Description

Stainless steel heat exchanger, gas water heating device and manufacturing method of heat exchanger
Technical Field

Background
The gas water heater is a gas appliance which takes gas as fuel and transfers heat to cold water flowing through a heat exchanger in a combustion heating mode so as to achieve the purpose of preparing hot water. At present, a heat exchanger used in a gas water heater mainly comprises a surrounding frame, a plurality of heat exchange tubes provided with fins in a penetrating manner and a U-shaped connector arranged outside the surrounding frame to connect the ends of the heat exchange tubes in pairs, wherein the U-shaped connector enables all the heat exchange tubes to form a continuous flow channel. However, in the processing process, each joint is connected with the end head of the heat exchange tube by brazing independently, so that the operation is complex and the labor hour is consumed. Along with the extension of the service time, the problem of corrosion and water leakage can occur at the brazing welding part, so that the service life of the heat exchanger is reduced.
In the prior art, there is a heat exchanger structure which adopts a water collecting box to communicate heat exchange pipes of a heat exchanger, the heat exchange pipes are communicated through a sealing cover plate provided with a convex hull to form a flow channel, the sealing cover plate is covered on a mounting plate on one side of the heat exchanger, the ends of the heat exchange pipes to be communicated are communicated through a connecting channel of the convex hull structure, however, the brazing welding parts of the ends of the heat exchange pipes, which are in contact with water, are easily corroded and damaged in the use process, and the service life of the heat exchanger is influenced.
Disclosure of Invention
The inventors have long studied and found that the solder material at the end welding part of the heat exchange tube of the heat exchanger of the above-mentioned type is different from the heat exchanger itself, so that when the welding part (weld joint) is in contact with the heat exchange medium (water), there is a potential difference between the two metal materials, and electrochemical corrosion is generated, and particularly in the case of the heat exchanger made of stainless steel and the heat exchanger made of brazing or nickel solder, the corrosion phenomenon is more prominent, and the welding part is corroded and destroyed with long-time use.
In addition, the heat exchanger in the gas water heater heats the water in the heat exchange tube through heat exchange with the high-temperature flue gas formed by the burner. After a user stops the machine (such as stopping using hot water with a water end), water in the heat exchange tube stops flowing, but high-temperature flue gas still exists in the gas water heater, the high-temperature flue gas can continuously heat the water staying in the heat exchange tube, and the water in the heat exchange tube is in a static state at the moment and cannot take away heat transferred by the high-temperature flue gas, so that the water in the heat exchange tube can be heated to an excessive temperature, and the welding part is corroded and damaged more rapidly under the action of the excessive temperature water.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein in the description of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "and/or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
Please refer to fig. 1 to 3. In an embodiment of the present application, there is provided a stainless steel heat exchanger 100 including: a mounting plate 3; a plurality of heat exchange tubes 4; the heat exchange tube 4 is fixedly connected with the mounting plate 3 through a first welding part 8; a communication structure having a communication space 6; the communication space 6 communicates the pipe ends of two or more heat exchange pipes 4 to form a flow passage; the communication structure is connected with the mounting plate 3 and/or the heat exchange tube 4; an isolation part; the spacer separates the first welded portion 8 from the flow passage.
The stainless steel heat exchanger 100 provided in this embodiment isolates the first welded portion 8 from the flow channel by providing the isolation portion, so that the first welded portion 8 cannot directly contact with the heat exchange medium (preferably water) in the flow channel, and thus the first welded portion 8 cannot be corroded by the heat exchange medium, and the first welded portion 8 between the heat exchange tube 4 and the mounting plate 3 can be effectively protected, and the service life is prolonged.
Meanwhile, the first welding part 8 is isolated from the flow passage by the isolating part, and even if the material of the first welding part 8 is different from that of the mounting plate 3 and the heat exchange tube 4, electrochemical corrosion cannot be formed, so that the first welding part 8 cannot be corroded and damaged, and the service life of a welding part between the heat exchange tube 4 and the mounting plate 3 is effectively improved.
In addition, the first welded portion 8 is isolated from the flow passage by the isolating portion, and even if the high-temperature flue gas remaining in the heat exchanger after the shutdown heats the water remaining in the heat exchange tube 4 to an excessively high temperature, the first welded portion 8 cannot be contacted with the water due to the isolating portion, and also cannot be corroded with acceleration.
In an embodiment, the isolation portion may be a coating structure, and the isolation portion may be disposed on the surface of the first welding portion 8 exposed to the flow channel, so as to avoid direct contact between the first welding portion 8 and the heat exchange medium in the flow channel. Preferably, the spacer is formed by laser welding or argon arc welding.
