Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchanger technology, specifically a heat exchanger for a nitrogen distillation column. Background Technology
[0002] The working principle of a nitrogen distillation column is mainly based on air separation and distillation technology, utilizing the difference in boiling points between nitrogen and oxygen to achieve separation. One of the core components of the precooling system in a nitrogen distillation column is the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger lowers the temperature of the air entering the system by exchanging heat with a cold source (usually cold water or cold air). The design and materials of the heat exchanger directly affect the precooling effect; a high-efficiency heat exchanger can significantly improve the precooling effect of the air, ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent separation processes.
[0003] However, most of the heat exchangers in existing nitrogen distillation columns are single units, which makes it inconvenient to clean the inside of the heat exchanger. If not cleaned for a long time, the heat exchange efficiency will decrease and the use will be inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a heat exchanger for a nitrogen distillation column, comprising a housing and heat exchange tubes fixedly connected to the housing. A top cover is provided on the top of the housing, and an mounting plate is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the top of the housing. First permanent magnets are fixedly connected to the four corners of the mounting plate, and second permanent magnets, corresponding one-to-one with the first permanent magnets, are fixedly connected to the four corners of the top cover. The first and second permanent magnets are mutually attractive magnets. A sealing plate matching the housing is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top cover, and a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the sealing plate. When the sealing plate is fully inserted into the housing, the first and second permanent magnets are in contact.
