Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide a heat exchanger for dehumidifying compressed air which can strengthen the degree of dryness of compressed air by cooling and dehumidifying the air beyond the capacity of a cooler installed without enlarging an apparatus and making constitution complex. CONSTITUTION: In a heat exchanger for dehumidifying compressed air in which in a pressure container 2 having an inlet and an outlet 3b, a cooler 16 is placed and baffle plates 17,... are installed to form an air cooling channel snaking from an inflow port 15a to an outflow port 15b, one baffle plate 17a near the outflow port of the air cooling channel is installed protrudingly toward the wall surface in the air channel to form a contraction port S which makes the area of a compressed air passing clearance narrower than those of other passing clearances. In this way, the temperature of compressed air is lowered by adiabatic expansion when the air passes through the contraction port to be cooled and dehumidified.

On the other hand, in the latter publication, as a dehumidifying heat exchanger corresponding to the cooling chamber, an evaporator of a refrigerator and heat transfer fins are housed in an air flow path, and a passage forming plate (baffle plate) is used as air. By alternately extending from the inner peripheral surface of the flow path toward the evaporator, a series of meandering flow paths are formed in the heat exchanger, and the passage forming plate on the most outlet side is located below the inner peripheral surface of the air flow path. It is formed so as to extend upward from the air flow direction and separates the direction of the air flow from the down flow direction of the drain, so that condensed water is prevented from being entrained in the air flow and being transferred into the supply air, thereby improving the dryness. A device is disclosed.

The first gist of the present invention is to provide an air cooling flow path in which a cooler (evaporator) of a refrigerator is housed in an air flow path inside a pressure vessel having an inlet and an outlet for compressed air. In the heat exchanger for compressed air dehumidification provided, a throttle opening for narrowing the air cooling passage is formed by an airflow blocking plate provided in the middle of the air cooling passage so as to block the flow of compressed air. It is a characteristic heat exchanger for dehumidifying compressed air. The airflow restricting port provided by the airflow blocking plate may be formed by a gap between the inner wall surface of the air cooling channel and the edge of the airflow blocking plate, or by an opening formed in the airflow blocking plate. It may have been done.

As the compressed air flows down through the air cooling flow path, the temperature of the compressed air gradually decreases in proportion to the stroke of the compressed air and reaches the throttle port while discharging moisture as dew condensation to the cooler. Then, when passing through the throttle opening, the internal energy of the compressed air itself is consumed by being slightly decompressed and adiabatically expanded, and the temperature of the compressed air sharply drops. As a result, the dew point of the compressed air is further lowered, and the generated condensed water is condensed on the surface of the cooler left by the time it reaches the outlet and is removed as drain.

A second aspect of the present invention is to store a cooler by a refrigerator in an air flow passage in a pressure vessel having an inlet and an outlet for compressed air, and to supply the air flow from an inner wall surface surrounding the air flow passage. A heat exchange for decompressing compressed air, which is formed by alternately extending a plurality of baffle plates in a direction traversing a path to form an air cooling flow path meandering from an inlet to an outlet of the air flow path. In the container, the area of one passage gap located near the outlet side of the air cooling passage out of the passage gaps of the plurality of compressed air formed between the plurality of baffle plates and the inner wall surface of the air passage. The heat exchanger for dehumidifying compressed air is characterized in that it has a throttle port formed by narrowing the area of other passage gaps.

The heat exchanger according to the present invention is provided, instead of the airflow blocking plate used in the first aspect, for extending the contact stroke between the cooler and the compressed air for the purpose of improving the heat exchange efficiency. Among the baffle plates, an arbitrary one provided near the outlet of the air cooling channel is used to reduce the area of the gap between the baffle plate and the inner wall surface of the air cooling channel to reduce the aperture. Is formed. Therefore, since no special member is required and one baffle plate can be attached to a slightly larger size, almost no new load is required in manufacturing, and the dryness of the obtained compressed air is improved. The effect is tremendous.

In the present invention, it is desirable that the throttle opening is provided at a position where a slight air cooling region is left between the throttle opening and the outlet. This is because if the throttle port also serves as the outlet of the air cooling flow path or is very close to the outlet and no air cooling region (in other words, contact region with the cooler) is left, This is because the condensed water generated has a very small chance of being captured as drain, and most of the condensed water may be transferred to the supply air side together with the airflow. Further, when the throttle opening is provided at a position close to the inlet of the air cooling flow path, the compressed air at that position is still at a high temperature far from the reaching limit based on the cooler capacity. The cooling effect beyond the capacity of the vessel cannot be expected.

Therefore, in the case of the heat exchanger defined in the second aspect, the baffle plate is provided at a position leaving an air cooling region between the heat exchanger and the heat exchanger, and is most close to the outlet. The cooling effect is highest when the aperture is formed by the gap between the baffle plate located close to the inner wall of the air cooling channel. The area of the throttle opening is also related to the pressure loss, so it is difficult to unconditionally define it. However, in the experiment by the inventor of the present application, the flow velocity of the compressed air passing through the air cooling passage is approximately 7 to 10 m / s. , The effective area of the aperture is 20 ~
When the width was narrowed by 50%, the flow velocity passing through the restrictor increased by 25 to 100% as compared with the average flow velocity of other portions, and the maximum dew point temperature decrease was about 2 ° C.

If the area of the throttle opening is set to an area in the range of about 80 to 50% of the effective passage sectional area of the other part of the air cooling flow passage, the source pressure of the compressed air pressure source is not increased,
In a heat exchanger for compressed air dehumidification with equivalent capacity specifications,
A dew point temperature drop of 1.5-2 ° C can be generated. However, the rate of decrease in temperature and the degree of narrowing of the area of the throttle opening are not necessarily proportional, but differ depending on the shape of the heat exchanger, the specifications, the shape of the throttle opening, the position, etc. There is no end. Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail.

It is supplied from the outlet 3b as dry compressed air.

[Effect] The heat exchanger of the present application adiabatically expands the compressed air by utilizing the pressure of the compressed air in a very small amount that hardly affects the supply pressure, and causes the temperature of the compressed air to decrease. As a device for achieving this, the object can be sufficiently achieved by providing the baffle plate by slightly extending it. Therefore, the capacity of the compressed air dehumidifying heat exchanger has been further improved without increasing the size of the apparatus and increasing the cost. This means that at the same time, the conventional compressed air dehumidifying device can be realized by the refrigerator having the capacity specification one step lower than that of the conventional one, which has a significant cost reduction effect and miniaturization effect.
