[0002] A heat exchanger is an indispensable device for realizing heat exchange and transfer in the chemical production process. In heat exchange, there are often some materials with strong corrosiveness and oxidizing properties. Therefore, the materials used to manufacture heat exchangers are required to have strong anti-corrosion performance. The polytetrafluoroethylene heat exchanger is abbreviated as the tetrafluoro heat exchanger. It is a heat exchanger with small-diameter polytetrafluoroethylene hoses as heat transfer components, also known as a flexible tube heat exchanger. The tetrafluoro heat exchanger is mainly used for heat exchange of various strongly corrosive media, such as sulfuric acid, strongly corrosive chloride solutions, acetic acid, and caustic media for cooling or heating.

[0003] At present, when connecting the joint of the tetrafluoroethylene heat exchanger with the external pipe, usually only one sealing gasket or sealing strip is used for sealing. Due to the complex working environment of the tetrafluoroethylene heat exchanger, it often faces challenges such as high temperature, high pressure, or corrosive media. One sealing gasket or sealing strip may not be able to fully adapt to these harsh conditions. After long-term use, the sealing gasket or sealing strip may age, deform, or be damaged, resulting in a decline in sealing performance and thus leakage. Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a tetrafluoroethylene heat exchanger with good sealing performance to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.

The function of the drawings is to supplement the description of the text part of the specification, enabling people to intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but it cannot be understood as a limitation to the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , an embodiment of a tetrafluoroethylene heat exchanger with good sealing performance of the present utility model includes a heat exchanger shell 1, a joint 2 and a tube sheet 6 connected to the outside of the heat exchanger shell 1. One end of the joint 2 opposite to the heat exchanger shell 1 is connected with an external connecting pipe 3 through a flange 4. A first sealing component and a second sealing component are respectively arranged inside and outside the flange 4 at the connection of the joint 2 and the external connecting pipe 3; the first sealing component includes two first sealing washers 7 embedded inside the flange 4, and the tube sheet 6 is attached between the two first sealing washers 7; the second sealing component includes a first circular ring plate 8, a second circular ring plate 9 and a second sealing washer 11 arranged between the first circular ring plate 8 and the second circular ring plate 9. The first circular ring plate 8 and the second circular ring plate 9 are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding flange 4;

[0026] The two first sealing washers 7 are respectively installed inside the flange 4. The tube sheet 6 is placed on the top of the lower first sealing washer 7. By fixing the flange 4 with bolts, the two first sealing washers 7 can be made to fit on the outside of the tube sheet 6 to seal the tube sheet 6. When the flange 4 is fixed, the second sealing washer 11 is clamped between the first circular ring plate 8 and the second circular ring plate 9. Thus, under the action of the second sealing washer 11, the connection of the flange 4 can be further sealed. The first sealing washer 7 and the second sealing washer 11 provided achieve double sealing at the connection of the joint 2 and the external connecting pipe 3, with better sealing effect, which can effectively prevent the leakage of the medium and has strong practicability.

[0027] The second sealing assembly further includes a fitting groove 10 formed inside the second circular ring plate 9 and a fitting portion 12 fixedly connected to the bottom of the second sealing washer 11. Both the fitting groove 10 and the fitting portion 12 are trapezoidal structures. When the second sealing washer 11 is clamped between the first circular ring plate 8 and the second circular ring plate 9, the trapezoidal fitting portion 12 is inserted into the fitting groove 10 in a matching manner, which can well increase the contact area between the second sealing washer 11 and the connection part, thereby improving the sealing effect of the connection part of the flange 4.

[0028] The first sealing assembly further includes two mounting grooves 5 formed inside the corresponding flanges 4. Both of the two first sealing washers 7 are connected to the corresponding mounting grooves 5 in a matching manner. The mounting grooves 5 are used to mount the first sealing washers 7, which can well position the first sealing washers 7 and at the same time enable the first sealing washers 7 to better fit on the surface of the tube sheet 6, thereby enhancing the sealing effect and preventing the leakage of the medium.

[0029] Both of the two first sealing washers 7 and the second sealing washer 11 are tetrafluoroethylene sealing rings. The first sealing washer 7 and the second sealing washer 11 made of polytetrafluoroethylene have good characteristics such as high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and anti-aging, so as to ensure the service life of the first sealing washer 7 and the second sealing washer 11 and good sealing effect.

[0030] The second sealing washer 11 and the fitting portion 12 are integrally formed. The integrally structured second sealing washer 11 and fitting portion 12 are convenient to manufacture, and the overall structure can reduce the connection part to reduce the risk of leakage.

[0031] The connection part of the second sealing washer 11 is flush with the flange 4. The second sealing washer 11 is installed at the connection part of the two flanges 4, which can ensure the sealing effect of the connection part.

[0032] Working principle: The two first sealing washers 7 are respectively installed inside the flanges 4. The tube sheet 6 is placed on the top of the lower first sealing washer 7. By fixing the flanges 4 with bolts, the two first sealing washers 7 can be made to fit on the outside of the tube sheet 6 to seal the tube sheet 6. When the flanges 4 are fixed, the second sealing washer 11 is clamped between the first circular ring plate 8 and the second circular ring plate 9. Thus, under the action of the second sealing washer 11, the connection part of the flanges 4 can be further sealed. The provided first sealing washer 7 and second sealing washer 11 achieve double sealing of the connection part between the joint 2 and the outer connecting pipe 3, with better sealing effect, effectively preventing the leakage of the medium and having strong practicability.
