Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, in particular to a shell and tube heat exchanger. Background Art
[0002] A shell and tube heat exchanger is a heat transfer device consisting of a shell, tube sheet, tube bundle, baffle and box. Its most basic structure is to add many small tubes for heat exchange in a circular shell. When the heated heat medium is steam, it is called a shell and tube steam-water heat exchanger; when the heated heat medium is high-temperature water, it is called a shell and tube water-water heat exchanger.
[0003] A shell and tube heat exchanger in the prior art requires that the liquid to be exchanged enter directly from the water inlet pipe. After long-term use, some impurities will inevitably accumulate inside the shell, thereby reducing the overall heat exchange capacity and affecting the overall service life.
[0004] Therefore, a shell and tube heat exchanger is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to make up for the above shortcomings, the utility model provides a shell and tube heat exchanger, which aims to improve the problem of impurities accumulating in the shell after long-term use and exchanging heat for some liquids that may produce harmful gases without being able to filter the harmful gases.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: a shell and tube heat exchanger, including a shell, a liquid outlet pipe fixedly connected to the top of the shell, a water inlet pipe fixedly connected to the outside of the water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the shell, a sliding plate is slidably connected to the inside of the shell, a pull rod is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding plate, a spring is sleeved on the outside of the pull rod, a trapezoidal pin is fixedly connected to the other side of the sliding plate, a filter cartridge is slidably connected to the inside of the water inlet pipe, two plug blocks are fixedly connected to the bottom of both sides of the filter cartridge, a square hole is opened on the outside of the plug block, two fixed plates are fixedly connected to the inside of the shell, a plurality of heat exchange tubes are fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed plate, the water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell, the liquid inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell, and a filter assembly for treating exhaust gas is provided on the top of the shell.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0008] The filter assembly includes an exhaust pipe, which is fixedly connected to the top of the shell. Activated carbon is arranged inside the exhaust pipe, and an exhaust pipe is fixedly connected to the outside of the exhaust pipe.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0010] One end of the spring is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding plate, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] The trapezoidal latch is slidably connected to the inside of the water inlet pipe, and the trapezoidal latch is inserted into the inside of the square hole.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] The insert block is slidably connected to the inside of the water inlet pipe, and a disc is fixedly connected to the outside of the pull rod.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0016] A bracket is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell, and a plurality of baffles are fixedly connected inside the shell.
[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0018] The outside of the air outlet pipe is fixedly connected with a valve.
[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0020] The pull rod is slidably connected to the interior of the shell, and the trapezoidal latch is slidably connected to the interior of the shell.
[0021] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. In the present invention, the filter cartridge is inserted into the water inlet pipe. When the plugs on both sides of the filter cartridge are inserted into the water inlet pipe wall and abut against the trapezoidal pins, the trapezoidal pins will slide in the housing due to the contact of the rounded inclined surfaces until the filter cartridge is fully inserted. Then, the trapezoidal pins will be inserted into the square holes on the plugs under the action of the spring. When replacement is required, only the pull rod needs to be pulled to remove the trapezoidal pins from the square holes, which effectively avoids the accumulation of impurities in the water inside the housing due to long-term use, thereby reducing the overall heat exchange capacity and affecting the overall service life.
[0023] 2. In the present invention, when exchanging heat with liquids that may generate harmful gases, water vapor and part of the gas will be in the exhaust pipe. The activated carbon installed in the exhaust pipe will adsorb the gas to obtain clean gas. If it is unclear whether the gas is clean, open the valve and collect a small amount of gas through the outlet for testing before considering whether to release it. This ensures the safe discharge of the gas and prevents damage to the environment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0043] Working principle: First insert the filter cartridge 11 into the water inlet pipe 3. When the plug blocks 17 on both sides of the filter cartridge 11 are inserted into the wall of the water inlet pipe 3 and abut against the trapezoidal pin 12, the trapezoidal pin 12 will slide into the shell 15 due to the contact of the rounded inclined surfaces. Then the spring 13 will be compressed until the filter cartridge 11 is fully inserted. Then the trapezoidal pin 12 will be inserted into the square hole 18 on the plug block 17 under the action of the spring 13. When replacement is needed, just pull the disc, and the disc will drive the pull rod 14 to pull the trapezoidal pin 12 out of the square hole 18, effectively avoiding the accumulation of impurities in the water inside the shell 1 due to long-term use, thereby reducing the overall heat exchange capacity and affecting the overall service life. The liquid that needs to be heat exchanged enters from the water inlet pipe 3 and then enters the heat exchange pipe 21. The heat exchanger enters from the liquid inlet pipe 5, then passes through the inside of the shell 1, and passes through the baffle 19 in sequence, and finally flows out from the liquid outlet pipe 2. The liquid that has completed the heat exchange will flow out from the water outlet pipe 6. When exchanging some liquids that may produce harmful gases, water vapor and part of the gas will be in the exhaust pipe 7. The activated carbon 10 installed in the exhaust pipe 7 will adsorb the gas to obtain clean gas. If it is not clear whether the gas is clean, open the valve 8 and collect a small amount of gas through the outlet pipe 9 for testing, and then consider whether to release it, thereby ensuring the safe discharge of the gas and preventing damage to the environment.
