HEAT EXCHANGER FLOW CONTROL Filed Aug. 21, 1958 FIG. 2
INVENTOR. G.J. CONSTANTIKES VJ y? A TTORNEVS nits;
Ware
Filed Aug. 21, 1958, Ser- No. 756,336 3 Claims. (Cl. 16532) This invention relates to heat exchange systems wherein material flow is maintained above that at which tube fouling becomes a problem.
When the velocity of a fluid flowing through a heat exchanger is too low, fouling of the heat exchange surfaces is a problem. This is primarily due to an increase in the film temperature which causes a deposition of scale on these heat transfer surfaces. This further decreases the heat transfer and greatly reduces the efliciency of the heat exchanger. Flow should be maintained above about 3 feet per second to prevent excessive fouling of the heat exchange surfaces.
The following are objects of my invention.
An object of my invention is to provide a heat exchange system wherein fouling of heat exchange surfaces is substantially decreased. A further object of my invention is to provide a heat exchange control system wherein fluid flow is maintained above 3 feet per second. A further object of my invention is to provide an automatic control system which senses the rate of flow and automatically adjusts the system to maintain the desired rate of flow.
Other objects and advantages of my invention will be apparent to one skilled in the art upon reading this disclosure, which includes a drawing comprising FIGURE 1, a schematic diagram of a heat exchange system wherein parallel flow is used when fluid flow is above a certain amount and series flow is used at lower total fluid flow rates;
FIGURE 2, a modification of the invention wherein a portion of the. fluid is returned to the heat exchanger when necessary to maintain the desired fluid flow rate; and
FIGURE 3, a cross section view of a further modification of my invention wherein a portion of the heat exchanger is rendered inoperative at low flow rates so as to maintain the desired rate of flow of fluid material in the remaining portion of the heat exchanger.
The basic feature of my invention is to provide a system by which flow in the heat exchange system can be maintained above 3 feet per second. Various systems are presented for achieving this result. Broadly, the invention resides in a heat exchange system comprising at least one heat exchanger containing heat exchange surfaces comprising a plurality of tubes in a shell, means to measure rate of flow of material through at least one of said tubes and said shell, and means responsive to said last-mentioned means to maintain said rate of flow of material in contact with said heat exchange surfaces above a predetermined minimum.
The invention can best be understood by reference to the drawing.
FIGURE 1 illustrates my invention wherein a plurality of heat exchangers are arranged for parallel flow in normal operation but wherein provision is made for series flow if the fluid material flow rate falls below the desired rate of 3 feet per second. My invention is applicable to adaption to control of the cooling Water, the material being cooled or both. In this figure, I have shown control of the flow of cooling water. For ease in explanation, I have shown two heat exchangers 11 and 12. The cooling tates Patent water is supplied by conduit 13, this conduit splitting into 7 3,081,823 Patented Mar. 19, 1963 communication with conduit 21 and conduit 22. Conduit 23 extends from heat exchanger 12 to conduit 24 by which the heat exchange liquid is removed from the heat exchange system. The material being cooled is supplied to conduit 26, this conduit communicating with conduit 27 extending to heat exchanger 11 and conduit 28 extending to heat exchanger 12. These heat exchangers are, respectively, provided with removal conduits 29 and 31, these being connected to removal conduit 32.
FIGURE 2 illustrates a modification of the invention wherein a recycle line is provided to maintain the desired flow in a heat exchange system comprising one or more heat exchangers. More specifically this figure shows heat exchanger 41 provided with inlets 42 and outlet 43. The other side of the heat exchanger has inlet conduit 44 and outlet conduit 46. The feed supply conduit 47 is connected to pump 48 which pumps into conduit 44. Conduit 49, provided with valve 51, extends from the outlet conduit 46 back to the inlet conduit 47. Flow controller 52 measures the flow in conduit 46, this flow controller being operatively connected to valve 51.
In the operation of the system of FIGURE 2, there is no flow through conduit 49 in normal operation. If the amount of fluid material supplied falls below that which provides the flow of 3 feet per second in heat exchanger 41, this causes flow controller 52 to open valve 51 and a portion of the liquid is recycled to the heat exchanger. Once again, there is some lowered efliciency because the recycled material has previously served as the heat exchange material and is not available for further heat exchange.
