Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchanger backflushing technology, specifically, to a heat exchanger backflushing device. Background Technology

[0002] A heat exchanger is a device that facilitates heat exchange and is widely used in numerous industries such as chemical, power, and heating. It transfers heat from a high-temperature fluid to a low-temperature fluid through the contact of fluids at different temperatures, thereby heating or cooling materials. Common types include shell-and-tube, plate, and spiral plate heat exchangers. During long-term operation, impurities and scale accumulate inside the heat exchanger. These deposits adhere to the surface of the heat exchange tubes, creating thermal resistance, significantly reducing heat exchange efficiency, increasing energy consumption, and potentially causing localized overheating and equipment damage. Backflushing is an effective method to solve this problem. It uses a fluid with a certain pressure and flow rate to flush the heat exchanger in the opposite direction of normal operation. The reverse water flow powerfully washes away the scale adhering to the inner wall of the heat exchange tubes, allowing it to be discharged from the equipment. Backflushing is relatively simple, requires no disassembly of the heat exchanger, can be performed periodically, effectively maintains the heat exchanger's performance, extends equipment lifespan, ensures stable system operation, and reduces maintenance costs.

[0003] CN221223511U discloses a heat exchanger backwashing device, including a heat exchanger body, an inlet pipe connected to the inlet of the heat exchanger body, and a return pipe connected to the outlet of the heat exchanger body. The other end of the inlet pipe is fixedly connected to a cooling zone. In this invention, by connecting the inlet and outlet of the heat exchanger body to the inlet and return pipes respectively, when cleaning the heat exchanger is required, the return water pressure in the return water zone flushes the liquid inside the return pipe into the heat exchanger body. The flushed wastewater is then discharged from the inlet of the heat exchanger body and discharged to the outside through the drain pipe. This allows for flushing without stopping the machine and without disassembling the structure. Simultaneously, the inlet and return valves can be closed, and the circulation valve opened, allowing cooling water from the cooling zone to enter the return pipe from the central pipe and then discharge the wastewater from the drain pipe on the inlet pipe, thus completing enhanced backwashing and significantly improving the cleaning effect.

[0004] The problem with the aforementioned heat exchanger backflushing device is that: This design only uses reverse water flow to flush away dirt, so the cleaning effect is limited for stubborn dirt (such as calcium and magnesium deposits or biofilms), especially for highly adhesive dirt that is difficult to remove completely; at the same time, the filter structure in this design is prone to clogging after long-term use, requiring manual cleaning after shutdown, which affects continuous operation.

[0025] The dosing assembly 4 also includes a filter plate 42, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the dosing chamber 41.

[0026] The dosing assembly 4 also includes an inner rotating sleeve 43, one side of which is rotatably connected to a ball bearing 432. The inner rotating sleeve 43 is rotatably connected to the inside of the dosing chamber 41 via the ball bearing 432.

The dosing assembly 4 also includes a baffle plate 431, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the inner rotating sleeve 43 in a ring. The baffle plate 431 corresponds to the position of the drug inlet channel 411.

[0027] An outlet valve 51 is fixedly installed on the middle of the outer side of the cooling water outlet pipe 5.

[0028] A first branch pipe 331 is provided on one side of the added pipe 3. One end of the first branch pipe 331 is fixedly connected to the added pipe 3, and the other end of the first branch pipe 331 is fixedly connected to the cooling water outlet pipe 5. A second branch pipe 332 is provided on the other side of the added pipe 3. One end of the second branch pipe 332 is fixedly connected to the added pipe 3, and the other end of the second branch pipe 332 is fixedly connected to the cooling water outlet pipe 5. A three-way ball valve 33 is fixedly connected at the connection between the added pipe 3, the first branch pipe 331, and the second branch pipe 332. By designing the first branch pipe 331 and the second branch pipe 332 through the three-way ball valve 33, the flushing path can be flexibly switched to circulate flushing or discharge to the tower pool 6, and cleaning and chemical recovery can be completed without disassembling the equipment.

The cooling water outlet pipe 5 is equipped with a tower pool 6 at the end away from the heat exchanger body 1.

[0029] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When heat exchanger body 1 is used for heat exchange process; The first control valve 31 and the three-way ball valve 33 can be closed, and the inlet valve 21 and the outlet valve 51 can be started. At this time, the medium will pass through the cooling water inlet pipe 2, the heat exchanger body 1 and the cooling water outlet pipe 5 in sequence to complete the heat exchange process. When backflushing of heat exchanger body 1 is required; The inlet valve 21 and outlet valve 51 can be closed, and cleaning solution can be added to the dosing chamber 41 through the dosing channel 411. At this time, the pump body 32 is started, so that the solution in the dosing chamber 41 enters the three-way ball valve 33 through the dosing pipe 3 and the pump body 32. The three-way ball valve 33 is started to connect the dosing pipe 3 with the first branch pipe 331. At this time, the solution enters the first branch pipe 331 through the dosing pipe 3 and the three-way ball valve 33. Then, the solution enters the cooling water outlet pipe 5 from the first branch pipe 331 and enters the heat exchanger body 1 through the cooling water outlet pipe 5. After cleaning in the heat exchanger body 1, the solution enters the cooling water inlet pipe 2 and finally flows back to the dosing pipe 3. The above steps complete the backwashing operation of the solution circulating through the dosing pipe 3 and the heat exchanger body 1. In particular, as the medicine is continuously injected through the medicine inlet channel 411, it will come into contact with the baffle plate 431, which will drive the inner rotating sleeve 43 to rotate inside the medicine dosing chamber 41. At this time, the shaft column 44 and the brush rod 441 fixed at the inner rotating sleeve 43 will rotate synchronously and continuously clean the filter screen plate 42. This design can prevent impurities from accumulating on the filter screen plate 42. When the backwashing of the heat exchanger body 1 is completed, the three-way ball valve 33 is activated to connect the three-way ball valve 33 to the second branch pipe 332. At this time, the circulating medicine flows into the cooling water outlet pipe 5 through the second branch pipe 332 and is finally returned to the tower pool 6 through the cooling water outlet pipe 5.
