Definitions

  • This invention relates to rotary regenerative air preheaters for boiler plant and industrial furnaces, and more particularly to air preheaters of the kind in which an open-ended cylindrical drum houses a multiplicity of spaced heating-surface elements in the form of undulated metal plates, and is rotatable slowly to move the elements into, successively a stream of hot flue gases and a stream of combustion air, said streams flowing axially through the drum and between the elements in the drum.
  • FIG. 1 is a fragmentary end view (extracted from GB992413) of packed undulated heating-surface elements and FIG. 2 is a fragmentary perspective view of the pack of FIG. 1 .
  • typical heating surface elements for an air preheater of the aforesaid kind consist of undulated metal plates 1 , the undulations 2 extending at an angle ( ⁇ ) of typically 30° to the axis of the drum and each alternate undulated plate 1 having axially extending notches 3 and 4 formed in its opposite faces to maintain the spacing of the plates.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a variation of the form of elements shown in FIG. 2 . Close inspection of the view will indicate that the axially extending notches are closer together than those shown on FIG. 2 , thereby reducing the number of undulations that are between two adjacent axial notches. Note that this figure has also been marked with both the axial flow direction at the inlet to the pack and the small angle ( ⁇ 1 ) to the to the flow direction that can develop when flow passes through such packs. This slight ‘skew flow’ is caused by the angled direction of the undulations in the sheets—particularly those in the undulated only sheet. The valleys in these undulations run underneath the axial notches in the opposing notched sheet and provide a slightly open flow path through which a proportion of the flow can dissipate.
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of another variation of the form of elements shown in FIG. 3 . Close inspection of the view will indicate that the direction of the undulations in the lower sheet without the axial notches has been reversed, thereby ensuring that the undulations in adjacent element sheets go in different directions.
  • the elements shown in FIG. 4 are termed as being “crossed”, while those shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 are termed as being “uncrossed” elements.
  • FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of such designs of elements that illustrate an optimised version of this type of profile.
  • FIG. 4 has also been marked with both the axial flow direction at the inlet to the pack and the slight skew angle ( ⁇ 2 ) to the flow direction that can still develop when flow passes through such a pack—despite the ‘crossed’ undulations. Again, this slight skew flow is caused by the angled direction of the undulations in the sheets—particularly those in the undulated only sheet.
  • This figure has also been marked with the undulation angle ( ⁇ ), which is typically in the range 15°-35° to the flow direction and is most commonly at 30° to the flow direction. Note further that the skew flow angle is generally very much smaller than the undulation angle ( ⁇ 2 ⁇ and indeed, for the element profile shown. ⁇ 2 is typically only around 20% of ⁇ (i.e. around 6° to the flow direction).
  • FIG. 5 is a fragmentary end view of another common form of element profile and FIG. 6 is a fragmentary perspective view of the pack of FIG. 5 .
  • This form of element is commonly referred to as being a corrugated undulated (or CU type) profile.
  • one sheet in each element pair is a simple undulated sheet similar to those shown in FIGS. 1 to 4
  • the second sheet has a much deeper series of corrugations running axially along the length of the element in the flow direction. Note that, as with the DU-family of elements, this range-of CU-type elements also suffers from a tendency to develop a slight skew flow as flow progresses through the element pack.
  • FIG. 7 extracted from U.S. Pat. No. 6,019,160 illustrates the main features of another family of heat transfer elements that are commonly referred to as “double notched” or DN-type elements. These elements are named such because both heat transfer elements in every pair contains both axial notches and angled undulations. While this element arrangement does not eliminate the lateral dissipation of flow under the notches, in this case, the arrangement of double notches, combined with the use of a “crossed undulation” format tends to allow the flow to dissipate in either of two directions when flowing through the pack. Thereby, it has been claimed that this element profile produces less skew flow effect and lower temperature stratification at the pack outlet.
  • FIG. 16 depicts a pack of heating surface elements according to U.S. Pat. No. 2,596,642 in which a plurality of ridges are positioned opposite the apexes in a herringbone structure heating surface element.
