Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for operating a heat exchanger and an arrangement with a correspondingly operable heat exchanger according to the preambles of the respective independent claims.
- Heat exchangers with cryogenic fluids i.e. Operate fluids at temperatures significantly below 0 ° C, in particular significantly below -100 ° C.
- main heat exchangers also referred to as “main heat exchangers” or “main heat exchangers” of air separation plants, but in principle it is also suitable for use in others
- heat exchanger is used routinely, even if strictly speaking no “exchange” of heat takes place in such an apparatus.
- the present invention is also particularly suitable in systems for liquefying gaseous air products, for example gaseous nitrogen.
- Corresponding plants can be supplied with gaseous nitrogen and liquefy it, in particular by air separation plants.
- the liquefaction is not like in a
- Air separation plant a rectification downstream. Therefore, when the problems described below are overcome, for example when there is no need for corresponding liquefaction products, these systems can be switched off completely and kept in standby until the next use.
- Air separation plants and other heat exchangers flowed through with warm and cryogenic media when the associated plant and thus the
- the heat exchanger only warms up to the ambient temperature over a much longer period.
- This case relates to the present invention. This behavior is observed in particular when the main heat exchanger, which is housed in a cold-insulated manner, is blocked together with the rectification unit when an air separation plant is switched off, ie when no more gas is supplied from the outside. In such a case, typically only gas that is produced due to thermal insulation losses is blown off cold.
- a system for liquefying a gaseous air product for example liquid nitrogen
- US 2002/017468 A1, US 3,469,271 A and DE 10 2009 042994 A1 also relate to methods for operating heat exchangers or corresponding arrangements with heat exchangers.
- the present invention therefore has as its object to provide measures which require certain heat exchangers to be restarted after a prolonged period
- the present invention proposes a method for operating a heat exchanger and an arrangement with a correspondingly operable Heat exchanger, in particular as an air treatment plant, plant for storing and recovering electrical energy or plant for
- a “heat exchanger” in the parlance used here is an apparatus which is used for the indirect transfer of heat between at least two e.g. fluid flows guided in countercurrent to one another.
- a heat exchanger for use in the present invention may be formed from a single or a plurality of heat exchanger sections connected in parallel and / or in series, e.g. from one or more plate heat exchanger blocks.
- a heat exchanger has “passages” which are set up for fluid guidance and are fluidically separated from other passages or are only connected on the input and output sides via the respective headers. These are referred to below as “heat exchanger passages".
- the terms “heat exchanger” and “heat (exchanger)” are often used synonymously in the professional world. This also applies here.
- the present invention relates to the apparatus referred to as plate fin heat exchangers in accordance with the German version of ISO 15547-2: 2005. If the term "heat exchanger” is used below, it is understood to mean a fin-plate heat exchanger. A finned plate heat exchanger has a plurality of superimposed flat
- Chambers or elongated channels which are each separated by corrugated or otherwise structured and interconnected, for example soldered plates, usually made of aluminum.
- the plates are stabilized by means of side bars and connected to each other.
- the structuring of the heat exchanger plates serves in particular to increase the heat exchange area, but also to increase the stability of the heat exchanger.
- the invention relates in particular to brazed aluminum fin-plate heat exchangers.
- the present invention can be used in air separation plants of known type, but also, for example, in plants for storing and recovering energy using liquid air and in plants for liquefying gaseous air products.
- the storage and recovery of energy using liquid air is also referred to as Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES).
- LAES Liquid Air Energy Storage
- a corresponding system is disclosed, for example, in EP 3 032 203 A1.
- Liquids are stored and used in the second operating mode for the generation of electrical energy. Examples of corresponding cryogenic
- Liquids are liquid nitrogen or liquid oxygen or
- Component mixtures consisting mainly of liquid nitrogen or liquid oxygen.
- external heat and fuel can also be coupled in in order to increase the efficiency and the output power, in particular using a gas turbine, the exhaust gas of which is expanded together with the pressure stream formed from the air product in the second operating mode.
- the invention is also suitable for such systems.
- Air separation plants are used. If liquid air is used, it is also possible to use pure air liquefaction systems. As a generic term for Air separation plants and air liquefaction plants, the term “air treatment plants” is therefore also used below.
- a heat exchanger can be flowed through with cold gas from a tank or exhaust gas from the stationary system during a standstill of the associated system in order to avoid heating or the developed one
- the process may only be complex to implement.
- Flow velocities in the heat exchanger can result in an incorrect distribution within a heat exchanger block and in particular over several
- Heat exchanger blocks cannot be excluded. In principle, however, it is desirable to keep the amounts of gas used low in order to
- cryogenic media For example, to avoid product losses or the consumption of appropriate cryogenic media. Furthermore, implementation is more appropriate
- the present invention proposes a method for operating a
- Heat exchanger which has a heat exchange zone, which extends between a first end and a second end, and which has a plate stack of heat transfer plates, the heat transfer plates, as is customary in this regard for fin-plate heat exchangers, structured (profiled, corrugated and, if necessary have perforated) sheets and corresponding edge bars (English sidebars).
