A superheating unit (20, 44) of the second fluid, associated with the first container body (2, 50), is provided.
Description
- The invention concerns an improved heat exchanger with tube bundle. In particular, the heat exchanger that is the subject of the invention is of the so-called “flooded” type and is used as an evaporator in refrigerating and/or air conditioning systems.
- As is known, a heat exchanger of the “flooded” type is constituted by a container body developing in a mainly longitudinal direction, in which a tube bundle is arranged.
- The latter is supported at each end by a tube plate that in turn is fixed to the container body.
- Each tube plate is provided with a cover that is applied thereto in such a way as to define two opposing heads, in each one of which a manifold chamber communicating with the tube bundle is defined.
- The container body thus contains a heat exchange chamber delimited by the tube plates and the outer surface of the tube bundle, said chamber communicating with the outside via an inlet mouth and an outlet mouth, both created in the container body.
- The heat exchange between a fluid that circulates between the manifold chambers of the heads through the tube bundle and a colder fluid that flows into the heat exchange chamber through the inlet mouth and flows out, heated, through the outlet mouth takes place in the heat exchanger.
- Heat exchangers of the type described above are used as evaporators in refrigerating and/or air conditioning systems in order to evaporate the refrigerant fluid that comes from the condenser, through heat exchange with another liquid, usually water.
- More precisely, the refrigerant fluid coming from the condenser is introduced in the heat exchange chamber through the inlet mouth, absorbs heat via heat exchange with the hot water that flows along the tube bundle and flows out of the outlet mouth in the form of saturated vapour.
- The temperature of the water decreases during the heat exchange and when it flows out of the tube bundle the water can be used for refrigerating purposes.
- Before being conveyed to the suction port of the compressor, the refrigerant fluid in the form of saturated vapour must be properly superheated in order to eliminate any liquid that is still present therein and that would damage the compressor.
- In the known systems the superheating of the refrigerant fluid in the form of saturated vapour is carried out by means of superheating units with tube bundle or analogous units in which the saturated vapour to be superheated is circulated preferably countercurrent with respect to a warmer fluid, constituted for example by the same refrigerant fluid in the liquid state flowing out of the condenser.
- The known systems of the type described above pose, however, some recognized drawbacks.
- A first drawback lies in that the evaporator and the superheater are separated and to connect them with each other it is necessary to use pipes and fittings, which means a marked increase in the cost of the system.
- Another drawback is represented by the fact that the presence of pipes and fittings for the connection between evaporator and superheater also involves increased overall dimensions and higher maintenance costs for routine inspections and checks.
- A further drawback is represented by the inevitable thermodynamic losses along the pipes, which entail a reduced enthalpy difference to be exploited and therefore a lower coefficient of performance that is commonly indicated by the acronym COP.
- Another, and not the least, drawback is represented by the complexity of the system when several heat exchangers must be connected in series.
- The present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks listed above.
- More particularly, it is a first object of the invention to construct a tube-bundle heat exchanger of the “flooded” type that is more compact and more economic to carry out than equivalent heat exchangers constructed according to the known art.
- It is a further object of the invention to produce a heat exchanger that has less thermodynamic losses than the equivalent “flooded” heat exchangers of known type and therefore makes it possible to obtain higher coefficients of performance COP than those obtainable with equivalent heat exchangers of known type.
- It is another, yet not the least object of the invention to produce a heat exchanger that, compared to the heat exchangers of known type, allows several heat exchangers to be connected in series more easily.
- The objects described above have been achieved through the construction of a heat exchanger whose characteristics are in compliance with the main claim, to which the reader should refer for the sake of brevity.
- Other details of the heat exchanger are described in the corresponding dependent claims.
- According to the preferred embodiment of the invention described herein, the heat exchanger of the invention comprises:
-
- a first container body containing a first tube bundle;
- a superheating unit associated with the first container body and comprising
- a second container body that contains a second tube bundle.
- In particular, the tube plates that support each end of the tube bundles of the heat exchanger and of the superheater are carried out in a single flange.
- Advantageously, the heat exchanger that is the subject of the invention is simpler and more compact than equivalent heat exchangers constructed according to the known art.
- Still advantageously, the increased compactness of the heat exchanger makes it simpler to construct than equivalent heat exchangers of known type.
- Finally, to advantage, the absence of connection pipes between the heat exchanger and the superheater simplifies maintenance and also makes operation safer.
