Description

The invention relates to a plate apparatus and method for heat transfer processes.

Heat exchange processes and chemical reactions with liquids and or gases under high pressure and high temperatures are carried out in metal tube apparatus (bundle heat exchangers), wherein the fluid-carrying tubes have large wall thicknesses due to the high pressure. The large wall thicknesses are required on the one hand to accommodate the upcoming compressive forces, since each individual tube is pressure-bearing design and on the other hand is characterized the heat transfer performance due to the low thermal conductivity of z. B. reduced metallic materials.

If, in addition, corrosion-resistant materials are to be used for process engineering processes, it is customary to provide the product-carrying pipes with an enveloping, tight-fitting jacket pipe because of low strength values at high temperatures, so that the material expenditure used is significantly increased and the heat transfer performance additionally deteriorates. In the production technology, high throughputs are continuously generated, thereby parallel arrangements of thick-walled single-layer or multi-layer pipes are common in the apparatus, whereby each individual pipe or product channel is designed for high process forces, which leads to large, heavy and expensive apparatus, especially if difficult to process materials be used.

In the processing of hazardous chemical substances, large apparatus in the product and tempering rooms have large volumes, so that the hazardous potential increases with hazardous substances.

When processing viscous substances with laminar flow behavior, pipe channels are uneconomical with regard to the heat transfer behavior and in connection with the thick-walled pipe channels. Another problem is the product-specific deposit formation whereby the heat exchange and thus the service life of an apparatus significantly reduced. Furthermore, such apparatus must be easy to clean.

Heat transfer operations at high pressures up to 500 bar and at the same time high process temperatures of up to 500 ° C require according to the prior art apparatuses with high material costs, so that high costs occur. the apparatuses have large dimensions and are difficult to assemble.

Even so-called plate heat exchangers are not suitable for such applications because extremely thin sheets are used, which tend to deformation at high pressures. In addition, the risk of corrosion is very high, so that with thin wall thicknesses, the frequency of damage is high, and these apparatuses are usually used only for less corrosive substances.

The object of the invention is to develop for chemical endothermic or exothermic reactions and for heat exchange processes at high pressures up to 500 bar and at the same time high temperatures up to 500 ° C, an apparatus and a method in which duct or pipe walls are made significantly thinner can and the flow of liquids, gases and multiphase fluids and viscous substances is improved, so that procedural operations can be performed more efficiently and the apparatus can be built more cost effective and compact as possible. Furthermore, it is an object to provide a good and improved cleaning option for an operator to perform in case of contamination and deposit formation on the Wämteaustauschflächen fast cleaning and thus to reduce production loss.

The object has been achieved by an inventive plate apparatus for heat transfer processes, which can be built in a particularly compact and material-saving form and in which a cleaning is very easy.

