Brief description of the drawings
Fig. 1 is;Conventional heat-exchanger rig product function realizes figure;
Fig. 2 is;A kind of aircraft engine fires lubricating oil integrated heat exchange device product functional realiey figure.
Specific embodiment
When product works, low temperature fuel oil flows into product fuel oil coarse filtration 41 from fuel filler 1, is filtered through fuel oil rough filtering component 41 Enter radiator core body 5 afterwards, when the retaining pressure of fuel oil coarse filtration 41 exceedes coarse filtration first threshold, entrance pop-up indicator 42 sends Alarm signal.When the retaining pressure of fuel oil coarse filtration 41 exceedes coarse filtration Second Threshold, entrance bypass flap 43 is influenceed to open by oil pressure, Fuel oil is no longer flow through fuel oil coarse filtration 41, is directly exchanged heat by the inflow radiator core body 5 of entrance bypass flap 43.Combustion after heat exchange Oil flows out from radiator core body 5, is flowed out from fuel outlet after being filtered through fuel oil fine filtering 91, when the retaining pressure of fuel oil fine filtering 91 exceedes During fine filtering first threshold, outlet pop-up indicator 93 sends alarm signal.When the retaining pressure of fuel oil coarse filtration 41 exceedes coarse filtration second During threshold value, outlet bypass flap 92 is opened, and fuel oil is no longer flow through fuel oil fine filtering 91 and is directly flowed out by outlet bypass flap 92.Work as combustion Oil pocket fuel oil oil filter 91 or fuel oil coarse filtration 41 are blocked, when fuel filler 1 and the pressure of fuel outlet 3 are more than three threshold values, pressure difference letter Number device 2 sends alarm model.
Temperature lubricating oil higher flows into radiator core body 5 by lubricating oil entrance 6, is flowed out by oil outlet 8 after heat exchange.Work as combustion When oil export temperature is higher than 32 DEG C, temperature-sensitive valve 71 starts action, and when fuel outlet temperature reaches 48 DEG C, temperature-sensitive valve 71 is complete Complete to open, lubricating oil no longer all by radiator core body 5, is directly bypassed to oil outlet 8 by lubricating oil entrance 6;When lubricating oil turnover When mouth pressure difference is more than certain value, pressure-sensitive valve 72 is opened, and by lubricating oil entrance 6, directly bypass to oil outlet 8 enters most of lubricating oil Enter engine, protect radiator core body 5 not destroyed by high pressure.
