Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of graphite heat exchangers, and more particularly to a circular block perforated graphite heat exchanger. Background Technology
[0002] In many industrial production fields such as chemical, metallurgical, and pharmaceutical industries, heat exchange is a crucial process. The circular block graphite heat exchanger, with its excellent corrosion resistance, high thermal conductivity, and low coefficient of thermal expansion, has become an ideal device for heat exchange operations involving corrosive media.
[0003] In existing technologies, circular perforated graphite heat exchangers primarily work by allowing hot and cold fluids to flow in separate channels. Utilizing the thermal conductivity of graphite, heat is transferred from the high-temperature fluid to the low-temperature fluid, thus completing the heat exchange process. Generally, the fluid to be heated is introduced into specific channels of the heat exchanger, undergoes heat exchange, and then flows out from the corresponding outlet. Some heat exchangers incorporate simple filtration devices to remove impurities from the fluid, ensuring efficient heat exchange. Regarding cleaning, some traditional methods involve periodic manual disassembly and cleaning of the heat exchanger, but this method is cumbersome and inefficient.
[0004] Due to factors related to the fluid itself and changes in operating conditions, such as temperature and pressure fluctuations, a large amount of impurities tend to accumulate on the inner wall of the heat exchanger and the outer wall of the heat exchange tubes during long-term use. These impurities affect the flow state of the fluid, reduce heat transfer efficiency, and consequently, prevent the efficient transfer of heat between hot and cold fluids, resulting in a significant reduction in the heat exchange efficiency of the entire production process. To address this issue, a circular block perforated graphite heat exchanger is proposed. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a circular block-type graphite heat exchanger, comprising a heat exchanger body 1, which serves as the basic frame of the entire device, accommodating and protecting the internal mechanisms for normal operation. The heat exchanger body 1 contains a cleaning mechanism 2 and a heat exchange filtration mechanism 3. The cleaning mechanism 2 removes fouling from the heat exchanger body 1 to maintain efficient heat exchange. The heat exchange filtration mechanism 3 facilitates heat exchange and impurity filtration between hot and cold fluids. The cleaning mechanism 2 includes connecting pipes 211, providing a channel for fluid flow and connecting the various components. The connecting pipes 211 are located on the left and right sides of the heat exchanger body 1. A motor 212 is fixedly connected to the left side of a connecting pipe 211 to provide power for the cleaning action. One end of a rotating rod 213 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 212 to transmit the power of the motor 212. A brush plate 214 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 213. A reciprocating screw 215 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating rod 213 to convert the rotational motion into the linear reciprocating motion of the cleaning scraper 216. The reciprocating screw 215 is set on the inner wall of the heat exchanger body 1. The cleaning scraper 216 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the reciprocating screw 215 to scrape away stubborn dirt on the inner wall and the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 313.
[0026] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 4The heat exchange filtration mechanism 3 includes a sealing cover 311 to prevent fluid leakage and protect internal components. The outer wall of the sealing cover 311 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the heat exchanger body 1. The bottom of the sealing cover 311 has a discharge port for discharging impurities. The outer walls of the two connecting pipes 211 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two sealing covers 311 to ensure smooth fluid flow between components. The heat exchange filtration mechanism 3 also includes a filter screen 312 to filter impurities in the fluid and avoid affecting the heat exchange effect. The filter screen 312 is set on the inner wall of a sealing cover 311. The outer wall of the filter screen 312 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the left end of the heat exchange tube 313. The heat exchange filtration mechanism 3 also includes a heat exchange tube 313, which is the core component for heat exchange. Hot and cold fluids transfer heat through its tube wall. Both ends of the heat exchange tube 313 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat exchanger body 1. The outer wall of the heat exchange tube 313 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning scraper 216 for easy cleaning and maintenance by the cleaning scraper 216.
[0027] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 4 The heat exchange filtration mechanism 3 also includes a fluid inlet 314, which is a channel for the fluid to be heat exchanged to enter the heat exchanger. The fluid inlet 314 is located at the top of the outer wall of the heat exchanger body 1. The heat exchange filtration mechanism 3 also includes a fluid outlet 315, which is a channel for the fluid to flow out after heat exchange. The fluid outlet 315 is located at the bottom of the outer wall of the heat exchanger body 1. The heat exchange filtration mechanism 3 also includes a fluid inlet 316, which is a channel for another fluid to be heat exchanged to enter. The fluid inlet 316 is located at the top of the outer wall of a connecting pipe 211. The heat exchange filtration mechanism 3 also includes a fluid outlet 317, which is a channel for the fluid to flow out after heat exchange. The fluid outlet 317 is located at the bottom of the outer wall of another connecting pipe 211.
[0028] Working principle: During heat exchange in the heat exchanger body 1, the two fluids to be exchanged enter the heat exchanger from different inlets. One fluid enters the heat exchanger body 1 from fluid inlet 314 and flows around the heat exchange tube 313. The other fluid enters the connecting pipe 211 from fluid inlet 316, then flows into the sealing cover 311, and finally enters the heat exchange tube 313. During the flow around the heat exchange tube 313, heat exchange occurs through the tube wall. The hot fluid transfers heat to the cold fluid, thus achieving heat exchange. During this process, the filter screen 312 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing cover 311 filters the fluid entering the sealing cover 311, preventing impurities in the fluid from entering and affecting the heat exchange effect. After heat exchange, the two fluids flow out of the heat exchanger body 1 from fluid outlet 315 and fluid outlet 317, respectively, thus completing the entire heat exchange and filtration process.
[0029] When cleaning of the interior of the heat exchanger body 1 is required, the motor 212 on the left side of the connecting pipe 211 is started. The motor 212 drives the rotating rod 213 at the output end to rotate, and the brush plate 214 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 213 rotates accordingly. The brush plate 214 can scrape off the impurities attached to the surface of the filter screen 312, thereby cleaning the filter screen 312 and preventing excessive impurities from adhering to the surface of the filter screen 312 and affecting its filtration effect. At the same time, the rotating rod 213 drives the reciprocating screw 215 at the other end to rotate. The cleaning scraper 216 is connected to the outer wall of the reciprocating screw 215 by a thread. When the screw rotates, the cleaning scraper 216 will move back and forth in a straight line along the reciprocating screw 215. During the movement, the cleaning scraper 216 can scrape off impurities on the inner wall of the heat exchanger body 1 and the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 313, thereby cleaning the inner wall of the heat exchanger body 1 and the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 313. This can prevent impurities from adhering to the inner wall of the heat exchanger body 1 and the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 313, thus preventing impurities from adhering to the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 313 and affecting its heat exchange effect.
