Abstract
Description
- This invention pertains to flame fired heat exchangers for cooking systems where atmospheric pollutants are generated from the cooking process and are circulated to the heat exchanger for treatment.
- The cooking of potato chips, corn chips, chicken, meat balls and the like in a hot oil bath causes a mist to be generated over the bath. This mist includes hydrocarbons, particulates, oil droplets, smoke, water released from the food product as well as fats and other carbonaceous and odor creating elements released during the cooking process. These will be called "pollutants" below. While at one time it was common to release such pollutants to the atmosphere, today's clean air requirements prescribe that a plant operator minimize to a high extent the amount of pollutants released into the environment.
- To achieve a minimal release of pollutants it has been observed that improvements are required to heat exchangers used in food cooking systems for remote heating of either a cooking fluid such as oil or water or the heating of a heat transfer fluid such as a thermal oil. Such improvements should produce a result that the odors emitted from the system are greatly reduced, if not undetectable, which is the most desirable condition indicating that pollutants are at a very low acceptable level. It is believed that the delivery of a large amount of the pollutants from the cooker to the heat exchanger combustion chamber often times passes through the combustion chamber and out the exhaust stack leaving a telltale smell in the vicinity of the plant and this is objectionable. The flow of gases in the combustion chamber, it is believed, is in a laminar pattern which tends to minimize mixing of the pollutants with the combustion gases. Thus, improvements in the combustion chamber design should ideally give a higher measure of mixing such as generating a greater amount of turbulent flow of the pollutant vapors and the combustion products so that a very minimum of odor is detectable issuing from the heat exchanger stack. A known parameter for dwell time or residence time of gases in a combustion chamber is three-tenths of a second at 760°C (1400°F) and, when products are held for this time in the combustion chamber, thorough treatment and odor reduction is achieved provided there is sufficient turbulence to ensure mixing of the pollutants and combustion gases.
- A flame fired heat exchanger for coupling to a system for cooking a food product in a cooking fluid in which cooking vapors and odour pollutants released during cooking are retrieved and circulated to a flame burner of the heat exchange for incineration serving to reduce the pollutants released to the atmosphere is known from EP-A-0 342 365 This known arrangement includes a housing enclosing a tube array for a heat transfer or a cooking fluid to be heated for cooking the food product, and a combustion chamber, a burner arranged on the housing to project a flame into the combustion chamber, and a plenum proximate the burner means and equipped to receive cooking vapors from the cooking system and having a discharge opening serving to release such vapors and odour pollutants into the combustion chamber.
- The present invention provides a flame fired heat exchanger for coupling to a system for cooking a food product in a cooking fluid thereby generating cooking vapors and odor pollutants released during cooking which are retrieved and circulated to the flame burner of the heat exchanger for incineration serving to reduce the pollutants released to the atmosphere, and comprises : housing means enclosing a tube array for a heat transfer or a cooking fluid to be heated for cooking the food product, and a combustion chamber, burner means arranged on the housing to project a flame centrally into the combustion chamber, plenum means proximate the burner means and equipped to receive cooking vapors from the cooking system and having a discharge opening serving to release such vapors and odor pollutants into the combustion chamber for entrainment into the flow of the products of combustion from the burner, baffle means mounted in the combustion chamber and extending there across in a plane generally normal to the principal axis of the burner, the baffle means having a central opening therein serving to pass combustion gases therethrough along the path towards the tube array to an exhaust discharge from the heat exchanger, and a frusto-conically shaped, turbulence increasing body mounted in the combustion chamber spaced apart from the baffle means so as to define an annular flow slot along the sidewalls of the body through the opening in the baffle means, the body being arranged to project towards the burner flame with the larger base disposed away from the burner and having a central flow passageway extending therethrough.
- In the accompanying drawings:
- FIG.1 is a schematic view of a food cooking system wherein the cooking fluid is heated in a pollution-controlled heat exchanger;
- FIG. 2 is a view taken in the direction of the arrows 2-2 of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a view taken in the direction of the arrows 3-3 of FIG. 2;
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken in the direction of the arrows 4-4 of FIG. 1; and
- FIG. 5 is a view taken in the direction of the arrows 5-5 of FIG. 4.
