AI Technical Summary
In traditional heat exchangers, the separate design of the tube box and flat cover makes the joints prone to leakage, especially in corrosive environments, where the sealing and durability are insufficient.
The pipe box and flat cover are integrated into one structure. Through the tie rod fixing and guide hole design, combined with auxiliary blocks and guide rings, the pipe box and flat cover can be quickly aligned and reliably connected. The pressure resistance and corrosion resistance are enhanced by the processing of thick stainless steel.
The reduced number of connecting parts lowers potential leakage points and improves overall sealing performance, pressure resistance, and corrosion resistance.
