Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchanger seals, in particular to a seal for an assembled heat exchanger. Background Art

[0002] A plate-fin heat exchanger is a highly efficient heat exchange device. It consists of baffles, fins, and seals. The fins are the core heat exchange element and are typically available in various styles, including straight and serrated fins. Baffles divide the fins into different fluid channels, while seals seal the channels to prevent leakage. Two fluids at different temperatures flow through adjacent channels, transferring heat through the fins. The large surface area and high heat transfer coefficient of the fins enable efficient heat exchange. They offer advantages such as high heat transfer efficiency, compact structure, and strong adaptability.

[0011] Preferably, a heat dissipation hole is provided in the middle of the seal body.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] The utility model rotates the bidirectional screw, and the two sliders of the same group approach each other, and the distance between the first support plate and the second support plate becomes larger. The contact plate is moved, and the movable plate moves, and the first serrated surface and the second serrated surface move relatively, clamping the partition plate. At this time, the movable plate and the contact plate are fixed. After installation, the bidirectional screw is rotated in the opposite direction, and the two sliders of the same group move away from each other, and the distance between the first support plate and the second support plate becomes smaller. The first support plate, the second support plate and the related internal parts are taken out together and reinserted into the position of the other contact plate. The above operation is repeated. The movable plate and the contact plate are fixed by the serrated structure, the structure is more stable, will not loosen, and the practicality is increased. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
