Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a finned tube high-efficiency heat exchanger, belonging to the field of heat exchanger technology. Background Technology
[0002] Shell-and-tube heat exchangers are widely used heat exchange equipment in refining and chemical production. They mainly consist of tube bundles, tube sheets, shells, end caps, and baffles. The heat exchange tubes in the tube bundle are the core component of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The heat exchange tubes are fixed to the tube sheet at both ends, either by expansion joints or welding. One fluid flows inside the tubes, and the other flows outside, exchanging heat through the tube walls. Therefore, the outer surface area of the tube walls effectively increases the heat exchanger's heat exchange capacity. Heat exchange tubes with longitudinal fins are one type of heat exchange tube that effectively increases the heat exchange area, but because of the fins, they cannot pass through ordinary baffles. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown; therefore, a baffle type suitable for longitudinal finned heat exchange tubes is needed, while also maintaining the support of the baffle for the heat exchange tubes. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a finned tube high-efficiency heat exchanger that solves the problem of supporting longitudinal finned heat exchange tubes inside the equipment, ensures the stability of the tube bundle, and improves the operational reliability and service life of the heat exchanger.
[0004] The present invention discloses a finned tube high-efficiency heat exchanger, comprising two tube boxes, a tube sheet, fasteners, supports, and a shell. The supports are used to support the shell. The two tube boxes are respectively placed at both ends of the shell through the tube sheet and fasteners. The tube sheet is used to fix the longitudinal finned heat exchange tubes. The cavity formed by the tube sheet and the shell is provided with longitudinal finned heat exchange tubes, baffles for supporting the longitudinal finned heat exchange tubes, spacer tubes for maintaining the spacing between the baffles, tie rods for fixing the baffles, and nuts for locking the tie rods.
[0005] The spacer tube is sleeved around the outer periphery of the tie rod. The baffles are arranged at intervals along the length of the shell. Each baffle is kept at a fixed distance by the spacer tube and locked in place by the tie rod and nut. The baffles have irregular holes with fin guide grooves. The shape of the fin guide grooves on the baffles matches the fin shape of the longitudinal finned heat exchange tube.
[0006] The fin guide grooves on the baffle plate are circular, elliptical, or rectangular in shape to accommodate the fins of longitudinal finned heat exchange tubes of different shapes.
[0007] The inner wall of the shell is provided with an insulation layer to reduce heat loss and improve the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger.
[0008] The surface of the pull rod is provided with external threads matched with the internal threads of the nut, so that the stability of the baffle and the reliability of the overall structure are ensured by locking and fixing through the nut.
[0009] The material of the distance tube is stainless steel, carbon steel or alloy steel, so that the strength and corrosion resistance of the distance tube in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment are ensured.
[0010] The shell and the support are connected through welding.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the beneficial effects that:
[0012] The fin guiding groove on the baffle is matched with the fin shape of the longitudinal fin heat exchange pipe, and the baffle, the distance tube, the pull rod and the nut are combined and designed, so that the stability of the longitudinal fin heat exchange pipe is further improved, the vibration or displacement of the pipe bundle under the impact of fluid is prevented, the stability of the heat exchanger in the running process is ensured, the distance tube is sleeved on the outer periphery of the pull rod, the fixed distance between each baffle is ensured, the mutual collision or interference between the baffles is avoided, the orderliness and stability of the internal structure of the heat exchanger are maintained, the scouring and abrasion of the fluid on the heat exchange pipe and the baffle are reduced, and the service life of the equipment is prolonged.
