[0040] Working principle:

[0041] The cold-hot side separated heat exchange core body in the embodiment 1 works as follows:

[0042] LNG or liquid hydrogen to be vaporized serves as the cold working fluid, flowing in the first heat exchange channel of the first heat exchange plate. After exchanging heat with the circulating working fluid in the second heat exchange channel, the vaporized working fluid is obtained. Seawater serves as the hot working fluid, flowing through the third heat exchange channel of the third heat exchange plate, exchanging heat with the circulating working fluid in the fourth heat exchange channel. Under the effect of a preset hot and cold temperature difference, the circulating working fluid begins to circulate naturally in the circulation channel. Through the natural circulation of the circulating working fluid, the heat of the hot working fluid is effectively transferred to the cold working fluid, realizing heat exchange between the hot and cold fluids. This avoids direct contact between the cold and hot fluids and reduces problems such as frosting and icing caused by improper flow regulation or excessive temperature difference.

[0043] Specifically, when the hot working fluid flows in the third heat exchange channel, the heat it releases is transferred to the circulating heat exchange working fluid located in the fourth heat exchange channel. After being heated, the circulating heat exchange working fluid in the fourth heat exchange channel flows to the second heat exchange channel of the cold side unit. In the cold side unit, the circulating heat exchange working fluid transfers heat to the cold working fluid flowing through the first heat exchange channel, its own temperature decreases, and it returns to the fourth heat exchange channel of the hot side unit, completing one heat exchange cycle.

[0044] In this embodiment 1, the first heat exchange plate 1 and the second heat exchange plate 2 are alternately stacked to form a cold-side unit, and the third heat exchange plate 3 and the fourth heat exchange plate 4 are alternately stacked to form a hot-side unit. The first heat exchange channel 11 in the first heat exchange plate 1 serves as a flow channel for the cold fluid working medium, i.e., LNG or liquid hydrogen to be vaporized flows through the first heat exchange channel 11. The third heat exchange channel 31 in the third heat exchange plate 3 serves as a flow channel for the hot fluid working medium, i.e., hot water working medium at a preset temperature flows through the third heat exchange channel 31. The second heat exchange plate 2 and the fourth heat exchange plate 4... The components are combined to form an intermediate heat exchange plate. The second heat exchange channel in the second heat exchange plate 2 and the fourth heat exchange channel in the fourth heat exchange plate 4 are connected end to end to form a circulating flow channel, which serves as an intermediate heat exchange layer. By encapsulating the circulating heat exchange medium in the circulating flow channel, the circulating heat exchange medium generates a three-dimensional natural circulation flow under the action of the temperature difference between hot and cold fluids, thereby achieving heat exchange with cold and hot fluids. The diameter of the third heat exchange channel 31 is larger than the channel diameter of the first heat exchange channel 11 to avoid the hot fluid from blocking the third heat exchange channel 31.

[0045] It should be noted that since the freezing point of water is generally 0°C, when it directly exchanges heat with LNG or liquid hydrogen, the local temperature on the water side is easily lower than 0°C, which can easily cause the channel to freeze and become blocked. In this embodiment 1, an intermediate heat exchange layer is set up, and a phase-changeable heat exchange medium is filled into the intermediate heat exchange layer as a circulating heat exchange medium. The design operating temperature of the circulating heat exchange medium is the phase change temperature, and the operating pressure is calculated based on the saturation pressure of the operating temperature. Preferably, the design operating temperature of the circulating heat exchange medium is higher than 0°C and is between the average temperature of the hot fluid and the cold fluid. During manufacturing, a preset mass of working medium is filled into the circulating channel of the intermediate heat exchange plate, and then the filling port is sealed. When the equipment is running, the water side of the circulating heat exchange medium vaporizes after exchanging heat with the hot fluid. The vaporized working medium flows to the cold medium side for heat exchange through circulation, and condenses into a liquid working medium after cooling, thus forming a cycle.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] As attached Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment 2 provides a heat exchange core with separate cold and hot sides, including a cold-side unit 100, a hot-side unit 200, a first insulating tube section 300, and a fourth insulating tube section 400. The cold-side unit 100 and the hot-side unit 200 have basically the same structure as the cold-side unit and the hot-side unit in embodiment 1 above, and will not be described again here.

