Description

  The present invention relates to a heat exchanger for a gas compressor.

  As a technique related to a heat exchanger of a gas compressor such as an air compressor used as an air source, there is a technique described in Patent Document 1, for example. In the heat exchanger described in Patent Document 1, a bundle (cooling unit) is accommodated in a seal baffle (housing member), and a high temperature inlet side and a low temperature outlet side in the shell are partitioned by a seal baffle and a seal member. Thus, the high temperature air on the inlet side is sealed so as not to flow into the low temperature outlet side. In other words, a seal member is interposed between the seal baffle and the shell to form a seal line between the seal baffle and the seal member.

  In a gas compressor, pressure pulsation is generated in association with a volume change in a gas compression process. In the heat exchanger of Patent Document 1, when the seal baffle as the housing member expands due to pressure pulsation, a gap is formed between the seal baffle and the seal member in the longitudinal direction along the seal line, and gas is generated from the gap. May leak.

  Therefore, a technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a heat exchanger for a gas compressor that maintains sealing performance even if expansion of a housing member occurs due to pressure pulsation. .

  In order to solve the above technical problem, according to the present invention, the following heat exchanger for a gas compressor is provided.

  That is, a heat exchanger for a gas compressor includes a casing having a gas inlet and a gas outlet, a cooling unit that cools a gas, the cooling unit, and an upstream that connects the interior of the casing to the gas inlet. A housing member partitioned into a space and a downstream space connected to the gas outlet, the housing member having an upstream opening and a downstream opening on each of an upstream side and a downstream side of the housing member, and one side in a longitudinal direction of the housing member A housing member having an end and an other side end, and a support portion formed in the casing, wherein the housing member abuts on a supported surface of the housing member and supports the housing member in a longitudinal direction of the housing member A housing part formed between the support surface of the housing member and the supported surface of the housing member and the support surface of the support part; A seal line extending in a longitudinal direction of the member, and the housing member has an upstream restriction portion and a downstream restriction portion that restrict deformation of each of the upstream opening and the downstream opening, and the housing member Each of the one side end and the other side end is configured such that deformation is not restricted except for portions where deformation is restricted by the upstream restriction part and the downstream restriction part.

  According to the above configuration, the inside of the casing is partitioned into the upstream space and the downstream space by the housing member, and the housing member is supported by the support portion of the casing. A seal line is formed between the supported surface of the housing member and the support surface of the support portion, and the upstream restriction portion and the downstream restriction portion regulate the deformation of the upstream opening and the downstream opening, and One side end and the other side end of the housing member are so-called free ends, with the deformation being not restricted except for the portions where the deformation is restricted by the upstream restricting portion and the downstream restricting portion. Due to the pressure pulsation that occurs when the gas compressor is activated, even if the housing member expands, the housing member expands uniformly over its longitudinal direction. Since the seal line formed between the supported surface and the support surface is maintained to extend in the longitudinal direction of the housing member, the sealing performance of the seal line is maintained.

  In addition to the above features, the present invention can have the following features.

  The housing member is configured to be detachable from the casing in the longitudinal direction of the housing member. According to this structure, the maintainability of the housing member including the cooling unit can be improved.

According to the said structure, a downstream overhang | projection part is used for the mounting of a cooling part, and for the support by a support part.

  The supported surface of the housing member is a lower surface of an overhang portion that extends in a lateral direction from a plate body extending from the upstream side to the downstream side. According to the said structure, the structure of a housing member can be simplified and the manufacturing cost of a housing member can be reduced.

  The housing member includes a pair of seal plates, a plurality of upstream connection members that connect the upstream ends of the pair of seal plates at a plurality of positions along the longitudinal direction, and the downstream ends of the pair of seal plates. A plurality of downstream coupling members coupled at a plurality of positions along the longitudinal direction, and the upstream coupling member and the downstream coupling member function as the upstream regulating portion and the downstream regulating portion, respectively. According to this configuration, even if pressure pulsation occurs, each of the upstream opening and the downstream opening can be regulated so as not to be deformed, and the housing member can be uniformly expanded in the longitudinal direction. At the same time, the assembly work of the housing member is facilitated.

