Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a heat exchanger. More specifically, the present invention relates to a heat exchanger such as a heater or a cooler capable of performing low flow processing of a fluid to be processed, especially, for the use of chemical experiments.
  • Examples of performance generally required for the heat exchanger include heat exchanging performance, corrosion resistance, pressure tightness, robustness, cleaning properties, and downsizing.
  • the heat exchanger also requires low cost production thereof.
  • a multipipe heat exchanger, a double-pipe heat exchanger, a coiled heat exchanger, a plate heat exchanger, and the like are mainly used as the conventional heat exchanger.
  • Such heat exchangers however, have the complex structures or have difficulties in downsizing, is costly, and low cleaning properties.
  • examples of the heat exchanger to be used in low flow processing more specifically, in chemical experiments generally include a glass coil type heat exchanger and a glass double-pipe heat exchanger. In this case, the good heat exchanging performance is not expected because of low thermal conductivity of the glass itself.
  • Patent Document 1 conventionally known is a heat exchanger including a coiled heat-transfer tube placed in a space defined between an inner tube and an outer tube, wherein an inside space of the heat-transfer tube is used as one of flow paths, a coiled space between coiled sections of the heat-transfer tube in the space is used as the other flow path, and wherein an efficient heat exchange is achieved between one fluid and the other fluid.
  • the heat-transfer tube is not fixed to either one of an outer peripheral surface of the inner tube or an inner peripheral surface of the outer tube but the heat-transfer tube is only naturally mounted. Therefore, in a case of a high-viscosity fluid, the heat-transfer tube expands or contracts due to a flow resistance, which may cause, for example, pitches between coiled sections to be non-uniform and partially narrower or tighter.
  • Patent Document 1 JP2002-147976A
  • the present invention is to improve one type of heat exchangers, which includes a coiled heat-transfer tube placed in a space defined between an inner tube and an outer tube.
  • An inside space of the heat-transfer tube is used as one of flow paths, and a coiled space defined between coiled sections of the heat-transfer tube in the space is used as the other flow path.
  • Heat is exchanged between one fluid and the other fluid.
  • a purpose of the present invention is to provide a heat exchanger to/from which the heat-transfer tube can be attached or detached with ease.
  • another purpose of the present invention is to provide a heat exchanger capable of controlling a variation of the flow path area caused by a deformation of the heat-transfer tube due to a flow resistance.
  • the present invention is directed to provide the heat exchanger that can achieve either one of the above described purposes.
  • a more specific purpose of the present invention is to provide a heat exchanger that is small, has a good heat exchange property, and can perform low flow processing in which a fluid to be processed can be passed, especially, in various chemical experiments, with a cost less than those of the conventional heat exchangers.
  • JPH 05 8269U discloses a heat exchanger in which a coiled tube is fixed by brackets to an outer tube, and heat in fluid flowing through the coiled tube is exchanged with fluid flowing axially in the gap between the outer tube and an inner tube.
  • the invention is in the heat exchanger of Claim 1.
  • the heat exchanger includes the features of claim 1.
  • the invention recited in Claim 2 provides the heat exchanger of Claim 1, wherein the heat-transfer tube 1 may not be fixed either one of an outer peripheral surface of the inner tube 5 or an inner peripheral surface of the outer tube 6, and the tensioning mechanism may expand or contract a diameter of the coiled heat-transfer tube 1 than a diameter the tube naturally has, thereby bringing the heat-transfer tube 1 into close contact with or pressure contact against the inner tube 5 or the outer tube 6.
  • the invention recited in Claim 3 provides the heat exchanger of Claim 1 or 2, wherein a load in a coil axis direction applied may be equal to or less than 10 kg when the heat-transfer tube 1 varies a length of the coil in the coil axis direction by 10% in comparison with the length of the tube as it naturally has.
  • the invention recited in Claim 4 provides the heat exchanger of Claim 3, wherein the heat-transfer tube 1 may be made of a material selected from the group consisting of metals such as stainless steel, hastelloy, inconel, titanium, copper, and nickel; acrylic resins such as ABS, polyethylene, polypropylene, and PMMA; fluorine based resins such as polycarbonate, PTFE, and PFA; and an epoxy resin.
  • metals such as stainless steel, hastelloy, inconel, titanium, copper, and nickel
  • acrylic resins such as ABS, polyethylene, polypropylene, and PMMA
  • fluorine based resins such as polycarbonate, PTFE, and PFA
  • an epoxy resin such as polycarbonate, PTFE, and PFA
  • the invention recited in Claim 5 provides the heat exchanger of Claim 4, wherein an outer diameter of the heat-transfer tube 1 is equal to or less than 28 mm.
