Definitions
- the invention relates to a high performance shell and tube heat exchanger for obtaining high overall heat transfer coefficients at low pressure drops and low flow rates in said shell and tube heat exchangers.
- the invention relates to a shell and tube heat exchanger comprising :
- Such shell and tube heat exchangers are already known, as disclosed in DE-A-2 410 292.
- the segmental baffles of the exchanger described in DE-A-2 410 292 have a segmented baffle angle of 60° or 120°, and are oriented so as to form a twist angle of 60° or 120° respectively ; furthermore, smooth tubes are used.
- fluted or corrugated tubes in a shell and tube heat exchanger are generally known for increasing the heat transfer area, as described in US-A-3 696 863.
- the heat exchanger illustrated at figure 8 of this patent also comprises segmented baffles oriented so as to form a twist angle of 180° creating an undulating flow path (reference 42).
- the baffles are located a distance apart of at least 0.7 times the diameter of the baffle but not greater than 6 times the diameter of the baffle. With such a space between adjacent baffles, a natural spiral and wave-like pattern of fluid flowing through the shell and tube heat exchanger is easy to form.
- Figure 1 shows a cutaway view of a typical shell and tube heat exchanger with the segmented baffles therein
- Figure 2 shows the same cutaway view of the baffles and shell without the individual tubes of the shell and tube heat exchanger.
- FIG. 1 a central portion 1 of a typical shell and tube heat exchanger is shown.
- Typical flanges for enclosing the shell ends, inlet and outlet piping portions and tube sheets or tube end walls are not shown in the diagram but would be well known to those skilled in the art.
- This heat exchanger consists of a housing or shell portion 2 shown in cutaway views having therein a plurality of fluted tubes 3. These tubes can be arranged within the heat exchanger in a typical spaced pattern, and the number and size of the tubes Will vary depending on the type of heat exchanger one is using.
- the fluid or material to be cooled is typically, though not necessarily always, within the shell 2 of the heat exchanger 1 flowing in one direction whereas the heat exchange fluid inside of the tubes 3 flows in the opposite direction.
- the tubes 3 are continuously fluted 9, along substantially the complete tube length, except for each tube end 8, where the tube surface is smooth to permit a proper seal or tube end attachment to a separating tube end wall at the ends of tubes which encloses and seals the outside of all tube ends from the outer shell region 10.
- baffles 4 Located within the shell and tube heat exchanger 1 are a plurality of segmented-circular baffles 4, 5, 6, and 7. These baffles are in the form of a circular segment having an arc of 180° (segmented baffle angle). These baffles are provided in the heat exchanger 1 such that adjacent baffles are oriented at an angle of 90° (twist angle) as illustrated in the figures.
- the baffles are constructed with holes such that they fit snugly over the plurality of tubes 3 provided within the heat exchanger and would prevent the flow of fluid outside the tubes where the baffle is located since the baffle forms a wall against fluid flowing in the direction of the baffle, thereby causing a rotating flow direction or a combination rotating flow with undulating flow pattern.
- the plurality of baffles 4 through 7 are oriented at an angle of 90° from each other in such a way so that fluid flowing within the shell 2 forms a helical spiral configuration (shown as B 15) as it flows along.
- a portion of the fluid also flows in a wavelike undulating pattern (shown as 16), and it is the combination of the wawelike undulating pattern along with the spiral helical flow pattern that brings about the higher heat transfer efficiency of this type of shell and tube heat exchanger.
- the baffles can be constructed of any material such as for example metal or other material which preferably is noncorrosive to the fluid flowing therethrough.
- segmented baffle angle of the baffles is shown in figure 2 as 180°, one skilled in the art would realize that any segmented baffle angle slightly more or less than 180° would be satisfactory, with a variation of some degrees from the precise value of 180°.
- the baffles are spaced apart in the shell and tube heat exchanger at such a distance as to provide a natural spiral helical and wave-like flow path of any fluid therethrough.
- the baffles must be located a distance apart at least 0.7 times the diameter of the baffle or shell but not greater than 6.0 times the diameter of the shell and cannot be at such a close or extremely far distance so that any spiral and wave-like pattern of fluid flowing therethrough would be difficult to form.
- baffles have an outside diametric clearance to fit within the shell with ease.
- the baffles are not physically attached to the inside wall of the shell, but rather held in position axially by rods (not shown) which parallel the tubes. Therefore, it is.conceivable that the baffles can vibrate within the shell due to the clearance tolerances.
- segmental baffles at 180° twist positions as shown at figure 8 of US-A-3 696 863 hereabove cited, could vibrate over a greater distance in the direction perpendicular to the straight cut segment side, than in any other direction.
- each second baffle at about 90° will also prevent vibration in the assembly by means of alternate supporting baffle orientation of the straight edge.
- the above description refers to an illustration of the invention and is not intended to be limitative thereof.
- the invention includes consideration for any generic type of segmental baffle, such as single, double, triple, or any multiple-segmental baffle component.
