  • Organic working fluids tend to be characterized by maximum temperatures beyond which they will begin to rapidly deteriorate.
  • Some working fluids which are otherwise suitable for use in Rankine cycle systems, when overheated, will not only deteriorate, but will also produce substances which attack certain components of the vapor engine system.
  • overheating of the working fluid may, in addition to sharply reducing the performance levels of the system, produce permanent damage to the system components.
  • This invention pertains to a vapor generator for Rankine cycle or vapor engines in which working fluid to be vaporized is circulated through an elongated heat exchange tube.
  • Working fluid in the tube is subject to overheating in at least two ways. First, a relatively large portion of the heat exchange tubing in the vapor generator may become substantially uniformly overheated. Second, overheating may occur along a relatively short segmental portion of the heat exchange tube.
  • sensing apparatus To monitor the temperature of the heat exchange tube, there is provided sensing apparatus which extends therealong lengthwise.
  • the sensing apparatus includes sealed sensing tube means in good thermal communication with the heat exchange tube and containing sensing liquid adapted to vaporize substantially at the maximum temperature to which the working fluid can be heated without deterioration.
  • Fluid within the sensing tube expands and contracts according to the average temperature change within the heat exchange tube and thus produces a first signal functionally related to such average temperature change.
  • This signal may be used to influence the heat source for the vapor generator to, for example, maintain the system below a preset temperature. Since the sensing fluid within the sensing tube means will vaporize at the maximum temperature which the working fluid can withstand, an abrupt relatively large volumetric expansion of the sensing fluid will be experienced when the maximum temperature is reached in any segmental portion of the heat exchange tube. This abrupt volumetric change of the sensing fluid produces a second signal which indicates a hot spot along some portion of the heat exchange tube. This is usually indicative of some abnormality in the operation of the system. Accordingly, the second signal is appropriately used to override other signals and, for example, cut off the vapor generator heat source.

  • a housing 16 for the heat exchange means 12 forms opposed headers.
  • FIG. 2 a group of headers designated 18, 20, 22 and 24.
  • the tubes 32 have associated therewith a plurality of generally parallel thermally conductive fins 34 situated perpendicularly of the tubes.
  • Spaced from the heat exchange tubes 30 is burner means 36, the intervening space between the burner means and the heat exchange tubes 30 constituting a combustion chamber 37.
  • the control means 14 including a pair of heat sensing tube means 39 and 41 which include, respectively, relatively small sensing tubes 38 and 40 extending along the heat exchange tubes 30 and to the housing means 50 for fluid communication with the bellows 42 and 44.
  • the sensing tube means 39 and 41 are filled with sensing fluids 56 and 64. Simplicity of operation will, in most circumstances, suggest that sensing fluids 56 and 64 be identically the same, though this identity is not essential.
  • the sensing tubes 38 and 40 are mall relative to the heat exchange tubes with which they are associated and may be attached to the associated heat exchange tubes in any convenient manner which produces good thermal conductivity.
  • This conductivity may be accomplished by brazing the sensing tubes 38 and 40 to the heat exchange tubes 30 and/or 32, with the sensing tubes being either inside or outside of the heat exchange tubes. While the sensing tubes 38 and 40 are shown as extending along all the heat exchange tubes 30, it should be understood that they may extend along only a portion of those heat exchange tubes or they may be configured to extend along any or all of the relatively small heat exchange tubes 32.
  • a supporting arm 45 upon which is mounted a microswitch 46 having an actuating member 48.
  • the bellows 42 rests upon the housing means 50.
  • a spring confining member 52 which is bifuricated to extend past the supporting arm 44.
  • a spring means 54 which applies a predetermined pressure to the sensing fluid 56 in the bellows 42 and the sensing tube 38.
  • a switch actuating arm 58 Projecting from the bellows 44 is a switch actuating arm 58 which is engageable with the actuator 48 of the microswitch 46.
  • a second spring confining member 60 extends past the arm 5 8.
  • a spring means 62 which applies a predetermined pressure to the sensing fluid 64 within the bellows 44 and the sensing tube 40.
  • the pressure applied to the sensing fluid 64 in the sensing means 41 is such that the vapor pressure of the sensing fluid 64 will equal the externally applied sensing fluid pressure substantially at the maximum permissable temperature for the working fluid 33 in the heat exchange tubes.
  • the sensing fluid 64 will vaporize at the maximum permissable working fluid temperature, where the vapor pressure of the sensing fluid equals the externally applied pressure in the sensing fluid.
