Description

An electric heater for heating gas Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric heater technology, and in particular to an electric heater for heating gas. Background Technology

[0002] Electric heaters can convert electrical energy into heat energy to heat gases. They are widely used in industries, laboratories, HVAC, and other fields. The working principle is that current passes through a resistance wire (such as nickel-chromium alloy) to generate heat, which heats the gas through heat conduction or radiation. To prevent dust and impurities in the gas from adhering to the electric heating tube and affecting the heat exchange efficiency, the incoming air usually needs to be filtered.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN202223046972.3 discloses a dual-junction box electric heater for gas heating. In use, gas is introduced through the inlet pipe and flows downwards into the heater body. First, the gas exits from the bottom of the inlet pipe and passes through a primary filter, which removes most dust and impurities. Then, it passes through a high-efficiency filter for a second round of filtration, intercepting finer dust and impurities. The combined effect of the primary and high-efficiency filters... This device achieves the effect of gas filtration, removing dust from the gas and preventing dust from adhering to the inside of the electric heater body. The filtration effect is good. When in use, by pulling the ring rod on the outer surface of the fixing block outward, the fixing block moves the limiting rod outward and slides out from the limiting hole. At this time, both the primary filter and the high-efficiency filter lose their limiting position, and the primary filter and the high-efficiency filter can be pulled, making it convenient for staff to clean. Furthermore, by sliding the L-shaped block out from the L-shaped groove, the primary filter and the high-efficiency filter can be separated, making cleaning even more convenient.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following drawbacks. Although such an electric heater structure can filter the incoming air through a filter screen to prevent dust from adhering to the electric heating tube and affecting the heat exchange efficiency, in actual use, there is a lack of detection methods, making it inconvenient to determine the appropriate time to clean the filter screen. Moreover, cleaning requires disassembling and reassembling the filter screen structure of the electric heater, making maintenance work relatively laborious. To prevent dust from adhering to the electric heating tube and affecting the heat exchange efficiency of the electric heater, and to facilitate timely cleaning of filtered dust, an electric heater for gas heating is proposed. This heater is equipped with an arc-shaped filter screen cylinder to filter the incoming air, thereby preventing dust and impurities from adhering to the electric heating tube and affecting the heat exchange efficiency. Differential pressure sensors are installed at both ends of the filter structure to detect the pressure difference before and after the filter screen. When the pressure difference is large, the electric cleaning structure can be activated in time to clean the filter screen cylinder. The filtered dust and impurities can be cleaned without removing the filter structure, making maintenance work more convenient.

[0005] In view of this, this work improves and solves the above problems. Through dedicated research and application of theoretical principles, a technical solution with a reasonable design that can effectively improve the above defects has finally been proposed.

[0006] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the general background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This invention provides an electric heater for gas heating, which solves the problems mentioned in the background. Differential pressure sensors are set at both ends of the filter structure to detect the pressure difference before and after the filter screen. When the pressure difference is large, the electric cleaning structure is activated to clean the filter screen cylinder. The filter dust and impurities can be cleaned without removing the filter structure, making maintenance more convenient.

[0008] The solution to the above-mentioned technical problems of this utility model is as follows: An electric heater for gas heating includes a duct-type electric heater body, a gas filter box, a gas inlet pipe, a gas outlet pipe, a first sealing door, a mounting plate, a filter screen cylinder, a cleaning rod, and a dust collection box. The gas outlet pipe, the duct-type electric heater body, the gas filter box, and the gas inlet pipe are connected in sequence. The duct-type electric heater body is provided with electric heating tubes and an air heating chamber. The electric heating tubes are evenly arranged in the air heating chamber. The first sealing door is installed at the duct-type electric heater body and is evenly fixed. A partition plate is fixedly installed, and the mounting plate is threadedly connected to the filter screen cylinder. The mounting plate is installed in the gas filter box by bolts. The gas filter box is equipped with a motor protective cover, which is rotatably connected to a cleaning rod. The cleaning rod is equipped with a cleaning brush. The gas filter box is fixedly connected to an impurity discharge hopper. A drive motor is installed inside the motor protective cover, and the drive end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the cleaning rod. The dust collection box is connected to the impurity discharge hopper by bolts. Two differential pressure sensors are provided, and the two differential pressure sensors are respectively placed on both sides of the filter screen cylinder.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0010] Furthermore, the partition plate is provided with multiple staggered arrangements, and the air heating chamber is divided into S-shaped air heating channels by the partition plate. The S-shaped air heating channels formed by the staggered partition plates can effectively extend the heating time of air in the main body of the air duct electric heater, thereby ensuring the heating effect.

