[0041] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0042] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0043] In the description of the utility model, it is necessary to explain, unless another explicit provision and limitation, the term "installation", "link", "connection" should do the broad sense understanding, for example, can be fixed connection, also can be detachable connection, or integrally connected;Can be mechanical connection, also can be electrical connection;Can be directly connected, also can be indirectly connected through the intermediate medium, can be the communication inside two elements.For the ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above-mentioned terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0044] As Figure 1 And Figure 2 The utility model discloses a heat exchanger, including shell 10 and the heat exchange pipe in shell 10, shell 10 includes containing space 11, with containing space 11 The shell side liquid inlet 12 and shell side liquid outlet 13, and the tube side liquid inlet 14 and tube side liquid outlet 15, containing space 11 is used to contain heat exchange pipe and shell side liquid, heat exchange pipe is communicated with tube side liquid inlet 14 and tube side liquid outlet 15, containing space 11 with shell side liquid inlet 12 and shell side liquid outlet 13, heat exchanger works, and the tube side liquid passes through tube side liquid inlet 14 and enters the heat exchange pipe, and the shell side liquid enters containing space 11 by shell side liquid inlet 12, and the shell side liquid and tube side liquid have temperature difference, and the heat exchange pipe is made of heat conducting material, therefore, when the shell side liquid contacts heat exchange pipe, can heat exchange with the tube side liquid in it, and the specific heat exchange process can be that the tube side liquid is heated, and the shell side liquid is cooled, or the tube side liquid is cooled, and the shell side liquid is heated.

[0045] As Figure 2 In the embodiment one shown in the figure, containing space 11 is equipped with first baffle 30 and second baffle 40 along the axial direction interval arrangement of shell 10, and there is heat exchange area 16 between first baffle 30 and second baffle 40, and heat exchange pipe carries out heat exchange in this heat exchange area 16, and the shell side liquid flows into heat exchange area 16 and between adjacent heat exchange area 16 after flowing in by shell side liquid inlet 12, and then flows out from shell side liquid outlet 13, in this process, the flow of shell side liquid is guided through first baffle 30 and second baffle 40, specifically, the outer side wall of first baffle 30 is adapted with the inner wall of shell 10, and first baffle 30 has first passageway 31 that penetrates its upper and lower surfaces, and the first passageway 31 communicates the space above and below first baffle 30, and the outer side wall of second baffle 40 is spaced apart from the inner wall of shell 10 to form second passageway 41, and second passageway 41 communicates the space above and below second baffle 40, and first passageway 31 is communicated with second passageway 41.

[0046] Due to the first partition plate 30 and the second partition plate 40 arranged in the containing space 11, the shell side liquid can flow and diffuse in one direction and then turn to flow in another direction, forming a more tortuous flow channel. The heat exchange tubes are arranged in the heat exchange area 16 between the first partition plate 30 and the second partition plate 40. The first channel 31 and the second channel 41 are respectively connected to each heat exchange area 16. The shell side liquid prolongs the flow path and can contact more heat exchange tubes in a limited space, so that the shell side liquid and the tube side liquid can be fully heat exchanged, and the heat exchange efficiency is improved. Due to the different positions of the first channel 31 and the second channel 41, the shell side liquid can be fully distributed in the entire containing space 11, so that the heat exchange tubes in different areas can be heat exchanged with the shell side liquid, and the shell side liquid flows in a direction according to the flow channel, realizing rapid flow and renewal of the shell side liquid, avoiding the situation that part of the shell side liquid leaves the heat exchanger without being fully heat exchanged. In addition, when the shell side liquid flows through each turn, due to the inertial effect, vortex and velocity gradient are generated at the corner, which helps to break the boundary layer, promotes the mixing of the fluid inside, and enhances the heat transfer effect.