[0048] One end of the first insulated pipe section 300 is connected to the beginning of the second heat exchange channel in the cold-side unit 100, and the other end of the first insulated pipe section 300 is connected to the end of the fourth heat exchange channel in the hot-side unit 200; one end of the second insulated pipe section 400 is connected to the end of the second heat exchange channel in the cold-side unit 100, and the other end of the second insulated pipe section 400 is connected to the beginning of the fourth heat exchange channel in the hot-side unit 200.

[0049] In this embodiment 2, by setting a first insulating pipe section 300 and a fourth insulating pipe section 400 between the cold side unit 100 and the hot side unit 200, a greater distance is created between the cold side unit 100 and the hot side unit 200 by adding the first insulating pipe section 300 and the fourth insulating pipe section 400, so as to meet the explosion-proof requirements of the cold and hot sides and facilitate equipment layout.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] The heat exchange core with separate hot and cold sides provided in this embodiment 3 is basically the same as the heat exchange core with separate hot and cold sides described in embodiment 1 above, except that:

[0052] A capillary wick structure is provided within the fourth heat exchange channel; wherein, the capillary wick structure is an integrated capillary wick with grooves etched on the inner wall of the fourth heat exchange channel or a pre-set capillary wick structure is provided on the inner wall of the fourth heat exchange channel; wherein, the pre-set capillary wick structure is, for example, a woven wire mesh; preferably, the capillary wick structure is provided on the side closer to the third heat exchange channel; by providing a capillary wick structure within the fourth heat exchange channel, the heat exchange of the circulating heat exchange medium in the liquid phase is enhanced, thereby enhancing the vaporization of the circulating heat exchange medium; based on this, the circulating heat exchange medium circulates within the circulation channel under the combined action of capillary force and gravity.

[0053] In this embodiment 3, a unidirectional flow structure is provided at a preset position of the circulating flow channel; wherein, the unidirectional flow structure is a structure with different forward or reverse flow resistance, so as to guide the circulating heat exchange medium to generate circulating flow in a preset direction; preferably, the unidirectional flow structure is located in the end-to-end connection area between the second heat exchange channel and the fourth heat exchange channel.

[0054] Example 4

[0055] This embodiment 4 provides a heat exchanger, including the heat exchange core described in embodiments 1-3 above; for a detailed description of the heat exchange core, please refer to the description in embodiments 1-3 above. The other structural components of the heat exchanger are similar to the corresponding structures of existing heat exchangers, and will not be described again here.

[0056] The heat exchange core with separate hot and cold sides described in this invention separates the hot and cold sides, with the cold side unit and hot side unit respectively responsible for the flow of cold and hot fluids. A circulating flow channel is formed between the second and fourth heat exchange channels, encapsulating the circulating heat exchange medium. This allows the hot fluid on the hot side to indirectly heat the cold side through the circulating heat exchange medium, avoiding direct contact between the hot fluid and the cold side, thus solving the problems of frost and freezing blockage within the heat exchanger channels. Furthermore, by setting an insulating pipe section between the second and fourth heat exchange plates to connect the two heat exchange channels end-to-end, the length of the insulating pipe section can be adjusted for specific application scenarios, enabling heat exchange over longer distances, which is safer and more efficient. Finally, the modular design of the heat exchange core with separate hot and cold sides allows for relatively easy disassembly and assembly of each heat exchange plate, facilitating maintenance and cleaning, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0057] This invention utilizes chemical etching and diffusion welding processes for forming, eliminating the need for additional processes. It is economical and efficient, resulting in equipment with high strength and excellent low-temperature resistance. This invention effectively prevents frost and ice formation, improves heat transfer efficiency, and reduces energy consumption. In applications such as LNG vaporizers and liquid hydrogen vaporizers, it enables more stable and reliable operation, reducing downtime and maintenance costs caused by equipment blockage and failure.

The scope of protection claimed by this utility model is not limited to this embodiment, but also includes any variations, substitutions and other implementation methods that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model.
