Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shell heat exchanger comprising a plate heat exchanging section which comprises a stack of corrugated heat transfer plates.
  • the invention further relates to use of a shell heat exchanger.
  • Heat exchangers are commonly used for transferring heat between two or more fluids e.g. in cooling or heating processes in connection with refrigeration, air conditioning, chemical plants, power stations or other industrial applications.
  • the simplest heat exchanger may be arranged such that a first fluid and a second fluid flow in a parallel flow or in a counter flow and wherein the fluids are separated by a plate. Due to the temperature difference, energy may be transferred across the plate from the first fluid to the second fluid at a rate depending on the temperature difference, fluid velocity, contact area, thermal conductivity of the separating wall etc.
  • a plate heat exchanger is designed such that (among others) a large contact area for increasing the heat transfer rate is obtained. This is achieved by pressing a plurality of plates together to form a compact plate stack.
  • the individual plates are usually separated by a sealing gasket. Since some heat exchangers are used for evaporating or condensing a refrigerant in connection with e.g. a refrigeration cycle, the pressure inside the plate heat exchanger may be higher or lower than the surroundings such that the refrigerant is able to evaporate/condense. However, constructing a plate heat exchanger for these circumstances is expensive and if the difference between the inside pressure of the plate heat exchanger and the surrounding pressure is too large, the sealing gaskets may malfunction as a result of the pressure difference and thereby the efficiency of the plate heat exchanger is negatively affected. Thus, it is known to arrange a plate heat exchanger inside an enclosed shell to form a plate-and-shell heat exchanger.
  • the enclosed shell is able to withstand e.g. large pressure difference between the surroundings and the inside of the shell and arranging the plate heat exchanger inside the shell therefore enables use of a plate heat exchanger under large pressure difference.
  • further elements such as coalescers, demisters, pipework, filters, filler elements or other additional elements are also needed inside the shell of the shell heat exchanger e.g. to provide additional functionality to the shell heat exchanger.
  • this can be difficult if the plate stack is fully enclosed by shell.
  • the invention provides for a shell heat exchanger comprising a plate heat exchanging section which comprises a stack of corrugated heat transfer plates and a tube heat exchanging section which comprises a plurality of heat exchanging tubes.
  • the plate heat exchanging section and the tube heat exchanging section are arranged separate from each other. Furthermore, the plate heat exchanging section and the tube heat exchanging are enclosed inside the same common shell.
  • Providing a shell heat exchanger with both a plate heat exchanging portion and a tube heat exchanging portion inside the same pressure vessel is advantageous in that a plurality of heat exchanging pipes may be dispersed in the free and unused space surrounding the stack of heat exchanging plates of the plate heat exchanging section, whereby the capacity and the efficiency of the shell heat exchanger is increased.
  • Combining heat transfer plates and heat transfer tubes in the same shell is further advantageous in that a plurality of possible setups of heat exchanging functions of the shell heat exchanger may be achieved, such as condenser and/or evaporator applications in one unit and separating the tube heat exchanging section and the plate heat exchanging section from each other is advantageous in that a first refrigerant may flow around the tubes in the tube heat exchanging section and a second refrigerant may flow around the heat transfer plates in the plate heat exchanging section, hereby enabling a shell heat exchanger with multiple heat exchanging functions and high adaptability to operational requirement is obtained.
  • tube heat exchanging section should be understood as a portion of the space inside the shell heat exchanger, wherein heat is exchanged through the wall of a tube, pipe, cylinder or tubular structural element suited for conducting a fluid, gas, a finely divided solid or other.
  • plate heat exchanging section should be understood as a portion of the space inside the shell heat exchanger, wherein heat is exchanged through the wall of a heat transfer plate, disc, sheet or other.
  • the shell has a tubular shape and wherein the tubular shell is closed at both ends.
  • Constructing the shell in a substantially tubular shape which is closed at both ends is advantageous in that the shell heat exchanger may withstand a large pressure difference between the inside of the shell and the surroundings.
  • the stack of corrugated heat transfer plates is arranged to extend substantially the entire length of the tubular shell.
  • Arranging the plate stack such that it extends the entire length of the shell is advantageous in that the full length of the tubular shell is utilized for heat transfer whereby the capacity and efficiency of the heat exchanger is enhanced.
  • the tube heat exchanging section is arranged to extend substantially the entire length of the tubular shell.
  • Arranging the tubes so that they extend the entire length of the shell is advantageous in that the full length of the tubular shell is utilized for heat transfer whereby the capacity and efficiency of the heat exchanger is enhanced.
  • the plurality of heat exchanging tubes are substantially running in parallel.
  • Forming the pipe to run in parallel is advantageous in that they hereby may be dispersed evenly and compact inside the shell heat exchanger and whereby the space inside the shell heat exchanger is utilized effectively resulting in even heat transfer throughout the length of the shell heat exchanger. Furthermore, arranging the heat exchanging tubes such that they are substantially running in parallel is advantageous in that the flow disturbance through the shell is minimized.
  • the plurality of heat exchanging tubes are arranged to extend in a longitudinal direction of the shell.
