Definitions

  • the present invention relates a heat exchange unit, which includes a plurality of heat transfer plates, which are formed of a metallic thin sheet and combined in parallel and integrally with each other, and especially to such a heat exchange unit in which the proper fluid passages are ensured in the combined state of the plates and heat exchange fluid having a high pressure can be introduced between the heat transfer plates to make an appropriate heat exchange.
  • a plate-type heat exchanger has conventionally been used widely.
  • the plate-type heat exchanger has a structure in which a plurality of heat transfer plates having a plate-shape are placed parallelly one upon another at prescribed intervals so as to form passages, which are separated by means of the respective heat transfer plate.
  • a high temperature fluid and a low temperature fluid flow alternately in the above-mentioned passages to make heat exchange through the respective heat transfer plates.
  • An example of such a conventional plate-type heat exchanger is discussed as a prior art in Japanese Patent Provisional Publication No. H3-91695 , with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6 thereof.
  • gasket members formed of elastic material are placed between the two adjacent plates to make the distance between them constant and define passages for fluid.
  • a pattern of irregularity of herringbone type has conventionally and widely applied to the heat transfer plates of the plate-type heat exchanger.
  • a pattern of irregularity could not achieve a balance of decrease in pressure loss and assured resistance to pressure.
  • various kinds of different pattern of irregularities have been proposed.
  • Japanese Patent Provisional Publication No. 2000-257488 describes an example of such different pattern of irregularities.
  • the plates for the above-mentioned conventional heat exchanger has a structure in which the plate includes a plurality of heat transfer sections each of which has a mound configuration provided at its top with a flat portion in a thickness direction of the plate (i.e., a cross section thereof) and a rectangular shape in a plan view of the plate, in the inner side of the sealing member (i.e., the gasket member).
  • the plate includes a plurality of heat transfer sections each of which has a mound configuration provided at its top with a flat portion in a thickness direction of the plate (i.e., a cross section thereof) and a rectangular shape in a plan view of the plate, in the inner side of the sealing member (i.e., the gasket member).
  • the conventional heat exchanger has the structure as described in the above-mentioned prior art documents.
  • the plates are placed one upon another to form a heat exchanger so that alternating plates are turned upside down and upper end portions (i.e., tip ends of projections) of heat transfer sections of the plate faces flowing passage-intersections (i.e., root ends of the projections) of the adjacent plate.
  • the plates are combined to each other so that the heat transfer sections protrude the same direction, with the result that the flowing passages formed between the two adjacent plates have the same pattern.
  • the same pattern of flowing passages formed on the opposite surfaces of the plate leads to substantially the same heat transfer conditions for the plate.
  • the conventional heat exchanger described in Japanese Patent Provisional Publication No. 2000-257488 has a structure in which gasket members are provided between the plates in the same manner as Japanese Patent Provisional Publication No.
  • An object of the present invention which was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, is therefore to provide a heat exchange unit, which permits to ensure a sufficient heat transfer performance relative to fluids through optimization of a shape of a peripheral area of the plates to be used, ensure high strength in a combined state of the plates and cope with heat exchange fluids having high pressure.

  • These two kinds of plates are placed alternately one upon another so that projections of the irregularity pattern sections project in the same direction and welded together at the contact areas on the peripheries of the plates, to provide a heat exchange unit in which the plates are combined together. It is therefore possible to combine the heat exchange plates together without providing gasket members between the plates. No existence of the gasket members remarkably improves pressure-resistant strength in the unit into which the plates are combined together.
  • Such a unit can be used even when heat exchange fluids have high pressure, thus being applicable to various purposes for heat exchange.
  • the plates as arranged are identical to each other in configuration in the central irregularity pattern section, with the result that the flowing passages formed between the two adjacent plates have the same pattern.
  • the flowing passages match with characteristic properties of the heat exchange fluids, an effective progress of heat transfer between the plates and the fluids can be made, thus providing an effective heat exchange between the heat exchange fluids.

  • the projections of the plate come into contact with rear sides of the recesses of the other plate in such a combined state. It is therefore possible to bring the plates into contact with each other not only in the peripheral areas thereof, but also in many areas in the irregularity pattern sections. Accordingly, the plate can be held by the outside and inside other plates in the irregularity pattern sections thereof, resulting in a remarkably increased strength.
  • Such a structure ensures appropriate passage configurations between the adjacent plates even when a heat exchange fluid having high pressure is introduced into the passage between the plates, performing an appropriate heat exchange.
