Definitions
- the invention relates to a heat exchanger for the indirect heat transfer between a fluid first medium and at least one fluid second medium.
- Such a heat exchanger is e.g. used in natural gas liquefaction plants and has a shell space for receiving a first medium (refrigerant) and a plurality of tubes arranged in the shell space for receiving at least one second medium, which are wound around a core tube and a
- the tube bundle has a plurality of spacers for supporting or mechanically stabilizing the tube layers, which are each arranged in a tube bundle gap between two adjacent tube layers or in particular also in an innermost tube bundle gap between an innermost tube layer and an outer side of the
- the number of spacers per tube bundle gap is usually constant, so that the spacers for supporting the tube layers can be arranged one above the other in the radial direction of the tube bundle. In this way, the weight of all pipe layers can be supported by the spacers without damaging the pipes of individual pipe layers.
- the spacers reduce in a cross-sectional plane of the
- the calculated pressure drop in the shell space in the radial direction would not be constant, but greater inside than further outside. Since the flow through the column, however In reality, if the pressure loss is the same everywhere, the result is a higher flow velocity for the gaps further outside than for the gaps further inside and therefore a higher dynamic and lower static pressure component. This can then lead to a maldistribution of the phase of the first medium carried in the jacket space in the direction of the outer layers of the tube bundle in the jacket space.
- the present invention is therefore based on the problem of creating a heat exchanger of the type mentioned at the beginning which counteracts the above-mentioned maldistribution.
- the thicknesses of the spacers of a first tube bundle gap being greater than the thicknesses of the spacers of a second tube bundle gap which lies further out in the radial direction of the tube bundle, i.e. closer to the jacket than the first tube bundle gap.
- the individual tubes of the tube bundle are preferably wound helically on or around the core tube.
- the respective tube bundle gap is designed accordingly, in particular in the form of an annular gap.
- the core tube extends along a longitudinal axis of the jacket, the longitudinal axis in the case of a designated or intended use.
- heat exchanger arranged ready for operation is aligned vertically. Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the thicknesses of those spacers which are arranged in the same tube bundle gap are of the same size.
- the spacers have more than two, in particular three to four, different thicknesses in the radial direction of the tube bundle, the thickness of the spacers in the radial direction from the core tube to the jacket from the tube bundle gap
- Tube bundle gap decreases or remains the same. I.e. in particular that two or more tube bundle gaps that are adjacent in the radial direction can have spacers of the same thickness and only then does a decrease in thickness take place (at the transition to the next further outward tube bundle gap). I.e. the thickness does not necessarily have to decrease from tube bundle gap to tube bundle gap, but can also decrease in steps towards the outside.
- Tube bundle gap to tube bundle gap decreases.
- the thickness of the spacers decreases strictly monotonically towards the outside (in the radial direction).
- the spacers are designed as longitudinally extending webs which each extend in a longitudinal direction.
- the spacers or webs can have a rectangular cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, which has the said thickness, and a width perpendicular thereto (in the circumferential direction of the tube bundle).
- the longitudinal direction of the respective spacer is parallel to the core tube or to the
- the longitudinal axis of the jacket / core tube runs.
- the respective spacer extends over an entire length of the tube bundle along the core tube or the longitudinal axis. Furthermore, it is provided according to one embodiment of the invention that the spacers in the respective tube bundle gap in the circumferential direction of the
- Tube bundle are arranged equidistant from one another.
- the spacers are grouped in such a way that a plurality of spacers for supporting the pipe layers are arranged one above the other in a radial direction of the pipe bundle.
- the number of spacers in the respective tube bundle gap is the same.
- Fig. 1 is a partially sectioned view of an embodiment of a
- Heat exchangers that have thicknesses decreasing in the radial direction
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic sectional view of a tube bundle of a heat exchanger according to the invention along a sectional plane which runs perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the core tube according to FIG.
- FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a heat exchanger 1 according to the invention.
- This has a jacket 2 which encloses a jacket space I of the heat exchanger 1.