- a parallelepiped-shaped block is formed by a corresponding plate stack, which block has corresponding headers for feeding and removing fluids, as is common practice.
- the heat exchanger operated according to the invention is, as mentioned, a fin-plate heat exchanger of a known type.
- the present invention is applied to a heat exchanger in which a width of the heat transfer plates and a height of that formed therefrom
- Plate stacks in the heat exchange zone between one fifth and one each Is a third of the length of the heat transfer plates between the first end and the second end.
- the width of the heat transfer plates is a dimension in a direction that is perpendicular to a main flow direction of the fluids through the heat exchanger or orthogonal to a shortest connection between the first and the second end and in a plane of the respective heat exchanger plates.
- the stack height denotes the added heights of the respective
- Heat exchanger plates perpendicular to their plane.
- the present invention thus already differs in this point from known methods for operating wound heat exchangers.
- a wound heat exchanger completely different temperature compensation phenomena occur than in a finned plate heat exchanger, because here the wound ones
- Heat exchanger tubes or capillaries are also subjected to heat exchange with adjacent tubes or capillaries, but primarily with the surrounding jacket space, in which a gaseous medium to be heated typically flows.
- Heat exchangers present overall in a smaller proportion and in particular less rigid material transitions can be exposed to this, if necessary, significantly harsher temperature gradients. It is therefore not obvious to transfer suitable measures for a wound heat exchanger to a fin-plate heat exchanger. The specialist would have been prevented by the fundamentally different boundary conditions here.
- Temperature distribution over the entire cross-sectional area of the heat exchanger can adjust. In other words, even with reduced fluid feed, this can result in any cross-sectional plane between the first end and the second In the end, a temperature distribution can be achieved in which a maximum temperature and a minimum temperature do not differ by more than 20, 10 or 5 K.
- the present invention proposes that, in a first operating mode, fluids are provided at different feed temperature levels and are each passed through the heat exchange zone in a first quantity per unit of time, thereby bringing the first end of the heat exchange zone to a first temperature level and the second end of the heat exchange zone to second temperature level, which is in particular below the first temperature level, is brought.
- the feed temperature levels are those at which the corresponding fluids are also fed into the heat exchanger or are fed to the heat exchanger at the first or second end. They comprise a first feed temperature level of a fluid to be cooled and a second feed temperature level of a fluid to be heated, the first feed temperature level in the case of an air separation plant in particular at ambient temperature or at 0 to 30 ° C. and the second
- the first temperature level, to which the first end of the heat exchange zone is brought, and the second temperature level, to which the second end of the heat exchange zone is brought, result in particular from the feed temperature levels mentioned. They are close to these, i.e. in particular, they reject them by no more than 20 ° C. or no more than 10 ° C.
- Such a first operating mode corresponds to normal operation of the
- Heat exchanger which is used for the temperature control of corresponding fluids, which can be provided in the form of one or more identical or different fluid flows.
- at least one first fluid to be cooled is passed through the heat exchange zone from the first to the second end and at least one second fluid to be heated is passed from the second to the first end.
- Corresponding temperature levels can in particular be at least partially in a cryogenic range. So the first temperature level in particular at 0 to 100 ° C, for example at about 20 ° C and the second temperature level in particular at -100 to -200 ° C, for example at about -175 ° C.
- a corresponding heat exchanger can be arranged in a so-called cold box, in particular together with other apparatus.
- a corresponding decommissioning can be particularly advantageous in the case of a plant for the liquefaction of a gaseous air product, for example gaseous nitrogen, since this is not connected to a rectification column system like an air separation plant.
- Heat exchange zone at the first end of the heat exchange zone set a third temperature level and at the second end of the heat exchange zone a fourth temperature level.
- the temperature level in the case considered in the context of the present invention is always greater than a difference between the third
- Temperature level and the fourth temperature level In the second operating mode, therefore, a certain temperature compensation occurs, which can also have the effect that the third and fourth temperature levels are the same or at least do not differ by more than 50, 40, 30, 20 or 10 K.
- the invention does not relate to the fully heated state of a corresponding heat exchanger.
- an average value between the third temperature level and the fourth temperature level does not deviate by more than 50, 40, 30, 20 or 10 K from an average value between the first temperature level and the second temperature level.
- the two mean values are therefore similar or the same and differ only because of a temperature input (which is significantly slower than the heat balance between the warm and the cold end).
- a temperature difference between the first and the second temperature level can be more than 150 K in particular.
