Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heat exchanger or tubeunit for a heat exchangerin particular for applications for heat-exchanging media that react vigorously at direct contact, such as for example in a steam generator operating with liquid sodium and in a heat exchanger in which CO is heated by liquid sodium, this heat exchanger being composed of at least one tube for a heattransferring medium and at least one tube for a heatabsorbing medium, every tube for the heat-absorbing medium along a large part of its length being externally in heat-conductive contact with a tube for the heattransferring medium.
  • media between which heat transfer takes place in general there is one medium with a relatively low pressure and one medium with a relatively high pressure. It is known from the literature on this subject that for the exchange of heat liquid sodium can be applied as heat-transferring medium to produce steam. Because sodium and water react vigorously at mutual contact the heat exchange between these two media necessitates special safety measures.
  • both the water and the sodium are carried through separate tubes, when from a number of these tubes, entirely separated from each other, a heat exchanger is formed with the aid of laminations of heat-conductive material placed against each other, those laminations forming a block in which the tubes are provided, and having mutually externally heatconductive contact.
  • Still another drawback of this construction is that in the event of repair or replacement of one of the tubes the entire heat exchanger will have to be dismounted.
  • the heat exchanger according to the invention is characterized in that every tube for the heat-transferring medium externally is provided with at least one channel-shaped recess, against which lies a tube for the heat-absorbing medium and the profile of which in the location where the tubes are lying against each other corresponds to the external shape of the tube for the heat-absorbing medium.
  • the channel-shaped recess is carried out in such a way that the tube for the heat-absorbing medium lying in that recess, is taken into it for not more than half its circumference in order to obtain sufficient free surface of tube wall to allow, if necessary, one of the media to escape and to facilitate the leakage detection.
  • an adequately heat-conductive lute of a mechanical strength slight in respect of the tube walls In order to increase the heat transfer in this respect it may be of advantage to apply into the channelshaped recesses at the location where the tube walls of the two media are lying against each other, between these two walls, an adequately heat-conductive lute of a mechanical strength slight in respect of the tube walls.
  • a two-component lute could be used composed of graphite for the thermal conductivity and of water glass for rendering mechanical strength.
  • radio-active sodium from the primary cooling-circuit of the reactor can also be used as heat-transferring medium with water and steam as heat-absorbing media.
  • FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 herewith each give in cross-section embodiments with a central tube for feeding through sodium, the water tubes or steam tubes being distributed evenly over the outer wall of this tube.
  • FIG. 4 gives a view and FIG. 5 a cross-sectional view of another embodiment, in which a wide tube, rectangular in section, is applied for feeding through sodium, at the broad sides of which tube the water tubes or the steam tubes are transversily provided in the shape of a
  • the entire tube wall is profiled for shaping these channel-shaped recesses, whereas in FIG. 3 the tube wall is thicker and the channel-shaped recesses are only provided in the outer wall.
  • the channel-shaped recesses in the sodium tube have such a shape that the water tubes or steam tubes are taken into these recesses for not more than half their circumferences in order to retain both at the sodiumside and the steam side sufficient tube surface to allow sodium or steam to escape and to facilitate leak age detection.
  • the sodium tube is a wide flat rectangular tube 1, channel-shaped recesses 2 being provided in the broad walls 4 of the tube in a direction perpendicular to the direction of flow of the sodium through tube 1.
  • the water tubes or steam tubes are provided in the shape of a pipe coil 3.
  • a tube assembly for a heat exchanger adapted for media which react violently upon direct contact comprising a large tube provided with at least one external channel-shaped depression therein and at least one smaller tube which for a large part of its length is disposed with at most half of its circumference in the said channel-shaped depression in the large tube whose profile corresponds to the external shape of the smaller tube, the smaller tube being secured in the depression in the larger tube with means resulting in good thermal contact between the corresponding parts of the two tube surfaces and in only a slight strength of the connection as compared with the strength of the tube walls.
  • Heat exchanger according to claim 1 wherein the tube for the heat-transferring medium has several channel-shaped recesses, which are evenly distributed over the circumference.
