Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the vaporization of a liquid by heat exchange with a second fluid by means of a heat exchanger of the vertical plate type according to the preamble of claim 1 and known from the document FR-A-2 547 898 . It applies in particular to air distillation plants.
  • the liquid oxygen which is in the bottom of the low pressure column is vaporized by heat exchange with the nitrogen gas taken at the top of the medium pressure column.
  • the temperature difference between the oxygen and the nitrogen made necessary by the structure of the heat exchanger imposes the operating pressure of the medium pressure column so it is desirable that this difference in temperature is as small as possible, in order to minimize the expenses related to the compression of the air to be treated injected into the medium-pressure column.
  • phase-change exchangers consist of aluminum exchangers with brazed plates and fins, which make it possible to obtain very compact members with a large exchange surface.
  • These exchangers consist of plates between which are inserted waves or fins, thus forming a stack of "passages” vaporization and "passages” condensation.
  • waves such as straight waves, perforated or “serrated” waves.
  • each vaporizer is conventionally carried out according to the principle described in FR-A-2547898 : the feeding of the vaporization passages is done by the top of the condensation passages. The oxygen then passes through a row of holes that ensure its primary distribution in the vaporization passages. It then flows through a horizontal generator waveband which provides a so-called secondary distribution (distribution of the liquid between channels).
  • the liquid oxygen that is vaporized contains impurities in dissolved form.
  • the main impurities are nitrous oxide (N 2 O), carbon (CO 2 ), hydrocarbons (C 2 , C 3 , ).
  • these impurities can be deposited in the vaporization passages (either in solid form or in liquid form). It is important to control industrially the formation of these solid or liquid deposits to avoid any risk of explosion.
  • the so-called secondary distribution uses a waveband with horizontal generator and partial shift.
  • the bar 7 has a U-shaped profile, consisting of two layers, including the outside has a rectangular section while the inside has a sinusoidal edge.
  • the Figure 1B we see the same part of the exchanger seen from the front.
  • the wave with horizontal generatrix 1 is located between two plates 35 defining an exchanger passage which is closed by a bar 7.
  • the bar is preferably composed of two layers but the inner layer has cutouts 33 or flattened according to the shape of the bar 7 where the U-shaped profile is removed, which allows the waves 1,3 of s 'embed in the bar 7.
  • a heat exchanger for vaporizing a liquid by heat exchange with a second fluid comprising a parallelepiped body formed of an assembly of parallel vertical plates defining between them a multitude of flat passages and side bars closing the outward passages, means for sending the liquid in a first set of passages and the second fluid in the remaining passages, a packing for distributing the liquid at the upper end of the passages of said first set, on any the horizontal length of these, by a fine distribution over the entire length of these passages, characterized in that at least one of the side bars has, towards the inside of the exchanger, a curved profile on most of its length and a flat profile over part of its length and in that an edge of the lining contacts the part of its length where the profile is flat.
  • a distillation air separation plant of the type comprising a first distillation column operating under a relatively high pressure, a second distillation column operating under a relatively low pressure, and a heat exchanger making it possible to put the bottom liquid of the second column in heat exchange relation with the overhead gas of the first column, characterized in that the heat exchanger as defined above and in that the installation comprises supply means for supplying the tank liquid to the exchanger and gas supply means for the passages of the exchanger.
  • Air separation systems of this kind correspond for the known part to a so-called double-column separation apparatus, well known from conventional works such as Kerry's "Tieftemperaturtechnik” or “Industrial Gas Handbook”.
  • the proposed solution aims to eliminate or greatly reduce existing free space in the area of the "serrated" wave at the horizontal generator ("hardway") currently used. For this, it is proposed to remove the profile of the lateral bar on the height of the wave of partial shift (“serrated”) with horizontal generatrix (“hardway”) (see figure 7 ). In addition, care must be taken to ensure that the junctions between the generator serrated wave mats ("serrated”) horizontal (“hardway”) are put end to end failing to use a single wave band across the width of the passage.
  • the first model is equipped with two classic sidebars (with curved profile) and the second is equipped with two sidebars whose empty spaces have been filled with aluminum to obtain a flat profile.
  • the liquid nitrogen flow rate is approximately 0.7 l / h / channel, which is slightly less than the flow rates conventionally used.
  • an exchanger is composed of an assembly of parallel vertical plates separated by bars 5.7 which clog the passages.
  • the plates define between them a multitude of flat passages.
  • a lining is placed at the top of the passages, constituted by a first and a second wave 1,3, each wave being a non-perforated aluminum sheet with horizontal generatrices. (so-called "hard way” arrangement with respect to the flow of liquid oxygen).
  • each horizontal or pseudo-horizontal facet of the wave 1,3 is provided with a punctured (non-illustrated) offset upward of a quarter wave pitch.
  • the width of the punctured measured along a generatrix of the wave, is of the same order as the distance separating each of them from the two adjacent flat on the same facet.
  • the liquid oxygen passes through holes placed above the packing, at a rate defined by the passage section of the latter and by the height of the liquid which surmounts it.
  • the holes thus ensure a rough predistribution of the liquid oxygen along the passages, and the liquid oxygen thus pre-distributed on the waves 1,3, which ensures a fine distribution over the entire length of each passage.
  • Liquid oxygen thus approaches lower waves with vertical generatrix 9 by dripping in a perfectly uniform manner on all the walls of the passages which are assigned to it, that is to say by forming on these walls a continuous descending film.
  • the nitrogen gas reaches the exchanger through distribution waves, then flows down along other passages. In doing so, it gradually gives up heat to the liquid oxygen in adjacent passages (not shown), so that oxygen vaporizes and simultaneously nitrogen condenses.
  • the two waves 1,3 should have the same configuration in terms of shapes and dimensions and be deposited so that their edges contact each other perfectly to prevent liquid leakage.
  • the bars 7 are formed with cutouts so that the wave 1 enters an opening in the bar on the left and the wave 3 enters an opening in the bar on the right. For this it is necessary that the total length of the packing formed by the waves is greater than the distance between the two inner edges of the bars.
  • the waves with horizontal generatrix ("hardway") 1.3 are in abutment against each other, but since it is necessary a clearance at each side bar 7 to allow adjustment between tolerances of the waves and tolerances of the bars, it there is a risk that the waves will move during soldering.
  • the waves can be attached to each other by blocking keys of the pieces 11 attached to the upper bar 5.
  • the Figure 7 shows stapling of the waves together by a staple 13.
  • the two waves are cut in the zigzag thickness, so that the two cuts marry perfectly and there is no play between the waves.
  • the waves 1,3 can be blocked together by shims 21 placed between the bars 5 and each wave, as can be seen in FIG. Figure 10 .
  • shims 21 placed between the bars 5 and each wave, as can be seen in FIG. Figure 10 .
  • the two waves 1,3 fit and fit together.
  • the Figures 12A and 12B show details of the Figure 7 where we see that the staples 13 are embedded in the cuts of the partial shift waves.
  • the Figure 13 represents waves 1,3 attached by springs 23 which are embedded in several cuts of each partial shift wave.