- the mean value between the third and fourth, and thus also between the first and the second temperature level deviates in particular by more than 50 K and up to 100 K from the closest feed-in temperature level (which may be above or below) ,
- the system switches repeatedly from the first operating mode to the second operating mode and from the second operating mode to the first operating mode.
- Corresponding switching processes can in principle take place in different systems, but they are particularly important in systems in which an alternating mode of operation takes place routinely, for example systems for storing and recovering electrical energy using liquid air or other liquid air products.
- the present invention is particularly advantageous in plants of this type.
- the present invention can be used in any system in which a heat exchanger can be operated accordingly.
- plants for liquefaction and separation of natural gas the aforementioned LAES plants, plants for air separation,
- Liquefaction circuits of all kinds especially for air and nitrogen
- ethylene plants in particular separation plants that are set up to process gas mixtures from steamer racks
- Cooling circuits for example with ethane or ethylene on different
- Pressure levels are used and systems in which carbon monoxide and / or carbon dioxide cycles are provided act.
- the switchover from the second operating mode to the first operating mode includes the fluids that flow through the first amount per unit time in the first operating mode
- Heat exchange zone are to be conducted through the heat exchange zone in a second quantity per unit of time, which is less than the first quantity per unit of time, until a point in time of elevation and only through the first heat exchange zone in the first quantity per unit of time from the time of increase.
- the switchover from the second operating mode can also take place in the form of a gradual or ramp-shaped transition. Even in such a case, the second quantity per unit of time (with the ramp-shaped increase) is less than the first quantity per unit of time (after the increase).
- Ramps with different gradients, gradients with ramps and plateaus and the like can also be used. The same applies to a ramp-like increase after the time of the increase.
- the present invention is based on the knowledge that the thermally induced voltages when restarting in a suitable manner
- temperature-balanced state as may be present in particular after longer phases of an explained second operating mode, can strongly depend on the speed of the restart. While high mass flows can lead to high thermal voltages, the thermal stress can be significantly reduced at low start-up speeds with sufficiently small mass flows. More is particularly below with reference to Figure 3
- the present invention exerts its effects in the heat exchangers explained above, since here a sufficiently balanced temperature profile can also be achieved in cross-section through the heat exchange zone by means of a sufficiently fast cross conduction.
- the temperature profile at Starting of the apparatus from the two ends starting with progressive time to the interior of the heat exchanger or its heat exchange zone.
- sensitive areas which are typically located in the terminal areas of a corresponding heat exchange zone, for example in a sensitive area of module connections, the heat exchanger already has the largest areas occurring during the transition to normal operation
- the invention therefore proposes, with the above-mentioned measures, first to guide fluids through the heat exchange zone with a smaller amount per unit of time and only afterwards, namely to increase the amount or to increase the amount, if the temperature has already changed sufficiently in corresponding sensitive areas set maximum amount.
- the present invention enables a significant service life optimization or improvement of fin-plate heat exchangers during restart processes from temperature-balanced conditions or at high temperature differences between incoming currents and metal temperatures of the heat exchanger.
- the main heat exchangers of air separation plants can be operated in a load-flexible manner (for
- the present invention makes it possible to avoid unplanned downtimes, repair costs and procurement of spare parts.
- the mode of operation of a corresponding system proposed according to the invention can be observed operationally, for example by means of surface temperature measurements.
- the start-up process can thus be monitored and the time at which the start-up process can be accelerated can be well predicted.
- a corresponding time of increase can therefore be determined in the context of the present invention at least in part on the basis of one or more temperature measurements at one or more points in the heat exchange zone.
- the corresponding area can be defined in particular by means of a longitudinal coordinate which corresponds to the end of a module connection.
- a measurement at another location is also possible in principle, provided that a temperature at a corresponding sensitive location can be inferred in this way, for example on the basis of known material properties and possibly
- Is a corresponding heat exchanger for example, characterized with sufficient accuracy with regard to material and thermal properties, and are
- Temperature measurement can be dispensed with, because it can be assumed that after a certain time in the sensitive zones, a corresponding one
- Temperature value is reached. Therefore, as an alternative or in addition, it is also possible to base the increase in time at least in part on the basis of a period of time that has elapsed since the switchover was initiated and / or on the basis of the start of the supply of the fluids that are used in the second operating mode in the second quantity per unit time to set the elapsed period. It is also possible, for example, to base the switchover time on a

- the heat exchanger can have a number of modules which are connected to one another by means of module connections, one or more of the module connections being or being arranged in the terminal sub-zones, and the central sub-zone being free of the module connections. Due to the slow approach, the present invention permits targeted protection of the areas with the module connections or other sensitive zones, that is to say the first and second terminal partial zones, which are particularly critical with regard to rapid temperature changes. Module connections are particularly due to their
