[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment relates to an acid-acid heat exchanger for a sulfuric acid low-temperature waste heat recovery device, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a shell, a shell side 1, a plurality of heat exchange tubes 2, a first tube sheet 3 and a second tube sheet 3. The shell is made of corrosion-resistant material to adapt to the corrosive environment of sulfuric acid. The shell side 1 is the space between the shell and the plurality of heat exchange tubes 2, which is used to accommodate dilute sulfuric acid. The shell is divided into three parts by the first tube sheet and the second tube sheet: a first shell 5, a second shell 6 and a third shell 7. The first shell 5 is provided with a concentrated sulfuric acid inlet 51 and a first acid drain port 52 communicating with the heat exchange tubes 2. The second shell 6 is provided with a dilute sulfuric acid inlet 61, a dilute sulfuric acid outlet 62 and a second acid drain port 63 communicating with the shell side 1. The third shell 7 is provided with a concentrated sulfuric acid outlet 71 and a third acid drain port 72 communicating with the heat exchange tubes 2. The heat exchange tubes 2 are connected to the tube sheet 3 through a pressing plate 4, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the outer wall of the pressure plate 4 has threads that mate with the internal threads of the tube hole on the tube sheet 3. The interior of the pressure plate 4 has a hollow hole, the inner wall of which mates with the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 2. A conical sealing groove 32 and an internal thread are provided on the inner wall of the heat exchange tube 2 hole on the tube sheet 3, wherein the internal thread is closer to the opening of the heat exchange tube 2 than the conical sealing groove 32. A trapezoidal sealing ring 31 is fixed to the inner section of the heat exchange tube 2 located in the heat exchange tube 2 hole. The trapezoidal sealing ring 31 is fixed to the bottom of the conical sealing groove 32 and mates with the conical sealing groove 32, the pressure plate 4, and the heat exchange tube 2 to ensure sealing performance. The end of the pressure plate 4 has a beveled surface that fits the conical sealing groove 32, further enhancing the sealing effect. The trapezoidal sealing ring 31 can be fixed to the inner side of the pressure plate 4 and the conical sealing groove 32 near one end, or it can be bonded to the bottom of the conical sealing groove 32 or to the inner side of the pressure plate 4 and the conical sealing groove 32 near one end.
[0023] Specifically, first, use corrosion-resistant materials such as high-silicon alloy or stainless steel to make the shell to ensure that it can withstand the corrosion of sulfuric acid; then, make the first tube sheet and the second tube sheet, and drill holes on the tube sheet 3, and process internal threads and tapered sealing grooves 32 in the holes; then, pass the heat exchange tube 2 through the first tube sheet and the second tube sheet, ensuring that the heat exchange tube 2 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the hole; then, screw the pressure plate 4 into the hole on the tube sheet 3, ensuring that the pressure plate 4 is fully engaged with the internal threads of the heat exchange tube 2 hole; fix the trapezoidal sealing ring 31 on the inner section of the heat exchange tube 2 hole The bottom of the conical sealing groove 32 is ensured to be tightly fitted between the sealing ring and the conical sealing groove 32, the pressure plate 4 and the heat exchange tube 2; finally, the first tube sheet 3 and the second tube sheet 3 are installed in the shell, ensuring that the first shell 5, the second shell 6 and the third shell 7 are correctly divided; the concentrated sulfuric acid inlet 51 and the first acid drain port 52 are installed on the first shell 5, the concentrated sulfuric acid outlet 71 and the second acid drain port 63 are installed on the third shell 7, and the dilute sulfuric acid inlet 61, the dilute sulfuric acid outlet 62 and the third acid drain port 72 are installed on the second shell 6.
[0024] Specifically, concentrated sulfuric acid enters the heat exchange tube 2 through the concentrated sulfuric acid inlet 51 on the first shell 5, and dilute sulfuric acid enters the shell side 1 through the dilute sulfuric acid inlet 61 on the second shell 6; the concentrated sulfuric acid flows in the heat exchange tube 2 and exchanges heat with the dilute sulfuric acid in the shell side 1, and the heat of the concentrated sulfuric acid is transferred to the dilute sulfuric acid through the heat exchange tube 2, causing the dilute sulfuric acid to heat up; the concentrated sulfuric acid after heat exchange is discharged through the concentrated sulfuric acid outlet 71 on the third shell 7, and the dilute sulfuric acid after heat exchange is discharged through the dilute sulfuric acid outlet 62 on the second shell 6; in addition, the three acid drain ports of the acid-acid heat exchanger are used to discharge residual acid in the system to ensure cleanliness and safety during system startup and shutdown. In this way, effective recovery of low-temperature waste heat of sulfuric acid is achieved.
[0025] Preferably, the pressing plate 4 cooperates with the internal thread on the tube sheet 3 through the thread on its outer wall. After tightening, the pressing plate 4 generates an axial pressing force on the heat exchange tube 2 to ensure the seal between the heat exchange tube 2 and the tube sheet 3. There is a hollow hole inside the pressing plate 4, and the inner wall of the hole cooperates tightly with the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 2, further enhancing the sealing effect; the trapezoidal sealing ring 31 is fixed at the bottom of the conical sealing groove 32, which can be fixed at the inner side of the pressing plate 4 and the conical sealing groove 32 near one end, or can be bonded to the bottom of the conical sealing groove 32 or the inner side of the pressing plate 4 and the conical sealing groove 32 near one end, and fits tightly with the beveled surface of the pressing plate 4 and the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 2 to form a multiple seal. When the pressing plate 4 is tightened, the trapezoidal sealing ring 31 is compressed, generating a radial sealing force, forming a tight sealing interface with the conical sealing groove 32, the pressing plate 4 and the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 2 to prevent sulfuric acid leakage.
[0026] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not used to limit the present application, and although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacements to some technical features. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
