Definitions

  • the present invention relates to refrigeration systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to evaporators for centrifugal compressor refrigeration systems.
  • Centrifugal chillers which are the workhorses of the comfort cooling industry, have very few moving parts (Prior Art FIG. 1 ). Therefore, they usually offer high reliability and low maintenance requirements.
  • a centrifugal compressor of the centrifugal chiller acts very much like a centrifugal fan, compressing the vapor flowing through it by spinning it from the center of an impeller wheel radially outward, allowing centrifugal forces to compress the vapor.
  • Some machines use multiple impellers to compress the refrigerant in stages.
  • the compressor is in fluid communication with an evaporator, as depicted in prior art FIG. 2 .
  • the evaporator acts to change the state of a refrigerant from a liquid to a vapor by warming the refrigerant.
  • the refrigerant vapor exits the evaporator at a suction nozzle under the motive force of a suction applied thereto by the compressor. It is important for the operating life of the compressor that an liquid refrigerant passing out through the suction nozzle be absolutely minimized, such liquid having a deleterious effect on compressor components.
  • Liquid carry-over has the potential for damaging or reducing the life of centrifugal compressors. Further, liquid carry-over reduces the cooling capacity and efficiency of the refrigeration system.
  • the present invention substantially meets the aforementioned needs of the industry.
  • the present invention affords the following advantages as compared to prior art refrigeration systems:
  • the drop liquid may heated near the shell support plate by water under the baffle plate;
  • the shell head near the suction nozzle may not be needed.
  • the present invention is an evaporator for a refrigeration system, including a baffle plate extending over a portion of a tube bundle assembly, the baffle plate preventing liquid refrigerant carried over by suction nozzle above, the baffle plate assisting in directing a fluid flow from a tube first portion to a tube second portion.
  • the present invention is further a method of forming an evaporator.
  • FIG. 1 is a partially cut away depiction of a prior art centrifugal compressor refrigeration system
  • FIG. 2 is perspective view of a cut away prior art evaporator
  • FIG. 3 is a cut away perspective view of an evaporator of the present invention.
  • Evaporator 10 is intended to be employed in a refrigeration system such as depicted in Prior Art FIG. 1 .
  • Such refrigeration system can be configured to employ the present invention simply by replacing the evaporator depicted in FIG. 1 with the evaporator 10 of the present invention.
  • the evaporator 10 has two major subcomponents: shell assembly 12 and tube bundle assembly 14 .
  • the shell assembly 12 of the evaporator 10 includes a cylindrical shell 16 .
  • the shell assembly 12 is 9 to 16 feet in length.
  • the cylindrical shell 16 is sealingly capped at either end by a shell head 68 .
  • the shell support plate 18 of FIG. 3 is the leftmost shell support plate 18 of the evaporator 10 , the rightmost shell support plate 18 not be depicted.
  • Each of the shell support plates 18 is a solid rectangular plate for fluidly sealing the interior cavity 22 defined with the cylindrical shell 16 .
  • a plurality of bores 20 are defined in shell support plate 18 for bolting the shell support plate 18 to the respective end of the cylindrical shell 16 .
  • a refrigerant suction nozzle 24 is disposed on the upper surface of the cylindrical shell 16 proximate the leftmost shell support plate 18 .
  • the refrigerant inlet 78 is at the bottom of the shell 16 .
  • the second subcomponent of the evaporator 10 is the tube bundle assembly 14 .
  • the tube bundle assembly 14 includes lower portion tubes 26 and upper portion tubes 28 .
  • the tube ends 30 of the tubes 26 , 28 are expanded and sealed at tube sheet 32 .
  • the tube sheet 32 is spaced apart from the inner margin of the shell support plate 18 .
  • a plurality of spaced apart tube supports 34 extend the length of the shell assembly 12 to support the tube bundle assembly 14 .
  • a water pass vane 36 is disposed leftward of the tube sheet 32 .
  • the water pass vane 36 provides for the demarcation between the lower portion tubes 26 and the upper portion tubes 28 in an evaporator in which the liquid refrigerant flows in at the bottom and refrigerant vapor flows out at the top, as depicted in FIG. 1 . It is understood that the configuration of the present invention can be rotated 90 degrees to define a side to side type evaporator. The water pass vane is then positioned vertically so that the water passage is from side to side.
  • the water pass vane 36 is generally rectangular and has spaced apart parallel side margins 38 . Each of the two side margins 38 is sealingly coupled to the interior margin of the cylindrical shell 16 .
  • the distal margin 40 of the water pass vane 36 is fixedly coupled to the tube sheet 32 .
  • the proximal margin 42 of the water pass vane 36 extends leftward therefrom and is spaced apart from the interior margin of the shell support plate 18 .
  • the proximal margin 42 in cooperation with the interior margin of the shell support plate 18 in part define a water passageway 44 between the lower portion tubes 26 and the upper portion tubes 28 .
  • baffle plate 46 Two sides of the baffle plate are welded on the inside surface of the shell.
  • the bottom surface of the baffle plate 46 is welded on the top of the tube sheet 32 .
  • the front edge of the baffle plate is welded on the shell support plate 18 .
  • the end of tubes are expanded to seal in the tube sheet 32 . Water passage can be used side by side also.
  • a baffle plate 46 is disposed at the leftmost portion of the cylindrical shell 16 .
  • the baffle plate 46 overlies the uppermost layer of tubes of the upper portion tubes 28 .
  • the baffle plate 46 is generally rectangular in shape and has opposed, spaced apart side margins 48 that extend to and are sealingly coupled with the interior margin of the cylindrical shell 16 .
  • the distal end 50 of the baffle plate 46 extends rightward a portion of the length of the cylindrical shell 16 .
  • the distal end 50 is located between a 1 ⁇ 4 and a 1 ⁇ 3 of the length of the cylindrical shell 16 . Accordingly, in an evaporator that is 9 to 16 feet long, the length dimension of the baffle plate 46 is preferably 3 to 4 feet.
  • the proximal end 52 of the baffle plate 46 is sealingly coupled to the interior margin of the leftmost shell support plate 18 .
  • the interior cavity 22 of the shell assembly 12 is flooded with refrigerant.
  • Chilled water is introduced to the lower portion tubes 26 of the tube bundle assembly 14 proximate the rightmost shell support plate 18 .
  • the chilled water makes a first pass through the lower portion tubes 26 as indicated by the arrow 54 , cooling the water and evaporating the refrigerant.
  • the water passes around the proximal end 42 of the water pass vane 36 through the water passage 44 , as indicated by the arrow 58 .
  • the now somewhat warmed water enters the tube ends 30 of the upper portion tubes 28 and makes a second pass through the upper portion tubes 28 as indicated by the arrow 58 and is then extracted from the evaporator 10 .
  • the baffle plate 48 acts to keep the water below the baffle plate 48 in its transition from the lower portion tubes 26 to the upper portion tubes 28 . Refrigerant vapor passes leftward through the upper portion of the interior cavity 22 and is drawn out of the suction nozzle 24 .
