Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dry-expansion tube bundle heat exchanger.
- dry-expansion tube bundle heat exchangers comprising a tube bundle arranged internally of a shell closed by a front end head and a rear end head.
- the refrigerating fluid circulates on the tube side while the secondary fluid, typically water or a non-freezable solution, circulates on the shell side.
- An inlet mouth of the secondary fluid is provided on the shell in proximity of an end head and an outlet mouth of the secondary fluid in proximity of the opposite head end.
- the relative tubes extending internally of the shell have an inflow pathway and an outflow pathway positioned at the said end head.
- These heat exchangers have some drawbacks, in particular linked to the size thereof, sometimes excessive with respect to the space available for the installation, to the efficiency thereof which can be negatively impacted by the presence of significant losses of load both on the tube side and on the shell side, and to the possible creation of stagnant zones of the secondary fluid in the corner zone between the shell and the end heads, with a consequent risk of freezing of the secondary fluid.
- GB918180 and DE1190963 disclose heat exchangers according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the technical task of the present invention is, therefore, to provide a dry-expansion tube bundle heat exchanger which obviates the above-described technical drawbacks of the prior art.
- an objective of the invention is to provide a dry-expansion tube bundle heat exchanger that is compact and extremely efficient.
- a dry-expansion tube bundle heat exchanger comprising a shell, a front end head, a rear end head, characterised in that it comprises a first and a second inlet mouth of a shell side secondary circulating fluid and a single secondary fluid outlet mouth.
- said first inlet mouth is advantageously positioned on the shell between said front end head and said median plane and said second inlet mouth is positioned on the shell between said rear end head and said median plane.
- said first inlet mouth is positioned at a distance from said front end head that is smaller than a distance thereof from said median plane, and said second inlet mouth is positioned at a distance from said rear end head that is smaller than a distance thereof from said median plane.
- the outlet mouth can be positioned on the shell at a median plane of the shell that is perpendicular to the axis of the shell.
- the outlet mouth can also be positioned on the shell at one of two semi-portions which make up one semi-part of the shell comprised between said median plane of the shell that is perpendicular to the axis of the shell and an end of the shell.
- the tube bundle comprises at least a single circuit of refrigerating fluid.
- the tube bundle can also advantageously comprise at least a first and at least a second circuit of refrigerating fluid in which the first refrigerating circuit has an inflow pathway at the front end head and the second refrigerating circuit has an inflow pathway at the rear end head.
- the position of the inlet mouths of the secondary fluid in proximity of the end heads enables obtaining the desired extra heating on the aspiration, with a consequent improvement in the efficiency and a reduction of load losses on the tube side and the shell side.
- the flow rate of the secondary fluid is halved with respect to the traditional configuration of a single inlet mouth, so that the tube bundle and consequently the shell can have a smaller diameter, which also allows a reduction of size and an installation in smaller spaces.
- the inlet point of the secondary fluid which is the hottest point
- the inlet point of the refrigerating fluid which is the coldest point
- the inlet mouths have an inclined axis towards the end heads.
- inlet mouths inclined in this way can be connected to an inlet manifold by bends of less than 90°, with a further reduction in loss loads on the inlet manifold.
- the present invention also relates to a refrigerating plant of a liquid which comprises, as an evaporator of the refrigerating fluid, at least a heat exchanger of this type.
- the heat exchanger 1 comprises a shell 2 closed at the ends by a front end head 3 and a rear end head 4.
- the tube bundle (not illustrated) is present internally of the shell 2 in which the refrigerating fluid circulates.
- the heat exchanger 1 comprises a first inlet mouth 5 of the secondary fluid which circulates on the shell side 2, a second inlet mouth 6 of the secondary fluid and a single outlet mouth 7 of the secondary fluid.
- the first inlet mouth 5 is positioned on the shell 2 between the front end head 3 and the median plane M of the shell 2 and the second inlet mouth 6 is positioned on the shell 2 between the rear end head 4 and the median plane M of the shell 2.
- first inlet mouth 5 is positioned at a distance from the front end head 3 that is smaller than a distance thereof from the median plane M of the shell 2
- second inlet mouth 6 is positioned at a distance from the rear end head 4 that is smaller than a distance thereof from the median plane M of the shell 2.
- the first inlet mouth 5 and the second inlet mouth 6 are more precisely arranged in a symmetrical position with respect to the median plane M of the shell 2.
- the outlet mouth 7 is in turn positioned on the shell 2 at a median plane M of the shell 2.
- the first inlet mouth 5 and the second inlet mouth 6 have a passage section of a same size, and the outlet mouth 7 has a passage section of a size equal to the passage section of the first outlet mouth 5, and of the second outlet mouth 6.
- the velocity of the secondary fluid at the outlet is doubled with respect to the velocity of the secondary fluid at the inlet.
- the outlet mouth 7 in order to maintain the same velocity of the secondary fluid at the inlet and at the outlet the outlet mouth 7 has a passage section equal to the sum of the passage sections of the first inlet mouth 5 and the second inlet mouth 6.
- the tube bundle comprise a first refrigerating circuit and a second refrigerating circuit.
- the first refrigerating circuit has an inflow pathway 8 at the front end head 3 and the second refrigerating circuit has an inflow pathway 9 at the rear end head 4.
- the first refrigerating circuit further has an outflow pathway 10 at the rear end head 4, while the second refrigerating circuit has an outflow pathway 11 at the front end head 3.
- the first inlet mouth 5 has an axis B1 orientated towards the front end head 3 and likewise the second inlet mouth 6 has an axis B2 orientated towards the rear end head 4.
- the first inlet mouth 5 has an axis B1 orientated at an angle ⁇ comprised between 60° and 90° with respect to the axis L of the shell 2 and likewise the second inlet mouth 6 has an axis B2 that is orientated at an angle ⁇ comprised between 60° and 90° with respect to the axis L of the shell 2.
- the first inlet mouth 5 and the second inlet mouth 6 are arranged with the axes B1, B2 thereof lying in a same plane.
- the axis B3 of the outlet mouth 7 is offset from the plane in which the axes B1, B2 of the first inlet mouth 5 and second inlet mouth 6 are positioned.
- the axis B3 of the outlet mouth 7 is orientated at an angle comprised between 0° and 90° with respect to the plane in which the axes B1, B2 of the first inlet mouth 5 and second inlet mouth 6 are positioned.
- the heat exchanger 1 functions as an evaporator in a liquid refrigeration plant. More in general, the heat exchanger can be integrated in a conditioning plant, in a cooling plant, or in a heat pump plant.