  • this aids the generation of unwanted vortices and furthermore is difficult to manufacture due to the accurate positioning of the ridges needed.
  • a heating surface element having first and second adjacent regions, the regions extending along side each other in a first direction such that the boundary between said first and second regions is in the first direction, each region having a plurality of undulations arranged laterally side by side, each undulation having a longitudinal extent, the longitudinal extent of undulations in said first region being arranged between 0° and +90° to said first direction and the longitudinal extend of undulations in said second region being arranged between 0° and ⁇ 90° to said first direction.
  • the skew flow therefore does not all flow in one direction and the net skew flow will be reduced.
  • the first direction is generally the primary flow and direction of the undulations arranged such that the effect of the undulations in the first and second regions is equal and opposite.
  • the two regions preferably border each other directly to ensure that the skew flow is over the greatest possible area. If the two regions border one another the maximum of the peaks of the undulations in the first region preferably substantially meet the maximum of the peaks of the undulations in the second region.
  • the invention described above comprises simply a first and second region. However, it will be appreciated that there may be a plurality of first regions and/or a plurality of second regions, with each first region alternating with each second region. This prevents the skew flow from developing to be too strong. If the first and second regions directly border one another the skew air flow will be directed towards a boundary region before being deflected back towards the opposite boundary region. The air therefore follows a zig zag pattern along the heating surface element thereby increasing the time taken to pass over the heating surface element and improving the heat exchange properties.
  • the angle of the longitudinal undulations in the first and second region with respect to the first direction are preferably equal and opposite. The angles are preferably between 10° to 40° (and ⁇ 10° to ⁇ 40°) and more preferably 25° to 35° and ( ⁇ 25° to ⁇ 35°).
  • a pack, such as a stack, of heating surface elements may comprise a heating surface element according to the invention.
  • the pack of heating surface elements may additionally comprise a notched heating surface extending in the first direction.
  • the notch can be in the form of a single, larger undulation or simply a protrusion from the main body of the heating surface element which operates to keep the heating surface elements apart.
  • the notched heating surface element is preferably arranged such that each of said regions is directly opposite no more than one notch. This avoids the notches disturbing the air flow too much.
  • Rotary air heaters comprising such an undulating heating surface element minimize the skew air flow.
  • a stack of heating surface elements with a primary direction comprising a first heating surface element having a herringbone structure, said herringbone structure having a plurality of regions, said plurality of regions being arranged such that the boundary of regions is along said primary direction, said plurality of regions comprising a first region having a plurality of undulations arranged laterally side by side, the longitudinal extent of said undulations in said first region being greater than 0° and more than 90° to said primary direction, said plurality of regions further comprising a second region, adjacent to said first region, said second region having a plurality of undulations arranged laterally side by side, the longitudinal extent of said undulations in said second region being less than 0° and more than ⁇ 90° to said primary direction, said stack further comprising a second heating surface element, said second heating surface element comprising a notch extending along said primary direction, said notch being arranged such that it is not directly opposite the boundary between said first and second region.
  • Arranging the notch such that it is not directly opposite the boundary between the first and second regions allows the gas to flow along the herringbone structure and reduces the effect of vortices.
  • first regions each with a plurality of undulations arranged laterally side by side, the longitudinal extent of the undulations being between +10° and +80° to the primary direction and a plurality of second region, each having a plurality of undulations arranged laterally side by side, the longitudinal extent of the undulations being between ⁇ 10° and ⁇ 80° to the primary direction.
  • second regions is adjacent to at least one first region and preferably the first and second regions alternate to create an overall herringbone structure.
  • notches extending along the primary direction, at least one of the notches being arranged such that it is not directly opposite a boundary between a first and second region in the heating surface element directly opposing it. Indeed, preferably more than one of the notches is not directly opposite a boundary between the first and second region in a directly opposing heating surface element.
