Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing a fin-plate heat exchanger, a solder for use in such a method, a separating plate with solder coating for use in such a method, and a fin-plate heat exchanger manufactured according to the method.
- the present invention relates to brazed aluminum plate-fin heat exchangers (PFHE; designations according to the German and English editions of ISO 15547-2:3005), as they are used in a large number of process engineering systems at different pressures and temperatures are used.
- Corresponding heat exchangers are used, for example, in the low-temperature separation of air, in the liquefaction of natural gas or in plants for the production of ethylene. If, in the following, a "heat exchanger” or “plate heat exchanger” is used for short, this always means a corresponding (hard) soldered fin-plate heat exchanger made of aluminum.
- aluminum can also refer to an aluminum alloy.
- Brazed fin-plate heat exchangers made of aluminum are shown in Figure 2 of the mentioned ISO 15547-2:3005 and on page 5 of the publication "The Standards of the Brazed Aluminum Plate-Fin Heat Exchanger Manufacturers' Association” by ALPEMA, 3rd edition 2010. shown and described. An illustration that essentially corresponds to the illustrations there is shown in the attached FIG. 1 and is explained in advance in the following.
- the plate heat exchanger 100 shown partially opened in Figure 1 is used for heat exchange between five different process media A to E in the example shown.
- the plate heat exchanger 100 comprises a multiplicity of separating plates 4 arranged parallel to one another, between which structural plates 3 (fins, ribs) are arranged.
- the separating plates 4 and the structured plates 3 form heat exchange passages 1 for the process media A to E, which can thereby exchange heat with one another.
- the structural sheets 3 are typically folded or corrugated, flow channels being formed by the folds or corrugations, as also shown in FIG. 1 of ISO 15547-2:3005.
- the structural sheets 3 bring about improved heat transfer, targeted fluid guidance and an increase in the mechanical (tensile) strength.
- the respective process media A to E flow separately from one another through the separating plates 4.
- the individual passages 1 and the structured metal sheets 3 are each surrounded laterally by so-called sidebars 8, which, however, leave feed and removal openings 9 free.
- the sidebars 8 keep the separating plates 4 at a distance and ensure mechanical reinforcement of the pressure chamber.
- Reinforced cover plates 5 (cap sheets), which are arranged parallel to the separating plates 4, serve to close off at least two sides.
- the process media A to E are fed in and removed via the feed and removal openings 9 by means of so-called headers 7 which are provided with nozzles 6 .
- headers 7 which are provided with nozzles 6 .
- further distribution structural sheets 2 distributed fins
- distribute the process media A to E from the passages 1 into the header 7 where they are collected and drawn off via the corresponding nozzles 6 .
- a cuboid heat exchanger block 10 is formed, under a "heat exchanger block" the components mentioned without the header 7 and nozzle 6 are to be understood in a connected state.
- the plate heat exchanger 100 can be formed from a plurality of corresponding cuboid heat exchanger blocks 10 connected to one another, in particular for manufacturing reasons.
- Corresponding aluminum plate heat exchangers 100 are brazed.
- the components i.e. the separating plates 4, the structural laminations 3, the other structural laminations with the distributor lamellae 2, the cover plates 5 and the sidebars 8, of which the separating plates are usually provided with solder, are stacked on top of one another or arranged accordingly and in one Furnace heated in a vacuum or at a sub-atmospheric pressure level (so-called vacuum brazing).
- the headers 7 and the sockets 6 are welded onto the heat exchanger block 10 produced in this way.
- the headers 7 are typically manufactured using semi-cylindrical extrusions which are cut to the required length and then welded onto the heat exchanger block 10.
- the object of the present invention is to simplify the production of fin-plate heat exchangers by vacuum brazing and in this way to provide improved fin-plate heat exchangers.
- the invention proposes a method for producing a fin-plate heat exchanger, a solder for use in such a method, a separating plate with solder coating for use in such a method, and a fin-plate heat exchanger produced according to the method with the respective features of the independent patent claims.
- Preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject matter of the dependent patent claims and the following description.
- solders with a magnesium content of more than 1% are used for vacuum brazing of aluminum and thus also for use in the manufacture of fin-plate heat exchangers, as is also the case in relevant standards such as e.g. AWS 5.8, "Specification for Filler Metals for Brazing and Braze Welding".
- the magnesium in the solder plating vaporizes during vacuum soldering in the furnace in the range of 530 to 560 °C and acts as a so-called "getter” during the soldering process in order to eliminate disturbing residual oxygen and moisture in order to improve the vacuum and the fluidity of the solder to enhance. Furthermore, will be happy.
- Literature for example the AWS Brazing Handbook or the ASM Handbook 6, the oxide layer of the aluminum is torn open by the evaporated magnesium and thus the soldering is improved.
- Another advantage of such solders is the formation of magnesium silicide precipitates, which improve the connection strength after a certain aging time.
- a major disadvantage of this brazing material is that the evaporation of the magnesium leads to an accumulation of magnesium (so-called magnesium built-up) in the vacuum furnace. After a certain time, this can lead to fires in the vacuum furnace and (due to the hygroscopic properties of magnesium oxide) to a deterioration in vacuum formation. As a result, the oven has to be cleaned regularly and laboriously.
- a silicon-based aluminum solder ie an alloy with aluminum as the main component and silicon in a content of 9 to 10 atomic percent, and a magnesium content of 0.1 to 0.65% and as specified below other alloying elements such as bismuth, zinc, titanium and copper, offers particular advantages when vacuum brazing aluminum and thus also advantages for use in the production of fin-plate heat exchangers.
