Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water-cooled condenser technology, specifically to a condenser tube. Background Technology
[0002] Water-cooled condensing technology was initially used for waste heat recovery in steam power systems. With the rise of the refrigeration and chemical industries, specially designed water-cooled condenser tubes emerged. Their core function is to achieve efficient heat conduction through water circulation and reduce the system operating temperature. They are also known as refrigeration units. Refrigeration units are mostly used for heat exchange of heat generated by industrial equipment.
[0003] Water-cooled vertical condensers are used to exchange heat generated by industrial equipment. After long-term use, impurities easily accumulate on the outside of the condenser tubes, forming scale. This results in low heat exchange efficiency and difficulty in cleaning the condenser tubes. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of condenser tube to solve these practical problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a condenser tube for a condenser, thus solving the aforementioned problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a condenser tube for a condenser through the following technical solution: a carrier, a support foot fixedly installed at the bottom of the carrier, an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the carrier respectively, and multiple sets of condenser tubes equidistantly installed inside the carrier.
[0006] It also includes a scale-reducing mechanism, which includes a fixed sleeve movably installed on the outside of the condenser tube, a brush tube sleeve fixedly installed inside the fixed sleeve, a waterproof layer sleeved on the outside of the fixed sleeve, a methyl silicone resin layer fixedly installed inside the waterproof layer, and multiple sets of hollow glass microspheres fixedly installed inside the methyl silicone resin layer.
[0007] Preferably, the waterproof layer comprises a phenolic resin layer and an outer epoxy resin layer.
[0008] Preferably, the condenser tube includes a composite tube coiled inside the carrier, a heat-conducting tube is sleeved on the outside of the composite tube, a titanium tube is sleeved on the outside of the heat-conducting tube, and heat exchange grooves are equidistantly opened on the outside of the titanium tube, and a fixed sleeve is slidably connected to the outside of the titanium tube.
[0009] Preferably, the composite pipe is a titanium-nickel alloy pipe.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the brush tube sleeve is provided with columnar cleaning elements that are evenly distributed, and the columnar cleaning elements are integrally formed from polycarbonate material.
[0011] Preferably, the heat exchange tank is at least one set, and the heat exchange tank has a V-shaped cross-section.
[0012] This invention provides a condenser tube for a condenser. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages.
[0013] 1. Buoyancy is provided by the combination of hollow glass microspheres and methyl silicone resin layer, and the buoyancy moves with the water level inside the device. The moving methyl silicone resin layer drives the fixed sleeve to move, and the moving brush tube sleeve cleans the scale adsorbed on the outside of the titanium tube. This avoids the problem of scale formation caused by impurities adsorbed on the outside of the condenser tube after long-term use in the water-cooled vertical condenser, which leads to low heat exchange efficiency of the condenser tube.
[0014] 2. The refrigerant flows inside the composite tube. The nickel alloy functional layer enhances the heat transfer performance by improving the phase change heat transfer efficiency. The heat pipe transfers the temperature. At the same time, the heat exchange groove design on the outer wall of the titanium tube increases the contact area with the external water source. The apex corner of the heat exchange groove accelerates the liquid film flow and reduces the liquid film thickness, thereby reducing the thermal resistance and improving the overall heat transfer efficiency, thus improving the heat exchange efficiency of the water source.

[0023] 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.
[0024] First implementation method:
[0025] refer to Figure 1-6 A condenser tube includes a carrier 1, a support foot 101 fixedly installed at the bottom of the carrier 1, an inlet pipe 3 and an outlet pipe 4 fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the carrier 1 respectively, and multiple sets of condenser tubes 2 are installed at equal intervals inside the carrier 1.
[0026] It also includes a scale-reducing mechanism 5, which includes a fixed sleeve 501 that is movably installed on the outside of the condenser tube 2. A brush tube sleeve 502 is fixedly installed inside the fixed sleeve 501. A waterproof layer 504 is sleeved on the outside of the fixed sleeve 501. A methyl silicone resin layer 503 is fixedly installed inside the waterproof layer 504. Multiple sets of hollow glass microspheres 505 are fixedly installed inside the methyl silicone resin layer 503.
