Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an end cover structure of a marine shell and tube condenser, in particular to a welded end cover suitable for the marine shell and tube condenser. Background Art

[0002] Shell-and-tube condensers are widely used in marine air conditioners, chillers, and refrigeration units, and are essential components of marine equipment. The tube-side fluid in shell-and-tube condensers is typically seawater, while the shell-side fluid is typically air or refrigerant. Currently, for shell-and-tube heat exchangers with seawater as the tube-side fluid, the end covers are mostly cast integrally from aluminum bronze (ZCuA19Mn2), and their structural design, production process, and assembly are relatively mature. After casting, the end covers are cleaned of scale, sand inclusions, scars, and burrs to ensure a clean, smooth surface. The unmachined surface of the end cover casting should be free of cracks, cold shuts, or pinholes that could affect strength, performance, and lifespan. It should also be free of deformation and damage, and should not be repaired by welding. After machining, the end covers must undergo a water pressure strength test, with a holding time of at least 30 minutes, and should be leak-free.

[0003] On board ships, the actual working environment of shell and tube condensers is characterized by long-term pitch, long-term roll, pitch, roll, salt spray, impact, and vibration, and seawater itself is corrosive to a certain extent. Shell and tube condensers use end covers cast from aluminum bronze (ZCuA19Mn2). Due to the possibility of cracks, cold shuts, sand holes, and other problems, a large number of end covers are unqualified during the production process. If the finished end cover contains some very small cracks or sand holes, in the actual ship working environment, the seawater will constantly vibrate and impact the end cover, which will reduce the service life of the cast end cover. If the cast end cover is used for more than 5 years, small cracks or sand holes may evolve into large cracks and sand holes, causing the end cover to leak and be scrapped. At present, there have been cases of water leakage in the end covers of marine shell and tube condensers. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the relevant support bases will use the end covers as spare parts.

[0004] In summary, considering the end cover processing and production technology, harsh marine conditions, anti-corrosion and leak prevention, maintenance space and service life requirements, it is necessary to develop a B30 welded end cover suitable for marine shell and tube condensers. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Aiming at the actual marine working environment, corrosion and leakage prevention, maintenance space and service life requirements, the utility model proposes a B30 welded end cover suitable for marine shell and tube condensers, which aims to shorten the end cover production time, reduce the end cover scrap rate, and improve the reliability and service life of the end cover.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is: a B30 welded end cover suitable for a marine shell and tube condenser, comprising a left end cover and a right end cover, both of which are made of B30 plates that are cut, folded, assembled and welded to form a left cover body and a right cover body; the left cover body is provided with a connecting flange and an anti-corrosion block assembly, a rib plate is provided inside, baffles are provided on both sides, and a square flange is welded on the bottom; the right cover body is welded with an anti-corrosion block assembly and a welding seat, a rib plate is provided inside, baffles are provided on both sides, and a square flange is welded on the bottom.

[0007] Furthermore, the square flange is cut from a whole piece of B30 plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the ribs are cut from B30 plates and welded to the inner side of the cover to form a compartment.

[0009] Furthermore, the baffle is cut from B30 plate and welded to both sides of the cover.

[0010] Furthermore, grooves are left on the inner side of the flange for welding with the cover body, rib plate and baffle.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0012] The utility model proposes a B30 welded end cover suitable for marine shell and tube condensers, which has the following advantages:

[0013] (1) The end cover is made of B30 plate for cutting, folding, assembly and welding. The production process is simpler than that of cast end covers, the production time is shortened and the scrap rate is reduced.

[0014] (2) After long-term use, if the B30 welded end cover has local leakage, it can be disassembled and repaired by welding. The operation is simple, the maintenance time is short, and the end cover can be reused.

[0015] (3) When replacing the anti-corrosion block, you can first open the drain valve of the shell and tube condenser to drain the seawater, and then replace the anti-corrosion block without removing the end cover, which makes maintenance and operation convenient.

[0016] (4) With the mechanical structure seal, the B30 welded end cover can be used stably for a long time, which improves the reliability and service life of the end cover. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
