Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas cooling technology, and in particular to a gas cooler. Background Technology
[0002] Gas cooling is a crucial aspect of industrial production and the operation of various mechanical equipment. Existing gas coolers primarily employ two methods: direct contact cooling and indirect contact cooling. Direct contact cooling achieves rapid temperature reduction by directly spraying a cooling medium (such as water) onto the gas to be cooled; however, this method often leads to mixing of the cooling medium and the cooled gas, making it unsuitable for applications where mixing is not permissible. Indirect contact cooling, on the other hand, transfers heat through heat exchangers, typically using metal tubes or plates as the heat transfer medium. While avoiding the mixing problem, traditional indirect contact cooling equipment suffers from design limitations, resulting in lower heat exchange efficiency between the gas and the cooling medium. Over time, scale and other impurities tend to accumulate in the water channels, and the interior is difficult to clean, further reducing the gas cooling efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a gas cooler that improves the heat exchange efficiency between cooling water and gas, facilitates regular cleaning of the surface of the airflow guide plate, and improves the overall efficiency of gas cooling.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model embodiment is implemented as follows:
[0005] A gas cooler includes a cooling box, airflow guide plates, and a first partition. The cooling box contains a plurality of vertical airflow guide plates, and the first partition is provided between the airflow guide plates. Each airflow guide plate has a cavity. The lower end of each airflow guide plate is connected to the upper end of another adjacent airflow guide plate. The plurality of airflow guide plates are connected in series to form an airflow channel. The first partition includes a first vertical plate and a second vertical plate, the upper ends of which intersect. The bottom of the first vertical plate has a first through hole, and the top of the second vertical plate has a second through hole. The cooling box has a water inlet pipe at the bottom of one side and a drain pipe at the top of the other side.
[0006] Furthermore, the airflow guide plate is provided with several horizontally arranged second partitions, which are staggered to form several S-shaped channels in series within the airflow guide plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the sides of the first and second vertical plates are provided with support bars, which are rotatably connected by a pivot.
[0008] Furthermore, the airflow guide plates are interconnected by a connecting pipe, which includes a first vertical section, a bent section, and a second vertical section. The first vertical section is connected to the inner cavity of the airflow guide plate, and the second vertical section is connected to the inner cavity of another adjacent airflow guide plate. The bent section is connected to the first vertical section and the second vertical section.
[0009] Furthermore, the top of the cooling box is provided with an opening, the outer periphery of the opening is provided with a first support ring, the top of the opening is provided with a cover, and the outer periphery of the cover is provided with a second support ring.
[0010] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided at the top of the first support ring and / or at the bottom of the second support ring.
[0011] Furthermore, the second support ring is provided with a third through hole and a locking bolt, and the first support ring is provided with a threaded hole that mates with the locking bolt. The locking bolt passes through the third through hole and connects to the threaded hole.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By setting several vertical airflow guide plates and forming a series of airflow channels with cavities inside, the gas flows downwards and the cooling water flows upwards in opposite directions, effectively promoting the cooling of the gas. The lower temperature gas tends to flow downwards, while the higher temperature cooling water tends to flow upwards; this natural tendency promotes the flow between the cooling water and the gas, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between them. The design of the first baffle not only helps guide the direction of airflow and water flow but also allows for periodic cleaning of the surface of the airflow guide plates. During operation, by pinching the upper ends of the first and second vertical plates to open their lower ends, scale and other deposits on the airflow guide plates can be scraped off, keeping them clean and ensuring their thermal conductivity.

