Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to heat pump technical field especially is related to a compact floating head formula detachable steam generator for heat pump system. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, in the process flow of many food, brewing, chemical industry, sewage treatment and other industries, the energy saving demand is more and more urgent, and heat pump as a kind of energy saving application is more and more widely used. Solution concentration is an important link in the process flow of these industries, and low-temperature evaporation heat pump system has become a more and more common application to realize water evaporation and condensate water collection. The steam generator in the low-temperature evaporation heat pump system generally adopts the design method of setting condensing coil in the steam generating tank body (the heat pump fluorine system circulating medium condenses and releases heat in the coil, and the solution absorbs heat and evaporates outside the coil). The existing design method has the problems of poor heat exchange performance of the coil, large steam generating tank body, high cost, and difficult cleaning of the tank body coil. In addition, in the field of industrial waste heat utilization, the application of high-temperature heat pump to produce steam is more and more widely used. Generally, high-temperature hot water is produced through the condenser of high-temperature heat pump unit (the heat pump fluorine system circulating medium condenses and releases heat outside the heat exchange pipe, and water absorbs heat and rises in temperature inside the heat exchange pipe), and then the high-temperature hot water is throttled and flashed to produce steam. This technical scheme needs to configure a circulating pump, a throttling device and a flash tank to form a steam generator, but this technical scheme has the disadvantages of complex system, high energy consumption and high cost. Therefore, how to make the steam generator more efficient, more compact, lower in cost and easier to maintain is a technical problem that needs to be solved in this field. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0003] The utility model aims at providing a compact floating head formula detachable steam generator for heat pump system.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme:

[0005] A compact floating head formula detachable steam generator for heat pump system, comprising a cylinder body, one end of the outer side of the cylinder body is fixedly connected with a cylinder body flange, the outer side of the cylinder body flange is installed with a first tube plate, the outer side of the first tube plate is installed with a tube box end cover, the other end of the outer side of the cylinder body is fixedly connected with a cylinder body tail sealing plate, the inside of the cylinder body is installed with a floating head tube box on one side close to the cylinder body tail sealing plate, the outer side of the floating head tube box is fixedly connected with a second tube plate, the inside of the cylinder body is fixedly connected with a support plate, the inside of the support plate is fixedly connected with a support plate pull rod, and the inside of the cylinder body is installed with an inside-outside reinforced high-efficiency heat exchange pipe between the first tube plate and the second tube plate.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, a cylindrical flange is added to one end of the outer side, along with a first tube sheet and a tube box end cap that can be connected to the cylindrical flange. This facilitates subsequent disassembly and installation, allows for use at any time, and makes it easy to disassemble the internal structure for cleaning and maintenance.

[0007] Furthermore, a connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the outer side of the cylinder, a gas collecting pipe is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting pipe, a steam outlet and an vent are fixedly connected to one side of the outer side of the gas collecting pipe, and identical gas collecting pipe end sealing plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the outer side of the gas collecting pipe.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easier to exchange air with the inside of the cylinder, and it is easier to operate.

[0009] Furthermore, a circulating working fluid inlet and a circulating working fluid outlet are fixedly connected to one side of the outer side of the tube box end cover, and a tube box partition rib one and a tube box partition rib two are fixedly connected to the other side of the outer side of the tube box end cover. A tube box end cover sealing gasket is provided between the tube box end cover and the first tube sheet, and a cylinder flange sealing gasket is provided between the first tube sheet and the cylinder flange. The tube box end cover, the first tube sheet and the cylinder flange are detachably connected by bolts and nuts.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, a sealing gasket can be added between each detachable component to improve the sealing effect and facilitate disassembly and installation.

[0011] Furthermore, a liquid level gauge gas phase interface is fixedly connected to the outer side of the tail seal plate of the cylinder, a liquid level gauge liquid phase interface, a support, a liquid inlet and a discharge outlet are fixedly connected to one side of the outer side of the cylinder, and a floating head tube box partition is fixedly connected to the outer side of the floating head tube box.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the tail end plate of the cylinder is a flat plate structure, which makes the shell side space smaller compared with the traditional elliptical head type, thus reducing the amount of liquid stored in the cylinder. The smaller amount of liquid stored in the cylinder can shorten the start-up time of the heat pump system and make it easier for the system to quickly reach the operating conditions.

[0013] Furthermore, the first tube sheet and the second tube sheet are respectively placed at both ends of the outer side of the inner and outer enhanced high-efficiency heat exchange tubes. The two ends of the outer side of the inner and outer enhanced high-efficiency heat exchange tubes are respectively expanded and welded to the first tube sheet and the second tube sheet. The connecting pipe is connected to the gas collecting pipe and the cylinder body respectively. The circulating working fluid inlet, circulating working fluid outlet, liquid level gauge gas phase interface, liquid level gauge liquid phase interface, liquid inlet and outlet are all connected to the interior of the cylinder body.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easier to use and operate.

[0015] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. The high-efficiency heat exchange tube with internal and external reinforcement can effectively improve the condensation heat transfer performance of the circulating working medium in the heat exchange tube and the evaporation heat transfer performance of the water or solution outside the tube compared with the traditional U-shaped light tube;

[0017] 2. The heat exchange tube and the tube plate are connected by welding and expansion, which is more conducive to the sealing reliability of operation under high temperature conditions compared with the expansion connection method;

[0018] 3. The floating head tube box is an integrated flat plate milling cavity structure, which is smaller and more compact compared with the traditional floating head tube box. The floating head tube box and the outer edge of the tube plate are sealed and connected by welding, which is easier to maintain the heat exchange core compared with the fixed tube plate type heat exchanger. The heat exchange core can be extracted and cleaned as a whole, and the use of heat exchange tubes is less under the same heat exchange capacity compared with the traditional U-shaped light tube heat exchanger, so that the heat exchanger structure is more compact and the cost is lower;

[0019] 4. The pipe arrangement space of the heat exchange tube occupies 2 / 3 of the inner space of the cylinder, and only 1 / 3 of the gas phase space is left. The height of the liquid level in the cylinder is controlled by a liquid level meter, and a plurality of communication pipes are arranged between the upper part of the cylinder and the gas collecting pipe. Compared with the traditional kettle type reboiler, a larger cylinder diameter is not required, the manufacturing cost is lower, the liquid storage amount in the cylinder is less, the tail sealing plate of the cylinder is a flat plate structure, and the shell space is smaller compared with the traditional oval head type, so that the liquid storage amount in the cylinder is less, and the liquid storage amount in the cylinder is less, which can make the heat pump system start-up time shorter, and be more conducive to the system to quickly reach the working condition.