  • the heat exchanger according to the present invention keeps a state that the expansion or contraction force is applied to the heat-transfer tube 1 by the tensioning mechanism in use, i.e., at least during the heat exchange. Therefore, the heat-transfer tube always receives the force and thus a deformation of the heat-transfer tube due to the flow resistance hardly occurs even if the heat-transfer tube does not contact the inner tube 5 or the outer tube 6. Therefore, a non-uniform deformation of the coiled heat-transfer tube 1 can be reduced.
  • the deformation occurs less by bringing the heat-transfer tube 1 to close contact with or pressure contact against the inner tube 5 or the outer tube 6 by an action of the tensioning mechanism.
  • Another operation and effect of the heat exchanger according to the present invention is to make the coiled heat-transfer tube 1 be easily attached or detached. More specifically, the heat-transfer tube 1 is placed freely with a suitable clearance defined between the inner tube 5 and the outer tube 6. Then, the heat-transfer tube 1 is placed in a tensed state to generate the expansion and contraction force to be brought into contact with either one of the inner tube 5 or the outer tube 6. The expansion and contraction force is then kept by the tensioning mechanism, thereby keeping the contacting state. Upon disassembly and the like, the expansion or contraction force is released to allow the heat-transfer tube to be detached with ease.
  • the heat-transfer tube is placed in a pressure contact state by applying the expansion or contraction force after it is attached without the clearance (i.e., in the contacting state). Then, the pressure contact state is kept by the tensioning mechanism. Upon disassembly, the expansion or contraction force is released to allow the heat-transfer tube to be detached relatively easier.
  • the heat-transfer tube can be replaced easily even when a clogging or adhesion occurs in the heat-transfer tube. Therefore, disposal of or expensive cleaning the heat exchanger itself is no longer necessary as it is required in the conventional heat exchangers. Further, an occurrence of the expansion or contraction of the heat-transfer tube due to a flow of heating medium can be avoided. Still further, since the structure can be simplified in comparison with the conventional ones, manufacturing steps can be reduced. As a result, the heat exchanger can be provided with lower cost.
  • a heat exchanger of this embodiment includes an inner tube 5 and an outer tube 6 which have a substantially circular lateral cross section , wherein upper ends and lower ends of the inner tube 5 and the outer tube 6 are closed by an upper closing part 9 and a lower closing part 8, respectively.
  • the inner tube 5 and the lower closing part 8 are integrally formed.
  • not the lower closing part 8 but the upper closing part 9 may be integrally formed with the inner tube 5.
  • none of the lower closing part 8 or the upper closing part 9 is integrally formed with the inner tube 5 but may be formed detachably.
  • a coiled heat-transfer tube 1 is placed in the space 7 defined between the inner tube 5 and the outer tube 6 such that the coiled heat-transfer tube 1 closely contacts with or pressure contacts against at least either one of an outer perimeter of the inner tube 5 or an inner perimeter of the outer tube 6.
  • the coiled heat-transfer tube 1 pierces through the upper closing part 9 and the lower closing part 8, thereby being contactable with pipes outside the heat exchanger.
  • the heat-transfer tube 1 is not fixed to either one of the outer peripheral surface of the inner tube 5 or the inner peripheral surface of the outer tube 6.
  • a coiled space 4 is defined between turns of the coiled heat-transfer tube 1.
  • the coiled space 4 having predetermined intervals is enclosed by the vertically adjacent different turns of the heat-transfer tube 1 and the inner and outer tubes 5, 6.
  • the illustrated coiled heat-transfer tube 1, inner tube 5 and outer tube 6 are implemented in a cylindrical shape having a vertically uniform diameter. However, they may be formed into a shape having a vertically varying diameter (i.e., a circular truncated cone shape or an inverted circular truncated cone shape).
  • a fluid 2 to be processed passes through an inside of the heat-transfer tube 1.
  • a preferable material for the heat-transfer tube 1 can expand and contract and has a high corrosion and pressure resistance, and robustness against the target fluid to be processed through the heat-transfer tube.
  • the material for the heat-transfer tube include a metal such as stainless steel, hastelloy, inconel, titanium, copper, and nickel; an acrylic resin such as ABS, polyethylene, polypropylene, and PMMA; a fluorine based resin such as polycarbonate, PTFE, and PFA; and an epoxy resin.
