Abstract

A compressed gas cooling apparatus in which gas from an upstream compression stage enters an inlet section from an inlet opening and flows to a heat exchanger that cools the gas. The cooled gas then flows from the heat exchanger to the outlet section where the gas is discharged from an outlet opening. Pressure drop within the apparatus is decreased by providing the inlet and outlet sections with ever increasing and decreasing cross-sectional flow areas. In order to further decrease pressure drop due to a swirl within the gas flow imparted from the upstream compression stage, the inlet section is provided with first and second subsections wherein the cross-sectional flow area of the first subsection increases at lesser rate than the second subjection. Alternatively, or in addition, the inlet section can be provided with partitions to divide the gas flow into subflows in order to lessen pressure drop from swirl.

Description

Compressed Gas cooling device
Technical field
The invention provides a kind of Compressed Gas cooling device, it can play the effect of intercooler or aftercooler, and it makes between a series of compression stage or afterwards refrigerating gas.More specifically, the present invention relates to this type of cooling device: both entrance and exits have continuous increase (ever-increasing) respectively and constantly reduce the section of area of (ever-decreasing) wherein, so that gas is positioned at heat exchanger between entrance and outlet and from the heat exchanger feed gas of locating between inlet and outlet to delivering to.Even more specifically, the present invention relates to this type of cooling device: the section design of the continuous increase of entrance wherein becomes the pressure loss reduced further owing to occurring at the vortex (swirl) in the gas flow given by the upstream compression stage introduced in cooling device by Compressed Gas.
Background technology
The gas of large volume compresses in multiple commercial Application in compressibility, and compressibility has a series of level, and these grades carry out refrigerating gas with the cooling during rolling between level.In each compression stage, give the energy (being also known as the heat of compression) that gas carrys out heated air removed by intercooler.After aftercooler can be positioned on last of compression stage.
Typically, each in compression stage is formed by centrifugal compressor, and in centrifugal compressor, gas is drawn into the impeller (vaned impeller) of band leaf from entrance, impeller with leaf is driven accelerates gas, and improves pressure and the speed of gas thus.The pressure loss with the increase in speed is recovered surround impeller and can have in the diffuser of leaf (vane).Gas is from impeller drainage to helical form (spiral-like) helix tube (volute) with outlet, and gas-pressurized is from outlet drain, and gas-pressurized holds entrance.Intercooler is positioned between the outlet of upstream stage and the entrance of downstream stage.When gas (such as air) is containing moisture, the condensation of this type of moisture from intercooler and aftercooler discharge is caused, so that condensate can not be carried into downstream stage or the equipment to the technique of carrying out compressed gas consuming via the reduction in the temperature of the Compressed Gas of cooling during rolling and rear cooling.
In air separation equipment, the use with the centrifugal compressor of intercooler and aftercooler is quite common.Compressor can be driven by transmission mechanism, and in this transmission mechanism, electrical motor driven gear wheel, gear wheel driving pinion shape (pinion-like) gear, pinion shape gear is attached in each in compressor, to transfer drives impeller.Therefore, compressor is arranged in around the gear wheel with pipeline, and pipeline has elbow (bends), gas is transported (route) and transports to the intercooler between compressor or from the intercooler between compressor.As known in the art, the elbow in this type of pipeline is by the pressure drop within the gas causing through compressor.Intercooler typically is pipe and shell structure, and pipe is used to transmit (pass) cooling agent (it can be water) wherein, comes and carries out indirect heat exchange with the gas that pipe at right angles passes through.The layout of the fin penetrated by pipe for the path of gas is formed.Gas enters the shell of this type of heat exchanger by entrance bin (plenum), and at the opposite end place of shell from the discharge of outlet bin.Gas introduces from this type of bin at a right angle with shell and discharge by the entrance and exit of shell.As will be appreciated, there is the further pressure loss of arranging since then due to the change on flow direction, and similarly, there is quick increase in the cross-sectional flow area of bin from the inlet to the outlet and subsequently from outlet bin to the quick increase the cross-sectional flow area of outlet.Air separation equipment in, these pressure losses must by increase compression and the power consumption therefore increased compensate.Identical consideration is applied to other commercial Application of multi-stage compression system.
