[0003] In existing water bath vaporizers, the heat exchange tubes are directly installed on the vaporizer tank or inside the vaporizer. If the heat exchange tubes leak or cause other problems, the tank needs to be removed in order to repair and maintain the heat exchange tubes, which is very inconvenient.

[0004] In view of this, there is an urgent need for a horizontal steam-heated water bath vaporizer. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The mounting plate is provided with a plurality of heat exchange tubes on one side facing the heat exchange cavity. One end of each heat exchange tube is an inlet, and the other end is an outlet. Both the inlet and the outlet are located on the mounting plate.

[0009] The heat exchange chamber is equipped with a heating component.

[0010] The integrated port also includes a flow divider cavity disposed on the side of the mounting plate away from the heat exchange tubes, wherein the inlets of several heat exchange tubes are connected to the flow divider cavity, and a liquid inlet is provided on one side of the flow divider cavity.

[0011] The integrated port also includes a gas collection cavity disposed on the side of the mounting plate away from the heat exchange tubes, and the outlets of several heat exchange tubes are connected to the gas collection cavity, with an air outlet provided on one side of the gas collection cavity.

[0012] The heat exchange tube is U-shaped.

[0013] The heat exchange tubes are arranged horizontally on both sides.

[0014] A baffle plate is provided inside the heat exchange tube, and the baffle plate extends spirally along the extension direction of the heat exchange tube.

[0015] A connecting flange is provided at the mounting port, and the fixing component includes several bolts. The mounting plate is fixed to the connecting flange by several bolts.

[0016] The heating assembly includes a heating pipe that extends from the outside of the tank into the heat exchange chamber. A portion of the heating pipe within the heat exchange chamber is provided with several steam nozzles, and the heating pipe is connected to an external steam device.

[0029] It should be noted that the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification, claims and accompanying drawings of this utility model are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, apparatus, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such processes, methods, products or devices.

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 This application will be described in further detail.

[0031] refer to Figure 1 The horizontal steam-heated water bath vaporizer shown includes: a tank body 1, a heat exchange chamber 2 inside the tank body 1, an installation port on one side of the tank body 1, an integrated port at the installation port, the integrated port including an installation plate 4 and a fixing component, the fixing component being used to fix the installation plate 4 at the installation port;

[0032] A number of heat exchange tubes 5 are provided on the side of the mounting plate 4 facing the heat exchange chamber 2. One end of the heat exchange tube 5 is the inlet and the other end is the outlet. Both the inlet and the outlet are located on the mounting plate 4.

[0033] A heating component is installed inside the heat exchange chamber 2.

[0034] Based on the above structure, during use, cryogenic media such as liquid nitrogen are introduced from the inlet of heat exchange tube 5 and heated by the heating component, which raises the temperature of the liquid in heat exchange chamber 2 and exchanges heat with the cryogenic media in heat exchange tube 5. The gas after heat exchange is discharged from the outlet of heat exchange tube 5. Since heat exchange tube 5 is installed on mounting plate 4 and mounting plate 4 is fixed to the installation port by fixing component, when heat exchange tube 5 fails, the fixing can be released and the mounting plate 4 can be controlled to pull the heat exchange tube 5 and the whole assembly out of tank 1 for easy maintenance.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the integrated port also includes a flow distribution cavity 6 located on the side of the mounting plate 4 away from the heat exchange tubes 5. The inlets of several heat exchange tubes 5 are all connected to the flow distribution cavity 6. A liquid inlet 7 is provided on one side of the flow distribution cavity 6. Thus, by inputting the low-temperature medium into the flow distribution cavity 6 through the liquid inlet 7, it can be distributed to several heat exchange tubes 5. Similarly, the integrated port also includes a gas collection cavity 8 located on the side of the mounting plate 4 away from the heat exchange tubes 5. The outlets of several heat exchange tubes 5 are all connected to the gas collection cavity 8. A gas outlet 9 is provided on one side of the gas collection cavity 8, so that the gas generated in several heat exchange tubes 5 is collected into the gas collection cavity 8 and then discharged through the gas outlet 9.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the heat exchange tube 5 is U-shaped and the two sides of the heat exchange tube 5 are horizontally arranged, while the tank body 1 is horizontal in the whole. The advantage of this design is that the overall height is low, the center of gravity is low, and the wind resistance is strong.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to improve the heat exchange effect, a baffle plate 10 is provided inside the heat exchange tube 5. The baffle plate 10 extends spirally along the extension direction of the heat exchange tube 5, so that the residence time of the low temperature liquid medium in the heat exchange tube 5 is longer, thus extending the heat exchange time.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to facilitate the fixing of the mounting plate 4, a connecting flange 3 is provided at the mounting port. The fixing component includes several bolts. The mounting plate 4 is fixed to the connecting flange 3 by several bolts, and a sealing element is provided between the connecting flange 3 and the mounting plate 4 to improve the sealing performance.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to heat the liquid in the tank 1, the heating assembly includes a heating pipe 11. The heating pipe 11 extends from the outside of the tank 1 into the heat exchange chamber 2. The portion of the heating pipe 11 inside the heat exchange chamber 2 is equipped with several steam nozzles 12. The heating pipe 11 is connected to a steam device. The heating pipe 11 is horizontally positioned below several heat exchange pipes 5. In this way, high-temperature steam is sprayed onto several heat exchange pipes 5 through several steam nozzles 12 to ensure the heat exchange effect.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the tank body 1 is provided with several support members 13, and several heat exchange tubes 5 are arranged on several support members 13. When the heat exchange tubes 5 are inserted into the tank body 1, the several support members 13 support the heat exchange tubes 5 from bottom to top, so that the heat exchange tubes 5 are like drawers, which are easy to pull out and insert.

[0041] In summary, during use, cryogenic media such as liquid nitrogen are introduced through the inlet of heat exchange tube 5 and heated by the heating components, raising the temperature of the liquid in heat exchange chamber 2 to exchange heat with the cryogenic media in heat exchange tube 5. The gas after heat exchange is discharged from the outlet of heat exchange tube 5. Since heat exchange tube 5 is mounted on mounting plate 4, and mounting plate 4 is fixed to the mounting port by fixing components, when heat exchange tube 5 malfunctions, the fixing can be released, and the mounting plate 4 can be controlled to pull the heat exchange tube 5 and the entire assembly out of tank 1 for easy maintenance.

[0042] This application features a horizontal structure that allows for the simultaneous insertion of integrated ports, enabling the simultaneous exchange of heat through multiple heat exchange tube bundles (i.e., various cryogenic media). It also boasts a low overall height and strong resistance to wind loads.

[0043] This application is a tube sheet structure, which is suitable for high flow rate conditions and has a low overall pressure drop;

[0044] This application features an upward-facing dedicated steam jet head, a turbulence strip design inside the heat exchange tube, and high overall heat exchange efficiency.

[0045] The heat exchange tubes in this application can be pulled out as a whole, making disassembly convenient and maintenance safe.

[0046] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. It is understood that other improvements and variations that can be directly derived or conceived by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and concept of the present invention should be considered to be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
