Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, in particular to a combined marine heat exchanger. Background Art

[0002] A combined marine heat exchanger (CMHE) is a heat exchange device specifically designed for use on ships, used to efficiently transfer heat between different systems. This heat exchanger combines multiple types of heat exchanger designs to adapt to the complex requirements of the ship's environment. A CMHE typically includes multiple different types of heat exchanger components, configured according to the ship's specific needs and operating environment. A common approach is to combine tubular and plate heat exchangers. However, the existing combination of the two is large and unsuitable for the environment within the hold. The bottom of the hold is the installation compartment for the hull's power equipment, which is often quite high. However, the need to install a large amount of power equipment results in a relatively narrow lateral space. Therefore, we propose a CMHE. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0015] Refer to the attached Figure 1-Figure 2 A combined marine heat exchanger includes a transversely mounted plate heat exchanger 3 and a tubular heat exchanger 1 mounted on top of the plate heat exchanger 3. The tubular heat exchanger 1 consists of a tube shell 11, a first tube box 12, and a second tube box 13. Multiple tube bundles 2 are installed on both sides of the tubular heat exchanger 1. The tube bundle 2 consists of an inlet pipe portion 21, an outlet pipe portion 22, and an arc-shaped pipe portion 23. The inlet pipe portion 21 is connected to the first tube box 12, and the outlet pipe portion 22 is connected to the second tube box 13. The arc-shaped pipe portion 23 is fixed and connected between the inlet pipe portion 21 and the outlet pipe portion 22. The second tube box 13 is connected to the fluid interface 32 of the plate heat exchanger 3.

[0016] This arrangement allows the tubular heat exchanger 1 to be installed above the plate heat exchanger 3, reducing the lateral area of ​​the two when used in combination, and by modifying the tubular heat exchanger 1, achieving the effect of reasonable operation of the two.

[0017] Specifically, the first tube box 12 is fixedly installed with a first tube sheet 14, the second tube box 13 is fixedly installed with a second tube sheet 15, the inlet pipe portion 21 is fixed and connected with a connecting pipe 24, and the outlet pipe portion 22 is fixed and connected with a drain pipe 25. The connecting pipe 24 is connected to the first tube box 12, and the drain pipe 25 is connected to the second tube box 13.

[0018] Specifically, the plate heat exchanger 3 further includes an end plate 31 , the fluid interface 32 is located on the end plate 31 , and the second pipe box 13 is in contact with the end plate 31 .

[0019] Specifically, the tubular heat exchanger 1 further includes a first head 16 and a second head 17 on both sides, and the first head 16 and the second head 17 are both provided with an inlet pipe 18.

[0020] It should be noted that support legs 4 are fixedly installed between the tube heat exchanger 1 and the plate heat exchanger 3 , and baffles are fixedly installed between the multiple tube bundles 2 .

[0021] During specific operation, hot fluid is input into the first pipe box 12, the hot fluid enters the connecting pipe 24 and enters the pipe portion 21, and then is input into the discharge pipe portion 22 through the arc-shaped pipe portion 23. Next, the cold fluid is input into the tubular heat exchanger 1 through the input pipe 18, thus forming a heat exchange. Finally, the hot fluid cooled in the tubular heat exchanger 1 is input into the second pipe box 13 through the discharge pipe 25, and then input from the second pipe box 13 into the fluid interface 32 to the plate heat exchanger 3 for another heat exchange operation, thus forming a fluid heat exchange route that completes the combination of the tubular heat exchanger 1 and the tube bundle 2.

[0022] It should also be noted that, in this embodiment, the plate heat exchanger 3 is no different from a traditional plate heat exchanger, except that the installation position is adjusted, so its working principle is not described in detail.
