[0019] The following describes the principles and features of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Figure 1 , the preferred embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail:

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model is preferably a new type of heat exchanger for preventing material deposition, comprising a support shell 1, the support shell 1 is hollow inside and forms a heat exchange chamber 2, and the support shell 1 is further provided with a shell-side inlet 3 and a shell-side outlet 4 communicating with the heat exchange chamber 2, an inner sleeve 8 is fixedly provided inside the heat exchange chamber 2, the inner sleeve 8 is open at both ends, and there is a gap between its two ends and the two ends of the heat exchange chamber 2, and there is also a gap between its sleeve wall and the inner wall of the support shell 1, and a heat exchange tube 5 is further provided in the heat exchange chamber 2 The heat exchange tube 5 is arranged in a serpentine shape in the heat exchange chamber 2, and both ends of the tube body respectively penetrate the support shell 1 and extend to the outside of the support shell 1 to form a tube-side inlet 6 and a tube-side outlet 7. The heat exchange tubes 5 at the tube-side inlet 6 and the tube-side outlet 7 are sealed and fixed to the support shell 1 at the penetration position. A stirrer is also provided in the heat exchange chamber 2. The stirrer is arranged at the end of the inner sleeve 8 and is used to drive the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange chamber 2 to stir in the radial cross section and squeeze the heat exchange medium into the inner sleeve 8 along the axial direction.

[0021] The design form of the agitator can be determined according to the needs. However, considering the dynamic sealing problem, in order to prevent the agitator from causing the risk of leakage of the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange chamber 2 during stirring, the present application optimizes the design of the traditional stirring form. The agitator includes a stirring component 13 and a driving component 15. The stirring component 13 is arranged in the heat exchange chamber 2, and the driving component 15 is arranged outside the heat exchange chamber 2. The driving component 15 is connected to the stirring component 13 through a magnetic coupling 14 and provides power to the stirring component 13. Specifically, the heat exchange chamber 2 is provided with a stirrer. A protective cover 9 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the support shell 1 at the end, and an equipment cabin 10 is fixedly provided at one end of the support shell 1 where the stirrer is provided, a driving chamber 11 is provided in the equipment cabin 10, and the driving chamber 11 and the heat exchange chamber 2 are independent of each other, and a supporting partition 12 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the equipment cabin 10 in the middle of the driving chamber 11, and the supporting partition 12 divides the driving chamber 11 into two chambers, the magnetic coupling 14 includes an inner magnetic pole 1402 provided in the protective cover 9 and an outer magnetic pole 1401 provided in the chamber on the side of the driving chamber 11 close to the heat exchange chamber 2, and the stirring group The component 13 includes an inner rotating shaft 1302 and a stirring blade 1301. One end of the inner rotating shaft 1302 is fixed at the axis position of the inner magnetic pole 1402, and the other end passes through the protective cover 9 and extends to the tube mouth of the inner sleeve 8. The inner rotating shaft 1302 is rotatably mounted on the protective cover 9 at the penetration position through the inner bearing 1303. The stirring blade 1301 is fixedly mounted on the end of the inner rotating shaft 1302 close to the inner sleeve 8. The driving assembly 15 includes a driving motor 1501 arranged in the chamber on the side of the driving chamber 11 away from the heat exchange chamber 2. The driving shaft of the driving motor 1501 is connected to the inner sleeve 8. The shaft is connected to an outer rotating shaft 1502, which passes through the support partition 12 and is rotatably mounted on the support partition 12 at the penetration position via an outer bearing 1503. The end of the outer rotating shaft 1502 extends to the axis of the outer magnetic pole 1401 and is fixedly connected to the outer magnetic pole 1401. The outer magnetic pole 1401 and the inner magnetic pole 1402 of the magnetic coupling 14 form a pair of magnetic dipoles, through which power is transmitted. In addition, the outer magnetic pole 1401 and the inner magnetic pole 1402 are physically isolated by the shell wall of the support shell 1, thereby avoiding leakage and safety issues.

[0022] In order to ensure that the inner sleeve 8 can form a stable vortex in the heat exchange chamber 2 in cooperation with the agitator after it is set, the distance between the two ends of the inner sleeve 8 and the two ends of the heat exchange chamber 2 is between 0.8 times and 1.2 times the maximum inner diameter of the inner sleeve 8. In this way, the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange chamber 2 can be gradually squeezed into the inner sleeve 8 under the action of the agitator, and then the heat exchange medium in the inner sleeve 8 flows along the inner sleeve 8 to the end of the inner sleeve 8 away from the agitator and is deflected and returned under the action of the end plate of the heat exchange chamber 2. Then, it flows back to the agitator along the channel between the inner sleeve 8 and the inner wall of the support shell 1, and then repeats the previous movement to form a vortex.

