The warm tube unit in the present application is used for heating the condensate in the shell side of the present application, so as to reduce the temperature difference between the condensate in the cylinder 2 and the heat source in the heat exchange tube 4, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the heat exchange tube 4. The warm tube unit in the present application is used for preheating and heating the condensate, and based on this, conventional forms such as electric heating, steam heating or heat conducting oil heating can be adopted.
[0023] Further, the warm tube unit at least comprises a heat source inlet pipeline 10 arranged at a lower portion of the cylinder 2, and the heat source inlet pipeline 10 is in communication with a heating tube 11 arranged in an inner portion of the cylinder 2 and parallel to the heat exchange tube 4. Through the above arrangement, the installation of the heating tube 11 can be facilitated, and effective heating around the heat exchange tube 4 can be realized, so as to warm the heat exchange tube 4 and reduce the temperature difference between the condensate and the heat source in the heat exchange tube 4.
[0024] Further, the heating tube 11 is arranged at a middle lower portion of the cylinder 2, and the heating tube 11 is three in number. One of the heating tubes 11 is arranged at a middle position of the cylinder 2, and the other two heating tubes 11 are arranged at two sides of the cylinder 2. Through the above arrangement, the three heating tubes 11 can be uniformly arranged in the inner portion of the cylinder 2. This arrangement not only can uniformly heat the condensate to provide the efficiency of generating steam, but also can uniformly heat the condensate, so as to keep the temperature difference between the condensate in the cylinder 2 and the heat source in the heat exchange tube 4 substantially consistent, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the heat exchange tube 4.
[0025] Further, the end of the heating pipe 11 is provided with a pipe cap 12, and the surface of the heating pipe 11 is uniformly provided with steam holes 13. The utility model adopts the steam to heat the condensate, and more preferably adopts the steam directly into the condensate to heat, which can effectively improve the heating efficiency; meanwhile, the utility model is mainly used for producing steam, and through the above-mentioned heating mode, the characteristics of convenient pipe arrangement and energy saving can be achieved.
[0026] Further, the end of the heat source inlet pipeline 10 is provided with a flange plate 14 connected with the steam pipe network. The flange plate 14 can realize convenient connection.
[0027] Further, a plurality of supporting rods 15 for fixing the heat source inlet pipeline 10 are arranged on the corresponding heat source inlet pipeline 10 in the cylinder body 2, one end of the supporting rod 15 is connected with the outer wall of the heat source inlet pipeline 10, and the other end of the supporting rod 15 is connected with the inner wall of the cylinder body 2.

[0031] The specific working process of the utility model is as follows: when the utility model is used, the condensate enters the cylinder 2, the steam in the steam pipe network enters the heating pipe 11 through the heat source inlet pipeline 10, and realizes mixing and temperature rise by entering the condensate through the uniformly distributed steam holes 13, the condensate is heated at a rate of not more than 30 DEG C per hour, so that the condensate temperature in the cylinder 2 rises to about 254 DEG C when the heat source enters the heat exchange pipe 4; at this time, the heat source (process gas) enters the heat exchange pipe 4 and exchanges heat with the condensate in the cylinder 2, the above process greatly shortens the temperature difference between the tube and the shell when the initial driving is started, effectively prevents the heat exchange pipe cracking problem caused by the temperature difference stress; further, by adopting the hydraulic expansion connection mode between the tube bundle 3 and the heat exchange pipe 4, the plastic deformation zone cracking caused by hole machining deviation and mechanical expansion at the tube plate can be effectively reduced, the possibility of chlorine ion aggregation and deposition is reduced, and the tube plate and heat exchange pipe material are changed to corrosion-resistant 15CrMOR, thereby effectively reducing the occurrence of heat exchange pipe stress corrosion cracking. Through the above setting, the operation time of the heat exchange pipe can be greatly improved, and the service life is effectively prolonged; thereby the advantages of reducing the maintenance engineering quantity and the maintenance cost are achieved.
