Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchanger technology, specifically a safe and energy-saving heat exchanger for petroleum refining and chemical production. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial link in the energy industry chain, oil refining plays a fundamental supporting role in global economic development. It transforms crude oil into various products such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and lubricating oil through a series of complex processes, which are widely used in transportation, industrial production, and residential life. In the energy consumption structure of the entire oil refining enterprise, the energy consumed by the heat exchange process accounts for a considerable proportion, making heat exchangers an indispensable and important piece of equipment in oil refining production.

[0003] The prior art discloses a heat exchanger for petroleum refining production, with announcement number CN211823951U. This heat exchanger is equipped with a first temperature sensor, a first solenoid valve, a second temperature sensor, and a second solenoid valve. A heat medium exchanges heat with water entering the heat exchange chamber through an inlet pipe via an upper and lower pipe. During the heat exchange process, the first temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the heat medium outlet pipe, and the second temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the water outlet pipe. When the temperature of the water outlet pipe equals the temperature of the heat medium outlet pipe, the water in the heat exchange chamber has reached its maximum heat absorption limit. The second solenoid valve then opens to drain the water, allowing fresh water to re-enter for heat exchange. When the temperature of the heat medium outlet pipe meets the requirements for heat medium discharge, the first solenoid valve opens to discharge the heat medium. This device, utilizing the cooperation of the first and second temperature sensors, can maximize the heat absorption capacity of water, resulting in a high utilization rate.

[0004] The aforementioned safe and energy-saving heat exchanger for petroleum refining production exchanges heat with water entering the heat exchange chamber through the inlet pipe via the upstream and downstream pipes. During the heat exchange process, the first temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the heat medium outlet pipe. However, the heat exchanger does not have an internal heat carrier circulation system, which cannot compensate for the volume expansion or contraction of the heat carrier due to temperature changes, and cannot ensure stable system pressure. As a result, its performance during use is poor and needs to be improved. Utility Model Content
