Definitions

  • the invention relates to a conversion kit for a cylinder housing having a tube bundle heat exchanger.
  • Tube bundle heat exchangers are frequently used in industrial process plants.
  • a shell-and-tube heat exchanger usually consists of an outer shell and an inner shell and an inner shell, i. arranged in the housing, tube bundle. Between these two separate rooms, the exchange of process heat takes place. The heat from a first hot heat transfer medium is absorbed by a second heat transfer medium to be heated, whereby the energy transfer is realized.
  • Tube bundle heat exchangers are very stable and therefore also suitable for use in applications with high pressures, for example in hydrogenation plants, in which a pressure of over 300 bar can prevail. The pressure differences occurring in these applications between the heat transfer medium flowing in the housing and the second heat transfer medium flowing in the tubes, so far only allowed the use of Rohrbündel Anlagen (2004).
  • a disadvantage of tube bundle heat exchangers is that due to the laminar flow in the tubes and the relatively large wall thickness of the tubes, this can be 2 to 3 mm, only low heat transfer coefficients and thus a low efficiency of the tube bundle heat exchanger can be achieved. Therefore, large heat exchange surfaces are needed, whereby the shell and tube heat exchangers are relatively large and heavy and thus also very expensive. In addition, due to incomplete heat transfer from the hot heat transfer medium to the heat transfer medium to be heated, the energy costs of the plants increase.
  • the conversion kit has at least one plate heat exchanger unit for replacing the tube bundle unit, which comprises at least the following components: a plate pack having at least two heat exchanger plates, each having at least one through hole and welded together in pairs along its circumference or along the circumference of the through holes, two holding plates, each having at least one through hole, each one of the holding plates arranged at each end of the plate pack and with the respective outermost heat exchanger plate of the plate pack is connected, and at least one traction means which extends in the longitudinal direction between the holding plates and is connected to two holding plates, so that the two holding plates and the traction means form a cage around the plate pack, which in the operating state of the plate heat exchanger unit occurring in the plate pack forces, wherein the outer diameter of the plate heat exchanger unit is adapted to the inner diameter of the cylindrical housing of the tube bundle heat exchanger and trained the traction device as a flow direction sensor plate et, which extends around at least part of the circumference of the plate pack.
  • the plate heat exchange unit can absorb the forces acting during operation of the heat exchanger by the cage construction of the two holding plates and the traction means arranged between them, which is designed as a flow direction sensor plate. As a result, a pressing apart of the heat exchanger plates of the plate pack is avoided when pressurized. Therefore, the plate heat exchanger unit can be used as such in existing shell and tube heat exchanger housing replace the usual tube bundles. The pressure jacket of conventional plate heat exchanger, which usually absorbs the forces occurring, is therefore no longer needed. As a result, a simple installation of the plate heat exchanger unit in the existing housing of the tube bundle heat exchanger is possible.
  • the modified tube bundle heat exchanger thus enables improved heat transfer, since with the help of the heat exchanger plates, a larger exchange surface is achieved and due to the smaller wall thickness of the heat exchanger plates, this is usually 0.6 to 1 mm, improved heat transfer is possible. This also makes it possible to save on the energy costs of the system.
  • a variation of the heat transfer surface of the existing heat exchanger is further possible by the diameter of the heat exchanger plates used and the number of heat exchanger plates used are selected accordingly. As a result, an enlargement, a reduction or a constant heat transfer surface compared to the originally existing shell and tube heat exchanger is possible. Due to the special design of the traction means as flow direction sensor plate, the traction means have a dual function.
  • the plate heat exchanger unit has only a few components and can be manufactured relatively easily.
  • This plate heat exchanger comprises a plate pack, which is inserted into a pressure-stable housing, wherein the plate pack and the housing are adapted to each other.
  • the plate pack has interconnected heat exchanger plates and is bounded on both sides by package clamping plates.
  • the plate pack is braced by at least four clamping bolts, which extend between the package clamping plates and are welded to them.
  • the side plates On two sides of the plate pack side plates are mounted, which bear against the circumference of the plate pack and at their ends have U-shaped angled portions, which bear sealingly against the inner diameter of the housing, so that the shell-side heat transfer medium does not flow laterally between the housing and plate pack can, but must flow between the heat exchanger plates.
  • the side plates In order to allow the insertion of the plate pack in the housing, the side plates must not be made too thick, so that the bends can yield. If the plate pack is inserted into the housing, the bends between the plate pack and the housing are braced and sealed. Due to the small thickness, the side plates can absorb no forces, but have only a flow guiding and sealing function. As already stated, the height of the operating pressure is not defined. However, it can be assumed that the side plates in high-pressure applications with a pressure of over 250 bar, as is the case for example in hydrogenation plants, deform and can no longer fulfill the Strömungsleitauf inter.
  • the holding plates are substantially circular and each have at its edge a recess for the flow guidance of a flowing through the housing of the tube bundle heat exchanger, ie a housing-side heat transfer medium.
  • a housing-side heat transfer medium Through the recess in the retaining plates, the flow of the housing-side heat transfer medium steered in the desired direction.
  • the heat exchanger is designed to be suitable, then the recesses of the two holding plates of a plate heat exchanger unit are arranged on opposite sides of the plate pack, so that the housing-side heat transfer medium flows in on one side next to the heat exchanger plates, must flow through the plate pack and flows out again on the opposite side. But it is also possible a different flow guidance, in particular a multi-flow control is conceivable.
  • the recess at the edge of the retaining plates is ring-segment-shaped. This allows a very simple design of the holding plates.
  • the ring-segment-shaped recess in each holding plate an angle of about 90 °. This results in an opening angle of 90 °, through which the jacket or housing-side heat transfer medium flows into the plate pack, which is well suited for many applications.
  • the outer diameter of the holding plates is greater than the outer diameter of the heat exchanger plates of the plate package and corresponds approximately to the inner diameter of the housing of the tube bundle heat exchanger.
  • the holding plates bear against the inside of the housing with the major part of their circumference.
  • a flow path for the housing-side heat transfer medium is formed. Since the diameter of the holding plates approximately corresponds to the inner diameter of the housing, the heat exchanger plate unit can be easily inserted into the existing housing. It is a good centering of the plate heat exchanger unit in the housing possible.
  • a sealing effect is achieved between the holding plates and the housing, so that the housing-side heat transfer medium flows mainly through the recesses of the holding plates and thus the desired flow guidance is achieved.
  • the center axis of the at least one through hole in each holding plate is inclined and forms an angle with the center axis of the corresponding holding plate, so that the opening of the through hole on the inside of the holding plate is arranged closer to the edge of the holding plate as the opening of the through hole on the outside of the sheath teplatte. It is thereby achieved that there is more space on the outside of each retaining plate for connection to another plate unit or to the already existing connections for the tube bundle heat exchanger.
  • an inner side of the at least one flow direction sensor plate bears against the outer diameter of the plate pack and terminates an outer side of the at least one flow direction indicator plate with the outer diameter of the holding plates.
  • the at least one flow direction sensor plate is thus formed so that it fills the space between the plate pack and the inside of the housing so that it blocks a by-pass flow laterally past the plate pack.