  • Making the tubes extend in the longitudinal direction of the shell is advantageous in that the tubes can be formed longer and with fewer bends thus reducing pressure loss and cost.
  • the plurality of heat exchanging tubes are arranged to extend transversely in relation to a longitudinal direction of the shell.
  • Arranging the plurality of heat exchanging tubes such that they extend transversely in relation to a longitudinal direction of the shell is advantageous in that the heat exchanging tubes are arranged such that the surrounding fluid flows in a cross-flow in relation to the heat exchanging tubes which enhances the heat transfer and thereby the capacity and the efficiency of the shell heat exchanger.
  • the plate heat exchanging section comprises a first flow channel through the shell, wherein the tube heat exchanging section comprises a second flow channel through the shell. Furthermore, the first flow channel is separate from the second flow channel.
  • Arranging plate stack and tubes with separate flow channels is advantageous in that a first fluid may flow through the first flow channel and a second fluid may flow through the second flow channel without intermixing with each other and/or the fluid flowing around the heat exchanging tubes and the heat transfer plates. Furthermore, the first fluid may be led to an installation and used for one purpose and the second fluid may be led to another installation and used for another purpose. This is advantageous in that a shell heat exchanger with a plurality of heat exchanging functions and high adaptability to different operating requirements is obtained.
  • the tube heat exchanging section comprises a support structure arranged to mutually fixate the plurality of heat exchanging tubes, wherein the support structure is arranged to be a flow director in relation to the plate heat exchanging section.
  • Providing the tube heat exchanging section with a support structure which is arranged to fixate the tubes is advantageous in that the tubes are fixated such that e.g. flow-induced vibrations of the heat exchanging tubes arising from the flow inside the tubes are reduced. Furthermore, arranging the support structure as a flow director allows obstructing the fluid flow such that multiple passes through the plate heat exchanging section inside the shell can be achieved whereby the fluid flowing around the tube heat exchanging section and plate heat exchanging section flows substantially concurrent in some parts of the heat exchanger and substantially crossflow in other parts of the heat exchanger whereby the heat transfer and thereby the capacity and efficiency of the heat exchanger is enhanced. And forming the support structure as a flow director is advantageous in that it saves space and material and simplifies manufacturing.
  • the support structure may induce adequate turbulence in the fluid flowing around the tubes and plates such that the heat transfer and thereby the capacity and efficiency of the heat exchanger is enhanced.
  • the shell heat exchanger further comprises a separator arranged inside the shell to at least partially separate a medium flowing through the shell heat exchanger.
  • a separator inside the shell is advantageous in that the separator thereby does not have to be arranged in its own shell and in that piping and costs are reduced. Also, arranging a separator inside the shell is advantageous in that impurities which affect the heat transfer rate and/or functionality of the shell heat exchanger are separated from the flow. Hereby the efficiency of shell heat exchanger is enhanced.
  • the separator is a liquid separator
  • Providing the shell heat exchanger with a liquid separator is advantageous in that liquids, which may not effectively contribute to the transfer of heat, is separated from the fluid flow whereby the heat transfer and efficiency of the shell heat exchanger is enhanced.
  • the separated liquid which could be oil originating from a lubrication system of for example a compressor, may be redirected back to the lubrication system such a substantially fixed amount of oil is circulated in the system. This is advantageous in that refilling of oil in the lubrication circuit and oil leak to the surroundings is minimized.
  • liquid should be understood as oil, water, refrigerant or any other fluid in liquid state which may be separated from the fluid flow inside the plate and shell heat exchanger.
  • the centre of the plate heat exchanging section and/or the centre of the tube heat exchanging section are offset to the centre of the shell.
  • Providing the centre of the plate heat exchanging section and/or the centre of the tube heat exchanging section offset to the centre of the shell is advantageous in that the plate heat exchanging section or tube heat exchanging section may be arranged at different positions inside the shell heat exchanger for utilizing the entire space efficiently such that the heat transfer and thereby the capacity and the efficiency of the shell heat exchanger is enhanced.
  • centre should be understood as the centroid of the area of the cross-sectional shape.
  • the centre of a plate heat exchanging section of circular cross-section should be understood as the point in the circular area at which the distance to the boundary of the circular area is constant.
  • determining the centre for a cross-section of complex geometry may not be straight-forward.
  • centre should be understood as the centroid of an area which may be determined from the first moment of area. Accordingly, if the mass in the area is not evenly distributed, the centre of gravity/mass is not coincident with the centroid.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the stack of corrugated heat transfer plates is arranged to follow a part of the inside circumference of the shell.
  • the shell heat exchanger is arranged to operate at an inside pressure different from the outside pressure of the shell.

  • a condenser is typically a part of a refrigeration cycle which transfers energy from a first fluid, e.g. a refrigerant, to a second fluid of lower temperature, e.g. water for the purpose of providing hot water to e.g. an industrial or domestic installation. Due to the temperature difference between the water and the refrigerant, heat will transfer from the refrigerant to the water in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics. In this example, the temperature of the water rises as a result of the heat transfer from the refrigerant to the water and consequently the temperature of the refrigerant will be lowered and/or it may condense, hence the term "condenser".
