[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the novel marine waste heat economizer of this utility model includes an outer cylinder 2, with an upper smoke box 5 and a lower smoke box 9 connected to the upper and lower parts of the outer cylinder 2, respectively. The upper smoke box 5 and the lower smoke box 9 are respectively provided with a smoke outlet 1 and a smoke inlet 10. A heat exchange tube 16 is provided inside the outer cylinder 2, and an upper header 3 and a lower header 8 corresponding to the heat exchange tube 16 are provided outside the outer cylinder 2. Fins 26 are evenly arranged on the outside of the heat exchange tube 16, and the heat exchange tube 16 adopts a spiral fin coil structure, which greatly increases the heat exchange area and heat exchange efficiency. An inner cylinder 17 is also provided inside the outer cylinder 2, and the inner cylinder 17 has... A coil support frame 25 adapted to the heat exchange tube 16 is provided, and the heat exchange tube 16 is spirally wound on the inner cylinder 17 through the coil support frame 25. A cylinder support frame 19 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 2 is provided at the bottom of the inner cylinder 17. A bypass flue 18 is provided on the inner cylinder 17, and the space between the outer wall of the inner cylinder 17 and the inner wall of the outer cylinder 2 forms the main flue. A baffle 20 is provided on the upper part of the outer cylinder 2, and a flue gas regulating component is provided on the baffle 20. The middle part of the inner cylinder 17 is hollow and together with the bypass flue 18 forms a bypass exhaust channel. When heat exchange is not required, the flue gas is controlled to be discharged from the bypass exhaust channel by the flue gas regulating component. To prevent dry burning, the flue gas regulating assembly includes a bypass flue 21 and a main flue 22 mounted on the partition 20. The bypass flue 21 and main flue 22 are respectively connected to the bypass flue 18 and the main flue. A bypass baffle plate and a main baffle plate 24 are rotatably connected to the bypass flue 21 and main flue 22, respectively. The opening and closing of the bypass baffle plate and the main baffle plate 24 controls whether the flue gas is exhausted through heat exchange. Both the bypass baffle plate and the main baffle plate 24 are fixedly connected to the same regulating shaft 6 via a fixing block 23. The two ends of the regulating shaft 6 pass through the outer cylinder 2 and are rotatably connected to it via a shaft support frame 7. One end of shaft 6 is connected to a drive assembly, which synchronously controls the opening and closing of the bypass smoke baffle and the main smoke baffle 24 through an adjusting shaft 6; the bypass smoke baffle and the main smoke baffle 24 are staggered at 90°, and when the adjusting shaft 6 is rotated, one of them closes and the other automatically opens; the drive assembly includes a connecting block 11 fixedly connected to the shaft, a connecting rod 12 fixedly connected to the connecting block 11, a hinge member 13 hinged to the connecting rod 12, a cylinder 14 fixedly connected to the hinge member 13, a hinge seat 15 hinged to the bottom of the cylinder 14, and the hinge seat 15 fixedly connected to the outer cylinder 2; the outer cylinder 2 is provided with an ear plate 4.

[0029] Working process or working principle:

[0030] When the flue gas enters the outer cylinder 2 through the inlet 10, if heat exchange is required, the cylinder 14 controls the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, thereby controlling the bypass baffle to close and the main baffle 24 to open. The flue gas rises from the space between the outer cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 17 and passes through the heat exchange tube 16 fixed on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 17 for heat exchange before being discharged through the main flue 22. When heat exchange is not required, the cylinder 14 controls the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, thereby controlling the bypass baffle to open and the main baffle 24 to close. The flue gas rises from the middle of the inner cylinder 17 and is discharged through the bypass flue 18.

[0031] The heat exchange tubes of this invention, consisting of 16 sets, adopt a spiral finned coil structure, which has significant advantages over traditional economizers, such as higher heat exchange efficiency and smaller size.

[0032] The descriptions of the orientation and relative positional relationships of the structure in this utility model, such as descriptions of front, back, left, right, up, and down, do not constitute a limitation on this utility model, but are merely for the convenience of description.
