Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Plattenwärmetauscher in asymmetrischer Ausführung.The invention relates to a plate heat exchanger in asymmetric design.

Hintergrundbackground

Plattenwärmetauscher oder -übertrager verfügen üblicherweise über einen Stapel von Wärmeübertragungsplatten, die zwischen einer oder mehreren Begrenzungsplatten angeordnet sind, derart, dass zwischen den Wärmeübertragungsplatten in dem Stapel gegeneinander abgeschlossene Durchgänge für Wärmetauscherfluide gebildet sind. Die Durchflusskanäle bereitstellenden Durchgänge stehen mit Anschlüssen in Verbindung, über die im Betrieb Wärmetauscherfluide zugeführt und abgeführt werden. Zwischen den den Plattenwärmetauscher im Betrieb durchströmenden Wärmetauscherfluide wird über die Wärmeübertragungsplatten Wärmeenergie übertragen zum Kühlen und / oder Erwärmen.Plate heat exchangers or transporters typically have a stack of heat transfer plates disposed between one or more restriction plates such that passageways for heat exchange fluids are formed between the heat transfer plates in the stack. The passageways providing passages communicate with ports through which heat exchange fluids are supplied and removed during operation. Between the heat exchanger fluids flowing through the plate heat exchanger in operation, heat energy is transferred via the heat transfer plates for cooling and / or heating.

Zum Ausbilden der Durchgänge im Stapel von Wärmeübertragungsplatten verfügen die Platten über eine jeweilige Profilierung. Hierbei können mäandrierende Strukturen vorgesehen sein. Auch wurde vorgeschlagen, eine Profilierung mit Pyramidenstümpfen vorzusehen (vgl. J. Enhanced Heat Transfer, 9:171-179, 2002 ). Mit Hilfe der Pyramidenstümpfe wurden bei spezieller Plattenanordnung konkav und konvex geformte Strömungsabschnitte in dem Stapel von Wärmeübertragungsplatten erzeugt. Die mittels gleichartiger Struktur aller Pyramidenstümpfe auf den gestapelten Platten hergestellten Durchgänge für die Wärmetauscherfluide sind für jeweils gleiche Volumenströme ausgeführt. Sie verfügen über den jeweils gleichen Rauminhalt und weisen dieselbe Durchströmquerschnittsfläche auf.To form the passages in the stack of heat transfer plates, the plates have a respective profiling. Here, meandering structures can be provided. It has also been proposed to provide a profiling with truncated pyramids (cf. J. Enhanced Heat Transfer, 9: 171-179, 2002 ). With the help of the truncated pyramids concave and convex shaped flow sections were produced in the stack of heat transfer plates with special plate assembly. The passages for the heat exchanger fluids produced on the stacked plates by means of a similar structure of all the truncated pyramids are designed for the same volume flows in each case. They each have the same volume and have the same flow area.

Plattenwärmetauscher in asymmetrischer Ausführung oder Bauweise sehen im Unterschied zu solchen symmetrischen Plattenwärmetauschern Durchgänge in dem Stapel von Wärmeübertragungsplatten vor, die sich durch unterschiedliche Volumen- oder Massenströme der den Plattenwärmetauscher durchströmende Wärmetauscherfluide unterscheiden. Unterschiedliche Volumina der Durchgänge sind insbesondere mittels sich unterscheidender Durchströmquerschnitte herstellbar. Bei den Plattenwärmetauschern in symmetrischer Ausführung sind die Durchgänge demgegenüber konfiguriert, gleiche Volumen- oder Massenströme der Wärmetauscherfluide zuzulassen, weshalb die Durchgänge üblicherweise einen einheitlichen Durchströmquerschnitt aufweisen. Asymmetrische Durchgänge mit unterschiedlichen Volumenströmen können beispielsweise dadurch realisiert werden, dass die Durchgänge quer zur Strömung unterschiedliche Durchgangsflächen aufweisen. Plattenwärmetauscher in asymmetrischer Ausführung sind besonders geeignet, unterschiedlichen Anwendungsbedingungen beim Einsatz der Plattenwärmetauscher gerecht zu werden, insbesondere dadurch, dass sich die Volumen- oder Massenströme in den Durchgängen deutlich unterscheiden.In contrast to such symmetrical plate heat exchangers, plate heat exchangers in asymmetric design or construction provide passages in the stack of heat transfer plates which differ in the different volume or mass flows of the heat exchange fluids flowing through the plate heat exchanger. Different volumes of the passages can be produced in particular by means of differing flow cross sections. In contrast, in the plate heat exchangers in symmetrical design, the passages are configured to allow the same volume or mass flows of the heat exchanger fluids, which is why the passages usually have a uniform flow cross-section exhibit. Asymmetrical passages with different volume flows can be realized, for example, in that the passages have different passage areas transversely to the flow. Plate heat exchangers in asymmetric design are particularly suitable to meet different application conditions when using the plate heat exchangers, in particular the fact that the volume or mass flows differ significantly in the passages.