  • the spring means 54 applies to the sensing fluid 56 in the sensing means 39 sufficient pressure to cause the vapor pressure of the sensing fluid 56 to equal the pressure in the fluid only at a temperature above the maximum permissable temperature for the working fluid 33 and, preferably, only at a temperature above the maximum system temperature which can be anticipated. Consequently, the sensing fluid 56 will vaporize only at a temperature above the maximum permissable temperature for the working fluid 33 and, preferably, will not vaporize at all.
  • the sensing tube means 39 serves as a thermal expansion monitor for the sensing tube means 41 so that sensitivity of the sensing tube means 41 to the maximum permissable working fluid temperature is not lost. Without the sensing tube means 41, the sensitivity of the sensing tube means 39 to the maximum permissable working fluid temperature would decrease as a function of the length of the sensing tube 40. This occurs because, with relatively long sensing tubes, the thermal expansion and contraction of the sensing fluid attending an overall temperature change within the system will be of such a magnitude that it will become very difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish between sensing fluid volume changes occurring because of such thermal expansion and volume change occurring because of vaporization of sensing fluid at a relatively small segmental length of the sensing tube.
  • sensing fluids having a critical temperature above the anticipated maximum system temperature are usable as sensing fluids, the fluid properties being selected as appropriate for each particular system.
  • suitable sensing fluids are Dowtherm A manufactured by Dow Chemical Company of Midland, Mich; Freon E-3, Freon E-4 and Freon E-5 manufactured of by E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Inc. of Wilmington, Del., and pyridine.
  • the boiler accepts the working fluid 33 through an inlet 66.
  • the working fluid 33 circulates successively through the heat exchange tubes 30 and then through the heat exchange tubes 32 from whence it passes from the boiler through an outlet, not shown.
  • the burner means 36 sustains combustion of a fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber 37. Products of combustion pass between the heat exchange tubes 30 and 32 and out through an exhaust passage, not shown, and heats the working fluid in the heat exchange tubes.
  • the temperature of the working fluid must not be permitted to exceed the temperature above which the particular working fluid will begin to deteriorate. Accordingly, the control means 14 provides a signal which may be used to control operations of the burner means 36. One example of such control will be subsequently described in connection with FIG. 7.
  • the hot products of combustion from the burner means 36 passing through and around the heat exchange tubes 30 heat both the heat exchange tubes and the sensing tubes 38 and 30.
  • the heat exchange tubes and the sensing tubes have substantially identical temperature profiles. That is, at any location, adjacent segments of tubes will be at the same temperature.
  • the sensing fluids 56 and 64 within the sensing tube means 39 and 41, respectively are heated, they both expand in substantially identical amounts as long as temperatures are below the predetermined maximum temperature for the working fluid 33. As the temperature changes, the volumetric changes of the fluid within the sensing tube means 39 and 41 are equal.
  • An increase or decrease in temperature thereby causes a corresponding movement of both the supporting arm 44 and the switch actuating means 58, as indicated by arrows 68 and 70, but no relative movement between the microswitch 46 and the actuator arm 58 is produced.
  • the microswitch 46 does not sense the temperature change.
  • movement of the supporting arm 44 with its associated microswitch 46 and/or the switch actuating arm 58 may provide a signal as a function of boiler temperature change by actuating the microswitch 59.
  • the actuation of the microswitch 59 may be used to cause a lower stage of combustion in zone 38.
  • hot spots may develop along one or more relatively small linear segments of the heat exchange tube 30.
  • the sensing fluids 56 and 64 within the sensing tubes 38 and 40, respectively will expand by equal volumetric amounts until the predetermined maximum temperature for the working fluid 33 is reached.
  • this predetermined temperature is reached at any segmental length of the heat exchange tube 30, the sensing fluid 64 in the adjacent segment of the sensing tube 40 will vaporize.
  • the fluid volume within the sensing tube menas 41 will thereby experience a sudden volumetric expansion as compared to the expansion which will take place within the sensing tube means 39.
  • the expansion of the sensing fluid within the sensing tube means 41 will cause the switch actuating arm to move outwardly from the bellows 44, against the bias of the spring 62 and actuate the microswitch 46.
  • the signal from the microswitch 46 may be used to influence the operation of the burner means 36 so as to reduce or en tirely cut off the heat input into the boiler and thereby avoid overheating of the working fluid 33.
  • FIG. 3 A boiler of smaller heat producing capacity is illustrated in FIG. 3 wherein like numerals are used to designate like parts.
  • the apparatus consists of heat exchange means 12 and a control means 14.

