Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of petroleum crude oil heating, especially relates to a high-temperature energy-saving crude oil heating and heat exchange device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Most of Chinese crude oil contains high wax (high molecular weight alkanes), which is very viscous at room temperature, making it difficult to transport. For example, Daqing crude oil, which accounts for about one-third of China's output, contains about 26% wax and has a freezing point of up to 32 degrees Celsius. After heating, the thermal motion of the crude oil molecules is enhanced, and the mutual restraint between them is weakened. On the one hand, it makes liquid hydrocarbons thinner and can dissolve more wax; on the other hand, it makes the sponge-like wax structure loose and disintegrated, and forms many small particles of wax distributed in liquid hydrocarbons. Solid hydrocarbons become dispersed phase, and liquid hydrocarbons become continuous phase, so that crude oil can flow along the pipeline for transportation.

[0003] A crude oil heating device with application number 202320882318.1 is disclosed, which includes an air energy heat pump, a water-oil heat exchanger, an air-oil heat exchanger, a solar heat collector, and a ground source heat exchanger. The water outlet pipe and the water inlet pipe of the air energy heat pump are connected to the water-oil heat exchanger to form a closed heat exchange loop. The water-oil heat exchanger has a heat exchanger tube inside, and the two ends of the heat exchanger tube are connected to the heat exchanger oil pipe to complete water-oil heat exchange. However, water-oil heat exchange cannot heat crude oil to 75°C in high-altitude cold regions, and cannot meet the needs of oilfields in high-altitude cold regions. SUMMARY

[0009] Preferably, the tube-shell gas-oil heat exchanger includes a hollow tube shell, the two ends of the tube shell are sealed plates, and a plurality of heat exchange tubes penetrating the two sealed plates are arranged in the tube shell along the length direction of the tube shell.
