Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of magnetic suspension heat pumps, and more specifically, to a falling film heat exchanger for a magnetic suspension heat pump. Background Art

[0002] A magnetic levitation heat pump is a heat pump unit that uses a magnetic levitation bearing drive. Using magnetic levitation bearings to drive the mechanical bearings can effectively reduce friction during shaft rotation and improve transmission efficiency. It is used in conjunction with a corresponding heat exchanger in the entire heat pump system. Currently, the most common heat exchanger is a falling film heat exchanger. In a falling film heat exchanger, the feed liquid is added from the upper tube box of the falling film evaporator's heating chamber. Through a liquid distribution and film-forming device, it is evenly distributed to each heat exchange tube. Under the influence of gravity, vacuum induction, and airflow, the feed liquid flows from top to bottom in a uniform film. During the flow process, the feed liquid is heated and vaporized by the shell-side heating medium. The generated steam and liquid phase enter the separation chamber of the evaporator together. After sufficient separation of the vapor and liquid, the steam enters the condenser for condensation or enters the next-effect evaporator as a heating medium, thus achieving multi-effect operation. The liquid phase is discharged from the separation chamber to improve heat exchange efficiency.

[0003] The common falling film heat exchanger is a vertical heat exchanger, and a corresponding guide plate is provided above the inside of the shell to separate the liquid. The guide plate is an important component of the heat exchanger and needs to be cleaned after long-term use. However, the existing heat exchanger shell is mostly an integrated structure or is made of bolts and flanges. This makes it extremely inconvenient to clean or replace the guide plate.

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention; it is obvious that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Example:

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, a falling film heat exchanger for a magnetic levitation heat pump includes a heat exchanger shell 1 and an end cover 6. The heat exchanger shell 1 is arranged vertically so that the liquid can flow downward along the inner wall of the heat exchange tube 9 due to its own weight. A liquid outlet 4 is provided at the bottom of the heat exchanger shell 1 to collect and discharge the liquid after heat exchange. A steam inlet 5 is provided above one side of the heat exchanger shell 1. Heat exchange tubes 9 are evenly arranged inside the heat exchanger shell 1. The heat exchange tubes 9 are arranged vertically. A guide plate 8 is provided above the inside of the heat exchanger shell 1. The top of the heat exchange tube 9 passes through the guide plate 8 to ensure that when the liquid flows downward, it can first cover the entire guide plate 8. When the liquid level is higher than the heat exchange tube 9, it can flow downward along the inner wall of the heat exchange tube 9. The end cover 6 is placed above the heat exchanger shell 1. A liquid separation cavity is formed between the heat exchanger shell 1 and the end cover 6. A liquid inlet 7 is provided on the top of the end cover 6. Extension rods 1 are symmetrically provided below both sides of the end cover 6. 0, the extension rod 10 is placed on the outside of the heat exchanger shell 1, and an inclined groove 11 is provided on the outer surface of the extension rod 10. An outer convex ring 13 is provided above the surface of the heat exchanger shell 1. The two extension rods 10 pass through the outer convex ring 13, so that the end cover 6 can only move in the vertical direction to realize the installation or removal of the end cover 6. A control ring 15 is rotatably installed inside the outer convex ring 13. The control ring 15 does not contact the surface of the heat exchanger shell 1, and a gap is left between the two. The inner surface of the control ring 15 is symmetrically provided with fixing bolts 151, which are adapted to the inner size of the inclined groove 11. Since the control ring 15 can only rotate, the fixing bolts 151 are of the same height. When the control ring 15 rotates, the inclined groove 11 can be squeezed by the fixing bolts 151 to drive the end cover 6 to move up and down. When the end cover 6 is installed, the fixing bolts 151 can be offset from the installation range of the extension rod 10.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the contact surface between the heat exchanger shell 1 and the end cover 6 is stepped. A sealing ring 12 is glued to the upper surface of the heat exchanger shell 1, and the lower end surface of the end cover 6 contacts the sealing ring 12. The sealing ring 12 can increase the sealing performance of the two to prevent steam leakage.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 An open groove 17 is provided on the front side of the outer convex ring 13, and a boss 16 is provided on the outside of the control ring 15. The boss 16 passes through the open groove 17, and the boss 16 can only slide inside the open groove 17. The boss 16 increases the thickness of the control ring 15 and at the same time makes the control ring 15 rotate only within a certain range to facilitate the installation of internal parts. Limiting convex teeth 14 are evenly provided on the outer side of the heat exchanger shell 1. The limiting convex teeth 14 are distributed in a fan shape, and the distribution area coincides with the open groove 17, so that the boss 16 corresponds to the limiting convex teeth 14 regardless of its position. A mounting hole 18 is provided on the inside of the boss 16, and the mounting hole 18 corresponds to the position of the limiting convex teeth 14.

[0028] Among them, a wedge block 19 is slidably installed inside the boss 16, and the end of the wedge block 19 is engaged with the limiting convex tooth 14, and the control ring 15 is limited by the dynamic cooperation of the two. The direction of the inclined surface at the end of the wedge block 19 ensures that the extension rod 10 moves smoothly when it moves down and cannot move in the opposite direction, so as to achieve the fixation of the end cover 6. A pull-twist 21 is provided on the outside of the wedge block 19, and the pull-twist 21 passes through the outer surface of the boss 16, which is convenient for controlling the wedge block 19 from the outside. A spring 20 is provided on the surface of the pull-twist 21, and the spring 20 is placed inside the mounting hole 18. One end of the spring 20 contacts the wedge block 19, and the elastic force of the spring 20 is used to ensure that the wedge block 19 always keeps in cooperation with the limiting convex tooth 14 in the corresponding position and cannot move in the opposite direction.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a gas phase channel 3 is connected to the lower side of the heat exchanger shell 1, and a separator 2 is connected to the end of the gas phase channel 3 away from the heat exchanger shell 1 to guide the steam so as to facilitate the recycling of the steam.

[0030] Working principle: Connect the liquid pipeline to be heat exchanged with the liquid inlet 7 and pass it into the end cover 6. After the liquid enters the liquid separation chamber, it gradually covers the guide plate 8. When the liquid level reaches a certain height, the liquid can flow downward along the inner wall of the heat exchange tube 9. At this time, steam is introduced into the heat exchanger shell 1 through the steam inlet 5 to heat the heat exchange tube 9. The liquid flows downward and flows out through the liquid outlet 4 after heat exchange, while the steam flows into the separator 2 through the gas phase channel 3 for separation. When the guide plate 8 needs to be inspected and maintained, the pull-twist 21 can be pulled so that the wedge block 19 is no longer in contact with the limit convex tooth 1 4, the control ring 15 is controlled to rotate by pulling and twisting 21. At this time, the extension rod 10 can be controlled to move upward by the cooperation of the fixing bolt 151 and the inclined groove 11, thereby realizing the separation of the end cover 6 from the heat exchanger shell 1. When the fixing bolt 151 completely exceeds the inclined groove 11, the liquid inlet 7 can be separated, so that the end of the heat exchanger shell 1 is open, and the guide plate 8 is completely exposed. Conversely, when installing the end cover 6, the control ring 15 can be rotated to drive the fixing bolt 151 to rotate, and then the extension rod 10 can be pressed downward by cooperating with the inclined groove 11, thereby causing the end cover 6 to move downward to squeeze the sealing ring 12, thereby improving the sealing performance.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention; however, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art who, within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, makes equivalent substitutions or modifications based on the technical solutions and improved concepts of the present invention shall be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