[0023] In order to make full use of the space of the heat exchange chamber 2, the shell-side inlet 3 and the shell-side outlet 4 are respectively located at the two ends of the heat exchange chamber 2 that are away from each other, and the tube-side inlet 6 and the tube-side outlet 7 are respectively located at the two ends of the heat exchange chamber 2 that are away from each other, and the shell-side inlet 3 and the shell-side outlet 4, as well as the tube-side inlet 6 and the tube-side outlet 7 are all arranged diagonally. Of course, depending on the purpose of heat exchange (i.e., whether a refrigerant or a heat medium is provided in the heat exchange chamber 2), the positions of the shell-side inlet 3 and the shell-side outlet 4 can be swapped. Similarly, the positions of the tube-side inlet 6 and the tube-side outlet 7 can also be swapped according to different needs.

[0024] The heat exchanger in the present invention can be set as a vertical structure or a horizontal structure according to the use requirements. Of course, in order to reduce the floor space and give full play to the functions of the agitator + inner sleeve 8, the vertical setting is better, that is, the equipment cabin 10 is fixed to the bottom end of the support shell 1, and the agitator is set at the bottom of the heat exchange chamber 2;

[0025] The heat exchange tubes 5 are interconnected heat exchange pipes arranged in the heat exchange chamber 2. Their specific location can be determined according to the heat exchange purpose and the flow pattern of the fluid in the heat exchange chamber 2. In order to reduce the adhesion of the heat exchange medium to the tube wall and reduce the flow resistance of the heat exchange medium, the heat exchange tubes 5 are preferably placed in the inner cavity of the inner sleeve 8 with a relatively large space and arranged in a serpentine shape with vertical folds.

[0026] For the purpose of convenient maintenance, the bottom end of the equipment compartment 10 can be set to be open or detachable. When open, the drive motor 1501 can be directly placed on the structural surface to achieve support through the structural surface.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] This embodiment is an example of sludge wet oxidation reaction. The reactor as a whole is a shell and tube heat exchanger with a cylindrical tank structure. The specifications are a total height of 7 meters, a diameter of 1.2 meters, and an effective height of 6 meters. The inner sleeve 8 is cylindrical, with a diameter of 1 meter and a height of 4 meters. It is 1 meter away from the upper and lower bottoms of the heat exchange chamber 2. The agitator power is 10 kwh, and the agitator shaft (inner rotating shaft 1302 and outer rotating shaft 1502) is made of 316 stainless steel. The moisture content of the material is 90%, the pH is 4-10, the pressure is 2-3 MPa, and the temperature is 60-250°C.

[0029] During specific operation, the cold sludge enters the heat exchange tube 5 from the tube side inlet 6, and flows out from the tube side outlet 7 after heat exchange. The returned hot sludge enters the heat exchange chamber 2 from the shell side inlet 3, and flows out from the shell side outlet 4 after heat exchange. The two cold and hot fluids in the tube side and shell side of the heat exchanger exchange heat to complete heat recovery; the sludge in the heat exchange chamber 2 is horizontally stirred by the stirring blade 1301, and is squeezed into the inner sleeve 8 from the bottom opening of the inner sleeve 8, and then moves upward along the inner sleeve 8 to the inner wall of the top end of the support shell 1 and turns back, and then flows downward through the channel formed by the inner wall of the support shell 1 and the outer wall of the inner sleeve 8, forming upper and lower vortexes, in which the sludge is suspended under the double stirring action, which solves the problem of sludge deposition on the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 5. The agitator and The setting of the inner sleeve 8 enhances the flow of sludge in the heat exchange chamber 2, thereby enhancing the heat exchange effect. The enhanced heat exchange effect further improves the fluidity of the sludge, making the rotation of the stirring blade 1301 and the inner rotating shaft 1302 smoother. The two promote each other. At the same time, the setting of the inner sleeve 8 promotes the generation of vortexes, improves the fluidity of sludge, and gives full play to the stirring function of the agitator. Moreover, the agitator is arranged at the bottom of the heat exchange chamber 2. Compared with the traditional rod-type agitator with the problems of overall penetration, large space occupation and low stirring intensity, the agitator is arranged at the bottom of the heat exchanger, which fully saves space. On the other hand, because the sludge is deposited below the heat exchange chamber 2, the agitator arranged below will further improve the stirring efficiency and produce a better stirring effect.

[0030] Of course, the heat exchange material of the present invention is not limited to fluidized sludge. All fluidized materials with similar characteristics, such as chemical fluids, can be applied. At the same time, the present invention has better applicability and superiority for heat exchange scenarios under high temperature, high pressure and acid-base environments.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
