Definitions
- the present invention relates to a heat exchange device with at least one heat exchange surface comprising one or more parallel tubular lines and an impact area for a rapper device for cleaning the heat exchange surface.
- Such heat exchange devices are for example used in gasification processes for the production of synthetic gas, also called syngas.
- carbonaceous feedstock is partially oxidised in a reactor.
- Syngas leaving the reactor typically has a temperature of 1300- 1400 0 C.
- the hot syngas is transported to a heat
- US 5,482,110 discloses a heat exchanger for cooling syngas from a partial combustion reactor.
- the heat exchanger comprises nested heat exchange surfaces.
- the heat exchange surface can be cleaned using rapping devices, or rappers, which can regularly be actuated during operation of the reactor.
- rapping devices or rappers
- An example of such a rapper device is disclosed in British patent application GB 2 104 614 A.
- the rapper device impacts the heat exchange surface, the surface is accelerated to such an extent, that soot deposits and fouling are effectively removed.
- Cleaning by rapping can be particularly effective if all tubes of one heat exchange surface are rigidly connected to form one constructive gastight unit, e.g., by constructing the heat exchange surfaces as a tube-stay-tube or fin-tube construction.
- the impact of the rapper device causes high peak loads on the heat exchange surface, which can cause damage of the tubes and leakage of coolant.
- a heat exchange device comprising at least one heat exchange surface, wherein the heat exchange surface comprises one or more parallel tubular lines and an impact area for a rapper device, the impact area comprising an impact block with one or more inner channels, each inner channel bridging opposite open ends of an interrupted tubular line of the heat exchange surface.
- the impact block is integrated into the surface of the heat exchanger so that the impact block is in direct contact with the hot syngas .
- the impact block translates the impact energy caused by a rapper device very effectively into mechanical waves through the heating surface.
- the impact block can be made very rigid and stiff to improve the transfer of impact loads by the rapper. As a result, a very good cleaning effect can be obtained. If the force from the rapper device is not effectively transferred, then little or no cleaning is accomplished.
- the impact block enforces the impact area of the heating surfaces, so the lifetime of the heat exchange surface can be substantially increased.
- the inner channels can be made with the same diameter as the flow paths in the tubular lines so that the flow paths are continued via the inner channels in the impact block without substantial obstructions. This design allows for effective cooling of the impact block by allowing coolant to flow unimpeded through the impact block.
- the heat exchange surface can for example be a cylindrical heat exchange surfaces, e.g., built of a plurality of straight or coiled tubular lines for
- the heat exchange surface can be a flat surface built of a plurality of straight tubular lines.
- tubular lines are coiled and one or more of the tubular lines are
- an impact block with a flat outer surface is provided with one or more inner channels, each channel operatively connecting the opposite ends of one of the interrupted channels.
- the inner channels in the impact block can be straight channels and have a straight longitudinal axis.
- transitional wedged tube sections can be used.
- the contact faces between the transitional wedged tube sections and the impact block can be made perpendicular to the flat outer surface of the impact block.
- the transitional wedged tube section can for example be welded to the impact block, which gives a reliable and durable joint.
- the ends of the interrupted tubular line at the impact area can be perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tubular lines.
- the ends of the interrupted tubular lines, the ends of the inner channels in the impact block and the transitional wedge sections can be provided with circular rims on which the welding seam can be applied.
- the impact block may for example embed two, three or four inner channels, or more, if so desired.
- the impact block may for instance carry an anvil.
- the rapper device can impact the anvil, which transfers the impact load via the impact block to the heat exchange surface.
- the anvil can for example be a hollow cylinder having one side welded to the flat outer surface of the impact block and another side capped with a solid block.
- the heat exchange device can comprise one or more heat exchange surfaces formed by two or more coiled tubes, wherein at the ends of the heat exchange surfaces each of the coiled tubes branches off from the
- the heat exchange surfaces can for example be
- the heat exchange device may comprise straight tubular lines forming one or more flat heat exchange surfaces.
- the impact block can be positioned at one of the sides of the heat exchange surface.
- the impact block carries an anvil plate at its lateral side forming an impact area under right angles with the heat exchange surface. This way, the rapper can impact the heat exchange surface from a lateral direction, resulting in a very effective transfer of mechanical energy.

- FIG. 1 shows an impact area 1 of a heat exchange device according to the present invention.
- the heat exchange device comprises one or more cylindrical heat exchange surfaces 2 formed by a number of coiled parallel tubular lines 3.
- the tubular lines 3 are welded together via fins 4 to form a gastight cylindrical wall.
- Each of the tubular lines 3 are interrupted at the impact area 1.

- the impact block 6 is shown as a separate part in Figure 3A.
- the open ends of the channels 7 are surrounded by circular rims 10 to enable leak tight welding joints.
- Each channel 7 is in line with one of the interrupted tubular lines 3 and in open connection with one of the opposite ends 5 of the corresponding interrupted tubular line 3, so that coolant flows through each channel 7.
- the channels 7 have the same cross sectional area as the tubular lines 3.
- the block 6 has a flat outer surface 8.
- the block 6 is connected to the ends 5 of the interrupted coiled tubes 3 via transitional wedged tube sections 11.
- the transitional wedged tube sections 11 are tubular and have two ends 12, 13 under an angle with each other--the first end 12 being configured to engage the end 5 of an interrupted coiled line 3, while the other end 13 is configured to engage the circular rim 10 of one of the channels 7 in the impact block 6.
- the ends 12, 13 of the transitional wedged tube sections 11 are also provided with circular rims 14 to enable leak tight welding seams.
- connection between the ends 5 of the interrupted coiled tubes and the transitional wedged tube sections 11 can be welded to form a very reliable and durable high quality joint.
- the flat upper surface 8 of the impact block 6 carries an anvil 15.
- a rapper device (not shown) is arranged to impact the anvil 15, which transfers the impacted load to the heat exchange surface. Since the anvil 15 stands under right angles with the flat upper surface 8 it can be joined to the flat surface 8 of the impact block 6 by a durable weld.
- the anvil 15 is formed by a hollow cylinder 16 capped with solid block 17.
- the impact area 1 is located near the lower end of the heat exchange device.
- the coiled tubes 3 have a bent section 18 branching off from the heat exchange surface.
