Background
The heat exchanger is a device for transferring heat from one fluid to another fluid without mixing the fluids, and various types of heat exchangers exist at present, such as a double pipe heat exchanger, a plate heat exchanger, a spiral plate heat exchanger, a plate shell heat exchanger and the like, and the double pipe heat exchanger can bear larger pressure when working due to simple structure, has small obstruction (pressure drop) on heat exchange fluid and is widely applied.
The main structure of the double-pipe heat exchanger is that an outer pipe is sleeved on an inner pipe, two ends of the outer pipe are welded with the inner pipe through pipe caps or cone shells, so that a group of sleeves are formed, a plurality of groups of sleeves are used for connecting the inner pipe in series through U-shaped elbows, the outer pipe is connected in series through pipe orifices, one fluid flows in the inner pipe, the other fluid flows in a gap between the inner pipe and the outer pipe, and heat exchange is carried out on two cold and hot fluids through the inner pipe wall.
The inventors have found that conventional double pipe heat exchangers suffer from the following drawbacks during long term use of the double pipe heat exchanger:
1. Because the inner tube and the outer tube are longer straight tubes, when the metal temperature difference between the inner tube and the outer tube is larger or the metal expansion amount generated by different materials of the inner tube and the outer tube is different, larger temperature difference stress can be generated in the inner tube and the outer tube, in order to reduce the temperature difference stress, an expansion joint is added on the outer tube, the cost is increased due to the arrangement of the expansion joint, and the leakage risk is increased due to the fact that more welding joints are added.
2. When in actual use, the effective heat exchange area is only the part of the inner tube covered by the outer tube, the part of the inner tube extending out of the outer tube and the U-shaped elbow part can not perform the heat transfer function, and the part between the connecting tube orifice between the outer tube and the connecting piece between the inner tube and the outer tube, the medium flow forms a dead zone, and the heat transfer effect is poor.
3. The inner pipe and the outer pipe are welded by using a pipe cap or a conical shell, each group of the pipes are connected in series by using a U-shaped elbow pipe, a pipe orifice and a flange, and the elements and the connecting joints are numerous, so that the material and processing cost is increased, and the leakage risk is increased.
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention provides a spiral double-pipe heat exchanger.
