Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of chemical industry circulation equipment, specifically relating to a pre-filter device for an industrial plate heat exchanger. Background Technology
[0002] In the chemical production field, pre-filtration devices are essential for cooling high-temperature solutions and circulating water. Due to production process requirements, industrial plate heat exchangers often experience poor heat exchange efficiency when using open-type cooling towers in northern regions. This is compounded by the presence of particulate impurities between the plates, particularly at the inlet, and the presence of granular impurities within the plates. Furthermore, disassembling and cleaning plate heat exchangers is time-consuming, resulting in significant plate damage during the cleaning and reassembly process. This leads to frequent maintenance, difficult cleaning operations, and a substantial impact on product quality, as well as a poor working environment. Therefore, improving product quality, reducing maintenance frequency, and achieving high-efficiency production are crucial needs for the chemical industry. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model provides a pre-filter device for industrial plate heat exchangers, which aims to solve the problems existing in the rapid cooling process of high-temperature solutions and water circulation.
[0004] Therefore, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A pre-filter device for an industrial plate heat exchanger, characterized in that: a plate heat exchanger connecting pipe, inlet and outlet water pipes, a filter cylinder, a stainless steel filter screen, a flange cover, a flange, a valve, and fasteners.
[0005] The filter cartridge includes an inlet pipe at one end and an outlet pipe at the other end. The diameter of the inlet and outlet pipes is 1 / 2 to 1 / 3 times the diameter of the filter cartridge. The filter cartridge and the inlet and outlet pipes form a T-shape, and flanges are connected to both ends of the pipes. A valve is installed at the bottom of the filter cartridge to drain water through pressure relief.
[0006] The upper end of the filter cylinder is formed by welding a flange to create a sealing body with the flange cover. The flange cover and the filter cylinder are connected and disassembled using a quick-release connection. A 45° angle stainless steel filter screen is placed in the middle of the filter cylinder to form the inlet and outlet slopes, ensuring the filtration effect.
[0007] The flanges at both ends of the inlet and outlet water pipes are connected to the two ends of the valves. When the valves are closed, it is convenient to drain the filter cartridge or clean the stainless steel filter screen. The water flow rate is controlled by adjusting the valve opening degree to ensure the required temperature for production.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by optimizing the filtration device, it improves the heat exchange effect of industrial plate heat exchangers, reduces the frequency of disassembly and cleaning, reduces damage to plate heat exchanger spare parts, extends service life, and reduces cleaning difficulty.