The object was inventively achieved by a plate apparatus for heat transfer, which is characterized
in that it comprises at least one rectangular channel (1) through which a fluid can pass, comprising upper and lower, smooth, in particular flat, straight, undeformed, wide walls (2, 3) and left and right side walls (4, 5), the width walls being thinner than side walls, the walls of the rectangular channel are non-detachably and gas-tightly connected to one another and the rectangular channel for a fluid in the flow direction (6) can be flowed through in its longitudinal extension,
and width walls and side walls together form a flow-through cross-section for the inflow of a fluid whose quotient of inner width wall to inner height extent of the side wall is greater than 20 to less than 1000,
and the interior of the rectangular channel is equipped with at least one extractable flow-through, one- or multi-piece insert (7) with surface contact with the rectangular channel whose outer geometric dimensions fill the interior of the rectangular channel,
and at least on an outer width wall, over the entire width and length, at least one flow-through, one or more pieces essay (8) with surface contact to the rectangular channel and or housing is placed loosely,
and wherein the rectangular channel is surrounded by at least one attachment on all sides by a close-fitting housing (9), wherein the housing front and rear Anströmplatten (10,11), parallel to the width walls of the rectangular channels an upper and lower width plate (12,13) and Attachment plates (14,15) with openings (16), in the Anströmplatten slot-shaped openings (17) for receiving rectangular channels present and all housing plates are inextricably linked together, the rectangular channel protrudes into the slot-shaped opening of Anströmplatten and is also connected there, and As a result, an externally sealed housing is formed, which has separate flow areas in the interior
and forwards occurring pressure forces from the flow areas via area contacts to the housing,
the fluid flow areas (6, 18) which are separate in the housing lie one above the other, and intersect the flow directions of inserts and attachments in height-offset different planes at an angle of 90 degrees,
the housing has detachable connection adapters for flow plates (19, 20) and attachment adapters for attachment plates (21, 22) to allow for the supply and discharge of fluids,
flow-through extractable inserts (7) and overlaid attachments (8) comprise at least two straight layered layers (200, 300) not deformed in the layer plane, the structure of the layers being formed by rectangular functional webs and gaps (201, 301) the layers fill the associated permeable space or area with their geometric expansions and thereby support the inner and outer surfaces of the thin width walls via surface contacts of the webs,
each structured layer has in its longitudinal extent at least one resilient and deformable spring web (202, 302) parallel to the side wall (4, 5) or end plate, and the spring web is connected to at least one connecting web (203, 303) to the parallel guide web (204, 304) in the layer plane .
and starting from the guide web and / or spring bar a plurality of shorter intermediate webs (205,305) extend to the opposite parallel spring bar, and intermediate webs in straight extension have a spring gap (206,306) with deformation path (207,307) and limit deformation of the spring bar
and in the inflow and outflow zones of the fluids, a plurality of support ribs (208, 308) of different lengths protrude into the flow area,
Webs one-sided surface contact to the width wall or to the width plate and one-sided surface contact with adjacent webs of adjacent layers have to conduct existing compressive forces in the surrounding outer housing,
and connecting, intermediate and supporting webs of layers of the inserts and attachments to the respective main flow direction have an inclination angle α of 10 to 70 degrees.
and in each case one of the two layers of inserts and attachments turned by 180 degrees about its own longitudinal axis of elongation and placed on the other layer, thereby the existing angle of inclination α of the webs aged, thereby cross webs and form a backmixing low flow through sections for a fluid.

The feature of flatness applies in particular with regard to a uniform and constant wall thickness of the parts used for inserts and attachments and width walls.

Wide and flat rectangular channels with thin width walls behave like diaphragms under internal pressure load, so that even under low load a strong deformation occurs. With internal pressure in the rectangular channel, the surfaces of the webs of the applied essays ensure a uniform and stable support of the width walls, so that the material thickness of the width wall must absorb the compressive forces acting only partially in the section of the respective paints. The webs of the articles consist e.g. made of incompressible materials, so that the active forces can be guided over webs of the attachment layers to the width plate and forwarded to the attachment plates of the housing.

Occurring forces in the flow areas in the interior of the housing can be partially compensated, so that only the housing is loaded by effective forces. At the same time, the attachment plates restrict the movement space of the attachments, so that the loose attachment layers between the rectangular channel and the housing are inserted almost free of play, in particular are clamped.

If several rectangular channels with interposed caps positioned one above the other and or side by side, only the housing of the plate apparatus must withstand the forces. Process-relevant heat-transferring partitions of the rectangular channels can be extremely thin and significantly promote and improve the embryo exchange.

If in the process engineering application the prevailing pressure in the flow area of the attachment is higher than in the rectangular channel, the membrane-like width walls can compress the layers of the inserts without play, so that a large-area contact with the webs of the inserts arises, and form the inserts additional internal heat transfer ribs and contribute to an increase in performance of the apparatus.

Structured inserts and attachments simultaneously increase flow velocity and thus turbulence, which also increases heat transfer performance. The side walls of the rectangular channels are supported by top plates of the housing so that welding connections between side and width wall of the rectangular channel take over essentially only sealing functions. The material consumption of the inventive plate apparatus for heat transfer is low, since only the housing is made thick-walled to take pressure or Wirkkräffte,

Undetachable connections of the side wall and the wide wall of a rectangular channel can be produced by welding technology or by a soldering process.

The plate apparatus has in its structure two separate flow areas, so that even incompatible fluids in the apparatus can be subjected to an energy exchange. It may be advantageous that layers of inserts and essays are structured differently, so in particular the gaps between the webs can be made different widths.

Characteristic of the process technology heat transfer between two fluid streams in an apparatus application is that fluids with different pressure levels are fed into the apparatus and are exposed to width plates and top plates of a different load. As a result, it is advantageous to pass the higher pressure fluid stream through the rectangular channel and direct the low pressure fluid flow through the flow area of the tips. As a result, attachment plates can be made thinner than the width plates. The main compressive load is passed through width walls of the rectangular channel over the loose webs of the attachments to the width plate of the housing, so that the attached to the width plate top plates are subjected to a tensile load substantially to keep inner internals of the housing stabilized and not subject to deformation. The width plate is then executed stably.

