Abstract

An den oberen Enden vertikaler Stützen (1) ist ein Stahlring (2) befestigt, an welchem sowohl radial einwärts als auch radial auswärts ragende Tragarme (5) befestigt sind. An jedem Tragarm (5) ist eine rechteckförmige Wärmetauscherplatte (6) mit ihrem oberen Schmalrand frei nach unten hängend aufgehängt. Zwischen die Platten (6) ragende Drahtbügel (10) verhindern z.B. unter Windeinfluss auftretendes Durchbiegen, Ausschwenken und gegenseitiges Berühren der Platten. Gegenseitige, den freien Durchlass zwischen den Platten störende Abstützmittel, wie sie bei Plattenstapeln notwendig sind, fallen weg.A steel ring (2) is attached to the upper ends of vertical supports (1), to which support arms (5) projecting both radially inwards and radially outwards are attached. A rectangular heat exchanger plate (6) with its upper narrow edge is freely suspended from each support arm (5). Wire brackets (10) protruding between the plates (6) prevent e.g. bending, swiveling and mutual contact of the plates under the influence of wind. Mutual support means which interfere with the free passage between the plates, as are necessary in the case of plate stacks, are eliminated.

Description

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine Wärmeaustauschanlage, die an einem Träger im Abstand voneinander montierte Wärmetauscherplatten aufweist, deren Wärmeträgerkanäle miteinander verbunden sind.The invention relates to a heat exchange system which has heat exchanger plates mounted on a support at a distance from one another, the heat transfer channels of which are connected to one another.

Es sind Wärmeaustauschanlagen dieser Art bekannt, bei welchen die Wärmetauscherplatten im Abstand übereinander liegen und so einen vertikalen Stapel bilden. Zur Erzielung möglichst grosser Wärmeabgabe- bzw. Aufnahmeleistung müssen relativ grossflächige, aber dünne, eine Vielzahl von engen Wärmeträgerkanälen aufweisende- Platten, zweckmässig aus Kunststoff, verwendet werden. Das einwandfreie.Stapeln solcher Wärmetauscherplatten ist meist schwierig, da insbesondere auch bei Vereisung, ein zu starkes Durchbiegen der Platten unter ihrem Gewicht verhindert oder unschädlich gemacht werden muss, was entweder zu grossen Plattenabständen mit entsprechend geringer Raumausnützung oder zu relativ.komplizierten Stützkonstruktionen zwischen den Platten führt.Heat exchange systems of this type are known in which the heat exchanger plates are spaced one above the other and thus form a vertical stack. In order to achieve the greatest possible heat output or absorption power, relatively large-area but thin plates, expediently made of plastic and having a multiplicity of narrow heat transfer channels, must be used. Flawless stacking of such heat exchanger plates is usually difficult because, especially in the case of icing, excessive bending of the plates under their weight must be prevented or rendered harmless, which either results in large plate spacing with a correspondingly low space utilization or in relatively complicated support structures between the plates leads.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Wärmeaustauschanlagetzu schaffen, bei welcher eine Vielzahl relativ grossflächiger und damit meist wenig formstabiler Wärmetauscherplatten auf relativ kleinem Raum-untergebracht werden können, und bei welchen die Einhaltung des notwendigen Plattenabstandes zwecks Schaffung einwandfreier Durchströmkanäle mit einfachen Mitteln sichergestellt ist.The present invention has for its object to provide a heat exchange system t , in which a large number of relatively large and therefore usually less dimensionally stable heat exchanger plates can be accommodated in a relatively small space, and in which the maintenance of the necessary plate spacing in order to create flawless flow channels with simple means is ensured.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei der erfindungsgemässen Wärmeaustauschanlage dadurch erreicht, dass die Wärmetauscherplatten längs eines oberen Plattenrandes frei nach unten hängend an horizontalen einerends an dem auf Stützen angeordneten Träger befestigten Tragarmen aufgehängt sind.This object is achieved in the heat exchange system according to the invention in that the heat exchanger plates are suspended freely downwards along an upper plate edge on horizontal support arms which are fastened at one end to the carrier arranged on supports.