The considerable more of the placement of compressor and intercooler are freely possible, and wherein compressor independently and directly driven by high-speed permanent magnetic motor.Reducing with the cooling during rolling of gas in multi-stage compression system and the pressure drop of rear cooling from origin in the placement of compressor can be used.Such as, in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2010/0329895, centrifugal compressor is separately driven, and determines that position becomes so that the entrance of downstream compressor is orientated as relative with the outlet of upstream compressor.In addition, each entrance and exit to intercooler has the cross-sectional area and ever-reduced cross-sectional area that constantly increase respectively, with the heat exchanger be positioned between this type of section.These sections can be formed by the group of the four blocks of plates linked together with the four polyhedral layouts in side, and therefore have rectangle lateral cross flow area.The heat exchanger combining box-like housing is between these sections and in inside, heat exchanger has gas passage, and gas passage is used for the stream directly from this type of entrance zone, threshold zone and the gas to this type of exit zone.Cooling agent and gas passage at right angles pass through coolant channel.As will be appreciated, this type of layout reduces otherwise the prior art from the elbow of pipeline had between level is arranged the pressure loss caused, and due to the Rapid Variable Design of area and to heat exchanger with carry out automatic heat-exchanger and the Rapid Variable Design in the direction of stream in heat exchanger self and the pressure loss that causes.
Even in open text discussed above, also do not understand: the pressure loss is also caused by the vortex introduced in stream, flow to into intercooler or the entrance zone, threshold zone of other Compressed Gas cooling device used in conjunction with compressor and exit zone.When centrifugal compressor Compressed Gas, this type of vortex in stream is caused by impeller and diffuser arrangement.When this type of stream enters to the entrance of intercooler or aftercooler, even when entering an entrance with the area of section increased gradually, gas is tending towards being accumulated on wall and at the side place of entrance.This generates the area of low pressure of high-pressure area and this high-pressure area contiguous of wherein flowing accumulation.This causes stream to be separated from wall, and the recirculation within the entrance to intercooler or aftercooler, and this transfers the another component producing gross pressure decline.
As will be discussed, among other things, the invention provides a kind of Compressed Gas cooling device, it can play the effect of intercooler or aftercooler, and intercooler or aftercooler design reduce the pressure drop within the entrance to Compressed Gas cooling device caused from the vortex given air-flow by compressor.

Detailed description of the invention
With reference to figure 1, illustrate according to Compressed Gas cooling device 1 of the present invention.As described above, such device can play the effect of intercooler between compression stage or aftercooler, to cool the gas of discharging from compression stage that will use in downstream process.The heat exchanger 4 that device 1 has entrance zone, threshold zone 2, exit zone 3 and is connected to by entrance zone, threshold zone 2 on exit zone 3.Entrance zone, threshold zone 2 has entrance 10, to receive the air-flow " A " from not shown upstream compression stage.Upstream compression stage can be centrifugal compressor or axial compressor.In either case, the air-flow identified by the arrow " A " entering entrance 10 has the vortex to stream or rotational component indicated by curved arrow " B ".This type of vortex is flowed by the rotary part (such as, the impeller of centrifugal compressor) of compressor.
In heat exchanger 4 after cooling, air-flow " A " discharges from the outlet 12 of exit zone 3 as the such as cooling blast shown in arrow " C ".
Reference diagram 2 and 3 in addition, entrance zone, threshold zone 2 is provided with the first intake section 14, second intake section 16, and is provided with the 3rd intake section 18 alternatively.As apparent, all these parts all have the lateral cross flow area constantly increased, and this will be used for little by little reducing the speed of air-flow before air-flow enters heat exchanger 4.This will reduce due to the pressure drop in the stream of turbulent flow or loss, turbulent flow otherwise cause due to the unexpected amplification in the cross-sectional flow area from inlet opens 10 in the gas flow.But the pressure drop in air-flow or loss are also caused by the vortex " B " introduced in stream by upstream compressor." vortex " in this stream or rotation are tending towards causing gas buildup on the side of entrance zone, threshold zone 2.This accumulation then create higher-pressure region and adjacent low-pressure area.As a result, being separated in of air-flow occurs towards the place of wall district of the intake section of adjacent low-pressure area, this then cause air-flow towards Posterior circle, cause the increase on the pressure drop in air-flow.