If two fluid streams in different amounts in the respective flow region of the inserts and essays out, the layers of the attachments and inserts will be different thicknesses or, high and different structures, so that flow resistance and Feüßgeschwindigkeiten are different to improve the heat exchange.

Process-related contaminants and deposits on the inner heat-transferring walls of the rectangular channel may require that the layers of the inserts must be quickly interchangeable and drawable. Particularly advantageous are the slot-shaped openings of Anströmplatten, can be pulled over the inserts out of the rectangular channel out to perform a device cleaning very easy and fast. Due to the marginality of the inserts, a scraping of inner deposits in the rectangular channel takes place simultaneously when the insert layers are pulled.

When changing the layers of the essays, it is advantageous if the layers of the essays are made in several pieces, so that the length of the width wall of the rectangular channel is covered by a plurality of juxtaposed essays. The essays are based on the wider side walls of the rectangular channel.

The plate apparatus and inserts and attachments can be made predominantly of materials such as steel, CrNi steels, high alloy Ni steels, nickel, titanium, aluminum, but they can also be made of non-metallic materials. Depending on the corrosion requirements, material pairings can also be used.

The innovative plate apparatus is particularly economical when chemical processes require corrosion-resistant, difficult-to-process and expensive materials,

Another inventive embodiment is when a plurality of rectangular channels are positioned in a plane next to each other, and have at least one common attachment and a common housing. Several rectangular channels are guided in a common slot-shaped opening of the Anströmplatte and there are firmly and tightly connected to the Anströmplatte of the housing.

Differently large gaps allow a good adaptation with regard to the flow loss, so that fluids can be tempered in a wide viscosity range. In addition, the gap width in the respective flow direction influences the thickness of the wide wall of the rectangular channel, so that different effective forces are taken into account. By effective forces are meant the forces of the respective fluid pressure.

Inventively, inserts and attachments may be further characterized in that inserts and attachments have different heights to sharpen pressure loss flow areas.

Differently formed heights of inserts between the parallel width walls of the rectangular channel and attachments between outer surface of the width wall and parallel inner surface of the width plate provide for a low flow loss and promote the heat exchange. Different heights of the inserts and attachments are formed by using different sheet thicknesses for structured layers.

Furthermore, the assembly and disassembly is much easier.

The inventive housing may be characterized in that the width plates (12, 13) running parallel to the width of the rectangular channel have a greater wall thickness than the lateral attachment plates (14, 15) having openings (16),

The inventive housing may be characterized in that the parallel width plates are provided with a tempering channel (23) in order to keep the temperature differences between rectangular channel and housing low during tempering operations.

Examples 1:

In the FIGS. 1 and 1.1 The inventive disk apparatus is shown in its construction in a sectional view. It is the flow-through rectangular channel (1), consisting of upper and lower, straight undeformed width wall (2,3) and left and right side wall (4,5) to recognize.

The side walls are covered by the width walls above and below, the width walls being thinner than the side walls. Width and side walls of the rectangular channel are non-releasable and gas-tight connected by non-illustrated, welds or solder joints, so that the rectangular channel for a fluid in the flow direction (6) can be flowed through over the entire length extent of the rectangular channel. Depending on the design, it may be advantageous to use a single very wide rectangular channel, or as in Figure 1.1 shown to position several narrower rectangular channels next to each other, with associated essays (8) are guided over all rectangular channels in a plane.

The interior of the rectangular channel is filled with a removable insert (7) consisting of two layers (200) whose outer geometric dimensions fill the interior of the rectangular channel and stabilize the position of the membrane-like width walls (2, 3), so that a To prevent deformation inward under external load.

On the outer width walls, upper are the whole width and length, essays (8) shown, the surface contact with the rectangular channel, in particular the width wall and the width plate (12,13) and are loosely placed. The figures show layers (300) of the attachments (8). The height of the attachments ends at the inner surface of the width plate of the housing. In addition, the loosely mounted attachments are chambered by top plates (14, 15) and face plates (10, 11) of the housing. So that the rectangular channel with lying essays on all sides by a tight-fitting housing (9) is enclosed.

