Definitions
- the invention pertains generally to the field of hydraulics and fluid handling. More particularly, the invention relates to a hydraulic system and method for handling fluids that are used in heat exchangers. More particularly, the invention pertains to a system for circulating heat exchange fluid between two heat exchange devices, where one device is an atmospheric heating or cooling tower.
- Heat exchangers are in wide use in industry. Many of these heat exchangers involve some form of circulating fluid.
- the fluid may be water, water treated with chemicals, or some other liquid.
- the words “water” and “fluid” are used interchangeably in this specification.
- One type of heat exchanger is an atmospheric cooling tower.
- Such cooling towers are traditionally used in industrial applications to cool fluid that is supplied to the tower at a relatively warm temperature, i. e., above an ambient temperature, down to a relatively cooler temperature closer to the ambient temperature.
- Cooling towers in some cases involve the spraying of the warm fluid from the top of the tower, sometimes over a fill medium, and also in some instances using a fan to force air through the tower so that the water falls through the tower, contacting the fill medium and the air and falls into a collection basin at the bottom of the tower.
- As the warm fluid falls through the tower it will generally be cooled to a cooler temperature.
- These are called open loop cooling towers because the fluid being cooled contacts the air.
- a cooling tower type structure it is also possible to operate a cooling tower type structure to be a heating tower.
- the fluid is supplied to the tower starting at a temperature cooler than the ambient air temperature, the supply of the cool fluid into the top of the tower will result in a warming of the fluid so that the fluid collected at the basin at the bottom of the tower is warmer than when it entered the tower.
- An open rack vaporizer is essentially a large water tank having a closed coil submerged in the tank.
- the LNG is passed through the closed coils.
- Water is drawn from a relatively warm external source, such as sea water, and is circulated into and through the tank.
- the LNG is warmed by the vaporization coil being in contact with the warm sea water.
- the water becomes cooled by contact with the vaporization coils and then is discharged, usually back into the sea.
- Another type of LNG evaporator is a shell and tube arrangement with the LNG in tubes that have a shell surrounding the tubes having warmer water passed through it.
- SCV submerged combustion vaporizer
- An SCV is similar to an open rack vaporizer in that it is essentially a tank of water having the vaporization coils submerged therein. However, rather than circulating any water into and out of the tank in an SCV, heat is continually added by means of a gas fired burner submerged in the tank.
- the details of SCVs can vary, but in general the gas fired burner is operated so as to add heat into the water tank at substantially the same rate at which heat is being drawn out from the water by the vaporization coil.
- the amount of heat added by the submerged burner can be relatively steady, controlled by modulating the gas burn rate and using the water as a temperature change buffer.
- the water in the SCV is generally self-contained, there is some water produced in the combustion process and condensed out of the hot gas stream. It is removed to prevent flooding the burner, usually by an overflow outlet port.
- the invention in one aspect pertains to a fluid handling system, comprising a first heat exchange device having a first fluid inlet and a first fluid outlet; a second heat exchange device having a second fluid inlet and a second fluid outlet; a first conduit connected to the first fluid outlet to the second fluid inlet; a first reservoir that receives fluid from the first fluid outlet; a second reservoir that receives fluid from the second fluid outlet; a second conduit connected to the second reservoir to the first fluid inlet; and a third, fluid equalization, conduit connected to the first reservoir to the second reservoir and equalizes the fluid levels in the first and second reservoirs with each other, further comprising a weir in fluid communication with the second fluid outlet, wherein the weir is disposed between the second fluid outlet and the second reservoir so the second reservoir receives fluid from the weir.
- the second heat exchange device comprises a liquefied natural gas (LNG) vaporizer.
- Another aspect of the invention pertains to a fluid handling system, comprising an atmospheric heating tower having a first fluid inlet and a first fluid outlet; a submerged combustion vaporizer (SCV) having a second fluid inlet and a second fluid outlet; first means for connecting the first fluid outlet to the second fluid inlet; and second means for the second fluid outlet to the first fluid inlet.
