Description

Method for controlling three-valve heat exchanger through flow speed difference

Technical Field

The present invention is a further improvement over the previous applications, which is applied to the field of heat exchangers. The invention relates to a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, in particular to a shell-and-tube heat exchanger for gas heat exchange.

Background

The invention relates to heat exchanger descaling, which is a novel invention applied to a shell-and-tube heat exchanger on the basis of research and development of Qingdao science and technology university (application number 2019101874848).

The shell-and-tube heat exchanger is widely applied to industries such as chemical industry, petroleum industry, refrigeration industry, nuclear energy industry and power industry, and due to the worldwide energy crisis, the demand of the heat exchanger in industrial production is more and more, and the quality requirement of the heat exchanger is higher and more. In recent decades, although compact heat exchangers (plate type, plate fin type, pressure welded plate type, etc.), heat pipe type heat exchangers, direct contact type heat exchangers, etc. have been rapidly developed, because the shell and tube type heat exchangers have high reliability and wide adaptability, they still occupy the domination of yield and usage, and according to relevant statistics, the usage of the shell and tube type heat exchangers in the current industrial devices still accounts for about 70% of the usage of all heat exchangers.

After the shell-and-tube heat exchanger is scaled, the heat exchanger is cleaned by adopting conventional modes of steam cleaning, back flushing and the like, and the production practice proves that the effect is not good. The end socket of the heat exchanger can only be disassembled, and a physical cleaning mode is adopted, but the mode is adopted for cleaning, so that the operation is complex, the consumed time is long, the investment of manpower and material resources is large, and great difficulty is brought to continuous industrial production.

The mode of passively strengthening heat exchange is to strictly prevent the fluid vibration induction in the heat exchanger from being changed into effective utilization of vibration, so that the convective heat transfer coefficient of the transmission element at low flow speed is greatly improved, dirt on the surface of the heat transfer element is restrained by vibration, the thermal resistance of the dirt is reduced, and the composite strengthened heat transfer is realized.

In application, it is found that continuous heating can cause the internal fluid to form stability, i.e. the fluid does not flow or has little fluidity, or the flow is stable, so that the vibration performance of the heat exchange tube is greatly weakened, thereby affecting the descaling of the heat exchange tube and the heating efficiency. There is therefore a need for improvements to the above-described heat exchangers.

The heat exchanger generally exchanges heat by two fluids, and the heat exchange of four fluids is rarely researched, the four-fluid heat exchange is researched, a novel induced vibration four-fluid shell-and-tube heat exchanger is developed,

current shell and tube heat exchangers include dual headers, one header evaporating and one header condensing, thereby forming a vibrating descaled heat pipe. Thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat pipe and reducing scaling. However, the heat pipe has insufficient uniformity of heat exchange, only one side is used for condensation, and the heat exchange amount is small, so that improvement is needed to develop a heat pipe system with a novel structure. There is therefore a need for improvements to the above-described heat exchangers.

In the prior application, a shell-and-tube heat exchanger for exchanging heat of four fluids has been developed, but the shell-and-tube heat exchanger is controlled according to the period, so that the vibration heat exchange effect is poor, and the intelligent degree is low. The present application therefore provides further improvements over the previous studies.

The following description focuses on the case where the shell-side fluid is the heat sink and the first fluid, the second fluid, and the third fluid are the heat sources.

The fluid is heated and evaporated in the central tube 8, flows to the left and

right headers

21 and 22 along the annular tube bundle, and is heated to expand in volume, so that steam is formed, and the volume of the steam is far larger than that of water, so that the formed steam can flow in the coil in a rapid impact manner. Because of volume expansion and steam flow, the free end of the annular tube can be induced to vibrate, the vibration is transmitted to the surrounding heat exchange fluid by the free end of the heat exchange tube in the vibration process, and the fluid can also generate disturbance, so that the surrounding heat exchange fluid forms disturbance flow, a boundary layer is damaged, and the purpose of enhancing heat transfer is realized. The fluid is condensed and released heat in the left and right side pipes and then flows back to the central pipe through the return pipe. Conversely, the fluid may be heated in the left and right pipes, condensed in the central pipe, and returned to the left and right pipes through the return pipe to be circulated.

In the prior application of the inventor, a periodic heat exchange mode is provided, and the vibration of the annular tube is continuously promoted through the periodic heat exchange mode, so that the heat exchange efficiency and the descaling effect are improved. However, adjusting the vibration of the tube bundle with a fixed periodic variation can lead to hysteresis and too long or too short a period. Therefore, the invention improves the previous application and intelligently controls the vibration, so that the fluid in the fluid can realize frequent vibration, and good descaling and heat exchange effects are realized.

The first data is pressure data in a fully heated state, and the second data is pressure data in the absence of heating or in the beginning of heating. Through the judgment of the pressure, the operation state of the valve is determined according to different conditions through the judgment of the pressure, and overheating or operation starting is avoided.
