Description
iO49347 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to liquid distributing devices for use in the upper end of tubes of a vertical shell-and-tube heat exchanger and, in particular, to liquid distributing devices of the type described which are intended to provide liquid in the form of a falling film on the inside surfaces of the vertical tubes of the heat exchanger. The use of tube-and-shell heat exchangers for falling film evaporation of a~ueous solutions is well known in the art. Reference is made to the United States Patent to Bryan et al, No. 3,437,124 for an illustration of heat exchangers of this type.
In the operation of vertical shell-and-tube heat exchangers in which liquid is to be provided as a falling film on the interior of the tubes there has always been a problem of properly distributing the liquid at the top of the tube. Many devices have been proposed for such purpose.
Illustrative of such devices are those disclosed in United States Patents to Edmonds, Nos, 2,424,441; 2,949,935 and 3,016,067, to Eckstrom et al~ No. 2,753,932 and in British Patent No. 261,731 of March 10, 1927, However, in the prior art devices there are continued problems with tube corrosion and wear, scale formation and the like, particul-arly when high solid brines are being handled.

SUMMARY OF TH~ INVENTION
.. ~.
The present invention provides a liquid distribu-ting device for use in the upper end of an upright tube of a vertical tubular heat exchanger which is so designed as to minimize or eliminate the problems described above.
-2-:' lO~lg347 Briefly, the liquid distribution device of the invention comprises a ferrule having a head adapted to seat upon the upright tube, a cylindrical sleeve depending from the h~ad and adapted to fit snugly within the top portion of the tube, a bore in the head for entry of liquid from a header or manifold into the ferrule, and means to distribute liquid from the bore onto the inside surface of the cylind-rical sleeve for distribution thereby onto the inside sur-face of the upright tube as a falling film. The means to distribute liquid from the bore to the inner surfaces of the sleeve may be a cone or the like suitably mounted with-in the ferrule, with its apex in axial alignment with the bore and with its lower edge above the lower edge of the sleeve, whereby liquid entering the bore is distributed by the member onto the inner wall surface of the sleeve, ~
which in turn delivers the liquid as a falling film on the ~ `
inside wall surface of the vertical tube By this means the liquid is caused to impinge on the sleeve rather than on the tube walls. The ferrules may, of course, be readily replaced when worn or damaged and the life of the heat ex-changer tubes is thereby preserved.
Further, the ferrule of the invention preferably is provided with inclined inner walls which obviate dead spaces or spaces in which liquid can splash and cause scale build-up, In a preferred embodiment, an inside portion of the ferrule is spaced from a conical inner distributing member and has a corresponding downward and outward inclined wall~ Further, the inner wall of the lower end of the . . .
cylindrical sleeve preferably tapers outwardly to facilitate film transfer to the inner wall of the surface of the up-right tubet ~049347 The head of the ferrule is preferably of rela-tively flat disk shape to permit the passage of wipers, brushes or the like which may be used in the header of the tube bank. However, the invention is not limited to this particular head configuration.
An object of the invention, therefore, is to provide a liquid distributing device for vertical upright tubes of a tube-and-shell heat exchanger which will distri-bute fluids, in particular, high solids brines and the like, in the form of a falling film to the vertical tube without the usual corrosion and scaling difficulties~
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRA~INGS
.
Reference is made to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is an isometric pro~ection showing a cross-section through a fragmentary portion of the header of a tube-in-shell exchanger with one of the liquid distributing devices of the invention in place therein.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of a portion of the ferrule shown in FIG. 1~
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring now to FIG. 1 of the drawings, there is shown a fragmentary portion 10 of the upper tube sheet of a conventional tube-in-shell heat exchanger. The structure of such heat exchangers and the operation thereof as falling film evaporators is well known in the art and needs no further description herein~ One of the vertical upright tubes 12 of such heat exchanger is shown in place in the tube sheet 10. It will be understood that the bottom of the tube 12 is mounted in a lower tube sheet, not shown.
~4-109~9347 The liquid distributing device of the invention comprises ferrule 14, which may be molded or otherwith fabricated from any material suitable to withstand the environment in high solids evaporators. It may be fabrica-ted of metal or molded from suitable plastic. The ferrule comprises a head 16 which is disk-like in configuration and is provided with an annular flange 18 and shoulder 20, so as to seat snugly within the top of the tube 12. The head ~
16 is provided with an axial bore 22, which is of such size ~ -as to control the flow rate down the tube, The size of the bore 22 can be appropriately selected for the particular operation to which the heat exchanger is desired. It will be understood, of course, that the ferrule 14 can be con-structed in a range of diameters to fit condensor tubes of various diameters so that the device is adaptable to all ` high solids evaporators and similar heat exchangers.
