DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope protected by the utility model.

[0031] In the description of the utility model, it is necessary to explain that, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more than two;The orientation or position relation indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "front end", "rear end", "head", "tail" and the like is based on the orientation or position relation shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and cannot be understood as limiting or implying that the indicated device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, therefore, it cannot be understood as limiting the utility model. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" and the like are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0032] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 A multi-spiral structure finned heat exchanger, comprising a shell 5, a plurality of groups of heat exchanger heat exchange unit structures are arranged in the shell 5, each group of heat exchanger heat exchange unit structures is composed of a spiral fin heat exchange pipe 4, a turbulent element 3 and a connecting rod 13;A plurality of the spiral fin heat exchange pipes 4 are connected through the detachable turbulent elements 3 and the connecting rods 13 arranged at intervals to form a complete heat exchange pipe, the two ends of the heat exchange pipe are respectively mounted on the fixed tube plate 2, the connecting rod 13 is detachably connected with the baffle 12 fixed on the inner wall of the shell 5;The spiral fin heat exchange pipe 4 is composed of a heat exchange base pipe 403 and a plurality of groups of spiral fins arranged on the outer periphery of the heat exchange base pipe 403 to form a multi-spiral structure heat exchange pipe.

[0033] The cold and hot fluids complete heat exchange in the shell 5. The multi-spiral structure spiral fin heat exchange pipe 4 makes the rotational flow separation of the cold fluid generated when flowing through the spiral fin heat transfer, strengthens the heat transfer effect;At the same time, the root recess structure of the spiral heat exchange fin connected with the heat exchange pipe and the turbulent flow formed by the turbulent element weaken the shearing action of the produced liquid on the wall, reduce the shearing emulsification of the produced liquid, strengthen the heat transfer effect of the cold fluid;In addition, the rotational flow formed by the spiral fin and the inclined plate structure between the fins are helpful for the pre-separation of the produced liquid, which reduces the occurrence of fin fouling. The technical problems such as easy clogging, complex maintenance of the conventional finned heat exchanger in the prior art are solved, the heat transfer effect is strengthened based on the rotational flow and turbulent flow, the high-efficiency heat transfer and pre-separation effect of the produced liquid are achieved.

[0034] As shown in Figure 5 , the spiral fin is a flat plate type spiral heat exchange fin 401, which is arranged in a spiral line along the outer periphery of the heat exchange base pipe 403. The angle between the flat plate and the axial horizontal plane of the heat exchange base pipe 403 is 30°-60°, and the acute angle plane faces the backwater surface. The structure of the flat plate type spiral heat exchange fin 401 with multiple spiral structures prolongs the single fluid heat exchange time, and the formed spiral flow enhances the heat exchange effect of the spiral fin heat exchange pipe 4. In addition, the inclined plate structure formed between the flat plate type spiral heat exchange fins 401 reduces the occurrence of fin blockage, which is helpful for the inclined plate settlement of produced liquid and dehydration separation.

[0035] As shown in Figure 6 , the spiral fin is a flange type spiral heat exchange fin 404, which is welded on the outer periphery of the heat exchange base pipe 403 after being pressed into shape. The angle between the flange type spiral heat exchange fin 404 and the axial horizontal plane of the heat exchange base pipe 403 is 30°-60°, and the acute angle plane faces the backwater surface. The difference between the flange and the ordinary fin is that the cross section of the ordinary fin is rectangular, and the cross section of the flange fin is a wing type which gradually thins from the fin root to the fin edge.

[0036] The spiral fin is a flat plate with concave-convex grooves, which is arranged in a spiral line on the outer periphery of the heat exchange base pipe 403 and welded and connected with the heat exchange base pipe 403. The angle between the flat plate and the axial horizontal plane of the heat exchange base pipe 403 is 30°-60°, and the acute angle plane faces the backwater surface.

[0037] The number of spiral fins is 2-8. If the number of fins is too large, it is difficult to meet the processing precision, and it is difficult to install, or the installation difficulty is too large. If the number of fins is too large, the cold fluid such as crude oil or impurities is easy to block between the fins.

[0038] As shown in Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 The spiral fin heat exchange pipe 4 is connected through the spacing arrangement of the turbulent flow element 3 and the connecting rod 13 to form a complete heat exchange pipe. The two ends of the turbulent flow element 3, the two ends of the spiral fin heat exchange pipe 4 and the two ends of the connecting rod 13 are provided with turbulent flow element connecting threads 301, heat exchange pipe connecting threads 402 and connecting rod connecting threads 1302. One end of the heat exchange pipe connecting thread 402 is connected with the turbulent flow element connecting thread 301 of the turbulent flow element 3, and the other end is connected with the connecting rod connecting thread 1302 of the connecting rod 13. The spiral fin heat exchange pipe can be disassembled and replaced easily.

[0039] As shown in Figure 8As shown, the turbulent flow element 3 is a spherical structure, and the spherical appearance can make the flowing fluid form a turbulent flow, improve the heat transfer efficiency, and promote the collision and settling separation of the dispersed phase droplets.

[0040] The turbulent flow elements 3 are uniformly spaced on both sides of the spiral fin heat exchange pipe 4, and the shell side heat exchange pipe adopts the same layout mode, which is convenient for later maintenance and replacement.

[0041] As shown in the figure, Figure 11 As shown, the connecting rod 13 is provided with a fixed clamping block 1301 which is threadedly detachably connected with the bolt hole on the baffle plate 12.

[0042] The heat exchange unit structure of the heat exchanger is arranged in a regular triangle, an inverted triangle or a square in the shell 5.

[0043] The lower end of the shell 5 is provided with a shell side inlet connecting pipe 10, and the upper end is provided with a shell side outlet connecting pipe 6. Figure 4 The left end of the shell 5 is connected with the fixed tube plate 2 through the flange of the shell, and the right end is connected with the left head 9 and the right head 7 through the flanges of the shell.

[0044] The working principle of the heat exchanger is as follows: the oilfield produced liquid as a cold fluid passes through the shell side inlet connecting pipe 10 of the heat exchanger, and the hot fluid passes through the tube side inlet connecting pipe 1 and enters the heat exchanger. When the produced liquid flows through the heat transfer of the multi-spiral structure of the spiral fin, the spiral fin structure forms a spiral flow field, and the inclined plate structure formed between the spiral fins helps the dehydration and pre-separation of the produced liquid, and reduces the occurrence of fin pollution. In addition, the recess structure at the connection between the spiral fin and the heat exchange base pipe weakens the shearing effect of the produced liquid on the wall surface of the spiral fin heat exchange pipe, reduces the shearing emulsification of the produced liquid, and strengthens the heat transfer effect of the cold fluid. After flowing through the spiral fin, the turbulent flow element 3 forms a turbulent flow field, which not only strengthens the heat transfer effect, but also improves the effective collision of the dispersed phase droplets, and promotes the effective separation of the produced liquid.

[0045] The above merely describes a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any skilled person in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
