Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rotary heat exchanger, the first of a fluid flow, such as an outside air or supply air flow, and a second fluid flow, eg a Abluft fashion. Exhaust air flow, can be flowed through in countercurrent, with a rotatably mounted rotor having a first flow sector for the first fluid flow and a second flow sector for the second fluid flow, which it passes during rotation, a holder in which the rotor is rotatably supported , And a sealing device, by means of which the inflow side of the first fluid flow and the outflow side of the second fluid flow from the downstream side of the first fluid flow and the inflow side of the second fluid flow is separable.
  • the rotor formed as a rotating storage mass must be sealed against the housing or the holder of the rotary heat exchanger. Furthermore, the two fluid streams upstream and downstream of the rotary heat exchanger must also be separated from each other or sealed. Due to these sealing measures, leakage during operation of the rotary heat exchanger can be largely avoided.
  • leakage prevention is required because otherwise, for example, the supply air quality is reduced because Abluftan ⁇ parts enter the supply air stream; Furthermore, leaks result, for example, from the outside air into the exhaust air in higher-installed benefits of a fan for the outside air or supply air, as larger amounts of air must be promoted than actually required to achieve the desired supply air volume; Also, there are impairments in the recovery performance of the rotary heat exchanger because bypass flows bypassing the rotor or storage mass reduce the overall performance of the rotary heat exchanger.
  • the present invention seeks to further develop the initially described rotary heat exchanger so that its sealing device can be simplified, with a reliable seal between the inflow and outflow sides of the two fluid streams during operation of the rotary heat exchanger should be automatically guaranteed ,
  • This object is achieved according to the invention in that the sealing device has a first seal which seals against the side of a dividing wall arranged on the inflow side of the first fluid flow, and a second seal which seals against the side of the same dividing wall arranged upstream of the second fluid flow.
  • the differential pressures at the seals are lower and independent of the differential pressure between the two fluid streams.
  • the differential pressure at the sealing device if it is designed with only one partition, is always equal to the pressure loss of the respective fluid flow in the rotor designed as a storage mass; Accordingly, this differential pressure always causes the seal to be pressed against the dividing wall in the respective direction of the fluid flow.
  • the partition wall is arranged axially spaced from both end faces on the cylindrical outer circumferential surface of the rotor and has a circular cutout whose inner diameter slightly exceeds the outer diameter of the rotor.
  • the space between the cylindrical outer circumferential surface of the rotor on the one hand and the holder on the other hand can be used for installation or assembly of the sealing device, over the end faces of the rotor formed as a storage mass projecting portions or components of the sealing device can be avoided.
  • the rotary heat exchanger according to the invention whose first seal is formed as an annular sealing lip, with a Axialdichtungs- section, on the cylindrical outer surface of the
  • Rotor sits, and a radial sealing portion which sits on the upstream side of the first fluid flow disposed side of the partition.
  • a correspondingly advantageous embodiment with regard to the second seal is achieved, if this is likewise designed as an annular sealing lip, with an axial sealing section which is seated on the cylindrical outer circumferential surface of the rotor, and a radial sealing section which is disposed on the side of the dividing wall arranged upstream of the second fluid flow sitting.
  • both seals with their Axialdich- tungsabitesen on the cylindrical outer surface of the rotor tightly fastened and with their Radialdichtungsabschnit- th in sliding and sealing abutment against each of them associated side of the partition can be brought.
  • both seals extend around the entire circumference of the rotor on the cylindrical surface, since due to the rotation of the rotor or the storage mass of each peripheral portion of the seals in both flow sectors or fluid flows and thus reaches opposite pressure differences is exposed.
  • the stability during operation of the rotary heat exchanger with high
  • the seals of the sealing device of the rotary heat exchanger according to the invention are made of a fluid-impermeable, abrasion-resistant and flexible material, e.g. formed of an artificial leather material, an extruded plastic or the like., So that the Axialdichtungsabitese of the seals can be mounted tightly on the cylindrical outer surface of the rotor and the radial sealing portions of the seals in sliding and sealing contact with the respective side of the partition can be brought.
  • both seals with their Axialdich- processing sections in sliding and sealing contact against the cylindrical outer surface of the rotor and brought with their radial sealing sections on their respective side of the Design partition tightly fastened.
  • the seal can then be provided exclusively on the respective inflow side of the flow sectors of the dividing wall, since there is always a higher pressure on the inflow side than on the outflow side.
  • the first seal is attached to the partition and slidably disposed on the cylindrical outer surface of the rotor and extends only over a peripheral portion of the circular section of the partition wall associated with the flow sector of the first fluid flow.
  • the second seal is also secured to the bulkhead and slidably disposed on the cylindrical outer surface of the rotor, wherein the second seal extends only over a peripheral portion of the circular section of the partition associated with the flow sector of the second fluid flow.