- As shown in FIG. 1 of the drawings, a flame fired heat exchanger 10 is arranged in a system 11 for cooking a food product in a
cooker 12. Thecooker 12 may be equipped for cooking potato chips, corn chips, chicken parts, meat balls and the like and, to this end, is provided with a cooking fluid or heat transfer fluid maintained by the heat exchanger 10 in the desired cooking range typically from about 82° (180°F) to about 204°C (400°F) and in the case of a heat transfer fluid in a range of from 204°C (400°F) to about 315°C (600°F). One ormore oil outlets 13 from thecooker 12 deliver oil to afines removal unit 14 where solids are removed from the cooking oil before delivery to a main system pump 16 which delivers oil in the direction of the arrows 15 to aheating tube bundle 17 of the heat exchanger 10 for reheating. The oil emerges from thetube bundle 17 and is delivered by aconduit 18 through one ormore oil inlets 19 into thecooker 12. - To prevent vapor emissions from the
cooker 12 from polluting the atmosphere surrounding the plant where the system 11 is installed, the pollutants generated in the cooking process within thecooker 12 are collected from acooker exhaust 21. Afann 22 creates a draft or a negative pressure over the cooking fluid in thecooker 12 so that the vapors from the cooking products are drawn through theexhaust 21, first encountering anoil mist eliminator 23 which serves to remove oil droplets from the cooker exhaust for reuse of the oil in the process. A control 24 is interposed in thecooker exhaust line 21 ahead of thefan 22 so that the cooker exhaust may be delivered to aplenum 26 downstream of thefan 22, the plenum being equipped to exhaust vapors from thecooker 12 to a location within the heat exchanger 10 adjacent to aburner 34 for entrainment into the turbulent flow of the products of combustion. An air dilution stream including fresh air and exhaust from the heat exchanger is delivered through aconduit 28 into thecooker exhaust 21 flow and is controlled byregulators 29 and a barometric damper 30 to ensure that the necessary volume mixture and temperature of the mixtures reaches theplenum 26 and discharges into acombustion chamber 31 of the heat exchanger 10. - The heat exchanger 10, shown schematically in FIG. 1, is generally L-shaped having a generally horizontally disposed
combustion chamber 31 arranged at a right angle to atube bundle compartment 32 which houses thetube bundle 17. The walls of the heat exchanger 10 are formed from steel and are well-insulated as indicated by the cross-hatching in FIG. 1 with use ofrefractories 33 well-known in the industry. Theburner 34 is mounted at one end of thecombustion chamber 31 and may burn either liquid or gaseous fuel as dictated by fuel availability and cost. The burner is arranged to project aflame 27 axially along the center portion of thecombustion chamber 31 towards abaffle 36 having acentral orifice 37 through which the combustion gases must flow from thecombustion chamber 31 to aexhaust 38 of heat exchanger 10. - So as to increase turbulence for mixing and reduce laminar gas flow within the combustion chamber, there is mounted in a substantially occluding relationshop with respect to the aperture or orifice 37 a frusto-conically
shaped body 41 mounted with the larger base disposed away from the flame and the narrower base disposed closer to theflame 27, FIGS. 4 and 5. The conical-like member 41 is supported from thebaffle plate 36 by one or moregusset plates 42 and is arranged concentric with theorifice 37 so as to provide, as viewed in FIG. 4, anannular slot 44 through which the combustion gases flow. In other words, theconical body 41 serves somewhat as a plug or target within the combustion chamber for increasing the turbulence, uniformity of gas temperature and uniformity of gaseous mixing between the pollution gases introduced into the combustion chamber from theplenum 26 and the products of combustion released by theburner 34. The plug ortarget 41 has a centrally arrangedopening 46 which serves as a gas passageway into thetube chamber 32. Thus, the flow of heating gases from the combustion chamber to the tube chamber takes place through theannular slot 44 and through thecylindrical opening 46. The presence of the opening serves to reduce laminar flow along the conical surface of thebody 41 and to reduce the stagnation zone of gas flow behind or downstream of thebody 41. - A typical effective relationship between the inside radius "A" of the
combustion chamber 31, the radius "B" of theorifice 37 and the radius "C" of the base of theplug 41 is as follows: A = 0.91 m (36 in); B = 0.57 m (22.5 in); and C = 0.53 m (21 in). The distance from thebaffle plate 36 to the base of theplug 41 can be about 0.41 m (16 in). - These dimensions were selected so as to create a condition within the combustion chamber of reduced laminar gaseous flow and increased turbulent flow. At typical firing rates to maintain a combustion chamber temperature of about 760°C (1400°F), the gas flow across the target or
plug 41 as indicated generally by the arrows in FIG. 5 generates a vena contracta which is larger in area than theorifice 37 and which dwells a distance upstram from thebaffle plate 36. Gas flow through theorifice 37 generates a vena contracta which is smaller in area than theorifice 37 and which dwells a distance downstream from thebaffle plate 36. This serves to create a more turbulent condition and to hold the gases in the combustion chamber a somewhat longer time than if the foregoing structures were absent. One important result is a decrease in laminar flow through the combustion chamber with increased temperature and mixing uniformity of the pollutants with the combustion gases to achieve a more complete incineration of the pollutants, reaching the desired low level of pollutant emissions into the atmosphere from theheat exchanger exhaust 38. - So that the position of the plug or
target body 41 may be optimized with respect to the most desirable position as to the selected temperature zone of the flame and its location on theorifice plate 36, one or more of thegusset members 42 andsupports 43 are provided with a series of openings and fasteners whereby different positions may be selected for adjustment of thebody 41. - The
baffle 36 is supported from thesteel sidewall 35 of the heat exchanger by arcuately-spacedgussets 48 as shown in FIG. 4.Slots 49 are cut in thebaffle plate 36 opening into theorifice 37 so as to accomodate for expansion and contraction of the baffle plate in accordance with the heat load imposed upon it. - Referring more particularly to FIGS. 2 and 3, the
plenum 26 is equipped with adrain 51 anddischarge valve 52 so that any liquid collected therein may be removed. It will be seen that theneck 53 of the plenum enshrouds theburner flame 27, thus ensuring that pollution products delivered by the pollution fan to the plenum will be introduced into the combustion chamber in pattern concentric with theburner flame 27.