Als besonders vorteilhaft hat sich eine Ausführungsform erwiesen, bei welcher der Träger einen auf Vertikalstützen befestigten, horizontalen Ring aufweist, an welchem Ring ein erster Satz von in gleichmässigen Umfangsabständen radial einwärts ragenden Tragarmen befestigt ist, deren Länge kleiner ist als der Ringradius, sowie ein zweiter Satz von zu den Tragarmen des ersten Satzes umfangsversetzten radial auswärtsragenden Tragarmen gleicher Länge, wobei an jedem Tragarm eine rechteckförmige Wärmetauscherplatte frei nach unten hängend mit einer oberen Schmalseite befestigt ist.An embodiment has proven to be particularly advantageous in which the carrier has a horizontal ring fastened on vertical supports, to which ring a first set of support arms projecting at uniform circumferential intervals, the length of which is smaller than the ring radius, and a second one are fastened Set of radially outwardly projecting support arms of the same length, offset circumferentially from the support arms of the first set, a rectangular heat exchanger plate being attached to each support arm in a freely hanging manner with an upper narrow side.

Das Aufhängen der meist relativ dünnen, und damit meist wenig formstabilen Wärmetauscherplatten an horizontalen Tragarmen gestattet das Zusammenfassen einer grossen Zahl von Wärmetauscherplatten in relativ grossen Anlagen, ohne dass relativ komplizierte Einspannrahmen und die benachbarten Platten direkt gegeneinander abstützende Elemente erforderlich sind.The hanging of the mostly relatively thin, and therefore mostly not dimensionally stable heat exchanger plates on horizontal support arms allows the combination of a large number of heat exchanger plates in relatively large systems, without the need for relatively complicated clamping frames and the adjacent plates supporting elements are required.

Die Erfindung ist im folgendeh anhand der Zeichnung beispielsweise näher erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 schematisch und in Draufsicht 'einen Sektor einer Turmanlage nach der Erfindung,
  • Fig. 2 in grösserem Massstab einen Vertikalschnitt nach der Linie A - A in Fig. 1 durch die obere Turmpartie,

  • Fig. 5 in Seitenansicht die eine Randpartie der Wärmetauscherplatte nach Fig. 4.
The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, for example. The drawing shows:
  • 1 schematically and in plan view 'a sector of a tower system according to the invention,
  • 2 on a larger scale a vertical section along the line A - A in Fig. 1 through the upper part of the tower,
  • 3 in horizontal section a support arm holder with attached inner support arm,
  • 4 is a sectional front view of FIG. 3 with an outer support arm and a heat exchanger plate suspended thereon, and FIG.
  • 5 shows a side view of an edge portion of the heat exchanger plate according to FIG. 4.