  • the rotary heat exchanger 1 has an approximately square holder 4 in the illustrated embodiment with respect to its outer contour. This holder 4 surrounds a rotor 5 of the rotary heat exchanger 1 on the circumference of the rotor.
  • the rotor 5 has a cylindrical outer circumferential surface 6, which may for example consist of a suitable sheet. Furthermore, the rotor 5 has a first flow sector 7, which, as is apparent from Figure 1, from the outside air or to ⁇ air flow 2 is flowed through. Accordingly, the rotor 5 has a second flow sector 8, which is flowed through in the opposite direction to the outside air or supply air stream 2 from the exhaust air or exhaust air stream 3.
  • the rotor 5 of the rotary heat exchanger 1 is rotatably arranged around a bearing or a hub not shown in the figures.
  • the inflow side of the outside air or supply air stream 3 is tightly separated from the outflow side thereof. Accordingly, in the rotary heat exchanger 1, the downstream side of the exhaust air or exhaust air stream 3 is separated from the latter on the upstream side thereof. It should be noted that, in FIGS. 1 and 2, the rotary heat exchanger 1 is shown from the inflow side of the outside air or supply air flow 2 and the downstream side of the exhaust air or exhaust air flow 3.
  • a sealing device 9 is arranged, by means of which the arrival and outflow side of the outside air or supply air stream 2 and the exhaust air or exhaust air stream 3 are tightly separated from each other.

  • the first annular sealing lip 12 is in the illustrated embodiment of the rotary heat exchanger 1 on the upstream side of the outside air or supply air stream 2 and corresponding to the downstream side of the exhaust air or exhaust air stream 3 at the inner diameter of the circular section 11 of the partition 10.
  • the second annular sealing lip 13 is arranged on the outflow side of the outside air or supply air flow 2 and the upstream side of the exhaust air or exhaust air flow 3 at the inner diameter of the circular section 10 of the partition 10, as can be seen in particular from FIG results.
  • the two annular sealing lips 12, 13 extend around the entire circumference of the rotor 5 on its cylindrical outer circumferential surface 6.
  • the partition wall 10 and the two annular sealing lips 12, 13 are arranged at an axial distance to both end faces of the rotor 5 on or on the cylindrical outer circumferential surface 6.
  • the first annular sealing lip 12 has an axial sealing portion oriented in the axial direction of the rotor 5
  • the first annular sealing lip has a radial sealing portion oriented in the radial direction of the rotor 5
  • the second annular sealing lip 13 arranged on the outflow side of the outside air or supply air flow 2 and thus the inflow side of the exhaust air or exhaust air flow 3 of the partition 10, as shown in FIG. 3, has an axial sealing section 16 oriented in the axial direction of the rotor 5 , which is seated on the cylindrical outer circumferential surface 6 of the rotor 5 and there tightly mounted or mounted, and oriented in the radial direction of the rotor 5 radial sealing portion 17 which sits on the upstream side of the exhaust air or exhaust air stream 3 of the partition 10 and there against this side of the partition 10 can be brought into sealing contact.
  • the two annular sealing lips 12, 13 are made of a suitable fluid impermeable, abrasion resistant and flexible material, e.g. from an artificial leather material, an extruded plastic or the like. Accordingly, the Axialdichtungsabitese 14, 16 of the two annular sealing lips 12, 13 can be mounted tightly and tightly on the cylindrical outer mantle surface 6 of the rotor, at the same time the radial sealing portions 15, 17 of the two annular sealing lips 12, 13 in sliding and sealing engagement with the each associated side of the partition 10 can be brought.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un échangeur de chaleur rotatif qui peut être traversé à contre-courant par un premier flux de fluide, par exemple un flux d'air extérieur ou d'air entrant, et par un second flux de fluide, par exemple un flux d'air sortant ou un flux d'air rejeté, et qui est muni d'un rotor (5) monté rotatif qui présente un premier secteur d'écoulement pour le premier flux de fluide et un second secteur d'écoulement pour le second flux de fluide qu'il traverse lors de sa rotation, d'un support dans lequel le rotor (5) est monté rotatif, et d'un dispositif d'étanchéité (9) qui permet de séparer le côté écoulement d'entrée du premier flux de fluide et le côté écoulement de sortie du second flux de fluide du côté écoulement de sortie du premier flux de fluide ou du côté écoulement d'entrée du second flux de fluide. L'invention vise à simplifier le dispositif d'étanchéité tout en assurant automatiquement une étanchéité fiable entre les côtés écoulement d'entrée et de sortie des deux flux de fluide lorsque l'échangeur de chaleur rotatif fonctionne. À cet effet, le dispositif d'étanchéité (9) présente un premier joint d'étanchéité (12) qui assure l'étanchéité par rapport à la face d'une paroi de séparation (10) agencée côté écoulement d'entrée du premier flux de fluide, et un second joint d'étanchéité (13) qui assure l'étanchéité par rapport à la face de la même paroi de séparation (10) agencée côté écoulement d'entrée du second flux de fluide.
