Definitions
- the present invention relates to a heat exchanger that carries out heat exchange between a high temperature heat medium whose thermal energy changes and a low temperature working medium flowing through the interior of a heat transfer tube.
- Japanese Utility Model Registration Publication No. 2-38162 describes an arrangement in which the temperature of steam generated by a waste heat once-through boiler employing as a heat source exhaust gas of an engine rotating at a constant speed is compared with a target steam temperature, and the rate of water supplied to the waste heat once-through boiler is feedback controlled so that the temperature of the steam coincides with the target steam temperature, wherein the control precision is improved by compensating for variations in the load of the engine by adding to a feedback signal a feedforward signal calculated on the basis of the steam pressure at the outlet of the waste heat once-through boiler.
- FIG. 15 shows evaporator efficiency, which is determined by the exhaust gas temperature and the steam temperature, and when the exhaust gas temperature is low, the heat exchange efficiency for generating high temperature steam is low.
- Japanese Utility Model Registration Publication No. 2-38162 has as an object making the steam temperature coincide precisely with the target steam temperature, and does not have as an object reducing thermal mass loss occurring in the heat transfer tube of the waste heat once-through boiler.
- control is carried out to increase the target temperature for steam generated in the evaporator in response to an increase in the temperature of the exhaust gas when a vehicle is being accelerated, that is, when the vehicle is in a transition period from the engine being at low load to the engine being at high load, since in the above transition period there is a time lag of a few seconds to around ten seconds between the load of the engine becoming high and the temperature of the exhaust gas increasing because of the influence of the thermal mass of an exhaust passage and the thermal mass of the evaporator, there is a time lag of a few tens of seconds in the temperature of the steam generated when the temperature of the evaporator heat transfer tube increases reaching the target temperature.
- the length of the transition period for the change in output of the engine is often on the order of a few seconds; even if the target steam temperature is changed in response to a change in the exhaust gas temperature in order to obtain maximum efficiency of the evaporator under steady running conditions of the engine, a thermal mass loss occurs in the transition period, and there is the problem that the thermal energy of the exhaust gas cannot be recovered effectively.
- the present invention has been carried out under the above-mentioned circumstances, and it is an object thereof to maximize the efficiency of recovery of thermal energy of a heat medium by minimizing the thermal mass loss in a heat transfer tube of a heat exchanger in a transition period in which the thermal energy of the heat medium changes.

- the target working medium supply rate is calculated by correcting the future working medium reference supply rate predicted on the basis of the values detected by the heat medium measurement sensor and the working medium measurement sensor using the supply rate correction calculated on the basis of the heat quantity change per unit time of the heat transfer tube, it is possible to minimize the thermal mass loss occurring in the heat transfer tube even when the thermal energy of the heat medium changes transiently.

- the temperature distribution when the load is high is higher than the temperature distribution when the load is low, and the difference therebetween is large
- the temperature distribution when the load is high is lower than the temperature distribution when the load is low, and the difference therebetween is small.
- the temperature of the heat transfer tube 17 increases in going from the temperature distribution when the load is low to the temperature distribution during the transition period, whereas on the exhaust gas outlet side of point a the temperature of the heat transfer tube 17 decreases in going from the temperature distribution when the load is low to the temperature distribution during the transition period, and a positive thermal mass loss shown by the hatched area and a negative thermal mass loss shown by the reverse hatched area occur concurrently.
- the negative thermal mass loss referred to here means a phenomenon in which, when the temperature of the heat transfer tube 17 decreases, the thermal energy of the heat transfer tube 17 is utilized to increase the steam temperature.
- the water supply control system U includes reference supply rate prediction means M 1 , heat quantity change calculation means M 2 , supply rate correction calculation means M 3 , and target supply rate calculation means M 4 .
- the reference supply rate prediction means M 1 predicts a future reference supply rate Gsteam_set of working medium on the basis of values detected by heat medium measurement sensors S 1 and S 2 (the exhaust gas inlet measurement sensor S 1 and the exhaust gas outlet measurement sensor S 2 ) and working medium measurement sensors S 3 and S 4 (the water inlet measurement sensor S 3 and the steam outlet measurement sensor S 4 ).

