Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchangers, specifically a plate heat exchanger for flue gas waste heat recovery. Background Technology
[0002] A plate heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger consisting of a series of corrugated metal plates stacked together. Thin rectangular channels are formed between the plates, through which heat exchange occurs. The plate heat exchanger includes frame plates on both sides, heat exchanger plates between adjacent frame plates, tightening screws that penetrate the frame plates and are located on both sides of the heat exchanger plates, an upper guide rod that penetrates the frame plates and is located at the top of the heat exchanger plates, and a lower guide rod that penetrates the frame plates and is located at the bottom of the heat exchanger plates. The heat exchanger plates are fitted onto the upper and lower guide rods and slide along the length of the upper and lower guide rods.
[0003] Regarding the patent for plate heat exchangers, after searching, publication number CN117516247A discloses a support device for a plate heat exchanger and a plate heat exchanger. The document includes a base, on which a vertical plate, a crossbar, and a shock-absorbing component are provided; the bottom of the vertical plate is slidably connected to the base, the top of the vertical plate is fixedly connected to one end of the crossbar, and the end of the crossbar away from the vertical plate is cantilevered towards the center line of the base.
[0004] While the aforementioned device can resist the movement of the pusher plate by using air within the cavity, thus mitigating vibration in the plate heat exchanger, in actual use, the heat exchange fluid often contains impurities such as dust and sand. After long-term operation, these impurities may accumulate in narrow channels or corners inside the heat exchanger, reducing the cross-sectional area of the flow channel and increasing fluid resistance, leading to pressure buildup. Pressure buildup can cause the pressure on the plates to exceed the design value, resulting in plate deformation. Long-term or severe pressure buildup may cause the plates to crack, damaging the structural integrity of the plate heat exchanger, causing leakage between hot and cold fluids, affecting the heat exchange effect, and even causing the equipment to be scrapped, thus reducing the service life of the equipment. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flue gas waste heat recovery plate heat exchanger to solve the defects mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, a flue gas waste heat recovery plate heat exchanger is provided, comprising a plate heat exchanger body. An inlet pipe and a flue gas outlet pipe are respectively installed above the end plates of the plate heat exchanger body. A drain pipe and a flue gas inlet mechanism are respectively installed below the end plates of the plate heat exchanger body. A flue gas inlet pipe is provided on the flue gas inlet mechanism. A pressure relief pipe is fixedly installed on the outer circumference of the flue gas inlet pipe. A pressure boosting seat is provided on the inner circumference of the pressure relief pipe. An installation groove is opened at the top of the pressure relief pipe. A pressure relief plate is covered inside the installation groove. A pressure ring is covered on the surface of the pressure relief plate. A safety cover is covered on the top of the pressure ring. A positioning seat is fixedly installed at the end of the flue gas inlet pipe. A filter cartridge is installed inside the positioning seat.
[0007] Furthermore, the flue gas inlet mechanism includes a flue gas inlet pipe, a pressure relief pipe, a pressure boosting seat, a pressure boosting channel, a pressure relief plate, a pressure ring, a locking bolt, a support column, a safety cover, and a positioning seat. The pressure boosting seat inside the pressure relief pipe has an isosceles trapezoidal cross section, and a pressure boosting channel is provided inside the pressure boosting seat.
[0008] Furthermore, the pressure boosting channel is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, with the top of the pressure boosting channel positioned opposite the pressure relief plate. The pressure relief plate and the pressure ring are concentric circles, and the pressure ring covers the surface of the pressure relief plate and is fixed by multiple sets of locking bolts.
[0009] Furthermore, the pressure relief plate includes a mounting ring and an impact weak point, the impact weak point being arranged in a quincunx shape, and the depth of the impact weak point being equal to half the thickness of the pressure relief plate.
[0010] Furthermore, a baffle is fixedly installed at the bottom of the safety cover, a deceleration cover is installed at the bottom of the baffle, a cone-shaped tip is fixedly connected to the top of the baffle, and the bottom of the baffle extends into the interior of the deceleration cover.
[0011] Furthermore, the deceleration cover is fixedly installed on the upper circumferential outer wall surface of the pressure relief pipe; the end face of the deceleration cover is "L" shaped, and multiple sets of support columns are fixedly installed inside the safety cover, with the bottom of the support columns fixedly connected to the surface of the pressure ring.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. This utility model addresses the issue of pressure buildup caused by blockage inside the plate heat exchanger. When this blockage occurs, the flue gas entering the flue gas inlet pipe impacts the inside of the pressure relief pipe and, through the pressure booster seat, impacts the pressure relief plate. The pressure relief plate has a weak impact port at its bottom. Once this weak port is breached, pressure is released from the flue gas inlet pipe and the inside of the plate heat exchanger, preventing excessive pressure on the metal plates inside the plate heat exchanger and thus avoiding damage. This releases excess pressure, preventing deformation and cracking of the plates inside the plate heat exchanger, as well as damage to seals and loosening of connecting parts, thus extending the equipment's service life.
