Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of municipal floating coil heat exchangers, specifically a floating coil heat exchanger that is easy to maintain. Background Technology
[0002] A floating coil heat exchanger is an indirect heat exchanger. The heat transfer part uses copper tubes, which are made into a spiral shape and float inside the shell, hence the name floating coil. The heat transfer tubes in this heat exchanger float up and down and vibrate at high frequency when water flows through them, causing disturbance to the heated water, thus enhancing the heat transfer effect and automatically descaling, reducing scale. Floating coil heat exchangers have become a typical piece of equipment in domestic hot water centralized heating systems in recent years.
[0003] An investigation revealed a utility model patent (publication number: CN208653253U) disclosing a maintenance-friendly floating coil heat exchanger. The patent includes a tank with a cold water inlet at the bottom and a hot water outlet at the top. A condenser tube and a steam tube are vertically arranged inside the tank. The top of the condenser tube penetrates the top of the tank and extends to the outside. The two ends of the steam tube penetrate the top and bottom of the tank, respectively, and extend to the outside. Multiple floating coils are arranged inside the tank. An air inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the top of each floating coil. Multiple air outlet pipes, which mate with the air inlet pipes, are fixedly installed on the steam tubes. A liquid outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of each floating coil. This utility model features a detachable connection between the floating coils, condenser tubes, and steam tubes, facilitating disassembly, replacement, or repair when the floating coils are damaged.
[0004] Although the aforementioned patent allows for detachable connection between the floating coils and the condenser and steam pipes through the arrangement of multiple floating coils, thus enabling partial disassembly and replacement of the floating coils and facilitating subsequent maintenance, the floating coils are arranged in an array inside the tank. When a local floating coil is damaged, it is impossible to disassemble and maintain it specifically. Instead, it can only be disassembled and reassembled sequentially from top to bottom after entering through the top manhole, thereby reducing the convenience of disassembly and maintenance of the floating coils.
[0005] Therefore, this invention provides a floating coil heat exchanger that is easy to maintain, in order to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] like Figure 1-6As shown, this utility model provides a floating coil heat exchanger that is easy to maintain, including a tank body 1, with an inspection port 11 on one side of the tank body 1, and an inspection window 13 on the front of the inspection port 11; a condenser tube 2 and a steam tube 3, both of which are inserted into the interior of the tank body 1, with the bottom of the condenser tube 2 extending to the bottom of the tank body 1; and a spiral tube bundle 4, which is connected between the condenser tube 2 and the steam tube 3, with each spiral tube bundle 4 corresponding to the rear side of each inspection window 13. Through the arrangement of the spiral tube bundle 4 and the corresponding inspection window 13, when a local spiral tube bundle 4 is damaged, the damaged spiral tube bundle 4 can be disassembled and maintained by opening the corresponding inspection window 13, thereby improving the convenience and accuracy of disassembling and assembling the spiral tube bundle 4, without the need to disassemble and assemble the remaining spiral tube bundles 4.
[0019] Furthermore, a support shaft 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the inspection port 11, and an inspection window 13 is rotatably connected to the other end of the support shaft 12. A positioning screw 14 is provided on the front side of the inspection port 11 away from the support shaft 12. A U-shaped groove is provided on the inspection window 13 corresponding to the positioning screw 14. A nut is connected to the external thread of the positioning screw 14, and the nut abuts against the outer wall of the inspection window 13. When the inspection window 13 is closed, the positioning screw 14 is engaged between the U-shaped grooves. By tightening the nut on the outside of the positioning screw 14, the inspection window 13 is compressed, thus closing the inspection window 13. At the same time, the sealing gasket between the inspection port 11 and the inspection window 13 ensures the airtightness of the closed inspection window 13.
[0020] Furthermore, both ends of the spiral tube bundle 4 are fixedly connected to a first flange 41, and the upper half of the outer wall of the first flange 41 is integrally formed with a first support ring 42. The higher end of the spiral tube bundle 4 is connected to the steam pipe 3, and the other end of the spiral tube bundle 4 is connected to the condenser pipe 2. The outer walls of the condenser pipe 2 and the steam pipe 3 are integrally formed with a connecting pipe 5, and the other end of the connecting pipe 5 is fixedly connected to a second flange 51. The lower half of the outer wall of the second flange 51 is integrally formed with a second support ring 52. The outer diameter of the second flange 51 is equal to the outer diameter of the first flange 41, and a fastening bolt passes through the circumference between the first flange 41 and the second flange 51. Through the setting of the first support ring 42 and the second support ring 52, when the first flange 41 and the second flange 51 are connected to each other, they can be auxiliaryly supported and limited by the first support ring 42 and the second support ring 52, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the connection between the first flange 41 and the second flange 51.
[0021] Furthermore, a support rod 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank body 1. Several guide holes are opened in the center of the support rod 6, and a support frame 61 is passed through the interior of each guide hole. The support frame 61 is used for the abutment support of the spiral tube bundle 4. A threaded hole is opened on one side of the guide hole of the support rod 6, and a screw is connected inside the threaded hole to abut against the outer wall of the support frame 61. By adjusting the support frame 61 up and down, it can be ensured that the support frame 61 provides stable support for the bottom of the spiral tube bundle 4, thereby cooperating with the stable docking of the first flanges 41 at both ends of the spiral tube bundle 4 to achieve three-point horizontal support, ensuring the stability of the docking state of the spiral tube bundle 4, and thus improving the convenience of installation of the spiral tube bundle 4.
[0022] Working principle: When a local spiral tube bundle 4 is damaged, the damaged spiral tube bundle 4 can be disassembled by opening the corresponding inspection window 13. The disassembled spiral tube bundle 4 can be taken out directly through the corresponding inspection port 11 for further installation and fixing of the new spiral tube bundle 4. When the spiral tube bundle 4 is installed, the first flange 41 and the second flange 51 correspond to each other, and the support frame 61 provides horizontal support for the spiral tube bundle 4, so that the spiral tube bundle 4 is horizontally and stably connected. The spiral tube bundle 4 can be stably connected without additional manual support, and can be connected and fixed with bolts.
[0023] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
