Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of a conical thin-wall heat exchange tube, in particular to a conical thin-wall heat exchange tube. Background Technique
[0002] The heat exchange tube is one of the components of the heat exchanger, which is placed inside the cylinder body and used for heat exchange between two media. Common materials include carbon steel, low alloy steel, stainless steel, copper, copper-nickel alloy, aluminum alloy, titanium, etc. In addition, there are also some non-metallic materials, such as graphite, ceramics, polytetrafluoroethylene, etc. When designing, appropriate materials should be selected according to the working pressure, temperature and medium corrosiveness, etc. The thin-wall heat exchange tube generally uses a thin-wall tube with a wall thickness of less than 3 mm, mainly to improve the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange tube, but there are problems in the production process, that is, it is very difficult to ensure the product quality for the welding between the heat exchange head and the tube sheet, which increases the production cost.
[0003] After retrieval, the Chinese utility model patent CN201488622U discloses a heat exchange tube with an inner conical tube end, which includes a thin-wall heat exchange tube. The characteristic is that the wall thickness of both ends of the heat exchange tube gradually decreases from the end inward within a range of 500 mm from the tube end until the thin wall thickness, and the middle part is the thin wall for main body heat exchange. The advantages of the utility model are not only to maintain the heat exchange efficiency of the thin-wall heat exchange tube, but also to solve the welding problem between the heat exchange tube and the tube sheet.
[0004] The technical solution in this application document still has deficiencies: by changing the wall thickness of both ends of the thin-wall heat exchange tube to solve the welding problem, the space inside the pipeline cavity is compressed, the resistance of the hot medium flow is increased, and the heat conduction performance of the thin-wall heat conduction tube is affected. Content of the Utility Model

Internal threads are provided on the inner wall of the inner channels of the heat exchange heads. The internal threads are screwed with the external threads. The conical heat exchange heads are provided with slot holes.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, external threads are set on the outer walls of the ports at both ends of the thin-walled heat exchange tube body, which cooperate with the internal threads set on the inner wall of the inner channel of the conical heat exchange head, so that the conical heat exchange head is installed on the ports at both ends of the thin-walled heat exchange tube body, and then welding operation is performed between the conical heat exchange head and the tube sheet to complete the welding and fixation between the thin-walled heat exchange tube body and the tube sheet. The slots opened in the conical heat exchange head allow foreign matter to enter the slots and exchange heat with the outer wall of the thin-walled heat exchange tube, which can increase the heat exchange efficiency between the heat medium in the thin-walled heat exchange tube body and the foreign matter, and reduce the problem that the thermal conductivity of the thin-walled heat conduction tube is affected by the overall tube wall thickness of the conical heat exchange head. The welding problem is solved by not changing the thickness of the tube wall at both ends of the thin-walled heat exchange tube, avoiding the problem that the compression of the inner cavity space of the pipeline increases the flow resistance of the heat medium and affects the thermal conductivity of the thin-walled heat conduction tube.
[0008] Preferably, the conical heat exchange head is conical, and the thickness of the conical heat exchange head located at the end of the outer wall of the thin-walled heat exchange tube gradually decreases toward the rear of the outer wall of the thin-walled heat exchange tube.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the conical heat exchange head is conical, and the thickness gradually decreases from the port of the outer wall of the thin-walled heat exchange tube to the rear of the outer wall of the thin-walled heat exchange tube. When welding, welding can be carried out from the thicker part of the conical heat exchange head tube wall to avoid the problem of easy welding through of the thin tube wall.
[0010] Preferably, the slots are arranged in a ring shape along the conical heat exchange head, the slots penetrate the outer wall of the thin-walled heat exchange tube, and the aperture depth of the slots changes with the thinness of the tube wall of the conical heat exchange head.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple groups of slots on the conical heat exchange head are arranged along the ring of the conical heat exchange head. The aperture depth of each group of slots arranged in the ring will change with the thinness of the tube wall of the conical heat exchange head. Foreign matter enters the slots and performs heat exchange with the outer wall of the thin-walled heat exchange tube, which can increase the heat exchange efficiency between the heat medium and foreign matter in the thin-walled heat exchange tube body, and reduce the problem that the thermal conductivity of the thin-walled heat transfer tube is affected by the overall tube wall thickness of the conical heat exchange head.
[0012] Preferably, the thin-walled heat exchange tube body includes an outer wall of the thin-walled heat exchange tube and an inner channel of the thin-walled heat exchange tube.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, heat medium flows through the inner channel of the thin-walled heat exchange tube, and the outer wall of the thin-walled heat exchange tube is made of a material with high thermal conductivity for heat exchange operation.
[0014] Preferably, the inner channel of the thin-walled heat exchange tube is connected to the inner channel of the heat exchange head.
[0015] Preferably, both ends of the thin-walled heat exchange tube body are equipped with conical heat exchange heads through external threads.
