Abstract

The heat exchange device ( 200 ) includes a primary heat exchanger ( 10 ), a secondary heat exchanger ( 20 ), and a connecting pipe ( 60 ). The connecting pipe connects the primary heat exchanger and the secondary heat exchanger. The primary heat exchanger ( 10 ) includes a primary heat exchange part ( 11 ), a shell plate ( 12 ) surrounding the primary heat exchange part, and a body pipe part ( 13 ) for cooling the shell plate. The body pipe part ( 13 ) is disposed closer to a burner than the primary heat exchange part ( 11 ) and is connected to the connecting pipe ( 60 ). The primary heat exchange part ( 11 ) includes a first heat transfer tube part ( 111 ) connected to the body pipe part ( 13 ), and a second heat transfer tube part ( 112 ) connected to the first heat transfer tube part and disposed on a side opposite to the body pipe part with respect to the first heat transfer tube part.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A heat exchange device, capable of recovering a sensible heat and a latent heat of a combustion gas supplied from a burner, the heat exchange device comprising:
a primary heat exchanger for recovering the sensible heat of the combustion gas;
a secondary heat exchanger disposed on a side opposite to the burner with respect to the primary heat exchanger for recovering the latent heat of the combustion gas; and
a connecting pipe connecting the primary heat exchanger and the secondary heat exchanger,
wherein the primary heat exchanger comprises a primary heat exchange part, a shell plate surrounding a periphery of the primary heat exchange part, and a body pipe part for cooling the shell plate,
the body pipe part is disposed closer to the burner than the primary heat exchange part and is connected to the connecting pipe, and
the primary heat exchange part comprises a first heat transfer tube part that is connected to the body pipe part, and a second heat transfer tube part that is connected to the first heat transfer tube part and is disposed on a side opposite to the body pipe part with respect to the first heat transfer tube part,
wherein the body pipe part extends horizontally along a periphery of the shell plate and is disposed along inner surfaces including a pair of side surfaces and a back surface of the shell plate,
wherein the first heat transfer tube part is disposed above the second heat transfer tube part in an up-down direction,
wherein the first heat transfer tube part is located between the body pipe part and the second heat transfer tube part in the up-down direction, and the second heat transfer tube part is located between the first heat transfer tube part and the secondary heat exchanger in the up-down direction.

2. The heat exchange device according to claim 1 , wherein the primary heat exchanger comprises a first inlet part connected to the body pipe part, and a first outlet part connected to the second heat transfer tube part,
the secondary heat exchanger comprises a second inlet part for introducing water to the secondary heat exchanger, and a second outlet part connected to the first inlet part via the connecting pipe, and
the first inlet part, the first outlet part, the second inlet part, and the second outlet part are all disposed to open in a same direction.

3. The heat exchange device according to claim 2 , wherein the second outlet part is disposed closer to the burner than the second inlet part.

4. A heat source machine, comprising:
the heat exchange device according to claim 1 ; and
the burner capable of supplying the combustion gas in an order of the primary heat exchanger and the secondary heat exchanger.
