Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of construction of thermal machines, in particular heat pumps, and relates to a pipe heat exchanger.
- the heat exchangers currently existing, of the condenser or evaporator type, are generally constituted by a coil arranged in a heat exchange chamber, in which the coil transmits the heat or cooling energy which it transports to the fluid in change of state, which surrounds it.
- DE-A-2 736 489 also discloses a heat exchanger comprising pipes. substantially equal lengths, and of the same diameter, which are wound in concentric tubes around a core and in one direction of winding.
- the pipes of these tubes are not, however, contiguous, but are connected to an intermediate screen serving, moreover, for heat exchange.
- FR-A-1 523 810 describes an embodiment with pipes of relatively large lengths, not allowing free axial expansion in the event of accidental freezing, when the exchanger is used as an evaporator.
- FR-A-1 321 766 discloses a heat exchanger, constituted by coils in concentric tubes of pipes, but whose pipes are of unequal lengths, these tubes being, moreover, kept at regular spacing by means spacers.
- This exchanger has substantially the same characteristics as that object of FR-A-1 523 810 and has the same drawbacks as the latter.
- the present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.
- a heat exchanger with pipes essentially constituted by pipes arranged in an annular chamber formed by a core and by an external envelope, the pipes of the annular chamber all having equal lengths, being wound in form of concentric tubes around the core, each tube consisting of one or more pipes wound on the same generator, the number of tubes increasing with the winding diameter of the tube, the tubes being wound in different steps, the turns strands being contiguous, or practically contiguous, and leaving only a minimum space for the passage of the fluid in change of state to be heated or cooled, characterized in that the strands are wound in an alternating reverse manner, in that the pipes have a diameter and a length allowing rapid flow velocities, and a diameter less than six times their wall thickness, and are made up of killed so as to present neither a blind spot, nor a change in diameter, on the path in contact with the fluid in change of state, and their ends open, by means of short bends, with an internal radius approximately equal to 1, 25 diameter, outside the annul
- the figure of the appended drawing shows, by way of example, the heat exchanger according to the invention, which essentially consists of pipes 1 arranged in an annular chamber 2 formed by a core 3 and by an outer casing 4.
- the pipes of this exchanger all have identical lengths and are wound around the core 3 in the form of contiguous concentric strands which have different pitches, and which are wound in alternating reverse fashion.
- These tubes each consist of one or more pipes 1 wound on the same generator, and the number of pipes 1 is a function of the coil winding diameter, and increases with said diameter.
- the turns of the strands thus wound are contiguous, or practically contiguous, so as to leave only a minimum space for the passage of the fluid in change of state to be heated or cooled, while providing a maximum exchange surface.
- the pipes 1 are advantageously in large number and have a relatively small diameter and length, allowing, even at low flow rates, relatively rapid flow rates resulting in good heat exchange.
- the passage of the liquid in pipes 1 of small diameter allows an increase in the exchange surface for a given flow rate, so that the thermal efficiency of the exchanger is improved compared to an exchanger comprising a small number of large pipes.
- pipes 1 all having an identical length also makes it possible to standardize the flow rates and pressure drops in said pipes.
- the embodiment according to the invention therefore ensures an identical change in temperature of the liquid for the pipes, which is very important from the thermodynamic point of view.
- the free space 5 between the tubes 5 in the annular chamber 2 is reduced to a minimum, which is sufficient for absorb the relatively low mass flow rates of the fluid in change of state in the evaporator or the condenser, these flow rates being much lower than those of the liquid circulating in the pipes 1 and with which the heat exchange takes place.
- the exchanger according to the invention when used in the form of an evaporator, the preferred position of which is the vertical position, the boiling liquid is in the lower part and the vapors are discharged in the part superior.
- the fluid subjected to the change of state generally entails a part of the lubricating oil of the compressor, which must therefore be constantly brought back to the latter.
- the oil-refrigerant mixture is subjected to a distillation as a result of which the non-volatile oil tends to remain and accumulate in the lower part of the evaporator.
- the invention makes it possible to avoid this accumulation thanks to the reduction in the available volume of the annular chamber 2, which has the effect of causing a forced vertical routing of the oil in the form of droplets or mist entrained by the vapors, which evolve at relatively high speeds.
- the pipes 1 have a diameter less than six times their wall thickness, and are formed so as to have neither dead angle nor change in diameter, on the path in contact with the fluid in change of state, and their ends open, by means of short elbows 7 with an internal radius approximately equal to 1.25 diameter, outside the annular chamber 2 in the fluid flow tube 6, in a direction parallel to this tube and to the direction of flow of the liquid at the inlet and at the outlet of the exchanger.
- Such an embodiment makes it possible to avoid, in the event of accidental freezing of the liquid in the pipes 1, destruction of the latter, the pipes 1 resisting the pressure and the bead of frozen liquid expanding axially.
- the exchanger according to the invention is more particularly intended for use in refrigeration machines in the form of an evaporator or a condenser, in which the heat exchange takes place between a liquid circulating in the pipes 1 and a fluid in change of state through the annular space 3.