  The housing member includes a pair of seal plates, an upstream plate connecting each upstream end of the pair of seal plates, and a downstream plate connecting each downstream end of the pair of seal plates, and the upstream plate is an upstream frame portion. And the upstream opening, the downstream plate includes a downstream frame portion and the downstream opening, and the upstream frame portion and the downstream frame portion function as the upstream restriction portion and the downstream restriction portion, respectively. According to this configuration, even if pressure pulsation occurs, each of the upstream opening and the downstream opening can be regulated so as not to be deformed, and the housing member can be uniformly expanded in the longitudinal direction. At the same time, the rigidity of the housing member is improved.

  According to the present invention, the sealing performance can be maintained even if the housing member expands due to pressure pulsation.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating a state in which the first cooling unit 35 and the second cooling unit 65 are loaded into the first casing 21 and the second casing 51 together with the housing member 14, respectively. 4 is a partially enlarged perspective view of FIG. FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view for explaining how the housing member 14 including the first cooling part 35 is loaded into the first casing 21. The first cooling unit 35 and the housing member 14 extend in the longitudinal direction of the housing member 14 (hereinafter simply referred to as the longitudinal direction). The housing member 14 including the second cooling portion 65 is loaded into the second casing 51 through the first opening 57 at one end. The housing member 14 including the first cooling portion 35 is inserted through the first opening 27 at one end. Since it is the same as that of the structure loaded in the 1st casing 21, the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The first cooling unit 35 includes a plurality of cooling pipes 40 that exchange heat between a cooling medium (for example, water) that flows through the inside and a gas (for example, air) that flows through the outside. In the present embodiment, the plurality of cooling pipes 40 constitute a cooling water flow path through which cooling water flows and cools the air. The cooling water flow path has, for example, a meandering shape including a straight portion of the cooling pipe 40 and a folded portion (not shown) provided in the other end first cover 94A. The cooling pipes 40 in the straight portion are arranged apart from each other. According to the said structure, the gas flow path for gas to flow between the cooling pipes 40 is formed. As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, the first opening 27 at one end can attach and detach the pair of housing members 14 and 14 while the supported surfaces 42 </ b> S and 42 </ b> S slide relative to the pair of support surfaces 26 </ b> A and 26 </ b> A. It is formed into a shape. The housing member 14 including the first cooling part 35 is detachably accommodated in the first casing 21 through the first opening 27 at one end. According to the said structure, the maintainability of the housing member 14 containing the 1st cooling part 35 improves.

  The first cooling unit 35 illustrated in FIG. 5 includes a plurality of cooling pipes 40 and a plurality of fins 41 integrated with the plurality of cooling pipes 40. The plurality of fins 41 are thin plate-like bodies extending from the upstream side to the downstream side, and are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction. One end of each cooling tube 40 is inserted into each insertion hole of the first tube plate 36, and the other end of each cooling tube 40 is inserted into each insertion hole of the first closing plate 37.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the first cooling part 35 is accommodated in the housing member 14. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the housing member 14 includes a pair of seal plates 42 and 42 extending in the longitudinal direction, a plurality of upstream connection members 71, and a plurality of downstream connection members 75.

  Each of the seal plates 42 and 42 extends in the longitudinal direction, and includes upstream end portions 42A and 42A, upstream projecting portions 42B and 42B, central longitudinal portions 42C and 42C, downstream projecting portions 42D and 42D, and downstream end portions 42E and 42E. Is provided. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, each of the seal plates 42, 42 has a structure in which a plate body extending from the upstream side to the downstream side as viewed from the longitudinal orthogonal direction is bent in a plurality of stages. Each of the seal plates 42, 42 is made of, for example, stainless steel having a thickness of about 1 mm.

