Definitions
- Brazed plate heat exchangers made of aluminum are used in numerous systems at various pressures and temperatures. They are used for example in the separation of air, the liquefaction of natural gas or in plants for the production of ethylene.
- the in FIG. 1 illustrated plate heat exchanger 1 is used to heat exchange five different process streams A, B, C, D and E.
- the heat exchanger 1 is block-shaped and equipped with a variety of means 6 for supply and discharge of the individual process media. These means 6 are described below and in the context of this application referred to as nozzle.
- the heat exchanger also has a plurality of means 7 for distributing and collecting the individual process streams A, B, C, D and E, which are referred to below and in the context of this application as headers.
- the plate heat exchanger 1 consists of a plurality of stack-shaped arranged passages 3, which are separated by partitions 4 from each other.
- the various media flow.
- the heat exchange takes place indirectly via the heat contact, which is produced by the cover plates 5 and by the wave-shaped structure arranged in the passages (hereinafter referred to as fins in the context of this application).
- the individual media A, B, C, D and E are guided in the header 7 and distributed to the respectively provided, stacked passages 3.
- distributor fins 2 In the entrance area of the passages there are so-called distributor fins 2, which ensure an even distribution of the medium within the individual passages 3. The media thus flow transversely to the shaft direction of the fins 3 through the passages 3.
- the fins 3 are connected to the baffles 4, whereby an intensive mecanical modifier is produced. This allows a heat exchange between two different media that flow in adjacent passages 3. As seen in the flow direction at the end of the passage are similar distributor fins 2, which lead the media from the passages in the header 7, where they are collected and withdrawn through the nozzle 6. The individual passages 3 are completed by so-called sidebars 8 to the outside. The entire heat exchanger block is limited by cover plates 5 to the outside.
- Such plate heat exchangers are ideal for heat exchange of at least 2 media. By appropriate construction, however, as in FIG. 1 shown, even more than 2 media participate in the heat exchange. This allows a very effective process management and effective heat and cold utilization.
- Such plate heat exchangers are brazed, for example, aluminum.
- the individual passages with the fins, distributor fins, cover plates and sidebars are stacked on each other, provided with solder and brazed in an oven. On the resulting block then header and neck are welded.
- plate heat exchangers according to the prior art in such cases consist of at least two modules.
- a module is understood to be a heat exchanger block which is produced in a brazing furnace as described above.
- Several such modules are interconnected in the prior art and provided with common headers for distribution and collection of the heat exchanging media. The connection between two different modules of a plate heat exchanger takes place according to the prior art via sidebars.
- FIG. 1 illustrated plate heat exchanger consists of a module.
- a heat exchanger block as in FIG. 1 shown ie without header and nozzle, and welded to a second such heat exchanger block.
- cover plate 5 On the cover plate 5 sidebars are welded along the edges of the cover plate.
- the second module, which is to be connected to the first module, is arranged such that the two immediately adjacent sides of the two modules each have the same cover plates.
- the surface which is formed by a cover plate, which is immediately adjacent to another module, is referred to below as the contact surface. To connect the cover plate with the sidebars on the cover plate of the immediately adjacent module is welded.
- the sidebars therefore form according to the prior art, virtually a frame on the cover plate.
- This frame is welded to the cover plate of the adjacent module and made such a connection between two modules.
- the two connected modules thereby form a new heat exchanger block, which is larger than the actual geometry of the brazing oven allowed. In this way, any number of modules can be connected together to form an arbitrarily large heat exchanger block.
- two adjacent modules have at least one common header.
- the present invention has for its object to design a plate heat exchanger with at least two modules, as described above, such that the most rigid and firm connection between two immediately adjacent modules is made. For example, forces due to thermal stress between two modules should be minimized and the mechanical strength of the entire block consisting of at least two modules should be increased.

- the modules can then optionally be welded on sidebars 8 at the edges as in the prior art.
- each contact surface at least one L-shaped profile piece 60a, 60b as a molded part with a side edge 61 a, 61 b of the L-shaped profile 60a, 60b mounted on a contact surface 9a, 9b, wherein the L-shaped profiles 60a, 60b are arranged such that an L-shaped profile 60a fastened on a contact surface 9a forms a pair with an L-shaped profile 60b fastened on the other contact surface 9b, the two L-shaped profiles 60a, 60b of a pair being arranged in such a way are that the L of the L-shaped profile 60a, 60b is fixed upside down on the contact surface 9a, 9b and the two short sides 62a, 62b of the L of the L-shaped profile 60a, 60b overlap.
- the L-shaped profile 60a fastened on a contact surface 9a forms, as it were, a guide rail for the short side 62b of the L of an L-shaped profile 60b fastened on the other contact surface 9b and vice versa. In this way, the movement along the long side 63a, 63b of the L of an L-shaped profile 60a, 60b and thus the movement perpendicular to the contact surface 9a, 9b is prevented.
- the two L-shaped profiles 60a, 60b of a pair touch each other.
- the L-shaped profiles 60a, 60b are arranged within the manufacturing tolerances on the contact surfaces 9a, 9b, that between adjacent sides 62a, 62b of the L of the L-shaped profiles 60a, 60b of a pair a maximum small gap arises.
- a plurality of L-shaped profiles 60a, 60b regularly distributed over the two contact surfaces 9a and 9b, so that the gap between the two contact surfaces 9a and 9b is regularly filled with spaced-apart profile pairs.
- the L-shaped profiles 60a, 60b have a length which corresponds approximately to the length of one of the side edges of the contact surfaces 9a, 9b