First intake section 14 is formed by the group of four sidewalls 20,22,24,26, and they are connected to goes up each other, makes the lateral cross flow area that constantly increases be rectangular configuration.Second intake section 16 is formed by the group of another four sidewalls 28,30,32 and 34, and they are connected to goes up each other, forms again the transversal surface current of the continuous increase of rectangular configuration.Specifically, vortex " B " will be tending towards causing air-flow " A " along the sidewall 34 of the sidewall 26 of the first section 14 and the second section 16 and be positioned at the part of the adjacent wall 20,24 close to sidewall 26 place and the adjacent wall 28,32 close to sidewall 34 place and accumulate.This will be in this type of sidewall region in air-flow " A " and produce the high pressure field of force.Be arranged in the district apart from first section 14 of sidewall 26 and 34 a distance and the more center of the second section 16, stream is accumulated by this can not, and therefore has lower pressure.As described above, this pressure differential will cause air-flow " A " to be recycled to lower pressure district from elevated pressures district potentially, result in pressure drop.
But as can finding best in figure 3, the lateral cross flow area of the continuous increase of the second intake section 16 increases with the speed larger than the first intake section 14.Such effect is, is reduced with the degree less than the air-flow in the second intake section 16 by the speed of the air-flow of the first intake section 14.The fair speed of the gained of the air-flow in the first intake section 14 reduces the separation of air-flow from the wall of entrance zone, threshold zone 2 by being tending towards, and allows vortex " B " to dissipate a little before air-flow arrives the second intake section 16.Because flowing velocity also reduces along the length of the second intake section 16, therefore otherwise the pressure drop in the air-flow produced by vortex " B " and the unexpected increase on area will be reduced.Second intake section abut heat exchanger 4, and thus also serve dispensing air-flow cross heat exchanger 4.
In order to reduce the pressure drop caused by vortex " B " best, the first section 14 and the second section 16 be preferably designed so that be set to by the formula ((x-i) for oval (bell) 2/ a 2)+((y-j) 2/ b 2bell curve given by)=1 is tangent, and wherein (i, j) is oval center, a and b is respectively the half-distance on x and y-axis line.First section 14 will be derived from this bell summit, and the second section 16 terminates at this bell bottom (mount) place.Even more preferably, the first section 14 has the length-width ratio between 0.4 to 0.5.This length-width ratio by with such as seen by the joint of the first section 14 and the second section 16 Breadth Maximum of the first section 14 record divided by its length.Second section 16 preferably has the length-width ratio between 0.2 to 0.4.This length-width ratio by with such as seen by the joint of the second section 16 and heat exchanger 4 Breadth Maximum of the second section 16 record divided by its length.
Although the first intake section 14 and the second intake section 16 reduce the pressure drop in air-flow by being tending towards alone for the above reasons, but preferably, the rectangular cross section flow area of the first intake section 14 is divided into first group of sub-channel, such as, sub-channel 36, and the second intake section 16 is divided into second group of sub-channel again, such as, sub-channel 38.These rectangles again portions are used for reducing pressure drop further by the side that prevents air-flow to be accumulated in intake section 2 due to vortex " B ".First group of sub-channel 36 is formed by the first set isolation element 40 and 42 of locating each other in right angle, and second group of sub-channel 38 is formed by the group of separating element 40 and 42 and 44 and 46.The length of separating element 40 and 42 extend through first intake section 14 and the second intake section 16.Separating element 44 and 46 is limited to the second intake section 16, and locates each other in right angle.As illustrated, each in sub-channel 36 and 38 is rectangular configuration, and each is, and area constantly increases.
