Description

104265~
me present invention relates to improvements in heat tr s fer apparatus, e.g. cylindrical, rotatable heat tr s fer drums. ~ore particu-larly, the present invention relates to such heat transfer drums which are capable of naintaining substantialiy uniform temperatures about their en~;re surface and are of relatively simple, inexpensive construction.
The use of cylindrical drums which employ various heat transfer media to heat their outer surfaces, and the use of these drums in various processes requiring such heat to be applied to various materials, e.g.
textile web materials, disposed on the drum surface, is well known. Gener-ally, these cylindrical rotatable heat tr s fer drums have employed various heat transfer media, including steam and certain hydrocarbon liquids. For t example, it has been known to supply steam to the interior of such cylindri-cal heat transfer drums in order to heat the outer surface thereof. Thus, in U.S. Patent No. 2,932,091 issued to G.D. Day on April 12, 1960 such a rotatable drum, used for drying purposes, is disclosed. The appara-- tus there taught includes a central hollow thick walled pipe for the sup-ply of steam to radially extending distributors, and then to a large plurality of parallelly spaced tubes lying about the inner periphery of the drum itself, and then to a seoond set of radial angularly spaced spokes or tubes at the opposite end of said drum for return of the steam. The use of such an apparatus, however, requires various c3ndensate headers in order to prevent obstruction of the steam passage by condensate forming within the parallelly spaced tubes, and
- 2 - ~ r -thus disturbing the heat transfer process. It is thus also necessary to impart the steam itself through these tubes at high velocities, in order to hold dcwn condensation, and to addition~lly scavenge condensate which has formed therein. The use of steam has also raised other difficulties, -~ ' including problems of rust and corrosion, as w~ll as the necessity to em-ploy massive heavy equipment.
In an attempt to solve these problems, the use of various fluid media, such as hydrocarbons, has been suggested. For example, U.S. Patent No. 3,228,462 issued to H.C. Smith on January 11, 1966 teaches such a heat exchange apparatus, or cylindrical drum, which utilizes such fluids as a heat transfer media for heating the outer cylindrical surface thereof.
Such patent teaches concentrically disposed inner and outer shells which are ~r separated by parallel partitions, for the supply of such a medium to the surface of the cylindrical drum for allegedly uniform heating thereof.
Such patent also provides independent, internested, labyrinthine flow chan- !
nels which extend around the periphery of the drum, and thus cause the heat transfer medium to flcw in opposite directions through these channels, each such flow channel beginning at one end of the drum, and ending at the other. m us, while such patent attempts to place adjacent each other hotter and ccoler legs in order to attempt to equalize the surface temperature of the outer shell, the apparatus taught includes all feed means for hot heat transfer fluid at one end of the drum, and all return means for cool heat transfer fluid at the other. In addition, use of such m~lti-path labyrinth-ine channels, even in large numbers, requires a relatively long flow path for the medium within each such flow channel, thus permitting ~ 3 -substantial cooling of this medium during its flow therethrough.
This, in turn, requires the excessive heating of the heat transfer media prior to its entrance into any given flow channel, According to a broad aspect of the present invention, apparatus is provided for uniformly heating materials, such apparatus comprising. concentric inner and outer shells defining an annular flow space therebetween; closing means connecting the opposite ends of the inner and outer shells;

Referring to the drawings, there is shown a cylindrical, rotata-ble, heat transfer drum, generally designated 1. The drum includes concen-tric inner and outer shells, 11 and 4, respectively, which define an annu-lar flow space 12. The construction of the outer shell 4 should be of a heat conductive material, e.g. cast iron or steel. These concen~ric inner and outer shells terminate at tw~ transverse faces 2 and 3 which include annular plates 39 and 38 which connect the ends of the inner and outer shells and seal the ends of the annular flow space 12. A central conduit or feed passage 6 passes through face 3 and is journaled in concentric bearings 7 and 8 (most clearly shown in Figure 1). The opposite face 2 in-cludes a support roller 9 mounted in a ooncentric bearing 10. A concentric return pipe S disposed within the central feed passage 6 is employed for the withdrawal of the h~at transfer medium after use. The central feed passage 6 extends only a short distance within the drum past the feed face 3 terminating at a bulkhead 44. Details of this e:bodiment are provided ~045~;~
below. If desired, the bulkhead 44 could be removed, return pipe 5 could be closed, and support roller 9 could be constructed in a hollow tubular fashion to permit the return fluid to exit through face 2.
The faces 3 and 2, respectively, include support struts 40 which radiate from the central feed passage 6 outwardly to the annular plates 38 and 39, respectively.
These struts, while having other functions to be discussed below, also help to maintain the cylindrical shape of the drum even when it is subjected to considerable external pressure.
The central feed passage 6 contains radial feed openings 37 (Figure 2) connecting it with radially extending feed channels 19 which provide for the distribution of the heat transfer medium outwardly from central feed passage 6.
The support struts 40 may act as one wall of the radial feed channels 19. Preferably, there will be four such radially extending feed channels 19 disposed at approximately 90 with respect to each other and forming spokes for the transmission of the heat transfer medium from the central feed passage 6 outwardly towards the annular flow space 12.
Referring to Figure 4, each radially extending feed channel 19 terminates at an annular feed plenum 22 and communicates with therewith through openings 21. Between the annular feed plenum 22 and the concentric inner shell 11 is an annùlar return plenum 26. To provide for the flow of fresh, hot oil from the annular feed plenum 22 to the annular flow space 12 between the inner and outer shells 11 and 14, respectively, there are provided radial feed distributors 24.

