The inner discharge tubes, the middle discharge tubes, and the outer discharge tubes are uniformly and fixedly connected to the tube plates along a circumferential direction. The barrel body is fixedly connected between a front tube plate and a rear tube plate. A front sealing head and a rear sealing head are respectively and fixedly connected to the front tube plate and the rear tube plate, and a gasket is arranged between each tube plate and the corresponding sealing head. Each discharge tube bundle is made of copper tubes and of a spiral tubular structure. Spiral directions of two adjacent rows of tube bundles are opposite. Quantities of spiral turns of the discharge tube bundles increase sequentially from outside to inside, so that vibration of the tube bundles can be induced with a shell side fluid to enhance heat exchange, reduce scale on a heat transfer surface and noise, and further increase the service life. A single-row/array combined mounting of a plurality of heat exchangers can be implemented by using the flanges arranged on outlets and inlets and the connecting tube thereof, and flexible assembly and disassembly can be performed according to an actual situation.

Description

P100569LU00 1 MINIATURE SPIRAL WOUND ELASTIC TUBE HEAT 10102098
EXCHANGER
BACKGROUND Technical Field The present invention relates to the field of heat exchanger design technologies, and in particular, to a miniature spiral wound elastic tube heat exchanger. Related Art A heat exchanger is an energy-efficient device for transferring heat between two or more fluids with different temperatures, allowing heat to be transferred from a fluid with a higher temperature to a fluid with a lower temperature, so that a fluid temperature reaches a target specified in a process to meet a requirement of a process condition. In addition, the heat exchanger is also one of major devices for improving an energy utilization rate and is widely used in petroleum, chemical engineering, nuclear power, refrigeration, and other industrial fields.
Using a plurality of stainless steel straight tubes as internal heat transfer elements, a | conventional shell and tube heat exchanger has a large overall structure size and a low assembly flexibility. Using a single stainless steel straight tube as an internal heat transfer element, a conventional double-pipe heat exchanger has a simple structure and low heat exchanging efficiency. Given that fluid-induced vibration of the internal heat transfer element of the heat exchanger leads to fatigue damage, it is not always effective to prevent the vibration and avoid the damage by using a method of increasing strength of a rigid tube bundle. An elastic tube bundle heat exchanger uses an elastic heat transfer element (a red copper tube) instead of a conventional rigid element (a stainless steel tube), makes full use of fluid-induced vibration of the elastic heat transfer element to enhance the heat transfer, and has obvious advantages in preventing tube bundle damage, reducing noise, and automatic descaling. However, a heat transfer enhancement effect of such an elastic tube bundle heat exchanger is not obvious due to limitations of an internal tube bundle arrangement and an overall size, and flexibility of using a plurality of heat exchanger in combinations is low. Based on the above problems, the heat exchanger cannot meet the requirements of high efficiency and flexibility.
SUMMARY To resolve the problems in a practical engineering application of the existing tube heat exchanger, the present invention provides a miniature spiral wound elastic tube heat Ce ————————————
P100569LU00 2 exchanger. LUT02099 The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A miniature spiral wound elastic tube heat exchanger includes sealing heads, outer discharge tubes, middle discharge tubes, inner discharge tubes, a barrel body, flanges, gaskets, tube plates, and a connecting tube. The outer discharge tubes, the middle discharge tubes, and the inner discharge tubes are uniformly and fixedly connected to a front tube plate and a rear tube plate along a circumferential direction. The barrel body is fixedly connected between the front tube plate and the rear tube plate. A front sealing head and a rear sealing head are respectively and fixedly connected to the front tube plate and the rear tube plate, and the gaskets are arranged between the tube plates and the sealing heads. A single-row/array combined mounting of a plurality of heat exchangers may be implemented by using the flanges arranged on outlets and inlets and the connecting tube.
In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the inner discharge tube, the middle discharge tube, and the outer discharge tube are each of a spiral tubular structure.
In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the inner discharge tube, the middle discharge tube, and the outer discharge tube are each a red copper tube.
In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, spiral directions of the outer discharge tube and the middle discharge tube are opposite, and spiral directions of the middle discharge tube and the inner discharge tube are opposite, that is, spiral directions of two adjacent rows of tube bundles are opposite.
In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, quantities of spiral turns of the outer discharge tube, the middle discharge tube, and the inner discharge tube increase sequentially.
In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, quantities of the outer discharge tubes, the middle discharge tubes, and the inner discharge tubes distributed in a circumferential direction decrease sequentially.
In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the miniature spiral wound elastic tube heat exchanger can implement a single-row/array combined mounting of a plurality of heat exchangers in a plane by fixedly connecting the flanges on outlets and inlets.
When used on site, the miniature spiral wound elastic tube heat exchanger needs to | | be subjected to a pressure test and an air tightness test before mounting. During heat exchange, a cooling medium enters from a tube opening of the sealing head and flows in —_"—"——""—"——————
P100569LU00 3 the outer discharge tube, the middle discharge tube, and the inner discharge tube, and this 7102099 path is referred to as a tube side. A heating medium flows in a gap between the barrel body and the outer discharge tube, the middle discharge tube, and the inner discharge tube, and this path is referred to as a shell side. The miniature spiral wound elastic tube heat exchanger is mounted horizontally. According to an actual heat exchange requirement, a single-row/array combined mounting of a plurality of heat exchangers is implemented by fixedly connecting the flanges on outlets and inlets to the connecting tube. During opening, a tube side inlet is opened first, then a tube side outlet is opened, so that the cooling medium fills the tube side. Subsequently, a shell side outlet is opened, and then a shell side inlet is opened, so that the heating medium flows in the shell side, so as to achieve a heat exchange effect. When the heating medium cools down to a certain degree, the shell side inlet, the shell side outlet, the tube side inlet, and the tube side outlet are closed. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The tube bundles of the present invention are made of red copper tubes. As an elastic material, the red copper tube can enhance heat exchange and reduce noise and scale on a heat transfer surface by inducing vibration of the tube bundles with a shell side fluid, and can further increase a service life. As a spiral tube is used instead of a straight tube, the fluid forms a secondary flow in the spiral tube, thereby enhancing heat transfer. A turbulent characteristic of the shell side fluid is increased by setting two adjacent rows of tube bundles with opposite spiral directions, thereby enhancing heat transfer. Vibration intensity of each row of tube bundles is consistent by setting quantities of spiral turns to increase from outside to inside. A single-row/array combined mounting of a plurality of heat exchangers can be implemented, and flexible assembly and disassembly can be performed according to an actual situation by using the flanges arranged on outlets and inlets and the connecting tube.
