Definitions
- the present invention relates to a heat exchange between a primary liquid, for example containing oxygen, and a secondary fluid, for example containing nitrogen.
- a cryogenic gas separation unit comprising such a heat exchange.
- the present invention applies to the field of heat exchangers configured to perform heat exchanges between a primary liquid and a secondary fluid.
- the present invention can be applied to the field of gas separation by cryogenics, including the separation of gases from air, acid gases and natural gas.
- EP0130122A1 discloses a heat exchanger which generally comprises parallel plates, parallel spacers, which define i) primary channels and ii) secondary channels, as well as an input connected to a primary liquid bath via a distributor.
- each primary channel generally has a rectangular-based prism shape, the primary liquid flowing along the prism and perpendicular to the rectangular base.
- the primary liquid flowing through the primary channels exchanges heat with the secondary fluid flowing in the secondary channels.
- the primary liquid contains a large proportion of oxygen and the secondary fluid contains a large proportion of nitrogen gas.
- the primary liquid flow rate is relatively low in a primary channel.
- the primary channels of EP0130122A1 have small transverse dimensions, in this case millimetric, so that the primary liquid is not homogeneously distributed over the entire rectangular perimeter 51 of each primary smooth channel 50.
- the primary liquid forms meniscuses 52 and concentrates in the corners 53 of the rectangular perimeter 51 of each smooth primary channel 50, which induces the appearance of dry zones on the long sides 54 of the rectangular perimeter 51 of each smooth primary channel 50.
- the number and area of the dry areas increases as the primary liquid flowing to the primary smooth channel outlets expands. These dry zones are therefore unused during heat exchange, which reduces the performance of the heat exchanger. In addition, these dry areas may cause deposition of impurities, which may eventually lead to a failure in the safety of personnel and equipment.
- the present invention is intended in particular to solve, in whole or in part, the problems mentioned above, by providing a heat exchanger for retaining primary and secondary channels with conventional geometry, without generating additional pressure losses, while by increasing the heat transfer and the safety of the heat exchanger.
- the subject of the invention is a heat exchanger, for exchanging heat between a primary liquid and a secondary fluid, the heat exchanger comprising at least:
- spacers extending between the plates and arranged parallel to each other so as to define i) primary channels shaped for the flow of the primary liquid and ii) secondary channels shaped for the flow of the secondary fluid, each primary channel being arranged so as to be able to exchange heat with at least one respective secondary channel,
- a primary liquid inlet intended to be fluidly connected to a primary liquid distributor
- each primary channel generally has a shape of polygonal section prism, the prism being composed of several generally planar faces, and

- r is the ratio of the actual area of a respective rough primary channel, as numerator, to the geometric area of a respective rough primary channel, as the denominator,
- R a (in m) is the mean arithmetic deviation from the mean line
- ⁇ is the void ratio of the actual surface of a respective rough primary channel.
- the ratio r is sometimes referred to as “roughness ratio” or “roughness”.
- the arithmetical average deviation R a (in m) represents the roughness of the rough primary channel.
- the term "average line” designates a line situated at the average altitude of the real surface. In practice, the average line can be calculated from the topographic survey of the sectional profile of the surface by applying the least squares method.
- void ratio of a surface corresponds to a rate calculated as follows: A slice whose thickness is equal to the height of the highest peak (relative to the point the lower) of this surface. On this slice, the void ratio ⁇ corresponds to the ratio of the volume not occupied by microstructure elements to the total volume of the slice. This report is expressed as follows:
- V tot (in m 3 ) is the volume between the highest point and the lowest point of the real surface
- Vsurf (in m 3 ) is the volume between the actual surface and the lowest point of the actual surface.
- R z is the height of the highest peak relative to the lowest point of the surface
- z (in m) is the height of a respective point with respect to the lowest point of the real surface, the height z being measured point by point
- z (in m) is the arithmetic mean of the height z measured point by point.
