Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of condenser technology, specifically to an atmospheric condenser that can protect the condenser tubes. Background Technology

[0002] An atmospheric condenser is a heat exchanger that cools steam to a temperature suitable for condensation under atmospheric pressure. It works by exchanging heat between hot and cold media, allowing excess heat from the high-temperature steam to be transferred to the lower-temperature cooling water through condenser tubes, thus achieving steam condensation.

[0003] The condenser tubes need to withstand high-temperature steam for a long time, which makes them prone to embrittlement and deformation due to the high-temperature steam. In addition, the vibration during equipment operation can easily lead to breakage and damage of the condenser tubes. Replacing the entire equipment would be a waste of resources. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an atmospheric condenser that can protect the condenser tubes, offering the advantage of convenient condenser tube maintenance and solving the aforementioned problems.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the aforementioned goal of convenient maintenance of the condenser tube, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an atmospheric condenser that can protect the condenser tube, including a bracket, a shell fixedly installed on the top of the bracket, a medium A inlet fixedly installed on the top of one end of the shell, a medium A outlet fixedly installed on the bottom of one end of the shell, a medium B inlet fixedly installed on the left side of the shell, a medium B outlet fixedly installed on the right side of the shell, partitions fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the shell, a condenser tube body inserted between the two partitions, staggered baffles fitted on the outer side of the condenser tube body, and a maintenance and replacement component provided at the junction of the partition and the condenser tube body.

[0008] Preferably, the maintenance and replacement component includes a mounting groove inside the partition, a spring is provided inside the mounting groove, a T-shaped clip is fixedly installed at one end of the spring, and an annular arc groove corresponding to the T-shaped clip is provided on the outer wall of the condenser tube body.

[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the condenser tube is provided with an inner ring groove, and a crossbar is movably inserted inside the inner ring groove. The two ends of the crossbar extend into the inner ring groove, and the crossbar rotates and connects within the inner ring groove.

[0010] Preferably, the end of the T-shaped clip inserted into the annular groove is hemispherical, and the condenser tube body is detachably snapped to the partition plate through the T-shaped clip and the annular groove.

[0011] Preferably, maintenance and replacement components are provided inside the partition and on both sides of each condenser tube.

[0012] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an atmospheric condenser that can protect the condenser tube, and has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This atmospheric condenser with protective condenser tubes allows the end of the condenser tube to be exposed by opening the medium B inlet and outlet ports at both ends. A tool is then attached to a crossbar, which pulls the damaged condenser tube out. The annular groove compresses the T-shaped clamp, causing it to retract into the mounting groove. This unlocks the T-shaped clamp and allows the damaged condenser tube to be removed. Conversely, inserting a new condenser tube into the through-hole of the partition causes a spring to push the T-shaped clamp into the corresponding annular groove, ensuring a locking mechanism and allowing the installation of the new condenser tube.

[0015] 2. This atmospheric condenser that protects the condenser tubes uses multiple staggered baffles installed on the outside of the condenser tubes. Medium A flows through the gaps on the outside of the condenser tubes and absorbs heat. The baffles ensure that the condenser tubes do not shake or vibrate with the rest of the equipment, and also increase the contact time between medium A and the condenser tubes, thereby protecting the condenser tubes and extending their service life.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 An atmospheric condenser with a protective condenser tube includes a support 1, a housing 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the support 1, a medium A inlet 3 fixedly mounted on one end of the housing 2, through which the cold source medium A enters the external space of the condenser tube; a medium A outlet 4 fixedly mounted on the bottom of one end of the housing 2, through which the cold source medium A absorbs heat and is discharged; a medium B inlet 5 fixedly mounted on the left side of the housing 2, through which the heat source medium B enters the interior of the condenser tube; and a medium B outlet 6 fixedly mounted on the right side of the housing 2, through which the heat source medium B absorbs heat and is discharged.

[0024] Please see Figure 3-4 Both sides of the inner wall of the outer shell 2 are fixedly installed with partitions 7, and condenser tubes 8 are inserted between the two partitions 7. The ends of the partitions 7 and the condenser tubes 8 are flush, and the condenser tubes 8 and the partitions 7 are seamlessly connected. The outer side of the condenser tubes 8 is fitted with staggered baffles 9. A maintenance and replacement component is provided at the junction of the partitions 7 and the condenser tubes 8. Maintenance and replacement components are provided inside the partitions 7 and on both sides of each condenser tube 8 for disassembling and installing broken condenser tubes 8.

[0025] Please see Figure 4-5 The maintenance and replacement components include a mounting groove 10 inside the partition 7, a spring 11 inside the mounting groove 10, and a T-shaped clip 12 fixedly mounted at one end of the spring 11. An annular groove 13 corresponding to the T-shaped clip 12 is formed on the outer wall of the condenser tube body 8. The end of the T-shaped clip 12 inserted into the annular groove 13 is hemispherical. The condenser tube body 8 is detachably engaged with the partition 7 via the T-shaped clip 12 and the annular groove 13. The spring 11 pushes the T-shaped clip 12 into the annular groove 13, locking the condenser tube body 8 and preventing it from falling off.

[0026] Please see Figure 4-5 The inner wall of the condenser tube body 8 is provided with an inner ring groove 14. A crossbar 15 is movably inserted inside the inner ring groove 14. The two ends of the crossbar 15 extend into the inner ring groove 14. The crossbar 15 rotates and connects in the inner ring groove 14. It can be hooked with the crossbar 15 by means of a tool, so as to facilitate the pulling out of the broken condenser tube body 8 for replacement, thereby saving resources.

[0027] Working principle: In use, by opening the medium B inlet 5 and medium B outlet 6 at both ends, the end of the condenser tube body 8 can be exposed; by attaching a tool to the crossbar 15, the damaged condenser tube body 8 can be pulled outward through the crossbar 15, the annular groove 13 compresses the T-shaped clamp 12, the T-shaped clamp 12 retracts into the mounting groove 10, and then the T-shaped clamp 12 and the annular groove 13 unlock each other, and then the damaged condenser tube body 8 can be removed;

[0028] Conversely, when the new condenser tube 8 is inserted into the through hole of the partition plate 7, the spring 11 will push the T-shaped clip 12 into the corresponding annular groove 13, ensuring the locking of the two, thereby achieving the purpose of installing the new condenser tube 8.

[0029] By interlacing multiple staggered baffles 9 on the outside of the condenser tube body 8, the medium A flows in the gaps on the outside of the condenser tube body 8 and absorbs heat. The baffles 9 not only ensure that the condenser tube body 8 does not shake, but also ensure that the condenser tube body 8 does not vibrate with the whole equipment. They also increase the contact time between the medium A and the condenser tube body 8, thereby protecting the condenser tube body 8 and improving its service life.

[0030] 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.
