Definitions

  • the invention relates to an annular heat exchanger comprising at least two circumferentially enclosed tube profiles arranged inside each other for media flow and having a thermal conductive structure arranged inside.
  • Heat exchangers comprised of at least two tubes for media flow arranged inside each other are sometimes referred to as "tube-in-tube” exchangers.
  • the tube in “tube-in-tube” exchangers has two principal functions - it separates the media and at the same time serves as a heat-exchange surface. Thermal convection from the media to the heat exchanger material is decisive for the exchange of heat, while thermal conduction is present to a minimal extent, just by the tube wall.
  • the heat exchange surface can be increased by finning.
  • the fins are part of the tube and have a thickness on the order of mm. In this case, both thermal convection and thermal conduction are partly present, but thermal convection is still decisive.
  • Finning increasing of the heat exchange surface is used unilaterally - inside or outside.
  • a tube for exchangers according to the preamble of claim 1, filled with a heat-exchange surface having the shape of fins is known from the patent US6533030 .
  • heat exchangers are known that are filled with a honeycomb-shaped structure.
  • the Japanese patents JPH02150691 and JPS62288495 can be mentioned as an example.
  • rotary regenerative heat exchangers made e.g. by the company KASST are known, which use the condenser principle, which means that they are cyclically charged and after the charged part of the heat exchange surface is turned to a place with a lower temperature they are discharged again.
  • This is quite a different functional principle from that of "tube-in-tube” exchangers from the technical point of view.
  • the object of the invention is to adapt known "tube-in-tube” exchangers to achieve a considerable weight reduction and an increase of the exchanger output.
  • the said object is achieved through an annular heat exchanger comprising at least two circumferentially enclosed tube profiles arranged inside each other for media flow and having a thermal conductive structure arranged inside according to the invention, the principle of which is that the thermal conductive structure comprises a helically tightly wound pair of bands lying on each other, the first band being smooth, the other band being corrugated transversally to the winding direction to create flow channels.
  • An advantage of the invention is that the individual thermal conductive structures are separated from each other by the respective tube profiles which work as a heat exchange surface in standard exchangers, but in the inventive exchanger they predominantly act as media separators.
  • the tube profiles do not primarily form a heat exchange surface, but a piece of the exchanger that separates the media so the tube profiles can be sized to the respective pressure difference and the exchanger according to the invention can be used for almost any media pressure difference. Since the thermal conductive structure can have a thickness of tens of micrometers regardless of the media pressures while the thickness of the wall and possible fins in finned tubes of known exchangers is on the orders of millimeters, i.e. 2 orders thicker, the weight of the exchanger according to the invention is considerably lower at the same output.
  • the tube profiles can have in principle any cross-section, especially circular, oval, or rectangular.
  • the thermal conductive structure preferably fills the tube profiles completely.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a cross-section of the first example of an annular heat exchanger according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 shows a detail of the design of the thermal conductive structure in the area of the inner profile.
  • Figs. 3, 4 , 5 and 6 show other embodiments of annular heat exchanger according to the invention.
  • An embodiment of an annular heat exchanger according to Fig. 1 comprises three concentrically arranged tube profiles for media flow, namely the outer profile 1, inner profile 2 and central profile 7.
  • the tube profiles 1, 2, 7 consist of tubes with a circular cross-section
  • the intermediate spaces between these profiles 1, 2, 7 are completely filled with a thermal conductive structure 3 that is composed of a helically tightly wound pair of bands 4, 5 of aluminum sheet with the thickness of 0,05mm, lying on each other.
  • the first band 4 is smooth while the other band 5 is corrugated transversally to the winding direction to produce flow channels 6 (see Fig. 2 ).
  • annular heat exchanger according to Fig. 3 only differs from the embodiment of Fig. 1 in that it does not have a central profile 7 and that the entire inner profile 2 is completely filled by the thermal conductive structure 3.
  • Figs. 5 and 6 show examples of exchangers whose tube profiles 1, 2 have a rectangular cross-section. A skilled person will find it obvious that the profiles 1, 2, 7 can virtually have any cross-section with enclosed circumference.
  • the annular heat exchanger according to the present invention can be connected as a counter-current or co-current exchanger with any number of inserted profiles 1, 2, 7.
  • the exchanger can also be used for liquid/liquid media, but its benefits are maximally manifested when used for gas/gas and gas/liquid media and in applications with a high pressure difference at the hot and cold side (steam generators, recuperators of combustion turbines, condensers, evaporators).
  • annular heat exchanger The function of an annular heat exchanger according to the present invention will be described using the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 and 2 .
  • the other embodiments work in an analogous way.
  • Hot medium is supplied to the space between the inner profile 2 and the central profile 7 where the medium transfers heat by convection into the thermal conductive structure 3.
  • the thermal conductive structure 3 conducts this heat to the tube that forms the inner profile 2 and subsequently the heat is conducted to the thermal conductive structure 3 that fills the space between the inner profile 2 and the outer profile 1.
  • the thermal conductive structure 3 transfers heat by convection into the colder medium that flows in this space. The motion of heat is indicated with arrows in Fig. 2 .
  • the annular heat exchanger according to the present invention is based on combined heat exchange when thermal convection has the same importance as thermal conduction. Its heat transfer surface is maximized by insertion of the thermal conductive structure 3 described above. Heat transfer into this thermal conductive structure 3 and the subsequent thermal conduction by this thermal conductive structure 3 to the separating wall of the respective profile 1, 2, 7 are equally used for the heat exchange. Thus, thermal conduction by the thermal conductive structure 3 is applied to a considerably higher extent, being equally important as thermal convection in the exchanger based on the present invention.
  • the exchanger based on the present invention can be used for virtually any pressure difference of media.
  • the tube profiles 1, 2, 7 do not primarily form a heat-exchange surface, but a media-separating part of the exchanger. Since the thermal conductive structure can have a thickness of tens of micrometers regardless of the media pressures while the thickness of the wall and possible fins in finned tubes of known exchangers is on the orders of millimeters, i.e. 2 orders thicker, the weight of the exchanger according to the invention is considerably lower at the same output.
  • a comparison calculation utilizing a numerical model in the ANSYS CFD program was used to compare the heat output transferred by a 50-mm aluminum tube with the diameter of 20 mm in four versions, simulating 4 different types of exchangers:
