Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of petrochemical technology, and more specifically, to a heat exchanger for petrochemical production. Background Technology
[0002] In the petrochemical production process, heat exchangers are one of the key pieces of equipment, used to transfer and recover heat, improve energy efficiency, and reduce production costs. Heat exchangers are widely used in various process units, such as crude oil distillation, catalytic cracking, hydrotreating, and thermal pyrolysis.
[0003] Shell-and-tube heat exchangers mainly consist of a shell, heat exchange tubes, tube sheet, and end caps. The shell is mostly circular, and contains several parallel circular or spiral heat exchange tubes. The two ends of the heat exchange tubes are fixed to the tube sheet. In the shell-and-tube heat exchanger, two fluids exchange heat: one flows inside the tubes, and its path is called the tube side; the other flows outside the tubes, and its path is called the shell side.
[0004] Refrigerant filtration is a crucial step in the operation of a heat exchanger to ensure efficient operation and extend equipment life. However, impurities accumulated during filtration can easily clog the filter pores, making them difficult to clean and unclog, thus affecting subsequent filtration efficiency and increasing maintenance burden and costs. At the same time, excessively fast refrigerant flow rate and short residence time in the heat exchange tubes result in low heat exchange efficiency and limited heat exchange effect.

[0030] See also Figures 1-5 A heat exchanger for petrochemical production includes a heat exchanger body 1, which includes a heat exchange tank 2. One side of the heat exchange tank 2 has an inlet tank 3 and an inlet pipe 4, and the other side has an outlet tank 5 and an outlet pipe 6. Sealing blocks 7 are symmetrically arranged on the heat exchange tank 2, and heat exchange tubes 8 are arranged between the sealing blocks 7. Multiple heat exchange tubes 8 are arranged circumferentially along the sealing blocks 7. Each heat exchange tube 8 includes a connecting pipe 9 and a bent pipe 10, with the bent pipes 10 arranged in an S-shape. A filter box 11 is provided on the inlet pipe 4, and a filter plate 12 is provided on the filter box 11. The filter plate 12 has filter holes 13. The heat exchange tank 2 is equipped with a cleaning device. The bottom of the filter plate 12 is equipped with a support frame 14, an electromagnet 15 is provided on the support frame 14, a dredging plate 16 is provided on the support frame 14, a dredging rod 17 that cooperates with the filter hole 13 is provided on the dredging plate 16, and a magnet block 18 is provided on the dredging rod 17. The heat exchange tank 2 is equipped with an inlet pipe 19 and an outlet pipe 20. The inlet pipe 19 is located below the heat exchange tank 2, and the outlet pipe 20 is located above the heat exchange tank 2. The heat exchange tank 2 is equipped with a first baffle 21 and a second baffle 22. The first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 are spaced apart and have opposite opening directions.
[0031] In this embodiment, during the petrochemical production process, the refrigerant is filtered through the filter box 11 and filter plate 12, then introduced into the inlet tank 3 through the inlet pipe 4, and enters the heat exchange tube 8 of the sealing block 7. The heat exchange tube 8 is arranged in an S-shape in the heat exchange tank 2, which prolongs the flow path and flow time of the refrigerant. The generated hot liquid enters the heat exchange tank 2 through the feed pipe 19. Through the separation effect of the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22, the flow path of the hot liquid is extended, allowing it to fully exchange heat with the refrigerant in the heat exchange tube 8, thus achieving heat exchange. After the hot liquid cools down due to heat exchange, it is discharged through the discharge pipe 20. The refrigerant is heated in the heat exchange tube 8 and then discharged through the outlet tank 5 and the outlet pipe 6. The continuous heat exchange of the hot liquid by the flowing refrigerant improves the heat exchange effect.