[0047] It should be noted that the outer side wall of the first partition plate 30 is matched with the inner wall of the shell 10, that is, the outer diameter corresponding to the outer side wall of the first partition plate 30 is basically equivalent to the inner diameter corresponding to the inner wall of the shell 10. The outer side wall of the first partition plate 30 can be tightly attached to the inner wall of the shell 10, or there can be an installation tolerance. Even if there is a small gap, the shell side liquid cannot flow through the gap in large quantities, at most a small amount of liquid seeps, and has no effect on the flow direction of most of the shell side liquid.

[0048] Based on the first embodiment, the heat exchanger in the second embodiment shown in Figure 3 The third partition plate 50 is arranged in the containing space 11. The first partition plate 30 and the second partition plate 40 are respectively arranged at different heights of the third partition plate 50. The third partition plate 50 is arranged along the axial direction. The third partition plate 50 is arranged around the first partition plate 30 and the second partition plate 40 in a circumferential direction to divide each heat exchange area 16 into a plurality of sector-shaped parts 161. Each sector-shaped part 161 is connected to the first flow channel and the second flow channel. The shell side liquid can diffuse or converge in the sector-shaped part 161 to further guide the flow direction of the shell side liquid and make the shell side liquid more evenly distributed in each sector-shaped part 161, reducing the situation that part of the shell side liquid leaves the heat exchanger without being fully heat exchanged, and reducing the fluid dead zone to ensure that the shell side liquid fully flows in the entire containing space 11. In addition, due to the guiding effect of the sector-shaped part 161, the overall pressure drop can be controlled within a reasonable range while ensuring sufficient heat exchange efficiency, and the energy consumption for transportation is reduced.

[0049] As preferred, it is necessary to ensure the relative independence of each sector 161 in the circumferential direction, that is, to control the circumferential flow of the shell side liquid at the sector 161 close to the inner wall of the shell 10 as little as possible, and to move as much as possible in the axial direction through the second flow channel, so in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The outer side wall of the third partition plate 50 is adapted to the inner wall of the shell 10, that is, the outer diameter of the outer side wall of the third partition plate 50 corresponds to the inner diameter of the inner wall of the shell 10, and the outer side wall of the third partition plate 50 can be in close contact with the inner wall of the shell 10 or there can be an installation tolerance. Even if there is a small gap, the shell side liquid cannot flow in large quantities through the gap, at most a small amount of liquid seeps, and has no effect on the flow direction of most of the shell side liquid; as shown in Figure 4 The outer side wall of the third partition plate 50 can be flush with the outer side wall of the first partition plate 30. Of course, due to machining errors or installation errors, the outer side wall of the third partition plate 50 cannot be flush with the outer side wall of the first partition plate 30 during actual installation, and a reasonable range of errors is allowed. Such arrangement enables the shell side liquid in the same sector 161 to move directly in the axial direction to the next sector 161, avoiding the exchange of shell side liquid between adjacent sectors 161 of the same heat exchange region 16 close to the inner wall of the shell 10, which on the one hand can reduce turbulence and turbulence, and on the other hand, if the shell side liquid of adjacent sectors 161 of the same heat exchange region 16 exchanges with each other close to the inner wall of the shell 10, it will cause part of the shell side liquid to flow circumferentially close to the inner wall of the shell 10, which may interfere with the axial flow in the second passage 41 of the shell side liquid, and further affect the rapid flow and update of the shell side liquid in the containing space 11, avoiding the long-term retention of part of the shell side liquid in the containing space 11.

