Abstract

1,212,430. Surface condensers; tubular heat exchange elements. SALINE WATER CONVERSION CORP. 5 Nov., 1968 [13 Nov., 1967], No. 52343/68. Heading F4S. [Also in Division B1] A surface condenser unit 10 for the recovery of fresh water from saline water comprises two condenser regions 22 each containing a plurality of horizontal condenser tubes arranged in two triangular sets viz. 30a-30c and 31a-31c, the tubes in each set being in vertical disalignment to prevent condensate from one tube dripping down on to another tube of the same set. In operation saturated saline water from a reservoir 12 flows down through evaporation channels 20 wherein part of the saline water is vaporized, said vapour being condensed on the surface of the condenser tubes through which liquid coolant 32 from an external source (not shown) is passed; the fresh water formed is collected in troughs 40 at the bottom of U- shaped separator elements 26. Unevaporated saline water is collected in a trough 36. An upper baffle 28 is placed above the tubes to deflect liquid droplets to the sides of the condenser region. An intermediate baffle 34 deflects condensate from the upper tube set to the sides of the lower tube set. As shown the surface of each tube is streamlined in the direction of condensate flow to provide a sharp longitudinal edge or fin on the bottom of the condenser tube. This edge may be serrated as at 50 in Fig. 8. In an alternative form (Fig. 5, not shown) a separate straight ribbon fin may be added to a circular tube. In another form a tube of teardrop-shaped cross-section (Figs. 4 and 7, not shown) may be employed. To increase heat transfer each condenser tube may be provided with internal fins (52, Figs. 6, 7, not shown).