In the present embodiment, the second welded portion 7 formed by laser welding or argon arc welding isolates the welded portion formed by brazing from the water in the flow passage. Because the laser welding and the argon arc welding are the second welding part 7 formed after the melting of the base metal of the stainless steel heat exchanger, the second welding part 7 is basically consistent with the stainless steel heat exchanger, has stronger corrosion resistance, further avoids the corrosion damage problem caused by the direct contact of the first welding part 8 formed by brazing and water, and prolongs the service life of the heat exchanger.
Meanwhile, the heat exchange tube 4 is mainly connected with the mounting plate 3 through the first welding part 8, so that the requirement on the connection performance of the second welding part 7 is reduced, and only the second welding part 7 is required to isolate the first welding part 8 from the flow passage.
In the embodiment, the isolation portion may isolate the first welded portion 8 entirely from the flow passage, or may isolate a part of the first welded portion 8. Preferably, the spacer completely separates the first weld 8 from the flow path to ensure that the first weld 8 cannot contact water and cause corrosion. The isolation part and the first welding part 8 can be contacted, or not contacted, and only the isolation part can separate the first welding part 8 from the flow passage.
The separator may also be a water barrier in some embodiments, considering that the heat exchange medium typically employs water. The first welding part 8 is isolated from water in the flow passage by the water isolation part, so that the first welding part 8 is prevented from contacting with water. In a preferred embodiment, the spacer may sealingly connect the mounting plate 8 and the heat exchange tube 4 while completely isolating the first weld 8 from the flow passage.
In order to separate the first welded portion 8 from the flow channel, a spacer may be located at a side of the first welded portion 8 close to the flow channel, avoiding direct contact of the first welded portion 8 with the inside of the flow channel. As shown in fig. 3, the partition is located on the side of the first welded portion 8 near the communication structure.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1 and 2, the mounting plate 3 is located at one side of the heat exchanger 100, and a plurality of heat exchange tubes 4 are mounted on the mounting plate 3 in parallel with each other. The outside of each mounting plate 3 is provided with the communication structure to connect a plurality of heat exchange tubes 4 in series to form a flow passage. The heat exchange tube 4 may have a circular tube shape, and may be provided with fins 9 to increase a heat exchange area. In the present embodiment, the heat exchange tube 4 heats the internal heat exchange medium (preferably water) by exchanging heat with the flue gas generated by the burner.
As shown in fig. 3, the mounting plate 3 is provided with a plurality of flanging holes 10, a plurality of heat exchange tubes 4 are arranged in parallel, and the tube ends of the heat exchange tubes 4 are inserted into the flanging holes 10. To isolate the first weld 8 from the flow channel, the isolation may be annular in shape, surrounding the tube ends of the heat exchange tube 4.
In this embodiment, the partition comprises a second weld 7 connecting the mounting plate 3 with the heat exchange tube 4. The second welding portion 7 is welded to the first welding portion 8 in a different manner to form a second welding portion 7 and a first welding portion 8 of different materials. As a preferred embodiment, the second welded portion 7 may be formed by laser welding or argon arc welding. The first welded portion 8 is formed by brazing. Specifically, the brazing solder is copper or nickel.
In this embodiment, the second welding part 7 formed by laser welding or argon arc welding isolates the brazing part from the water in the flow channel, and since the laser welding and the argon arc welding are the second welding part 7 formed by melting the base metal of the stainless steel heat exchanger, the second welding part 7 is basically consistent with the stainless steel heat exchanger, so that the risk of electrochemical corrosion is reduced, the corrosion resistance is high, the corrosion damage problem caused by direct contact between the first welding part 8 formed by brazing and water is avoided, and the service life of the heat exchanger is prolonged.
Meanwhile, the heat exchange tube 4 is mainly connected with the mounting plate 3 through the first welding part 8, so that the requirement on the connection performance of the second welding part 7 is reduced, and only the second welding part 7 is required to isolate the first welding part 8 from the flow passage.
In practice, the second welded portion 7 may be formed prior to the first welded portion 8 by laser welding or argon arc welding, and the heat exchange tube 4 may be positioned by fixing the heat exchange tube 4 to the mounting plate 3 with respect to the second welded portion 7. A space for filling with brazing solder is formed between the positioned heat exchange tube 4 and the mounting plate 3, and the filled solder (such as copper or nickel) forms a first welded portion 8.