[0050] In another embodiment, the circumferential flow of the shell side liquid can be limited by providing a plurality of lugs on the outer side plate of the second partition plate 40. In this embodiment, the outer side wall of the third partition plate 50 can not be in contact with the inner wall of the shell 10, but there is a gap, although it can also make part of the shell side liquid flow, but the third partition plate 50 is arranged in the axial direction, the gap is relatively long and narrow, the flow resistance is large, and the outer side wall of the lug is adapted to the inner wall of the shell 10, the second passage 41 is located between adjacent lugs, the flow resistance is small, the shell side liquid preferentially flows in the axial direction, avoiding the exchange of shell side liquid between adjacent sectors 161 of the same heat exchange region 16 close to the inner wall of the shell 10, and promoting more shell side liquid to flow in the axial direction in the second passage 41 rather than in the circumferential direction, thereby guiding the flow direction of the shell side liquid; On the other hand, the lugs provided on the outer periphery of the second partition plate 40 are beneficial to the limiting of the second partition plate 40 and the inner wall of the shell 10, and are beneficial to the limiting of the second partition plate 40 or the first partition plate 30, the second partition plate 40 and the third partition plate 50 as a whole in the shell.

[0051] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4In the shown second embodiment, the first channel 31 is located in the center of the first partition plate 30, and the inner side walls of the plurality of third partition plates 50 are spaced apart from each other, that is, the plurality of third partition plates 50 are in communication with the first channel 31 corresponding to the central outflow space surrounding the center, avoiding interference with the shell side liquid flowing through the first channel 31 in different heat exchange regions 16, and the shell side liquid in different sectors in the same heat exchange region 16 can diffuse or converge at the inner side walls of the third partition plates 50, which helps to improve the temperature uniformity of the shell side liquid in the same heat exchange region 16, avoiding the situation that the shell side liquid in a certain sector 161 is supercooled or overheated; it can also reduce the risk of deformation or damage of the third partition plate 50 due to excessive temperature gradient.

[0052] As shown in the first embodiment, Figure 2 the heat exchange tube includes a plurality of heat exchange tube segments 21 located in each heat exchange region 16, and part of the heat exchange tube segments 21 extend circumferentially in the heat exchange region 16, and part of the heat exchange tube extends axially in the heat exchange region 16. The circumferential extension part and the axial extension part of the heat exchange tube are in communication, that is, they are the same heat exchange tube. In this way, the heat exchange tube not only utilizes the circumferential space in the heat exchange region 16, but also utilizes the axial space, thereby increasing the contact area with the shell side liquid to improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0053] There are many ways for the heat exchange tube to enter and exit the heat exchange region 16. In some embodiments, the heat exchange tube can enter and exit the heat exchange region 16 through the first channel 31 or the second channel 41; while in the two embodiments shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 the first partition plate 30 and / or the second partition plate 40 have a pipe inlet hole 32 and a pipe outlet hole 33, the heat exchange tube enters the heat exchange region 16 through the pipe inlet hole 32, and the heat exchange tube exits the heat exchange region 16 through the pipe outlet hole 33. The pipe inlet hole 32 and the pipe outlet hole 33 can position the heat exchange tube, so that the heat exchange tube is fixed in position in the heat exchange region 16 and is uniformly distributed, and also does not occupy the space of the first channel 31 and the second channel 41, which not only ensures the installation stability and heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange tube, but also ensures that the shell side liquid flows in the first channel 31 and the second channel 41 without being disturbed. The part of the heat exchange tube connected to the pipe inlet hole and the pipe outlet hole 33 is an axially extending part.

[0054] While in the second embodiment shown in Figure 3 based on the combined structure of the first partition plate 30, the second partition plate 40 and the third partition plate 50, the sectors 161 are uniformly distributed in the combined structure, and the heat exchange tube includes a plurality of heat exchange tube segments 21 located in each sector 161, which exchanges heat with the shell side liquid flowing in the sector 161. As a preferred embodiment, at least part of the heat exchange tube segments 21 are arranged axially in the sector 161, so as to make full use of the axial space in the heat exchange region 16, increase the contact area between the heat exchange tube and the shell side liquid, and improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0056] The first partition plate 30 and the second partition plate 40 are arranged in various ways in the axial direction, and as preferred, the first partition plate 30 and the second partition plate 40 are arranged in an alternating manner in the axial direction in the embodiment I shown in Figure 2 and the embodiment II shown in Figure 3 The first partition plate 30 and the second partition plate 40 are arranged in various ways in the axial direction, and as preferred, the first partition plate 30 and the second partition plate 40 are arranged in an alternating manner in the axial direction in the embodiment I shown in Figure 3 The first partition plate 30 is closest to the shell side liquid inlet 12, so that the shell side liquid quickly enters the first channel 31 and then contacts the heat exchange tube between the first partition plate 30 and the second partition plate 40 for heat exchange; and in the embodiment II shown in

