Figure 4As shown, the spiral core 5 includes an air outlet pipe 501 and an air inlet pipe 502, and a micro tube 503 is connected between the air outlet pipe 501 and the air inlet pipe 502 to increase the turbulence of the external air when passing through the spiral core 5. Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, the side wall of the air inlet pipe 502 is provided with connecting air holes 506 in a triangular staggered manner, and the microtubes 503 are connected to the connecting air holes 506. A partition is connected to the microtubes 503 of each group of spiral cores 5, which can achieve the effect of bundling the numerous microtubes 503 connected to the spiral cores 5. Multiple groups of spiral cores 5 are arranged in a ring array to form the core heat exchange component of the precooler, wherein the air outlet pipe 501 is arranged in the outer ring and the air inlet pipe 502 is arranged in the inner ring.
[0023] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, a positioning hole is opened on the top surface of the bottom plate 2, and the air outlet pipe 501 and the air inlet pipe 502 of the spiral core 5 are both inserted into the positioning holes. There are multiple positioning holes, which correspond one to one with the air outlet pipe 501 and the air inlet pipe 502.
[0024] The integrated total gas collection pipeline 1 is provided with a scattered gas ring silo 103 and a gas collection ring silo 104, which are coaxially arranged. The scattered gas ring silo 103 is located on the inner ring of the gas collection ring silo 104. The scattered gas ring silo 103 is connected to the gas collection pipeline inlet 101, and the gas collection ring silo 104 is connected to the gas collection pipeline outlet 102. In order to connect the air inlet pipe 502 with the scattered gas ring silo 103, the air outlet pipe 501 is connected to the gas collection ring silo 104. The bottom surface of the scattered gas ring silo 103 is connected to the outside world through the air inlet 107, and the upper end of the air inlet pipe 502 is inserted into the air inlet 107. The bottom surface of the integrated total gas collection pipeline 1 is also provided with an air outlet 105, which is connected to the gas collection ring silo 104 through a connecting pipe 106, and the upper end of the air outlet pipe 501 is inserted into the air outlet 105. In order to achieve sealing at the connection, such as Figure 5 、 Figure 6As shown, the upper edges of the air outlet 105 and the air inlet 107 are both provided with a pressure inclined surface 108, and the upper ends of the air outlet pipe 501 and the air inlet pipe 502 are both provided with a sealing ring 504. The outer ring surface of the sealing ring 504 is sleeved with an O-ring 505. The O-ring 505 is in sliding contact with the inner walls of the air outlet 105 and the air inlet 107. The O-ring 505 is the first seal, and the upper edge of the outer ring surface of the sealing ring 504 is provided with a top pressure inclined surface. The top pressure inclined surface corresponds to the pressure inclined surface 108 in position and matches in size.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model:
[0026] The gas to be cooled enters the diffuser ring 103 from the gas collection pipeline inlet 101 of the integrated main gas collection pipeline 1, then enters the gas inlet pipe 502 of the spiral core 5, passes through the microtubes 503, enters the gas outlet 501, and then enters the gas collection ring 104 through the gas outlet 105 and the connecting pipe 106, leaving the precooler at the gas collection pipeline outlet 102. The cooling gas enters the heat exchange core from the cooling air inlet of the integrated main gas collection pipeline 1, passes through the outer wall of the microtubes 503. The triangular staggered arrangement of the microtubes 503 increases the turbulence of the cooling air. The cooling air exchanges heat with the high-temperature gas inside the microtubes 503 through the inter-wall heat exchange before leaving the precooler.
[0027] When the spiral core 5 needs to be maintained, the nut 4 is removed and the integrated main gas collection pipeline 1 is removed from the pull rod 3. The spiral core 5 can be taken out. When replacing the new spiral core 5, the outlet pipe 501 and the inlet pipe 502 are inserted into the corresponding positioning holes on the bottom plate 2. The through-hole 109 of the integrated main gas collection pipeline 1 is aligned with the pull rod 3 and installed. The upper ends of the outlet pipe 501 and the inlet pipe 502 can enter the outlet port 105 and the inlet port 107. The joint is sealed with the O-ring 505. The nut 4 is screwed onto the threaded section of the pull rod 3 and locked to complete the installation of the integrated main gas collection pipeline 1. The tightening bolt 6 is screwed so that the top pressure bevel presses against the pressure bevel 108 to achieve bevel sealing. The replacement and maintenance of the spiral core 5 are completed.