Die gezeichnete,.turmartige Wärmeaustauschanlage besitzt eine Mehrzahl (z.B. vier) von auf einem Kreis angeordneten U-Profilstützen 1, deren obere Enden durch einen horizontalen Flachstahlring 2 miteinander verbunden sind. Z.B. etwa in halber Stützenhöhe ist an den Stützen ein weiterer horizontaler Stahlring 3 (Fig. 2) befestigt. Dadurch ist ein stabiles zylindrisches Turmgerüst geschaffen. Auf dem Stahlring 2 sitzen U-Profilstücke 4, deren vertikale Schenkel mit ihrem Rücken innen am Stahlring 2 anliegende Sicken 4a, 4b aufweisen. Jedes der U-Profilstücke 4 besitzt am radial innen liegenden Schenkel eine mittig angeordnete vertikale und im Querschnitt teilzylindrische Sicke 4a und am radial äusseren Schenkel zwei zur Vertikalen um einige, z.B. zwischen 5° und 15°, zweckmässig um 6° nach der gleichen Seite hin geneigte und zur Sicke 4a seitlich versetzte analoge Sicken 4b. Die Anordnung der U-Profilstücke 4 auf dem Stahlring 2 bzw. der gegenseitige Abstand der beiden Sicken 4b sind so gewählt, dass die Zahl der unter sich gleichen Abstand aufweisenden, bezüglich der Turmachse radial einwärts blickenden Sikken 4a halb so gross ist wie die Zahl der unter sich ebenfalls gleichen Abstand aufweisenden, radial auswärts blickenden Sicken 4b. In jeder dieser Sicken 4a, 4b sitzt der im Querschnitt entsprechend runde Rücken am geschlossenen Ende eines bügelartigen Tragarmes 5. Diese entsprechend dem Sickenverlauf vertikal bzw. schwach geneigt am U-Profilstück 4 festgeschweissten Tragarme 5 besitzen.in ihren beiden, im Abstand parallel zueinander verlaufenden flachen Schenkeln je eine nach aussen gewölbte längsverlaufende mittlere Versteifungssicke 5a. Da die Tragarme 5 gruppenweise an einzelnen Profilstücken 4 und nicht direkt am Stahlring 2 befestigt sind, ist Lagerung, Transport und Montage der Einzelteile der Turmanlage erheblich erleichtert.The drawn, tower-like heat exchange system has a plurality (for example four) of U-shaped supports 1 arranged on a circle, the upper ends of which are connected to one another by a horizontal flat steel ring 2. For example, another horizontal steel ring 3 (FIG. 2) is attached to the supports at about half the height of the supports. This creates a stable cylindrical tower frame. U-profile pieces 4 sit on the steel ring 2, the vertical legs of which have beads 4a, 4b which rest against the inside of the steel ring 2 with their backs. Each of the U-profile pieces 4 has on the radially inner leg a centrally arranged vertical and partially cylindrical cross section 4a and on the radially outer leg two to the vertical by a few, for example between 5 ° and 15 °, expediently by 6 ° towards the same side inclined and ver to the side 4a ver set analog beads 4b. The arrangement of the U-profile pieces 4 on the steel ring 2 or the mutual spacing of the two beads 4b are chosen so that the number of the spacing between the same, with a radially inward view of the tower axis 4a is half as large as the number of under equally spaced, radially outward facing beads 4b. In each of these beads 4a, 4b the cross section, which is round in cross-section, sits at the closed end of a bracket-like support arm 5. These have support arms 5 welded vertically or slightly inclined to the U-profile piece 4 in accordance with the course of the beads flat legs each have an outwardly curved longitudinal stiffening bead 5a. Since the support arms 5 are attached in groups to individual profile pieces 4 and not directly to the steel ring 2, storage, transport and assembly of the individual parts of the tower system are made considerably easier.

