Definitions
- Plate heat exchanger comprising UV generating members
- the present invention relates to a device for treatment of fluids and in particular a device that prevents the build-up of organic matter on surfaces of plate heat exchangers.
- Heat exchangers are used in many applications and for many purposes where energy in one media is extracted in order to obtain and use the energy.
- the applications are numerous and water is often used as one media that flows through a heat exchanger.
- heat exchangers of a plate-type configuration are used, where a plurality of plates are stacked on each other, forming channels between the plates. The two media are then introduced in the channels, one media in every second channel. Due to the large heat transferring surfaces of the heat exchanger, the heat from one media is transferred to the other media.
- biofilms Depending on type of application and type of media, it may contain organic matter that will deposit on the surfaces of the plate exchanger and also grow on the surfaces, especially if the conditions for this are good, creating growth of organisms, fungi, bacteria, viruses and the like, i.e. biofilms. These biofilms degrade heat transfer efficiency, increase pressure drop (and pumping power required) through exchanger tubes and plates by substantially reducing the transfer capability due to insulation effects as well as flow rates through these machines, and can lead to corrosion problems under the film.
- the aim of the present invention is to remedy most drawbacks with the state of the art systems and to provide a system which definitely and totally removes any unwanted matter.
- a plate heat comprising a number of plates stacked on top of each other, UV generating members arranged such that surfaces of said plates are radiated with UV light at the inlet of the plate heat exchanger.
- at least the irradiated surfaces of said plates are arranged with material displaying photo-catalytic properties, whereby said UV light in combination with said catalytic surfaces create radicals, which radicals are effective in treating fluid through the heat exchanger as well as removing and preventing scale on said surfaces of the heat exchanger.
- the surfaces of the plates are made of or covered with, titanium, which surfaces have been treated to form titanium dioxide.
- UV generating members also are arranged at the outlet of the heat exchanger.
- it further comprises a net made of or covered with a material displaying photo-catalytic properties and positioned in the vicinity of said UV generating members.
- the advantages of the present invention are several.
- the application of UV- light in the plate exchanger will promote the removal of any biofilm on the surfaces of the plate heat exchanger as well as prevent any build-up of biofilm.
- the radicals are extremely powerful in destroying any matter in the water, whereby no biofilm can be built up in the heat exchanger. Also if a treatment member according to the invention is connected to a heat exchanger having biofilm on its surfaces, the radicals will effectively remove the biofilm.
- the surfaces of the heat exchanger are display photo- catalytic properties, but plate exchangers may be made by other material that do not display any catalytic properties.
- catalysts may be placed in the inlet and radiated, such as nets comprising titanium dioxide. Of course both catalytic surfaces and catalytic nets may be used.
- Fig. 1 shows schematically the layout and function of a plate heat exchanger
- Fig. 2 shows schematically a heat exchanger arranged with treatment means at an inlet of the heat exchanger.
- the system according of the present invention shown schematically in the drawings is utilizing AOT, i.e. Advanced Oxidation Technology as a treatment function.
- AOT i.e. Advanced Oxidation Technology
- the AOT technology is based on UV-light and catalysts for creating radicals, which act to destroy and decompose many organisms and matter.
- a plate heat exchanger 10 provided with a number of plates, between which channels run, Fig. 1.
- the channels are arranged such that one fluid runs in every second channel and a second fluid in every second channel.
- the plates of the heat exchanger 10 are made of or covered with titanium treated to create titanium dioxide.
- the inlet 12 of the heat exchanger 10, through which the fluid to be treated is intended to run, is provided with UV generating members 14, Fig. 2, such as UV lamps, capable of emitting UV radiation.
- a net 16 covered by or made of, titanium, and treated to create titanium dioxide, is also placed in the inlet.
- the UV lamps 14 thus radiate the surfaces of the plate heat exchanger as well as the net 16, whereby a photo-catalytic reaction creates a large amount of radicals, which radicals effectively destroys any organisms and other matter in the liquid as well as removes any biofilm that may have been built up on the surfaces of the heat exchanger. Further use of the UV lamps will effectively prevent any build-up of biofilm on the surfaces. It is to be understood that the UV lamps may also be placed at the outlet of the plate heat exchanger for further treatment of the fluid. It is to be understood that the embodiment described above and shown in the drawings is to be regarded only as a non-limiting example of the invention and that it may be modified in many ways within the scope of the patent claims.