Die gestapelten Wärmeübertragungsplatten weisen Hauptvorsprünge auf, die als Kegelstümpfe ausgebildet sind. Zwischen benachbarten Hauptvorsprüngen können Zwischenvorsprünge angeordnet sein.From the document EP 1 684 044 A2 a plate heat exchanger in asymmetric design is known.

Die Wärmeübertragungsplatten weisen jeweils eine Profilierung auf, die mit einer Anordnung von aus der Plattenebene hervorstehenden Pyramidenstümpfen und hierzwischen in der Plattenebene angeordneten Basisabschnitten gebildet ist. Die Basisabschnitte umfassen den Bereich zwischen den aus der Plattenebene hervorstehenden Pyramidenstümpfen, welche ihrerseits aufgrund ihrer Stumpfausbildung auf der gegenüber der Wärmeübertragungsplatte distalen Seite ein Plateau oder eine Deckfläche aufweisen. Die Durchflusskanäle bildenden Durchgänge in dem Stapel von Wärmeübertragungsplatten sind asymmetrisch ausgeführt, nämlich unterschiedliche Volumen- oder Massenströme zulassend. Bei benachbarten Wärmeübertragungsplatten sind in dem Stapel von Wärmeübertragungsplatten die Basisabschnitte einer oberen Wärmeübertragungsplatte auf den Pyramidenstümpfen einer darunterliegenden Wärmeübertragungsplatte angeordnet, vorzugsweise im Bereich der Deckfläche der Pyramidenstümpfe, wobei eine teilweise oder vollständige Überlappung der Basisabschnitte mit den zugeordneten Pyramidenstümpfen vorgesehen sein kann.In one aspect, there is provided an asymmetric or plate type plate heat exchanger which includes a stack of heat transfer plates with passageways for heat exchange fluids sealed together in the stack. The heat transfer plates each have a profiling, with an array of projecting from the plane of the truncated pyramidal stumps and in between in the plane of the plate arranged base portions is formed. The base portions comprise the area between the pyramidal stumps protruding from the plane of the plate, which in turn have a plateau or a top surface due to their stump formation on the side opposite the heat transfer plate. The passageways forming passages in the stack of heat transfer plates are made asymmetrical, allowing for different volume or mass flows. In adjacent heat transfer plates, in the stack of heat transfer plates, the base sections of an upper heat transfer plate are disposed on the truncated pyramids of an underlying heat transfer plate, preferably in the region of the top surface of the truncated pyramids. wherein a partial or complete overlap of the base sections may be provided with the associated truncated pyramids.

Der Begriff Pyramidenstumpf in der hier verwendeten Form umfasst stumpfartige Strukturen mit beliebiger Grundfläche, wozu insbesondere auch runde, eckige, ovale oder kreisförmige Grundflächen gehören. Derartige Strukturen werden auch als Kegelstumpf bezeichnet.The term truncated pyramid in the form used here includes stump-like structures with any desired surface area, including, in particular, round, angular, oval or circular bases. Such structures are also referred to as truncated cone.

Das Vorsehen der Profilierung mit den Pyramidenstümpfen und hierzwischen angeordneten Basisabschnitten sowie deren Anordnung, derart, dass die Basisabschnitte der oberen Wärmeübertragungsplatte auf den Pyramidenstümpfen der darunterliegenden Wärmeübertragungsplatte angeordnet sind, ermöglicht eine flexible und vielgestaltige Ausbildung asymmetrischer Durchgänge in dem Stapel von Wärmeübertragungsplatten. Flexibel kann so auf unterschiedliche Einsatzanforderungen für den jeweiligen Plattenwärmetauscher reagiert werden.The provision of the profiling with the truncated pyramidal stumps and base portions therebetween, as well as their arrangement such that the base portions of the upper heat transfer plate are disposed on the truncated pyramids of the underlying heat transfer plate, enables flexible and multi-faceted formation of asymmetrical passages in the stack of heat transfer plates. In this way, it is possible to react flexibly to different application requirements for the respective plate heat exchanger.