Zwischen die beiden Schenkel eines jeden Tragarmes 5 ist der obere schmalseitige Rand einer rechteckförmigen Wärmetauscherplatte 6 eingesetzt, deren Länge ein Vielfaches ihrer Breite beträgt. Die zweckmässig aus Kunststoff bestehenden, an sich z.B. aus der CH-PS ...... ( G 5323/83) bekannten Wärmetauscher/platten 6 besitzen einen Plattenkörper 7 mit einer Vielzahl von längsverlaufenden Kanälen 7a (Fig.5), die an den Schmalseiten des Plattenkörpers in einen, in einem stumpf angeschweissten, im Querschnitt U-förmigen Kanalstück 8 gebildeten Verteil- bzw. Sammelkanal 8a münden;die Kanalstücke 8 sind an einem Längsende mit einem Anschlussstutzen 8b versehen. Die Kanalstücke 8 besitzen eine etwas grössere Wandstärke als der Plattenkörper 7, sodass am Uebergang der beiden Plattenteile 7,8 eine schmale Schulter gebildet ist, mit welcher die Wärmetauscherplatten 6, deren Plattenkörperdicke dem Abstand der Schenkel'-des Tragarmes 5 entspricht, auf der oberen Schmalseite dieser Tragarmschenkel aufliegen. Wie bei 9 in den Fig. 1 und 3 angedeutet, sind die freien Schenkelenden des Tragarms 5 durch eine Schraube miteinander verbunden, die ein unerwünschtes Spreizen der Tragarmschenkel verhindern und es gestatten, die Wärmetauscherplatte 6 unter leichtem Anpressdruck im Tragarm 5 festzuklemmen. Selbstverständlich ist die radiale Länge der (unter sich gleich langen) Tragarme 5 erheblich kleiner als der Radius des Stahlringes 2, und der gegenseitige Abstand der radial inneren Tragarme 5 ist so gewählt, dass ihre radial inneren Enden und damit auch ihre radial inneren Längsränder der an ihnen aufgehängten Wärmetauscherplatten 6 noch genügend Abstand voneinander aufweisen, um sich nicht zu berühren.Between the two legs of each support arm 5, the upper narrow edge of a rectangular heat exchanger plate 6 is inserted, the length of which is a multiple of its width. The expediently made of plastic, known per se, for example, from CH-PS ...... (G 5323/83), have 6 heat exchangers / plates have a plate body 7 with a plurality of longitudinal channels 7a (Fig.5) which the narrow sides of the plate body open into a distribution or collection channel 8a formed in a butt welded, cross-sectionally U-shaped channel piece 8; the channel pieces 8 are provided at one longitudinal end with a connecting piece 8b. The channel pieces 8 have a slightly larger wall thickness than the plate body per 7, so that at the transition of the two plate parts 7, 8 a narrow shoulder is formed, with which the heat exchanger plates 6, whose plate body thickness corresponds to the distance between the legs ' of the support arm 5, rest on the upper narrow side of these support arm legs. As indicated at 9 in FIGS. 1 and 3, the free leg ends of the support arm 5 are connected to each other by a screw, which prevent undesired spreading of the support arm legs and allow the heat exchanger plate 6 to be clamped in the support arm 5 under a slight contact pressure. Of course, the radial length of the (equally long) support arms 5 is considerably smaller than the radius of the steel ring 2, and the mutual distance between the radially inner support arms 5 is selected so that their radially inner ends and thus also their radially inner longitudinal edges of the they have suspended heat exchanger plates 6 still have a sufficient distance from each other so as not to touch

