The traditional heat exchanger has outstanding problems in fluid flow, for example, the shell fluid flow of the segmental baffle heat exchanger will form a large number of flow dead zones, resulting in energy waste, and the heat transfer efficiency is extremely low, and the flow resistance is large, which greatly increases the power consumption. At the same time, the traditional heat exchanger is difficult to adapt to the change of fluid flow and flow rate, which seriously restricts the continuity and stability of production. In terms of structural stability, the traditional heat exchanger also has many hidden dangers. After a long period of operation, the baffle is easy to loosen and deform under the influence of fluid scouring and temperature change, especially in high temperature and high pressure environment, the connection part of the baffle and other parts is easy to damage, which further causes safety accidents such as leakage. This not only greatly increases the maintenance cost, but also seriously affects the production progress due to equipment downtime, resulting in significant economic losses. The unstable structure in turn affects the fluid flow and heat transfer efficiency, forming a vicious cycle. Because of the above problems, the spiral baffle heat exchanger which can optimize fluid flow and enhance stability emerges as the times require, so as to meet the higher demand of industrial production.