The invention is also applicable to a single heat exchanger as shown in FIGURE 3. In this: figure the heat exchanger 61 is mounted at a small angle, a, above the horizontal. The heat exchanger is provided with inlet conduits 62 and 66 and outlet conduits 64 and 63. Within the heat exchanger are a series of valves 67 and 68. While only three valves are shown in the drawing, any desired number can be, of course, used. Flow controller 69 is operatively connected to the valves within the heat exchanger and serves to close these valves consecutively as the flow in conduit 64 is reduced. This maintains the flow in the remaining conduits at or above the desired 3 feet per second. By having the heat exchanger positioned at a small angle, such as 1 to 10, the tubes so closed drain and fouling is prevented.
Various control systems can be provided to close the valves within the heat exchanger successively. One simple method is to provide a source of air under pressure and to adjust the various valves so that they are closed as this pressure increases. Between the valves in the heat exchanger and the source of air pressure there is provided a valve operated by flow controller 69 and between this valve and valves 67 and 68, there is a bleed conduit or orifice. As the flow in conduit 64 decreases, this last mentioned valve opens and the air pressure is supplied to valve 67 and/ or valve 68 to close the same.
This invention can be successfully used to regulate flow in the heat exchange system over a considerable range of fluid flow. For instance, removal of supply from a small number of Water pumps would cause a small decrease in cooling water and the system could be used to permit continued operation Without shutting down operation.
However, if there is a complete breakdown of the cooling tower or cooling Water supply, other measures uld, of course, be necessary.
The invention is illustrated by the following examples which are presented to provide a complete understanding of the invention.
Example I This example illustrates specific operation when using the system of FIGURE 1. The heat exchangers 11 and 12 [are designed so that 50 gallons per minute of water passing therethrough gives the desired rate of flow of 3 feet per second. In operation, 100 gallons per minute of water are supplied at 90 -F., this water being supplied at a rate of 50 gallons per minute to each of the heat exchangers. To these heat exchangers, there is supplied a hot hydrocarbon stream at 240 F. By the heat exchange, the hydrocarbon stream -is cooled in each of the heat exchangers to 105 F. and the water is heated to 110 F.
When the cooling Water supply drops to 90 gallons per minute, it will be seen that the desired rate of flow is no longer possible. When this happens, flow controller 33 closes valve 17 and adjusts valve 19 so that the heat exchangers are connected in series. In heat exchanger 11, the hydrocarbon stream is cooled to 98 F. While the water is heated to 103 F., all 90 gallons of water passing through heat exchanger 11 each minute. This water then passes to heat exchanger 12 Where it is heated to 114 F. The hydrocarbon stream passing through this second heat exchanger is cooled to 118 F. and the hydrocarbon streams, when mixed, have a temperature of 108 F.
Example II In the operation or" the system of FIGURE 2, the heat exchanger is again designed so that 100 gallons per minute will supply the desired rate of 110W therein. This water, supplied at 90 F will cool the hydrocarbon stream from 240 F. to 105 F. When the cooling Water flow drops to 90 gallons per minute, flow controller 52. opens valve 1 s-ufiiciently to provide gallons per minute return flow to conduit 47. This water is heated to 113 F. and recycled through the heat exchanger and, because of this recycle, the hydrocarbon stream is only cooled to 109 F. With this recycle, the effiuent from the heat exchange system rises to the stated' 113 F. instead of the cooler 110 F. when 100 gallons per minute of Water are available.
Example 111 In the system of FIGURE 3, the normal operation gives the same result as Example 11, that is, the 100 gallons per minute of 90 F. Water is heated to 110 F. while cooling the hydrocarbon to 105 F. When the flow drops to 90 gallons per minute, a portion of the tubes are closed so that all of the heat exchange takes place at the remaining 4 heat exchange surfaces. The water is heated to 118 F. and the hydrocarbon cooled to 112 F.
Certain modifications of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art and the illustrative details disclosed are not to be construed as imposing unnecessary limitations on the invention.
