[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0028] See attached document Figures 1-2 The heat exchanger explosion-proof device mainly includes a fire barrel 1, a burner 12, a delivery pipeline 11, and an explosion-proof pressure relief mechanism. The fire barrel 1 is fixedly installed via a steel frame, and its front end is connected to the burner 12 and the delivery pipeline 11 via dual-channel flanges. The burner 12 integrates an ignition electrode and a Venturi mixer, enabling premixing and ignition of liquid fuel and air. The mixed fuel gas is injected into the fire barrel 1 through the burner outlet for complete combustion.

[0029] The conveying pipeline 11 adopts a multi-section flow guiding design, with three stages of variable diameter guide pipes arranged in series along the pipeline. A high-temperature resistant exhaust port 13 is installed at the end. For abnormal combustion conditions, an explosion-proof pipe 2 is installed at the third stage guide pipe section of the conveying pipeline 11, sealed with a 304 stainless steel sealing plate 22. The sealing plate 22 is unidirectionally hinged via a high-precision hinge 21. When the system internal pressure exceeds a specified value, the air pressure impact force overcomes the torque threshold of the hinge 21, pushing the sealing plate 22 to open the pressure relief angle, achieving rapid explosion relief protection.

[0030] See attached document Figures 3-6 To further promote the stable operation of the heat exchanger, a pressure stabilizing device is also provided on 1. The pressure stabilizing device includes a pressure stabilizing tube 3, a pressure stabilizing plunger 4, and a threaded plunger 5. A coaxial pressure stabilizing hole 31 and a control hole 32 are axially opened in the pressure stabilizing tube 3, and a connecting hole 33 is connected between the pressure stabilizing hole 31 and the control hole 32. The pressure stabilizing hole 31, the control hole 32, and the connecting hole 33 are coaxially arranged. An exhaust hole 34 and a spring hole 35 are radially opened on the pressure stabilizing tube 3. The exhaust hole 34 extends into the pressure stabilizing hole 31, and the spring hole 35 extends into the control hole 32.

[0031] A pressure-stabilizing plunger 4 with an axial through-hole structure is installed in the pressure-stabilizing hole 31, and a threaded plunger 5 with an axial through-hole structure is installed in the control hole 32. The pressure-stabilizing plunger 4 and the threaded plunger 5 correspond to each other. A sealing gasket is also provided on the end side of the pressure-stabilizing plunger 4 away from the threaded plunger 5. One end of the pressure-stabilizing plunger 4 with a sealing ring is in the pressure-stabilizing hole 31, and the other end is in the connecting hole 33. The middle section of the pressure-stabilizing plunger 4 has a bellows structure, which allows the pressure-stabilizing plunger 4 to extend and retract within the pressure-stabilizing hole 31. A hole is also provided around the bellows of the pressure-stabilizing plunger 4. When the pressure in 1 increases, the bellows of the pressure-stabilizing plunger 4 extends, and gas can be released from the bellows. Gas overflows from the hole. When the pressure-stabilizing plunger 4 contracts under the resistance of the threaded plunger 5, the bellows folds completely block the hole, and the gas will only be discharged from the release hole 41 and the through hole of the threaded plunger 5. The release hole 41 is axially provided on the pressure-stabilizing plunger 4. The threaded plunger 5 is threadedly connected to the control hole 32. The nut end ring of the threaded plunger 5 is provided with multiple arc-shaped surfaces 51. A spring 53 is provided in the spring hole 35. The spring 53 and the arc-shaped surfaces 51 are elastically connected by a ball head 52. A hexagonal structure is provided on the end face of the arc-shaped surface 51.