The housing has front and rear Anströmplatte (10,11), upper and lower width plate (12,13), with tempering chamber (23), and lateral attachment plates (14, 15) with openings (16), all housing parts are insoluble with each other connected to take up pending forces from the inside of the housing. In the Anströmplatten slot-shaped openings (17) are incorporated, there protrude the rectangular channels in order to be there also inseparable and tightly connected to the housing. Usually, the permanent joints are made by known methods such as welding and brazing.

In this disk apparatus, only the outer casing is formed as a pressure-bearing member. The fluid supply and discharge to the rectangular channel via detachable connection adapter (19, 20) of the Anströmplatten and the fluid supply of the essays via detachable connection adapter (21, 22) of the side attachment plates. Detachable connecting elements of the connection adapter, for example, screws or clamp connectors, they are not shown in the figure. Also, corresponding seals of the detachable components are not shown, here, for example, flat gaskets, O-rings or metallic seals can be used.

Inside the housing, two separate flow regions (6, 18) intersect, the energy prevailing in the flow regions can be exchanged via the thin width walls of the rectangular channels, while occurring pressure forces are conducted from the flow regions via attachments to the housing and accommodated there.

The illustrated tempering channel (23) on the width plates serves to reduce temperature differences between the rectangular channel and the housing and can serve as a compensator replacement. It is also possible, instead, to provide a compensator to compensate for different temperature expansions.

Example 2

In FIGS. 2 and 2.1 is a structured layer (200) of an insert (7) with parallel spring bar (202) and guide web (204) to see. Spring bar (202) and guide bar (204) are connected to a connecting web (203) and predominantly from the guide web (204) a plurality of intermediate webs (205), for example, at an angle α of 45 degrees directed to the spring bar (202) extend and in the Extension a spring gap (206) with a forming spring travel (207) connects. Between connecting webs and intermediate webs gaps (201) are present, so that when superimposed second layer (200, 200 '). Intersect webs and gaps and the insert, consisting of at least two layers for a fluid is flowed through.

From a portion of the spring bar in extension in the inflow of the fluid and from a portion of the guide bar in the Ausströmzone of the fluid several differently long support webs (208) protrude into the flow area and end there and have no spring gap with travel and only a support function to the width of the wall Take over rectangular channel,

In Figure 2.1 It can clearly be seen that the rectangular channel (1) is completely filled with its geometry by the support webs (208) in both end regions and the width walls are fully supported under load.

The Figure 2.2 shows a section, in particular, the spring gap (206) and the resulting deformation path (207) can be clearly seen.

Example 3

Furthermore, the spring gap (206, 206 ') and the associated deformation path have been varied, so that different deformation paths (207, 207') are incorporated in a layer structure, and thereby also large unevenness and geometrical deviations during insertion can be bridged. As shown in the figure, the spring gaps and deformation paths can also be arranged on both sides in the layer plane in order to achieve maximum flexibility.

In Figure 3.1 two layers are superimposed together form a permeable insert.

Example 4

FIGS. 4 and 4.1 shows a particular embodiment of a particularly broad structured layer (200) for the formation of an insert, for example, two geometries are integrally combined in one layer, so that the guide bar (204) is mounted centrally, the geometric structure of each permeable side corresponds, for example, the FIG. 2 , it forms in the middle of the guide bar (204) and two outer spring bars (202), Thus, a very wide and long layer can be stabilized with the shape of a thin plate and easy to install. Also, changing inserts for cleaning operations can be simplified. The FIG. 4 . 1 shows two superposed layers (200, 200 ') FIG. 4 to form an insert.

Example 5

FIG. 5 shows by way of example the layer structure (300) of an attachment in a mounting situation with surrounding housing plates (11, 14, 15), outer guide (304) and spring bars (302) are connected to the connecting web (303) and take over double functions in terms of leadership and of the spring. Due to the chambered installation position of the layers of an essay Support webs (308) and intermediate webs (305) each spring gaps and associated spring travel. In particular, it is ensured that width walls of the rectangular channels are well supported by essays and layers of the essays can also be used under slight tension between the housing plates (14,15) in the flow direction (18).

Example 6

In FIG. 6 For example, as shown here, the spring bar has recesses 209 to minimize friction surface and thus frictional force to the side wall 4 of the rectangular channel upon insertion of the inserts.
