Problems existing in the application of plate type heat exchanger for heating

2020-06-29 02:20:00 

With the development of society and the acceleration of urbanization, central heating system is becoming more and more mature. As an efficient heat exchange equipment, plate type heat exchanger is widely used in heating system due to its high heat exchange efficiency, small floor area, light weight, convenient disassembly and installation, small fouling coefficient.

At present, plate-type heat exchanger has become the core component of indirect heat exchange unit in central heating. However, in practical application, chlorine corrosion can easily lead to plate heat exchanger fouling, blockage, corrosion or perforation, and thus affect the normal operation of plate heat exchanger, bringing huge cost pressure or economic loss. Therefore, we must do a good job in plate heat exchanger plate selection, scale inhibition, corrosion, safety cleaning and other work to ensure normal production.

In the central heating system, the water is mainly composed of tap water and deep well water with high hardness. Due to the small flow interface of the plate heat exchanger, the flow velocity between the plates is relatively low, which deposits on the surface of the heat exchanger, forming secondary scaling, affecting the water quality and causing scaling and blockage of the heat exchanger. As the fouling layer's thermal conductivity is very low, the heat transfer resistance is greatly increased, and the heat transfer efficiency of plate heat exchanger is reduced to a certain extent. When a scaling layer is formed on the surface of the plate heat exchanger, the flow area of the equipment will be reduced, the resistance of the fluid flowing through the equipment will be increased, and unnecessary cost will be incurred.

The plates of the plate-type heat exchanger, although made of stainless steel, are highly resistant to corrosion, but they can be corroded if the water is high in chlorine ions. If the corrosion is carried out uniformly on the whole metal surface, the corrosion speed will not be accelerated, and the harm caused by corrosion will not be too great.If the corrosion is concentrated in a certain part of the metal surface, the corrosion speed will be accelerated and corrosion and penetration will easily occur, which will cause great harm. It will not only reduce the working efficiency of the equipment, but also greatly shorten the service life of the equipment and increase the maintenance cost. Large, not only will reduce the efficiency of equipment, but also greatly shorten the service life of equipment, increase the cost of maintenance.
