Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vaporizer of the type comprising a heat exchanger body which has main passages placed in heat exchange relationship, means for forming a bath of the liquid to be sprayed so that it circulates in at least one of said first passages main, and means for introducing a refrigerant into the minus a second of said main passages so that it ensures the vaporization of the liquid.
  • the invention applies, for example, to a vaporizer-condenser for a double column air distillation installation.
  • oxygen-rich liquid from the low pressure column tank, is vaporized in the evaporator-condenser by condensation of a nitrogen-rich gas, taken off at the head of the medium pressure column.
  • an air separation device such as a double distillation column includes several types of heat exchanger heat.
  • a main heat exchanger is used to cool the supply air of the apparatus at distillation temperature by heat exchange with a or more fluids from the distillation apparatus. In some cases, these are pressurized liquids from the device that vaporize against the air at distill in the exchanger. These exchangers are normally made entirely of aluminum or copper or alloys of these metals (W095 / 28610).
  • the apparatus also comprises at least one vaporizer-condenser which is a heat exchanger placed inside or outside of the column.
  • vaporizers-condensers are usually made entirely in copper, stainless steel, nickel or aluminum and are made up of at least two circuits which are connected to the rest of the installation by means of pipes welded to the equipment.
  • Exchangers used in air separation devices include heat exchanger bodies which are often made in parallel aluminum plates with a similar outline brazed between they.
  • a oxygen-rich liquid vaporizes against a current rich in gas nitrogen (such as air or nitrogen with a purity greater than 80%).
  • EP-0795349 describes the case where such a vaporizer is combined with a thermosiphon vaporizer (bath vaporizer, i.e. a vaporizer completely immersed in the liquid where the recirculation of the liquid rich in oxygen is made thanks to the hydraulic thrust due to the difference in density between the bath and the liquid vaporizing in the passages).
  • bath vaporizer i.e. a vaporizer completely immersed in the liquid where the recirculation of the liquid rich in oxygen is made thanks to the hydraulic thrust due to the difference in density between the bath and the liquid vaporizing in the passages.
  • the liquid is distributed between many passages made up of waves vertical inserted between two sheets called separators and thus constituting thermal fins, and because of the pitch of these waves the bodies brazed plate heat exchangers have surfaces very large exchange.
  • liquid film when the whole surface is wet, the liquid film will be very thin and to avoid dry spraying at the bottom of the first passages main or in the event of a distribution fault, liquid is poured in excess in the heat exchanger body. This excess liquid forces in general to recycle liquid by means of a pump.
  • vaporizers of the aforementioned type called bath, recirculation of the liquid is also maintained to avoid dry vaporization in the top of the first main passengers.
  • US-A-5699671 further describes a vaporizer with an exchanger body vertically arranged tubular in which nitrogen gas condenses at contact of its tubes.
  • An object of the invention is to solve this problem by providing a vaporizer of the aforementioned type which limits the risk of clogging of the passage (s) dedicated to the liquid to be vaporized.
  • Another object of the invention is to minimize the recirculation of the liquid to be vaporized in vaporizers of the aforementioned type and ensure the safety of the optimal operation and performance.
  • the subject of the invention is a vaporizer of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the or each first main passage has, in current cross section to the direction of flow of the liquid to vaporize, at least one region of free flow continues sufficiently extended to allow the liquid to bypass a deposit of impurities, or, the main passages being delimited by vertical plates having a substantially similar outline, parallel and spaced apart others to form the main flat passages, at least a first main passage is either narrower than the second main passage and contains no exchange wave or auxiliary passage, either contains one or several closed auxiliary passage (s) which extend over most of the dimension of the heat exchanger body parallel to the direction of liquid to be vaporized, the walls of the passage (s) auxiliary (s) touching the plates defining the main passage.
  • all the first main passages contain at least minus a closed auxiliary passage.
  • the liquid sent into the auxiliary passage crosses the vaporizer without contacting the plates defining the first passages main.
  • the liquid should be avoided between the exterior of the auxiliary passage and the passages defined by the plates.
  • passages auxiliaries in a block of material (for example aluminum, nickel or copper). If the block has substantially the dimensions of a first pass main, the liquid will not be able to flow outside the passages auxiliaries which are cylindrical holes passing through the block.
  • the maximum width of an auxiliary passage is greater than 50% of the distance between two adjacent plates.
  • the inner surface of the auxiliary passage or each auxiliary passage includes only curved surfaces and possibly convexities.
  • the absence of cavities in the passages of the first set ("liquid" passages) never has been proposed in the prior art.
  • At least one, and preferably all, of the first main passages contain several auxiliary passages formed by a series of cylindrical tubes parallel to each other and each having a diameter at least equal to 50% of the separation between two adjacent plates.
  • At least one and preferably all of the first main passages contain several auxiliary passages consisting of tubes, each having an inner surface with at least three identical convexities and curved surfaces connecting the convexities.
  • the adjacent tubes may or may not be contiguous.
  • auxiliary passage there are means for directing liquid into the or each auxiliary passage and / or liquid distribution means constituted by predistribution openings, these openings leaving drop this liquid on a lining located above the means for direct liquid into one or each auxiliary passage.
  • the means for directing the liquid into the passages are inclined points whose ends are above inside the auxiliary passage (or passage).
  • the vaporizer can be a main exchanger which is used to cool the air purified at its distillation temperature, a sub-cooler or the vaporizer-condenser of a double column.
  • the invention also relates to an air distillation installation comprising at least one vaporizer as defined above.

