Specific Embodiment

[0023] The following further describes in detail the split partition structure of a heat exchanger according to the present utility model through specific embodiments.

[0024] Refer Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a split partition structure of a heat exchanger includes: a shell of the tube box 1 and a tube sheet 2. The split partition structure includes: a vertical partition 3 welded to the shell of the tube box 1, a horizontal partition 4 welded to the vertical partition 3 and the shell of the tube box 1, and a connecting plate 5 welded to the horizontal partition 4. The vertical partition 3 and the horizontal partition 4 are perpendicularly arranged, and the horizontal partition 4 and the connecting plate 5 are perpendicularly arranged. The distance between the connecting plate 5 and the tube sheet 2 is 95 - 105 mm. In this embodiment, the distance between the connecting plate 5 and the tube sheet 2 is 100 mm. The reason for designing this distance to be so small is to enable workers to see the welding condition of the heat exchange tubes (not shown) and the tube sheet 2 at the opening 56 when opening the cover plate 57 during maintenance, without the need to disassemble the entire split partition structure as in the prior art during maintenance.

[0025] The connecting plate 5 is frame-shaped and includes an upper frame strip 50, a lower frame strip 51, a left frame strip 52, a right frame strip 53, a middle vertical frame strip 54, and several middle horizontal frame strips 55, thereby forming several openings 56 on the connecting plate 5. In this embodiment, there is one middle vertical frame strip 54, four middle horizontal frame strips 55, and six openings 56 and cover plates 57, with the openings 56 arranged in pairs. The left frame strip 52 and the right frame strip 53 are welded to the pipe box body 1, and a cover plate 57 is provided at each opening 56. A gasket 58 is also provided between the cover plate 57 and the connecting plate 5. The gasket 58 has the same shape as the connecting plate 5, and the gasket 58 can increase its sealing performance. The cover plate 57 and the connecting plate 5 are connected by a number of fasteners 6. In this embodiment, the fasteners 6 are bolts. The upper frame strip 50, lower frame strip 51, left frame strip 52, right frame strip 53, middle vertical frame strip 54 and a number of middle horizontal frame strips 55 of the connecting plate 5 are provided with evenly arranged bolt mounting holes 7.

[0026] The cover plate 57 is provided with a handle 570 on its outer side, which facilitates worker operation. Several partition plates 8 are provided between the connecting plate 5 and the tube sheet 2. In this embodiment, there are three partition plates 8 arranged in parallel. One end of each partition plate 8 is welded to the connecting plate 5, and the other end is welded to the tube sheet 2. Both sides of each partition plate 8 are welded to the tube box body 1. Each partition plate 8 is provided with a drain hole 80 for draining the tube medium during shutdown.

[0027] In summary, the partition structure of this utility model, by setting a small gap between the connecting plate 5 and the tube sheet 2, allows workers to see the welding point between the heat exchange tube and the tube sheet 2 at the cover plate 57 by opening each cover plate. Compared with the fixed partition structure in the prior art, this utility model improves it into a frame-type connecting plate 5 and multiple cover plates 57 structure, which greatly facilitates subsequent maintenance work. Moreover, the number of partition plates 8 between the connecting plate 5 and the tube sheet 2 can be determined according to the specific needs of the tube pass setting, making it suitable for multi-pass operation.