  The upstream end portion 42A is a portion located on the upstream side of the seal plate 42 and extending in the downstream direction. The upstream projecting portion 42B is a portion that extends in the lateral direction by bending outward in the horizontal lateral direction (hereinafter simply referred to as lateral direction) from the downstream end portion of the upstream end portion 42A. The central vertical portion 42C is a portion that is bent in the downstream direction from the outer end portion of the upstream overhang portion 42B and extends in the downstream direction. The downstream projecting portion 42D is a portion extending in the lateral direction by bending inward in the lateral direction from the downstream end of the central longitudinal portion 42C. The upper surface of the downstream projecting portion 42D is used as a placement surface on which the first cooling portion 35 is placed. The lower surface of the downstream projecting portion 42 </ b> D is used as a supported surface 42 </ b> S supported by the support portion 26. That is, the downstream overhanging portion 42 </ b> D is used for placing the first cooling portion 35 and for supporting the supporting portion 26. The downstream end portion 42E is a portion that is bent in the downstream direction from the inner end portion of the downstream projecting portion 42D and extends in the downstream direction. Here, “outward” means a direction away from the center of the housing member 14, and “inward” means a direction toward the center. Each seal plate 42, 42 is bent with a curvature radius of about 5 mm.

  The upstream end portions 42 </ b> A and 42 </ b> A of the pair of seal plates 42 and 42 are connected and fixed by a plurality of upstream connecting members 71. For example, in each upstream end 42A, 42A, a plurality of mounting holes are formed along the longitudinal direction, and screw holes formed at both ends of a plurality of upstream connecting members 71 (for example, tie rods) are arranged opposite each mounting hole. The upstream end portions 42A and 42A can be connected and fixed by tightening both ends of the upstream connection members 71 with bolts via the seal plates 42 and 42, respectively. Similarly, the downstream end portions 42E and 42E of the pair of seal plates 42 and 42 are also connected and fixed by a plurality of downstream connecting members 75 (for example, tie rods).

  A region defined by the upstream end of each upstream end 42A, 42A and the plurality of upstream connecting members 71 forms a plurality of upstream openings 73 through which gas is introduced into the housing member 14. A region defined by the downstream end of each of the downstream end portions 42E and 42E and the plurality of downstream connecting members 75 forms a plurality of downstream openings 77 for discharging the gas out of the housing member 14. The upstream connecting member 71 and the downstream connecting member 75 function to restrict deformation of the upstream opening 73 and the downstream opening 77 even when pressure pulsation occurs. Therefore, each of the upstream connecting member 71 and the downstream connecting member 75 functions as an upstream restricting portion and a downstream restricting portion. The configuration in which the pair of seal plates 42 and 42 are connected and fixed using the upstream connecting member 71 and the downstream connecting member 75 facilitates the assembly work of the housing member 14.

  The housing member 14 that houses the first cooling portion 35 is supported by a pair of support portions 26 and 26. In the lower part of the first casing 21, a pair of support portions 26, 26 extending inward in the lateral direction and extending in the longitudinal direction from the inner surface of each side wall of the first casing 21 are disposed. The upper surfaces of the support portions 26 and 26 are used as support surfaces 26A and 26A that extend linearly in the longitudinal direction, respectively. The lower surfaces of the downstream projecting portions 42D and 42D are used as supported surfaces 42S and 42S that extend linearly in the longitudinal direction, respectively. When the housing member 14 is supported by the support portions 26, 26, the supported surfaces 42S, 42S of the downstream projecting portions 42D, 42D of the housing member 14 are respectively supported by the support portions 26, 26 in the longitudinal direction. It abuts on the support surfaces 26A, 26A. Further, seal lines 30 and 30 extending in the longitudinal direction are formed between the supported surfaces 42S and 42S that are in contact with each other and the support surfaces 26A and 26A, respectively.

