Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of heat exchangers, in particular to a simple and efficient shell-and-tube heat exchanger. Background Art
[0002] The shell-and-tube heat exchanger, also known as the tubular heat exchanger, is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger with the wall surface of the tube bundle enclosed in the shell as the heat transfer surface, and mainly consists of components such as a shell, a heat transfer tube bundle, a tube sheet and a baffle plate.
[0003] At present, the tube bundle of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger is usually a direct-flow tube with a straight flow, which results in a small heat transfer surface of the tube bundle and poor heat exchange effect. Therefore, it is necessary to install more tube bundles in the tube box to increase the heat transfer surface, which is rather cumbersome and inconvenient, not conducive to the simple and rapid installation of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger and with low heat exchange efficiency. Therefore, improvement is still needed. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The utility model provides a simple and efficient shell-and-tube heat exchanger to solve the above-mentioned problems, including a shell, a heat transfer tube bundle, a tube sheet and a baffle plate. Sliding grooves are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the inside of the shell. A hollow fixed frame is installed outside the heat transfer tube bundle. Insertion strips are arranged on the left and right sides of the hollow fixed frame, and the insertion strips are arranged in a T-shaped structure. The hollow fixed frame is fixed on the upper and lower sides inside the shell by inserting the insertion strips into the sliding grooves. A plurality of baffle plates are provided, and the plurality of baffle plates are installed between the two hollow fixed frames inside the shell. A support heat transfer tube penetrates through the center position of the baffle plate. The tube sheet includes a front tube sheet and a rear tube sheet, and the front tube sheet and the rear tube sheet are respectively arranged at the front and rear ends of the shell. The front tube sheet and the rear tube sheet have the same structure. A plurality of flow dividing tubes are connected and arranged on both the front tube sheet and the rear tube sheet. The flow dividing tubes on the front tube sheet are communicated with the cold medium inlet, the flow dividing tubes on the rear tube sheet are communicated with the cold medium outlet, and the flow dividing tubes on the front tube sheet and the rear tube sheet are respectively communicated with the two heat transfer tube bundles and the support heat transfer tube.
[0005] Preferably, both the shell and the baffle plate are irregular cylindrical structures with straight upper and lower edges and arc-shaped left and right edges. Notch openings are formed on the upper and lower sides of the baffle plate. A hot medium inlet and a hot medium outlet are arranged on the shell.
[0006] Preferably, the heat transfer tube bundle is arranged as a bent tube with an S-shaped structure.
[0007] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: The structure of the utility model is reasonably designed and convenient to use. The S-shaped tube bundle can increase the flow time of the medium in the tube bundle, improve the heat transfer surface of the tube bundle, and further improve the heat exchange efficiency of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger. At the same time, the utility model can also facilitate the rapid installation of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