  • the products of combustion pass across a portion of the tube 72, through the baffle 76, onto the remainder of the tube 72 and out through an exhaust opening 80.
  • Working fluid 33 enters the boiler through an inlet 82 of the heat exchange tube 72 and circulates through the tube 72 where it is vaporized.
  • the vapor passes from the tube 72 through an outlet 84
  • the control means 14 operates in the same manner as when associated with the apparatus described in connection with FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • a pair of sensing tube means 39 and 41 include sensing tubes 38 and 40, respectively, which extend through the entire length of the heat exchange tube 72, internally thereof.
  • the sensing fluid in the sensing tubes 38 and 40 is subject to expansion, contraction and vaporization in response to the temperatures existing along the heat exchange tube to provide a signal for influencing boiler operation.
  • a heat exchange means 85 includes a pair of headers 86 and 88 which support therebetween a plurality of heat exchange tubes 90.
  • Associated with the heat exchange means 85 is a control means 92.
  • the control means 92 is characterized by sensing tubes 94 which extend singly along the heat exchange tubes 90 rather than in pairs.
  • the control means having a single sensing tube tends to be characterized by tube length limitations not experienced with the dual sensing tube control means.
  • the control means 92 will be described in connection with the system employing three separate control devices, 93, 95 and 97. It should, of course, be understood that any number of control devices could be used.
  • the control device 93 includes the short sensing tube 94 which extends along the exterior of a pair of heat exchange tubes 90 and through the header 88 to an expansible chamber, or bellows, 100. Extending from the bellows 100 is a plunger 106. Referring to FIGS. 6A and 6B, it will be seen that the plunger 106 is connected to a rocker arm 112 which is biased by a compression spring 114 and pivoted at 116.

  • a spring 122 is interposed between the bellows 100 and the casing 124 to determine the pressure of the sensing fluid 126 within the control device 93 and thereby the temperature at which the sensing fluid will vaporize, the vaporization temperature being the maximum working fluid temperature.
  • the control devices 95 and 97 are each contructed in exactly the same fashion as the control device 93.
  • rocker arms 128 and 132 having pivotal connections 130 and 134, and springs 136 and 138 interposed between bellows 102 and 104 and the casing 124.
  • rocker arms 112, 128 and 132 cooperate with the same guide 118 which enables them to operate the single microswitch 120.
  • the springs 112, 136 and 138 establish identical sensing fluid pressure in each of the control devices 93, 95 and 97.
  • working fluid passes from the header 86 through the heat exchange tubes where it is vaporized and then into the header 88. From the header 88, the working fluid vapor passes to other components of the system as will hereafter be described.
  • the products of combustion or other medium from which heat is to be transferred to the working fluid passes around the heat exchange tubes 90, through the spaces between them.
  • the sensing fluid within the sensing tubes 94, 96 and 98 is responsive to the overall average temperature of the heat exchange tubes with which they are associated. Expansion of the sensing fluids within the various control devices 93, and 97 will all be relatively small and substantially equal when there is substantially uniform temperature within the heat exchange means 85.
  • the system is constructed so that there is not enough potential thermal expansion of the sensing fluid to cause sufficient movement of the rocker arms and to actuate the microswitch 120.
  • the small movement of the guide 118 which does take place is accomodated by the space 140 which permits the guide to move up and down a little without actuating the microswitch.
  • this relatively high temperature will cause vaporization of the sensing fluid within the adjacent segment of one of the sensing tubes.
  • the vaporization of the sensing fluid in even a small segment of a sensing tube will produce enough expansion in the fluid volume to operate the microswitch.
  • the sensing fluid within the sensing tube 94 adjacent the hot spot will evaporate and significantly increase the volume of the sensing fluid within the sensing device 93.
  • the bellows will expand and advance the plunger 106.
  • the plunger 106 will cause the rocker arm 112 to pivot about the support 116 and depress the guide 118 by a sufficient amount to close.
  • microswitch 120 then sends a signal to the system for influencing the operation of the burner, not shown, associated with the heat exchange means 85. Since the rocker arms associated with the various control devices all operate upon a single microswitch, a hot spot occurring adjacent any one of the sensing tubes will causes the microswitch 120 to be actuated. Individual microswitches may be associated with each rocker arm so that the general location of the hot spot can be determined in accordance with which the microswitch is actuated.

  • the signal produced from the microswitch 46 is directed through the control logic 152 to the burner cut-off means 166.
  • the cut-off means 166 commands the fuelair control means 164 to completely terminate the fuel and air supply to the burner 36. In this manner, the system is shut down quickly so that permanent damage is avoided.
