Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ammonium chloride production, and in particular relates to a fluidized bed heat exchanger. Background Technology

[0002] The fluidized bed production of ammonium chloride causes the heat exchanger coils to sway with the fluidized material, which can easily lead to cracks at the weld between the heat exchanger coil roots and the wall panel, resulting in steam leakage and bed stagnation. In addition, each maintenance requires the material in the bed to be cleaned and the ventilation and replacement to be qualified before maintenance can be carried out. The maintenance time is long, and the working environment is poor in the fluidized bed, so the maintenance quality cannot be guaranteed.

[0003] In existing fluidized bed heat exchangers, the tubes are directly welded to the wall panels, which often leads to cracking and steam leakage at the welds when the device shakes.

[0004] In addition, the long repair time after the heat exchanger tubes rupture can lead to a poor working environment.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new fluidized bed heat exchanger, its fixing method, and its maintenance method. Utility Model Content

[0006] Technical objective: The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fluidized bed heat exchanger in which the sleeve and the heat exchanger tubes are not welded and can slide relative to each other, and the seamlessness is maintained by thermal expansion and contraction, thereby reducing the risk of leakage in the heat exchanger tubes due to shaking and changes in the properties of welding materials.

[0007] To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A fluidized bed heat exchanger, fixed inside a fluidized bed, includes:

[0009] A fluidized bed heat exchanger, fixed inside a fluidized bed, includes:

[0010] The heat exchanger tubes include multiple spaced-apart curved tubes, the upper end of which is an opening for steam inlet and the lower end of which is an opening for steam and condensate outlet.

[0011] The wall panel has holes through which the heat exchanger tubes pass to support the heat exchanger tubes.

[0012] A sleeve is provided between the hole in the wall panel and the heat exchanger tubes. The outer diameter of the sleeve is fixed to the hole in the wall panel, and the inner diameter of the sleeve is clearance-fitted with the outer diameter of the heat exchanger tubes.

[0013] When steam is not supplied, the inner diameter of the sleeve can slide between the heat exchanger tubes. When steam is supplied, the inner diameter of the sleeve and the outer diameter of the heat exchanger tubes are interference-fitted due to thermal expansion and contraction.

[0014] Furthermore, the sleeve is welded and fixed to the wall panel.

[0015] Furthermore, the materials of the sleeve and the heat exchanger tubes are both 316L stainless steel.

[0016] Furthermore, one side of the heat exchanger is bolted to the fluidized bed.

[0017] Furthermore, wall panel support wheels are installed on the lower part of the wall panel, resting on the fluidized bed bottom plate.

[0018] Furthermore, a mobile maintenance vehicle is provided at the outlet of the fluidized bed, and the height of the mobile maintenance vehicle's floor plate is the same as the height of the fluidized bed floor plate.

[0019] A method for fixing a fluidized bed heat exchanger includes the following steps:

[0020] S1. The heated sleeve expands and is then placed on the heat exchanger tubes for cooling, thus fixing the sleeve to the heat exchanger tubes.

[0021] S2. Insert the heat exchanger tubes into the holes in the wall plate and weld the sleeve to the wall plate for fixation.

[0022] S3. During production, steam is introduced into the heat exchanger tubes, and the shell is heated by heat transfer from the heat exchanger tubes. The temperature of the heat exchanger tubes is slightly higher than that of the shell, and the thermal expansion volume of the heat exchanger tubes increases slightly more than that of the shell, so that the gap between the heat exchanger tubes and the hole in the wall plate remains seamless.

[0023] A method for overhauling a fluidized bed heat exchanger includes the following steps:

[0024] S1. Stop fluidized bed production and dismantle its input steam and recovered steam and condensate pipelines;

[0025] S2. Place the mobile maintenance cart at the fluidized bed outlet and secure it.

[0026] S3. Remove the connecting bolts between the heat exchanger and the fluidized bed;

[0027] S4. Pull the heat exchanger onto the mobile maintenance vehicle for repair or complete replacement.

[0028] S5. After maintenance is completed, push the heat exchanger on the mobile maintenance vehicle into the fluidized bed.

[0029] S6. Install the connecting bolts between the heat exchanger and the fluidized bed, and resume production.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0031] First, this utility model modifies the wall panel by welding a section of sleeve, with the heat exchanger tubes inserted into the sleeve. The sleeve and the heat exchanger tubes are not welded together and can slide relative to each other. Thermal expansion and contraction are used to maintain a seamless connection, reducing the problem of easy cracking and leakage of the heat exchanger tubes due to shaking of the heat exchanger tubes and changes in the properties of the welding materials.

[0032] Secondly, the heat exchanger of this utility model is bolted to the fluidized bed and is equipped with casters, so it can be moved to a mobile maintenance vehicle outside the fluidized bed. The maintenance method changes the heat exchanger from being maintained inside the furnace to being maintained outside the furnace, which not only improves the maintenance environment and enhances the maintenance quality, but also shortens the maintenance time, achieving multiple benefits.

[0033] Third, the technical solution provided by this utility model reduces the number of times heat exchangers need to be repaired due to shaking and cracking by 80% in actual production practice, and reduces the repair time for heat exchanger leakage from 8 hours to 4 hours.
