[0031] The technical scheme of the utility model will be further described below in combination with the drawings and examples, but should not be limited to the protection scope of the utility model by this.
[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1The utility model discloses a structure diagram of shell side baffle of shell and tube heat exchanger, as shown in drawing, a shell and tube heat exchanger shell side baffle, the baffle is arc steel sheet 1, the arc steel sheet with the shell of shell and tube heat exchanger is concentric circle setting, and through the pull bar plate welding fixed in the inner wall of the shell, the arc steel sheet evenly has long circle type opening 2.
[0033] The size and distribution of the long circle type opening are designed to make the cross-section highest flow velocity change little with the increase of the opening size, but the uniformity of the flow field distribution behind the baffle is improved, and the area of the flow dead zone is reduced. The arc structure has a flow guiding effect, so that the falling points of the high flow velocity area at the edges of the baffle are offset to the center of the cylinder, the fluid flow velocity at the edges of the cylinder wall is reduced, and the short circuit phenomenon between the left tube plate and the first baffle is effectively alleviated.
[0034] The utility model discloses a structure diagram of shell side baffle of shell and tube heat exchanger, as shown in drawing, a shell and tube heat exchanger shell side baffle, the baffle is arc steel sheet 1, the arc steel sheet with the shell of shell and tube heat exchanger is concentric circle setting, and through the pull bar plate welding fixed in the inner wall of the shell, the arc steel sheet evenly has long circle type opening 2. Figure 3 The utility model discloses a structure diagram of shell side baffle of shell and tube heat exchanger, as shown in drawing, a shell and tube heat exchanger shell side baffle, the baffle is arc steel sheet 1, the arc steel sheet with the shell of shell and tube heat exchanger is concentric circle setting, and through the pull bar plate welding fixed in the inner wall of the shell, the arc steel sheet evenly has long circle type opening 2.
[0035] Heat exchanger flow field analysis under different baffle structures:
[0036] As shown in Figure 4 The velocity nephogram of the cross-section at the shell inlet under different opening sizes can be seen, with the increase of the opening size, the cross-section highest flow velocity changes little, and is about 38m / s, but the uniformity of the flow field distribution behind the baffle is improved, and the area of the flow dead zone is reduced. In addition, due to the flow guiding effect of the arc structure of the baffle, the falling points of the high flow velocity area at the edges of the baffle are offset to the center of the cylinder, so that the fluid flow velocity at the edges of the cylinder wall is reduced, and the short circuit phenomenon between the left tube plate and the first baffle is effectively alleviated.
[0037] AsFigure 5 The velocity cloud of the cross section at the inlet of the shell side under different opening sizes is shown. It can be seen that, compared with the original structure, the flow field distribution of the shell side tends to be uniform, and the short circuit phenomenon is obviously improved. After the structure of the baffle is changed, the number of backflow eddies of the fluid behind the baffle colliding with the heat exchange tube is reduced. Moreover, due to the improvement of the uniformity of the overall fluid distribution in the shell side, the size of the eddy at the fluid convergence position at the bottom of the cylinder is also reduced.
[0038] As shown in Figure 6 The turbulent kinetic energy distribution cloud of the cross section at the inlet of the shell side under different opening sizes is shown. It can be seen that, after the structure of the baffle is changed, the turbulent kinetic energy distribution of the fluid in the shell side tends to be uniform, and the turbulent kinetic energy behind the baffle and at the fluid convergence position at the bottom of the cylinder is obviously reduced.
[0039] Analysis of the temperature field of the heat exchanger under different baffle structures:
[0040] Under the premise of ensuring that the inlet and outlet temperatures of the tube side of the heat exchanger are basically the same, the required inlet temperature of the shell side under different opening sizes is calculated using the CFD simulation software, and the results are shown in Table 1. It can be seen that, after the structure of the baffle is changed, the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger is also improved. When the opening is 30 mm, the inlet temperature of the shell side is 227℃, which can achieve the heating effect of the tube side raw gas when the inlet temperature of the shell side without opening is 231.2℃. As shown in Figure 6 and 7 The tube side temperature cloud and the shell side wall temperature distribution cloud when the opening is 30 mm are shown.
[0041] Table 1 CFD simulation results under different opening sizes
[0042]
[0043] In summary, by changing the type of the baffle to an arc shape and opening holes on the surface of the baffle, firstly, the fluid distribution behind the baffle can be changed, and the contact between the heat exchange tube and the medium is strengthened, so that the heat exchange effect is more sufficient. Secondly, the flow area can be increased. The long circular holes opened on the baffle can increase the flow area of a part of the inlet area, while avoiding the formation of dead zones in the rear part of the baffle, causing local overheating of the heat exchange tube bundle. The fluid entering the shell passes through the throttling effect of the opening of the baffle, reducing the energy loss of a part of the fluid. Thirdly, the vibration problem related to the baffle can be alleviated. According to the maintenance records of the device, the baffle of the heat exchanger has been detached several times. Through the improvement of the structure of the baffle as described above, such problems can be effectively reduced or avoided from occurring again.