In the embodiment, the mounting plate 3 has a first connection portion that is fitted over the heat exchange tube 4. The first welding part 8 connects the first connection part with the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 4. The second welded portion 7 is closer to the tube end of the heat exchange tube 4 than the first welded portion 8 to isolate the first welded portion 8 from the flow passage.
Specifically, the first connection portion extends in a direction away from the communication structure; the first connecting part is a flanging of a flanging hole 10 on the mounting plate 3. By means of which a fit gap can be formed between the flange and the tube end of the heat exchanger tube 4, which fit gap can be filled with solder for brazing to form the first weld 8.
Similar to the first welded portion 8, in this embodiment, the second welded portion 7 is disposed around the heat exchange tube 4 and seals between the burred wall surface and the wall surface of the heat exchange tube 4. Specifically, the first welding portion 8 is formed between the flange and the wall of the heat exchange tube 4. At the same time, the second welded portion 7 is closer to the communication space 6 than the first welded portion 8.
As shown in fig. 3, the second weld 7 is located in the fit-in gap between the flange and the heat exchanger tube 4. The first welding part 8 is positioned in the fit clearance to connect the heat exchange tube 4 with the flanging, and the heat exchange tube 4 is in sealing connection with the mounting plate 3. The second welded portion 7 is also connected to the heat exchange tube 4 by the flange, and may be formed prior to the first welded portion 8 to position the welding of the first welded portion 8. As shown in fig. 3, the length of the second welded portion 7 in the axial direction of the heat exchange tube 4 is smaller than the length of the first welded portion 8.
In the embodiment, the material of the second welded portion 7 may be the same as or different from the material of the mounting plate 3 and the heat exchange tube 4. In order to prevent the second welded portion 7 from being electrochemically corroded and to protect the second welded portion 7 from corrosion, the material of the second welded portion 7 is preferably stainless steel.
In order to avoid the electrochemical corrosion of the second welding portion 7, the second welding portion 7 is ensured not to be damaged, and the material of the second welding portion 7 can be the same as the material of the mounting plate 3 and the heat exchange tube 4. Specifically, the material of the second welding portion 7 may be stainless steel. The second welded portion 7 having stainless steel material has a better corrosion resistance. Further, the second welded portion 7 may be formed by melting a part of the mounting plate 3 and/or a part of the heat exchange tube 4.
In order to facilitate the formation of the second welded portion 7, when the second welded portion 7 is formed by welding, the second welded portion 7 may be formed by laser welding the tube ends of the heat exchange tube 4. Of course, the second welded portion 7 is not limited to being formed by the tube end of the heat exchange tube 4, and may be formed by laser welding the side wall of the heat exchange tube 4 or by laser welding the mounting plate 3.
The first welding part formed by brazing is isolated from water in the flow channel through the second welding part 7 formed by laser welding, and as the second welding part 7 formed by melting the base metal is formed by laser welding, the second welding part 7 is basically consistent with the stainless steel heat exchanger, so that the risk of electrochemical corrosion is reduced, the corrosion resistance is higher, the corrosion damage problem caused by direct contact of the brazing part and water is avoided, and the service life of the heat exchanger is prolonged.
In this embodiment, the communication structure may be mounted on the mounting plate 3, and the plurality of heat exchange tubes 4 may be communicated with each other through the communication space 6. The application does not limit the shape of the communication space 6, and only needs to communicate the pipe ends of the plurality of heat exchange pipes 4. The communication structure may be formed with a plurality of communication spaces 6, and the respective communication spaces 6 may be sealed from each other (not directly communicated).
Specifically, the periphery of each communication space 6 may be in sealing connection with the mounting plate 3, so that each communication space 6 remains independent, and thus, the plurality of heat exchange tubes 4 are connected in series to form a heat exchange flow channel. The communication structure may be mounted on the mounting plate 3 by bolting and sandwiching a gasket, or may be mounted by riveting or the like. Preferably, the communication structure may be connected to the mounting plate 3 and/or the heat exchange tube 4 by a third welded portion.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1 and 2, the communication structure includes a cover plate 1 disposed on one side of the mounting plate 3. The cover plate 1 is provided with a protruding part 2 protruding along the direction away from the mounting plate 3 and a second connecting part positioned around the protruding part 2. The inside of the boss 2 forms the communication space 6. The second connecting portion is connected to the mounting plate 3 by the third welding portion to seal the periphery of the boss 2.
In this embodiment, the protrusion 2 of the communication structure may communicate two or more heat exchange tubes 4. As shown in fig. 2, in order to form a flow path by connecting a plurality of heat exchange tubes 4 in series, the tube ends of two heat exchange tubes 4 communicate with the inside (communication space 6) of one boss 2.
