Definitions

  • recuperator unit is shown in association with a gas-fired furnace of the closed loop radiator type. (specifically U-shaped) as a substitute for the usual furnace exhaust stack or flue It incorporates a set of vertically elongated internal, axially telescopcd and radially spaced cylindrical wall or shell members, of which three optionally define a bidirectional passage for a continuous flow of blower-supplied air to be preheated prior to its combustion with a heating gas.
  • the path of flow of the air upon entry from the blower line and in being preheated is initially upward through an annular, radially outer passage zone of the recuperator, thence downwardly upon reversal in a parallel annular flow through a radially inner passage or zone, thence radially outwardly to the hot 'air discharge piping of the unit and the furnace radiator.
  • the radial spacing of the shell structure which defines the air flow path, and its heat transfer relation to a combusted air discharge flow from the radiator, is arrived at as the result of a careful combination of empirical and mathematical constraint considerations.
  • the recuperator has a well-insulated external stack wall structure within which said radially spaced shells are disposed; and an upright and vertically elongated ceramic core member is positioned within the innermost of the wall parts or shells above referred to, controlling an upward flow of gaseous products of combustion issuing from the furnaces radiator loop.
  • An object of the invention is the improvement of the operation of industrial gas-fired radiant tube furnaces of a considerable number of types used for a considerable number of purposes, in all of which cases the recuperator improves the overall efficiency and economy of furnace operation, to at least the extent that the higher is the pre-heat temperature of the combustion air, the higher is the saving in combustion fuel.
  • Eisenlohr and Krause disclose types of heat exchange elements very generally similar in function to a core-breaker; and in this context the Krause patent discusses in a general way the problem of avoiding an excessive pressure drop while obtaining a turbulent intermix of flowing gases, although not in a heat exchange operation.
  • the patents to Cone et al., Buell and Dreffein show arrangements of axially telescoped tubular wall or partition components in furnace recuperator, preheater or economizer units. However, critical factors of thepresent improvement in regard to radial spacing and other dimensional factors are not shown or suggested.
  • recuperator of the invention as constituted by special components and their relationships briefly described in the Abstract, is the fruit of a combination of mathematically and experimentally or empirically justified considerations, which combination achieves a desirable and valuable balancing of certain operational variables as to design size, back pressure, etc., also as to practical expediency for optimum heat transfer to an incoming blower cold air supply prior to its admixture and combustion with a heating gas.
  • a most important objective is to produce an ample volume of flow of the burning mixture in the radiator unit of the furnace without creating undue back pressure therein.
  • the invention improves very materially over general conceptions taught by the prior art, particularly in matters of concern to the industry in terms of manufacturing feasibility, efficienty and cost of production.
  • the improved recuperator occupies very little or in effect no additional available space over what is necessary to accommodate conventional stack or flue structures of known radiant tube furnaces. It combines different modes of heat transfer, i.e., free convection and radiation on the exhaust gas side and turbulent forced convection on the combustion air side, thus maximizing the preheat temperature within the constraints of recuperator size, blower pressure and radiant tube pressure.
  • the recuperator is very simple, being made by known and inexpensive sheet metal fabrication techniques, in particular as regards the wrapped or rolled tube design of its set of separator walls or shells. More particularly, its construction technique using spacers and wrapping metal to form and maintain the circulatory passages required for turbulent forced convection heat transfer is a very economical method; for in general standard available commercial pipe and/or tubing will not accommodate the design factors which produce optimum heat transfer, in this case reducing to optimum preheat temperature.
  • the volumetrically proportional double pass flow of the combustion air af forded by the improvement material ly increases the preheat temperature; it also assists in maintaining ac ceptable outside surface temperatures.
  • the present recuperator also operates well in liquid fuel-fired installations.
  • the radiant tubing has been described in terms of a U-type structure, it is to be understood that different types of tubes, i.e., straight-through, W-shaped and loop type are contemplated for the radiator components.