A cylindrical connecting wall 24 is formed so as to provide an extension of the bore 22. This facilitates the formation of a solid column of liquid entering into the hollow body of the ferrule from the header~ This wall 24 can be of any seIected length or can be substantially elim-inated depending upon the particular system in which the ferrule is installed. A radially diverging downwardly and outwardly extending connecting wall portion 26 extends from the wall 24 to an upper portion of cylindrical sleeve portion 28, which is dimensioned to fit snugly within the tube wall 12. The lower edge of the wall 28 is preferably tapered outwaxdly, as shown at 30 in order to provide smooth distribution of li~uid flowing down the inside surface of the wall 28 to the inside surface of the tube 12.
The course of the liquid through the ferrule is shown by the arrows~
93~7 A liquid distributing member 32 is mounted by means of web 34, within the hollow portion of the ferrule 14. The dist~ibuting member 32 may be of conical shape, as shown, but is not necessarily limited to this exact con-figuration provided it has an upwardly directed apex (smaller transverse dimension) in axial alignment with the bore 22 and a lower distributing edge (larger transverse dimension) which will serve to direct the flow of liquid against the inner surface of the sleeve 28. The conical member 32, as shown, has such an apex 36 and lower edge 38, the diameter of lower edge 38 being larger than the dia-meter of bore ~ in the example illustrated.
The conical distributing member 32, as shown in FIG. 2, may be contained substantially within the inclined wall 26 or partially within and partially below this wall.
The essential feature is that it distribute liquid evenly upon the inner surface of sleeve 28 at an annular area well above the bottom of the sleeve so that the liquid can descend the inner wall of the sleeve as a falling film which is then transferred to the inner tube wall. As shown in Figure 2, the radial distance between the periphery of the tapered portion of member 32 and the inner wall of the fer-rule becomes progressively smaller towards the lower end of the tapered portion of member 32, which has been found to provide an added benefit in forming an evenly distributed film of falling liquid within sleeve 28. The flow area between the member 32 and the sleeve 28, of course, is not less than the flow area of the bore 22 to enable free flow through the ferrule of liquid passing through the bore.
Web member 34 may be streamlined as at 40 and 42 to facili-tate the smooth flow of liquid. Additional web supporting members may be provided, particularly when the ferrule is of :
large size. For example, in the larger sizes, three such supporting members may be arranged in the form of a spider.
In operation, the high solids liquid or brine or other solution to be evaporated is provided in a flood box ;
or header above the tube sheet lO in the manner known in the art to a depth required to provide the desired flow rate for the evaporator tubes. The liquid enters the bore 22 ; in the top of the distributing ferrule 14 and forms a solid column of liquid as it travels in a downward vertical direc-tion between the walls 24. This column of liquid then im-pinges on the apex 36 of the distributing cone 32, which separates the liquid into a film with decreasing thickness as it expands outward. The cone angle is selected to ap-propriately suit film thickness, tube size, flow rate and velocity requirements of the particular operation. The film then impinges on the inner surface of the cylindrical sleeve 28. This sleeve provides an erosion shield for the conden-sor tube and also allows complete filming of the tube before the liquid enters the heat transfer area. This feature prevents unwetted heat transfer surfaces of the tube 12, which are susceptible to scaling. The cone angle, veloci-ties, and flow rates can be selected to provide a low im-pingement angle 48 (FIG. 2) in order to minimize erosion of the sleeve from the high solids liquid.
The inclined wall 26 is designed to prevent splash-ing of fine solids into the upper cavity volume 50. It - will be understood that the ferrule could be made as a solid piece so as to avoid cavity 50 at the expense of using ad-ditional material. Without the provision of shielding or filling this area, fine solids may tend to build up in the cavity and possibly plug the distributor.
It can be seen that any particle of such size ~7_ .. . . .
~04934'7 which can enter the bore 22 will pass entirely through the brine distributor. Wipers, scrapers, or screens can be used to limit the particle size in a recirculating high solids brine system. It will be understood, of course, that it is possible to replace any ferrule which may inadvertently become clogged, by simply lifting out the ferrule and inserting a clean ferrule into the ex-posed tube.
which in turn delivers the liquid as a falling film on the ~ `
inside wall surface of the vertical tube By this means the liquid is caused to impinge on the sleeve rather than on the tube walls. The ferrules may, of course, be readily replaced when worn or damaged and the life of the heat ex-changer tubes is thereby preserved.
Further, the ferrule of the invention preferably is provided with inclined inner walls which obviate dead spaces or spaces in which liquid can splash and cause scale build-up, In a preferred embodiment, an inside portion of the ferrule is spaced from a conical inner distributing member and has a corresponding downward and outward inclined wall~ Further, the inner wall of the lower end of the . . .

However, the invention is not limited to this particular head configuration.
