[0002] Marine heat exchangers are the core equipment in a ship's thermal management system. They are mainly used to achieve heat exchange between different media and ensure the efficient operation of the power plant and auxiliary systems. Currently, there are shell-and-tube, plate, or coaxial heat exchangers. They are mainly devices that transfer part of the heat of hot fluids to cold fluids. They are also called heat exchangers. When ships are operating at sea, they need to ensure the long-term efficient operation of their internal machinery, which requires heat dissipation equipment such as radiators for cooling.

[0003] Since most existing ship heat exchange systems require a large amount of cooling water for heat exchange and cooling, and the coolant takes a long time to settle, the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange devices is low during long-term use, which has certain adverse effects on actual use. Therefore, technical improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0025] refer to Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment describes a marine heat exchanger with recyclable cooling water, comprising a heat exchanger body 1, with support plates symmetrically fixed to the outer side of the heat exchanger body 1. A water tank 6 and a water pump 7 are respectively arranged between the support plates 2. An inlet 3 and an outlet 4 are respectively provided on the outer side of the heat exchanger body 1. The input end of the water pump 7 is connected to the water tank 6 through a water pipe, and the output end of the water pump 7 is connected to the inlet 3 of the heat exchanger body 1 through a water pipe. A cooling mechanism 5 is arranged between the support plates 2. The water pump 7 is connected to the water tank 6 through its input end, so that its output end continuously delivers cooling water to the inlet 3 of the heat exchanger body 1. After the cooling water carries away the heat inside the heat exchanger body 1, it is discharged through the outlet 4 to the cooling mechanism 5 for cooling. The cooling mechanism 5 dissipates heat during the cooling water delivery process. At the same time, the cooled water is recovered into the water tank 6 and can be recycled for reuse, ensuring the effectiveness of the cooling water. The heat exchanger body 1 is a known prior art product, and its internal structure has been disclosed, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0026] The cooling mechanism 5 includes an aluminum tube 501, the ends of which are fixed to the inner side of the support plate 2. A copper tube 505 is fixed to the inner side of the aluminum tube 501, and a heat dissipation groove 506 is formed on the outer side of the copper tube 505. A connecting pipe 502 is fixed to the end of the copper tube 505. One end of the connecting pipe 502 of the copper tube 505 is connected to the liquid outlet 4 of the heat exchanger body 1, and the other end of the connecting pipe 502 of the copper tube 505 is connected to the water tank 6. One end of the aluminum tube 501 has a mounting groove 503, and a cooling fan 504 is fixed in the mounting groove 503. The specific model of the cooling fan 504 is 22060B3H, with a voltage of 380V, a current of 0.16A, and a power of [missing information]. A 40W circular axial fan with protective mechanisms 10 at the ends of aluminum tubes 501. When the coolant carrying heat in the heat exchanger body 1 is transported through the pipeline to the copper tubes 505 inside the aluminum tubes 501, the heat is concentrated on the copper tubes 505 through heat conduction. Then, the cooling fan 504 blows air through one end of the aluminum tubes 501. The cooling airflow flows quickly through the pipeline and can carry away the heat on the copper tubes 505. The spiral copper tubes 505 can not only extend the heat conduction and heat dissipation time, but also the heat dissipation grooves 506 added to the copper tubes 505 can expand the heat dissipation area and improve the heat dissipation effect of the coolant, thereby ensuring the use of the coolant.