  • recuperator requires no special castings, new burner heads, etc., as has sometimes been the case in heat exchange recuperators or economizers of the prior art. It produces significant fuel savings, observed as up to 30 percent under practical industrial conditions.
  • FIG. 1 is a face elevational view, fragmentary in nature, illustrating a typical installation of the recuperator of the invention on a standard gas-fired radiant tubetype furnace;
  • FIG. 2 is a view in horizontal section, as on line 2-2 of FIGS. 1 and 3, generally and quite schematically showing the U-shaped configuration of the radiant heating tube unit of the furnace, contours of the recuperator and its connections appearing only in dot-dash line;
  • FIG. 3 is a fragmentary enlarged scale view in vertical cross section of the recuperator installation, as on line 33 of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is a larger scale view in vertical section on broken line 4-4 of FIG. 3, affording a better illustration of certain quite critical dimensional relationships of the recuperator structure.
  • FIG. 5 is a view in horizontal section on line 5-5 of FIG. 4.
  • FIGS. 1 and 3 best show the improved recuperator unit of the invention, generally designated 10, as operatively installed on a typicalgas-fired radiant tube-type furnace F, the structure of which constitutes no part of the invention, save very generally in the fact that it utilizes a series of U-shaped or closed undulatory looptype heat radiators 11.
  • each is characterized, as appears in FIGS. I and 2, by an elongated intake leg 11' through which a gasair combustion mix enters the radiator tube and a discharge leg ll" from which the products of combustion enter the bottom of recuperator l0, thence traveling in a manner to be described upwardly through a flue or stack of the unit.
  • Air to be preheated for combustion is supplied by an appropriately rated blower unit 12 (FIG. 1) which discharges via standard piping connections 13, a manual regulating valve 14 and further pipe connections at 15 to a welded radial air intake fitting or nipple 16 of recuperator 10, which fitting is in communication with a lower portion of a stack wall structure 18 of the recuperator.
  • the furnace F is entirely conventional, typically comprising a relatively thin external sheet metal casing or sheath 19 having an insulating wall portion 20 (for example of insulating fiber board or the like) directly inwardly of the sheath, backed by an inner wall member 21, preferably of insulating fire brick.
  • Combusted heating product exits from radiant heater 11 through the heaters discharge leg 11', the latter being positioned within a cylindrical ceramic receiving sleeve 22 traversing the furnace wall structure, and a similar sleeve receives the radiators intake leg 11".
  • the products of combustion enter aninsulated bottom intake manifold or chamber 23 of the recuperator unit 10, exiting the latter after serving their purpose through a top stack or flue portion of the unit.
  • the bottom wall of chamber 23 carries a gas pilot opening 26 at which a burner 26' initiates a flash-back ignition of the gas-air mixture of tube 11, and the front chamber wall portion is shown as equipped with a peep-sight 27.
  • the burners can be ignited in other ways, but flash-back ignition works well because of the low back pressure in the radiator tubing.
  • Recuperator 10 is fixedly mounted to the furnace F, with its vertical center typically spaced a foot forward of furnace casing 19, by an adaptor arrangement 29 (FIG. 3) including a sheet metal stamped sleeve 30 fast on the outer end of the ceramic furnace sleeve 22; and a stamped wall portion externally defining the intake chamber 23 of the invention is equipped with an integral radially extending and cylindrical sleeve 31 which telescopes over the end of outer leg 11" of burner 11, as well as an annular sealing gasket 32 carried by the leg. Adjustable screw means 33 connect a radial flange portion of sleeve 30 with a corresponding flange portion of the mounting part 30.
  • preheated air departs from recuperator 10 through a nipple and ell connection 35, entering the intake leg 11 of burner 11 via another L-type union 36.
  • the connection 35 couples onto a welded radial discharge fitting 37 of the recuperator, just below its air intake at fitting 16, through which line, as indicated by arrow in FIG. 3, the heated air goes to the burner.
  • a combustion gas line 38 as supplied by a suitable source (not shown), similarly enters the burner tube leg 11' adjacent its preheated air entry.