  Then, the one side ends 42J and 42J and the other side ends 42K and 42K of the housing member 14 are deformed except for the portions where the deformation associated with the pressure pulsation is restricted by the upstream connecting member 71 and the downstream connecting member 75, respectively. It is not regulated and is a free end. Therefore, the housing member 14 that houses the first cooling unit 35 is not connected and fixed except for the upstream ends 42I and 42I and the downstream ends 42L and 42L. That is, even if the housing member expands due to the pressure pulsation generated when the gas compressor is operated, the housing member can be uniformly expanded over the longitudinal direction thereof. In other words, in the housing member 14 that houses the first cooling unit 35, the deformation due to the expansion at the one side ends 42J, 42J and the other side ends 42K, 42K in the longitudinal direction is caused by the first tube plate 36 and the first It is not restricted by the closing plate 37. Therefore, when the housing member 14 expands due to pressure pulsation generated when the gas compressor is operated, the housing member expands in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction from one side end to the other side end. Can do. Thereby, since the seal lines 30 and 30 on the side of the supported surfaces 42S and 42S extending in the longitudinal direction are not affected by the expansion, the abutting state is maintained without being lifted from the support surfaces 26A and 26A. Can do.

  As described above, the seal lines 30 and 30 extend in the longitudinal direction of the housing member 14, and the one side end 42J and 42J and the other side ends 42K and 42K in the longitudinal direction are caused by pressure pulsation. Does not regulate expansion. That is, in order to allow such expansion, even if pressure pulsation occurs, the seal lines 30 and 30 are maintained to extend in the longitudinal direction of the housing member 14. Seal performance can be maintained.

  When the housing member 14 including the first cooling portion 35 is accommodated in the first casing 21, the internal space of the first casing 21 is divided into an upstream space 22 connected to the first gas inlet 28 by the housing member 14, and a gas outlet 32. And a downstream space 23 connected to In the space surrounded by the side wall 24 and the upstream end portion 42A, the upstream projecting portion 42B, and the central vertical portion 42C of the seal plate 42 and located upstream of the support portion 26, the side space 25 is formed. Is formed. The side space 25 is separated from the downstream space 23 in a sealed state by a seal line 30 formed between the supported surface 42S and the support surface 26A. The side space 25 is closed by a seal structure between the housing member 14 and the support portion 26. Therefore, the gas introduced into the upstream space 22 and entering the side space 25 is prevented from flowing into the downstream space 23 from the gap between the supported surface 42S and the support surface 26A.

  Next, the operation of the heat exchanger 10 having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. The arrows in FIGS. 1, 2 and 5 schematically show the gas flow.

  FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II of the casing 12 of the heat exchanger 10 shown in FIG. 1 and shows a cross section of the first casing 21 of the intercooler 20. Gas (for example, compressed air) is introduced into the first casing 21 from the discharge side of the low-stage screw compressor through the first gas inlet 28 of the intercooler 20. Most of the gas introduced into the first casing 21 flows through the upstream space 22. Some of the introduced gas tends to flow into the side space 25, but since the side space 25 is closed by the seal line 30, it merges with the gas flowing through the upstream space 22. The gas flowing through the upstream space 22 flows through the first cooling unit 35 and is cooled by contacting the outer surface of the cooling pipe 40 of the first cooling unit 35 and the fins 41. The gas cooled by the first cooling unit 35 moves to the downstream space 23 and is sent to the suction side of the high stage screw compressor through the first gas outlet 32.

