TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a technical field of microfluidic homogenizer, especially relates to a honeycomb tube type radiator. BACKGROUND
[0002] Heat exchanger is the equipment that passes on the part of heat of hot fluid to cold fluid, also called heat exchanger. Microfluid is under the action of super high pressure (310MPa), through the valve core with very small aperture, produces several times sound speed fluid, thereby reaches dispersing, homogenizing, emulsifying, nanometer particle etc. Homogenizer is a kind of equipment widely used in multiple industries, mainly used for homogenizing, emulsifying, dispersing etc. to material.
[0003] The heat exchanger of prior art mainly includes the following types:
[0004] 1. Rotary heat exchanger: Rotary heat exchanger is a kind of regenerative heat exchanger, and heat is transferred from high-temperature fluid to low-temperature fluid through regenerator formed by solid substance. After hot medium passes through heating solid substance to reach a certain temperature, cold medium passes through solid substance to be heated, so that the purpose of heat transfer is achieved.
[0005] 2. Helical baffle plate tube-shell heat exchanger: this design uses helical baffle plate to improve fluid dynamics performance and heat transfer efficiency. The design principle of helical baffle plate is to install special plate with circular cross section in "pseudo-helical baffle system", and each baffle plate occupies one fourth of the cross section in shell side of heat exchanger, and the inclination angle is towards the axis of heat exchanger.
[0006] 3. Spiral pipe heat exchanger: spiral pipe heat exchanger is a kind of flat tube heat exchanger, and its manufacturing process includes two processes of "flattening" and "hot twisting". The tube side and shell side of this heat exchanger are in spiral motion at the same time, which promotes the degree of turbulence, improves the overall heat transfer coefficient, and reduces fouling and vibration.
[0007] 4. Spiral tube heat exchanger: spiral tube heat exchanger winds metal wire as rib on the pipe, and usually adopts welding method to fix the metal wire on the pipe. This design improves the heat transfer efficiency, but there may be problems of solder aging and breaking.
[0008] 5. Heat pipe heat exchanger: heat pipe heat exchanger uses the superconductivity and isothermality of heat pipe for heat transfer. Heat pipe transfers heat through evaporation and condensation of working medium in fully closed vacuum pipe.
[0009] 6. Internal circulation type liquid heat exchanger: this heat exchanger combines the middle channel and baffle plate in rectangular box to form a fluid circulation channel connected in head and tail, and under the drive of propeller, liquid passes through heat transfer pipe for heat exchange at required flow rate.
[0010] However, the existing heat exchangers have the following disadvantages:
[0011] 1. Fouling and corrosion problems: Many heat exchangers are prone to form scale and corrosion on the surface during use, which can reduce the heat transfer efficiency and shorten the service life of the equipment. For example, both the warm air heat exchanger and the tube heat exchanger have fouling problems and need to be cleaned regularly.
[0012] 2. High installation and maintenance costs: Some heat exchangers, such as floating head heat exchangers and waste heat boiler heat exchangers, have high installation and maintenance costs due to their complex structure. In addition, the cost of replacing the rubber strip of some types of heat exchangers, such as plate heat exchangers, is also quite expensive.
[0013] 3. Large space occupation: Some types of heat exchangers, such as tube heat exchangers and large warm air heat exchangers, will occupy a large space due to their design structure and functional requirements, which may bring difficulties in installation and use in environments with limited space.