Dank des zylindrischen Turmaufbaus der Anlage mit den frei nach unten hängend an den radialen Tragarmen 5 aufgehängten Wärmetauscherplatten 6 ist eine im Freien aufstellbare kompakte Wärmeaustauschanlage geschaffen, die mit geringem, baulichem Aufwand eine bezogen auf das Turmvolumen sehr grosse Wärmeaustauschfläche unterzubringen gestattet, die nicht nur von unten, oben und radial aussen, sondern, dank des radial inneren plattenfreien Turmraumes, auch von innen her für die als äusseres Wärmeträgermedium dienende Luft zugänglich ist. Dank der leichten Neigung der radial äusseren Wärmetauscherplatten 6 wird erreicht, dass die Luftschichten zwischen den radial äusseren Platten mit den Luftschichten der radial inneren Platten zueinander leicht geneigt sind, was beim radialen Durchströmen von Luft zu einem entsprechenden Auftrennen und Vermischen der verschiedenen Luftströme am Uebergang vom einen ringförmig angeordneten Plattensatz zum andern führt; die Wärmeaufnahme bzw. Abgabe zwischen der Luft und dem in den Platten zirkulierenden Wärmeträger kann dadurch erheblich verbessert werden. Obwohl beim gezeichneten Beispiel die radial innen angeordneten Wärmetauscherplatten 6 vertikal nach unten hängend aufgehängt sind, könnten auch diese Platten zur Vertikalen geneigt sein, und zwar im gleichen Neigungssinn wie die radial äusseren Platten, oder im dazu entgegengesetzten Neigungssinn. Um die. geneigten Platten 6 am Durchbiegen in die Vertikalrichtung zu hindern, können von den Tragarmen 5 von oben nach unten führende Sicherungsdrähte vorgesehen sein, welche die Schräglage der Platten von oben bis unten gewährleisten.Thanks to the cylindrical tower structure of the system with the heat exchanger plates 6 hanging freely downwards on the radial support arms 5, a compact heat exchange system that can be set up outdoors is created, which allows a very large heat exchange surface to be accommodated with little construction effort, not only by below, above and radially outside, but, thanks to the radially inner plate-free tower space, is also accessible from the inside for the air serving as the external heat transfer medium. Thanks to the slight inclination of the radially outer heat exchanger plates 6, it is achieved that the air layers between the radially outer plates with the air layers of the radially inner plates to one another are slightly inclined, which leads to a corresponding separation and mixing of the different air flows at the transition from one ring-shaped plate set to the other when air flows radially through it; the heat absorption or emission between the air and the heat carrier circulating in the plates can thereby be considerably improved. Although in the example shown the radially inner heat exchanger plates 6 are suspended vertically hanging downwards, these plates could also be inclined to the vertical, in the same direction of inclination as the radially outer plates, or in the opposite direction of inclination. To the. To prevent inclined plates 6 from bending in the vertical direction, leading wires 5 can be provided from the support arms 5 from top to bottom, which ensure the inclined position of the plates from top to bottom.

Bei relativ langen (z.B. 3 bis 6 m) Wärmetauscherplatten 6, die meist nur 40 bis 50 cm breit sind, kann es notwendig sein, Mittel vorzusehen, welche die freihängenden Platten daran hindern, z.B. unter Windeinfluss, sich mit ihren unteren Randpartien zu stark zu nähern bzw. gar zu berühren. Zu diesem Zweck sind beim gezeichneten Beispiel am unteren Stahlring 3 (es könnten auch zwei solche im vertikalen Abstand voneinander angeordnete zusätzliche Stahlringe 3 an den Stützen:1 vorgesehen sein) radial zwischen die Platten 6 ragende Stahldrahtbügel 10 befestigt. Die Breite dieser horizontal liegenden Bügel 10 ist so gewählt, dass sie die korrekt hängenden Platten 6 praktisch berühren und so deren gegenseitigen Abstand festlegen, so dass ein Auslenken der Platten, z.B. durch Windeinfluss, verhindert und ein gegenseitiges Berühren dieser Platten einwandfrei verunmöglicht ist. Anderseits können die z.B. aus relativ dünnem Stahldraht gebildeten Bügel 10 den Luftdurchtritt zwischen den Platten nicht merkbar stören.In the case of relatively long (for example 3 to 6 m) heat exchanger plates 6, which are usually only 40 to 50 cm wide, it may be necessary to provide means which prevent the freely hanging plates from becoming too strong with their lower edge portions, for example under the influence of wind approach or even touch. For this purpose, in the example shown, steel wire brackets 10 projecting radially between the plates 6 are fastened to the lower steel ring 3 (two such additional steel rings 3 arranged at a vertical distance from one another on the supports: 1). The width of these horizontally lying brackets 10 is selected so that they practically touch the correctly hanging plates 6 and thus determine their mutual distance, so that deflection of the plates, for example due to wind, prevents them and mutual contact of these plates is problem-free is freely impossible. On the other hand, the brackets 10 formed, for example, of relatively thin steel wire cannot noticeably disrupt the passage of air between the plates.