  • each support plate on the inside of each support plate, a support plate is arranged and each support plate is connected by means of the support plate with the outermost heat exchanger plate of the plate package.

La présente invention concerne un jeu d'adaptation pour un échangeur de chaleur à faisceau tubulaire comportant un boîtier cylindrique. Ce jeu d'adaptation doit permettre d'adapter les échangeurs de chaleur à faisceau tubulaire existants de manière à améliorer le rendement, et ainsi la transmission de chaleur, à disposer de surfaces d'échange étendues et à abaisser les coûts énergétiques. Par ailleurs, il doit également être possible d'utiliser le jeu d'adaptation dans le domaine de la haute pression pour des pressions dépassant 300 bars. A cet effet, il est prévu, selon l'invention, que le jeu d'adaptation comporte au moins une unité d'échange de chaleur à plaques destinée à remplacer l'unité à faisceau tubulaire et comprenant au moins les éléments suivants : un ensemble de plaques comportant au moins deux plaques d'échange de chaleur qui présentent chacune au moins un trou traversant et qui sont soudées par paires le long de leur circonférence ou le long de la circonférence des trous traversants ; deux plaques de maintien comportant chacune au moins un trou traversant, l'une des plaques de maintien étant disposée sur chaque extrémité de l'ensemble de plaques et rattachée à la plaque d'échange de chaleur la plus externe de l'ensemble de plaques ; et au moins un moyen de traction qui s'étend entre les plaques de maintien dans le sens longitudinal et est rattaché aux deux plaques de maintien de telle sorte que les deux plaques de maintien et le moyen de traction forment une cage autour de l'ensemble de plaques, la cage absorbant les forces apparaissant dans l'ensemble de plaques lorsque l'unité d'échange de chaleur à plaques est en fonctionnement, le diamètre externe de l'unité d'échange de chaleur à plaques étant adapté au diamètre interne du boîtier cylindrique de l'échangeur de chaleur à faisceau tubulaire et le moyen de traction étant réalisé sous la forme d'une plaque métallique d'indication de sens d'écoulement qui s'étend autour d'au moins une partie de la circonférence de l'ensemble de plaques.