[0032] See also Figures 3-5As one embodiment of the cleaning device: the cleaning device includes a cleaning trough 23, which is symmetrically arranged in the filter box 11. A cleaning block 24 is slidably arranged in the cleaning trough 23, and a cleaning scraper 25 is arranged between the cleaning blocks 24. A cleaning screw 26 is provided in one of the cleaning troughs 23, and the cleaning screw 26 is threadedly connected to the cleaning block 24. A cleaning motor 27 is provided on one side of the cleaning screw 26. A cleaning slide rod 28 is provided in the other cleaning trough 23, and the cleaning slide rod 28 is slidably connected to the cleaning block 24. A drain port 29 is provided on one side of the filter box 11, and a drain plate 30 is provided on the drain port 29. A drain motor 31 is provided on the filter box 11, and a drain screw 32 is provided on the motor shaft of the drain motor 31. The drain screw 32 is threadedly connected to the drain plate 30, and a sealing gasket 33 is provided at the bottom of the drain plate 30.
[0033] More specifically, the refrigerant is filtered through the filter holes 13 on the filter plate 12 inside the filter box 11. Impurities accumulate on the filter plate 12. The cleaning motor 27 is started, and the motor shaft of the cleaning motor 27 drives the cleaning screw 26 to rotate, which in turn drives the cleaning block 24 and the cleaning scraper 25 to clean the impurities on the filter plate 12. The drain motor 31 drives the drain screw 32 to rotate, which in turn drives the drain plate 30 to move upward to open the drain port 29, making it easier to discharge impurities. After cleaning, the drain motor 31 drives the drain screw 32 to reverse, and the drain plate 30 moves downward to close the drain port 29. The sealing gasket 33 improves the sealing of the drain port 29. The cleaning motor 27 reverses and drives the cleaning scraper 25 to reset. With the filtration of impurities and the cleaning action of the cleaning scraper 25, some impurities are easily blocked in the filter holes 13. When the electromagnet 15 is energized, the electromagnet 15 and the magnetic block 18 repel each other, which drives the unblocking plate 16 and the unblocking rod 17 to unblock the filter holes 13 and prevent the filter holes 13 from becoming blocked.
[0034] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment: In the petrochemical production process, the refrigerant is filtered through the filter box 11 and filter plate 12, and then enters the inlet tank 3 through the inlet pipe 4, and then enters the heat exchange tube 8 of the sealing block 7. The heat exchange tube 8 is arranged in an S-shape in the heat exchange tank 2, which prolongs the flow path and flow time of the refrigerant. The generated hot liquid enters the heat exchange tank 2 through the feed pipe 19. Through the separation effect of the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22, the flow path of the hot liquid is extended, allowing it to fully exchange heat with the refrigerant in the heat exchange tube 8, thus achieving heat exchange. After the hot liquid cools down after heat exchange, it is discharged through the discharge pipe 20. The refrigerant is heated in the heat exchange tube 8 and then discharged through the outlet tank 5 and the outlet pipe 6. The continuous heat exchange of the hot liquid by the flowing refrigerant improves the heat exchange effect.
[0035] The refrigerant is filtered through the filter holes 13 on the filter plate 12 inside the filter box 11. Impurities accumulate on the filter plate 12. The cleaning motor 27 is started, and the motor shaft of the cleaning motor 27 drives the cleaning screw 26 to rotate, which in turn drives the cleaning block 24 and the cleaning scraper 25 to clean the impurities on the filter plate 12. The drain motor 31 drives the drain screw 32 to rotate, which in turn drives the drain plate 30 to move upward and open the drain port 29 to facilitate the discharge of impurities. After cleaning, the drain motor 31 drives the drain screw 32 to reverse, and the drain plate 30 moves downward to close the drain port 29. The sealing gasket 33 improves the sealing of the drain port 29. The cleaning motor 27 reverses and drives the cleaning scraper 25 to reset. With the filtration of impurities and the cleaning action of the cleaning scraper 25, some impurities are prone to blockage in the filter holes 13. When the electromagnet 15 is energized, the electromagnet 15 and the magnetic block 18 repel each other, which drives the unblocking plate 16 and the unblocking rod 17 to unblock the filter holes 13 and prevent the filter holes 13 from becoming blocked.