[0011] Furthermore, the main body of the air duct type electric heater has a slot corresponding to the partition plate, and a high-temperature resistant sealing gasket is provided in the slot, so that the partition plate can be stably placed in the main body of the air duct type electric heater for dividing the cavity.

[0012] Furthermore, the gas filter housing has a limit slot corresponding to the mounting plate. The limit slot can be connected to the mounting plate with bolts, making the mounting plate easy to disassemble and assemble, thereby allowing for maintenance and replacement of the loaded filter cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, the motor protective cover is provided with a wiring channel, which extends out from the gas filter box, and the wiring harness of the drive motor can be passed through the wiring channel.

[0014] Furthermore, the motor protective cover is rotatably connected to the cleaning rod via a bearing, and one end of the motor protective cover is set with an arc-shaped structure. The motor protective cover can weigh the cleaning rod, thereby preventing the drive end of the drive motor from being damaged by force.

[0015] Furthermore, the outer wall of the filter cylinder is configured with an arc-shaped structure, the cleaning rod is adapted to the outer wall of the filter cylinder, and the cleaning brush is in close contact with the filter cylinder, so that the cleaning brush can clean the filter cylinder during rotation.

[0016] Furthermore, the dust collection box is equipped with casters at the bottom, and the gas filter box is equipped with a second sealing door. The dust collection box with casters is easy to move, and the second sealing door is connected to the gas filter box with screws. After removal, the internal components can be maintained.

[0017] This invention provides an electric heater for gas heating, which has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. The filter screen at the mounting plate can filter the incoming air, thereby preventing dust and impurities from adhering to the motor heat pipe and affecting the heat exchange efficiency. The air heating chamber of the duct-type electric heater body is divided into S-shaped air heating channels by partition plates, which can effectively increase the heating time and make the air fully heated.

[0019] 2. The differential pressure sensors on both sides can detect the differential pressure on both sides of the filter cylinder. When the filter cylinder is clogged, the airflow resistance increases, causing the differential pressure ΔP across the filter to rise. The initial differential pressure ΔP0 of a new filter at the rated flow rate is usually 50-100 Pa. When ΔP reaches 1.5-2 times ΔP0, it needs to be cleaned. This monitoring structure allows for timely detection of large differential pressures, enabling timely cleaning of the filter and ensuring ventilation efficiency and filter safety.

[0020] 3. Start the drive motor inside the motor protective cover to drive the cleaning rod to clean the outer wall of the filter screen cylinder. The cleaned dust and impurities can be collected in the dust collection box through the impurity discharge hopper. The dust collection box can be removed by removing the bolts connecting the impurity discharge hopper and the dust collection box, so that the dust collected inside can be treated uniformly.

[0021] 4. This type of electric heater for gas heating is equipped with an arc-shaped filter screen to filter the incoming air, thus preventing dust and impurities from adhering to the heating element and affecting heat exchange efficiency. Differential pressure sensors are installed at both ends of the filter structure to detect the pressure difference before and after the filter. When the pressure difference is large, the electric cleaning mechanism is activated in time to clean the filter screen, ensuring the air passage rate of the electric heater. Dust and impurities can be cleaned without removing the filter structure, making maintenance more convenient.