  • air to be heated is furnished at the recuperators air intake fitting 16 at a temperature of, say, 80-l00 F, and it exits from the recuperator fitting 37 at a temperature of from 800 F to 1,000 F.
  • Air heating combustion product enters the recuperator proper from chamber 23 fed by the radiator discharge leg ll" at a typical l,700-l,900 F.
  • the recuperators intake manifold space or chamber 23 is of double-walled construction, including an inner, cylindrically cup-shaped sheet metal wall component 40 and a concentric, similarly sectioned and internally nested outer wall part 41.
  • pilot opening 26 and heated air discharge fitting 37 all extend through this composite wall structure, which is filled between its chamber wall parts 40 and 41 with a compacted fibrous insulating material.
  • a circular sheet metal plate 43 defines the top of' chamber 23, being welded marginally to wall member 40 in a horizontal zone slightly above the discharge leg 11" of the radiator tube.
  • Plate 43 is provided with a large diameter circular center opening 44 through which the products of burner combustion travel upwardly, as indicated by arrow in FIG. 3.
  • the inner marginal portion of plate 43 affords an annular shelf portion 45, which is employed as a support for a spider unit 46 (FIG. 5). This is constituted by four intersecting welded legs 46 and serves a purpose to bedescribed.
  • Recuperator 10 as best illustrated in FIGS. 3, 4 and I 5, also has an insulated double wall stack structure 18 above its intake manifold 23, this structure including an outer cylindrical wall or shell 47 of 22 gauge steel of but slightly less diameter than the outer manifold wall 41, and an intermediate 14 gauge sheet metal wall or shell part 48, with the annular space between these telescoped concentric members being filled by a compacted fibrous or equivalent insulating material.
  • Shell 48 outwardly defines a cold combustion air intake space of circular cross section and extensive axial height; said space is designated 50 (FIG.
  • recuperator 4 being radially inwardly defined by a second 14 gauge sheet steel separator wall or shell 49, and the sectional area of the circulatoryspace 50 thus defined bears, in the specific two-walled combustion air-circulatory concept herein illustrated, a predetermined mathematically and empirically determined rough relationship to a second and V inner air circulatory space 58 in the stack structure 18 of recuperator 10.
  • the invention more generally goes to a relationship of air and combusted gas flow modes or characteristics internally of recuperator 10, as will be described.
  • the insulating wall or shell members 47, 48 of structure 18 rest upon a circular divider plate 52 lying atop and fixedly secured similarly to the wall structure of intake manifold space 23; and wall or separator shell member 49 of the stack structure projects downwardly through a circular opening 53 in panel or wall 52, being tack welded about said opening and terminating somewhat above the apertured top panel 43 of the manifold chamber 23.
  • the shells 48, 49 have gas-tight welds to divider plate 52, but shell 47 may be tack-welded to that plate.
  • the wall structure of the recuperator stack 18 is completed by a radially innermost, vertically elongated cylindrical shell 54 of H32 inch sheet steel; and the shell members 48, 49 and 54 are all by preference, as appears in FIG. 5, formed of sheet steel wrapped or rolled 360, end-overlapped and seam welded to one another in a vertical zone at 56.
  • An extremely inexpensive, custom-proportionable stack structure is thus possible.
  • the diameters and gauges of the shell components above described are in the main optional; of more importance are the relationships in point of area of the spaces defined by the components.
  • Inner shell 54 extends fully downwardly into engagement with the top of the intake manifold top panel 43, to which it is gas-tight welded; and an accurate and predetermined radial spacing of the telescoped separator shells 49 and 54 is insured by the interposition therebetween of a plurality of vertically elongated spacer rods 57, which are distributed equidistantly about the circumference of said shells, being tack-welded at their bottoms and top between shells 49 and 54. They thus afford a relatively precise radial width of an air circulatory space, passage or zone 58 (see FIG. 5) extending vertically substantially the entire height of the stack structure.
  • the top of space 58 as best illustrated in FIG.