[0021] Example 1
[0022] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-4This application provides a gas cooler, including a cooling box 1, an airflow guide plate 2, and a first partition 3. The cooling box 1 is provided with a plurality of vertical airflow guide plates 2, with three or more airflow guide plates 2. The first partition 3 is provided between the airflow guide plates 2. A cavity 4 is provided in the airflow guide plate 2. The lower end of the airflow guide plate 2 is connected to the upper end of another adjacent airflow guide plate 2. A plurality of airflow guide plates 2 are connected in series to form an airflow channel. The first partition 3 includes a first vertical plate 5 and a second vertical plate 6. The upper ends of the first vertical plate 5 and the second vertical plate 6 are connected. The bottom of the first vertical plate 5 is provided with a first through hole 7, and the top of the second vertical plate 6 is provided with a second through hole 8. The cooling box 1 is provided with a water inlet pipe 9 at the bottom of one side and a drain pipe 10 at the top of the other side. Cooling water enters the bottom of the cooling tank 1 through the inlet pipe 9, then covers the airflow guide plate 2 located at the rear, and flows upwards through the second through-hole 8 of the first partition 3. During this flow, the airflow guide plate 2 is covered by the flowing water. The gas inside the airflow guide plate 2 flows downwards, while the cooling water flows upwards, effectively promoting the cooling of the gas. The lower temperature gas tends to flow downwards, while the higher temperature cooling water tends to flow upwards, thus promoting the flow of both cooling water and gas and facilitating heat exchange. After passing through the second through-hole 8, the cooling water flows downwards between the two first partitions 3, and then through the first through-hole 7 into the airflow guide plate 2 located at the second-to-last position. The airflow guide plate 2 at the second-to-last position is also covered by cooling water, and the cooling water covering it also flows upwards, while the gas inside flows downwards, effectively promoting the cooling of the gas. After prolonged use, the surface of the airflow guide plate can be cleaned periodically using the first partition 3. During operation, pinch the upper ends of the first vertical plate 5 and the second vertical plate 6 to open the lower ends of the first vertical plate 5 and the second vertical plate 6. Use the lower ends of the first vertical plate 5 and the second vertical plate 6 to scrape the surface of the airflow guide plate, thereby removing scale and other deposits on the airflow guide plate 2, improving the cleanliness of the airflow guide plate, and ensuring the heat conduction efficiency of the airflow guide plate.
[0023] Specifically, the airflow guide plate is provided with several horizontally arranged second baffles 11, which are staggered to form several series of S-shaped channels 12 within the airflow guide plate. Gas enters the airflow guide plate from the top and then flows downwards along the S-shaped channels 12, promoting heat exchange between the gas and cooling water and improving the cooling effect on the gas.
[0024] Example 2
[0025] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-4The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the sides of the first vertical plate 5 and the second vertical plate 6 are provided with support strips 13, which are rotatably connected by a pivot 14. The support strips 13 connect the first vertical plate 5 and the second vertical plate 6. When the upper ends of the first vertical plate 5 and the second vertical plate 6 are pinched, the lower ends of the first vertical plate 5 and the second vertical plate 6 open, so that the first vertical plate 5 and the second vertical plate 6 come into contact with the surface of the airflow guide plate. Then, the first partition 3 is moved up and down repeatedly to clean the surface of the airflow guide plate.
[0026] Specifically, the airflow guide plates are interconnected via connecting pipes 15. Each connecting pipe includes a first vertical section 16, a bent section 17, and a second vertical section 18. The first vertical section 16 communicates with the inner cavity of the airflow guide plate, and the second vertical section 18 communicates with the inner cavity of another adjacent airflow guide plate. The bent section 17 connects the first vertical section 16 and the second vertical section 18. The bent section 17 reduces the bend in the airflow, making the gas flow smoother.
[0027] Specifically, the cooling box 1 has an opening 19 at the top, a first support ring 20 around the outer periphery of the opening 19, a cover 21 above the opening 19, and a second support ring 22 around the outer periphery of the cover 21. The cover 21 is used to cover the opening 19 when cooling the gas, and is opened again when cleaning the airflow guide plate. The first support ring 20 and the second support ring 22 increase the contact area, which helps prevent cooling water leakage. The first support ring 20 and the second support ring 22 also increase the strength of the opening 19 and the cover 21.
[0028] Preferably, a sealing ring 23 is provided at the top of the first support ring 20 and / or the bottom of the second support ring 22 to improve the sealing effect of the cover 21.
[0029] Optionally, the second support ring 22 is provided with a third through hole 24 and a locking bolt 25, and the first support ring 20 is provided with a threaded hole 26 that mates with the locking bolt 25. The locking bolt 25 passes through the third through hole 24 and is connected to the threaded hole 26. After the locking bolt 25 passes through the third through hole 24 and is tightened into the threaded hole 26, the cover 21 is firmly fixed at the opening 19, which can effectively seal the opening 19 of the cooling box 1.
[0030] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the stated claims.
