Description
Patented Dec. 5, 1933 PATENT OFFICE 1,937,so2 HEAT EXCHANGER Alvin H. Baer, Waynesboro, Pa., assignor to Frick Company, Waynesboro, Pa., a corporation of Pennsylvania Application October 12.
4 Claims.
This invention relates to heat exchangers and its object is to provide means for effecting a more rapid transfer of heat than with devices of this type heretofore known.
A further object is to provide means for circulating liquid refrigerant to bring it in more intimate contact with the fluid to be cooled to effect more rapid heat transfer.
Referring to the `accompanying drawing, which is made a part hereof and on which similar reference characters indicate similar parts,
Figure 1 is a vertical section through the shell on the line l-l of Figure 2,
Figure 2 a side elevation, and
Figure 3 a section on line 3-3 of Figure 2.
In the drawing numeral 10. indicates a shell preferably of steel of the usual type having end plates 11 and 12. End covers 13 and 14 are secured to the end plates as by bolts or rivets in the usual manner to provide header chambers at each end of the shell. Longitudinal tubes 15 are secured in the end plates and provide communication between the header chambers. The chamber fat head 14 is divided by a partition wall 16. Ports 18 and 17 are provided in the head 14 and these ports are connected through' suitable fluid lines with a source of fluid to be cooled. Inclined baflie plates 19 are placed in the shell and so arranged as to direct liquid refrigerant toward the center of the shell. Inlet ports 20 are arranged to deliver liquid refrigerant into the shell. These ports are so arranged as to direct liquid beneath the baflle plates 19. While the inlet nozzles 20 are shown at various positions as entering radially inwardly intoithe shell they may be arranged in other positions. For example, they might come through the top of the shell and extend down inside, with the nozzles positioned at suitable locations in the shell to direct the refrigerant in the direction desired. An outlet manifold 21 having openings 24 in its upper surface is connected to an outlet pipe 22 for drawing off the evaporated refrigerant.
In the operation the liquid refrigerant is delivered through pipes 23 and inlet nozzles 20 into the shell 10 beneath the inclined baffle plate 19. Such refrigerant Ias evaporates from the surface of the liquid within the shell is 1931. Serial No. 568,441
shell. This circulation will be greatly accelerated by the evaporation of a portion of the liquid to create in substance an air lift pump. The whole effect of this circulation will be to bring the liquid into more intimate contact with the pipes 15 whichcontain the fluid to be cooled. The baflie plates 19 vmay'be arranged at any suitable angle so as to bring about the best circulation of the liquid within the shell. By the use of this heat exchanger more rapid heat transfer is effected since the cold refrigerant is keptin constant circulation among the pipes containing the fluid to be cooled. Any number of baffle plates may be provided and likewise any number of refrigerant inlet ports 20 may be pro- 70 vided. Likewise the outlet pipe may be a simple pipe instead of the arrangement shown. IIlhe size of the shell and other operating conditions will determine the number of baflle plates and the number of inlet tubes necessary or desirable, the ultimate purpose being to secure the greatest amount of circulation obtainable in connection with efficient operation.
It will be obvious to 4those skilled in the art that various changes may be made in my device Without departing from the spirit of the invention and therefore I do not limit myself to what is shown in the drawing and described in the specificaton, but only as indicated by the appended claims.
Having thus fully described my said invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is: l
