[0002] Hydrochloric acid is an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride, which is highly corrosive and irritating. In its production process, graphite heat exchangers are required. Graphite heat exchangers are efficient and corrosion-resistant heat exchange equipment, and are particularly suitable for heat exchange of corrosive media such as hydrochloric acid.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN216049341U discloses a novel block-hole graphite heat exchanger, which includes a cylinder, an upper head, a lower head, and a graphite heat exchange block. The graphite heat exchange block has an annular cross-section and several process medium flow holes are provided in its height direction. These process medium flow holes are arranged in a ring array within the radial annular region of the graphite heat exchange block. The sidewall of the graphite heat exchange block has several heat exchange medium flow holes facing the center of the graphite heat exchange block, and each heat exchange medium flow hole is not connected to the process medium flow hole. An arc-shaped baffle is provided between two adjacent graphite heat exchange blocks for the reversal of the heat exchange medium in the shell side.

The housing 1 is fixedly connected with staggered partitions 2, and graphite heat exchange tubes 3 are nested at equal intervals within the partitions 2. A temperature sensor 22 and a controller 23 are embedded in the inner side of the right rear end of the housing 1.

[0031] To address the problems in existing technologies where it is difficult to increase the contact area between the graphite heat exchange tube 3 and the cooling water, and difficult to increase the heat exchange area of ​​hydrochloric acid, this embodiment employs the following technical solution: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5During the use of this graphite heat exchanger, hydrochloric acid drain pipes can be connected to the upper sleeve plate 6 and the lower sleeve plate 7 respectively. Partition plates 2 with through holes 5 are staggered and fixed inside the housing 1. Graphite heat exchange tubes 3 are nested at equal intervals inside the housing 1 and partition plates 2. First sealing rings 4, which are tightly fitted to the graphite heat exchange tubes 3, are glued and fixed inside both the housing 1 and partition plates 2. The upper outer side of the graphite heat exchange tubes 3 is connected to the upper sleeve plate 6, which is fitted to the housing 1 and sealed by a second sealing ring 10. The lower outer side of the graphite heat exchange tube 3 is connected to the lower sleeve plate 7 which is fixedly connected to the housing 1. The upper and lower sides of the graphite heat exchange tube 3 are fitted with limiting rods 8 which are fixed to the upper sleeve plate 6 and the lower sleeve plate 7. Therefore, the arrangement of the housing 1, the first sealing ring 4, the upper sleeve plate 6 and the lower sleeve plate 7 makes the hydrochloric acid flow in a curved shape in the graphite heat exchange tube 3. Furthermore, the partition plate 2 with the internal through hole 5 facilitates the blocking of the flow of cooling water, thereby improving the contact between the graphite heat exchange tube 3 and the cooling water and increasing the heat exchange area of ​​the hydrochloric acid. Specific Implementation Example 2

[0033] To address the problem in existing technologies where it is inconvenient to remove the graphite heat exchange tube 3 for cleaning and replacement, this embodiment employs the following technical solution: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 After long-term use of the graphite heat exchanger, the movable rods 11, which are engaged with the inner sides of the left and right ends of the connecting frame 9, can be pulled outwards. This causes the movable rods 11 to move outwards under the pressure of the springs 12 nested around them. This causes the movable rods 11 to move outwards along with the limiting block 13 fixed at its inner end, thus breaking the snap-fit ​​between the limiting block 13 and the housing 1. This continues until the limiting block 13 is retracted into the connecting frame 9. Then, based on pulling the movable rods 11 outwards, the connecting frame 9 can be moved upwards, causing the upper sleeve plate 6 fixedly connected inside the connecting frame 9 to move upwards until the nested connection between the connecting frame 9 and the housing 1 is broken. This allows the upper sleeve plate 6 to stop obstructing the upper surface of the housing 1, making it easier to remove the graphite heat exchange tubes 3 nested at equal intervals inside the housing 1 for cleaning and replacement. Specific Implementation Example 3

[0035] To address the problems in existing technologies, such as the inconvenience of circulating cooling water, filtering, purifying, and replacing the cooling water, and the limited heat exchange efficiency, this embodiment employs the following technical solution: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6During the hydrochloric acid introduction process, the controller 23 embedded in the inner side of the right rear end of the tank 1 can control the operation of the first solenoid valve 14 fixedly installed on the inner side of the lower right end of the tank 1, so that the lower end of the tank 1 is connected to the transfer chamber 15 set to the right of the first solenoid valve 14. Then, the controller 23 can control the pump 16 installed on the front side of the transfer chamber 15 to operate. Since the pump 16 is connected to the return pipe 17 by external thread, and the outer end of the return pipe 17 is threaded to the inner side of the upper right end of the tank 1 and the inner side of the lower right end of the transfer chamber 15 respectively, the operation of the pump 16 facilitates the suction and return of cooling water, so that it circulates in the tank 1 and exchanges heat with the graphite heat exchange tube 3.

[0036] Furthermore, a filter screen 18 and a purification plate 19 are nested and connected within the transfer chamber 15. A counterweight plate 20 is attached to the filter screen 18 and the purification plate 19, and a third sealing ring 21 is attached to the outside of the counterweight plate 20, which is tightly fitted to the housing 1 and the transfer chamber 15. Therefore, under the cover of the counterweight plate 20 and the third sealing ring 21, the cooling water can be filtered and purified by the filter screen 18 and the purification plate 19. The controller 23 can control the operation of the temperature sensor 22 embedded in the front of the housing 1 to sense the temperature of the cooling water in the housing 1. When the temperature reaches a high level, the controller 23 can control the first solenoid valve 14 to disconnect the flow between the housing 1 and the transfer chamber 15. Then, the controller can control the operation of the second solenoid valve 24 embedded in the inner rear of the housing 1 to discharge the high-temperature cooling water and introduce low-temperature cooling water. This facilitates the circulation of cooling water and the filtration, purification and replacement of the cooling water, resulting in high heat exchange efficiency. All the electrical components mentioned above are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0037] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art. All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art, and the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0038] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
