[0002] The horizontal shell and tube condenser is an important component of a marine air conditioner, and its performance is related to the normal operation of the air conditioner. The horizontal shell and tube condenser is composed of a shell, a heat transfer pipe bundle, a tube plate, and an end cover. The working principle of the shell and tube condenser is that cooling water passes through the pipe, and refrigerant passes through the shell, that is, high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant vapor is cooled, condensed, and collected in the shell on the outer surface of the heat transfer pipe bundle. Therefore, the quality of the heat exchange pipe of the heat transfer pipe bundle directly affects the heat exchange efficiency of the shell and tube condenser. During operation, the heat exchange pipe is easily corroded in the medium containing impurities in seawater for a long time, especially at the welding position of the heat exchange pipe and the tube plate. The existing welding mostly adopts the structure of welding the heat exchange pipe at the outer corner after the heat exchange pipe penetrates the tube plate. The penetration joint strength of the heat exchange pipe and the tube plate of this structure is low, and the shell-side refrigerant is easy to leak. At the same time, the welding position is severely corroded, which has become a difficulty in the progress of the industry in terms of safety and service life. SUMMARY