  • the second heating surface element may be manufactured such that the notches are arranged at an equal spacing having a regular periodicity, and the herringbone structure also has a regular periodicity.
  • the period, or distance between the longitudinal notches is slightly greater than the period or distance between the boundaries between the first and second regions.
  • a stack or a pack of heating surface elements according to the invention preferably comprises a plurality of first and second heating surface elements arranged alternately. Such that a first heating surface element is directly opposite to second heating surface element and a second heating surface element is directly opposite to first heating surface element.
  • the first and second regions of the first heating surface element directly border each other, preferably such that the maximum of each peak of undulations in the first region substantially meets the maximum of a peak of undulations in the second region.
  • the angle of undulations is preferably between +15° and 35° in the first regions and ⁇ 15° to ⁇ 35° to the primary direction in the second region.
  • the second heating surface element may additionally comprise undulations arranged laterally side by side between the notches.
  • the longitudinal extent of the undulations being either between +10° and +80° to the primary direction or between ⁇ 10° to ⁇ 80° to the primary direction. This also helps to direct the gas such that efficient heat transfer can be achieved.

  • FIGS. 11 to 14 the subject of this invention is illustrated in FIGS. 11 to 14 .
  • This invention is more closely related to the “double-undulated” and “corrugated-undulated” element profiles shown in FIGS. 1-6 , than the more complicated double notch profiles such as those shown in FIGS. 7 , 9 and 10 .
  • the invention provides a method of dramatically reducing the flow dissipation and skew flow characteristics of these profiles by the simple expedient of modifying the geometry of only one sheet in the element pair—the undulated sheet.
  • FIG. 11 is a fragmentary view of the modified undulated sheet as proposed in this invention
  • FIG. 12 is a fragmentary view of this sheet combined with a notched-undulated plate used in standard double-undulated elements.
  • the undulated sheet comprises a first region of undulation in a first direction and a second region of undulations in a second direction with the peak of the undulations in the first region meeting the peak of the undulations in the second region at a boundary.
  • the notches in the second plate are not directly opposite the boundary between the first and second region of the first sheet.
  • FIG. 13 shows a larger view of the arrangement of the two sheets shown in FIG.
  • FIGS. 14 and 15 The effect of arranging the notches such that they are not directly opposite the boundary between the different directions of undulation can be seen in FIGS. 14 and 15 .
  • the gas flows along the herringbone structure and when the gas flow reaches the apex of the herringbone structure it meets gas flowing in the opposite direction and is therefore directed back across the herringbone structure as shown in particular in FIG. 14 .
  • the gas flow passes underneath the notches such that the notches do not present significant interference to the flow pattern and the gas and gas flow is not compartmentalised by the notches. This results in an even flow at the outlet.
  • the notches were arranged to be opposite the apexes of the herringbone structure the combined effect of the notches and the apex of the herringbone structure would aid the generation of vortices between adjacent portions of undulations with opposing directions.
  • This invention is not limited to use of the undulated sheet shown in FIG. 11 with the notched undulated plate shown in FIG. 12 but can be used in conjunction with other corrugated forms of sheets such as those shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 .
  • at least one, and preferably more of the notches should not be directly opposite the boundary between the different directions of undulations.
  • FIG. 13 shows a typical wider view of a typical arrangement of these zig-zag undulations across the larger area of the full element sheet. Note that the zig-zag undulations, 5 , in this sheet are arranged in a transverse orientation across the sheet. Moreover, the angle (A) of these undulations is typically in the range 15°-35° to the direction of flow.
  • FIGS. 14 and 15 shows the simplified, 2-dimensional internal flow patterns that will occur within the element pack. This figure clearly shows the purpose of the transverse zig-zags in the undulated sheet. Note that, on entry to the element pack the incoming flue gas or air will tend to be deflected by the points of the V's in the undulations in one or the other direction across the plate, depending on the local direction of the undulations. The result is that there will not be a single consistent direction in which skew flow is allowed to develop as it passes through the element.