Zusätzlich zu den den Plattenabstand gewährleistenden Stahldrahtbügeln 10 können an einem im Bereich der unteren Schmalseiten der freihängenden Wärmetauscherplatten 6 an den Stützen 1 angebrachten Stahlring mit den zugeordneten Tragarmen 5 in vertikaler Flucht bzw. entsprechend der Neigung der radial äusseren Platten seitlich versetzt angeordnete U-Profile befestigt sein, in welchen die unteren Kanalstücke 8 der Wärmetauscherplatten 6 sowohl gegen seitliches Ausschwenken als auch gegen Herabfallen gesichert sind. In diesem Fall verhindern die Stahldrahtbügel 10 ein unerwünschtes Wölben der Platten.In addition to the steel wire brackets 10 which ensure the plate spacing, a steel ring with the associated support arms 5, which is attached to the supports 1 in the region of the lower narrow sides of the freely hanging heat exchanger plates 6 and attached to the supports 1, can be fastened in vertical alignment or in accordance with the inclination of the radially outer plates, with laterally offset U-profiles be in which the lower channel pieces 8 of the heat exchanger plates 6 are secured both against lateral pivoting and against falling. In this case, the steel wire brackets 10 prevent undesired bulging of the plates.

Obwohl sich der beschriebene turmartige Aufbau der Anlage mit zwei an einem einzigen oberen Stahlring 2 aufgehängten radial inneren bzw. radial äusseren Sätzen von Wärmetauscherplatten 6 als besonders zweckmässig erwiesen hat, könnte auch nur ein einziger radial innerer oder radial äusserer Satz von Wärmetauscherplatten 6 vorgesehen sein. Sollen Wärmetauscherplatten 6 geringerer Länge (z.B. von 1,5 - 3 m ) verwendet werden, so können auch zwei je mit Tragarmen versehene Stahlringe in entsprechendem vertikalen Abstand übereinander an den Stützen 1 vorgesehen sein.Although the described tower-like structure of the system with two radially inner or radially outer sets of heat exchanger plates 6 suspended on a single upper steel ring 2 has proven to be particularly expedient, only a single radially inner or radially outer set of heat exchanger plates 6 could be provided. If heat exchanger plates 6 of shorter length (e.g. from 1.5 to 3 m) are to be used, two steel rings, each provided with support arms, can be provided on the supports 1 at a corresponding vertical distance above one another.

Obwohl der zylindrische Turmaufbau dank seiner Unabhängigkeit von der jeweiligen Luftströmungsrichtung besonders vorteilhaft ist, könnte der Turmaufbau auch Rechteckform aufweisen. So könnte beispielsweise ein die oberen Enden zweier Stützen verbindender geradliniger Träger vorgesehen sein, an welchem beidseitig und z.B. versetzt zueinander je ein Satz von horizontalen, zueinander parallelen Tragarmen befestigt ist, an welchen die Wärmetauscherplatten mit ihrem oberen schmalseitigen Rand aufgehängt sind.Although the cylindrical tower structure is particularly advantageous thanks to its independence from the respective air flow direction, the tower structure could also have a rectangular shape. For example, a straight line connecting the upper ends of two supports Niger support can be provided, on which on both sides and, for example, offset from each other, a set of horizontal, mutually parallel support arms is attached, on which the heat exchanger plates are suspended with their upper narrow edge.

Aufbau und Montage der erfindungsgemässen Wärmeaustauschanlage, die natürlich sowohl zum Erwärmen als auch zum Kühlen des in den Platten zirkulierenden Wärmeträgers verwendet werden kann, sind einfach und der konstruktive Aufwand zur sicheren Fixierung und Abstandhalterung der Wärmetauscherplatten ist erheblich geringer als bei bekannten Anlagen dieser Art.The construction and assembly of the heat exchange system according to the invention, which of course can be used both for heating and cooling the heat carrier circulating in the plates, are simple and the design effort for securely fixing and spacing the heat exchanger plates is considerably less than in known systems of this type.