- SCV submerged combustion vaporizer
- Yet another aspect of the invention pertains to a fluid handling method, providing a first heat exchange device having a first fluid inlet and a first fluid outlet, a second heat exchange device having a second fluid inlet and a second fluid outlet, a first conduit connected to the first fluid outlet to the second fluid inlet, a first reservoir that receives fluid from the first fluid outlet, a second reservoir that receives fluid from the second fluid outlet, a second conduit that connects the second reservoir to the first fluid inlet, and equalizes the fluid levels in the first and second reservoirs with each other.
- a fluid handling method comprises providing an atmospheric heating tower having a first fluid inlet and a first fluid outlet; a submerged combustion vaporizer (SCV) having a second fluid inlet and a second fluid outlet, circulating fluid from the first fluid outlet to the second fluid inlet, and circulating fluid from the second fluid outlet to the first fluid inlet.
- SCV submerged combustion vaporizer
- FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a heat exchange system according to a first preferred embodiment.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a heat exchange system according to a second preferred embodiment.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a system involving two heat exchangers which can be useful for several purposes.
- One useful purpose for this heat exchanger system is the vaporization of LNG.
- LNG will be used as an example throughout the specification, it will be appreciated that the system could be useful for the vaporization of other materials and for any other industrial or other operation where it is desired to add heat to a material.
- an atmospheric heating tower to add supplemental or entire heat to a LNG vaporizer such as an SCV
- an atmospheric cooling tower to provide supplemental or entire cooling to other individual systems.
- an SCV 10 is shown, which in this instance is for vaporization of LNG.
- This SCV 10 has a water inlet and water outlet so in addition to, or instead of, heat being supplied to the SCV coil via the SCV gas burner, heat can also be supplied to the coil by supplying warm water to the SCV 10, and drawing out cooler water.
- the arrangement could in some applications be a heat exchanger that adds heat.
- the SCV 10 includes an LNG vaporization coil 12 having a liquid gas inlet 14 and a vaporized outlet 16. LNG enters the coil at inlet 14 and heat is added to it so that the vaporized gas exits at outlet 16.
- the coil 12 is suspended within a tank 18 which is filled with water or another heat exchange fluid 20.
- a gas combustion device 22 which may burn natural gas and other fuel.
- the combustion device 22 may provide hot flue gas via a flue 24 which may be provided beneath the coil 12 to conduct heat into the fluid 20, and also to exhaust hot gas bubbles over the coil 12, further adding heat to the material being vaporized.
- an atmospheric heating tower 30 is also utilized.
- the heating tower 30 draws air in to a lower air inlet 32 and exhausts the air out of a fan-powered outlet 34.
- a pump 36 labeled Pl, is provided to draw fluid out of the SCV 10 via a conduit 35 and pump it through a conduit 37 to a series of spray heads 38 near the top of the tower 30.
- the fluid thus drawn from the SCV is sprayed over a fill material 40 so that as it falls over the fill material 40 it contacts the air and has heat imparted to it. This will occur as long as the fluid drawn from the SCV 10 and being sprayed out the nozzles 38 is cooler than the ambient air.
- the pumps 36 and 44 are operated at substantially the same flow rate so that the fluid is basically pumped in a cycle out of the SCV towards the heating tower, and then back from the heating tower back into the SCV.
- This is a first embodiment.
- one aspect of this system is that in most conditions the atmospheric heating tower will actually generate additional fluid in the form of water due to condensation that occurs in the tower. Therefore, some provision can be provided, such as an overflow discharge port 50 provided at a maximum desired fluid level of the basin 42. An overflow discharge port 52 can similarly be provided in the SCV 10.
- the system described in FIG. 1 does have some possible disadvantages.
- the pump 44 fails, or if the conduits associated with pump 44 fail, it is possible that the re-supply of fluid back into the SCV 10 could be reduced or blocked entirely.
- the pump 36 continues to run, it is possible that water will continue to be pumped out of the SCV 10 and the SCV 10 could be "run dry" or at least partially dry. This condition can be undesirable.
- the water that is pumped out from the SCV 10 by the pump 36 would be added into the heating tower, but would fall into the basin 42 as overflow and be discharged out the overflow discharge port 50.
