[0020] Refer to Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the right side of the mixing chamber 4 is provided with a diffuser chamber 6, and the diffuser chamber 6 is connected with the water inlet end of the water outlet pipe 3 through flange. The diffuser chamber 6 adopts a gradually expanding conical channel, and the expansion angle is 5°-15°. The water entering the diffuser chamber 6 can gradually convert the kinetic energy of high-speed mixed fluid into pressure energy, restore pressure, and reduce the flow rate of water flow and increase the pressure, so that the mixed water flow tends to be uniform and stable.

[0021] Refer to Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the inner cavity of the diffuser chamber 6 is installed with a grid plate, and the grid plate is provided with a plurality of grid plates. The opening rate of each layer of grid plate is 70%-85%, the distance between adjacent layers is 1 / 8-1 / 6 of the length of the diffuser chamber, and the diameter of the honeycomb hole is 2-4mm. When the water flow passes through the grid plate, the multiple grid plates can inhibit the formation of vortex, optimize the streamline distribution of water flow, and the outlet end of the diffuser chamber 6 is provided with an anti-erosion bushing. The bushing material is tungsten carbide-cobalt hard alloy, the thickness is 2-3mm, the inner surface of the bushing is processed with fish scale-shaped micro texture with a depth of 0.05-0.1mm, the single texture length of the fish scale-shaped micro texture is 0.2-0.5mm, the texture arrangement density is 200-400 pieces / cm², and the texture inclination angle is 15°-30°. The diffuser chamber 6 can reduce the cavitation risk through pressure recovery, and avoid erosion damage to the water outlet pipe 3.

[0022] In addition, the inner wall of the mixing chamber 4 is installed with fins, and the fins are provided with a plurality of fins.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the surface of the water outlet pipe 3 is provided with a temperature sensor 7, and the surface of the steam pipe 1 is provided with a regulating valve 8, the valve core of the regulating valve 8 adopts a double-layer structure, the outer layer is a 304 stainless steel base, and the inner layer is a copper-graphite alloy bushing with a thickness of 1-2 mm, and a V-shaped flow guide groove is formed on the surface of the bushing.

[0025] Specifically, the working process or principle of the steam pipeline mixing heater is as follows: during use, steam is delivered from the water inlet pipe 2 and the steam pipe 1 into the mixing chamber 4. When the water is delivered to the nozzle 5, it is guided by the flow guide groove on the inner wall of the nozzle 5 to reduce the occurrence of turbulent flow, and then the water flow is formed into a shear force with the steam sprayed from the steam pipe 1 when it is sprayed out of the nozzle 5, so that the water flow and the steam impact the fins on the inner wall of the mixing chamber 4, and then the water flow and the steam are disturbed to mix with each other in the mixing chamber 4, thereby heating the water flow. In addition, when the water flow enters the diffuser chamber 6, the grid plate can reduce the impact of the water flow and optimize the heated water flow, so that the water can be discharged from the water outlet pipe 3. The temperature sensor 7 at the water outlet pipe 3 can monitor the temperature of the water in the water outlet pipe 3 in real time and feed back the temperature to the controller, so that when the temperature deviation of the water flow exceeds the set threshold value, the controller can control the size of the opening of the regulating valve 8, thereby controlling the delivery amount of the steam and the heating temperature of the water flow. The steam pipeline mixing heater has a high heat exchange rate and a low cost compared with other heat exchange equipment.
