A kind of bore welding method of heat exchanger
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of welding method, this welding method is suitable for the heat exchanger tube and the welding of the argon arc welding between the tube sheet of heat exchanger.
Background technology
Common welding method between the heat exchanger tube of heat exchanger and the tube sheet is the outside at tube sheet, and heat exchanger tube and tube sheet that the method for employing argon arc welding will be passed tube sheet weld together, and belong to the angle welding form.This welding method when processing medium flows into heat exchanger tube, can directly be washed away weld seam.
The low pressure reaction water condenser is the visual plant that is used to produce nitric acid, and its effect is with the condensate liquid rapid condensation in the oxidation nitrogen.The tube side medium of heat exchanger is oxidation nitrogen (moderate harm), and the shell side medium is a condensed water.Because low pressure reaction water condenser work under bad environment, variations in temperature is big, and the erosion corrosion of tube side medium butt welded seam is serious, so, be not suitable for adopting the heat exchanger tube and the tube sheet of common welding method welding equipment process gas arrival end.
Bore welding method is that special welding gun is inserted in the heat exchanger tube, and the method that adopts no welding wire argonaut welding to connect welds heat exchanger tube and tube sheet, belongs to the butt weld form.Bore welding method can avoid processing medium directly to wash away weld seam, is bearing alternate stress and is preventing that liquid all is better than traditional common welding manner aspect washing away.
Japan adopts bore welding method to be applied to welding between low pressure reaction water condenser upper inlet end heat exchanger tube and the tube sheet in the eighties the earliest, its welding method is to have bored earlier the diameter circular hole identical with the heat exchanger tube internal diameter on tube sheet, internal bore welding end in tube sheet processes the concave station that a diameter is equivalent to the heat exchanger external diameter again, during welding heat exchanger tube is inserted in the concave station, argon-arc welding gun inserts pore and welds.
Though this bore welding method tube sheet processing is simple, heat exchanger tube can insert in the concave station during welding, and heat exchanger tube is convenient with docking of tube sheet, also has weak point, at first is that the stress after the welding can not discharge; Secondly, tube sheet heats up slowlyer than heat exchanger tube during welding, influences welding quality; Simultaneously, because weld seam is positioned at the inside of tube sheet, also be inconvenient to observe the quality quality of welding after the welding.
Summary of the invention
The bore welding method that the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of heat exchanger to reduce welding stress, guarantees welding quality, thereby improves the service life of heat exchanger.
Heat exchanger bore welding method of the present invention comprises:
On the tube sheet of heat exchanger, process circular hole;
Internal bore welding end on tube sheet, makes to constitute an annular boss between circular hole and the annular groove as stress relief grooves around each circular hole processing annular groove;
Annular boss on heat exchanger tube and the tube sheet is docking together;
Argon-arc welding gun is inserted in the heat exchanger tube, and the abutment joint place carries out the welding of argon arc welding endoporus.
Wherein, the Circularhole diameter of processing on the heat exchanger tube sheet is identical with the internal diameter of heat exchanger tube, and the internal diameter of annular groove is not less than the external diameter of heat exchanger tube.
More preferably, the internal diameter of annular groove equates that with the external diameter of heat exchanger tube at this moment, the thickness of annular boss is identical with the pipe thickness of heat exchanger tube.
The present invention is owing to process annular groove as stress relief grooves on the tube sheet around the every heat exchanger tube, the stress that produces during welding is easy to discharge, thereby reduced welding stress, simultaneously, the annular boss programming rate when welding on the tube sheet and the programming rate of heat exchanger tube are approaching substantially, can effectively guarantee the quality of welding, improve the service life of heat exchanger, have good welding performance, and the weld seam after the welding is positioned at the surface of tube sheet, also is convenient to observe the quality of welding quality.
Except that being used to produce the low pressure reaction water condenser of nitric acid, other has the relatively poor heat exchanger of working condition that variations in temperature is big, produce characteristics such as alternate stress, butt welded seam erosion corrosion be serious, can use bore welding method of the present invention to make the service life that effectively to improve heat exchanger.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of bore welding method of the present invention.
The specific embodiment
The low pressure reaction water condenser is a visual plant of producing nitric acid, and this equipment is shell-and-tube heat exchanger, length overall 14.6m, and tube sheet diameter phi 2124mm is evenly equipped with 2020 heat exchanger tubes on the tube sheet, equipment heat exchange area 1798m
2, net weight 48055Kg.
When making the low pressure reaction water condenser, at first process the inner body of condensers such as comprising tube sheet, heat exchanger tube, deflection plate, pull bar, comprise the blanking of shell ring again and roll and shell ring between group to operations such as welding, produce the cylindrical shell of heat exchanger, then heat exchanger tube is restrained and is worn in assembling, tube bank is penetrated in the heat exchanger cylindrical shell, preparation is docked with tube sheet and is carried out the endoporus welding again.
Bore welding method such as Fig. 1 of low pressure reaction water condenser process gas arrival end tube sheet 2 and heat exchanger tube 4, at first getting out 2020 apertures on tube sheet 2 is φ 21.4
0 + 0.05The circular hole of mm (identical) with the internal diameter of heat exchanger tube 4, then each circular hole of internal bore welding end that is connected with heat exchanger tube 4 at tube sheet 2 all processes the annular groove 6 of a φ 29.4mm as stress relief grooves on every side, the groove width 3mm of annular groove 6, groove depth 3mm, thereby form an annular boss between circular hole and annular groove 6, the width of annular boss is identical with the pipe thickness of heat exchanger tube 4.During welding, with the annular boss that heat exchanger tube 4 is aimed on the tube sheet 2, argon-arc welding gun 1 inserts in the tube sheet 2, and tungsten electrode 3 is aimed at the junction of tube sheet 2 and heat exchanger tube 4, adopts the two-sided argon shield argonaut welding of no welding wire to weld.Weld seam 5 after the welding carries out single local 0.54MPa hydrostatic test immediately, to guarantee the endoporus welding quality of every heat exchanger tube 4.
Then adopt common welding method again, the other end and the heat exchanger exit end tube sheet of heat exchanger tube 4 welded together, and the subsides of carrying out heat exchanger tube expand, make and weld bobbin carriage at last.
After the low pressure reaction water condenser is made, according to designing requirement, respectively the equipment shell side is carried out the 0.58MPa water pressure test according to the GB150-1998 standard, tube side is carried out the 0.54MPa water pressure test, qualification rate reaches 100%; According to the HG20584-98 standard shell side is carried out 1% ammonia leak test of 0.48MPa, qualification rate 100%.
Any abnormal problem is not found in the operation of putting into production after the new low pressure reaction water condenser of making was installed on January 13rd, 2005 so far.
