DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] As shown in the figure, the utility model designs a box-type heat exchanger, which improves the heat exchange efficiency by arranging the heat exchanger in the water tank. Then, this box-type heat exchanger is applied to the air-type solar water heating system, which can effectively improve the heat exchange efficiency of the entire solar water heating system.

[0018] Example 1:

[0019] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown, a box-type heat exchanger includes a water tank 1. Support legs 11 are provided at the bottom of the water tank 1 to support the entire water tank 1.

[0020] A heat exchanger 3 is provided inside the water tank 1; an inlet 12 and a outlet 11 are respectively provided at the upper and lower parts of the water tank 1. The inlet 12 is used to inject water into the interior of the water tank 1. To achieve precise control, the inlet 12 and the outlet 11 are respectively adapted to be provided with an inlet valve 16 and an outlet valve 17; the outlet 11 is used to divert the heated liquid inside the water tank 1 to the outside.

[0021] The heat exchanger 3 is cylindrical, and a heat exchange chamber 31 is provided in the heat exchanger 3. The heat exchange chamber 31 is a closed structure. A plurality of heat exchange tubes 32 are vertically penetrated in the heat exchange chamber 31. Heat exchange fins are provided on the periphery of the heat exchange tubes 32. An air inlet 35 and an air outlet 34 are provided on the heat exchange chamber 31. A plurality of guide baffles 33 are provided inside the heat exchanger 3. In this embodiment, the air inlet 35 and the air outlet 34 are respectively provided at the upper and lower parts of the side walls of the heat exchange chamber 31. Three guide baffles 33 are provided inside the heat exchange chamber 31 at intervals and crosswise. Figure 2 As shown, this structure can constrain the airflow to flow in a serpentine shape in the heat exchange chamber 31 .

[0022] Furthermore, the water tank 1 is provided with an internal auxiliary heating device, which can be an electric heater or a fuel heater. In this embodiment, the auxiliary heating device is an electric heater 2. To improve heating efficiency, this electric heater 2 is a single heating tube or a heating row (containing two or more heating tubes), with a power supply interface 21 at the end of the heating row. By providing the electric heater 2, an electric auxiliary heating method in addition to thermal heating can be implemented.

[0023] An exhaust valve 14 is provided on the top of the water tank 1. After the water tank 1 is heated by the heat exchanger 3, when the temperature exceeds 100 degrees Celsius, in order to prevent the internal steam pressure from being too high, safe gas discharge can be achieved through the exhaust valve 14.

[0024] A sewage pipe 13 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 1 , and a switch is provided on the sewage pipe 13 . The user can clean the inside of the water tank 1 regularly to prevent excessive dirt inside the water tank 1 from clogging the sewage pipe 13 .

[0025] Example 2:

[0026] On the basis of Example 1, the present invention further discloses an air-type solar water heating system, which internally adopts the box-type heat exchanger disclosed in Example 1.

[0027] Its specific structure is as follows: it includes multiple solar thermal collection combinations 5, and the solar thermal collection combination 5 includes four headers 52. Adjacent headers 52 are connected by double-way pipes 51. The headers 52 at the head and tail extend out air inlet pipes 54 and air outlet pipes 53 respectively, and are connected to the circulating fan 55 and the heat exchanger 3 through the air inlet pipe 54 and the air outlet pipe 53. This connection structure can conduct the heat collected by the solar thermal collection combination 5 to the box-type heat exchanger inside the water tank 1.

[0028] More specifically, inside water tank 1, heat exchanger 3 is provided with an air inlet 35 and an air outlet 34. Air inlet 35 is connected to a circulating fan 55 and an air outlet duct 53, while air outlet 34 is directly connected to the air inlet duct 54 via a pipeline and controlled by a circulating switch 56 on the pipeline. This structure realizes a series connection between heat exchanger 3 and solar thermal collection assembly 5. During operation, the utility model collects heat from multiple solar thermal collection assemblies 5 exposed to sunlight, and the circulating fan 55 directs the heat flow into heat exchanger 3, thereby achieving heat exchange.

[0029] In the above heat exchange process, heat collection can be achieved when the light is strong. However, on rainy days or at night, the hot water cannot be heated by the solar heat collection combination 5, and the above equipment is at risk of not being able to operate. In order to make up for this technical disadvantage, the utility model makes the following improvements. On the basis of Example 1, a temperature sensor is provided on the water tank 1, which is connected to an external control device through the temperature sensor. In this embodiment, the external control device is a control computer 4. Usually, this temperature sensor is fixed inside the water tank 1. The control computer 4 is connected to the auxiliary heater to achieve auxiliary heating. The auxiliary heater is an electric heater 2. The electric heater 2 is provided with a power interface 21 connected to an external high-voltage power supply. The connection and fixation of the electric heater 2, the control computer 4 and the temperature sensor described above are all common technologies in this technical field. Those skilled in the art can fully implement this technology under the guidance of the above specification, and no more detailed description is given here.

[0030] In summary, this box-type heat exchanger is used in an air-type solar water heating system. It is combined with solar heat collection to form a hot water system, which can increase the contact area between liquid and high-temperature gas and improve heat exchange efficiency. It is an ideal box-type heat exchanger and air-type solar water heating system.
