Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a heat transfer tube and a cracking furnace using the heat transfer tube. The heat transfer tube comprises a twisted baffle arranged in an inner wall of the tube, said twisted baffle extending spirally along an axial direction of the heat transfer tube. The twisted baffle defines a closed circle viewed from an end of the heat transfer tube. Along the trajectory of the circle a casing is arranged, which is fixedly connected to a radial inner end of the twisted baffle. The twisted baffle is provided with a plurality of holes. The heat transfer tube according to the present disclosure has a good heat transfer effect and small pressure loss.

Claims (15)

1. A cracking furnace having a radiant coil, wherein the radiant coil comprises at least one heat transfer tube,

wherein the heat transfer tube comprises a twisted baffle arranged on an inner wall of the tube, said twisted baffle extending spirally along an axial direction of the heat transfer tube, wherein the twisted baffle is provided with a plurality of holes and a ratio of a sum area of the plurality of holes to an area of the twisted baffle is in a range from 0.05:1 to 0.95:1,

wherein one single region of the heat transfer tube is provided with a plurality of twisted baffles parallel to one another, which define an enclosed circle viewed from one end of the heat transfer tube, and

wherein a casing is arranged along a trajectory of the circle, the casing being fixedly connected to a radial inner end of the twisted baffle.

2. The cracking furnace according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one heat transfer tube includes a plurality of heat transfer tubes arranged in the radiant coil along an axial direction thereof in a manner of being spaced from each other, a ratio of a spacing distance to a diameter of at least one of the plurality of heat transfer tubes is in a range from 15:1 to 75:1.

3. The cracking furnace according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one heat transfer tube includes a number of heat transfer tubes ranging from 2 to 10.

4. The cracking furnace according to claim 2 , wherein said ratio of the spacing distance to the diameter is in a range from 25:1 to 50:1.

5. The cracking furnace according to claim 1 , wherein the twisted baffle has a twist angle of between 90° to 1080°.

6. The cracking furnace according to claim 1 , wherein a diameter ratio of the circle to the at least one heat transfer tube falls within a range from 0.05:1 to 0.95:1.

7. The cracking furnace according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of an axial length of the twisted baffle to an inner diameter of the at least one heat transfer tube is in a range from 1:1 to 10:1.

8. The cracking furnace according to claim 5 , wherein said twist angle is in a range from 120° to 360°.

9. The cracking furnace according to claim 6 , wherein said diameter ratio is in a range from 0.6:1 to 0.8:1.

10. The cracking furnace according to claim 7 , wherein said ratio of the axial length to the inner diameter is in a range from 2:1 to 4.1.

11. The cracking furnace according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio is in a range from 0.6:1 to 0.8:1.

12. The cracking furnace according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of an axial distance between centerlines of two adjacent holes to an axial length of the twisted baffle ranges from 0.2:1 to 0.8:1.
