Then, sealing tape is wound around the outer wall of the external thread tube 10. Further, due to the setting of the sealed rotary joint 14, the internal thread tube 15 can be rotated, and the hose 13 can be kept from rotating. And because the hose 13 is flexible, the internal thread tube 15 can be tightened and fixed on the outer wall of the external thread tube 10, and the sealing tape is used to prevent liquid leakage, and the installation is completed;

[0021] When heat exchange is to be carried out, the coolant will enter the interior of the left manifold 4 through the input pipe, then enter the interiors of the multiple heat exchange tubes 3, and then flow into the interior of the right manifold 5. Subsequently, the coolant will flow out from the output pipe. At the same time, the gas to be cooled will enter the interior of the cylinder body 1 from the intake pipe, and the gas will come into contact with the multiple heat exchange tubes 3, thereby enabling the gas to be refrigerated. The refrigerated gas will be discharged from the exhaust pipe;

[0022] When it is necessary to defrost the outer walls of the multiple heat exchange tubes 3, the hot air blower 12 blows hot air into the interiors of the hose 13, the external thread pipe 10, the vent pipe 8, and the air collecting cylinder 6, and blows it onto the outer walls of the multiple heat exchange tubes 3 through the multiple uniformly distributed one-way jet nozzles 7.

By providing the fourth flange pipe, it is convenient to connect the outlet pipe.

[0029] As a technical optimization scheme of the present utility model, both ends of the multiple heat exchange tubes 3 penetrate through two mounting plates 2 respectively.

[0030] In this embodiment: By making both ends of multiple heat exchange tubes 3 penetrate through two mounting plates 2 respectively, it is convenient for the coolant to flow from the left collector hood 4 into the interiors of the multiple heat exchange tubes 3, and it is also convenient for the coolant to flow from the multiple heat exchange tubes 3 into the interior of the right collector hood 5.

[0031] As a technical optimization scheme of the present utility model, a hexagonal nut 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the internal thread tube 15.

[0032] In this embodiment: By providing the hexagonal nut 18, it is convenient to tighten the internal thread tube 15 with a wrench.

[0033] Working principle: During use, first, the right collector hood 5 is fixedly connected to the right end of the cylinder body 1 through two flange plates and multiple bolts, and then the left collector hood 4 is fixedly connected to the left end of the cylinder body 1 through two flange plates and multiple bolts. At this time, the O-ring 17 is just tightly pressed against the left side of the inner wall of the left collector hood 4, so that the coolant inside the left collector hood 4 can be prevented from leaking during operation through the O-ring 17. At the same time, the ventilation pipe 8 enters the inside of the through-hole 9, and the external thread tube 10 passes through the through-hole 9.

Thus, the frost layer on the outer walls of the multiple heat exchange tubes 3 can be melted by the hot air. At the same time, the discharge valve pipe 19 is opened to discharge the gas and the melted water can also be discharged. Therefore, in this way, the purpose of facilitating the reduction of the defrosting duration to improve work efficiency and being not restricted by the ambient temperature during defrosting can be achieved.

[0036] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
