Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of plate heat exchangers, and particularly relates to an anti-scaling plate-fin heat exchanger. Background Art

[0002] The plate-fin heat exchanger is a highly efficient and compact heat exchange device, which is widely used in various fields. The plate heat exchanger is composed of a series of metal sheets with a certain corrugated shape stacked together, and a narrow flow channel is formed between adjacent two sheets. Two fluids with different temperatures flow in adjacent flow channels respectively, and heat transfer is carried out through the metal sheets. There are mainly three ways of heat transfer: heat conduction, convective heat transfer and radiative heat transfer. In the plate heat exchanger, heat conduction is the main heat transfer method, that is, heat is transferred from the high-temperature fluid to the low-temperature fluid through the metal sheet. At the same time, due to the flow of the fluid in the flow channel, convective heat transfer will also occur, further enhancing the heat transfer effect.

[0003] However, during the use of the existing plate-fin heat exchanger, since the fluid directly contacts the inside of the plate-fin heat exchanger, during long-term use, impurities in the fluid will gradually deposit on the surface of the heat exchange fins, resulting in the accumulation of dirt on the surface of the heat exchange fins. Thus, when the fluid enters the inside of the heat exchanger, it cannot directly contact the heat exchange fins, thereby affecting the heat exchange effect. Therefore, an anti-scaling plate-fin heat exchanger is proposed. Summary of the Utility Model

[0009] The further improvement of the technical solution of the utility model lies in that: a filter plate is arranged inside the filtering box, a threaded column is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing cover, a pressing rod is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded column, and one end of the pressing rod is lapped on the surface of the filter plate.

[0025] In this embodiment, when heat exchange is carried out, the hot fluid and the cold fluid are respectively injected into the heat exchanger along the hot fluid pipe 231 and the cold fluid pipe 232. When passing through the filter box 21, under the action of the filter plate 24, impurities in the fluid are filtered to prevent impurities from entering the interior of the filter. At the same time, according to the amount of impurities in the fluid, an appropriate number of filter plates 24 can be installed in the filter box 21. Then rotate the pressing rod 26 to make the pressing rod 26 move along the threaded column 25 to adjust the position of the pressing rod 26. When the sealing cover 22 is installed on one side of the filter box 21, the pressing rod 26 can fix different numbers of filter plates 24.

[0026] Embodiment 2

[0027] As Figures 1-5 shown, on the basis of Embodiment 1, the present utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the heat exchange mechanism 3 includes a hot fluid inlet pipe 31 and a cold fluid inlet pipe 32. One end of the cold fluid inlet pipe 32 is fixedly connected with a heat exchange plate 33 with through holes on its surface. One end of the hot fluid inlet pipe 31 is fixedly connected with one side of the heat exchange plate 33. One end of the cold fluid inlet pipe 32 is fixedly connected with one side of another heat exchange plate 33. Fins 34 are fixedly connected to the surface of the heat exchange plate 33. A connecting pipe 35 is fixedly connected to one side of the heat exchange plate 33.

[0028] In this embodiment, after being filtered, the hot fluid enters through the hot fluid inlet pipe 31 and enters the second cavity formed by being separated by the adjacent heat exchange plates 33 from right to left (in accordance with Figure 3 ), enters from the upper left corner of this cavity, then enters the connecting pipe 35 from the lower right corner of this cavity, enters the fourth cavity through the connecting pipe 35, and then enters the sixth cavity from the upper left corner of the fourth cavity through the connecting pipe 35, and so on.

[0029] Embodiment 3

[0030] As Figures 1-5 shown, on the basis of Embodiment 1, the present utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, a hot fluid outlet 36 is fixedly connected to the inside of one end of the installation shell 1, one end of the hot fluid outlet 36 is fixedly connected to the surface of the heat exchange plate 33, a cold fluid outlet 37 is fixedly connected to the inside of one end of the installation shell 1, and one end of the cold fluid outlet 37 is fixedly connected to the surface of another heat exchange plate 33.

[0031] In this embodiment, the filtered cold fluid enters the first cavity along the cold fluid inlet pipe 32, enters from the upper right corner of this cavity, passes through the connecting pipe 35, enters the third cavity from the lower left corner, and then enters the fifth cavity from the upper right corner of the third cavity, and so on, so that the adjacent two cavities respectively flow hot fluid and cold fluid, and heat exchange is completed through the heat exchange plate 33.

When passing through the filter box 21, under the action of the filter plate 24, the impurities in the fluid are filtered to prevent the impurities from entering the interior of the filter. At the same time, according to the amount of impurities in the fluid, an appropriate number of filter plates 24 can be installed in the filter box 21. Then rotate the pressure rod 26 so that the pressure rod 26 moves along the threaded column 25 to adjust the position of the pressure rod 26. When the sealing cover 22 is installed on one side of the filter box 21, the pressure rod 26 can fix different numbers of filter plates 24. After being filtered, the hot fluid enters through the hot fluid inlet pipe 31 and enters from right to left (in accordance with Figure 3) In the second cavity formed by being separated by the adjacent heat exchange plates 33, it enters from the upper left corner of this cavity, then enters the connecting pipe 35 from the lower right corner of this cavity, enters the fourth cavity through the connecting pipe 35, and then enters the sixth cavity from the upper left corner of the fourth cavity through the connecting pipe 35, and so on. The filtered cold fluid enters the first cavity along the cold fluid inlet pipe 32, enters from the upper right corner of this cavity, passes through the connecting pipe 35, enters the third cavity from the lower left corner, and then enters the fifth cavity from the upper right corner of the third cavity, and so on. The adjacent two cavities respectively flow hot fluid and cold fluid, and heat exchange is completed through the heat exchange plate 33. At the same time, the diagonal flow path can also extend the retention time of the fluid in the heat exchanger, making the heat exchange effect better. The heated hot fluid is discharged from the hot fluid outlet 36, and the heated cold fluid is discharged from the cold fluid outlet 37.
