The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0028] To better understand the technical solutions and beneficial effects of this disclosure, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This invention relates to a steam heat exchanger 10, comprising a heat exchange body 100, a medium inlet / outlet pipe 200, an annular flange 300, and a shell 400. The annular flange 300 is fixedly connected to the end of the medium inlet / outlet pipe 200 located outside the shell 400. Multiple fixing holes 301 are provided around the periphery of the annular flange 300 for mating with external pipe flanges. The shell 400 includes a cover 410 and a sealing ring 420. The cover 410 covers the outside of the heat exchange body 100 and is fixedly connected to it. The cover 410 has a through hole 411 and a mounting groove (not shown in the figure), through which the medium inlet / outlet pipe 200 passes. The sealing ring 420 is disposed within the mounting groove and is press-fitted to the cover 410. The medium inlet / outlet pipe 200 passes through the sealing ring 420 and abuts against the outer wall of the medium inlet / outlet pipe 200.

[0030] In the embodiment, the steam heat exchanger 10 prolongs the service life of the sealing structure by setting the sealing ring 420 between the through hole 411 and the medium inlet and outlet pipe 200 instead of the traditional glass glue sealing mode. At the same time, the sealing ring 420 is installed in the mounting groove on the inner wall of the through hole 411 and abuts against the cover body 410 in interference, and the medium inlet and outlet pipe 200 is arranged in the sealing ring 420 and abuts against each other, so that the sealing effect can be improved, thereby improving the sealing performance of the cover body 410. Further, the mounting groove can prevent displacement of the sealing ring 420 during installation, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the sealing structure.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 one of the embodiments, the medium inlet and outlet pipe 200 includes a medium outlet pipe 210 and a medium inlet pipe 220, the through hole 411 includes an outlet through hole (not shown) corresponding to the medium outlet pipe 210 and an inlet through hole (not shown) corresponding to the medium inlet pipe 220, and the outlet through hole and the inlet through hole are arranged diagonally. It can be understood that the diagonal arrangement of the outlet through hole and the inlet through hole helps to optimize the medium flow path, reduce fluid resistance, and improve heat exchange efficiency. In addition, the diagonal arrangement can also effectively balance the pressure inside and outside the pipe, further strengthen the pressure resistance of the sealing structure, and ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0032] As shown in Figure 4 one of the embodiments, a limiting groove 201 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the medium inlet and outlet pipe 200, the limiting groove 201 is arranged corresponding to the mounting groove, and the sealing ring 420 is embedded in the limiting groove 201. It can be understood that the limiting groove 201 further fixes the position of the sealing ring 420, prevents displacement of the sealing ring 420 due to vibration or temperature change in the subsequent use process, ensures the stability and sealing effect of the sealing ring 420, and thereby improves the reliability and service life of the steam heat exchanger 10. The double fixing mechanism of the limiting groove 201 and the mounting groove effectively improves the anti-deformation ability of the sealing ring 420.

[0033] It should be noted that in the embodiment, the medium inlet and outlet pipe 200 includes a medium outlet pipe 210 and a medium inlet pipe 220, and the medium outlet pipe 210 and the medium inlet pipe 220 are both provided with the limiting groove 201.

[0034] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 one of the embodiments, the shell 400 is provided with a connecting portion 430, and the connecting portion 430 is arranged along the circumference of the shell 400 and connected with the heat exchange main body 100.

[0035] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 one of the embodiments, the connecting portion 430 is provided with a plurality of connecting holes 4301, and the cover body 410 and the heat exchange main body 100 are fastened by a connecting piece 440 through the connecting holes 4301.

[0036] Understandably, the cover 410 is provided with a connecting part 430 having multiple connecting holes 4301 on the side facing the heat exchange body 100. The connector 440 passes through the connecting holes 4301 to fix the cover 410 to the heat exchange body 100, ensuring the stability of the connection between the cover 410 and the heat exchange body 100, preventing loosening due to vibration or temperature difference, and further improving the stability and sealing performance of the overall structure.

[0037] Furthermore, the connection hole 4301 is opened in the outwardly extending connection portion 430, avoiding the direct opening of the hole on the cover 410, reducing structural weak points, not damaging the integrity of the cover 410, and ensuring the sealing and durability between the cover 410 and the heat exchange body 100.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the connecting part 430 and the cover 410 are integrally formed. It can be understood that the integral forming of the connecting part 430 and the cover 410 improves the overall strength of the cover 410 structure, reduces welding points and welding workload, simplifies the manufacturing process, avoids manufacturing defects, and enhances the sealing performance and durability of the cover 410.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the cover 410 is also provided with handles 450, which are located on both sides of the cover 410. Specifically, in this embodiment, the handles 450 are located on both sides in the equipment installation direction. During loading and unloading, the handles 450 provide a gripping position, making it easier to apply force and reducing the labor intensity during transportation and loading / unloading.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, an insulation layer 500 is provided on the outer side of the cover 410. The design of the insulation layer 500 not only improves thermal efficiency but also enhances the safety of the equipment. Specifically, in this embodiment, the insulation layer 500 is insulation cotton. The insulation cotton can reduce the heat exchange between the medium inlet / outlet pipe 200 of the steam heat exchanger 10 and the internal environment of the cover 410, thereby reducing the temperature of the cover surface, reducing deformation and damage caused by thermal stress, and thus extending the service life of the equipment.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, this disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0042] Steam heat exchangers extend the service life of the sealing structure by replacing the traditional glass glue sealing method with a sealing ring between the through hole and the medium inlet and outlet pipes.

[0043] The sealing ring is installed in the mounting groove on the inner wall of the through hole and fits against the cover body. The medium inlet and outlet pipes pass through the sealing ring and abut against each other, which can improve the sealing effect and thus improve the sealing performance of the cover body.

[0044] The mounting groove can prevent displacement of the sealing ring during mounting, improving stability and reliability of the sealing structure.

[0045] The above embodiments only express several embodiments of the present disclosure, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of the disclosed patent. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the present disclosure, several modifications and improvements can be made, which are within the scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the present disclosure patent should be subject to the appended claims.
