Definitions

  • the invention relates to a port insert for a heat exchanger.
  • Plate heat exchangers typically comprise two end plates in between which a number of heat transfer plates are arranged in an aligned manner, i.e. in a stack or pack.
  • gaskets are arranged between the heat transfer plates in gasket grooves pressed in the heat transfer plates.
  • the end plates, and therefore the heat transfer plates, are pressed towards each other by some kind of tightening means, whereby the gaskets seal between the heat transfer plates.
  • Parallel flow channels, defined by the gaskets are formed between the heat transfer plates, one channel between each pair of adjacent heat transfer plates.
  • Two fluids of initially different temperatures, which are fed to/from the PHE through portholes of the endplates may flow alternately through every second channel for transferring heat from one fluid to the other.
  • the fluids enter/exit the channels through inlet/outlet portholes in the heat transfer plates which form inlet/outlet ports of the PHE communicating with the portholes of the endplates.
  • the portholes of the end plates of the PHE are feeding portholes used to feed the fluids to and from the PHE, while the rest of the portholes are blind portholes not used for fluid feed.
  • a set of connection means such as studbolts, is provided for each of the portholes of the endplates.
  • the studbolts are arranged equidistantly around the portholes and project from an outside of the endplates to enable connection of external fluid connections for the feeding portholes and blind covers for the blind portholes.
  • filters may be arranged in the inlet ports of the PHE.
  • a known filter arrangement for a PHE port comprises two port inserts.
  • a first one of the port inserts includes a tubular filter and an annular flange extending radially from an outside of the tubular filter.
  • a second one of the port inserts includes a short tube and an annular flange extending radially from an outside of the tube.
  • the first port insert is inserted, from one side of the PHE, into the porthole of one of the endplates and further into the corresponding port such that the tubular filter is arranged inside the port and the flange abuts a gasket which, in turn, abuts the outside of the end plate.
  • the second port insert is inserted, from the other side of the PHE, into the corresponding porthole of the other one of the end plates and further into the port such that the tube is arranged inside the port and the flange abuts a gasket which, in turn, abuts the outside of the end plate.
  • the tube of the second port insert will project into the filter of the first port insert, and the filter will, along a short end section thereof, surround the tube.
  • the flanges of the first and second port inserts should typically be concentrically arranged with the respective portholes of the end plates.
  • the flanges are therefore dimensioned after the positioning of the studbolts around the portholes of the endplates such as to enable for the studbolts to be positioned around, and engage with an outer edge of, the flanges to position them properly with respect to the portholes.
  • each PHE model has a plurality of different connection standards, each connection standard having its specific positioning, size and number of the studbolts. This means that a great number of different filter arrangement with different flange dimeters must be provided, typically one filter arrangement for each connection standard.
  • the first and second port inserts of the known filter arrangement comprises handles in the form of bars welded to an inner edge of, and extending diametrically within, the flanges of the first and second port inserts. Sometimes, these bars come loose when they are pulled, which makes removal of the filter difficult.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a port insert for a heat exchanger which reduces the number of different filter arrangements that must be provided for a certain PHE model, and which also removes the need for handles for easy removal of the port insert.
  • the basic concept of the invention is to give the port insert a design that fits different connection standards and that enable simple and non-destructive pulling of the port insert.
  • the port insert is defined in the appended claims and discussed below.
  • a heat exchanger port insert hereinafter also referred to as just "port insert”, according to the invention comprises a tubular portion and a flange projecting from an outside of the tubular portion.
  • the heat exchanger port insert is characterized in that the flange comprises an annular inner portion and a first fastening projection.
  • the first fastening projection has an outer contour.
  • the inner portion comprises an annular inner edge along which the inner portion joins the tubular portion.
  • the first fastening projection protrudes from an annular outer edge of the inner portion so as to give the flange a locally increased width at the first fastening projection.
  • the tubular portion may be a filter or a solid tube.
  • the tubular portion may have any suitable cross section, constant or varying, such as a circular, oval or smooth triangular cross section, typically depending on the design of the ports of the heat exchanger that the port insert is arranged to be used in.
  • the flange may have any suitable design.
  • the design of the inner portion of the flange, and especially the inner edge of the inner portion is adapted to the design of the tubular portion.
  • the design of the inner portion of the flange is adapted to the design of the portholes in the endplates of the heat exchanger that the port insert is arranged to be used in.
  • the inner portion of the flange may have an essentially constant width along its annular extension.
  • the width of the flange may be measured perpendicular to an annular extension of the inner portion of the flange.
  • the inner portion and the first fastening projection of the flange may be integrally formed.
  • the first fastening projection may be fixed to the inner portion by welding, screws or any other suitable method.
  • the first fastening projection is arranged to engage with connection means arranged around one of the portholes of one of the endplates of the heat exchanger that the port insert is arranged to be used in. Thereby, the flange of the port insert is fixed or attached to the endplate while the tubular portion is centered in the corresponding port inside the heat exchanger.
  • the first fastening projection may be designed in an endless number of ways to enable use of one and the same port insert for heat exchangers having different positionings, numbers, types, etc. of connection means. In that the first fastening projection protrudes from the inner portion of the flange, it may easily be grabbed and pulled, for example to remove the port insert from the plate heat exchanger.
  • the first fastening projection may be arranged to engage with connection means in the form of bolts or pins, threaded or not. Then, the port insert may be so designed that the first fastening projection comprises a first bolt, or pin, reception space.

