All units 100 are along the vertical z over the upper and lower Ends of the plate heat exchanger 4, 5, so as to calm as possible the entire level of the liquid phase F1 of the first medium M1 in a fluctuating movement of the heat exchanger 1, wherein the
- Longitudinal axis z of the shell 2 according to Figure 4 changes their inclination, in particular from the leaf level out.
- the reassurance is generated by the flow resistance, the liquid phase F1 in the horizontal channels, for example when flowing back and forth between the openings 10a, 10b of the channels 10 experiences.
- the channels 10 or units 100 according to FIG. 4 can have a plurality of cross sections
- the vertical channels 10 may be formed in cross section not only rectangular, as shown by way of example in Fig. 4, but also circular. Other shapes are also conceivable.
- individual horizontal channels 10 may be provided with an additional flow brake (e.g.
- Cross-sectional constriction 12 be equipped or be completely closed 2.
- FIG. 6 shows a heat exchanger 1 in the manner of FIG. 4 with horizontal channels 10, wherein now the jacket 2 of the heat transfer according to FIG. 3 is formed and is arranged horizontally.
- a unit 100 with a plurality of superimposed and arranged side by side horizontal channels 10, but along the longitudinal axis of the jacket 2 have a smaller extent than the blocks 3, 4 along this direction. This allows the least possible disturbance of the vertical circulation of the liquid phase F1 (see above).
- a further unit 100 is arranged between the two blocks 4, 5. Again, the reassurance of the liquid phase F1 of the first medium as described with reference to Figure 4.
- the interconnected (or individual) hollow sections 11 and channels 10 in different cross-sectional shapes eg circular, rectangular, honeycomb
- length at any position of not occupied by the respective plate heat exchanger 4, 5 shell space 3, but mainly in the liquid-filled area (So next to the block 4 or 5, the blocks 4, 5 and / or between the blocks 4, 5) be attached.
- the number of units or Register 100 is customizable. These units 100 are flowed through only in the vertical direction or in the horizontal direction of the liquid phase F1.
- the composite itself represents a flow resistance in the horizontal direction. This dampens horizontal flows.
- the units 100 or channels 10 can be adapted to the respective requirements both in vertical and in the horizontal dimensions and can also be subdivided if necessary.
- the size of the individual channels 10 in cross section is flexible and can also be to the respective
- the individual channels 10 of the units 100 may have different lengths.
- horizontal channels 10 and hollow sections 1 1, individual profiles 1 1 may be closed to the
- the units or hollow profile register 100 allow a large influence on the flow direction of the circulating
- Liquid F1 in the container 2 without the need for a high number of items would be required.
- the volume of liquid outside the plate heat exchangers 4, 5 can be very highly segmented, although the manufacturing and assembly costs for it remains relatively low.
- the segmentation further allows low wall thicknesses of the units 100 or channels 10 / hollow profiles 1, since the composite 100 represents a robust body 100 and only allows small-scale fluid movements.
- the natural frequencies of oscillating liquid F1 in the container 2 or jacket space 3 can be influenced and movements dampened. Thus, a stimulation in natural frequency and high vibration amplitudes can be prevented.
- the heat exchanger 1 according to the invention is used on a float on a body of water, for example as a component of a floating plant for the production of liquid natural gas (LNG).
- LNG liquid natural gas
