[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0024] Example 1
[0025] Regarding the problem 1 that needs to be solved above: the existing heat exchange equipment does not exchange heat in an all-round way, resulting in a slow heating speed of the water in the cold pipe by the heat in the hot pipe, which affects the operation of the equipment.
[0026] The solution is as follows: A modular heat exchanger includes a device body 1. The device body 1 includes a heat exchange box 2, a top cover 3, a mounting bracket 4, and a heat exchange pipe assembly 5. The top cover 3 is installed on the top of the heat exchange box 2, the mounting bracket 4 is installed inside the heat exchange box 2, and the heat exchange pipe assembly 5 is installed on the mounting bracket 4 and located inside the heat exchange box 2. The heat exchange pipe assembly 5 includes a hot water pipe 6, a cold water pipe 7, a hot water connector 8, and a cold water connector 9. Each of the hot water pipes 6 and cold water pipes 7 has three pipes, which are installed in a staggered manner. Each of the hot water connectors 8 and cold water connectors 9 has one set, which is installed at the front and rear ends of the heat exchange box 2, respectively. Each set of hot water connectors 8 is connected to the heat exchange box 2 via pipes. Three hot water pipes 6 are connected together, and a set of cold water connectors 9 are respectively connected to the three cold water pipes 7 through pipes. Both the hot water pipes 6 and the cold water pipes 7 include a middle pipe 10 and a side pipe 11. A set of side pipes 11 is provided, and the set of side pipes 11 is located at the left and right ends of the middle pipe 10. The middle pipe 10 has a rectangular structure, and the side pipes 11 have a W-shaped structure. During heat exchange, because the hot water pipes 6 and the cold water pipes 7 are installed in an alternating manner, the heat of the hot water pipes 7 can be transferred to the cold water pipes 6, thus exchanging heat with the cold water pipes 6. The alternating arrangement of the three hot water pipes 6 and the cold water pipes 7 reduces heat loss. The W-shaped structure of the middle pipe 10 inside the hot water pipes 6 and the cold water pipes 7 increases the heat exchange time and improves the heat exchange efficiency.
[0027] Both the hot water connector 8 and the cold water connector 9 include a manifold 16 and a main pipe 17. The main pipe 17 is installed at the outer end of the manifold 16. The manifold 16 has a trapezoidal structure. Three connection ports 18 are arranged in a row at equal intervals on the inner side of the manifold 16. During heat exchange, the hot water in the hot water connector 8 is diverted to the three hot water pipes 6 through the pipe for heat exchange. After the heat exchange is completed, the hot water in the three hot water pipes 6 is transported to another hot water connector 8 through the pipe for centralized discharge. Meanwhile, the cold water in the cold water connector 9 is diverted to the three cold water pipes 7 through the pipe for heat exchange. After the heat exchange is completed, the water in the three cold water pipes 7 is transported to another cold water connector 9 through the pipe for centralized discharge.
[0028] The mounting bracket 4 includes a base plate 12 and a fixing bracket 13. The base plate 12 has a rectangular structure. A set of fixing brackets 13 is provided, and the set of fixing brackets 13 is respectively installed at the front end and rear end of the top of the base plate 12. The fixing brackets 13 have an H-shaped structure. The left and right sides of the base plate 12 are provided with side mounting feet 14. The surface of the side mounting feet 14 is provided with fixing holes 15. When supporting and fixing the heat exchange pipe device 5, the workers embed both ends of the heat exchange pipe device 5 into a set of fixing brackets 13 respectively. The H-shaped fixing brackets 13 can provide good support and fixation.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] Regarding the second problem to be solved above: the existing heat exchange equipment has poor insulation, which easily leads to heat loss.
[0031] The solution is as follows: The heat exchange box 2 has a rectangular structure, including an outer box 19 and an inner box 20. The inner box 20 is located inside the outer box 19. Insulation cotton 21 is filled between the outer box 19 and the inner box 20. Filling the space between the outer box 19 and the inner box 20 with insulation cotton 21 can effectively improve the heat preservation effect of the heat exchange box 2, reduce heat loss, and improve heat exchange efficiency.
[0032] Working principle: During heat exchange, because the hot water pipe 6 and cold water pipe 7 are installed in an alternating vertical arrangement, the heat from the hot water pipe 7 can be transferred to the cold water pipe 6, thus exchanging heat with the cold water pipe 6. The alternating vertical arrangement of the three hot water pipes 6 and cold water pipes 7 reduces heat loss. The W-shaped structure of the inner pipes 10 of the hot water pipes 6 and cold water pipes 7 increases the heat exchange time and improves the heat exchange efficiency. During heat exchange, the hot water in the hot water connector 8 is distributed to the three hot water pipes 6 through pipes for heat exchange. After the heat exchange is completed, the hot water in the three hot water pipes 6 is transported to another hot water connector 8 through pipes for centralized discharge. Similarly, the cold water in the cold water connector 9 is distributed to the three cold water pipes 7 through pipes for heat exchange. After the heat exchange is completed, the water in the three cold water pipes 7 that has undergone heat exchange is transported to another cold water connector 9 through pipes for centralized discharge.
[0033] The present invention comprises: 1. Device body; 2. Heat exchange box; 3. Top cover; 4. Mounting bracket; 5. Heat exchange pipe device; 6. Hot water pipe; 7. Cold water pipe; 8. Hot water connector; 9. Cold water connector; 10. Middle pipe; 11. Side pipe; 12. Base plate; 13. Fixing frame; 14. Side mounting feet; 15. Fixing hole; 16. Flow collector; 17. Main pipe; 18. Connection port; 19. Outer box; 20. Inner box; 21. Insulation cotton. All components are general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principles can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. The problem solved by this invention is that existing heat exchange equipment does not achieve comprehensive heat exchange, resulting in slow heating of water in cold pipes by heat in hot pipes, affecting the operation of workers. Through the combination of the above components, this invention can effectively increase the heat exchange efficiency between hot and cold water pipes, thereby reducing energy waste.