  Since the configuration and operation of the aftercooler 50 are the same as those of the intercooler 20, detailed description thereof will be omitted. However, in the aftercooler 50, gas is supplied from the discharge side of the high stage screw compressor to the second gas inlet 58. be introduced. The introduced gas is cooled by flowing through the second cooling unit 65. The gas cooled by the second cooling unit 65 is supplied to a compressed gas supply destination (not shown) through the second gas outlet 62.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the second embodiment, components having the same functions as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  In the heat exchanger 10 according to the second embodiment, the seal plates 42 and 42 of the housing member 14 are plate-like bodies that extend in a planar shape as a whole without being bent. That is, the seal plates 42 and 42 have plate bodies 42F and 42F, outer flange portions 42G and 42G, and inner flange portions 42P and 42P, respectively. The plate body 42F is a plate-like portion extending from the upstream side to the downstream side. The outer flange portion 42G is a portion that is provided on the downstream side of the plate body 42F and extends outward from the outer surface of the plate body 42F. The inner flange portion 42P is a portion that is provided on the downstream side of the plate body 42F and extends inward from the inner surface of the plate body 42F. The lower surface of the outer flange portion 42G is used as a supported surface 42S supported by the support portion 26. The upper surface of the inner flange portion 42P is used as a mounting surface on which the first cooling unit 35 is mounted. The outer flange portion 42G and the inner flange portion 42P are fixed to the plate body 42F by welding, for example. Even if the inner flange portion 42P is omitted, the first cooling portion 35 can be supported by the downstream connecting member 75, and therefore the inner flange portion 42P can be omitted. According to the said structure, the opening area of the upstream opening 73 or the downstream opening 77 can be ensured as large as possible.

  The upstream portions of the plate bodies 42F and 42F are connected and fixed by a plurality of upstream connecting members 71 as in the first embodiment. Similarly, downstream portions of the plate bodies 42F and 42F are also connected and fixed by a plurality of downstream connecting members 75 (for example, tie rods).

  A region defined by the upstream end of each plate body 42F, 42F and the plurality of upstream connecting members 71 forms a plurality of upstream openings 73 through which gas is introduced into the housing member 14. A region defined by the downstream ends of the plate bodies 42F and 42F and the plurality of downstream connecting members 75 forms a plurality of downstream openings 77 for discharging the gas out of the housing member 14. The upstream connecting member 71 and the downstream connecting member 75 function to restrict deformation of the upstream opening 73 and the downstream opening 77 even when pressure pulsation occurs. Therefore, each of the upstream connecting member 71 and the downstream connecting member 75 functions as an upstream restricting portion and a downstream restricting portion.

  When the housing member 14 is supported by the support portions 26, 26, the supported surfaces 42S, 42S of the outer flange portions 42G, 42G of the housing member 14 are supported by the support portions 26, 26 over the longitudinal direction. It is in contact with the surfaces 26A, 26A. Further, seal lines 30 and 30 extending in the longitudinal direction are formed between the supported surfaces 42S and 42S that are in contact with each other and the support surfaces 26A and 26A, respectively.

  Then, each one side end (not shown in FIG. 7) and each other side end (not shown in FIG. 7) of the housing member 14 that houses the first cooling unit 35 are respectively connected to the upstream ends 42I and 42I side and each side. It is not fixedly connected except for the downstream ends 42L and 42L. That is, also in the housing member 14 shown in FIG. 7, each one side end and each other side end in the longitudinal direction are so-called free ends that do not restrict expansion caused by pressure pulsation. Accordingly, even when the housing member 14 expands due to pressure pulsation, the supported surfaces 42S, 42S side extending in the longitudinal direction are not affected by the expansion, so that each support surface The contact state can be maintained without being lifted from 26A and 26A. Also in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, even if pressure pulsation occurs, the seal lines 30 and 30 are maintained to extend in the longitudinal direction of the housing member 14. Thirty sealing performances can be maintained.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Note that in the third embodiment, components having the same functions as those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

  The third embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the seal plates 42 and 42 of the housing member 14 are connected and fixed by an upstream plate 81 and a downstream plate 86. That is, the upstream plate 81 and the downstream plate 86 are each made of a member that extends in a planar shape in the longitudinal direction and has rigidity such as metal. The upstream plate 81 includes an upstream frame portion 82 that forms a plurality of frame-shaped portions, and a plurality of upstream openings 83 that are formed by cutting out portions other than the upstream frame portion 82. Similarly, the downstream plate 86 has a downstream frame portion 87 constituting a plurality of frame-shaped portions and a plurality of downstream openings 88 formed by cutting out portions other than the downstream frame portion 87. Each of the seal plates 42 and 42 has substantially the same shape as that described in the first embodiment, and each of the seal plates 42 and 42 extends in a planar shape in the longitudinal direction, and upstream end portions 42A and 42A and upstream projecting portions 42B and 42B. And central longitudinal portions 42C, 42C, downstream projecting portions 42D, 42D, and downstream end portions 42E, 42E. For example, the upstream frame portion 82 and the downstream frame portion 87 are connected and fixed to the upstream end portions 42A and 42A and the downstream end portions 42E and 42E of the seal plates 42 and 42, respectively, by welding. That is, the upstream frame portion 82 that connects and fixes the upstream ends 42I and 42I constitutes an upstream restricting portion, and the downstream frame portion 87 that connects and fixes the downstream ends 42L and 42L is the downstream restricting portion. Is configured.