Es können alle Pyramidenstümpfe einer Wärmeübertragungsplatte mit einer oder mehreren konkaven Seitenflächen gebildet sein.The profiling comprises truncated pyramids with one or more concave side surfaces. The side surfaces of the truncated pyramid concern the wall sections of the respective truncated structure, which extends from the plane of the plate of the heat transfer plate to the plateau or to the top surface of the truncated pyramid.

Es können alle Pyramidenstümpfe einer Wärmeübertragungsplatte mit einer oder mehreren konvexen Seitenflächen gebildet sein. Eine konkave Seitenfläche einer Wärmeübertragungsplatte und eine konvexe Seitenflächen einer hierzu benachbarten Wärmeübertragungsplatte (gegenüberliegende Platte) sind zur Ausbildung eines asymmetrischen Durchgangs einander gegenüberliegend angeordnet.The profiling comprises truncated pyramids with one or more convex side surfaces. In an efficient manner, asymmetric passages are made in the stack of heat transfer plates by alternately stacking heat transfer plates in which plates with truncated pyramids with concave side surfaces and plates with truncated pyramids with convex side surfaces alternate.

Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a stack of heat transfer plates 1 for a plate heat exchanger or transformer, which are provided with a profiling 2, such that truncated pyramids 3 protrude from a plane of the plate 4. Base sections 5 run in the plane of the plate 4 between the truncated pyramids 3. Breakthroughs 6 serve in the stack of heat transfer plates 1 in forming a plate heat exchanger for connecting a line system, via which heat exchange fluids are supplied and removed.

Bei der gezeigten Ausführungsform ist die Profilierung 2 mit einer regelmäßigen Anordnung der Pyramidenstümpfe 3 gebildet. In dem dargestellten Beispiel sind zumindest die Pyramidenstümpfe 3 der im Stapel oben angeordneten Wärmeübertragungsplatte gleichartig ausgeführt.In the embodiment shown, the profiling 2 is formed with a regular arrangement of the truncated pyramids 3. In the example shown, at least the truncated pyramids 3 of the heat transfer plate arranged at the top of the stack are of similar design.

In dem Stapel von Wärmeübertragungsplatten 1 sind zueinander benachbart angeordnete Wärmeübertragungsplatten zueinander um 180° gedreht, sodass die Basisabschnitte 5 einer oberen Wärmeübertragungsplatte auf den Pyramidenstümpfen 3 der darunter befindlichen Wärmeübertragungsplatte angeordnet sind. Dieses zeigt schematisch Fig. 2, in welcher die Pyramidenstümpfe 3 für zwei übereinander angeordnete Wärmeübertragungsplatten gezeigt sind.In the stack of heat transfer plates 1, mutually adjacently arranged heat transfer plates are mutually rotated by 180 °, so that the base portions 5 of an upper heat transfer plate are disposed on the truncated pyramids 3 of the heat transfer plate located thereunder. This shows schematically Fig. 2 in which the truncated pyramids 3 are shown for two heat transfer plates arranged one above the other.

Es kann nun vorgesehen sein, dass die Pyramidenstümpfe 3 über konvexe oder konkave Seitenflächen 7, 8 verfügen, wie dies die perspektivischen Darstellungen eines jeweiligen Pyramidenstumpfes in den Fig. 3 und 4 zeigen. Die konvexen und die konkaven Seitenflächen 7, 8 erstrecken sich vom Boden 9a zur Deckfläche (Plateau) 9b des Pyramidenstumpfes 3.It can now be provided that the truncated pyramids 3 have convex or concave side surfaces 7, 8, as shown in the perspective views of a respective truncated pyramid in the 3 and 4 demonstrate. The convex and concave side surfaces 7, 8 extend from the bottom 9 a to the top surface (plateau) 9 b of the truncated pyramid 3.

