No. 222,265 Claims priority, application Sweden, Sept. 11, 1961,
3 Claims. (or. res-e This invention relates to a rotary regenerative heat exchanger, particularly for gas turbine power plants, comprising a housing having an inlet and an outlet for a heating and a .heated elastic fluid, and a heat exchange member mounted for rotation in said housing and divided into a plurality of sections.
In gas turbine power plants for automotive purposes it is highly important to minimize the dimensions of the components of the plant. The heat exchanger is usually the largest one of these components.
In order to keep the dimensions of a heat exchanger as small as possible it is obviously desirable to utilize a heat exchange medium having a high heat capacity per unit volume. However, in addition to this, it as also necessary to utilize this medium to its maximum capa bilities.
In accordance with this invention, the sections of the heat exchange member are in the form of substantially wedge-shaped chambers having apertures for the supply and discharge of the fluids, said chambers being filled with a heat-absorbing material and arranged circularly around the axis of rotation with the apertures orientated in the direction of said axis, the annular zone of the part of the heat exchange member confronting the apertures extending radially over 50 to 90% of the radial extent of said sections. Due to the comparatively great radial extent of the part of the heat exchange member confronting the apertures there is obtained a very uniform distribution of the fluid over the end surface of the heat absorbing material even if this end surface be located at a relatively short distance within the plane of the apertures.
The invention is described herei'nbelow with reference to an embodiment illustrated in the annexed drawing. FIG. 1 is an axial sectional view of a regenerative heat exchangeraccording to the invention and FIG. 2 1s a partial sectional end view of this heat exchanger.
The heat exchanger illustrated in the drawing is intended for a gas turbine power plant in which the residual heat of the exhaust gases from the turbine is to be recovered and used for preheating the combustion air. The heat exchanger comprises a housing 1 and a cover la having a distributor chamber 2 for the air and a collecting chamber 3 for the exhaust gas, said chambers being separated from each other by means of a partition 4.
The cover In carries a central inlet duct 5 on which the heat exchange member is mounted for rotation by means of ball bearings 6.
The heat exchange member comprises an annular case having an outer wall 7 and an inner wall 8. The case also has end walls 9 and it which are flat at their outsides and have two sets of circular apertures 11 and t2, the apertures 11 being of larger diameter and located radially outwards of the apertures 12.
Inserted between the end walls 9 and iii are sheet metal receptacles defining chambers 13 for a heat absorbing material 14. As will be seen from FIG. 2, the chambers are substanially wedge-shaped and provided with openings corresponding to the apertures 11 and 12. The end walls of the chambers 13 are conically pressed outwards around the openings and carry cylindrical collars 15 which "ice are guided in the openings in the end walls of the case 7 and provided with sealing piston rings 16. Due to this arrangement the chambers 13 have a certain freedom of motion relative to the case 7, whereby to avoid detrimental thermal stresses.
The air arriving from the compressor of the turbine power plant passes via a space 17 in the housing 1 of the heat exchanger and through the inlet duct 5 to the distributor chamber 2 and hence passes through the heat exchange member from the left to the right, as viewed in FIG. 1. The exhaust gas from the turbine enters a distributor chamber 18 in the housing 1 of the heat exchanger and passes through the heat exchange member from the right to the left in FIG. 1. The gas leaves the collecting chamber 3 through a diagrammatically indicated outlet 19.
In order to prevent air from flowing over to the gas section of the heat exchanger, sealing members 20 and 21 are provided on either side of the heat exchange member. The seal-ing members have arc-shaped openings the edges of which are denoted at 22 and 23, respectively, in FIG. 2. The sealing members 26* and 21 are carried by bellows 24, FIG. 1, to which air under pressure is supplied so that the sealing members are forced against the flat end walls 9' and It The thrust can be chosen such as to relieve the ball bearings 6 from axial forces.
Mounted in recesses in the sealing members 21 are support rollers 25 which initially may be located entirely inside the surface of the sealing element but upon a certain wear of the sealing element come into contact with flat end walls 9 and lit. The support rollers take the main thrust such that the sealing surfaces only just come into contact with each other. Consequently, the sealing surfaces will be subject to moderate wear. The air supplied to the bellows 24 leaks past the rollers and cools the rollers as well as the sealing surfaces.
The sealing members and bellows are secured to plates 26 which are bolted to the housing 1 and the cover 1a, respectively. The regenerator material 14 consists advantageously of a corrugated foil-shaped material of the ceramic type. These foils are arranged in the chamber 13 such that parallel narrow ducts formed by the corrugations extend through the heat exchange member, as will be seen from FIG. 1. The ceramic material is light and has a very large surface with resulting high capacity in spite of the fact that the thermal conductivity of the material is low. 'The last-named property is advantageous from the point of view of minimizing the transport of heat from the hot end to the cold end of the material. It is true that this material is very brittle, but since it is divided in a plurality of small sections provided in individual chambers, the material will not be subjected to considerable mechanical stresses. In case of damage individual sections can be exchanged. It may happen that a heat exchanger takes fire. In the heat exchanger described the fire is not likely to spread over the entire heat exchange member, and since the ceramic material is highly heat-resistant, it is not likely to be damaged.
Although not shown in the drawing, the converging lateral surfaces of the chamber 13 are corrugated to increase the stiffness thereof. The corrugations are displaced relative each other such that the corrugations of one element project into the corrugations of an adjacent element in the assembly.
Said corrugations of the walls of the chamber do not extend throughout the entire height of the walls. At the ends of the walls there are provided fiat wall portions. Between these flat portions and the heat absorbing material there are inserted sealing rings in conformity with the wedge-shape of the chamber, said sealing rings preventing the fiuids from passing between the walls of the chamber and the heat absorbing filling material. The
. resilient engagement with the sealing material; 1:
g, seating rings may be V-shaped in cross section so as to be resilient, one limb of the V bearing upon the inside of thewall of the chamber and the other one bearingupon; the filling material. The two contacting edgesmay be. provided with outwardlybent flaps which are received in the filling material and inthe recesses in the .Wall of the chamber, respectively, such as to localize thefilling. material in its position-in the chamber." These sealing rings which may be replaced by separatelstrips serve three purposes. They act as sealing members, they retain the filling material elastically to prevent damage by' a thermal expansion of the chamber, and they lock the filling material'axially of the chamber.