[0027] The protective mechanism 10 includes a mounting ring 101, which is rotatably connected to the opening of the aluminum tube 501. A ventilation mesh 102 is fixed inside the mounting ring 101, and an iron block 103 is fixed to the outside of the mounting ring 101. A magnet 104 is fixed to the outside of the aluminum tube 501. The iron block 103 and the magnet 104 are movably connected. By rotatably installing the mounting ring 101 with the ventilation mesh 102 at the opening of the aluminum tube 501, and by attracting and fixing the mounting ring 101 to the magnet 104 on the aluminum tube 501 through the external iron block 103, the ventilation mesh 102 can play a protective role at the openings of both ends of the aluminum tube 501, preventing rats on the ship from crawling into the aluminum tube 501 and damaging the cooling fan 504.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 A pull ring 11 is welded to the outside of the iron block 103. The pull ring 11 is located in the middle of the iron block 103. Through the pull ring 11 on the iron block 103, the installation ring 101 can be quickly opened from the opening of the aluminum tube 501, which facilitates maintenance operations on the internal components of the aluminum tube 501.

[0029] refer to Figure 3 The inner side of the support plate 2 is provided with a through hole 16. One end of the aluminum tube 501 is fixed in the through hole 16. The aluminum tube 501 can be conveniently installed on the support plate 2 through the through hole 16 in the support plate 2.

[0030] refer to Figure 3The mounting slot 503 has a positioning slot 15 at equal angles on its inner side. The cooling fan 504 is fixed in the positioning slot 15. The positioning slot 15 at the mounting slot 503 can be used to conveniently position and install the cooling fan 504.

[0031] refer to Figure 4 The copper tube 505 is spiral in shape. One end of the connecting tube 502 passes through the wall of the aluminum tube 501 and connects to the end of the copper tube 505. By using the spiral copper tube 505, the heat dissipation and transportation distance of the coolant can be extended, ensuring the cooling of the coolant.

[0032] refer to Figure 1 The water tank 6 is equipped with a water inlet 9 and a water level sensor 8 on its outer side. The sensing end of the water level sensor 8 extends into the water tank 6. Since the water in the water tank 6 will also be lost to a certain extent during use, the water level sensor 8 and the water inlet 9 can be connected to an external pipeline. When the water level in the water tank 6 reaches the predetermined critical point, timely replenishment can be carried out. The water inlet 9 is also equipped with a filter structure, which can filter out impurities in the coolant and prevent clogging of the pipeline.

[0033] refer to Figure 1 A connecting plate 12 is welded between the support plates 2. The water tank 6 and the water pump 7 are both fixed to the upper end of the connecting plate 12. The connecting plate 12 can easily reinforce the support plates 2 and also facilitate the installation of the water tank 6 and the water pump 7. In addition, a control module is provided on one of the support plates 2 on the outside of the heat exchanger body 1 to facilitate the control of the cooling fan 504, the water pump 7, the water level sensor 8, and the external supply pump.

[0034] refer to Figure 1 A hook 13 is welded to the outside of one of the support plates 2 at the lower end of the heat exchanger body 1. A cleaning brush 14 is attached to the outside of the hook 13. The cleaning brush 14 at the hook 13 allows staff to easily clean and unclog the ventilation net 102 of the protective mechanism 10 on a daily basis.

[0035] Operating principle and advantages: During operation, the water pump 7 is connected to the water tank 6 through the input end, and its output end is continuously supplied to the liquid inlet 3 of the heat exchanger body 1. The cooling water carries away the heat inside the heat exchanger body 1 and is discharged through the liquid outlet 4. After entering the copper tube 505 inside the aluminum tube 501, the heat is concentrated on the copper tube 505 through heat conduction. Then, the cooling fan 504 blows air through one end of the aluminum tube 501. The cooling airflow flows quickly through the pipe and can carry away the heat on the copper tube 505. The spiral copper tube 505 can not only extend the heat conduction and heat dissipation time, but also the heat dissipation groove 506 added to the copper tube 505 can expand the heat dissipation area and further improve the heat dissipation effect of the coolant.

[0036] During use, by rotating and installing the mounting ring 101 with ventilation mesh 102 at the opening of the aluminum tube 501, and by the external iron block 103 and the magnet 104 on the aluminum tube 501, the ventilation mesh 102 can play a protective role at the openings at both ends of the aluminum tube 501, preventing rats on the ship from crawling into the aluminum tube 501 and damaging the cooling fan 504.
