Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heat exchanger, in particular for cooling cracked gas with the features of the preamble of claim 1 or 2.
  • Such heat exchangers require a construction in which the dividing walls between the heat-dissipating hot cracked gas and the high-pressure heat-absorbing cooling medium are as thin as possible to avoid thermal stresses and to achieve low wall temperatures.
  • a further requirement is the supply of cooling medium, which is sufficient at all times and under all operating conditions, to all surfaces involved in the heat exchange with a simultaneously high flow rate of the cooling medium, in particular to the horizontally arranged exchange surfaces. This high flow rate is necessary to prevent deposits of the particles contained in the cooling medium and thus overheating of the walls.
  • the invention has for its object to simplify the generic heat exchanger in such a way that the smallest possible wall thicknesses with the least possible construction costs are possible.
  • the outer tubes of the double tubes also take on a holding function in addition to the task of flow guidance by anchoring the two tube plates against one another together with the jacket.
  • the tube plates can therefore be made very thin without additional anchors, supporting or holding elements, since the high pressure loads acting on the tube plates are absorbed by the outer tube as a tensile load.
  • the outer tubes have the same wall temperature as the jacket, stresses due to differential expansions due to temperature differences in the jacket, the outer tubes and the tube plates are avoided.
  • a heat exchanger for cooling cracked gas consists of a cylindrical jacket 1, which is provided with an inlet nozzle 2 and an outlet nozzle 3 for a coolant. Boiling water is used as the cooling medium, which is fed into the interior enclosed by the jacket 1 under high pressure.
  • the jacket 1 is provided with a tube plate 4, 5 of small wall thickness.
  • a gas inlet chamber 6 is connected to the tube plates 4, 5 on one side and on the other side a gas outlet chamber 7.
  • the gas inlet chamber 6 is connected to the gas outlet chamber 7 via pipes which extend through the interior of the jacket 1.
  • Each tube is designed as a double tube, which consists of a gas-carrying inner tube 8, which is surrounded by an outer tube 9 to form an annular gap.
  • the inner tube 8 is connected to the outer tube 9 via a fitting 10 which is welded into the tube plate 4 on the side of the outer tube 9.
  • the weld seam is therefore outside of the gas flow which flows into the inner tube 8.
  • the outer tube 9 is provided at various heights with passage openings 11, the last of which is located in the immediate vicinity of the tube plate 5 lying on the gas outlet side.
  • the outer tubes 9 thus serve to guide the cooling medium and to hold the two thin-walled tube plates 4, 5.
  • two separating plates 12, 13 are arranged parallel to the tube plate 4 and are penetrated by the double tubes.
  • the two separating plates 12, 13 delimit with the jacket 1 an inflow chamber 14 into which the inlet connection 2 opens.
  • the second partition plate 13 forms with the tube plate 4 an outflow chamber 15, the volume of which is several times smaller than that of the inflow chamber.
  • the volume ratio can be 1 to 4, for example.
  • the second partition plate 13 is provided with through-flow openings 16, which are each located between the double pipes.
  • the cross section of the throughflow openings 16 is dimensioned so large that a significantly higher speed of the cooling medium results in them than in the inflow chamber 14.
  • the outer tubes 9 and the fittings 10 are provided on the part lying within the outflow chamber 15 with inlet openings 17 through which the cooling medium enters the annular gap of the double tubes.
  • the cooling medium flows out of the annular gap through the passage openings 11 into the interior enclosed by the jacket 1, from which it is discharged via the outlet connection 3.
  • Within the inflow chamber 14 the cooling medium flows from a comparatively large volume at a low flow rate. As it passes through the flow openings 16, the cooling medium experiences an increase in the flow rate.
  • This principle of a low pressure loss due to low flow velocity in the inflow chamber 14 and a subsequently increased pressure loss due to higher flow velocity in the flow openings 16 in the second separating plate 13 ensures that an equal amount of cooling medium flows through all flow openings 16, regardless of whether the Flow opening 16 is located in the vicinity of the inlet nozzle 2, or is removed therefrom. This means that all double pipes are supplied with the same amount of cooling medium.
  • tubular sleeves 18 are inserted, which protrude beyond the second partition plate 13 on both sides.
  • the upwardly projecting edge of the tube sleeves 18 prevents any deposits on the separating plate 13 that are carried along by the cooling medium from being entrained.
  • the lower part of the tube sleeves 18 leads the cooling medium directly to the tube plate 4, from where it flows at high speed along the tube plate 4 to the inlet openings 17 of the double tubes.
  • the cooling medium likewise flows through these inlet openings 17 into the annular gap of the double pipes at high speed.
  • the heat exchanger shown in FIG. 3 has two end chambers 19, 20, one of which is provided with the inlet connection 2 and the other with the outlet connection 3 for the supply and discharge of the coolant.
  • the end chambers 19, 20 are connected by the double tubes formed from gas-carrying inner tube 8 and outer tube 9 and adjoin the gas inlet chamber 6 or the gas outlet chamber 7.
  • Each end chamber 19, 20 contains on the gas side one of the described tube plates 4, 5, which are connected via a side wall 21 to a second plate 22.
  • the outer tubes 9 are welded into these plates 4, 5, 22, so that the plates are anchored to one another via the outer tubes 9.
  • the outer tubes 9 are provided with inlet openings 17 and outlet openings 23 on the part lying within the end chambers 19, 20.
  • the end chamber 19 lying on the gas inlet side is divided into an inflow chamber 14 of larger volume and an inflow chamber 15 of smaller volume by a partition plate 13 provided with throughflow openings 16.
  • An overflow weir 24 is connected to the separating plate 13 and stands on the tube plate 4.
  • the cooling medium fed through the inlet nozzle 2 into the end chamber 19 enters the inflow chamber 14 via the overflow weir 24, reaches the outflow chamber 15 with increasing flow velocity, through the inlet openings 17 into the annular space of the double pipes and through the outlet openings 23 into the other end chamber 21, from where it is discharged through the outlet nozzle 3.