  • pressures and purities can take other values.
  • first main passages The passages dedicated to the liquid to be vaporized are called first main passages and are marked with the letter L in the figures, while the passages dedicated to the gas to be condensed are called second passages main and are identified by the letter G in the figures.
  • the space above the plates 4 contains a bath 5 of the liquid to be vaporized from a line 6.
  • the liquid from this bath enters each first pass L through a series of perforations in a upper distribution bar 27. It then falls on a wave 26 which is a non-perforated aluminum sheet with horizontal generators (layout so-called hardway with respect to the flow of liquid oxygen) and offset partial vertical (partial vertical offset is not illustrated so as not to overload the figures) and which ensures the fine distribution of the liquid.
  • the liquid falls from the wave 26 on an upper drip 25 constituted by an aluminum strip folded with a series of triangular points 29 forming an angle of 135 ° with the plane of one of the plates 4 of the passage L considered.
  • each point 29 of the upper drip 15 is located above with a point of a lower drip 24, identical to the first but whose tips are oriented towards the other plate 4 of passage L considered.
  • the liquid to be vaporized then flows on the plates 4 of the first passage L considered in the form of a film streaming downwards.
  • the gas to be condensed enters the second passages G at by means of a pipe 9 welded in the middle of a head 8 (sometimes called “Box” or in English “headline”) semi-cylindrical.
  • the gas then flows downwards in the second passages G to cocurrent of the liquid in the first passages L, the condensation of the gas ensuring the vaporization of the liquid in the first passages L.
  • only the second passages G each contain a spacer wave 21 consisting of a sheet corrugated perforated aluminum with vertical generators (available in "Easy-way").
  • these spacer waves 21 fill also the function of thermal fins.
  • the first passages L have a thickness less than that of the second passages G.
  • the thickness of the first passages L is included between 2.5 mm and two thirds of the thickness of the second G passages.
  • the first passages L are each delimited by two plates 4 neighbors and by closing bars 30 situated between them on their side edges.
  • the first passages L are narrower than the second passages G and contain neither exchange waves nor passages auxiliaries.
  • the distance between the adjacent plates 4 of the first passages L varies between 2.5 mm and two-thirds of the separation between the plates 4 of the second passages G.
  • the first passages L have on all their length a rectangular cross section free of any obstacle and keep on going.
  • This section has a width substantially equal to the width of the plates 4 and therefore the width of the heat exchanger body, that is to say a width of about 1 meter.
  • first passages L having in cross section current, that is to say over most of their length, a region unobstructed and continuous flow that extends along a guide curve C of length greater than approximately 10 cm.

  • the right C is shown in dotted lines in FIG. 5a.
  • the distance separating the two plates 4 associated with a first passage L is greater than that of the variant of Figures 1 to 5a.
  • Each sheet 29, 31 therefore comprises a series of semi-cylindrical sections joined at the ends to form a curved line.
  • Each sheet 29, 31 is carried by a plate 4.
  • the concavities of the sheets 29, 31 are directed towards each other.

  • the sheets 29 and 31 play the role of thermal fins and delimit thus between them the flow region of the liquid to be vaporized.
  • each first passage L extends, in its cross section, continuously and freely practically over the entire width of the heat exchanger body.
  • the mentioned guideline C above then extends between the sheets 29 and 31 following their contours.
  • the directing curve is then sinuous and has a length greater than 1 m.
