Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an air heating device, in particular to a high-enthalpy pure air heating device. Background Art
[0002] With the development of modern industry and scientific research, the requirements for air heating technology in some specialized fields are becoming increasingly stringent. For example, when performing performance tests or experiments on devices such as aircraft and rocket engines, due to the extreme environments such as high temperature and high pressure, the incoming air must be rapidly heated to meet the process requirements in order to obtain the high enthalpy incoming air required for the test.
[0003] Existing technologies typically use a method of directly injecting fuel into the incoming air for combustion heating to produce high-enthalpy incoming air that matches flight conditions. However, while this method can increase the incoming air temperature, it also inevitably introduces combustion products into the air during combustion heating, contaminating it. This results in significant differences in the properties of the incoming air used for testing and actual air, leading to significant deviations between test results and actual results.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] In order to make the purpose, advantages and features of the present invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a high enthalpy pure air heating device, comprising an air intake unit 1, a heating unit 2 and an air collecting unit 3. The air intake unit 1 is connected to the heating unit 2 for conveying incoming air into the heating unit 2.
[0034] Combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the heating unit 2 includes a housing 21, a heat transfer chamber 22, and a combustion chamber 23 disposed within the housing 21. The housing 21 is a hollow cylindrical structure, with an air inlet at one axial end connected to the air inlet unit 1 and an air outlet at the other end connected to the air collection unit 3. The housing 21 is radially provided with multiple residual gas outlets 211 for connection to external residual gas pipelines.
[0035] The heat transfer chamber 22 is coaxially installed inside the shell 21, and its radial cross section is a circular ring structure. The combustion chamber 23 is axially installed at the center of the circular ring structure for generating high-temperature combustion gas.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, an ignition device 24 and a water-cooled blind plate 25 are mounted on each axial end of the combustion chamber 23. The ignition device 24 is located at the end of the combustion chamber 23 near the air inlet of the housing 21. An oxidant inlet 231 and a fuel inlet 232 are radially disposed at the end of the combustion chamber 23 near the ignition device 24. The ignition device 24 is used to mix, atomize, and combust the oxidant and fuel within the combustion chamber 23, generating high-temperature combustion gas. The radial sidewalls of the combustion chamber 23 are provided with multiple combustion holes that communicate with the radial passages 221. The water-cooled blind plate 25 is used to seal the combustion chamber 23. In this embodiment, the combustion chamber 23 and the heat transfer chamber 22 are designed as an integrated structure.
[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of mutually independent radial channels 221 and axial channels 222 are provided inside the heat transfer chamber 22; the radial channels 221 and the axial channels 222 can be circular channels or rectangular channels, and can also be designed into corresponding structures as needed.
[0038] Each radial channel 221 is connected at both ends to the combustion chamber 23 and the residual gas outlet 211, respectively, for conveying high-temperature gas. Each axial channel 222 is connected at both ends to the air inlet and outlet, respectively. Incoming air enters the axial channel 222 through the air inlet, exchanges heat with the high-temperature gas conveyed by the radial channel 221, and forms high-enthalpy air, which then enters the gas collection unit 3 through the outlet.
[0039] The air collecting unit 3 is installed at one end of the shell 21 where the air outlet is provided. It can be cylindrical or a cylindrical structure with small ends and a large middle. It is used to collect high-enthalpy air and mix the high-enthalpy air evenly, and then transmit the high-enthalpy air to external test equipment.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the air intake unit 1 of this embodiment includes an air intake main pipe 11 and multiple branch pipes 12. The air intake main pipe 11 is a cylindrical structure with one end open and the other closed. Incoming air enters the air intake main pipe 11 through the open end. Multiple branch pipes 12 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the air intake main pipe 11. One end of each branch pipe 12 is connected to the side wall of the air intake main pipe 11 near the closed end, and the other end is connected to the air inlet of the housing 21. The multiple branch pipes 12 evenly distribute the incoming air into the air intake main pipe 11 and transmit it through the air inlet to the axial channel 222 of the heat transfer chamber 22.
[0041] Preferably, if Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a guide member 4 is provided in the air intake main pipe 11. The guide member 4 has a conical structure, with its top facing the open end of the air intake main pipe 11 and its bottom surface installed on the inner end surface of the closed end of the air intake main pipe 11, so as to ensure that the incoming air can be evenly distributed to each branch pipe 12.
[0042] The air inlet of this embodiment may be one air inlet, or may be a plurality of air inlets corresponding one-to-one to the plurality of branch pipes 12 .
[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, to ensure that incoming air enters the heat transfer chamber 22 evenly, an annular rectifying plate 5 is installed at one end of the heat transfer chamber 22 near the air inlet. The annular rectifying plate 5 is provided with an annular groove 51 with an opening toward the air inlet. The bottom of the annular groove 51 is provided with multiple air vents 52 connected to the axial channel 222. The incoming air passes through the air inlet main pipe 11 and branch pipe 12, then reaches the annular groove 51 through the air inlet, and is evenly distributed through the air vents 52 before entering the axial channel 222 of the heat transfer chamber 22.
[0044] This embodiment utilizes a unique structural design, in which heat transfer chamber 22 efficiently and evenly transfers heat from the high-temperature combustion gas to the incoming air through a highly efficient, porous wall-type heat transfer method. Compared to traditional heating devices, this device offers lower energy consumption, independence from electrical system power, faster heating speeds, lower maintenance costs, and a wider range of applications.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
