The medium inlet pipe 16 and the hot medium inlet pipe 13 are connected to the heat source (such as a heating system or a heat pump, etc.), and the hot medium outlet pipe 14 is connected to the heat medium return system to return to the circulation loop of the heat source. The cold medium inlet pipe 16 is usually connected to the equipment or system that needs to be cooled, such as a cooling water circulation system or a refrigeration system, and the cold medium outlet pipe 15 is connected to the cooling medium return system to return to the cooling equipment or system. A No. 1 sealing head 11 is installed at the end of the tank body 1 close to the mounting plate 22, and a No. 2 sealing head 12 is installed at the end of the tank body 1 away from the No. 1 sealing head 11. A head partition 17 is fixed in the No. 1 sealing head 11, which can isolate the liquid in the No. 1 sealing head 11, so that the hot medium circulates in the U-shaped pipe 21 to facilitate heat exchange.

[0032] Working principle: First, connect the hot medium inlet pipe 13 to the heat source (such as a heating system or a heat pump, etc.), and the hot medium outlet pipe 14 is connected to the hot medium return system to return to the circulation loop of the heat source. The cold medium inlet pipe 16 is usually connected to the equipment or system that needs to be cooled, such as a cooling water circulation system or a refrigeration system, and the cold medium outlet pipe 15 is connected to the cooling medium return system to return to the cooling equipment or system. Then the hot medium enters the No. 1 sealing head 11 through the hot medium inlet pipe 13, and then enters the inner wall of the pipe through a section of the U-shaped pipe 21. The cold medium enters the tank body 1 through the cold medium inlet pipe 16. At this time, the U-shaped The hot medium in the pipe 21 contacts the cold medium in the tank body 1, thereby completing the heat exchange. When a U-shaped pipe 21 is blocked and damaged, the No. 1 sealing head 11 and the No. 2 sealing head 12 can be removed, and then the threaded buckle 26 can be removed, and then the screw 32 can be removed. Then the U-shaped tube assembly 2 can be removed from the tank body 1. After the disassembly is completed, the damaged U-shaped pipe 21 can be removed from the connecting plate 3, and then the damaged U-shaped pipe 21 can be replaced. This avoids the interruption of fluid circulation when a single U-shaped pipe 21 is blocked, resulting in a decrease in heat exchange efficiency and an increase in pressure, which may cause system failure and increase maintenance costs.
