Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of heat exchange equipment, specifically a heat exchanger water tank based on stress simulation design applied in heat exchangers containing pressure-resistant water tanks. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of heat exchanger equipment manufacturing, the use of pressure-resistant water tanks is very common. Existing heat exchanger water tank designs usually increase the thickness of the cover plate, tank body, and tube sheet to ensure strength and meet high pressure resistance requirements. This often requires more steel, increasing costs. Moreover, as the thickness increases, the weight also increases significantly, making it inconvenient to transport during the production process and causing great inconvenience in production and use. Therefore, designing a reasonable structure for heat exchanger water tanks based on stress simulation is quite important in the production of heat exchanger equipment. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the problems of heat exchanger tanks not only requiring a large amount of material, increasing costs, but also increasing in weight with thickness, making them inconvenient to move and causing significant inconvenience during production and use, this utility model provides a heat exchanger tank based on stress simulation design.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to achieve the above objectives is as follows: it includes a heat exchanger tube sheet, a water tank body, a water tank cover, a water tank flange, and a reinforcing mechanism. The heat exchanger tube sheet is connected to the water tank body, and the water tank body is connected to the water tank cover via the water tank flange. An O-ring for sealing is provided between the water tank cover and the water tank flange, and they are connected by fastener A. The reinforcing mechanism includes a cover plate reinforcing rib, a tank body and flange reinforcing rib, a reinforcing flange, and a connecting partition. The cover plate reinforcing rib is located on the water tank cover and is arranged longitudinally in multiple rows. The tank body and flange reinforcing rib is located on the water tank body and is connected to the water tank flange, and is arranged horizontally in multiple rows. The reinforcing flange and the connecting partition are connected between the heat exchanger tube sheet and the water tank cover. The water tank cover and the reinforcing flange are connected by fastener B.
[0005] The water tank body is welded to the heat exchanger tube sheet and the water tank flange, respectively, and the connecting partition is welded to the reinforcing flange and the heat exchanger tube sheet, respectively.
[0006] The reinforcing ribs of the cover plate are welded to the water tank cover plate, and the reinforcing flange is welded to the water tank flange.
[0007] The connecting partition has openings for fluid flow, and the reinforcing flange has threaded holes.
[0008] The water tank may be circular, rectangular, or irregular in shape.
[0009] This utility model is equipped with a reinforcing flange, a housing and flange reinforcing rib, a cover plate reinforcing rib, and a connecting partition. The housing and flange reinforcing rib strengthen the water tank housing and water tank flange. The reinforcing flange and connecting partition strengthen the cover plate and heat exchanger tube sheet. The water tank cover plate is further reinforced with cover plate reinforcing ribs, achieving high pressure resistance and low cost for the heat exchanger water tank, and solving the problem of large usage and high cost of steel plates for pressure-resistant water tanks.
