Description

HEAT EXGHANGER WITH TUBE BUNDLES :~
The present invention relates to a heat ex hanger with tube bundles, partlcularly heat exchanger ~or maintaining the exit temperature of at least one flowing medium sub-stantially unifonm on lea~ing the heat exchangerO
Such heat exchangers with tube bundles are required in many processes in which the exit temperature o~ the fluid medium~ either the medium being passed through thQ tubes, or the medium passed around the tubes, has to be maintained ac~urately within a specific temperature range~ or a~ a specific temperature.
Such an exit temperature, howPver? is affected by at : least one of the following factors~
a~ change of the inlet temperature o the medium flow-ing abou~ the exchanger tubes;
b) change in quantity of the m~dium flowi~g about the exchanger tubes;
~: c) coating of the outer surfaces of the exchanger tubes; ~ :~
d3 change in temperature of the medium 10wing through the exchanger ~ubes; ~:
e) change in quantity of the mediwm flowing through the exchanger tubes; and f~ coating of the inner surfaces of the exchanger tubes.
In order to satisfy the pertaining requiremen~s 9 it is known to provide at least one tube, the so-called partial stre~m tube9 thro~gh ~hich a partial stream of the inflow-ing medium is passed, without a change of temperature, from the pertaining e.ntry cham~er to the pertaining exit cha~ber, whereby the fluid medlum is mixed in the exit cham~er with the remainder of the medium which has ex-perienced a temperature change by flowing through the other exchanger tubes. The partial stream passing through the partial stream tube is varied through movement of a gate member to obtain an adjusted tempexature (Mischtemperatur).
The maximum flow volume which can be passed through the par~ial st~e.am tube iS9 however~ limited by the pressure loss or drop which occurs whan the medium flows through the partial stream tube. Thîs pressure loss cannot exceed the pressure loss o the medi~ ich ~lows through ~he : other exchanger tubes, whereby the range of the adjusted temperature is limited as is the range o the e~it tempera-ture of ~he medi~m which flows about the exchanger tube~.
It i5 an object of the present invention to improv~
such heat exchangers. More particularly, i-t is an objert ,~
o~ khe in~ention to provide a hea~ exchanger in which with simple and economical technical means the amo~nt of flow-: ing medium passing through the partial stream tube and the exchanger tubes can be varled from zero to lOOV/o~ whereby ::
any exit temperature can be selected which is between the temperature of the medium i~troduced into the entry cham-ber, and the temperature of this medium at closed partial
- 2 s~ream tube, upon 10wing through the exchanger tubes.
Also, aI~y exit temperature of t~e medium flowing about the tubes can be selected which is between the entxy t~nperature thereof and the maximally possible temperature deviating therefr~m.
These objects and other objects and advantages of the invention will appear more clearly from the following specifi-; cation in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
the sing1e igure is a diagrammatic side elevational view of a heat exchanger in accord~nce with one embodimentof the invention.

::
In accordance with the presen~ invention there is pro- ~
vid~d a heat exehanger~ especially heat exchanger for effect- ~.
ing heat~exchang~ between a first :Elowing medium and a se-cond flowing meditlm~ w~ereby the exit temperature of at least one of said flowing media is controlled to be substan- :
tially u~iform, said heat exchanger comprising:
a shell having at leas~ one entry cham~er having at least one inlet for recei~ing said first flowing medit~m~
at least one exit ~hamber having at least one outlet for sa~d first flowing medium; at least one inlet, and at least one outlet for said second flowing medi~ to circu-late s~me about at least some of the parts through whlch said first medium flows;
a plurality o~ tubes arranged within said shell between said at least one entry chantber and said at least one exit
- 3 -cham~er~ and adapted to commNnicate said ohambers with one another to ~-Qnvey irst 10wing medium from the entry 1 !
ohamber to the exit chambero, a partition means, operatlvely connectible to said heat exchanger~ Eor di~idin~ said at least one exit chamber into a recei~ing compartmenk adapted to receive first medium ~rom said tu~e&, and a m1xing compartment in communication with said at least one outlet for said firs~ flowing medium, said partition means having a passageway for communicating 10 said recelving compartment and said mixing compartment with :
one ~no~her;
at least one tube for conveyi.ng a partial stream of said ~irst flowing medium rom sai.d ent~y chamber towards said exit chamber, said at least one partial streEm tube ;having a widened end in, and adapt.ed to be in c~mmunication with, sald recei~ing co~partment;
at least one hollow member adapted to be moved in rela-tion to said widened end of said at least one partial stream tube between at least one irst position, in which the per- ~`
taining partial stream of said first flowing medium first flows through at least part ~f said recelving compartment, and a second position in which the pertaining partial stream of said fixst flowing medium flows substantlally directly into said mixing compartment;
at least one valve means operatively connectible to said at least one hollow member or controlling the flow of the w 4 _ ~, 3 ~

