Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchanger technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency plate-fin heat exchanger. Background Technology

[0002] Finned tube heat exchangers, also known as tube-fin heat exchangers, are characterized by numerous fins on the outer or inner surface of the heat exchanger tubes. The connection between the fins and the tube surface must be tight and seamless; otherwise, the contact thermal resistance at the connection point will be high, affecting heat transfer efficiency. Common connection methods include heat jacketing, embedding, tension winding, and welding. In addition, finned tubes can also be manufactured using methods such as integral rolling, integral casting, or machining. For example, patent (CN113739604B) describes a high-efficiency, detachable, wide-channel plate heat exchanger. Corrugated fins are arranged between the first and second plates of the heat exchange plate to facilitate faster heat conduction and thus accelerate heat exchange. However, its structure is relatively complex and has the disadvantage of being difficult to disassemble and assemble. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a high-efficiency plate-fin heat exchanger.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] Design a high-efficiency plate-fin heat exchanger, including a sleeve fitted on the outer wall of a main heat exchange tube. A connecting plate is welded to the outer wall of the main heat exchange tube, and bolt holes are formed on the outer wall of the connecting plate. Multiple secondary heat exchange tubes are welded to the outer wall of the sleeve. A screw is welded to one side of each secondary heat exchange tube, and the screw passes through the bolt holes and is fastened by nuts located on both sides of the connecting plate. A heat-conducting ring is fitted on the outer wall of each secondary heat exchange tube, and multiple heat dissipation fins are welded to the outer wall of the heat-conducting ring. A connecting pipe is connected to the other side of each secondary heat exchange tube, and the connecting pipe is connected to an external secondary heat exchange device.

[0006] Preferably, the heat-conducting ring is a heat-conducting metal ring, and a slot is provided on the heat-conducting ring, through which the secondary heat exchange tube passes.

[0007] Preferably, the heat-conducting ring has multiple heat exchange grooves axially formed on it.

[0008] Preferably, the heat dissipation fins are annular heat dissipation fins, and the annular inner cavity of the heat dissipation fins is filled with heat dissipation rubber rings.

[0009] Preferably, the sleeve is a double-layered hollow sleeve, and an injection tube is radially inserted into the outer wall of the sleeve, with a sealing plug inserted into the outer opening of the injection tube.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the sleeve has multiple axial grooves and two radial grooves, which are located at both ends of the axial grooves, and one of the radial grooves is connected to the glue injection tube.

[0011] The present invention proposes a high-efficiency plate-fin heat exchanger, which has the following advantages: it is easy to disassemble and assemble. The disassembly and assembly process only requires the sleeve to be placed on the main heat exchange tube and then fixed by screws and nuts. After installation, thermally conductive adhesive can be injected into the sleeve through the adhesive injection tube so that the connection surface between the main heat exchange tube and the sleeve can be covered with thermally conductive adhesive, which effectively improves the heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, multiple secondary heat exchange tubes are set, and the secondary heat exchange tubes are connected to external equipment through connecting pipes, so that multiple devices can exchange heat with the main heat exchange tube at the same time.
