As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the conventional hot-water bath vaporizer has a square shell 54 having a square structure and each heat transfer tube 52 having a multi-pass having a 180 ° return bend. Since a large number of these are arranged, it is necessary to make the hot water bath 51 a large bath size. Since the square shell 54 has a square structure, it is weak in strength and the reinforcing member 60
Need more. From the above, the size of the hot water bath vaporizer increases, and the installation area and product weight on a small-scale base also increase. If the hot water bath 51 has a large bath size, the supply amount of the hot water 70 increases, and the full water weight is large, and accordingly, the basic weight is also large. Since the hot water bus 51 is installed at the base with the reinforcing member 60 installed, the heat insulating material 61 is installed.
In the above construction, since the bottom of the square shell 54 cannot be formed after the installation on site, the construction in the production factory was necessary.

As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a heat transfer tube bundle for exchanging heat with hot water to evaporate a liquefied gas in a shell body forming a hot water bath, In a hot water bath type vaporizer in which this heat transfer tube bundle is formed by arranging a large number of multi-pass heat transfer tubes having a plurality of 180 ° return bends at ends, the shell main body is formed into a horizontal cylindrical shape, and a shaft of the cylinder is formed. When viewed from the direction, the return head is obliquely arranged so that the heat transfer tubes of the heat transfer tube bundle can be effectively arranged in a cylindrical cross section. According to this configuration, by making the shell body a horizontal cylindrical type, a reinforcing member such as a square shell is not required, and the weight of the product can be reduced. The heat transfer tubes of the heat transfer tube bundle can be effectively arranged within the cylindrical cross section of the shell body by arranging the return bend so as to include the slant. In addition, at the installation site, the installation is performed only by supporting the circumference of the shell main body, and the installation can be performed on the circumference of the shell main body even after the installation of the heat insulating material.

[0008] Further, the heat transfer tube bundle is formed by arranging the rows of multi-pass heat transfer tubes vertically by return bending.
A pair of rectifying plates are provided on both side surfaces of the horizontal cylinder. By providing a pair of straightening plates on both side surfaces of the horizontal cylinder, it is possible to eliminate a space in which hot water bypasses between the heat transfer tube bundle and the inner periphery of the shell main body. Furthermore, it is preferable that at least one of the pair of straightening plates also serves as the hot water weir plate. Thereby, the flow distribution of the hot water with respect to the heat transfer tubes of the heat transfer tube bundle can be improved.

The heat transfer tube bundle 3 exchanges heat with hot water 25 to make LN
G is evaporated, as clearly shown in FIG.
The heat transfer tubes 11 are formed by arranging a number of rows.
1 is arranged above and below each of the headers 6 and 7. Each heat transfer tube 11 is bent with a 180 ° return bend 12, extends horizontally in the shell body 2, and is passed many times. In addition, the start and end of each heat transfer tube 11 are
It is connected in each header 6,7. As clearly shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when viewed from the axial direction of the inner periphery of the shell body 2, each heat transfer tube 11 arranges a plurality of return bends 12 in parallel or obliquely to the horizontal direction. Thereby, it is arranged in a zigzag shape that spreads toward the inner periphery of the shell main body 2. The return bends 12 of the heat transfer tubes 11 are formed by selecting and combining the above-described parallel and oblique arrangements so that a gap is provided between each row of the heat transfer tubes 11 so as to spread over the inner periphery of the shell main body 2. In the heat transfer tube bundle 3, the return bends 12 of the heat transfer tubes 11 are arranged in parallel or obliquely, so that each heat transfer tube 11 can be effectively arranged in the cylindrical cross section of the shell main body 2. Specifically, as clearly shown in FIG. 2, the heat transfer tubes 11A and 11B on both sides of the heat transfer tube bundle 3 and the return bends 12A and 1 closest to the respective headers 6 and 7 side.
2B is arranged in parallel with each header 6, 7 or the horizontal direction. The other return bends 12 between the return bends 12A and 12B are arranged obliquely with respect to the horizontal direction as described above. In the other heat transfer tubes 11 between the heat transfer tubes 11A and 11B, the return bends 12 are arranged in parallel or obliquely to the horizontal direction as described above.
Are arranged in a zigzag so as to leave a gap between the rows.
With this, the heat transfer tube bundle 3 is crushed from the side orthogonal to the horizontal direction, and each heat transfer tube 1 is elongated in the horizontal direction.
1 can be effectively arranged in the cylindrical cross section of the shell body 2. The horizontal direction is a direction in which each of the headers 6 and 7 extends.

The pair of rectifying plates 15 and 16 are connected to the shell body 2.
It is provided on both sides of the horizontal cylinder inside. As is clearly shown in FIG. 2, since each of the flow straightening plates 15 and 16 is arranged close to both sides of the heat transfer tube bundle 3, the hot water 25 flows between the heat transfer tube bundle 3 and the inner periphery of the shell main body 2. Can eliminate the space for bypassing. The current plate 16 is inclined on the outlet header 7 side, and is also used as a dam plate for damping the supplied hot water 25. The supplied hot water 25 is supplied to the current plate 16.
It overflows more, accumulates in the downcomer 18, and is sent out from the hot water outlet 13 to the next step of the boiler system.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the shell body is formed in a horizontal cylindrical shape, a reinforcing member such as a square shell is not required, the product weight can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced. In addition, the heat transfer tubes of the heat transfer tube bundle can be effectively arranged in the cylindrical cross section of the shell main body by arranging the return bend so as to include the slant, and the vaporizer including the shell main body can be downsized. As a result, the installation area of the hot water bath type vaporizer can be reduced, the full water weight can be reduced, and the basic weight can be reduced. Furthermore, it is installed only by supporting the circumference of the shell main body, and the work of the heat insulating material can be performed on the shell main body even after the installation, so that the on-site workability and maintainability are improved.
