Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heat exchanger device for refrigeration dryers in compressed air systems according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Compressed air systems of the type of interest here serve to be generated by means of a compressor and under a pressure of e.g. to provide compressed air up to 25 bar.
  • This compressed air however, like the atmospheric air, has a high one at least in European areas Moisture content corresponding to a relative humidity of up to 80% and more.
  • Moisture content corresponding to a relative humidity of up to 80% and more.
  • absolutely dry air is needed. It is therefore known from the compressor to discharge compressed air through a refrigeration dryer before it can be used is fed, and completely remove the moisture in this refrigeration dryer.
  • Air is usually dried in such a way that the air coming from the compressor heated air first in an aftercooler to a temperature of e.g. 35 - 55 ° C cooled becomes. After that, the air is passed through a heat exchanger device, which is an air / air heat exchanger and has a refrigerant-air heat exchanger.
  • the air / air heat exchanger serves the purpose of the compressed air at approx. 35 - 55 ° C on the one hand on e.g. 20 ° C to cool and on the other hand, the counterflow, from a strongly cooled compressed air coming to a water separator at about room temperature heat up to avoid that on the outer sides of the pipes leading to cold air or Apparatus a cold bridge arises.
  • the refrigerant / air heat exchanger serves the purpose that of the air / air heat exchanger Coming compressed air, cooled to approx. 20 ° C, using a refrigerant, e.g. Freeze on cool down their dew point, which is usually 2 - 3 ° C.

  • the air cooled down to its dew point becomes after her Passage through the refrigerant / air heat exchanger to a water separator, in from which the moisture is completely removed, and then again through the air / air heat exchanger passed by while cooling the still warm, from the Compressed air system coming compressed air is warmed to about room temperature.
  • the refrigerant / air heat exchanger contains a serpentine or meandering shape laid pipes to be flowed through by air on the baffles or fins are plugged in, and laid between the baffles, to form passages for a Refrigerant specific plates.
  • the pipes are perpendicular to the baffles and plates arranged. This results in a comparatively low heat transfer overall, and A comparatively large construction volume is required to achieve a specified performance.
  • the two heat exchangers also have open passages at their ends and are housed with these in a common housing that has the required redirections for the air or refrigerant flows. This results in a comparative complicated manufacturing method and the disadvantage that the mutual sealing of the different Passages is problematic and high flow resistance can occur, resulting in cross-sectional reductions that reduce efficiency.
  • heat exchangers are known (US-A-4 966 230), which are parallel to one another arranged plates alternately by these limited passages for a first medium and have further passages intended for the flow of a second medium, which pass through pipes lying parallel to the plates, laid in a serpentine or meandering shape are.

On the other hand, he can be designed on the process air side so that the Risk of serious contamination, especially those that are too noticeable Lead cross-sectional reductions is small. Finally, the heat exchanger points to the Refrigerant side closed pipes so that it is in contrast to in plate construction manufactured heat exchangers has a high compressive strength.

  • the invention Heat exchangers are readily designed such that e.g. the passages 22 according to FIGS. 8 to 10 of inwardly projecting projections, edges or the like, in particular also from the otherwise usual slats or the like, are completely free. Because in this If there were only large, smooth surfaces on the air side, there would be a risk of Contaminations, especially those that cause noticeable reductions in cross-section over time lead, comparatively low. Nevertheless, such a heat exchanger could trained on the refrigerant side with high pressure resistance and overall with small dimensions can be produced. Furthermore, the individual elements of the described heat exchanger used in other than the combinations shown will.
  • grooved plates or the like could. be provided, which extend over the entire height and depth of the heat exchanger blocks 20th or 140 extend and receive the plates 23, 142 and 143 with their grooves.
  • This Grooved plates could also have holes through which the pipe sections 146 or the ends 147 are guided to the outside.
  • the currents of the refrigerant and the air also differently than in cross flow, in particular also in the or countercurrent or in any other, depending on the individual case Flow direction, for which the strips, coils or the like.
  • Just a different orientation need in the respective heat exchanger block 20 or 140 received. So is without further ado it can be seen that the strip-shaped spacers 145 in FIG. 21 also on the free ones there Sides of plates 142 and 143, i.e. parallel to the straight sections of the coil 141, could be arranged.
