Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK HEAT EXCHANGER Application filed January 11, 1928. Serial No. 245,853.
My present invention relates to heat exchangers of the tubular type where heat is transferred between two fluids one flowing through the individual elements of a bank or banks'of tubular elements and the other flowing around the individualtubular elements.
The object of my present invention is to pro vide an improved construction of a heat exchanger of the tubular type and more specifically, an improved construction and arrangement of the bafile system for so directing and regulating the flow of the fluid externall of the tubular elements that the path of ow of said fluid is substantially normal to the tubular elements throughout its passage through the heat exchanger and the velocity of flow of said fluid is substantially in creased. I p
The various features of novelty which characterize my invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this specification. For a better understanding of the invention however and the advantages possessed by it reference should be had to the accompanying drawings and descri tive matter in which I- have illustrated an described a preferred embodiment of the invention.
Of the drawings: Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of a preferred form of my invention;
Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3--3 of Fig. 1; and i F Fig. 4.- is a plan section on the line 4-4 of the drawings I have illustrated a preferred embodiment of my invention in which a tubular heat exchanger A having a cylindrical shell A, a circular tube sheet B secured at one end to the shell A and a circular floating tube sheet 0 mounted at the opposite end thereof. Eachof the latesB andG is formed with a pluralityof tu e openings for tubular elements D, divided into up 1 and lower banks D and D respective y. A convex headerEis secured to the floating tube sheet G and a similar header F closes that end of the changer is provided with a circular header G5 divided into upper and lower chambers G and G "respectively, by a transverse diaphragm G A pipe connection I-I provides a fluid inlet opening to the chamber-Gr and a pipe connection H provides a fluid outlet from the chamber G.
With the construction described a fluid entering through the pipe H flows through the lower bank of tubes D through the reversing chamber formed by the tube sheet C and header E, then through the upper bank of tubes D and out through the chamber G and pipe H. It is immaterial in my invention whether or not the fluid flowing through the tubes D is the hot or cold fluid or whether the direction of flow is as described or the reverse. For the purpose of this description the flow is as described and the cooling fluid baffle K extends beyond the vertical center line but less than the inner diameter of the shell leaving a space between the edge of the baflle and the shell.
A series of circular bafiles M and N arranged-alternately are mounted in the shell A transversely to the horizontal baflie K. Each bafile M and N is connected to the bafiie K by a fluid tight joint. In the construction shown the joint is made by providing horizontal slots K M and N in the baflies K, M an'd -N, respectively, and fittin the battles M and N in the corresponding lots in the baflle K'with the slotted portions of the baflies M and N engaging the portions oithe battle K to the rear of and in alignment with the corresponding slots K Longitudinal tie baflles P are provided at spaced points .on the inner surface of the shell, A for holdingthe transverse bafiies M and Nv in position. The bafilesP are connected to,
i tube sheets B and 0. As shown in Fig. 2, the I nection between the transverse battles and the Each of the baflles M and N is provided with a set of circular openings for the tubular elements D. Each circular baffle M has its lower left or thirdquadrant substantially cut away to form an opening M as shown in Fig. 2. Each baflie N has its upper left or second quadrant cut away to form an opening N as shown in Fig. 3. The transverse baflies are thus formed with openings alternately on opposite sides of the bafiie plate K.
The compartment formed by the tube sheet B and first baflie M is connected at its upper left side, as seen in Fig. 2, to a fluid inlet pipe Q, and the compartment formed bythe last baflie N and the tube 'sheet C is connected at its lower left side to a fluid outlet pipe Q. In assembling the heat exchanger of my invention the tubular elements and the baffles are connected together as a unit and inserted into the shell A. This mode of assembly is advantageous in that the unit may be bodily removed for cleaning or repairs.
With the bafile construction described the heating fluid enters through the pipe Q,
. through the upper side of the first chamber,
thl01l%1 the passage between the edge of the baffle and the shell A, down through lower half of the chamber and out through the opening M into the next chamber. In that chamber the flow is the reverse of the flow in the first chamber, the fluid entering in the third quadrant and passing out through the second quadrant of the second chamber. As shown in Fig. 4 the heating fluid follows the above described path of flow through each pair of compartments, finally passin out through the outlet pipe Q. The ba es P restrict the flow to the portion of the chamber occupied by the tubes D. I
The flow therefore between each pair of transverse baflies is normal to the tubes D for substantially the whole circular path. With this arrangement of battles, the path of flow is substantially increased in length and decreasedincross-section for heat exchangers of given overall dimensions, with a resultant increase in fluid velocity and heat transfer 7 While in accordance with provisions of the statutes, I. have illustrated and described in the form of the apparatus. disclosed with-; out departing from the spirit of my invention as set forth in the appended claims and that in some cases-certain features of' myinvention may be used to advantage without a corresponding use of other features.
