[0002] At present, large winding pipe heat exchanger in petrochemical industry is mostly fixed tube sheet type non-detachable structure. Regular cleaning generally uses chemical circulation cleaning, which is good for general medium, but may not be effective for medium with high viscosity.

[0003] To facilitate cleaning, the present application designs a core extraction type winding pipe heat exchanger, such as Chinese utility model patent No. 201920654173.3, "winding pipe heat exchanger" (authorized publication number CN209945069U), which includes shell side cylinder, core, upper tube plate and upper tube box head. The shell side cylinder is vertically arranged and has a cavity inside. The shell side cylinder is provided with a shell side inlet and a shell side outlet connected to the cavity. The core is vertically arranged in the cavity. The core includes heat exchange pipes wound from inside to outside to form multiple pipe layers. The upper tube plate is arranged at the top of the shell side cylinder. The upper end of the heat exchange pipe is limited on the upper tube plate. The upper tube box head is arranged on the upper tube plate and forms a first inner cavity with the upper tube plate. The core is detachably connected to the shell side cylinder. The floating tube plate is located at the bottom of the core. The lower end of the heat exchange pipe is limited on the floating tube plate. The lower part of the floating tube plate is connected to the lower tube box head. The lower tube box head and the floating tube plate form a second inner cavity. The upper tube plate is axially provided with N first partitions. N is a natural number greater than 0. The first partitions separate the first inner cavity into at least two first tube pass cavities. Each first tube pass cavity is connected to the upper end of the corresponding pipe layer of the heat exchange pipe. The floating tube plate is axially provided with N-1 second partitions parallel to the first partitions. The second partitions are distributed in a staggered manner with the first partitions. The second partitions separate the second inner cavity into at least one second tube pass cavity. Each second tube pass cavity is connected to the lower end of the corresponding pipe layer of the heat exchange pipe. The heat exchange pipe, the first tube pass cavity and the second tube pass cavity form a multi-tube pass channel for the tube pass medium to flow back and forth. The multi-tube pass is an even number of tube passes. The first tube pass connector and the second tube pass connector are arranged on the upper tube box head and connected to the corresponding tube pass cavity in the first inner cavity. In this way, the tube pass medium can participate in heat exchange multiple times in the heat exchange pipe. The first tube pass connector and the second tube pass connector are arranged on the same side of the shell side cylinder, which facilitates the overall disassembly of the core.
