Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of plate-fin heat exchangers, in particular to a plate-fin heat exchanger which is easy to clean impurities. Background Art
[0002] Plate-fin heat exchangers are mainly composed of partitions, fins, seals and guide vanes. Fins, guide vanes and seals are placed between two adjacent partitions to form a sandwich, which becomes a channel. Such sandwiches are stacked according to different fluid flow methods and brazed into a whole to form a plate bundle, which is the core of the plate-fin heat exchanger. With the continuous development of science and technology, the heat exchange efficiency of plate-fin heat exchangers has been improved to a new level compared with previous heat exchangers. It also has the advantages of small size and light weight.

The existing fins are inside the shell, and the shell is connected by bolts, which makes disassembly inconvenient. Secondly, when cleaning after disassembly, it is necessary to carry cleaning tools in advance, which makes cleaning inconvenient. Utility Model Content