[0057] The first partition plate 30 and the second partition plate 40 are arranged in various ways in the axial direction, and as preferred, the first partition plate 30 and the second partition plate 40 are arranged in an alternating manner in the axial direction in the embodiment I shown in Figure 4 The first partition plate 30 is closest to the shell side liquid inlet 12, so that the shell side liquid quickly enters the first channel 31 and then contacts the heat exchange tube between the first partition plate 30 and the second partition plate 40 for heat exchange; and in the embodiment II shown in

[0058] The first partition plate 30 and the second partition plate 40 are arranged in various ways in the axial direction, and as preferred, the first partition plate 30 and the second partition plate 40 are arranged in an alternating manner in the axial direction in the embodiment I shown in Figure 4As shown, the top of the third partition plate 50 is also provided with a lifting hole 52 for facilitating lifting.

[0059] As shown in the embodiment one, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the shell side liquid outlet 13 is located at the bottom of the shell 10, and the bottom surface of the third partition plate 50 is lower than the lower surface of the first partition plate 30 or the second partition plate 40 closest to the shell side liquid outlet 13, so that the first partition plate 30 or the second partition plate 40 is arranged spaced apart from the bottom of the shell 10, and a passage communicated with the shell side liquid outlet 13 is formed, so as to ensure smooth outflow of the shell side liquid after heat exchange, and realize rapid renewal of the shell side liquid in the containing space 11.

[0060] As shown in the embodiment two, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the embodiment two, the first partition plate 30 and the second partition plate 40 are provided with radially extending clamping grooves 34, and the third partition plate 50 is clamped and fixed with the clamping grooves 34 on the first partition plate 30 and the second partition plate 40, respectively. By using the above arrangement, the installation and disassembly are facilitated, the installation time is greatly shortened, and the construction efficiency is improved. Moreover, the above arrangement can ensure that the plurality of fan-shaped parts 161 are spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction and are communicated only through the first passage 31 and the second passage 41, so as to ensure the guiding effect on the shell side liquid. The clamping mode also has higher flexibility and can adapt to various application scenarios. The three partition plates are clamped with each other, and have high structural stability, so as to ensure the stability of the flow channel and the heat exchange pipe therebetween, and ensure the heat exchange efficiency.

[0061] Of course, in other embodiments, the third partition plate 50 can also be provided with a radially extending clamping groove 34, and the first partition plate 30 and the second partition plate 40 are clamped and fixed with the clamping groove 34, respectively. Alternatively, the third partition plate 50, the first partition plate 30 and the second partition plate 40 are all provided with radially extending clamping grooves 34, and the radial length of the clamping groove 34 is half of the radial length of the third partition plate 50, so that after the first partition plate 30 is clamped with the third partition plate 50, the outer side wall is substantially aligned, and after the second partition plate 40 is clamped with the third partition plate 50, the outer side wall of the second partition plate 40 can form a second flow channel with the inner wall of the shell 10.

[0062] As shown in the embodiment two, Figure 6 The difference between the present embodiment and the embodiment one is that the present embodiment only has one heat exchange region 16. The shell side liquid in the containing space can be directed to move in the heat exchange region 16 by the partitioning effect of the first partition plate 30 and the second partition plate 40. The shell side liquid in the heat exchange region flows rapidly and is constantly renewed, so that the heat exchange pipe 20 can be fully heat exchanged in the heat exchange region 16, and the phenomenon of insufficient heat exchange caused by the shell side liquid remaining around the pipe body is avoided.