- The objects and advantages described above, as well as other possible objects and advantages, will be highlighted in greater detail in the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, which is provided as an example without limitation, with reference to the attached drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 shows a side view of the heat exchanger constructed according to the invention; -
FIG. 2 shows the cross section of the heat exchanger shown inFIG. 1 , carried out along plane II-II; -
FIG. 3 shows a side view of a construction variant of the heat exchanger that is the subject of the invention; -
FIG. 4 shows more heat exchangers carried out according to the variant shown inFIG. 3 and connected in series. - The heat exchanger that is the subject of the invention is represented in a longitudinal view in
FIG. 1 and in cross section along plane II-II inFIG. 2 , and is indicated as a whole by 1. - It can be observed that it contains a
first container body 2, developing mainly in a longitudinal direction, inside which there is a first tube bundle indicated as a whole by 3, constituted by a plurality of tubes parallel to one another that substantially run along the entire length of thefirst container body 2. - Two
tube plates first container body 2, support thefirst tube bundle 3 at the level of its ends. - Two covers 6, 7, each applied to the outside of a
corresponding tube plate head 8, 9 in which amanifold chamber 8 a, 9 a that communicates with thetube bundle 3 is defined between the plate and the to cover. - In particular it is possible to identify an
inlet head 8 with corresponding inlet manifold chamber 8 a and an outlet head 9 with correspondingoutlet manifold chamber 9 a that are in communication with each other through thefirst tube bundle 3. - An
inlet way 10 created in the cover 6 and anoutlet way 11 created in the cover 7 allow the flow of a first fluid through thefirst tube bundle 3 and themanifold chambers 8 a, 9 a, according to the direction and sense indicated by the arrow A. - Inside the
first container body 2 and included between the outer surface of thefirst tube bundle 3 and thetube plates evaporation chamber 2 a that is fed through aninlet mouth 12 obtained in thefirst container body 2 with a second fluid that flows in according to the direction and sense indicated by the arrow B. - According to the invention, the
heat exchanger 1 comprises asuperheating unit 20 of said second fluid, associated with saidfirst container body 2. - Also the
superheating unit 20 is of the type with tube bundle and comprises asecond container body 22 that develops in a substantially longitudinal direction, inside which there is asecond tube bundle 23 consisting of a plurality of tubes parallel to one another that substantially run along the entire length of thesecond container body 22. - Two
tube plates second container body 22, support thesecond tube bundle 23 in such a way as to define, inside thesecond container body 22, asuperheating chamber 22 a delimited by the outer surface of thesecond tube bundle 23 and by thetube plates - Two covers 26, 27, each applied to the outside of a
corresponding tube plate inlet head 28 with correspondinginlet manifold chamber 28 a and anoutlet head 29 with correspondingoutlet manifold chamber 29 a that are in communication with each other through thesecond tube bundle 23. - An
inlet way 30 created in thecover 26 and anoutlet way 31 created in thecover 27 allow the flow through thesecond tube bundle 23 according to the direction and sense indicated by the arrow C. - It is also possible to observe the presence of a plurality of
intake ways 32 created in thesecond container body 22 for the passage of the second fluid from theevaporation chamber 2 a defined in thefirst container body 2 into thesuperheating chamber 22 a defined in thesecond container body 22. - Finally, in the
second container body 22 there is anoutlet mouth 33 for the superheated fluid, said mouth being in communication with thesuperheating chamber 22 a. - In particular, according to the invention, both the
tube plates tube bundle single flange - In practice, the
heat exchanger 1 of the invention is used, for example, as evaporator-superheater in refrigerating and/or air conditioning systems comprising, among other things, at least one compressor and at least one condenser, none of which is represented herein. - The first heat exchange fluid, constituted by hot water, flows into the
inlet head 8 through theinlet way 10 created in the cover 6 of thefirst container body 2 and then from the inlet manifold chamber 8 a it runs through thefirst tube bundle 3 according to the direction indicated by the arrow A until reaching the outlet head 9 and then theoutlet chamber 9 a and flow out through theoutlet way 11. - At the same time a second fluid, constituted for example by the hot refrigerant fluid flowing out of the condenser of the refrigerating or air conditioning system, flows through the
inlet way 30 present in thecover 26 of thesuperheating unit 20 and runs through thesecond tube bundle 23 according to the direction and sense indicated by the arrow B, until reaching theoutlet way 31. - The
outlet way 31 communicates with theinlet mouth 12 present in thesecond container body 2 and thus the second fluid that flows out of theoutlet way 31 enters theevaporation chamber 2 a. - The pressure inside the
evaporation chamber 2 a and the temperature of the hot water that circulates in thefirst tube bundle 3 are such as to create the conditions necessary to allow the second fluid passing through theinlet mouth 12 to evaporate due to the heat exchange with the hot water that flows in thefirst tube bundle 3. - During the heat exchange, the hot water that flows in the
first tube bundle 3 cools down and flows out through theoutlet way 11 at a temperature that is lower than it was at the level of theinlet way 10. - Said refrigerated water can thus be reused, for example inside a cabinet or an exchange coil for refrigeration.