  • Stack structure 18 is in effect completed by a twopiece top horizontal plate unit 60, 60 (FIG. 3).
  • the upper plate 60 is provided with a central circular aperture through which the inner shell member 54 projects upwardly as a central exhaust flue of recuperator 10, being marginally welded to plate 60.
  • Lower plate 60 is welded to the top of recuperator shell 48, and plates 60 and 60' are welded to one another. Thus said plates serve as an extension unit connecting the hot shell member 54 and the colder shell 48.
  • the reduced radius circulatory area passage 58 opens beneath its inner end defined by wall portion or shell 49 into a relatively large diameter air discharge manifold space 61 of the recuperator, just above the lower intake manifold 23, and the manifold 61 is in direct radial outward communication with the outlet fitting 37, as best appears in FIG. 3.
  • a vertically elongated center core 62 (also known as a core buster) of an appropriate heat radiating ceramic or metal refractory material is received in the central space of stack structure 18 within the latters innermost shell 54 thus forming, between the core 62 and the shell 54, a vertical exhaust gas passageway 65 for the upwardly flowing exhaust gas from exhaust products manifold 23.
  • Core 62 is 6 94; inches square in horizontal cross section (FIG. 4) and rests on a rigid 6 inches di ameter metal plate 63, which plate is in turn supported by the spider unit 46, with the latters arms 46 roughly centering outwardly against the inner surface of cylindrical separator shell 54.
  • FIG. 4 shows the squaresectioned core 62 as thus being similarly centered at its corners by and within the same shell member 54.
  • the recuperator 10 will, among other and less significant dimensions, have a vertical height, between the upper plate 52 of its dis charge manifold 61 and the top flue plate 60, of approximately 46 inches, this height therefore representing that of the outer intake air circulating passage, zone or space 50.
  • the inner diameter of the inner insulated wall part 48 will be about l0 1% inches
  • the corresponding diameter of the inner shell 49 of space 50 will be about 9 V2 inches
  • the ID. of the inrlermost separator shell or wall portion 54 will be about 9 inches.
  • the radial width of the inner air circulatory space 58 will be about a inch
  • the generous circulatory area for products of combustion ascending stack structure 18 upwardly through vertical passageway 65 is to be compared with an approximate 5 sq in. cross sectional annular area of the inner air circulating downward passage or zone 58 de fined between shells 49 and 54; and the effect is to set up within shell 54 and externally of core 62 a heat transfer condition on the exhaust gas side of furnace radiator 11 which is altogether different from the heat transfer condition on the outer, combustion air side of shell 54.
  • the radially outermost upward air circulating space or zone 50 is desirable, as indicated above, particularly in that it insures a rela tively cool external surface of the recuperator 10, the above described general relationship in point of the nature of heat transfer directly within and without the shell 54 is a factor of major importance to the invention. It insures against undue back pressure in burner radiator 11 using a shell construction of industrially acceptable size and design.
  • the preheated temperature, designated T,,,,, of combustion air exiting the fitting 37 of recuperator 10 is a function of the wall area of shell 54 (A,) separating the exhaust gas from said combustion air being heated, and of a parameter called the overall heat transfer coefficient (U). That is, T,,,, is proportionate to A, times U.
  • A the wall area of shell 54
  • U the overall heat transfer coefficient
  • the overall heat transfer coefficient U is a function of two other parameters as follows: 1/ U l /h,; 1/11,, where h,; and h,, are respectively the heat transfer coefficients between the exhaust gases sweeping the inner surface of the separator wall or shell 54, and the combustion air traversing the outer surface of that separator.
  • the value U is always less than h,.; or h,,, so that it has become a problem to maximize h without unduly pressurizing the tube unit 11, and to use all the pressure from the blower to maximize h so that U is maximum.
  • the factors h and h, increase in value when the velocity of the exhaust gases and combustion air adjacent to the separator 54 are increased by restricting the area through which these gases and air flow. But the more these velocities are increased the more pressure is required, in turn subject to predetermined imposed furnace design limitations.