[0015] 2. In this utility model, the filter cartridge is screwed onto the positioning seat via the positioning groove and the top of the positioning block. Before the gas enters the interior of the plate heat exchanger body, it can undergo preliminary filtration through the filter cartridge. Flue gas often contains impurities such as dust and particles. The filter cartridge can intercept these impurities, preventing them from entering the heat exchanger with the flue gas, thus preventing impurities from causing wear on the plates, flow channels and other components of the plate heat exchanger, and further extending the service life of the equipment.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a plate heat exchanger for flue gas waste heat recovery, including a plate heat exchanger body 1. An inlet pipe 2 and a flue gas outlet pipe 4 are respectively installed on the upper end plate of the plate heat exchanger body 1. A drain pipe 3 and a flue gas inlet mechanism 5 are respectively installed on the lower end plate of the plate heat exchanger body 1. A flue gas inlet pipe 50 is provided on the flue gas inlet mechanism 5. A pressure relief pipe 51 is fixedly provided on the outer circumference of the flue gas inlet pipe 50. A pressure boosting seat 52 is provided on the inner circumference of the pressure relief pipe 51. An installation groove is opened at the top of the pressure relief pipe 51. A pressure relief plate 54 is covered inside the installation groove. A pressure ring 55 is covered on the surface of the pressure relief plate 54. A safety cover 58 is covered on the top of the pressure ring 55. A positioning seat 59 is fixedly provided at the end of the flue gas inlet pipe 50. A filter cylinder 591 is provided inside the positioning seat 59.
[0031] Working Principle: In actual use, the plate heat exchanger body 1 is assembled from many stamped metal plates, with corrugations or other special shapes on the plates. Narrow flow channels are formed between the plates, and the flow channels of adjacent plates are isolated from each other, respectively for the flow of high-temperature flue gas and low-temperature medium. The plates are usually made of materials with good thermal conductivity, such as stainless steel, to ensure efficient heat transfer. When high-temperature flue gas enters one side of the flow channel of the plate heat exchanger through the flue gas inlet mechanism 5, the heat in the flue gas is first transferred to the metal plates in contact with the flue gas through heat conduction. Due to the good thermal conductivity of metal, the heat will quickly diffuse within the plates. In the flow channel on the other side of the plates, the low-temperature medium, such as..., flows at a certain flow rate; through thermal convection... The heat on the plates is transferred to the low-temperature medium, raising its temperature; thus achieving the purpose of recovering waste heat from the flue gas. When the flue gas enters the plate heat exchanger body 1, if a blockage occurs inside the plate heat exchanger body 1, causing pressure buildup, the flue gas entering the flue gas inlet pipe 50 impacts the inside of the pressure relief pipe 51 and, through the pressure boosting seat 52, impacts the pressure relief plate 54. The bottom of the pressure relief plate 54 is provided with a weak impact port 542, which is arranged in a quincunx shape. After the weak impact port 542 is broken, pressure relief can be performed on the flue gas inlet pipe 50 and the inside of the plate heat exchanger body 1, preventing excessive pressure on the metal plates inside the plate heat exchanger body 1 and causing damage; releasing excess pressure. To prevent deformation and cracking of the internal plates of the plate heat exchanger body 1 due to pressure buildup, as well as damage to seals and loosening of connecting parts, thus extending the service life of the equipment; the high-temperature gas released through the pressure relief plate 54 impacts the safety cover 58 and enters the deceleration cover 583 for deceleration; this prevents the high-temperature gas from being directly sprayed into the surrounding environment, avoiding burns to nearby operators or maintenance personnel due to accidental contact with the high-temperature gas flow, ensuring personnel safety; the gas may have a large impact force during pressure relief, and if it rushes out directly, it may cause impact injury to surrounding personnel; the safety cover 58 and the deceleration cover 583 can change the gas flow direction, buffer the impact force of the gas, and reduce the possibility of such injury; in the flue gas inlet pipe A filter cartridge 591 is installed at the end of 50. The filter cartridge 591 is screwed onto the positioning seat 59 via the positioning groove 592 and the top of the positioning block 593. Before the gas enters the interior of the plate heat exchanger body 1, it can undergo preliminary filtration through the filter cartridge 591. Flue gas often contains impurities such as dust and particles. The filter cartridge 591 can intercept these impurities and prevent them from entering the interior of the heat exchanger with the flue gas. This prevents impurities from causing wear on the plates, flow channels, and other components of the plate heat exchanger and extends the service life of the equipment. After each use of the plate heat exchanger body 1, the filter cartridge 591 and the pressure relief plate 54 need to be disassembled. The filter cartridge 591 should be cleaned and the pressure relief plate 54 should be inspected for cracks to avoid affecting the next use.

The pressure ring 55 covers the surface of the pressure relief plate 54 and is fixed by multiple sets of locking bolts 56.