- The second fluid that is now present in the
evaporation chamber 2 a in the form of saturated vapour flows through theintake ways 32 and into the superheating,chamber 22 a, where it comes into contact with thesecond tube bundle 23 in which, as already said, there is the refrigerant fluid coming from the outlet of the condenser, whose temperature is higher than it was when it entered theevaporation chamber 2 a passing through theinlet mouth 12. - During the heat exchange the second hotter fluid that circulates in the
second tube bundle 23 cools down and flows out through theoutlet way 31 to flow back into theevaporation chamber 2 a passing through theinlet mouth 12. - At the same time, the second cooler fluid present in the
superheating chamber 22 a superheats and thus when it flows out of theoutlet mouth 33, it can be conveyed to the suction port of the compressor. - Substantially, therefore, during the heat exchange process the temperature of the first fluid, which in this specific case is water, at the level of the
inlet way 10 of thefirst tube bundle 3 is higher than it is at the level of theoutlet way 11 of the samefirst tube bundle 3, since in theevaporation chamber 2 a it transfers heat to the refrigerant fluid in the form of saturated vapour. - Therefore, using the heat exchanger of the invention as an evaporator, it is possible to superheat the refrigerant fluid that flows in through the
inlet mouth 12 thanks to the heat exchange with the hot water that flows in through theinlet way 10 and flows out, cool, through theoutlet way 11, and with the hot refrigerant fluid coming from the condenser that flows in through theinlet way 30 and flows out, cool, through theoutlet way 31. - On the basis of the above, it is clear that the heat exchanger that is the subject of the invention achieves all the set objects.
- In particular, since it is not necessary to proceed to the laying and connection of pipes and fittings for the connection of the superheating unit, the operation is more economic compared to the known art.
- Furthermore, the absence of external connections between superheating unit and evaporating unit also involves reduced maintenance costs and increased coefficient of performance COP.
- By means of tests carried out on prototypes, it has been found that said coefficient of performance COP, which usually ranges between 3 and 3.5 in the systems of known type, in the embodiment of the invention can even exceed 5.
- Finally, construction costs result to be lower than those of equivalent heat exchangers of known type.
- It is important to observe that the particular embodiment in which the
tube plates single flange - Therefore, the same heat exchanger can be provided with superheating unit or not.
- A construction variant of the heat exchanger of the invention is shown in
FIG. 3 , where it is indicated as a whole by 40 and differs from the variant described above owing to the different arrangement of the inlet and outlet ways, respectively 41 and 42, of thesecond tube bundle 43 that makes up the superheatingunit 44. - It can be observed, in fact, that the inlet and
outlet ways second container body 47 that contains thesecond tube bundle 43 through tubular bends, respectivelyinlet 48 andoutlet 49 bends, which project from the periphery of the first container body 50. - This embodiment is particularly useful to connect the heat exchangers in series.
- By way of example,
FIG. 4 shows twoheat exchangers 40 that are connected in series by flanging them at the level of twoadjacent tube plates covers first tube bundle 57. - Obviously, this makes it possible to carry out a rapid connection with no need to interpose coupling sleeves, since the tubular bends 48, 49 of the inlet and outlet heads 45, 46 of the
second tube bundle 43 project peripherically from the first container body 50. - On the basis of the above, it is clear that the heat exchanger that is the subject of the invention, in both the embodiments described, achieves all the set objects.
- In particular, upon construction changes may be made that are not described herein or shown in the drawings.
- Said construction variants must all be considered protected by the present patent, provided that they fall within the scope of the claims expressed below.
- Where technical features mentioned in any claim are followed by reference signs, those reference sings have been included for the sole purpose of increasing the intelligibility of the claims and accordingly such reference signs do not have any limiting effect on the interpretation of each element identified by way of example by such reference signs.
