Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, and specifically relates to a fin heat exchanger capable of automatically removing scale. Background Technology
[0002] The finned tube heat exchanger is a common heat exchange device, which is widely used in many industries, including air conditioning, cooling, heating, chemical industry, and pharmacy. The working principle of the finned tube heat exchanger is that the fluid flows inside the tube bundle, and the heat is transferred from the fluid inside the tube to the fluid outside the tube. The fins can increase the outer surface area of the tube, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency. The advantages of the finned tube heat exchanger include high heat transfer efficiency, small occupied space, high reliability, and convenient maintenance. However, there are also some disadvantages. The concentration of Ca(HCO3)2 in the circulating cooling water will increase with the increase of the use time of the heat exchanger. When the concentration reaches the saturation state or the water temperature on the surface of the heat exchanger rises, it will decompose into CaCO3 and precipitate in the form of scale on the heat transfer surface of the heat exchanger, forming a dense scale, which reduces the heat transfer efficiency of the heat exchanger.
