Description
Phase-change heat exchanger Technical Field The application relates to the technical field of efficient heat exchange, in particular to a phase-change heat exchanger. Background The fluoroplastic heat exchanger has the advantages of corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, large heat transfer coefficient, light weight, long service life, low operation and maintenance cost and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of petroleum, chemical industry, pharmacy, textile, printing and dyeing, transportation, electric power, military industry and the like. The main problems of the traditional fluoroplastic heat exchanger include: 1) The plurality of groups of cooling pipes in the heat exchanger are orderly arranged, so that the flow resistance is high; 2) As the hot fluid is cooled, water vapor, soluble particulate matter, gaseous condensable particulate matter, soluble salts and the like in the hot fluid are condensed into liquid which adheres to the cooling pipes and falls to the bottom of the heat exchanger to be discharged under the action of gravity. However, because the cooling pipes are densely arranged, condensed liquid is easy to accumulate, and the heat exchange efficiency is seriously affected; 3) Gaps are always formed between the cooling pipes and the wall surfaces of the cooler, particularly the positions where the cooling pipes bend back, which can cause uneven flow of hot fluid and further reduce heat exchange efficiency.