  The seal plates 42 and 42 and the upstream plate 81 can be connected and fixed by screwing. For example, each longitudinal upstream end portion of the upstream plate 81 may be bent in the downstream direction, and the upstream end portions 42A and 42A may be screwed at a plurality of positions along the longitudinal direction in the bent portion. Similarly, each longitudinal downstream end portion of the downstream plate 86 may be bent in the upstream direction, and the downstream end portions 42E and 42E may be screwed at a plurality of positions along the longitudinal direction in the bent portion.

  Gas is introduced into the housing member 14 through a plurality of upstream openings 83 formed in the upstream plate 81. Further, the gas is discharged out of the housing member 14 through a plurality of downstream openings 88 formed in the downstream plate 86. The upstream frame portion 82 and the downstream frame portion 87 function to restrict deformation of the upstream opening 83 and the downstream opening 88, respectively, even if pressure pulsation occurs. Therefore, the upstream frame portion 82 and the downstream frame portion 87 function as an upstream restriction portion and a downstream restriction portion, respectively. The configuration in which the pair of seal plates 42 and 42 are connected and fixed using the upstream frame portion 82 and the downstream frame portion 87 improves the rigidity of the housing member 14.

  When the housing member 14 is supported by the support portions 26 and 26 (shown in FIG. 5), the supported surfaces 42S and 42S of the downstream projecting portions 42D and 42D of the housing member 14 26 are in contact with the respective support surfaces 26A, 26A. Further, seal lines 30 and 30 extending in the longitudinal direction are formed between the supported surfaces 42S and 42S that are in contact with each other and the support surfaces 26A and 26A, respectively.

  The one end 42J, 42J and the other end 42K, 42K of the housing member 14 that houses the first cooling section 35 are excluded from the upstream end 42I, 42I side and the downstream end 42L, 42L side, respectively. Are not connected and fixed. That is, also in the housing member 14 shown in FIG. 8, the one side ends 42J, 42J and the other side ends 42K, 42K in the longitudinal direction are so-called free ends that do not restrict expansion caused by pressure pulsation. . Accordingly, even when the housing member 14 expands due to pressure pulsation, the supported surfaces 42S, 42S side extending in the longitudinal direction are not affected by the expansion, so that each support surface The contact state can be maintained without being lifted from 26A and 26A. Also in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, even if pressure pulsation occurs, the seal lines 30 and 30 are maintained to extend in the longitudinal direction of the housing member 14. Thirty sealing performances can be maintained.

  In addition, the connection structure by the upstream plate 81 and the downstream plate 86 demonstrated in 3rd Embodiment is applicable also to a pair of seal plates 42 and 42 extended planarly as a whole demonstrated in 2nd Embodiment. In the third embodiment, a plurality of rectangular upstream openings 83 and downstream openings 88 arranged in the longitudinal direction are formed by the plurality of downstream frame portions 87 and the downstream frame portions 87 in the upstream plate 81 and the downstream plate 86. It is not restricted to such an aspect. For example, the upstream opening 83 and the downstream opening 88 may be formed in a truss shape in which a plurality of triangular openings are arranged in the longitudinal direction, or may be formed in a mesh shape in which a plurality of rectangles are arranged in the longitudinal direction and the width direction.
