TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the heat exchange field, concretely relates to a heat cycle reinforced plate heat exchanger. BACKGROUND
[0002] Plate heat exchanger is the type frequently used in heat exchanger, because its excellent heat transfer performance is frequently applied in each field, the traditional plate heat exchanger is installed on the mounting frame by multiple heat exchange plates mutually adhering, the edge between two adjacent heat exchange sheets is provided with sealing strip to form fluid passage between two heat exchange sheets, the heat exchange sheet has liquid inlet, and the sealing strip is provided with blocking at the liquid inlet according to requirement, after the refrigerant fluid and heat medium fluid are passed in, the sealing strip is used to guide flow of two, and the refrigerant is separated and arranged on both sides of heat exchange plate to exchange heat;The surface of heat exchange sheet is provided with special-shaped flow channel to guide flow of refrigerant and heat medium;
[0003] The heat medium used in heat exchange is often waste water or waste gas after production, and the residual heat of the heat medium is utilized by passing into the heat exchanger, but the impurities in the heat medium can form a certain friction resistance with the flow channel, which can reduce the pressure of the fluid passing in, this phenomenon is called pressure drop, the traditional plate heat exchanger is limited by the structure of heat exchange sheet, when the heat medium is high-viscosity flue gas, the pressure drop is particularly obvious due to the high adsorption of the heat medium, the pressure drop can affect the flow rate and heat transfer efficiency, and the low flow rate can cause impurities to accumulate and easily cause heat exchange sheet to scale, therefore, a heat exchanger with small pressure drop and high heat exchange efficiency needs to be proposed. CONTENT OF UTILITY MODEL
[0004] To solve the above problems, the application provides a heat cycle reinforced plate heat exchanger, which comprises a transport pipe group and a heat exchange mechanism.
[0005] The heat exchange mechanism comprises a plurality of heat exchange sheets, the heat exchange sheets are connected to each other to form a plurality of heat medium gaps and refrigerant gaps, the refrigerant gaps and the heat medium gaps are staggered to be used for heat exchange, the surface of the heat exchange sheet is provided with a flow channel, and the flow channel is arranged in the shape of vein distribution or lung air duct distribution.
[0006] The transport pipe group comprises a refrigerant pipeline and a heat medium pipeline, the refrigerant pipeline is communicated with the refrigerant gap, the heat medium pipeline is communicated with the heat medium gap, and the transport pipe group transports refrigerant and heat medium to the refrigerant gap and the heat medium gap respectively.
[0007] The structure of the flow channel is more consistent with the structure of fluid flow by using bionics design, the flow channel of the heat exchange sheet is more consistent with the natural flow of fluid, so as to reduce the resistance between the fluid and the flow channel, and compared with the traditional flow channel structure, the pressure drop can be greatly reduced.
[0008] Further, the plurality of heat exchange sheet arrays are distributed, the heat exchange sheet is rectangular, the long side of the middle heat exchange sheet of each adjacent three heat exchange sheets is connected with the long side of one of the heat exchange sheets, and the short side of the middle heat exchange sheet is connected with the short side of the other heat exchange sheet to form staggered heat medium gaps and refrigerant gaps.
[0009] That is, a cuboid type heat exchanger is formed, one of which is a heat medium gap and the other of which is a refrigerant gap, and the two are perpendicular to each other.
[0010] Further, the heat exchange mechanism further comprises a shell connected to the four corners of the heat exchange sheet, and the connection between the shell and the heat exchange sheet is provided with a partition plate to block the heat medium gap and the refrigerant gap.
[0011] Further, the flow channel comprises a main flow channel and a branch flow channel, the branch flow channel and the main flow channel are connected to each other, and the branch flow channel and / or the main flow channel are provided with an array of recesses; the area of the recess can be set to microns; when the fluid flows at high speed through the recess, the structure of the recess will make the fluid flow into the recess under the action of pressure, at this time the flow directions of the fluid above the recess and the fluid in the recess are inconsistent, thus generating local vortex flow, thereby increasing the heat transfer efficiency.
[0012] Alternatively, a plurality of vortex members are arranged in the flow channel, the vortex member is in the shape of an arc-shaped sheet, the vortex member is arranged in accordance with the flow direction of the fluid, the vortex member is bent in the direction perpendicular to the heat exchange sheet, that is, taking the connection point of the vortex member and the flow channel as the origin, the extension direction of the vortex member is the X direction, the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the flow channel is the Z direction, and the thickness direction of the vortex member is the Y direction, the vortex member is bent in the Y direction in the plane of the Z direction, the fluid can generate vortex flow in the radial direction of the flow channel when flowing, thereby increasing the heat transfer efficiency, and at the same time, since the fluid flow direction is not hindered, the pressure drop is not increased too much.
[0013] The vortex member can also be slightly bent in the Y direction in the X direction, but since the bending will hinder the flow of the fluid, although the heat transfer efficiency is increased, the pressure drop is also increased.
[0014] Further, the vortex member is provided with a plurality of through holes, and the porosity of the vortex member in the flow direction of the fluid increases in sequence. Increasing the through holes on the vortex member further reduces the obstruction of the vortex member to the medium. Since the water pressure is lower when the medium flows further downstream after entering the flow channel, the porosity of the vortex member upstream of the flow channel is low, and the porosity of the vortex member downstream of the flow channel is high.
[0015] Further, the surface of the heat exchange sheet is provided with an anti-corrosion film layer; preferably a microbial film, which resists corrosion of the heat exchange sheet by the medium through biological activity, so that the microorganisms absorb and decompose impurities attached to the surface of the heat exchange sheet, or absorb oxygen on the surface of the heat exchange sheet to make the surface of the heat exchange sheet lack the main condition for rusting, thereby preventing rusting.
[0016] Further, the heat medium pipeline comprises a conveying pipe and an output pipe, a circulating pipe is arranged between the conveying pipe and the output pipe, the circulating pipe is provided with a circulating pump, and the circulating pipe is provided with a valve; the circulating pump is arranged, so that the heat medium circulates in the heat exchange mechanism for multiple times, the heat of the heat medium is fully utilized, the heat exchange is not insufficient due to too high flow speed, heat waste is avoided, and accumulation of impurities is also avoided.
[0017] Further, the circulating pump and the valve are both connected with a control element; when the heat medium circulates for a certain number of times, the control element controls the circulating pump and the valve to discharge the heat medium and replace new heat medium; the control element can be realized by using the prior art, and thus will not be described here.
[0018] Further, the shell is provided with a heat medium inlet, and the heat medium inlet is provided with a booster pump; the booster pump is used to increase the pressure of the medium entering the flow channel, so that the flow speed is increased, the impurities are prevented from accumulating in the flow channel, and the fouling is slowed down, and the heat transfer efficiency is also increased.
[0019] Further, the heat exchange sheet is provided with an ultrasonic element; the ultrasonic element emits ultrasonic waves to the heat medium gap, the medium is vibrated by the ultrasonic waves, the mutual movement between the flue gas and the waste water is intensified, the medium moves in a micro level, the heat is more easily dissipated, and the heat transfer efficiency is increased.
