[ first embodiment ] A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device
Referring to fig. 1, a first embodiment of the present invention provides a structural schematic diagram of a heat receiving fin module 100, where the heat receiving fin module 100 includes: two headers 10, and a plurality of finned tubes 20 connected between the two headers 10. Wherein, two headers for example include: the inlet header 11 and the outlet header 12, the inlet header 11 and the outlet header 12 being interchangeable, i.e., the inlet header 11 is located on the top of the finned tube 20 and the outlet header 12 is located on the bottom of the finned tube 20, or alternatively, the inlet header 11 is located on the bottom of the finned tube 20 and the outlet header 12 is located on the top of the finned tube 20. The number of the finned tubes 20 may be one row, two rows or three rows, which is not limited herein. The multiple rows of finned tubes 20 are arranged in parallel and can uniformly absorb the heat of the flue gas.
In this embodiment, the finned tube 20 and the two headers 10 are joined by welding with a weld seam at the joint. When the finned tube 20 is leaking, the site of the leak is typically the weld, but may be other sites, such as between the heat conducting fins 21 and the tube body 22. Since the exhaust heat boiler 200 does not reserve a repair space, the leakage portion of the leaking finned tube 20 cannot be repaired by welding.
Preferably, referring to FIG. 2, the heated fin module 100 further includes a plurality of working openings 50, the plurality of working openings 50 being located on a side of the inlet header 11 opposite the leaky finned tube 20 and on a side of the outlet header 12 opposite the leaky finned tube 20 to provide space for the plugging of the leaky finned tube 20.
Specifically, first, the leaking finned tubes 20 are found inside the boiler casing by an endoscope. When the leakage occurs, at least one finned tube 20 of the plurality of finned tubes 20 leaks, and therefore each finned tube 20 needs to be inspected by the endoscope. The blind area of the field of view can be observed by the endoscope, and the leakage part can be inspected more accurately than by direct observation.
Then, with respect to the one or more leaky finned tubes 20 that have been found, the header 10 corresponding to the leaky finned tube 20 is found by referring to the relevant drawings.
Then, one end of the finned tube 20 is provided with a working medium inlet 23, the other end of the finned tube is provided with a working medium outlet 24, the working medium inlet 23 is communicated with the inner cavity of the inlet header 11, the working medium outlet 24 is communicated with the inner cavity of the outlet header 12, and one side of the corresponding header 10, which is opposite to the working medium inlet 23 and the working medium outlet 24, is provided with a working opening 50.

The diameter of the working opening 50 may be 110mm, which facilitates grinding and welding within the working opening 50. Of course, the diameter of the working opening 50 can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and is not limited herein.

When the pipe body plugs 25 are installed, a hand is put into the working opening 50, the ends with small diameters of the two pipe body plugs 25, namely the ends corresponding to D2, are respectively pressed into the working medium inlet 23 and the working medium outlet 24, then the joints of the working medium inlet 23 and the corresponding pipe body plugs 25 and the joints of the working medium outlet 24 and the corresponding pipe body plugs 25 are welded together, so that the leaked finned pipes 20 are not communicated with the inlet header 11 and the outlet header 12, and the leaked finned pipes 20 are discarded in subsequent use.
Then, the welding slag and other debris in the inlet header 11 and the outlet header 12 are cleaned through the working opening 50, and the welding slag and the debris are prevented from polluting the working medium in the heated fin module 100 when the heated fin module 100 is used again.

Preferably, referring to fig. 1, each fin tube 20 includes, for example, a tube body 22 and a plurality of heat conductive fins 21 surrounding the tube body 22. For example, the plurality of heat conducting fins 21 are spirally and circumferentially distributed on the outer wall of the tube 22, the horizontal distance and the vertical distance between adjacent heat conducting fins 21 are the same, and the inclination angles of all the heat conducting fins 21 with respect to the horizontal plane are the same. Of course, the arrangement of the heat conducting fins 21 may also be multiple rows of heat conducting fins 21, for example, two rows of heat conducting fins 21 are located on two opposite sides of the tube body 22, and the heights of the two opposite heat conducting fins 21 are the same, which is not limited herein.
