AI Technical Summary
The existing nitrogen heaters have poor heat transfer oil heating effect in the middle of the tank, resulting in uneven nitrogen heating. In particular, the temperature at the heaters at both ends of the tank is too high, making it difficult to effectively control the nitrogen heating temperature.
A branch pipe and rotating shaft structure was designed. The nitrogen gas flow is dispersed by the branch pipe and the rotating plate on the rotating shaft driven by the motor is used to stir the heat transfer oil, thereby improving the uniformity of the heat transfer oil and thus improving the heating uniformity of the nitrogen. The nitrogen is discharged through the middle outlet pipe to reduce the impact of high temperature at the end.
This improved the uniformity of nitrogen heating and the efficiency of heat transfer, reduced the impact of high temperature at the tank end on nitrogen heating, and achieved more effective temperature control.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nitrogen heater technology, specifically to a nitrogen heater assembly. Background Technology
[0002] Nitrogen heaters are mainly used to heat nitrogen from its initial temperature to the required air temperature, up to 850℃. They have been widely used in many scientific research and production laboratories in aerospace, weaponry, chemical industry, and universities. They are particularly suitable for automatic temperature control, high flow rate, high temperature combined systems and accessory testing.
[0003] In the "Nitrogen Heater" with authorization announcement number "CN209782980U", an electric heater heats the heat transfer oil, which then conducts heat through the nitrogen pipe to heat the nitrogen. When nitrogen is introduced into the nitrogen pipe, it passes through three sets of auxiliary pipes for guidance and diversion, resulting in rapid and uniform heating, while also increasing the gas flow rate. The heat transfer oil wrapping around the nitrogen pipe also provides insulation. However, during use, the heaters are located at both ends of the tank. When heating the heat transfer oil, the oil in the middle of the tank experiences poor temperature rise. Furthermore, the pipes used to transport nitrogen are mostly located in the middle of the tank, where heat absorption is strong, leading to poor synchronous heating of the heat transfer oil within the tank, thus affecting the heating of the nitrogen. Additionally, with heaters installed at both ends of the tank, the heating oil at the ends has a higher temperature and faster temperature rise, making it difficult to effectively control the nitrogen heating temperature when it exits the tank.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0020] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, in this embodiment, the nitrogen heater assembly includes a tank 1, the interior of which is filled with heat-conducting oil. A flange 2 is bolted to the end of the tank 1, and an inlet pipe 3 is welded to the center of the flange 2. At least three branch pipes 4 are installed equidistantly inside the tank 1. The size of each branch pipe 4 is smaller than that of the inlet pipe 3. One end of each branch pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the end of the inlet pipe 3, and the branch pipe 4 and the inlet pipe 3 are sealed together and connected. The branch pipe 4 is located away from the inlet pipe 3. One end is located in the middle of the tank body 1. Motors 5 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the outer side of the tank body 1. The output ends of the two motors 5 rotate in opposite directions. A rotating shaft 6 is fixedly installed at the output end of each motor 5. The rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the tank body 1 via a mechanical seal. Rotating plates 7 are fixedly installed in a ring array around the central axis of the rotating shaft 6 on the outer side of the rotating shaft 6. Electric heaters 16 are installed inside both ends of the tank body 1. A connecting pipe 8 is fixedly installed between the ends of several branch pipes 4 furthest from the inlet pipe 3. The middle of the connecting pipe 8... A vent pipe 9 is fixedly installed in the middle of the tank body 1. An outlet pipe 10 is also fixedly installed in the middle of the tank body 1. The vent pipe 9 and outlet pipe 10 are connected and sealed together. The heat-conducting oil inside the tank body 1 is heated by an electric heater 16. Nitrogen gas is introduced through the inlet pipe 3 and dispersed into the branch pipe 4. The continuous delivery of nitrogen gas through the smaller branch pipe 4 improves the heat transfer efficiency of the nitrogen gas inside the branch pipe 4 and enhances the heating effect. The nitrogen gas inside the rear branch pipe 4 will be concentrated and transported to the connecting pipe 8 and then into the outlet pipe 9, and then discharged from the outlet pipe 10. During the nitrogen heating process, the motor 5 is powered on and driven to rotate the shaft 6. The rotating plate 7 on the shaft 6 can stir the heat transfer oil inside the tank 1, which can improve the overall uniformity of the heat transfer oil inside the tank 1 and improve the uniformity of nitrogen heating. At the same time, the nitrogen gas is discharged from the outlet pipe 10 in the middle of the tank 1, which can reduce the impact of the high temperature at the electric heater 16 at the end of the tank 1 on the nitrogen heating.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a connecting pipe 11 is integrally provided on the outlet pipe 10, and a temperature detection probe 12 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting pipe 11 through a flange. The temperature detection probe 12 is located inside the outlet pipe 10.
[0022] The temperature of the nitrogen gas discharged from the outlet pipe 10 can be detected by the temperature detection probe 12.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, mounting plates 13 are installed at both ends of the tank body 1, and the branch pipe 4 is fixedly installed between the two mounting plates 13. Fixing blocks are symmetrically welded to the inner walls of both ends of the tank body 1, and the two ends of the mounting plates 13 are fixedly connected to the fixing blocks by bolts.
[0024] The branch pipe 4 can be supported by installing the branch pipe 4 on the mounting plate 13 and fixing the mounting plate 13 to the tank body 1.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an oil inlet pipe 14 is welded to the top of the tank body 1, and an oil outlet pipe 15 is welded to the bottom of the tank body 1. Both the oil inlet pipe 14 and the oil outlet pipe 15 are fixedly connected to the cover through flanges.
[0026] Heat transfer oil can be added through the oil inlet pipe 14 and discharged through the oil outlet pipe 15, thus realizing the replacement of heat transfer oil.
[0027] This utility model provides a nitrogen heater assembly, the specific working principle of which is as follows:
[0028] When the device is in use, the heat transfer oil inside the tank 1 is heated by the electric heater 16. Nitrogen gas is introduced through the inlet pipe 3 and dispersed into the branch pipe 4. The nitrogen gas is continuously delivered through the smaller branch pipe 4, which can improve the heat transfer efficiency of the nitrogen gas inside the branch pipe 4 and improve the heating effect of the nitrogen gas. Then the nitrogen gas inside the branch pipe 4 is concentrated and delivered to the connecting pipe 8 and then into the outlet pipe 9, and finally discharged from the outlet pipe 10. During the nitrogen heating process, the motor 5 is powered on and drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate. The rotating plate 7 on the rotating shaft 6 can stir the heat transfer oil inside the tank 1, which can improve the overall uniformity of the heat transfer oil inside the tank 1 and improve the uniformity of nitrogen heating. At the same time, the nitrogen gas is discharged from the outlet pipe 10 in the middle of the tank 1, which can reduce the impact of the high temperature at the electric heater 16 at the end of the tank 1 on the nitrogen heating.
