Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen fume waste heat recovery, in particular to a heat exchange unit for kitchen fume waste heat recovery and a kitchen fume waste heat recovery device. Background Art
[0002] The kitchen fume waste heat recovery device recycles the waste heat from kitchen fume. Patent document CN217209501U discloses a kitchen fume waste heat recovery device, which includes a fume hood. The bottom of the fume hood is provided with an air intake window facing the stove. The air intake window is provided with a fume filter for filtering the fume. The top of the fume hood is provided with an exhaust pipe connected to the kitchen flue. The fume hood is provided with an exhaust fan located above and a heat exchange unit located below. The heat exchange unit includes an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe. A plurality of heat exchange tubes are arranged in parallel between the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe. The cross-section of the heat exchange tube cavity is circular. A fume gap is left between two adjacent heat exchange tubes for the flow of fume. Each heat exchange tube is connected to the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe. The inlet pipe is connected to a cold water tank, and the outlet pipe is connected to a hot water tank. When the device is powered on, cold water from the cold water tank flows through the water inlet pipe into the heat exchange tubes. Simultaneously, the exhaust fan rotates, drawing kitchen fumes through the air inlet window into the fume hood. After being filtered through the fume filter, the fumes flow through the gap between the two heat exchange tubes, transferring their own heat to the cold water in the heat exchange tubes before being blown out the exhaust pipe. The cold water in the heat exchange tubes absorbs the heat from the fumes and is heated to hot water, which then flows out of the outlet pipe to the hot water tank for use in the kitchen. The device's heat exchange unit uses circular heat exchange tubes, which have the disadvantage of being thick, making it difficult for the fumes to transfer their own heat to the central axis of the tube, resulting in poor heating of the cold water in the center of the tube.

[0022] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0023] See Figure 1 The kitchen fume waste heat recovery device includes a fume hood 1, an air intake window 101 facing the stove is opened at the bottom of the fume hood 1, and a heat exchange unit 4 is installed at the air intake window 101. Figure 2 An exhaust pipe 2 connected to the kitchen flue is provided on the top of the smoke hood 1, and an exhaust fan 3 is provided between the exhaust pipe 2 and the heat exchange unit 4 inside the smoke hood 1 to discharge the smoke into the exhaust pipe 2.
[0024] See Figure 2 、 3 The heat exchange unit 4 of the kitchen fume waste heat recovery device includes a water outlet pipe 6 at the front, a water inlet pipe 5 at the rear, a left baffle pipe 16, a right baffle pipe 17, an upper plate 9, and a lower plate 8. The water outlet pipe 6, the water inlet pipe 5, the left baffle pipe 16, the right baffle pipe 17, the upper plate 9, and the lower plate 8 together form a heat exchange chamber for the fume to flow through. Figure 2 The lower plate 8 is used as the bottom wall of the heat exchange chamber, and a smoke inlet channel 10 leading to the heat exchange chamber is provided. Figure 6 , the smoke inlet channel 10 is tilted to the left. Figure 3 The upper plate 9 is used as the top wall of the heat exchange chamber and is provided with a smoke outlet channel 11 leading to the heat exchange chamber. Figure 7 The smoke inlet channel 10 and the smoke outlet channel 11 are inclined to the right. The inclination directions of the smoke inlet channel 10 and the smoke outlet channel 11 are opposite, providing rotation conditions for the smoke, so that the smoke can rotate and flow in the heat exchange chamber to form a vortex. Figure 4 , a plurality of heat exchange tubes 7 are arranged in parallel in the heat exchange chamber, and each heat exchange tube 7 is connected between the water inlet pipe 5 and the water outlet pipe 6. Figure 5, is a flat tube with a long axis of 15mm to 200mm and a short axis of 1.5mm to 20mm in cross section. The diameter of the circular tube in the prior art is 20mm to 30mm. The short axis of the heat exchange tube 7 is smaller than the diameter of the circular heat exchange tube in the background art. The end of the short axis is closer to the midpoint of the short axis, that is, the central axis of the tube, which makes it easier for the heat of the oil smoke to be transferred from the tube wall to the central axis of the tube. The inner cavity of the heat exchange tube 7 is divided into multiple heat exchange channels 71 arranged vertically in parallel. The ratio of the long axis to the short axis of the cross section of the heat exchange channel 71 is 1:1. Its shape is regular and symmetrical, fewer vortices are generated, and the pressure distribution is more uniform, thereby reducing the resistance to the fluid.
[0025] See Figure 2 The kitchen fume waste heat recovery device includes a cold water output device 14 for outputting cold water and a hot water recovery device 15 for receiving hot water. Both the cold water output device 14 and the hot water recovery device 15 are connected to a connecting pipe 13. Both the water inlet pipe 5 and the water outlet pipe 6 are equipped with a joint 12. The water inlet pipe 5 is connected to the connecting pipe 13 via the joint 12, thereby connecting to the cold water output device 14. The water outlet pipe 6 is connected to the connecting pipe 13 via the joint 12, thereby connecting to the hot water recovery device 15.
[0026] The heat exchange unit 4 has the function of recovering the waste heat from cooking fumes and also has the function of separating oil. After the kitchen fume waste heat recovery device is powered on, the cold water output device 14 and the exhaust fan 3 are started at the same time. The working process is as follows:
[0027] The cold water output device 14 outputs cold water, which flows through the connecting pipe 13 and the water inlet pipe 5 and then flows into each heat exchange tube 7. The exhaust fan 3 draws kitchen fumes from the smoke inlet channel 10 into the heat exchange chamber of the heat exchange unit 4. The fumes transfer their own heat to the cold water in the heat exchange tube 7. After the cold water absorbs the heat and is heated into hot water, it flows through the water outlet pipe 6, the joint 12, and the connecting pipe 13 and then flows to the hot water recovery device 15 for use in the kitchen. In this way, the heat exchange unit 4 recovers the waste heat of the fumes. After transferring heat, the fumes cool down, and some small particles of fumes will gather and condense into large particles of fumes. Because the smoke inlet channel 10 and the smoke outlet channel 11 are inclined in opposite directions, they provide conditions for the fumes to rotate. The fumes can rotate and flow in the heat exchange chamber of the heat exchange unit 4 to form a vortex. In this way, the large particles of fumes are thrown onto the wall of the heat exchange chamber under the action of centrifugal force. In this way, the heat exchange unit 4 can separate and filter the fumes. The filtered oil smoke is discharged to the exhaust pipe 2 by the exhaust fan 3 and then discharged through the kitchen flue.
[0028] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of patent protection. Those skilled in the art can make non-substantial changes or substitutions based on the present invention and still fall within the scope of patent protection.