- step ST 1 data at time n are measured by each of the sensors S 1 to S 4 (excluding the heat transfer tube measurement unit S 5 ), and in the subsequent step ST 2 enthalpies Hgas_in, Hsteam_in, Hgas_out, and Hsteam_out of the exhaust gas and the water (steam) are calculated in order to determine the heat quantity changes per unit time Qgas and Qsteam of the exhaust gas and the water (steam).
- the enthalpy Hgas_in of the exhaust gas at the inlet of the evaporator 12 is looked up in a map using the pressure Pgas_in and the temperature Tgas_in of the exhaust gas at the inlet of the evaporator 12
- the enthalpy Hsteam_in of the water at the inlet of the evaporator 12 is looked up in a map using the pressure Psteam_in and the temperature Tsteam_in of the water at the inlet of the evaporator 12
- the enthalpy Hgas_out of the exhaust gas at the outlet of the evaporator 12 is looked up in a map using the pressure Pgas_out and the temperature Tgas_out of the exhaust gas at the outlet of the evaporator 12
- the enthalpy Hsteam_out of the water at the outlet of the evaporator 12 is looked up in a map using the pressure Psteam_out and the temperature Tsteam_out of the water at the outlet of the evaporator 12 .
- step ST 3 a heat exchange efficiency ⁇ in a steady state is looked up in a map using the exhaust gas inlet temperature Tgas_in and the steam outlet temperature Tsteam_out, and a correction is carried out using this heat exchange efficiency ⁇ .
- the heat exchange efficiency ⁇ satisfies the following equation in the steady state.
- Mi denotes a mass of element i of the divided heat transfer tube 17
- Cpi denotes a specific heat of element i of the divided heat transfer tube 17
- Ti(n) denotes a temperature of element i at time n
- Ti(n ⁇ 1) denotes a temperature of element i at time n ⁇ 1
- dt is the time elapsed between time n and time n ⁇ 1.
- the symbol ⁇ denotes the summation of Mi ⁇ Cpi ⁇ Ti(n) ⁇ Ti(n ⁇ 1) ⁇ /dt for all elements i.
- an exhaust gas mass flow rate Ggas_n+1 at time n+1 is predicted on the basis of data at time n. That is, as shown in FIG. 7 , when the load of the engine E is increased stepwise, a delay in response of the change of the exhaust gas mass flow rate Ggas is measured in advance, and the exhaust gas mass flow rate Ggas_n+1 at time n+1 is predicted while taking into consideration this delay in response.
- Graphs of FIG. 8 to FIG. 10 show a Comparative Example in which, while maintaining the rotational speed of the engine E at a predetermined rotational speed, the load (intake negative pressure) is changed stepwise in a predetermined range, and the target steam temperature is set at a predetermined temperature.
- the exhaust gas heat exchange energy (energy given to the water (steam) by the exhaust gas) gradually increases, whereas the steam heat exchange energy (energy that the water (steam) receives from the exhaust gas) first greatly decreases, and then increases.
- an energy corresponding to the difference between the exhaust gas heat exchange energy and the steam heat exchange energy becomes a thermal mass loss energy consumed for an increase in temperature of the entire region of the heat transfer tube 17 (see FIG. 10 ), and it can be seen that the efficiency of the evaporator 12 is degraded.
- graphs of FIG. 11 to FIG. 13 show the Embodiment; in FIG. 11 when the load of the engine E increases and the temperature of the exhaust gas increases, the rate of water supplied increases by tracking the increase in temperature of the exhaust gas without decreasing and then gradually decreases, and the measured steam temperature gradually increases toward a predetermined temperature, which is a target steam temperature.
- the exhaust gas heat exchange energy (energy given to the water (steam) by the exhaust gas) and the steam heat exchange energy (energy that the water (steam) receives from the exhaust gas) increase in an almost identical pattern.
- the thermal mass loss energy corresponding to the difference between the exhaust gas heat exchange energy and the steam heat exchange energy is almost 0, and it can be seen that the efficiency of the evaporator 12 improves.
- the reason is that the temperature of the heat transfer tube 17 increases on the exhaust gas inlet side and decreases on the outlet side, and the thermal energy taken from the exhaust gas by the heat transfer tube 17 and the thermal energy given to the water (steam) by the heat transfer tube 17 are counterbalanced (see FIG. 13 ).
- water steam
- any working medium can be employed.
- the exhaust gas of the engine E is illustrated as the heat medium, but any heat medium can be employed.
- the heat exchanger is exemplified by the evaporator 12 , but the present invention is also applicable to a heat exchanger other than the evaporator 12 .
- the present invention can be suitably applied to a heat exchanger for a Rankine cycle system that converts thermal energy of engine exhaust gas into mechanical energy, the present invention can also be applied to a heat exchanger for any purpose.