[0027] The waterproof layer 504 includes a phenolic resin layer and an epoxy resin layer covering the outside. The inner wall of the brush tube sleeve 502 is provided with columnar cleaning elements 6 distributed at equal intervals, and the columnar cleaning elements 6 are integrally molded from polycarbonate material.
[0028] First, connect the water inlet pipe 3 to the external water supply equipment and transport the water source to the inside of the device through the water inlet pipe 3. The water source enters the inside of the carrier 1. As the water source fills the inside of the carrier 1, the change in water level can drive the methyl silicone resin layer 503 to move upward synchronously through the hollow glass microspheres 505. The upward movement of the methyl silicone resin layer 503 drives the fixed sleeve 501 to move synchronously. The synchronously moving fixed sleeve 501 can drive the brush tube sleeve 502 to clean the scale adsorbed on the outside of the titanium tube 203.
[0029] The brush sleeve 502 can perform flexible contact cleaning on the outside of the titanium tube 203, and the columnar cleaning part 6 can perform rigid contact cleaning on the outside of the titanium tube 203. This completes the function of removing scale from the outside of the titanium tube 203, avoiding the problem of scale formation caused by impurities adsorbed on the outside of the condenser tube after long-term use in the water-cooled vertical condenser, which leads to low heat exchange efficiency of the condenser tube.
[0030] Meanwhile, when the device stops running, after the internal water source is discharged through the water outlet pipe 4, the hollow glass microspheres 505 lose the buoyancy of the water source, causing the fixed sleeve 501 to move downward under the influence of the weight of the hollow glass microspheres 505, the methyl silicone resin layer 503, and the waterproof layer 504. The downward moving fixed sleeve 501 drives the brush tube sleeve 502 to clean the outside of the titanium tube 203 by contact, thus realizing the function of reciprocating cleaning of the titanium tube 203.
[0031] Secondly, the corrosion-resistant properties of the phenolic resin layer and epoxy resin layer prevent the water source from contacting the methyl silicone resin layer 503, reducing the water absorption rate of the methyl silicone resin layer 503. It is also suitable for high-temperature environments. Finally, the heat-absorbing water source is transported to external equipment through the water outlet pipe 4 for heat exchange, thus completing the heat exchange.
[0032] Second implementation method:
[0033] The low contact area between the water source and the titanium tube 203 caused by the flowing water inside the device, and the easy formation of a liquid film on the outside of the titanium tube 203 during contact, resulted in low heat exchange efficiency between the water source and the refrigerant flowing inside the composite tube 201.
[0034] refer to Figure 2-4 , Figure 7 In the second embodiment of this utility model, the condenser tube 2 includes a composite tube 201 coiled inside the carrier 1. A heat-conducting tube 202 is sleeved on the outside of the composite tube 201. A titanium tube 203 is sleeved on the outside of the heat-conducting tube 202. Heat exchange grooves 204 are equidistantly opened on the outside of the titanium tube 203. A fixing sleeve 501 is slidably connected to the outside of the titanium tube 203. The composite tube 201 is specifically a titanium-nickel alloy tube. There is at least one set of heat exchange grooves 204. The cross-section of the heat exchange grooves 204 is V-shaped.
[0035] After connecting both ends of the composite pipe 201 to external equipment, the refrigerant to be cooled can be delivered into the composite pipe 201 for heat exchange and then flow out to the external equipment. The heat pipe 202 uses graphene material, which facilitates temperature transfer. At the same time, the heat exchange groove 204 on the outer wall of the titanium pipe 203 is designed to increase the contact area with the external water source. The apex corner of the heat exchange groove 204 will accelerate the liquid film flow and reduce the liquid film thickness, thereby reducing the thermal resistance and improving the overall heat transfer efficiency, thus improving the heat exchange efficiency of the water source.
[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
