Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of gas heat exchangers, specifically relating to a sealing structure for isolating flue gas and coal gas in a gas heat exchanger. Background Technology
[0002] During the use of gas heat exchangers, the seals may fail over time, leading to gas leaks. Since gas is a flammable and explosive gas, this poses a significant safety hazard.
[0003] Analysis of the seal failures revealed two main causes: one was electrochemical corrosion and mechanical vibration cracking at the weld, leading to weld leakage; the other was the use of a sealing nut type, which could also loosen and leak due to long-term vibration.
[0004] Currently, property damage caused by the aforementioned seal failures in gas heat exchangers is not uncommon. Therefore, improving the sealing safety of gas heat exchangers has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a sealing structure for isolating flue gas and coal gas in a gas heat exchanger, so as to solve the technical problem that the sealing of the gas heat exchanger fails and it is difficult to guarantee the sealing safety in the prior art.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A sealing structure for isolating flue gas and coal gas in a gas heat exchanger, comprising:
[0007] An upper partition and a lower partition are provided, the upper partition and the lower partition are spaced apart, and each of the upper partition and the lower partition is provided with a number of heat pipe holes and limiting pin holes respectively;
[0008] A plurality of limiting pins are provided between the upper partition and the lower partition. Each limiting pin has a boss at both ends, which is adapted to the limiting pin hole. The limiting pins are welded to the outer surfaces of the upper partition and the lower partition respectively.
[0009] A plurality of heat pipes, the plurality of heat pipes passing through the heat pipe holes, the heat pipes being welded to the outer surfaces of the upper partition and the lower partition respectively;
[0010] A packing layer is disposed between the upper partition and the lower partition.
[0011] This utility model combines welding sealing and packing sealing. First, the packing layer is placed between the upper and lower partitions. The packing layer can absorb vibration energy and will not shrink in the internal cavity. It does not come into large-area contact with air, is not prone to aging, and can maintain sealing performance for a longer time. Second, double-sided sealing is provided by welding the upper and lower partitions on both sides.
[0012] Furthermore, the material of the filler layer is a non-shrink grout.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this step are that the grout will not shrink and can fill the space between the upper and lower partitions.
[0014] Furthermore, the heat pipe is provided with a welding ring at the position corresponding to the upper partition and the lower partition, and the heat pipe hole is adapted to the welding ring.
[0015] The benefits of this step are that welding the ring to the upper and lower partitions avoids the adverse effects of high welding temperatures on the heat pipe itself.
[0016] Furthermore, the boss and the top edge of the welding ring are provided with a welding bevel.
[0017] The benefits of this step are: the weld bevel ensures the amount of flux filling and guarantees weld strength.
[0018] Furthermore, the welding ring is interference-fitted with the heat pipe hole, and the boss is interference-fitted with the limiting pin hole.
[0019] The benefits of this step include: preventing vibration between the welding ring and the heat pipe hole, and between the boss and the locating pin hole, which could lead to weld cracking.
[0020] Furthermore, the weld surfaces of the welding ring and the boss are provided with an anti-corrosion coating.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this step are: the anti-corrosion coating can prevent electrochemical corrosion of the weld.
[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0023] 1. This application forms a stable partition structure by welding the upper partition, the lower partition, and the limiting pin. Then, the heat pipe is passed through the upper partition and the lower partition and welded to them. Finally, a filler layer is added, combining double-sided welding seal and filler seal to improve the sealing effect.
[0024] 2. The impact of vibration on the sealing structure is reduced by welding bevels and interference fits, and the surface anti-corrosion coating is used to prevent electrochemical corrosion of the sealing structure, thereby further improving the sealing safety. Attached Figure Description

[0036] Example
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a sealing structure for isolating flue gas and coal gas in a gas heat exchanger, comprising:
[0038] Upper partition 1 and lower partition 2 are provided at intervals, and both upper partition 1 and lower partition 2 are provided with a number of heat pipe holes and limiting pin holes.
[0039] A plurality of limiting pins 3 are provided between the upper partition 1 and the lower partition 2. Both ends of each limiting pin 3 are provided with a boss 31, which is adapted to the limiting pin hole. The limiting pins 3 are welded to the outer side of the upper partition 1 and the lower partition 2 respectively. The limiting pins 3 can ensure that the upper partition 1 and the lower partition 2 maintain the same interval distance and enhance the structural strength after welding.
[0040] A plurality of heat pipes 4 pass through the heat pipe holes, and the heat pipes are respectively welded to the outer surfaces of the upper partition plate 1 and the lower partition plate 2;
[0041] The packing layer 5 is disposed between the upper partition 1 and the lower partition 2.
[0042] This utility model combines welding sealing and packing sealing. First, the packing layer 5 is placed between the upper partition 1 and the lower partition 2. The packing layer 5 can absorb vibration energy and will not shrink in the internal cavity. It does not come into large-area contact with air, is not prone to aging, and can maintain sealing performance for a longer time. Second, double-sided sealing is provided by welding the upper partition 1 and the lower partition 2 on both sides.
[0043] Based on the above technical solution, the material of the filler layer 5 is non-shrink grout, generally a high-strength non-shrink grout, usually the CGM-6 high-strength non-shrink grout from Chengdu Zefeng Hanyun New Material Technology Co., Ltd.
[0044] The grout does not shrink and can fill the space between the upper partition 1 and the lower partition 2. The grout fills the gaps and seals the space, and also absorbs energy and reduces vibration.
[0045] Based on the above technical solution, the heat pipe 4 is further provided with a welding ring 41 at the position corresponding to the upper partition 1 and the lower partition 2, and the heat pipe hole is adapted to the welding ring 41.
[0046] The heat pipe 4 has a thin wall, making it susceptible to adverse effects during the welding process. To address this, a welding ring 41 is added to the heat pipe 4 during its production. The welding ring 41 is welded to the upper partition 1 and the lower partition 2, which helps to prevent the high temperature of the welding process from negatively impacting the heat pipe 4 itself.
[0047] Based on the above technical solution, the top edge of the boss 31 and the welding ring 41 is provided with a welding bevel.
[0048] Generally, the weld surface needs to be ground to remove slag, which will wear down the weld thickness. However, the welding bevel can ensure the amount of flux filling and ensure the welding strength.
[0049] Based on the above technical solution, the welding ring 41 is interference-fitted with the heat pipe hole, and the boss 31 is interference-fitted with the limiting pin hole.
[0050] The interference fit method can prevent vibration between the welding ring 41 and the heat pipe hole, and between the boss 31 and the limit pin hole, which could lead to weld cracking.
[0051] Based on the above technical solution, the weld surfaces of the welding ring 41 and the boss 31 are provided with an anti-corrosion coating.
[0052] The anti-corrosion coating can prevent electrochemical corrosion of the weld.
[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
