[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, in particular to a leak detection gun for heat exchanger tube bundles in petrochemical plants. Background Technique

[0002] A heat exchanger is a heat exchange device used to transfer heat from one fluid to another fluid without the two fluids coming into direct contact. It is widely used in various industrial fields, such as electric power, chemical industry, petroleum, food processing, etc. There are many types of heat exchangers, and common types include: tubular heat exchangers, plate heat exchangers, spiral plate heat exchangers, etc. Among them, the tubular heat exchanger is the most common type. It consists of a group of tubes, with one fluid flowing inside the tubes and the other fluid flowing outside the tubes. No matter what type of heat exchanger, its working principle is based on the basic principle of heat transfer, that is, heat is transferred from a high-temperature object to a low-temperature object. In a heat exchanger, heat is transferred from one fluid to another fluid until the temperatures of the two fluids reach equilibrium.

Specific embodiments

[0024] The present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The embodiments of the present utility model include but are not limited to the following embodiments.

[0025] First embodiment:

[0026] As Figures 1-5 shown, a leak detection gun for the heat exchanger tube bundle of the petrochemical device provided by the present utility model is shown, where Figure 1 shown is a type of tubular heat exchanger, and its tube bundle is U-shaped, Figure 1Shown are its wire harness and a detection mechanism 100 for inspecting the airtightness of the wire harness. The detection mechanism 100 includes a cover body 103. The cover body 103 is flange-connected to a mounting plate 202 provided with a heat exchange tube 201 and fixed by bolts 116. A partition 104 is provided inside the cover body 103. A first air pipe 101 and a second air pipe 102 are mounted on the cover body 103. The medium for inspecting the airtightness of the wire bundle is air. The air enters from the first air pipe 101, flows through the wire bundle, and then goes to the second air pipe 102. When the end of the second air pipe 102 is blocked, as the air in the first air pipe 101 continuously enters, the air will be compressed in the wire bundle, and the pressure inside the pipe will increase. Based on this, the airtightness of the wire harness is detected. Specifically, a fixing plate 105 is mounted at the upper end of the first air pipe 101. The fixing plate 105 is in two pieces, and the two fixing plates 105 are connected by a connecting rod 106. This part forms a support frame fixed at the end of the first air pipe 101. A threaded rod 108 is provided on the upper fixing plate 105. A sealing chamber 109 is movably provided at the lower end of the threaded rod 108. A bearing is also provided between the threaded rod 108 and the sealing chamber 109. The end of the threaded rod 108 is mounted on the inner ring of the bearing. A turning handle 107 is provided at the upper end of the threaded rod 108. When the turning handle 107 rotates, it drives the threaded rod 108 to rotate. While the threaded rod 108 rotates on the fixing plate 105, its end moves downward and pushes the sealing chamber 109 downward until the sealing chamber 109 is pressed against a fixing plate 105 located below. This fixing plate 105 is annular and is mounted at the upper end of the first air pipe 101. A valve 110 is provided on the sealing chamber 109. An air inlet 111 and an air outlet 112 are provided on the valve 110. The air inlet 111 is connected to an external air pipe and pumps air inward. The air outlet 112 communicates with the sealing chamber 109. As Figure 1 shown by the arrow direction, the air enters the sealing chamber 109 from the air outlet 112 and then is discharged from the second air pipe 102 after passing through the heat exchange tube 201. Since the second air pipe 102 is closed, the air is squeezed inside the pipe. Then the valve 110 is closed to stop inflation. Finally, the device and the heat exchange tube 201 are placed in a water tank to observe bubbles or use a stethoscope to listen for any air leakage sound to determine the airtightness of the pipe.

[0027] By providing the cover body 103 and related components, the air inside the cover body 103 can be injected into all the wire harnesses at one time. Compared with the existing method of using an injection gun head to inject air, there is no need to set up a gun head and the position of the gun head, which is convenient to operate and has a wide range of applicability.

[0028] Second Embodiment:

[0029] As Figure 3As shown, the partition 104 extends outward beyond the edge of the cover 103 and protrudes a certain length away from the cover 103. A groove is provided at the corresponding position of the mounting plate 202, and the partition 104 is adapted to the groove. When the cover 103 is connected to the mounting plate 202, the end of the partition 104 is embedded in the groove on the mounting plate 202, and the partition 104 divides the internal space of the cover 103 into two spaces.

[0030] By setting grooves and other related components, the connection effect between the partition 104 and the cover 103 is enhanced.

[0031] Third Embodiment:

[0032] As Figure 4 shown, the throttle grip 107 is a hollow cylindrical shape.

[0033] By inserting a long rod such as a steel pipe into the throttle grip 107, the torque is increased, making it convenient for the staff to tighten the sealing chamber 109 with less force.

[0034] Fourth Embodiment:

[0035] As Figure 4 shown, a pressure gauge 113 is provided on the sealing chamber 109. The pressure gauge 113 can not only directly read the pressure value inside the sealing chamber 109, but also judge the bundle tightness by comparing the change of the reading of the pressure gauge 113 over a period of time after the valve 110 is closed.

[0036] Fifth Embodiment:

[0037] As Figure 4 shown, a connecting rod is provided on the outer wall of the sealing chamber 109, and a fixing ring 114 is provided at the end of the connecting rod. The fixing ring 114 is slidably sleeved on the connecting rod 106, and the outer wall of the connecting rod 106 is smooth. The function of the fixing ring 114 and the connecting rod is to restrict the slight rotation of the sealing chamber 109 driven by the rotation of the threaded rod 108, and only allow it to move in the vertical direction.

[0038] Sixth Embodiment:

[0039] As Figure 5 shown, a plug 115 is threadedly installed at the opening of the second air pipe 102. The plug 115 installed on the second air pipe 102 can seal the opening to prevent air from overflowing from the opening of the second air pipe 102. At the same time, the threaded connection method facilitates the installation and disassembly of the plug 115.

[0040] Working Principle: By setting the cover 103 and related components, the air in the cover 103 can be injected into all the wire harnesses at one time.

[0041] The above embodiments are only one of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be used to limit the protection scope of the present utility model. Any modification or polishing that has no substantial meaning made on the main design concept and spirit of the present utility model, as long as the technical problems solved are still consistent with those of the present utility model, shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
