Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of heat exchange devices, and more particularly, to a heat exchanger for energy-saving and efficient heat recovery. Background Art

[0002] Statistics show that in daily life, when we wash, shampoo, or take a shower, the water is generally heated to 40 - 45 degrees Celsius, and only about 8 degrees are consumed during use. The hot water discharged after use has a temperature of about 32 - 37 degrees Celsius. Normally, this part of the warm water will flow into the sewer in vain. At this time, not only the waste water but also the "heat" flows into the sewer, that is, a considerable amount of "waste heat" is wasted. If the "waste heat" can be effectively recovered and utilized, the heating time and cost can be greatly saved. No matter what type of water heater it is, in places with a large demand for hot water, the energy consumption is very large, and the requirements for electrical energy and supporting facilities are also getting higher and higher. Therefore, energy conservation is very important for daily use, and the emergence of the heat energy recovery device has greatly improved this situation.

[0003] The internal structure of the existing heat energy recovery device is composed of spiral corrugated pipes. When the machine is in use, since it is vertically installed, there is only a space for waste water to pass through in the middle, and heat exchange is only carried out by the surrounding spiral coils. When the flow rate is too fast, the waste water will flow away before the spiral coils can carry out heat exchange, resulting in low heat exchange efficiency. Moreover, its shape is relatively long. For example, most shampoo beds are not tall enough to install it; when the angle is inclined, the efficiency becomes low, and it is not suitable for special-shaped beds with an inclined angle.

[0050] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0051] Refer to Figures 1-5 , a heat exchanger for energy-saving and efficient heat recovery, including a housing 1 and a tube body 2; the tube body 2 is arranged inside the housing 1, and by adopting an assembled connection, it is more convenient (to disassemble) and clean. Waste water outlets 3 for the circulation of waste water pipes are provided on both the housing 1 and the tube body 2; a water outlet pipe 5 and a water inlet pipe 4 are provided on the tube body 2, and the water outlet pipe 5 and the water inlet pipe 4 respectively extend outside the housing 1.

[0052] The housing 1 includes an upper cover 6, a cylindrical barrel 7, and a lower cover 8; the upper cover 6 and the lower cover 8 are respectively arranged at both ends of the cylindrical barrel 7 and are in interference connection with the cylindrical barrel through plastic forming. The water outlet pipe 5 and the water inlet pipe 4 respectively extend outside the upper cover 6; the waste water port 3 is located on the upper cover 6, and an interface 9 for connecting with a waste water pipe is provided on the lower cover 8, and the interface 9 of the lower cover 8 is provided with a thread and is connected to the waste water pipe through the thread.

[0053] The cylindrical barrel 7 is made of a PVC pipe.

[0054] The pipe body 2 includes a first sealing plate 10, an upper water chamber stamping plate 11, a second sealing plate 12, a lower water chamber stamping plate 13, and heat exchange tubes 14; the upper water chamber stamping plate 11 and the lower water chamber stamping plate 13 are respectively detachably arranged inside the housing 1; the heat exchange tubes 14 have a smaller diameter and are arranged in a staggered (or in-line) arrangement of several pieces. Both ends of the heat exchange tubes 14 are connected to the first sealing plate 10 and the second sealing plate 12 by welding. The first sealing plate 10 is fixedly welded to the upper water chamber stamping plate 11, and the second sealing plate 12 is fixedly welded to the lower water chamber stamping plate 13. Among them, a first cavity is opened on the upper water chamber stamping plate 11, a second cavity is opened on the lower water chamber stamping plate 13, a water inlet 15 communicating with the water inlet pipe 4 is opened on the first cavity, and a water outlet 16 communicating with the water outlet pipe 5 is opened on the first cavity; both ends of some of the heat exchange tubes 14 are respectively communicated with the water outlet 16 of the first cavity and the second cavity, and both ends of some of the heat exchange tubes 14 are respectively communicated with the water inlet 15 of the first cavity and the second cavity.

[0055] In order to extend the heat exchange time of the water body (as shown by the arrow in the attachment Figure 3 ). On the basis of the above cavities, this application divides the first cavity into a first flow channel 17, a second flow channel 18, and a third flow channel 19. The second cavity is divided into a fourth flow channel 20 and a fifth flow channel 21; the water inlet 15 is located in the first flow channel 17, and the water outlet 16 is located in the second flow channel 18. So that both ends of some of the heat exchange tubes 14 are respectively communicated with the first flow channel 17 and the fourth flow channel 20, both ends of some of the heat exchange tubes 14 are respectively communicated with the fourth flow channel 20 and the third flow channel 19, both ends of some of the heat exchange tubes 14 are respectively communicated with the third flow channel 19 and the fifth flow channel 21, and both ends of some of the heat exchange tubes 14 are respectively communicated with the fifth flow channel 21 and the second flow channel 18. Among them, the cross-sectional area of the third flow channel 19 is larger than the cross-sectional areas of the first flow channel 17 and the second flow channel 18. Thus, the water body flows into the first flow channel 17 through the water inlet 15, flows into the fourth flow channel 20, the third flow channel 19, and the fifth flow channel 21, and finally flows out from the water outlet 16 on the second flow channel 18. The water flow reciprocates and turns back multiple times, making the heat dissipation more uniform, and thus the heat dissipation efficiency is higher. The heat exchange area increases, the heat exchange time becomes longer, the heating time is reduced, and energy is saved.

[0056] The first closing plate 10 and the second closing plate 12 are both provided with a first through hole 22 and a second through hole 23 for the heat exchange tube 14 to pass through.

[0057] A first sealing ring 24 is provided between the water inlet chamber stamping plate 11 and the water inlet pipe 4, and a second sealing ring 25 is installed between the water inlet chamber stamping plate 11 and the water outlet pipe 5. The sealing ring is made of a sealing gasket. The sealing ring material is made of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber or silica gel.

[0058] The heat exchange tube 14 is a φ5mm stainless steel heat exchange tube 14. And the row spacing between the heat exchange tubes 14 is between 8 and 15 mm, and the column spacing is between 8 and 15 mm. Using a small tube diameter, it has a smaller volume compared to the same heat exchange efficiency.

[0059] The tube body 2 further includes a baffle connection disk 26 and baffle plates 27; a plurality of third through holes 28 are provided on the baffle connection disk 26, and the baffle connection disk 26 is sleeved on the heat exchange tube 14 through the third through holes 28, and the baffle plates 27 are two and are fixedly arranged on the baffle connection disk 26. Among them, a round hole 29 for the waste water to pass through is provided on the baffle connection disk 26. The diameter of the third through hole 28 is larger than the outer diameter of the heat exchange tube 14. Through the setting of the baffle connection disk 26, it is convenient to fix the position of the heat exchanger and increase the flow path of the fluid in the housing 1, so that the fluid in the housing 1 is in full contact with the heat exchange tube 14 for heat exchange.

[0060] The baffle connection disk 26 can be replaced with different lengths according to different usage scenarios, generally between 0 and 30 mm. According to different usage scenarios, when there are more waste water sundries, a filter screen is also added in the middle part.

[0061] The baffle plate 27 is provided with a convex portion 30, and the baffle connection disk 26 is provided with a card slot 31 for the convex portion 30 to be inserted into.

[0062] The above description is only some preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and an explanation of the applied technical principles. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by the specific combination of the above technical features, and should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the above inventive concept. For example, the technical solutions formed by mutually replacing the above features with the technical features (but not limited to) having similar functions disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