Specifically, the third welded portion may be formed by brazing. In order to avoid the third weld being destroyed by water corrosion, a fourth weld 5 may be provided around the boss 2. The fourth weld 5 isolates the third weld from the flow channel. Wherein the fourth weld 5 may be formed by melting a part of the cover plate 1 and/or the mounting plate 3.
In the embodiment, for ease of manufacturing and formation of a sealing structure between the heat exchange tube 4, the mounting plate 3, and the communication structure, the first welded portion 8, the third welded portion may be formed by brazing. The first welded portion 8 and/or the third welded portion are/is made of a material different from that of the mounting plate 3 and the heat exchange tube 4.
In the embodiment, the material of the isolation portion is different from the first welded portion 8 and the third welded portion. Specifically, the first welded portion 8 and the third welded portion are made of non-stainless steel materials, such as copper (including copper alloy) and nickel (including nickel alloy). The isolation part is made of stainless steel.
In an embodiment, the isolation portion is not limited to the above-described weld structure formed by welding, and in one example, the isolation portion may include a waterproof coating applied to a surface of the first welding portion 8 and/or the third welding portion exposed in the flow passage. The waterproof coating may be applied after the first weld 8 and/or the third weld is formed.
The embodiment of the application also provides a gas water heating device, which comprises: stainless steel heat exchanger 100 as described in any of the above. The gas water heating device can comprise, but is not limited to, a gas water heater and a wall-mounted boiler. Specifically, the gas water heating device may be provided with a burner (not shown), and the flue gas formed by the burner exchanges heat with the stainless steel heat exchanger 100 to heat water in the stainless steel heat exchanger 100.
The combustion portion and other portions (e.g., control portion and display portion) of the gas water heater according to the present embodiment may be any suitable conventional structure. For clarity and brevity, the technical solutions provided in the present embodiment will not be described in detail herein, and the drawings in the description are correspondingly simplified. It should be understood that the present embodiment is not limited in scope thereby.
As shown in fig. 4, the embodiment of the application further provides a manufacturing method of the heat exchanger. The method of manufacturing the heat exchanger may be used to manufacture, but is not limited to, the stainless steel heat exchanger 100 in any of the embodiments or examples described above. In this embodiment, the method for manufacturing the heat exchanger includes:
s1, welding and sealing the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 4 and the mounting part of the mounting plate 3 to form a welding part;
s2, an isolation part for isolating the welding part from water is arranged between the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 4 and the mounting part.
The steps S1 and S2 in the present embodiment are not limited in order of execution, and the step S1 may be executed before the step S2, that is, the welded portion is formed before the isolation portion. Step S2 may also be performed prior to step S1, i.e. the spacer is formed prior to the weld.
In step S1, the temperature at which the welded portion is formed is lower than the melting points of the heat exchange tube 4 and the mounting plate 3. The solder may be formed using a solder, which may be copper or nickel. Specifically, the welded portion is formed by brazing. Of course, the welded portion may also refer to the welded portion in the stainless steel heat exchanger 100 of the above embodiment, or the description of the first welded portion 8 and/or the third welded portion, which will not be repeated here.
In step S2, a part of the heat exchange tube 4 and/or a part of the mounting plate 3 are melted to form the partition. Specifically, the isolation portion is formed by laser welding or argon arc welding. Wherein the welding manner of forming the welding portion may be different from the welding manner of forming the isolation portion.
The mounting portion is a mounting hole formed in the mounting plate 3. Specifically, the mounting hole is a flanging hole 10, and the welding part formed by brazing is formed between the flanging of the flanging hole 10 and the outer wall of the heat exchange tube 4 so as to seal and connect the mounting plate 3 with the heat exchange tube 4.
In the step S2, the isolation portion is formed by laser welding the pipe end of the heat exchange pipe 4 extending into the mounting hole. The welding part formed by brazing is isolated from water in the flow channel through the isolating part formed by laser welding, and the isolating part formed by melting the base metal is basically consistent with the stainless steel heat exchanger, so that the isolating part has stronger corrosion resistance, further the corrosion damage problem caused by direct contact of the brazing part and water is avoided, and the service life of the heat exchanger is prolonged.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the description contents of the mounting plate 3, the welding portion, the mounting hole, and the isolation portion may be referred to by the mutual reference with the description contents of the mounting plate 3, the welding portion (the first welding portion 8 and/or the third welding portion), the mounting hole, and the isolation portion of the stainless steel heat exchanger 100 in the above embodiment, which are not described in detail herein.