  • the port insert may be such that a longitudinal extension of the cavity, which is measured in a normal direction of the outer edge of the inner portion, is larger than a transverse extension of the cavity.
  • the transverse extension of the cavity is perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the cavity. This configuration may enable a tight engagement between the inner edge of the cavity and connection means arranged on different distances from a center of a porthole of an endplate.
  • the transverse extension of the cavity may be varying along the longitudinal extension of the cavity. This configuration may enable a tight engagement between the inner edge of the cavity and connection means of different sizes arranged on different distances from a center of a porthole of an endplate.
  • the port insert may be so designed that a shape, and thus the inner edge, of the cavity is defined by an outer contour of an object formed by a plurality of, i.e. two or more, imaginary circles of different diameters.

Each of the first and second recesses 72 and 74 defines a possible position for a studbolt 32 received in the second bolt reception space 70. Since the second radius r2 is larger than the first radius r1, the second recess 74 is adapted for engagement with a studbolt 32 of larger diameter than the first recess 72 is.
  • the second recess 74 is arranged on an outside of the first recess 72, it is adapted for engagement with a studbolt 32 arranged on a larger distance from a center of a porthole in an endplate than a studbolt 32 arranged to engage with the first recess 72.

  • the third bolt reception space 82 is a mirroring, along the center axis C of the fastening projection 48, of the second bolt reception space 70.
  • each of the third and fourth recesses 84 and 86 define a possible position for a studbolt 32 received in the third bolt reception space 82, the fourth recess 86 being adapted for engagement with a studbolt 32 of larger diameter, on a larger distance from a porthole center, than the third recess 84 is.
  • each of the fastening projections 48 defines a plurality of, here nine, different positions for engagement with studbolts 32 on different positions and of different sizes to adapt the first and second port inserts 38 and 40 for use with plate heat exchangers of different connection standards.
  • Fig. 5 illustrates the engagement between one of the fastening projections 48 and a studbolt 32 positioned and sized according to one connection standard, wherein the studbolt 32 is received in one of the five positions in the cavity 68.
  • the diameter of the studbolt 32 is just slightly smaller than the diameter of the imaginary circle IC ( Fig. 4 ) defining the position of the studbolt 32. Therefore, since an inner edge of the cavity 68 will extend on opposite sides of, and close to, possibly even in contact with, the studbolt 32, the flange 44 will be rotationally and radially locked by the studbolt 32.
  • Fig. 6 illustrates the engagement between one of the fastening projections 48 and two studbolts 32 positioned and sized according to another connection standard, wherein the studbolts 32 are received in a respective one of the first and third recesses 72 and 84, respectively.
  • the diameter of the studbolts is just slightly smaller than double the first radius r1 ( Fig. 4 ). Since the studbolts 32 will be arranged on opposite sides of, and close to, possibly even in contact with, the fastening projection 48, the flange 44 will be rotationally and radially locked by the studbolts 32.
  • the flange 44 is adaped for use with a total of seven different studbolt configurations, i.e. seven different connection standards of the plate heat exchanger 2, which are illustrated in Fig. 7 .
  • the fastening projections 48 also makes it easy to grab and pull the the first and second port inserts 38 and 40 of the filter arrangement 36, which may facilitate removal of the filter arrangement 36 from the plate heat exchanger 2, for example in connection with maintenance.
  • the portholes 12, 14, 16, 18, 24, 26, 28 and 30 of the end plates 4 and 6 of the plate heat exchanger 2 are feeding portholes used to feed the fluids to and from the PHE, while the rest of the portholes are blind portholes not used for fluid feed.
  • the studbolts 32 together with suitable gaskets and nuts may be used to connect external fluid connections to the feeding portholes and blind covers to the blind portholes.
  • the fastening projections need not all be similarly designed, and the flange could comprise more or less fastening projections than four.
  • the tubular portion of the first port insert need not be a circular cylindrical perforated pipe but it could be formed in any suitable way, such as of mesh, net or coarse filter cloth stretched over a frame.
  • the fastening projections need not be symmetrical with reference to their respective center axes. Consequently, the third bolt reception space need not be a mirroring, along the center axis of the corresponding fastening projection, of the second bolt reception space. Further, one or both of the second and third bolt reception spaces could comprise more than two recesses.
  • the flange is attached by means of one recess and one studbolt only per fastening projection.
  • the flange need not be welded to the tubular portion but it could be attached to the tubular portion in any suitable way.
  • the flange and the tubular portion could also be integrally formed.