~pertaîning partial stream o said first fluid medium through said at least sne partial stream tube, said valve means be-ing ad~pted ~o he moved between a first position7 in which it terminates the flow of said paxtial stream into sai.d exit chamber~ and at least one second position, in which it per-mits flow of the pertaining partial stream i~to said exit rhamber; and actuating means operatively connectible to said at least one valve means and said at least one hollow m mber, s~id ac~ua~ing means being arranged to effect said movement of said at least one hollow member and said at least one valve means from the ~utside of said heat exchangerO
The in~ention pr~vides for a number of importan~ ad-vantages. A primary ad~antage is realized in that by means of a ~ingle adjustment movement o~ the pushrod, ~o which the hoLlow cylindrical member and the valve member are con-nected rather ri~idly7 i.e. by move~ent of a single control member, respectively~ the volume flowing through the partial stream tube and the other tubes can be controlled between zero and 100~, in the respectively oppositely directed axial dîrection of moYement of the pushrod. I~us, any aore-mentioned possible exit ~emperature of the medium passing through the exchange tubes and the medium passing about the exchange tubes can be controlled~
P~eferring now particularly ~o t'ne drawing9 the heat exchanger diagrammatically indlcated in section therein has _ 5 _ "a shell 1 in which are disposed e~changer tubes 2 and the partîal stream tube 3. The partial stream tubz 3 has an extension 4 of a di~meter w~ich is greater than the dia-meter o~ the ~ube 3, with the orifice S a~ the shuulder co~necting the widened portion and the tube being provided in a receiving compar~ment lO.
An inlet or erltry chamb~r 8 is provided for the heat excha~ger ~hich has an entry 9 for the admission of the ~lowing med:ium to be passed throug~ the exchanger ~ubes 2 ~-10 andlor th~ partîal stream tube 3. The outlet ends o the -~
tubes 2 and 3 extend into ~he receiving compartment 10. ~ !
The receiving compartment lO and a mixing compartment ll are divided from one another by a partition or partition ~ :;
means 13 having a central passagew~y 14, which is of a sui~able di~meter.
The tubes 2 and 3 are held in tube bottoms 6 and 7, with the tube bottom 7 providing one wall for the re-ceiving compartment 10) while the tube bottom 6 provides one ~all or the ent~y cha~ber 8. . ~:
A pushrod 17~ which is mova~le in the direction in-dicated by the double-headed arrows 15 and 16~ carries at its end in the heat exchanger a valve member 18. Also connected to thls end~ by mea~s of spoke-like members 19, is a hollow cylinder 20. The hollow cylinder 20 is movable within the wldened portion of tube 3 to provide an annular passage 21 towards the valve member 18. In the axial in~ermediate adjustment position indicated in the drawing~ the pushrod provides an annular passageway 22 between orifi e 5 and valve mem~er 18; and a passage way 23 between the hollow cylinder 20 and the partition 13, ~ umeral 24 designates an inlet or entry into the system for the medium which flows about the exchanger tubes 2 and the partial stream tu~e 3~ while ~umeral 25 designates the pertaining outlet or exit. The total volume of the flowing medium passing through ~he tubes, i.e. exchanger ~ubes 2 and/or partial stream ~ube 3, en~
ters in the direction indicated by the arrow 26 into the ~hamber 87 whereby by a corresponding axial adjustment .:
position of the pushrod 17 'chis mlediu~n is divided into a portion whi~h flows in the direction of arrows 27 through the system~ e. through the entry chamber, exchanger ~ubes 2~ and the receiving compartment 10, while ~he se-cond s~ream or partial stream moves in the dlrection of arrows ~8 through the partial stream tube 3. Bo~h streams can be combined in ~he mixing compartment 11, and leave in ~he direction o~ arrow 29 ~hrough the out-let or exit 12 of the heat exchanger. The medium flow~
ing about the tubes within the shell 1 moves in the di rection of arrow 30 through ~he inlet or entry 24, and lea~es the heat exchanger in the direction o~ a~row 31 through the exit or outlet 25 of the heat exchanger.
It will be appreoiated th t any desired outl~t tem-perature o~ either the medium leaving the heat exchanger through exit 12, or ~he other medium leaving the heat ex-changer through exit 25, wi~hin the possible range of tem-peratures, can be obtained by the corresponding positioning of the pushrod 17, whereby in the one position the valve member 18 is seated on the orifice 5 of the partial stream tube 3 and in the other position, the hollow cylinder 20 sealingly contacts the partition 13.
; The present i~vention is~ of course, in no way re-stricted to ~-he speci~ic disclosure of the specifîcation and drawing, but also encompasses any modifications with;n -the qcope o the appended claims.
