Definitions
- the invention relates to a cross-flow heat exchanger, preferably a cross-flow micro heat exchanger according to the first claim.
- Cross-flow heat exchangers are well known in the art. They have a heat exchange region in which a fluid flow in a first channel group is tempered by a heat transfer fluid flow in a second, the first crossing channel group.
- Each of the channel groups has a plurality of preferably over their entire length connected in parallel and preferably also parallel channels.
- the channels per channel group - as usual in cross-flow heat exchangers - parallel to each other and preferably arranged in a straight line on a plane.
- the first and second channel groups, with or without interleaves without channels are alternately arranged plane-wise, i. Cooling or heating of the fluid stream takes place by heat transfer at the intersections, which thus form the heat transfer areas.
- a quantity of heat is transferred, wherein the fluid flow in a channel of the first group of channels passes through a plurality of intersections and thus heat transfer areas and add the amounts of heat transferred in each case.
- the entirety of the channels of a channel group preferably forms a passage through the cross-flow heat exchanger.
- a cross-flow micro heat exchanger in which the microchannels are integrated in layers as a plurality of parallel grooves on one side in metal foils.
- the films are preferably cut out square and stacked with the grooves crosswise alternately rotated by preferred 90 ° and connected together by gluing, soldering or welding, wherein the groove-structured foil sides in each case rest on an unstructured side of the adjacent foil.
- countercurrent and direct current heat exchangers are also known in which the channels of the fluid to be temperature-controlled and of the heat transfer fluid do not intersect, but are guided parallel to one another.
- cross-flow micro heat exchanger of the aforementioned type speak not only the outstanding thermal properties, described for example in [2], but also easier compared to DC or Jacobstromebenschreibern because not intertwined to be realized and low-loss inlets and outlets fluid streams.
- the object of the invention is to propose a further improved cross-flow heat transfer system which does not have the aforementioned limitations and in particular allows a uniform temperature control of the fluids in all channels per channel group.
- the solution of the problem is based on a modification of a cross-flow heat exchanger described above.
- the channels are divided into two channel groups, each having a first channel group for the fluid to be tempered and a second channel group for the heat transfer fluid.
- the channels are arranged in layers. Each level has channels only one channel group, the levels and thus the channel groups - as described above - are stacked in preferred alternating order to a heat exchanger.
- the channels are connected in parallel for each channel group and preferably also arranged in parallel, wherein different channel groups are aligned differently and thus the channels intersect. Intermediate levels without channels or adjacent levels with channels from the same channel group are not excluded within the scope of the possible embodiments. It is essential that two channels from adjacent levels cross with different channel group membership and heat transfer areas for heat transfer between the adjacent channels arise in these intersections.
- the cross-flow heat exchanger is designed as a Kreustrom-Mikroebenziestedtrager
- the channels are micro-channels, with narrowest cross sections between 0.001 mm 2 and 1 mm 2, and preferably with closest cross-sectional dimensions between 0.01 mm and 1 mm.
- Micro heat exchanger are preferably made of plate or film stacks, wherein the microchannels of the microchannel groups are incorporated as grooves on one side or both sides in the plates or films and the films are joined together by pressing, gluing, soldering or welding to form a film stack.
- the inlets and outlets of the microchannels are laterally, for each channel group preferably on its own side surface.
- the basic idea is to equalize the fluid flows in all channels of the first and second channel group just by geometrically individual design of the intersections and thus the thermal transmission paths in the heat transfer areas in total.
- an equal temperature change of the fluid flow in the first channel group as well as the heat carrier fluid flow in the second channel group is realized in an advantageous manner in total.
- the outlet temperatures of the fluids to be tempered and the heat transfer fluid are kept in close temperature intervals.
- the risk of hypothermia or overheating of fluid components and thus crystallization or vapor formation is effectively reduced.
- This advantageously also allows a more exact maintenance and utilization of a definable temperature window and thus a use of fluids with phase transitions near the temperature window.
- both fluid flows leaving the heat exchanger per channel group have a homogeneous temperature and can be introduced directly without intervening mixer stage, for example in a reactor or another heat exchanger.
- the claimed cross-flow heat exchanger or cross-flow micro heat exchanger is thus particularly suitable for use in process engineering Processes in which both fluids used in both micro-channel groups and not only the fluid in the first micro-channel group are procedurally changed.
- both channel groups have different geometric dimensions in their channels (e.g., cross-section, width) and / or in channel spacings and / or land widths.
- the channel width or the channel cross-section increases in the direction upstream of the respective other channel group, ie. to the respective fluid inlets of the other channel group towards.
- the object is achieved by a cross-flow micro heat exchanger, in which the channels are formed in two channel groups per level with different, preferably stepped cross-sections.
- the depth of the microchannels i. the groove depth in the individual foils or plates and the web width between the channels are constant, so that the different cross sections are realized by different channel widths.
- the gradation of the cross sections and the aforementioned channel widths per level is preferably always in continuous steps with each channel increasing or decreasing, wherein the channel is arranged with the largest cross section or the largest width near the fluid inlets of the respective intersecting channels of the other channel group.
- the following channels on the level gradually show smaller and smaller sections or widths on, wherein the channel with the smallest cross-section is arranged near the fluid exits of the respective intersecting channels of the other channel group.
- Fig.1 a perspective sectional view of a cross-flow micro heat exchanger.
- the in Fig.1 illustrated cross-flow micro heat exchanger consists of films 1 with groove-shaped rectilinear 2 incorporated channels of a first channel group 3 for a fluid to be tempered (fluid flow direction 4) and a second channel group 5 for a heat transfer fluid (fluid flow direction 6) .
- the facing to the viewer end surfaces 7 each include the fluid inlets.
- Between two channels of a film is a web as a channel boundary and channel separation.
- Each film with channels has only channels of a channel group and preferably one-sided or two-sided always adjacent to films with channels of the other channel group.
- the channels have equal depths and different widths.
- the fluid connections of the cross-flow micro heat exchanger are in Fig.1 not shown.
- all channels 2 of both channel groups have a depth of 0.1 mm and also a web width between the microchannels of 0.1 mm.
- the foils 1 in the exemplary embodiment consist of VA steel (18-8-chromium-nickel steel) and have a thickness of 0.2 mm.
- B n 1 4 . 1 - 1 208 , n + 1 1 . 3 ⁇ n 2 ⁇ B 1
- N is the total number of microchannels per plane (foil) and is between 10 and 60
- ⁇ is the thermal conductivity in W / mK of the respective fluid in the channels.
- the ridge widths are constant at least for each channel group, and preferably in the range between 10 and 15% of B 1 .
- the width B n is also possible to calculate those of the cross-sectional areas A n of the channels.
- the web width is to be corrected.
- the channel spacing between the center lines of the individual channels is used here, which adds to the web width plus the width B n calculated with (1) at an underlying channel depth.
- the exemplary embodiment is a cross-flow micro heat exchanger with square foils each having 34 microchannels.
- the depth of the microchannels is 0.1 mm, the width of the webs between the microchannels 0.1 mm.
- the mass throughput per film is 1 kg / h, the films have a dimension of 10 x 10 mm and are structured on one side to 8 mm wide with 0.1 mm deep channels.
- exit temperatures in the described embodiment with graduated channel widths in all channels of both channel groups are equal to ⁇ 4% (reference to ° C) and ⁇ 0.6% (refer to Kelvin).