- FIG. 2 a second embodiment of an improved fluid handling system is shown in which reference numerals in FIG. 2 depict like components as in FIG. 1.
- the SCV 10 is shown having a fluid 20 at an operating level Ll.
- Ll it is typically desirable to have Ll to be maintained in a range so that it is not too high such that it would swamp the burner, and not too low such that it would fail to add heat to the coils, which could lead to coil freezing or other undesirable situations.
- the heating tower 30 can be connected to the SCV 10 such that the heating tower 30 can supply warmed water to the SCV.
- Ll will raise to a level and fluid will exit the SCV via a main outlet port 60, which may have a valve associated therewith.
- the exiting fluid flows from the main outlet port 60 into a holding weir 62.
- the valve associated with the port 60 be closed, or should the increase in the fluid level Ll become greater than handled by the outlet 60, as the fluid level Ll raises, it will reach an overflow port 64.
- fluid Upon reaching the height of the overflow port 64, fluid will exit the SCV and also enter the weir 62. This provides a beneficial feature by which the fluid level in the SCV will not swamp the burner.
- the weir chamber 62 has a sidewall 66, and as the level in the weir chamber 62 exceeds the height of the sidewall 66, the fluid will further be transferred into a buffer tank 68.
- a conduit 35 for drawing water out of the holding reservoir 68 leads to the pump 36 which pumps the fluid through conduit 37 and up to the nozzles 38 in the heating tower.
- the fluid is passed over the fill medium 40 and falls into the basin 42. Fluid is drawn from the basin 42 out by the pump 44 via conduit 43 and is supplied back to the SCV through the supply openings 46. Should the rate of supply of water into the basin 42 exceed the rate of the withdrawal of fluid from the basin 42, the level L2 of the basin fluid will increase. Should the level L2 of the basin fluid exceed a predetermined level, basin fluid will flow into a holding reservoir 70 as shown.
- the holding reservoir 70 is in fluid communication with the holding reservoir 68 via a flow equalization pipe 72.
- the level L3 of the holding reservoir 70 will generally stay substantially equal to the level L4 of the holding reservoir 68.
- the oversupply of fluid is deposited into the holding reservoirs 68 and 70, where they will equalize. Since the pump 36 draws from conduit 35 which is in fluid communication with both holding reservoirs 68 and 70, some fluid will always be available to be pumped into the heating tower.
- a single overflow bleed device 80 can be provided at either the holding reservoirs 68 or 70.
- the overflow bleed device 80 is provided on the reservoir 68 such that when L4 reaches a suitably high level, the excess fluid will be removed.
- the height of the bleed device 80 will generally be less than a wall 82 that defines a side of the reservoir 70 and a wall 84 that defines a height of the weir chamber 62.
- an additional overflow discharge (not shown) can be added to holding reservoir 70.
- a benefit of the arrangement illustrated in FIG. 2 is that in the case of a failure of either of the pumps 36 and 40, by virtue of the flow equalization pipe 72, the problems of swamping the burner, emptying the SCV or draining of the whole system can be avoided.
- pump 36 fails, pump 44 will draw water out of the basin 42 and supply it to the SCV 10.
- all the water that is added to the SCV 10 will exit via the outlet tube 64 and main port 60 to avoid an overflow, and will enter the weir 62 and the reservoir 68, and by virtue of the flow equalization pipe 72 the levels L3 and L4 will rise together.
- the water will be fed directly to the basin 42 and continue to re-circulate as described above.
- the heating tower will not be adding heat to the water, but essentially a short circuit is created such that water is not lost and the SCV can continue to operate on its own.
- the levels L4 and L3 will tend to stay equalized with each other due to the flow equalization pipe 72.
- the reservoir 68 is depicted as being essentially attached to the SCV 10, and the reservoir 70 as essentially attached to the cooling tower 30.
- suitable plumbing modifications can be made so that these reservoirs can exist at the same height.
- the levels Ll and L2 are shown as being substantially the same. However, again, where the cooling tower 30 is installed at a substantially different elevation than the SCV 10, these levels do not need to be the same as each other. Rather, suitable plumbing can be implemented to connect to the reservoirs to their respective heat exchange devices.