- a tube bundle 15 is arranged, which is acted upon along the longitudinal axis Z of the heat exchanger 1 or shell 2 with a liquid phase of a first medium M, which is, for example, a refrigerant.
- At least one second fluid medium M ′ is guided in the tubes 10 of the tube bundle 15, so that it can enter into an indirect heat exchange with the first medium M guided in the shell space I.
- nozzles 3, 4 can be provided on the shell 2.
- the tube bundle 15 has a plurality of tubes 10, the tubes 10 each being wound at least in sections, preferably in a helical manner, around or onto a core tube 20 arranged in the shell space I, which extends along the
- Longitudinal axis Z extends so that a plurality of pipe layers 101, 102, 103, 104 are formed, which lie one above the other in the radial direction R of the tube bundle 15 or of the core tube 20.
- the respective radial direction R is perpendicular to the
- the tubes 10 are for admitting at least one second medium M ‘into the
- At least one connector 6 is provided on the jacket 2 for drawing off the at least one medium M ‘from the tube bundle 15.
- the tube bundle 15 can also be used to introduce various second media M ‘in
- Figure 1 shows an example of three such tube groups.
- the tube bundle 15 can be surrounded by a cylindrical shirt 7 in order to suppress a bypass flow past the tube bundle 15.
- each spacer 30 is provided (cf. in particular FIG. 2), each of which is arranged in a tube bundle gap 200, 201, 202, 203, the respective Tube bundle gap 200, 201, 202, 203 is formed by two adjacent tube layers 100, 101; 101, 102, ... which extend in the radial direction R.
- Spacers 30 are provided so that the spacers 30 can be arranged one above the other in the radial direction R.
- the aforementioned constant number of spacers 30 per tube bundle gap 200, 201, 202, 203 has the consequence in the prior art that the relative reduction of a free cross-sectional area F of the respective
- Tube bundle gap 200, 201, 202, 203 due to the spacers 30 arranged one above the other in the radial direction R is greater closer to the core tube 20 than in the case of tube bundle gaps further out. Close to the core tube 20, this leads to a greater pressure drop on the shell space side in the tube bundle 15 than in areas or tube bundle gaps located further out in the radial direction R.
- the spacers 30 each have a thickness D in the radial direction R of the tube bundle 15, the thicknesses D of the spacers of a first tube bundle gap (e.g. 200 ) are each greater than the thickness of the spacers of a second tube bundle gap (eg 201) which lies further out in the radial direction R of the tube bundle 15, ie is closer to shell 2 than the first tube bundle gap (e.g. 200).
- the thicknesses of the spacers 30 are preferably the same.
- the spacers 30 have more than two, in particular three to four, different thicknesses D in the radial direction R of the tube bundle 15, the thickness D of the spacers 30 in the radial direction R from the core tube 20 to the jacket 2 decreases or remains the same from tube bundle gap to tube bundle gap. I.e. in particular that two or more tube bundle gaps adjacent in the radial direction R can have spacers 30 of the same thickness and only then is there a decrease in thickness D, so that there is a stepped decrease in thicknesses D towards the outside.
- Tube bundle gap 200, 201; 201, 202; 202, 203 decreases.
- the spacers 30 are preferably designed as elongated webs 30 (cf. FIG. 1), each of which extends in a longitudinal direction.
- the spacers 30 or webs can have a rectangular cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. It is preferably provided that the longitudinal direction of the respective spacer is parallel to the core tube 20 or parallel to the longitudinal axis Z runs. Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the respective spacer 30 extends over an entire length of the tube bundle 15 along the core tube 20.
- the spacers 30 are preferably arranged equidistant from one another in the respective tube bundle gap 200, 201, 202, 203.
- the free cross-sectional area F of the tube bundle gaps located further out (e.g. 202, 203) can be reduced or to the free
- Cross-sectional areas F of the further inner tube bundle gaps are matched, which counteracts the jacket-side maldistribution of the first medium or the refrigerant.
