. Heat exchangers play an important role in many industrial productions such as chemical industry, petroleum, power, food and others. In chemical production, heat exchangers can be used as heaters, coolers, condensers, evaporators and reboilers, etc., and are widely used. And during the long-term use of heat exchangers, phased cleaning work needs to be carried out on them. Therefore, how to ensure the cleaning efficiency of heat exchangers is an urgent problem to be solved at present.
[0003] After retrieval, the cleaning device for a heat exchanger with the publication number of CN219977218U is disclosed, belonging to the technical field of heat exchanger cleaning. The device includes: a housing; a cleaning component, which is arranged and connected to the inner top of the housing for cleaning the heat exchanger; a controller, which is connected to the outer wall of the housing; a cleaning table, which is arranged at the inner bottom of the housing for placing the heat exchanger; and a pair of fixing components, which are symmetrically arranged and connected to the cleaning table for fixing the heat exchanger placed on the cleaning table. By combining multiple groups of long hair brushes and high-pressure nozzles, the cleaning degree of the surface of the heat exchanger can be improved; and by setting fixing components with adjustable spacing, heat exchangers of different sizes can be clamped, making the cleaning device more widely applicable. Moreover, the device has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost and strong practicability.
[0004] The above-mentioned cleaning device for a heat exchanger completes the cleaning work of the heat exchanger by lightly brushing the outside of the heat exchanger to be cleaned with long hair brushes in the housing. However, in this design, the long hair brushes can only lightly brush the upper surface of the heat exchanger and cannot lightly brush the side surface of the heat exchanger in a circular shape, which easily leads to ineffective cleaning of the sanitary dead corners on the surface of the heat exchanger. At the same time, the cleaning water in this design is directly discharged after being combined with the light brushing, which will result in a large amount of waste of cleaning water resources.
