Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heat exchanger with a bypass tube for cooling hot gases from petrochemical plants by evaporating water with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • a heat exchanger for cooling hot gases from petrochemical plants, such as ammonia, hydrogen or methanol production plants or coal gasification plants, with the aid of evaporating water is known.
  • a bypass tube is arranged parallel to the heat exchanger tubes, in which engages a closure member.
  • the closure member of the known heat exchanger consists either of a control plate which is either pivotable or axially displaceable over an outwardly guided rod. Due to the nature of the process gases, the control plate lying in the gas flow is subject to corrosion such as carburizing, decarburization or other removal processes.
  • the invention has for its object to make the closure member and arrange in the heat exchanger that corrosion on the closure member does not occur.
  • the serving as a closure member piston is cooled in the manner indicated. This ensures that the metal temperature of the piston is outside the temperature range in which a process gas-related corrosion such as by carburizing, decarburization or other corrosive removal processes can occur.
  • the illustrated heat exchanger serves to cool hot gases from a petrochemical plant.
  • the heat exchanger contains within an outer shell 1, a tube bundle of straight heat exchanger tubes 2, the ends of which are held in a respective tube plate 3, 4.
  • connection 9 for the supply and with a connection 10 for removal a heat exchange medium provided.
  • a heat exchange medium evaporating water is used.
  • bypass tube 11 is guided through the heat exchanger.
  • the bypass pipe 11 penetrates the tube sheets 3, 4 and connects the inlet chamber 5 with the outlet chamber 6.
  • the bypass tube 11 has a larger cross section than the heat exchanger tubes 2.
  • the outlet-side end of the bypass tube 11 protrudes into the outlet chamber 6 and is connected there to a cylindrical guide tube 12, which runs perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bypass tube 11.
  • the guide tube 12 is arranged coaxially with the outlet nozzle 8, wherein between the outlet end of the guide tube 12 and the inlet end of the outlet nozzle 8, an axial distance is present.
  • a piston 13 is arranged axially displaceable, which serves as a closure member for the bypass tube 11.
  • a rear actuating rod 14 is fixed, which is guided through the wall of the outlet chamber 6 to the outside of the heat exchanger and provided there with an actuator, not shown.
  • the piston 13 is designed as a double-walled hollow cylinder, in the interior of which a core 16 made of a ceramic refractory material is arranged. Through the double wall 15 of the piston 13 meandering cooling channels 23 are passed, which are traversed by a coolant.
  • the cooling channels 23 are connected to a supply line 24, which is arranged in the actuating rod 14 and outside of the outlet chamber 6 is provided with a cooling medium inlet 25.
  • the cooling channels terminate in a cooling medium outlet 26, which opens into the outlet chamber 6.
  • a cylindrical slider 17 is connected via a cantilever 18 with the actuating rod 14.
  • the inner diameter of the cylindrical slide 17 is so much larger than the outer diameter of the outlet nozzle 8, that the cylindrical slide can just slide over the outlet nozzle.
  • the cylindrical slide 17 is arranged within the outlet chamber 6 so that it can engage over the outlet nozzle 8.
  • the guide tube 12 is smaller than that of the outlet nozzle 8
  • - as shown in the drawing - the guide tube 12 surrounded by an annular, radially to the guide tube 12 aligned plate 19 whose outer diameter is approximately equal to the inner diameter of the cylindrical slide 17, so that the cylindrical slider 17 can slide over the plate 19.
  • the height of the cylindrical slide 17 is slightly larger than the distance of the annular plate 19 from the upper edge of the outlet nozzle 8, but smaller than the projecting into the outlet chamber 6 height of the outlet nozzle. 8
  • the entering through the inlet nozzle 7 in the inlet chamber 5 stream 20 of the hot process gas is divided into two partial streams 21, 22.
  • the first partial flow 21 flows through the heat exchanger tubes 2 and is thereby cooled.
  • the partial flow 21 passes after flowing through the heat exchanger tubes 2 in the outlet chamber 6.
  • the second partial flow 22 flows through the bypass tube 11, wherein the second partial flow 22 due to the comparatively large diameter of the bypass tube 11 undergoes no cooling.
  • both partial flows 21, 22 enter the outlet connection 8 and are mixed together there. According to the proportions of the partial flows 21, 22, which result from the position of the piston 13, the escaping gas assumes the required end temperature.
