Therefore, to advance industry technology, better realize the thermal conversion function of catalytic particles within the heat exchanger, and enhance core technological competitiveness, this application proposes a new implementation scheme that differs from the feeding structure and application method of existing fluidized bed heat exchangers.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Reference Figures 1-5 A fluidized bed heat exchanger for crushable catalytic particles includes a shell 1, which includes a main shell 101. One end of the main shell 101 is connected to a first end shell 102 via a flange. The other end of the first end shell 102 is welded to a first connecting pipe 106. The other end of the main shell 101 is connected to a second end shell 103 via a flange. The other end of the second end shell 103 is welded to a second connecting pipe 107. One end of the first connecting pipe 106 and one end of the second connecting pipe 107 are both connected to a second valve body 11 via flanges. The second valve body 11 controls the airflow state inside the shell 1.

[0029] A feed pipe 104 is welded to the top of the main body shell 101, and a discharge pipe 105 is welded to the bottom of the main body shell 101. A three-way pipe 3 is connected to the top of the feed pipe 104 through a flange. A first valve body 8 is connected to one end of the three-way pipe 3 and the bottom end of the discharge pipe 105 through a flange. The catalytic particles are put into the three-way pipe 3, and then the catalytic particles fall into the main body shell 101 through the feed pipe 104.

[0030] The top end of the three-way pipe 3 is fixed with a first motor 4 by bolts. The output end of the first motor 4 is connected to a connecting rod 5 by a coupling key. The bottom end of the connecting rod 5 passes through the three-way pipe 3 and the feed pipe 104 and is fixed with multiple crushing blades 6 by bolts. The inner circumference of the three-way pipe 3 is fixed with a support plate 7 by bolts. The connecting rod 5 and the support plate 7 are rotatably inserted. Some of the crushing blades 6 are located inside the feed pipe 104. Driven by the first motor 4, the connecting rod 5 rotates, thereby driving the crushing blades 6 to rotate and contact the catalytic particles that have adhered to each other and formed agglomerates, thereby crushing the adhered catalytic particles and increasing their fluidity.

[0031] One end of the inner circumference of the main shell 101 is connected to a rear support plate 9 via a flange, and the other end of the inner circumference of the main shell 101 is connected to a front support ring 10 via a flange. A sealing ring is provided between the front support ring 10, the rear support plate 9 and the inner circumference of the main shell 101 to make them fit together. A heat exchange assembly 2 is provided inside the main shell 101, and the heat exchange assembly 2 is located between the rear support plate 9 and the front support ring 10.

[0032] The heat exchange assembly 2 includes a front connecting plate 201 and a rear connecting plate 202. Multiple heat exchange tubes 203 are sealed and inserted between the front connecting plate 201 and the rear connecting plate 202. The multiple heat exchange tubes 203 are circularly converged and distributed at the center of the front connecting plate 201 and the rear connecting plate 202. The heat exchange tubes 203 are aluminum metal tubes. Multiple fins 204 are welded to the outer wall of the heat exchange tubes 203. The fins 204 are spiral structures. The increase of fins 204 increases the exchange area of ​​the catalytic particles and improves the heat transfer efficiency.

[0033] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, firstly, open the first valve body 8, then put the catalytic particles into the three-way pipe 3, and then the catalytic particles fall into the main body shell 101 through the feed pipe 104. During the falling of the catalytic particles, the first motor 4 is started. Under the drive of the first motor 4, the connecting rod 5 rotates, thereby driving the crushing blade 6 to rotate and contact the catalytic particles, thereby crushing the adhering catalytic particles. Then, the catalytic particles fall into the main body shell 101 to react.

[0034] During the reaction, the second valve body 11 is opened, and the heat generated by the reaction of the catalytic particles is transferred to the heat exchange tube 203 and the fins 204. At this time, the first connecting pipe 106 is connected to an external liquid supply device, and the coolant enters the heat exchange tube 203 from the first connecting pipe 106 and then undergoes heat exchange. Finally, the coolant leaves the heat exchange tube 203 from the second connecting pipe 107 and returns to the coolant storage container, completing the heat exchange.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] In this embodiment, the difference from embodiment 1 is that air cooling is used. A support frame 12 is fixed to one side of the inner wall of the first end shell 102 by bolts. A second motor 13 is fixed to one side of the support frame 12 by bolts. Multiple fan blades 14 are fixed to the output end of the second motor 13 by bolts. The blade length of the fan blades 14 is greater than the distribution radius of the heat exchange tube 203. There is a certain gap between the fan blades 14 and the front support ring 10 to ensure that the air force generated by the fan blades 14 can enter the heat exchange tube 203.

[0037] Driven by the second motor 13, the fan blade 14 rotates, thereby inputting gas from the first connecting pipe 106 into the main body shell 101. Then, the gas passes through the heat exchange pipe 203 and fins 204 to remove the heat from it. Then, the gas and heat are discharged from the second connecting pipe 107, thereby avoiding excessively high reaction temperature of the catalytic particles.

[0038] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, firstly, open the first valve body 8, then put the catalytic particles into the three-way pipe 3, and then the catalytic particles fall into the main body shell 101 through the feed pipe 104. During the falling of the catalytic particles, the first motor 4 is started. Under the drive of the first motor 4, the connecting rod 5 rotates, thereby driving the crushing blade 6 to rotate and contact the catalytic particles, thereby crushing the adhering catalytic particles. Then, the catalytic particles fall into the main body shell 101 to react.

[0039] During the reaction, the second valve body 11 is opened, and the heat generated by the reaction of the catalytic particles is transferred to the heat exchange tube 203 and fins 204. Then, driven by the second motor 13, the fan blade 14 rotates, thereby inputting the gas from the first connecting pipe 106 into the main shell 101. Then, the gas passes through the heat exchange tube 203 and fins 204 to remove the heat. Then, the gas and heat are discharged from the second connecting pipe 107, thereby avoiding the reaction temperature of the catalytic particles from getting too high. Finally, the catalytic particles are discharged from the discharge pipe 105.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
