Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of heat exchanger technology, specifically relating to a volumetric wound tube heat exchanger. Background Technology

[0002] A heat exchanger, also known as a heat exchange device or heat exchange equipment, is a device used to transfer heat from a hot fluid to a cold fluid to meet specified process requirements. It is an industrial application of convective heat transfer and heat conduction. Heat exchangers can be classified in different ways. According to their operating process, they can be divided into indirect-flow type, mixing type, and regenerative type.

[0003] Chinese Patent (Application No.: CN201721882937.1) provides a volumetric spiral wound tube heat exchanger, including a tripod, a tank, a buffer mechanism, a drive mechanism, and a piping mechanism. The tank is provided with a sealing assembly, which includes a tank door, a seal, and several screws. The buffer mechanism includes a first buffer box and a second buffer box. The drive mechanism includes a motor and a central shaft. The piping mechanism includes a fifth connecting pipe, a sixth connecting pipe, a seventh connecting pipe, a spiral tube, and a spiral sealing pipe. More spiral tubes are arranged inside the tank for heat exchange, improving space utilization efficiency. The rotation of the spiral tubes during heat exchange also enhances heat exchange efficiency. A sealable tank door facilitates maintenance of the internal components and ensures no leakage of the heated fluid. It also avoids mixing between the heat exchange medium and the heated fluid that may occur due to rotation. A drive mechanism increases the turbulence of the heated fluid to improve heat exchange efficiency. However, during operation, the spiral tubes are driven by a central shaft, and the threaded connection between the central shaft and the spiral tubes makes them prone to loosening and falling off during rotation. Additionally, scale buildup on the spiral tube surface requires subsequent cleaning by opening the tank door, which is inconvenient. Utility Model Content

By using the mounting rings 18 in conjunction with the mounting bolts 19, the two mounting rings 18 can be assembled and fixed, thereby realizing the assembly and fixing operation of the heat exchange shell 2 and the heat exchange shell cover 3. The operation is convenient.

[0030] A sealing element 20 is provided between the upper surface of the heat exchange shell 2 and the lower surface of the heat exchange shell cover 3. The sealing element 20 includes an integrally formed horizontal sealing ring 23 and a raised sealing ring 24. The integrally formed horizontal sealing ring 23 and the raised sealing ring 24 work together to ensure good sealing characteristics between the heat exchange shell 2 and the heat exchange shell cover 3 and prevent leakage.

[0031] A heat exchanger shell cover 3 has an inlet pipe 4 for the fluid to be exchanged installed through it, and a heat exchanger shell 2 has an outlet pipe 5 for the fluid to be exchanged installed through it on its lower surface. Several heat exchanger medium conveying pipes 6 are installed inside the heat exchanger shell 2. The heat exchanger medium conveying pipes 6 are specifically spiral in shape, and several spiral heat exchanger medium conveying pipes 6 are nested together. By setting the spiral heat exchanger medium conveying pipes 6, the flow residence time of the heat exchanger medium is effectively extended within the limited internal space of the heat exchanger shell 2, thereby greatly improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0032] A partition 7 is fixed to the inner wall of the heat exchange medium conveying pipe 6. The partition 7 divides the internal space of the heat exchange medium conveying pipe 6 into a lower heat exchange medium inlet channel 8 and an upper heat exchange medium outlet channel 9. A connecting port for connecting the heat exchange medium inlet channel 8 and the heat exchange medium outlet channel 9 is provided on the partition 7. An input connecting pipe 10 connected to the heat exchange medium inlet channel 8 is provided on the outer surface of the heat exchange medium conveying pipe 6. An output connecting pipe 12 connected to the heat exchange medium outlet channel 9 is provided at the end of the heat exchange medium conveying pipe 6. A motor 14 is fixed on the upper surface of the heat exchange shell cover 3. The output shaft of the motor 14 extends into the heat exchange shell 2 and is fixed with a rotating plate 15. Several mounting plates 16 are fixed on the lower surface of the rotating plate 15. A cleaning brush 17 is detachably installed on the side of the mounting plate 16. The bristles of the cleaning brush 17 are used in conjunction with the surface of the heat exchange medium conveying pipe 6.

[0033] The mounting plate 16 has a trapezoidal slot on its side, and the cleaning brush 17 has a trapezoidal insert plate 22 fixed on its side.

At the same time, during the heat exchange process, the motor 14 drives the rotating plate 15 to rotate. The rotating plate 15 drives the cleaning brush 17 to rotate through the mounting plate 16. The cleaning brush 17 cleans the surface of the heat exchange medium delivery pipe 6 to prevent scale and impurities from affecting the heat exchange efficiency. After the heat exchange is completed, the mounting bolt 19 can be unscrewed and the heat exchange shell cover 3 can be pulled upwards to remove the cleaning brush 17 from the heat exchange shell 2. The cleaning brush 17 can be slid off by unscrewing the positioning bolt 21 for replacement and maintenance.
