Definitions

  • the invention concerns a high performance heat exchanger for the recovery of heat such as for example reacted gas, comprising a plurality of first tubes projecting from an upper tube plate and open at the bottom which are bayoned to a plurality of second tubes projecting from a lower tube plate and closed at the bottom, with an airspace between the external wall of said first tubes and the internal wall of said second tubes.
  • exchangers with bayonet-shaped tubes which permit the free expansion of the tubes, while the tube-plate is not subject to deformations, can be conveniently adopted only in those cases where the fluid inside the bayonet-tubes is at boiling point, but not where the fluid to be cooled or heated does not change its physical state, whether liquid or in gas form. That is because in this case the unavoidable heat exchange, called parasitical exchange, between the inner tube and the outer tube of each element of the bayonet exchanger prevents the efficient heat exchange between the outer tube and the fluid in the shell, hence the correct operation of the exchanger.
  • parasitical exchange unavoidable heat exchange
  • a high performance heat exchanger for the recovery of heat such a for example from reacted gas, of the type described in the introduction to the description and in claim 1, characterized by the fact that it comprises a plurality of first tubes projecting from an upper tube-plate and open at the bottom which are bayonet-joined to a plurality of second tubes projecting from a lower tube-plate and closed at the bottom, with an airspace between the outer wall of said first tubes and the inner wall of said second tubes, in which heat exchange resistances are provided. These resistances are situated at least partially lengthwise along said first tubes.
  • said resistances consist of dead zones of stagnant fluid, and more particularly of still, non-circulating fluid.
  • said resistances are provided by inserting a third lot of tubes between the second and the first tubes, the lower end of which is closed on the corresponding lower end of said third tubes.
  • the means further to increase heat resistance and to avoid convection movements are provided inside the airspace between said first and third tubes, more particularly by inserting insulating fluids and/or solids, or by creating vacuum zones.
  • an exchanger for the recovery of heat as for example from reacted gas shown as 1 comprises a shell 2 closed at least at one end by a lid 3.
  • the shell 2 has inside a plurality of first tubes 4 projecting from an upper tube-plate 5 which are open at the bottom.
  • First tubes 4 are bayonet-joined to a plurality of second tubes 6 projecting from a lower tube-plate 7 and which are closed at the bottom.
  • a plurality of third tubes 8 projecting from upper tube-plate 5 the lower ends of which are closed on the corresponding lower ends of said first tubes 4 at point 9.
  • a first plurality of airspaces 10 is thus created between the outer wall of said first tubes 4 and the inner wall of said third tubes 8 and a second plurality of airspaces 11 is created between the outer wall of said third tubes 8 and the inner wall of said second tubes 6.
  • the upper tube-plate 5 and the lower tube-plate 7 divide the space inside shell 2 into three spaces or chambers 12, 13 and 14.
  • the upper chamber 12 comprises a plurality of upper openings 15 and 16 of first tubes 4, respectively third tubes 8, while the intermediate chamber 13 comprises a plurality of upper openings 17 of second tubes 6.
  • a fluid for heat exchange F1 enters the upper chamber 12 from opening 18 and runs through the plurality of upper openings 15 and 16 of the first, respectively third, tubes 4 and 8.
  • Fluid F1 on the other hand, which has run down along the inside of first tubes 4 without undergoing any noticeable heat exchange, runs up, at the end of the latter, along second tubes 6 inside airspace 11 exchanging heat with a second fluid F2 situated in the shell side.
  • Fluid F1 then leaves from upper openings 17 into intermediate chamber 13 and then leaves definitively heat exchanger 1 from outlet 19.
  • the second fluid F2 (i.e., advantageously the hot reacted gas) which entered inside shell 2 from inlet 20 leaves heat exchanger 1 from outlet 21.
  • the exchangers according to the invention can be applied to any type of reactor, and more particularly to the reactors described in the Applicants' patents (see for example US Patents No. 4372920, No. 4405562, No. 4755362, etc.).
