AI Technical Summary
Heat exchanger tubes are prone to cracking at the ends and contamination at the tube openings. Traditional welding methods lead to stress concentration, increasing the risk of cracking and making them susceptible to contamination.
A heat exchanger tube end bevel structure is designed, employing an inner V-shaped or inner circular arc-shaped second bevel to alter the welding stress distribution. This method is then applied to the tube sheet for welding. A computational model is established for analysis, demonstrating how changing the welding stress distribution shifts the welding stress from the tube end to the interior of the heat exchanger tube, preventing tube end cracking and contamination.
It effectively prevents pipe end cracking and contamination, and improves the service life of the heat exchanger.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of welding, and more particularly to a heat exchanger tube end bevel structure and a heat exchanger. Background Technology
[0002] Heat exchanger tubes, as the primary medium for heat exchange, play a crucial role in condensers. Due to their exposure to complex conditions such as corrosion, oxidation, and high pressure, and the influence of equipment vibration, heat exchanger tubes often face the risk of partial or complete failure, which can ultimately affect the normal operation of the heat exchanger. Austenitic stainless steel, with its good toughness, strong weldability, and excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, mechanical properties, toughness, and machinability, is a widely chosen material for heat exchanger tubes in the industry, and is extensively used in petroleum, chemical, and medical device industries. However, austenitic stainless steel is highly sensitive to contamination by low-melting-point substances such as copper. Numerous studies and case studies have documented weld cracks and hot-working cracks caused by copper contamination in actual production applications. Traditional heat exchanger tube-to-tubesheet welding methods typically involve passing the heat exchanger tube through the tubesheet, creating a bevel on the tubesheet, and then welding the two together. Under the stress concentration during welding, cracking caused by copper contamination becomes more sensitive and severe, leading to tube end cracking failure, such as… Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, the cracks all start from the inside of the pipe end and extend longitudinally along the pipe end thickness and the inner wall.
[0003] like Figures 3-6 As shown, the tube ends of the traditional heat exchange tube 1' in the current tubular heat exchanger equipment are I-bevels 11'. Tube end cracks often occur during the welding of the traditional tube sheet 2', mainly due to stress concentration. The maximum Mises stress caused by welding is concentrated on the inner wall of the tube end. In addition, the I-bevel is prone to contamination of the inner wall of the tube end by the positioning mandrel of the welding equipment. The combination of these two factors makes the possibility of cracking even greater.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a heat exchange tube that can effectively change the welding stress distribution, prevent tube end cracks, and reduce or avoid tube end contamination. Utility Model Content

[0128] Filler wire welding is achieved using the birth and death unit technology, with specific parameters the same as in Example 1.
[0129] Based on the above calculations, the maximum Mises stress at the inner circular bevel of the pipe end is 319 MPa, and it is distributed inside the pipe.
[0130] Comparative Example 1 uses a traditional heat exchanger tube with an "I"-shaped bevel as an example for illustration. The heat source subroutine is compiled using Fortran within the Visual Studio compilation platform and imported into the Abaqus finite element software to simulate the stress distribution of the welded joint.
[0131] Specifically, the parameters of the tube sheet and heat exchanger tubes in this embodiment with the tube end bevel structure are as follows: The heat exchanger tube material grade is GB / T 13296S31603, with a specification of φ25*2mm. The tube sheet material grade is S31603Ⅲ, with a thickness of 85mm, an inner diameter of φ25.3mm, and a tube extension length of 5mm beyond the outer surface of the tube sheet. The parameters of the heat exchanger tube end bevel structure in this application are as follows: OD = 25mm, T = 2mm, L = 5mm, ID = 25.3mm, h = 2mm, ψ = 45°. Calculations are performed, and the conventional I-type bevel diagram for heat exchanger tube ends is shown below. Figures 13-16 See the simulation calculation model. Figure 17 The settlement results are shown below. Figures 19-20 A schematic diagram of the failure of the heat exchanger tubes with I-bevel joints in an actual tubular heat exchanger is shown below. Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown.
[0132] Filler wire welding is achieved using the birth and death unit technology, with specific parameters the same as in Example 1.
[0133] Based on the above calculations, the maximum Mises stress of the Type I bevel is 392 MPa, and it is distributed on the inner wall of the very end of the pipe, making the pipe end extremely prone to cracking. Furthermore, the Type I bevel is easily scraped against the positioning mandrel of the welding torch, leading to pipe end contamination.
[0134] The test results from Examples 1, 2 and Comparative Example 1 show that the improved heat exchange tube end bevel structure changes the welding stress distribution by altering the tube end morphology; and it also prevents tube end contamination and cracking by changing the tube end morphology.

Furthermore, various modifications listed herein, as well as variations in methods and compositions of the utility model, will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of this application. Although this application has been specifically described in conjunction with various specific preferred embodiments, it should be understood that this application should not be limited to these specific embodiments. In fact, various modifications as described above that are obvious to those skilled in the art to obtain the utility model should be included within the scope of this application.
