Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchange equipment technology, specifically a double tube sheet heat exchanger. Background Technology

[0002] A heat exchanger is a device used for heat exchange, its main function being to transfer heat from one medium to another. It is commonly used for heating, cooling, and temperature regulation. The basic working principle of a heat exchanger is that it transfers energy through heat exchange between two or more different fluid media, and the mixing of different fluid media must be avoided during the heat exchange process.

[0003] Currently, heat exchangers are crucial equipment in industrial processes, heating, air conditioning, refrigeration, and chemical reactions. Heat exchangers are classified according to their structure into: shell-and-tube heat exchangers, plate heat exchangers, air coolers, finned tube heat exchangers, and plate-fin heat exchangers, etc. Among them, shell-and-tube heat exchangers consist of a shell and end caps, forming two isolated spaces: the shell side and the tube side, through which two different fluid media flow. The important isolation components between the shell side and the tube side are: the shell and the tube sheet and tube bundle installed on it, and the end caps and the baffles installed inside them.

[0004] However, conventional shell-and-tube heat exchangers with double tube sheets still have the following shortcomings:

[0005] 1. The shell and end caps are prone to heat loss;

[0006] 2. The temperature difference between the same fluid medium flowing on both sides of the partition leads to heat loss. Utility Model Content

[0007] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the background art, the present invention provides a double tube sheet heat exchanger with higher heat preservation performance, thereby reducing heat loss.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is:

[0009] A dual tube sheet heat exchanger includes: a horizontally arranged heat exchange shell, tube sheets at both ends of the heat exchange shell, a baffle inside the heat exchange shell between the tube sheets, a tube bundle running through the tube sheets, a heat flow port connected to the upper end of the heat exchange shell, and a support saddle fixedly installed at the lower end of the heat exchange shell.

[0010] A shell spacer is provided on the inner wall of the heat exchange shell; a cold flow head and a reflux head are respectively sealed and connected at both ends of the heat exchange shell; a head spacer is provided on the inner wall of the cold flow head and the reflux head; a horizontal baffle assembly is provided in the middle of the cold flow head; the baffle assembly is configured as a two-layer structure and is connected to the head spacer; a connecting plate is provided between the two-layer baffle assembly; and cold flow ports are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the cold flow head.

[0011] Furthermore, the baffle is configured as a small circular cut, and multiple sets are arranged at intervals with alternating up and down notches inside the heat exchange shell.

[0012] Furthermore, shell flanges are respectively provided at the edges of both ends of the heat exchange shell.

[0013] Furthermore, a cold flow head flange is provided at the opening edge of the cold flow head;

[0014] A reflux head flange is provided at the opening edge of the reflux head;

[0015] The cold flow end flange and the return flow end flange are respectively sealed to the shell flanges at both ends of the heat exchange shell.

[0016] Furthermore, a sealing plate protrudes from the tube sheet on one side of the cold flow head.

[0017] Furthermore, a horizontal groove is provided on one side of the partition assembly and the connecting plate phase tube sheet;

[0018] The sealing plate is inserted into the transverse groove.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this novel double-tube sheet heat exchanger are as follows:

[0020] 1. By using shell spacers and head spacers, the heat exchange shell, cold flow head, and return flow head are reduced to reduce heat exchange with the outside environment;

[0021] 2. The heat exchange of the cold flow medium inside the cold flow head is reduced by using a two-layer baffle assembly;

[0022] 3. The positioning and sealing of the partition and tube sheet are achieved through the matching sealing plates and transverse grooves. Attached Figure Description
