[0023] Each of the infusion mechanisms includes a diversion chamber 19, multiple tube bundles 6, multiple baffles 7, multiple threaded sleeves 8, and multiple sealing rings 9;
[0024] The plurality of tube bundles 6 are arranged in an array, with one end of each tube bundle 6 connected and fixed to a diversion chamber 19. The diversion chamber 19 is connected to a corresponding cold fluid inlet 17 or cold fluid outlet 18. The liquid storage chamber 10 has sealing holes corresponding to the plurality of tube bundles 6.

[0025] The working principle of a shell-and-tube thermal accumulator used in chemical production is as follows:
[0026] 1. Flow and heat exchange of hot fluid: The chemical hot fluid enters the liquid inlet chamber above the partition 4 through the hot fluid inlet 13, and then flows into the inner shell 2 through the inner shell inlet 14. In the inner shell 2, the hot fluid passes through the baffles 7 above the partitions 5 and flows between the baffles 7 below the partitions 5. During this process, the hot fluid exchanges heat with the multiple tube bundles 6, heating the tube bundles 6. Finally, the hot fluid flows into the liquid outlet chamber below the partition 4 through the inner shell outlet 15, and flows out of the heat storage tank through the hot fluid outlet 16.
[0027] 2. Flow and heating of cold fluid: The chemical cold fluid that needs to be heated enters the corresponding distribution chamber 19 through the cold fluid inlet 17, and then enters the multiple tube bundles 6 above. During the flow in the tube bundles 6, the cold fluid exchanges heat with the chemical hot fluid through the tube bundle 6 wall, thereby being heated. The heated cold fluid continues to pass through the multiple tube bundles 6 below connected in the liquid storage chamber 10, and is finally discharged through the cold fluid outlet 18.
[0028] Maintenance and cleaning of heat storage tanks:
[0029] When it is necessary to clean or replace the components inside the thermal storage tank, simply remove the mounting cover 12, then open the sealing door 11, and then unscrew the threaded sleeve 8 on each tube bundle 6 to remove the liquid storage tank 10. At this point, the inner shell 2 can be pulled out for replacement and cleaning. This design makes the maintenance and cleaning of the thermal storage tank very convenient and quick.