~ ~4~
The radial feed distributors 24 pass through the annular return plenum 26 and are connected at one end to the annular feed plenum 22 through openings 23, and at the opposite end to the concentric inner shell 11 through entrance apertures 25. There is therefore no contact or leakage between fresh hot feed oil passing through these radial feed distributors 24 and oil within the annular return plenum 26 which, as discussed below, has already been used to heat the outer shell 4 and has thus cooled somewhat.
Referring to Figure 5, the entrance aperture 25 in each radial feed distributor 24 permits the passage of heat transfer media into the annular flow space 12 between the inner and outer shells 11 and 14, respectively. The annular flow space 12 is divided into longitudinal arcuate compartments by partitions 30 which extend between inner and outer shells 11 and 4 and from the annular plates 38 and 39. One entrance aperture 25 is provided for passage of heat transfer media into each such longitudinally extending compartment formed by two adjacent longitudinal partitions 30. Between each pair of longitudinal partitions 30 is provided a longitudinally extending baffle 31 which extends between the inner and outer shells, 11 and 4, but only for a portion of the length of the longitudinally extending compartments, and terminates a short distance from the end face 2. Substantially U-shaped flow paths are thereby provided within each longitudinally extending compartment thus permitting the flow of hot heat transfer fluid therethrough as shown by the arrows in Figure 5.
Bach such substantially U-~haped flow path includes an entrance /

- ~04~S8 leg 45 and an exit leg 46, the entrance leg 45 of each such flow path being connected to the radial feed distributor 24 through entrance aperture 25, while the exit leg 46 of each such flow path is connected to the annular return plenum 26 through exit aperture 32.
As can best be seen from Figure 2, the annular return plenum 26 is of a shape substantially the same as the annular feed plenum 22 but is of a size extending longitudinally from the feed face 3 a greater distance than does the annular feed plenum 22. There are provided in the annular return plenum 26 return orifices 27 which communicate with radially extending return channels 20. The return channels 20 are connected to the central feed passage 6 through radial return openings 28. Preferably, there will be four approximately : radially extending retur~ channels 20, again forming spokes radiating from the central feed conduit 6, and they will be disposed at approximately 90 with respect to each other.
Angular disposition of these return channels 20 is preferred in order to assure that each such approximately radially extending return channel 20 is connected to the central feed pas-~age 6 at a point substantially downstream from the radial feed openings 37 which connect with the radially extending feed channels 19.
Within the central feed passage 6 between the radial feed openings 37 and the radial return openings 28 there is provided an internally threaded annular spacer 13 (the threads being designated 14) which receives an externally threaded return pipe 5 to form coaxial return passage for heat transfer media being withdrawn from _~ _ ~4~a3 the drum. All heat transfer media flowing into the annular space between the return pipe 5 and the central feed passage 6 will flow outwardly through the radial openings 37.
The heat transfer medium, upon return, will again enter the central feed passage 6 at a point 17 downstream therefrom, upon passing through the radial return openings 28, and will then be withdrawn through return pipe 5.
The drum is also provided with spaced radially extending struts 18 formed as spokes radiating from the central feed passage 6 to provide additional support for the inner and outer shells of the drum, and to further withstand external pressure exerted thereon.
Referring to Figure 2, heat transfer media entering the drum through the annular space between central feed passage 6 and return pipe 5 will flow through the annular flow space 12 formed between the inner and outer shells, 11 and 4, respectively, in a manner so as to achieve substan-: tially uniform heating of the external or outer shell 4.
That is, the fresh, hot, heat transfer medium will pass through the annular space formed in the central, coaxialfeed passage 6 by the return pipe 5, and enter the drum 1. All of this fresh, hot oil will then pass through four radial feed openings 37 extending through the central feed passage 6 into radially extending feed channels 19 and then through openings 21 into annular feed plenum 22.
The fre~h heat transfer medium passing through openings 21 is then distributed to each substantially U-shaped flow path in the annular flow space 12 formed between inner and outer shells 11 and 4, respectively, by passing through ~04~o openings 23, radial feed distributors 24, and entrance apertures 25 into the annular flow space 12. The hot oil passing through each entrance aperture 25 will then travel through a substantially U-shaped flow path between the inner and outer shells formed by longitudinally extending partitions 30 and baffles 31. After traveling through such a flow path from the feed face 3 along the periphery of the drum along entrance leg 45 to the return face 2, around the baffle 31, and similarly along return leg 46, back to the feed face
3, the oil will then pass through exit aperture 32. The oil entering each substantially U-shaped flow path through successive entrance apertures 25 will thus be fresh, hot oil, and no oil will travel through more than one such substantially U-shaped flow path prior to returning through exit apertures 32, for withdrawal or return. In addition, since the oil exits at the same side of the drum as it enters, the average temperature along the length of each compartment will be substantially uniform.
The return of the heat transfer media will then be accomplished by its flow through exit apertures 32 into the annular return plenum 26. The oil in the annular return plenum, while still relatively hot, will be cooler than the fresh, hot oil passing through the radial feed distributors 24, which extend through the annular return plenum 26.
The cooling of the fresh, hot oil is thus kept to an absolute minimum, only a small degree of heat transfer occurring through the walls of these relatively short radial feed di~tributors 24. The heat trànsfer medium then passes 1~42658 through openings 27 into each angularly radially extending return channel 20, and through radial return openings 28, into central feed passage 6, at a point 17 downstream, with respect to the feed face 3, from the threaded annular spacer 13. The heat transfer medium or hot oil, now som~what oooled will then flow through return pipe 5, prevented from further flow longitud-inally through the drum by the presence of bulkhead 44, for withdrawal from .
the drum, to be either discarded, used for other purposes, or reheated and recirculated through the drum.