Bei Verwendung derartiger Profilierungen mit Pyramidenstümpfen 3 mit konkaver und konvexer Seitenflächenausbildung 7, 8 können asymmetrische Durchgänge in dem Stapel von Wärmeübertragungsplatten 1 hergestellt werden, wie sie beispielhaft die schematische Darstellung in Fig. 5 zeigt. Dort ist auf einer unteren Wärmeübertragungsplatte 10 mit konvexen Pyramidenstümpfen 10a eine Wärmeübertragungsplatte 11 mit konkaven Pyramidenstümpfen 11a angeordnet. Hierauf folgt dann wieder eine Wärmeübertragungsplatte 12 mit konvexen Pyramidenstümpfen 12a, worauf eine Wärmeübertragungsplatte 13 mit konkaven Pyramidenstümpfen 13a folgt. Hierauf sind dann in dem gezeigten Beispiel schließlich zwei weitere Wärmeübertragungsplatten 14, 15 angeordnet, die über konvexe und konkave Pyramidenstümpfe 14a, 15a verfügen. Es entstehen so größere und kleinere Kanäle 16, 17, die aufgrund der asymmetrischen Ausbildung einen optimierten Betrieb erlauben, insbesondere bei unterschiedlichen Massen- oder Volumenstrom der Wärmetauscherfluide.When using such profiles with truncated pyramids 3 with concave and convex side surface formation 7, 8 asymmetric passages can be made in the stack of heat transfer plates 1, as exemplified by the schematic representation in FIG Fig. 5 shows. There, a heat transfer plate 11 with concave truncated pyramids 11a is arranged on a lower heat transfer plate 10 with convex truncated pyramids 10a. This is then followed again by a heat transfer plate 12 with convex truncated pyramids 12a, followed by a heat transfer plate 13 with concave truncated pyramids 13a. Then, in the example shown, two further heat transfer plates 14, 15 are then arranged, which have convex and concave truncated pyramids 14a, 15a. This results in larger and smaller channels 16, 17, which allow an optimized operation due to the asymmetric design, especially at different mass or mass flow of the heat exchanger fluids.

Unabhängig von den vorgenannten Ausführungsbeispielen kann vorgesehen sein, ein Profilierung mit unterschiedlichen Formen von Pyramidenstümpfen auf ein und derselben Wärmeübertragungsplatte 1 zu nutzen, um insbesondere Einström- und / oder Verteilbereiche der Durchgangskanäle in dem Stapel von Wärmeübertragungsplatten so zu gestalten, dass eine möglichst gleichmäßige Strömungsverteilung im Durchgang erreicht wird, insbesondere um die wärmeübertragenden Flächen im Stapel von Wärmeübertragungsplatten 1 optimiert zu nutzen.Regardless of the aforementioned embodiments can be provided to use a profiling with different shapes of truncated pyramids on the same heat transfer plate 1, in particular to make inflow and / or distribution areas of the passageways in the stack of heat transfer plates so that a uniform flow distribution as possible Passage is achieved, in particular to use the heat transfer surfaces in the stack of heat transfer plates 1 optimized.

Auch kann vorgesehen sein, auf einer Wärmeübertragungsplatte 1 einen oder mehrere Profilierungsbereiche mit Pyramidenstümpfen gleicher oder unterschiedlicher Form und einen oder mehrere andere Profilierungsbereiche zu nutzen, in denen maänderförmige oder fischgrätenförmige Profilierungen gebildet sind. Die Kombination der unterschiedlichen Profilierungen ermöglicht es zum Beispiel, in Einström- und / oder Verteilbereichen der Durchgänge in dem Stapel von Wärmeübertragungsplatten eine möglichst gleichmäßige Strömungsverteilung im Durchgang auszubilden. Auf diese Weise können die wärmeübertragenden Flächen im Stapel von Wärmeübertragungsplatten 1 optimiert genutzt werden.It can also be provided to use on a heat transfer plate 1 one or more profiling areas with truncated pyramids of the same or different shape and one or more other profiling areas in which maander-shaped or fishbone-shaped profilings are formed. The combination of the different profilings makes it possible, for example, to form as uniform as possible a flow distribution in the passage in the inflow and / or distribution regions of the passages in the stack of heat transfer plates. In this way, the heat transfer surfaces in the stack of heat transfer plates 1 can be used optimally.

Die in der vorstehenden Beschreibung, den Ansprüchen und der Zeichnung offenbarten Merkmale der Erfindung können sowohl einzeln als auch in beliebiger Kombination für die Verwirklichung der Erfindung in ihren verschiedenen Ausführungen von Bedeutung sein.The features of the invention disclosed in the above description, the claims and the drawings may be of importance both individually and in any combination for the realization of the invention in its various embodiments.