- the present invention proposes a method for manufacturing a fin-plate heat exchanger in which components of the fin-plate heat exchanger to be soldered are at least partially provided with solder and positioned relative to one another, and by heating the components to be soldered and the solder at a sub-atmospheric pressure level, soldered connections are made between the components to be soldered.
- the solder used in the proposed method has aluminum as the main component, silicon in a content of 9 to 10 atomic percent, magnesium in a content of 0.1 to 0.65 atomic percent, iron in a content of 0.3 to 0.6 atomic percent , copper in a content up to 0.3 atomic percent, manganese in a content up to 0.1 atomic percent, zinc in a content up to 0.2 atomic percent, titanium in a content up to 0.2 atomic percent, bismuth in a content of 0.05 to 0.2 atomic percent and the balance aluminum. That is, aluminum is provided in an atomic percent content that adds up to the sum of the contents of the other alloying components for a total of 100 atomic percent.
- the stated magnesium content in a corresponding solder allows the reliability and strength of corresponding solder connections, for example detected by the bursting pressure, to be significantly improved with a sufficient getter effect, without an accumulation of magnesium occurring in the soldering furnace.
- the bursting strength improves by about 70% even when the magnesium content is increased from 0.05 atomic percent to 0.1 atomic percent.
- a solder with a magnesium content of at least 0.11 atomic percent, 0.12 atomic percent, 0.13 atomic percent, 0.14 atomic percent or 0.15 atomic percent can also be selected within the scope of the present invention.
- a further improvement in the bursting strength results from increasing magnesium contents, although it has been recognized that a plateau is almost reached at 0.65 atomic percent. Contents higher than this 0.65 atomic percent are therefore advantageously not chosen, since they would merely increase the magnesium content in the brazing furnace without any additional advantages.
- the solder preferably has a magnesium content of 0.55 up to 0.65 atomic percent.
- the magnesium contents mentioned prevent increased deposits of magnesium in the soldering furnace, but at the same time ensure sufficient magnesium as a getter and serve to improve the flowability of the solder (capillarity) in the soldering process.
- the solder used in the context of the invention has silicon in a content of 9 to 10 atomic percent.
- An appropriate silicon content ensures sufficient formation of magnesium silicide to increase the strength of the soldered joint. Furthermore, material erosion is satisfactorily prevented by this silicon content.
- the solder used within the scope of the invention has one or more other alloying components selected from the group consisting of iron, copper, manganese, zinc, titanium and bismuth.
- Bismuth improves the flowability of the solder during the soldering process. This results in particular in a reduction in the tendency to hot cracking when aluminum is welded to the heat exchanger blocks. Furthermore, the plating layer thickness can be reduced in this way and material costs can thus be saved.
- the solder used in the invention has 0.3 to 0.6 atomic percent iron, up to 0.3 atomic percent copper, up to 0.1 atomic percent manganese, up to 0.2 atomic percent zinc, up to 0.2 atomic percent titanium and 0.05 to 0.2 atomic percent bismuth.
- the solder does not include titanium.
- the solder preferably has a manganese content of 0.006 to 0.1 atomic percent, particularly preferably 0.006 to 0.07 atomic percent.
- the solder preferably has a zinc content of 0.0001 to 0.2 atomic percent, particularly preferably 0.0001 to 0.05 atomic percent.
- the solder preferably has a copper content of 0 to 0.3 atom percent copper, particularly preferably 0.001 to 0.02 atom percent.
- the solder has silicon in a content of 9.4 to 9.7 atomic percent, more preferably in a content of 9.5 to 9.6 atomic percent, and more preferably in a content of 9.5 atomic percent.
- the present invention also extends to a solder for use in a method for producing a plate-fin heat exchanger, in which components of the plate-fin heat exchanger to be soldered are at least partially provided with the solder and positioned relative to one another, and in which by Heating the components to be soldered and the solder to a sub-atmospheric pressure level to produce soldered joints between the components to be soldered.
- the solder has aluminum as a main component, silicon in a content of 9 to 10 atomic percent, magnesium in a content of 0.1 to 0.65 atomic percent, iron in a content of 0.3 to 0.6 atomic percent, copper in a content up to 0.3 atomic percent, manganese in a content up to 0.1 atomic percent, zinc in a content up to 0.2 atomic percent, titanium in a content up to 0.2 atomic percent, bismuth in a content from 0.05 to 0 .2 atomic percent, and the remainder is aluminum.
- the present invention also includes a separating plate with a solder coating for use in a method for producing a fin-plate heat exchanger, in which separating plates are positioned relative to one another with other components of the fin-plate heat exchanger to be brazed, and in which by heating the separating plates and the other components to be soldered at a sub-atmospheric pressure level, soldered connections between the separating plates and the other components to be soldered are produced, the separating plate having a core layer which is coated on one or both sides with a layer of solder, characterized in that the core layer has an AI 3003 or AI 3004 aluminum alloy, and that the solder coating contains aluminum as the main component, silicon in a content of 9 to 10 atomic percent, magnesium in a content of 0.1 to 0.65 atomic percent, iron in a content of 0.3 to 0.6 atomic percent, Copper in a content up to 0.3 atomic percent t, manganese in a content up to 0.1 atomic percent, zinc in a content up to 0.2 atomic percent,
