Abstract

A heat exchanger, comprising at least a double shell, wherein the lower portion of the inner space of the inner shell is filled with liquid phase change medium, and at least one coiler is provided in the upper portion. The heated fluid flows in the coiler. After the downstream side pipe of the coiler is pierced through the inner shell, at least one surrounding pipe is formed in the cavity between the double shells. The bottom heat exchange plate of heat exchanger of the inner shell is located above the heat source. The cavity between the two shells forms the flue gas passage. After bottom heat exchange plate of the inner shell is heated by the heat source, the flue gas rises from the bottom of perimeter of the inner shell along the flue gas passage and the heat is transferred to the heated fluid in the surrounding pipe. The heat device using the heat exchanger according to the present invention can significantly improve the efficiency of heat utilization.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A heat exchanger comprising:
a boiling-condensing heat transfer, which comprises a closed container having at least two layers of shells, a lower portion of the container is filled with a liquid phase change medium, at least one first heat exchange tube is provided at the upper portion of the container fluid being heated flows in the first heat exchange tube;
at least one second heat exchange tube, which is a downstream side pipe of the at least one first heat exchange tube formed in a cavity between the double shells;
a heater, which comprises a heat source and a bottom heat exchange plate of the container located above the heat source;
a flue gas passage, which comprises a cavity between the two shells;
after the bottom heat exchange plate of the container is heated by the heat source, in the boiling-condensing heat transfer the vaporized liquid phase change medium is condensed by the first exchange tube to heat the fluid therein by a boiling-condensing heat exchange; in the flue gas passage the fluid in the second heat exchange tube is heated by heat exchange with flue gas.

2. The heat exchanger according to claim 1 , wherein the outer shell of the double-shell is made of a heat-insulating material, or the outer shell is wrapped around by a heat-insulating material.

3. The heat exchanger according to claim 1 , wherein the first heat exchange tube and the second heat exchange tube are integrally formed by one tube.

4. The heat exchanger according to claim 1 , wherein the first heat exchange tube is subjected to a hydrophobic treatment.

5. The heat exchanger according to claim 1 , wherein connection parts between the first heat exchange tube and the second heat exchange tube with the closed container are sealed.

6. The heat exchanger according to claim 1 , wherein a central portion of the inner space of the closed container is provided with a filter screen for liquid-resistant vapor-through adjacent to the boiling side of the liquid phase change medium.

7. The heat exchanger according to claim 1 , wherein a top of the outer shell of the double shell is provided with an induced draft fan for pumping the flue gas in the flue gas passage.

8. The heat exchanger according to claim 1 wherein the second heat exchange tube is surrounded within a cavity between the double shells, and a fin is provided on the wall of the second heat exchange tube.

9. A water heater comprising the heat exchanger according to claim 1 .

10. A three-heating core phase change gas water heater comprising:
a three-layer heating cores, a first heating core is a remaining flue gas heat exchange section, a second heating core is a vacuum phase change heat exchange section of an inner closed shell, a third heating core is a flue gas swept around the pipeline heat exchange part around the heat exchange chamber; the three-layer heating cores comprises three layer of shells, which are a first, a second and a third shells from outside to inside, respectively; a third heating core area is located between the second and the third layer of the shell;
the first shell is the outermost shell, a heat exchange tube is provided at the left top, the first heating core area is located in a gap between the first shell and second shell, a burner is arranged at a bottom of the second shell, the third shell is located above the burner, and a spiral heat exchange tube is arranged outside the third shell, the heat exchange tube is finned to strengthen the heat exchange, this area is the third heating core area, inside the third shell is the second heating core area, that is, the phase change heat exchanger, an upper part of the phase change heat exchanger is arranged with a heat exchange water pipe and a lower part is a phase change medium, the heat exchange tube enters the first, second and third heating core area for heat exchange, successively;
the water pipe is one pipe from beginning to end, and the burner is arranged below the lower plate of the phase change heat exchanger, the flue gas flows upward along the gap between the second and third shells and finally discharged from the upper part of the water heater.
