Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protective gas cooling, specifically a composite tube sheet integral series plate type protective gas cooler. Background Technology
[0002] The protective gas (N2+H2) cooler is a strip cooling device used in cold rolling mills for strip galvanizing lines and continuous annealing furnaces. These furnaces are filled with a protective gas with a low dew point and low oxygen content, allowing the strip to complete its processing under a reducing protective atmosphere. This cooler is a key piece of equipment in the strip cooling process, and its structure generally adopts a finned tube heat exchanger.
[0003] However, traditional coolers suffer from structural defects that lead to scaling in the water chamber, blockage of heat exchange tubes, and cracks in the weld joints due to high temperatures, which can cause water to leak into the furnace and raise the dew point of the protective gas.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-2This utility model provides a technical solution: a composite tube sheet integral finned protective gas cooler, including an outer shell, heat exchange tubes, and fins 4; the outer shell includes a U-shaped protective plate 1, side plates 6, and a first tube sheet 7, a pair of side plates 6 are fixedly installed on the U-shaped protective plate 1, the heat exchange tubes are U-shaped heat exchange tubes 2 and are bent from a single tube, a plurality of U-shaped heat exchange tubes 2 are installed in the outer shell, and integral fins 4 are expanded and connected to the plurality of U-shaped heat exchange tubes 2, the first tube sheet 7 is fixedly installed on a pair of side plates 6 on the opposite side of the U-shaped protective plate 1 to form the outer shell, a second tube sheet 9 is fixedly installed on the other side of the first tube sheet 7 through a connecting protective component, a water chamber 14 is fixedly installed on the second tube sheet 9, and a plurality of U-shaped tubes have one end passing through the first tube sheet 7 and the second tube sheet. 9. Several U-shaped tubes are welded to the second tube sheet 9 and the first tube sheet 7. By installing the U-shaped protective plate 1, the side plate 6, and the first tube sheet 7, a relatively closed outer shell can be formed. Heat exchange tubes can be installed to perform heat exchange. By using U-shaped heat exchange tubes 2 and bending them as a whole tube, it can be ensured that there are no weld points inside the furnace. By making the heat exchange tubes pass through the first tube sheet 7 and the second tube sheet 9 and weld them to the first tube sheet 7 and the second tube sheet 9, all weld joints can be placed outside the furnace, thereby effectively preventing water leakage into the furnace and avoiding the rise of the protective gas dew point. By using integral fins 4 and making the fins 4 integrally expanded with the heat exchange tubes, the heat exchange area per unit volume is relatively large, which greatly improves the heat exchange efficiency.
[0021] Furthermore, a first support plate 3 and a second support plate 5 are fixedly installed inside the outer shell to support several U-shaped heat exchange tubes 2. The installation of the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 5 can support several U-shaped tubes with fins 4.
[0022] Furthermore, a sealing gasket and a water chamber flange 11 are provided between the second tube sheet 9 and the water chamber 14. The sealing gasket can play a sealing role, and the water chamber flange 11 is installed to facilitate the installation of the water chamber 14.
[0023] Furthermore, an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe are fixedly connected to the water chamber 14, and inlet and outlet flanges 13 are fixedly connected to both the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe. By installing the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe, it can be used for water intake and drainage.

[0025] Furthermore, the connecting protective component is a composite connecting guard plate 8, which is frame-shaped. By installing the composite connecting guard plate 8, the composite connecting guard plate 8 is connected to the first tube sheet 7 and the second tube sheet 9 to form a cavity. An inspection valve for inspection is set on the cavity, which can observe the working condition of the cavity at any time. This allows the second tube sheet 9 and the water chamber 14 connected to it to be kept away from the heat source, thereby effectively preventing pipe opening cracks caused by scaling.
[0026] Furthermore, the side panel 4 adopts an edge-bent design. By setting the side panel to an edge-bent design, its rigidity can be enhanced, thereby improving the stability of the outer shell.
