Definitions
- the present invention relates to a plate heat exchanger comprising a start plate, an end plate, and at least two heat exchanger plates placed there between.
- the heat exchanger plates are provided with a pressed pattern of ridges and grooves adapted to keep the plates on a distance from one another, such that flow channels (N,W) are formed between the plates.
- Brazed heat exchangers generally comprise a number of heat exchanger plates provided with a pressed pattern of ridges and grooves, said ridges and grooves of neighboring plates cooperating to form flow channels between neighboring plates. Port openings are provided for achieving communication with some of the flow channels and for sealing off other flow channels.
- a prior art method for achieving asymmetric heat exchangers is to provide plates with a pressed pattern of ridges and grooves, where e.g. every other ridge has a smaller press depth than the other ridges.
- a symmetric plate heat exchanger comprising a plurality of stacked heat exchanger plates provided with a pressed pattern of ridges and grooves is known from US 6 478 081 .
- the plates are brazed to each other at their contact points.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a brazed asymmetric heat exchanger having improved pressure handling capability as compared to an ordinary brazed heat exchanger for the small flow channel, and similar pressure handling capability as an ordinary heat exchanger for the large channels.
- the above object is solved by a heat exchanger where the ridges or grooves are provided with indentations adapted for housing a ridge or groove of a neighboring plate.
- FIG. 1 an asymmetric heat exchanger 100 having aspects of the present invention is shown.
- the heat exchanger 100 comprises a start plate 110 (not visible in Fig 1 ), an end plate 120 and a number of heat exchanger plates 130, 130'.
- the heat exchanger 100 is also provided with four port openings 140a, 140b, 150a, 150b.
- the port openings 140a, 140b are significantly smaller than the port openings 150a, 150b. The reason for this difference in size will b explained later.
- a heat exchanger plate 130, 130' is shown schematically. Also, section cuts A-A, B-B, C-C and D-D are shown. The sections taken along these lines are shown in Figs. 3a-3d . The size difference between the port openings 140a, 140', 140b140b' and 150a, 150b' and 150b, 150b' is more clearly visible in Fig. 2 as compared to Fig. 1 .
- Fig. 3a which is a section cut along the line D-D in Fig. 2 , eight heat exchanger plates 130, 130' delimiting four wide channels W and three narrow channels N are placed between the start plate 110 and the end plate 120. It can be clearly seen that the narrow channels N are delimited by two neighboring plates 130, 130', having a small distance to one another, whereas the wide channels W are formed by two heat exchanger plates 130', 130 having a large distance to one another. The reason for this difference will be explained later.
- Fig. 3b which is a section taken along the line A-A of Fig. 2 , the port openings 140a, 150a are shown. As can be seen, the port opening 140a communicates with the narrow channels N, whereas the port opening 150a communicates with the wide channels W.
- Fig. 3c which is a section view along the line B-B in Fig. 2 , the port openings 140a, 140b, the eight heat exchanger plates 130, 130' and their corresponding channels N and W are shown.
- the port openings 140a, 140b will communicate through the narrow channels N.
- Fig. 3d is a section view taken along the line C-C of Fig. 2 , and shows the port openings 150a, 150b in communication with each other via the wide channels W.
- Fig. 4 shows two heat exchanger plates 130, 130' which, when stacked onto one another in this order will form a narrow flow channel N.
- the plates 130, 130' differ slightly from one another:
- the plate 130' is provided with two port openings 140a', 140b' provided on a high level, two port openings 150a' and 150b' placed on an intermediate level, ridges R' provided on a high level and grooves G' provided on a low level.
- the grooves G' are provided with indentations I' on the intermediate level.
- the indentations I will contact the indentations I', and the resulting contact point will be very strong; in a way, the contact will resemble a handshake. Also, there will be large contact points between the plates, which will give a high strength to the narrow channel N.
- Fig. 5 the plates 130, 130' are oppositely placed as compared to Fig. 4 . This means that there will be no interaction between the grooves I and I'. Rather, the ridges R' of the plate 130'will contact the grooves G of the plate 130. Consequently, the distance between the plates 130, 130' placed according to Fig. 5 will be larger than when they are placed according to Fig. 4 .
- the areas surrounding the port openings 140a', 140b' will contact the areas surrounding the port openings 140a and 140b in the same way the port openings 150a, 150b contact the port openings 150a' and 150b' when the heat exchanger plates are placed according to Fig. 4 .
- the asymmetrical property concerning flow resistance comes from the fact that every other channel will be a narrow channel N, and the rest of the cannels will be wide channels W.
- the wide channels W will exhibit a lower flow resistance (i.e. pressure drop) for a fluid to exchange heat than the narrow channels N.
- the asymmetrical property concerning the capability to withstand an internal pressure emanates from the fact that the contact points between the indentations I and I' (occurs in a narrow channel N) are significantly larger than the contact points between the ridges R' and the grooves G (which occurs in a wide channel W).
- the port openings 140 and 150 are of different size in the described embodiment. There are at least three reasons that the port openings may have different sizes:
- a typical use of a heat exchanger according to the present invention may be in a heat pump for domestic heating.
- a heat pump generally extracts low temperature heat from a low temperature source, often a brine (e.g. a mixture of water and alcohol), which is under a relatively low pressure, by exchanging heat between the brine and a refrigerant (which generally has a high pressure), whereupon the heat absorbed by the refrigerant is made transformed into high temperature heat by a general cooling cycle.
- Typical temperatures in the heat exchanger for exchanging heat between the brine and the refrigerant may be 0-5 degrees C for the brine and -5 to -20 degrees C for the refrigerant.
- four plates 130 and four plates 130' form seven channels, three narrow channels N and four wide channels W.
- the wide channels W are placed closest to the start- and end endplates 110, 120, respectively. If the order of the heat exchanger plates 130, 130' would be different, a heat exchanger exhibiting four narrow channels would be achieved, but there is a certain benefit with the shown configuration, namely that the medium flowing in the wide channels generally have a temperature more similar to the ambient temperature.
- the heat exchanger according to the present invention is brazed. Brazing of heat exchanger is a method well known by persons skilled in the art, and shall hence not be describe in more detail.
- One such modification may e.g. be to arrange more port openings in the heat exchanger plates, and allow selective communication with different flow channels for these ports.
- the selective communication can be achieved in several different ways, arranging rings having an inner diameter equaling the diameter of the port opening and a thickness equaling the distance between two neighboring plates is one way of sealing off communication between a port and a flow channel.
