A heat exchanger is a device used for the transfer of thermal energy, and its components are crucial in influencing the performance, safety, and lifespan of the heat exchanger. The main components and their functions are as follows:

 

Located inside the shell, the baffle plate guides the flow of the medium, increasing its velocity and turbulence, thereby enhancing heat transfer efficiency.

 

A core component of the heat exchanger, the corrugated tube is primarily used to increase the heat transfer area, thus improving heat transfer efficiency. Its special corrugated shape also enhances flexibility and pressure resistance, allowing the heat exchanger to operate effectively under high pressure.

 

Positioned inside the heat exchangers shell, the tube sheet fixes the pipes, preventing displacement, vibration, and wear. It also ensures the flow direction and velocity of the medium, enhancing heat transfer efficiency.

 

This material is employed to reduce energy loss during the heat transfer process, preventing thermal energy leakage and enhancing the heat efficiency of the heat exchanger. Common thermal insulation materials include glass wool, rock wool, and aluminum silicate fiber.

 

Used to secure pipelines, the pipe clamp prevents pipe loosening or detachment, ensuring the normal flow of the medium. Additionally, it reduces the thermal expansion and contraction of the pipes, ensuring the safety and stability of the pipelines.

 

The leak detector is primarily used to monitor whether leakage occurs in the heat exchanger. It promptly alarms in the event of a leak, ensuring the safety and reliability of the equipment.

 

These are common heat exchanger components, each serving different functions. Selecting suitable components and performing correct installation and maintenance can improve the performance and lifespan of the heat exchanger, reduce operational costs, and enhance production efficiency.
