Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchanger technology, specifically a self-cleaning wastewater heat exchanger. Background Technology

[0002] A wastewater heat exchanger is a device used to recover heat energy from wastewater and transfer it to other fluids (such as chilled water, steam, or other process fluids), aiming to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy waste. It is widely used in industrial production processes, especially in chemical, metallurgical, food processing, pharmaceutical, and energy recovery industries.

[0003] The existing patent with publication number CN218864854U proposes a self-cleaning heat exchanger for ammonia-eating wastewater. The device is designed with a movable baffle. This baffle can not only form a serpentine flow channel to increase the flow path of the cold source, but also has the function of online scraping of dirt. The dirt is cleaned quickly and conveniently, saving time and effort, significantly improving work efficiency, ensuring efficient heat exchange of the heat exchange liquid tube, and ensuring the normal operation of production. It is worth promoting and using on a large scale.

[0004] When a horizontal heat exchanger heats water, impurities in the water will accumulate in an arc shape on the inner wall of the bottom of the shell. Over time, scale buildup will damage the inner wall of the heat exchanger shell and will also compromise the purity of the water source. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a self-cleaning wastewater heat exchanger to solve the problem that impurities in the water in existing heat exchangers will accumulate in an arc shape on the inner wall of the bottom of the shell, and long-term scale accumulation will damage the inner wall of the heat exchanger shell, while failing to guarantee the purity of the water source.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a self-cleaning wastewater heat exchanger, comprising two supports, a shell fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the two supports, a first side cover and a second side cover fixedly mounted on the two sides of the shell respectively, a heat exchange liquid pipe fixedly mounted on the upper inner wall of the shell, and a sedimentation structure mounted on the lower end of the shell. The sedimentation structure includes a rectangular member fixedly mounted on the lower end of the shell, a receiving groove opened at the lower end of the rectangular member, a limiting member fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the receiving groove, a sealing gasket fixedly mounted on the lower end of the limiting member, and screws fixedly mounted on both lower ends of the limiting member. The lower ends of the screws pass through a removal plate and a nut is threaded on the outer wall.

[0007] Preferably, a vertical plate is fixedly provided on one side of the inner wall of the housing, a scraper is provided on one side of the vertical plate, one end of the vertical plate passes through the scraper and a first nut is provided on the outer wall thread.

[0008] Preferably, the upper end face of the removal plate is on the same plane as the inner wall of the bottom end of the rectangular piece.

[0009] Preferably, a first water inlet pipe is fixedly provided at the upper end of the first side cover.

[0010] Preferably, a second water inlet pipe is fixedly provided on one side of the upper end of the shell.

[0011] Preferably, a drain pipe is fixedly provided on one side of the lower end of the rectangular component, and a sealing nut is provided on the outer wall thread of the drain pipe.

[0012] Preferably, rotating blocks are fixedly provided on both sides of the outer wall of the sealing nut.

[0013] Preferably, a U-shaped handle is fixedly provided on one side of the scraper.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1) By setting up a sedimentation structure, the sedimented scale flows into the upper surface of the removal plate. Once the scale is fixed and adhered, it will not be fixed and adhered to the inner wall of the shell. When the removal plate is removed later, a large amount of scale can be removed, thus speeding up the cleaning efficiency.

[0016] 2) By setting the scraper to be located on the inner wall of the housing, the scraper can be removed after the removal plate is removed. After removal, the scraper can be scraped and cleaned to remove the residual scale on the inner wall of the bottom of the housing, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency near the inner wall of the bottom of the housing.
