Abstract
Description
The invention relates to a plate element for a plate heat exchanger.
Plate elements of this type are usual in most diverse forms and made of numerous different materials.
Starting from this, it is the object of the invention to provide a plate element for a plate heat exchange which on the one hand can be manufactured at low expense, has a comparatively low weight and nevertheless has exceptional enthalpy exchange properties in addition to the usual heat exchange properties. In addition to sensitive heat or temperature, moisture or water vapour should also be transferred or exchanged between different fluid streams.
This object is solved according to the invention by a plate element for a plate heat exchanger in which the plate element is an at least two-layered laminate assembly comprising a membrane layer by means of which enthalpy can be transferred between two fluid streams separated by the plate element and at least one support layer which consists of a broken-through and deformable material and by means of which the plate element can be provided with a predefinable mechanical strength and a spatial structure and this can be maintained.
Such a plate element can be manufactured at low expense with the desired properties.
The membrane layer of the plate element according to the invention can advantageously be configured as a plastic membrane layer.
The at least one support layer of the plate element according to the invention can be configured as a woven fabric or nonwoven layer at comparatively low expense, wherein the necessarily broken-through structure of the support layer is advantageously obtained by the selection of the said materials.
In order to provide the plate element according to the invention with the predefinable mechanical strength and the desired spatial structure with technically constructive low expenditure, it is advantageous if the at least one support layer of the plate element is formed from a thermally deformable material.
In an advantageous embodiment of the plate element according to the invention, this is configured as a three-layered laminate assembly, having a further support layer which is disposed on the side of the membrane layer facing away from the first support layer and by means of which the plate element can be provided with a predefinable mechanical strength and a spatial structure and this can be maintained.
A flat, point-by-point, strip or grid-shaped connection of each support layer to the membrane layer can be achieved by means of material properties of each support layer and/or membrane layer.
In this case, no additional connecting means such as adhesives or the like are then required.
Alternatively however it is also possible to achieve the flat, point-by-point, strip or grid-shaped and adhesive connection of
The nonwoven layers can advantageously be formed from a polyester nonwoven.
This polyester nonwoven should expediently have a weight between 20 and 80, preferably of about 50 g/m2.
In order to ensure the permeability of the polyester nonwoven for liquid and therefore the removal of liquid to the plastic membrane layer, it is advantageous if the polyester nonwoven is hygroscopically adjustable.
This can expediently be achieved whereby the polyester nonwoven has a coating made of a zeolite and a binder.
The enthalpy transfer properties of the plastic membrane layer can be achieved with comparatively low expenditure if the plastic membrane layer is formed from a polymer or polyurethane material.
Expediently the previously described plate elements can be interlocked and welded or adhesively bonded at their edges so that they can be joined together to form a plate heat exchanger with an extremely low technical constructive expenditure.
In a method according to the invention for manufacturing a plate element for a plate heat exchanger, an at least two-layered laminate assembly comprising a membrane layer, preferably a plastic membrane layer and at least one support layer, preferably a nonwoven layer in each case is prepared in a flat
of existing production installations are required.
Expediently in the deformation step an adhesive connection is simultaneously made between each support layer and the membrane layer. The expenditure for the manufacture of the plate element according to the invention can thus be comparatively low.
The deformation accompanying the production of the adhesive connection is accomplished by means of pressing at a maximum of <160 degrees C. This ensures that the enthalpy transfer characteristics of the membrane layer are not adversely influenced.
The hygroscopic adjustment of the support or nonwoven layers can be achieved with a comparatively low expenditure by providing the support or nonwoven layers with a coating made of a zeolite and a binder by means of a dipping or spraying process.
As a result of the hygroscopic adjustment of the support or nonwoven layers, if a hydrophilic adjustment of the support or nonwoven layers is provided, it can be achieved that water deposited in the support or nonwoven layers is distributed uniformly over the surface of the support or nonwoven layers with the result that the permeability of the plate element overall is maintained.
According to another embodiment, there is provided a plate element for plate heat exchangers produced according to the method as described herein.
4a Date Recue/Date Received 2023-02-16 The invention is explained in detail hereinafter by means of an embodiment with reference to the drawings, in which the only figure shows a schematic diagram of a plate element according to the invention which can be joined together with further plate elements of the same type to form a plate heat exchanger.
The plate element 1 shown in the single figure is not shown to scale in this figure but merely schematically. In the exemplary embodiment of the plate element 1 according to the invention, this is configured as a three-layered laminate assembly 1.
This three-layered laminate assembly 1 includes a plastic membrane 2 arranged centrally in the laminate assembly 1, a first nonwoven layer 3 arranged above the plastic membrane layer 2 in the figure and a second nonwoven layer 4 arranged below the plastic membrane layer 2 in the figure.
By means of the plastic membrane layer 2, enthalpy can be transferred between two fluid streams not shown in the figure, wherein one of the fluid streams flows above the plate element 1 and the other of the two fluid streams flows below the plate element 1.
In the exemplary embodiment shown the plastic membrane layer 2 is formed from a polyurethane material.
The first nonwoven layer 3 and the second nonwoven layer 4 are formed from a thermally deformable nonwoven material, in the exemplary embodiment shown from a polyester nonwoven. The polyester nonwoven has a weight of 50 g/m2. Furthemore the polyester nonwoven is configured to be hygroscopically adjustable, wherein for this purpose the polyester nonwoven is provided with a coating which consists of a suitable zeolite and a binder.
By means of the two nonwoven layers 3, 4 it is achieved that the plate element 1 acquires a predefinable mechanical strength and a spatial structure. This mechanical strength and this spatial structure can be maintained for the duration of usage of the plate element in a plate heat exchanger.
Between the plastic membrane layer 2 on the one hand and the nonwoven layers 3, 4 on the other hand, a flat adhesive connection is provided. In the exemplary embodiment of the plate element 3 shown in the single figure this can be implemented by means of the material properties of the polyester nonwoven forming the nonwoven layers 3, 4 and/or by means of material properties of the plastic membrane layer 2.
Alternatively it is possible to achieve this adhesive connection by means of a binder, preferably by means of a hot melt adhesive.
In order to manufacture a plate heat exchanger from the previously described plate elements 1, these can be interlocked and welded at their edges. This creates separate flow channels for the one fluid stream and for the other fluid stream. Through the plate elements 1 enthalpy can be exchanged between the fluid streams.
In order to produce the plate element 1, a flat three-layered laminate assembly 1 is firstly created. In this case the plastic membrane layer 2 is placed on the lower nonwoven layer 4 and the upper nonwoven layer 1 is placed on the plastic membrane layer 2. Then the plate element 1 is created by means of a single process step which is used both for deformation, i.e. creation of a spatial structure for the plate element 1 and also for flat connection between the plastic membrane layer 2 on the one hand and the two nonwoven layers 3, 4 on the other hand. The same tools which are also used in the manufacture of conventional plate elements are also used for this process step.
Furthermore a maximum temperature which is 160 degrees C is not exceeded in this process step. This ensures that the plastic membrane layer 2 retains its enthalpy permeability required for its correct functioning.
For the hygroscopic adjustment of the two nonwoven layers 3, 4 these are provided with a coating of a zeolite and a binder, wherein this coating can be produced by a dipping or a spraying process.