  • the external section of the heat-transfer tube 1 as the coiled space 4 is a space for passing a heating medium 3.
  • the heating medium 3 enters and exists through nozzles 10 formed in the upper closing part 9 and the lower closing part 8, respectively. Accordingly, the heating medium 3 can be passed through the space 7 and the coiled space 4.
  • the fluid 2 to be processed is passed upwardly (i.e., in a U direction) in Fig. 1 and the heating medium 3 is passed downwardly (i.e., in an S direction) to create an absolute counterflow. Accordingly, both of the fluid 2 to be processed and the heating medium 3 are prevented from an increase of a pressure loss, resulting in securing a large overall heat-transfer coefficient.
  • a flow of both fluids in the same direction should not be excluded from consideration.
  • the heat-transfer tube 1 is assembled with the lower closing part 8 and the inner tube 5 which are integrally formed.
  • the above attachment can be performed smoothly by defining a suitable clearance 4c between the inner tube 5 and the heat-transfer tube 1 (See Fig. 4(A) ).

  • an interlocking joint 11 is employed as the tensioning mechanism 11. In a case of the interlocking joint 11, it generates as well as keeps the expansion or contraction force.
  • the heat-transfer tube 1 is pulled in the U direction to reduce the diameter of the coiled heat-transfer tube 1, thereby bringing the heat-transfer tube 1 into close contact with or pressure contact against the inner tube 5 ( Fig. 4(B) ).
  • the outer tube 6 slightly spaced by a gap 4d from the outer diameter of the assembled coiled heat-transfer tube 1, and the upper closing part 9 are assembled therewith.
  • the outer tube 6 and the upper closing part 9 may be integrally formed or may be formed so as to be disassembled.
  • the slight gap 4d is kept while the heat-transfer tube 1 is pulled in the U direction.
  • the outer tube 6 is then mounted to the outside of the heat-transfer tube 1 and the upper closing part 9 is temporally attached thereto.
  • an upper end of the heat-transfer tube 1 is fixed to the upper closing part 9, thereby completing the attachment between the outer tube 6 and the upper closing part 9.
  • the tensioning mechanism 11 of the upper closing part 9 may be configured to be adjustable of an upper end position of the outer tube 6 in the same manner as the interlocking joint 11 of the lower closing part 8 or may be an unadjustable fixing mechanism.
  • the load is preferably equal to or less than 10 kg.
  • the outer diameter of the heat-transfer tube 1 is preferably equal to or less than 28 mm.
  • the above example is suitable for the heat-transfer tube 1 naturally having an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the inner tube 5.
  • the following method is employable.
  • the tensile force in the U direction is released.
  • the coiled heat-transfer tube 1 attempts to resume its natural size.
  • the coiled heat-transfer tube 1 is brought into close contact with or pressure contact against the inner peripheral surface of the mounted outer tube 6.
  • the upper end of the heat-transfer tube 1 is fixed to the upper closing part 9 to complete the attachment between the outer tube 6 and the upper closing part 9.
  • the following method is also employable.
  • the heat-transfer tube 1 is attached with a suitable clearance 4c between the inner tube 5 and the heat-transfer tube 1, and the outer tube 6 having a slight gap with the outer coil diameter of the heat-transfer tube 1 is assembled with the upper closing part 9.
  • the heat-transfer tube 1 is pulled in the vertical direction so that the upper end and the lower end thereof separate from each other by, for example, operating the interlocking joint 11 to generate the expansion or contraction force (i.e., a contraction force in this case).
  • the diameter of the coiled heat-transfer tube 1 is reduced to bring the heat-transfer tube 1 into close contact with or pressure contact against the inner tube 5.
  • the expansion or contraction force is then kept to secure the close contact or pressure contact state.
  • the heat-transfer tube 1 is brought into close contact with or pressure contact against the inner tube 5.
  • the heat-transfer tube 1 is pushed downwardly into the outer tube 6 from above, i.e., in the S direction (in other words, the upper end is brought closer to the lower end) to increase the coiled diameter, thereby bringing the heat-transfer tube 1 into close contact with or pressure contact against the outer tube 6.
  • the upper end and the lower end of the heat-transfer tube 1 is pushed or pulled in the coil axial direction.
  • the upper end and the lower end of the heat-transfer tube 1 may be pushed or pulled in a direction in which a helical structure of the coil extends.
