Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a plate heat exchanger including a number of heat exchanger plates, which are arranged beside each other and connected to each other by means of a braze connection, wherein the heat exchanger plates substantially are manufactured in stainless steel containing chromium, wherein the plate heat exchanger includes a number of port channels extending through at least some of the heat exchanger plates, and wherein one or more of the port channels are surrounded by a connection surface for connection of the port channel to a pipe member.
  • the invention also refers to a method for manufacturing a plate heat exchanger including a number of heat exchanger plates, which substantially are manufactured in stainless steel containing chromium, and including a number port channels extending through at least some of the heat exchanger plates, wherein each port channel is surrounded by a connection surface for connection of the port channel to a pipe member.
  • the heat exchanger plates in plate heat exchangers are frequently manufactured in stainless steel for resisting attacks from various media transported through the heat exchanger. These media may frequently be aggressive against metallic materials.
  • the heat exchanger plates are connected to each other by brazing during a braze process with a braze material based on e.g. copper, nickel, iron or silver.
  • the braze process is normally performed in a closed space at vacuum-like pressure conditions or a gas atmosphere, and at a relatively high temperature, for instance about 1100° C. with copper as braze material and about 1200° C. with nickel as braze material.
  • the object of this invention is to remedy the problems mentioned above. More precisely, the object is to provide a plate heat exchanger offering improved possibilities to attach connection conduits by means of brazing.
  • connection surface includes a material that permits brazing of said pipe member to the connection surface in a more easy manner than to stainless steel.
  • pipe members such as external conduits, may in an easy manner be connected to the respective port channel through a braze process that may be performed during normal surrounding conditions. It is thus possible to perform these connections at an arbitrary location, for instance where the plate heat exchanger is to be used.
  • said material is more reduction susceptible than chromium dioxide, i e the oxide formed on the material may be reduced in a more easy manner than chromium dioxide, and thus strong and reliable braze joint is achieved by easy means.
  • Suitable materials are based on or include one of the materials copper and nickel.
  • said braze connection of the heat exchanger plates is achieved through a braze process.
  • the braze process may be performed in vacuum or in a gas atmosphere consisting substantially of an inert gas or a reducing gas.
  • said material may be bound to the stainless steel through diffusion, wherein said diffusion is achieved during said braze process. Thanks to such a diffusion of atoms from the material into the steel, and from the steel into the material, a strong metallic bond is achieved.
  • One of said heat exchanger plates forms an outer heat exchanger plate which has a respective outer surface surrounding a respective port channel.
  • said material may be applied to the outer surface for forming said connection surface.
  • the connection surface is thus formed directly on the outer heat exchanger plate which is designed to permit brazing of a connection pipe.
  • the plate heat exchanger includes a connection member at each port channel, wherein the connection member forms said connection surface.
  • the connection member is attached to the outer surface area.
  • the connection member may have a primary surface onto which said material is applied for forming said connection surface. Also in this case, said material may be applied on the primary surface and bound to the connection member by diffusion achieved during said braze process.
  • the primary surface has a rough surface finish, which is accomplished by abrasive blasting or any similar roughening process and which facilitates wetting of the primary surface with said material.
  • said material may then have been applied onto the primary surface by means of and during the braze process, wherein the material due to the roughened surface will flow out and be distributed over the primary surface.
  • the connection member may substantially be manufactured in stainless steel containing chromium.
  • the connection member is manufactured in an alloy substantially containing copper and nickel. The connection surface will then be formed by this alloy which on the surface oxidises to nickel oxide and copper oxide, both of which are relatively easily reducible. It is suggested that said alloy may contain 55 to 95 percent by weight copper and 5 to 45 percent by weight nickel, In particular 70 to 80 percent copper and 20 to 30 percent nickel.
  • connection member is designed as a pipe nipple, wherein the substantially cylindrical inner or outer surface of the pipe nipple forms the connection surface.
  • connection member may be designed as a washer.
  • the object is also achieved by the method initially defined, which includes the steps of: applying a material, which forms the connection surface and which permits brazing of said pipe member to the connection surface in a more easy manner than to stainless steel, arranging the heat exchanger plates beside each other, and joining the heat exchanger plates to each other by means of a braze connection.

  • connection surfaces 5 are thus located on the first outer heat exchanger plate 1 ′ which has an outer surface area surrounding each port channel 4 .
  • the connection surfaces 5 thus extend substantially in parallel to the main extension plane p of the heat exchanger plates 1 , 1 ′, 1 ′′ and have been formed by a material applied to the outer surface area.
  • This material permits brazing of the pipe members 6 to the respective connection surface in a more easy manner than stainless steel and is more reduction susceptible than chromium dioxide.
  • this material may be based on or include one of the materials copper, nickel, iron or silver. Possibly the material may also include a suitable fluxing agent.
  • the outer surface areas may thus be coated by a thin layer of for instance nickel.
  • the layer may have a thickness which amounts to about 20 to 50 ⁇ m.
  • the layer may be applied by different methods, for instance by melting or chemical or electrolytic plating. This application of the material may advantageously be made prior to the brazing of the plate package 2 , and thus before the plate package 2 is subjected to the above-mentioned vacuum/gas atmosphere and the above-mentioned braze temperature.
  • the nickel material will during this braze process be bound to the stainless steel of the outer surface areas of the first heat exchanger plate 1 ′ in such a way that a very strong bond is achieved through diffusion.
  • the layer of nickel material also may be applied after the plate package has been brazed according to the above description of the braze process. Also in this case, nickel or any other material may be applied through melting or chemical or electrolytic plating.
