Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for operating a tube bundle apparatus for heat transfer with heat exchanger tubes arranged between tube plates and an inlet and an outlet chamber, in which, together with the medium to be treated, abrasive solid particles are passed through the heat exchanger tubes.
  • Tube bundle apparatuses for the transfer of heat from a liquid or gaseous medium to a liquid, in which foreign particles which are insoluble in this liquid are passed through the heating pipes together with the medium to be treated are known and are described, for example, in DE-PS 28 15 825, DE -OS 34 32 864, DE-OS 36 25 408 or EP 0 132 873 B1.
  • the foreign or solid particles serve to keep the inside of the heating pipes free of deposits and crystal formation and are normally circulated.
  • the above prior art describes the use of this so-called fluidized bed technology for the incrustation and contamination-free operation of heat-transferring apparatus. These are always arrangements with a standing or moving fluidized bed. With these arrangements, the particles are significantly heavier than the one to be warmed up or medium to be cooled.
  • the tubes are always arranged vertically and are flowed through from bottom to top, the flow velocity of the liquid having to be in a certain ratio to the sinking speed of the particles in the still liquid.
  • the backflow of the particles from the upper water chamber to the lower is controlled by suitable hydraulic internals.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the possible uses of tube bundle apparatus by avoiding the difficulties mentioned above and to reliably avoid deposits and incrustations regardless of the installation position of such apparatus, i.e. in particular to achieve a uniform abrasive effect of the solid particles even when the tube bundle is lying flat.
  • the medium to be treated, together with the abrasive solid particles is fed to the inlet chamber by means of a jet pump and the abrasive solid particles within the outlet chamber are mechanically separated from the treated medium and together with a partial flow of the treated medium less than 20%, preferably 5 to 10%, of the total volume of the jet pump.
  • the solid particles are conveyed by a jet pump in the circuit. Together with a small partial flow of the liquid medium, they are sucked in by the jet pump from the outlet chamber of the tube bundle apparatus and mixed with the stream of the medium to be treated that feeds the jet pump.
  • This, together with the solid particles distributed homogeneously therein is fed via a return pipe to the inlet chamber of the tube bundle apparatus and flows through the heat exchanger tubes, where, depending on the process, heat is added or removed.
  • the flow through the tubes is turbulent at the speed usual for heat exchangers.
  • the entrained, abrasive solid particles collide against the inside of the pipes due to the turbulent flow and thus prevent incrustations, dirt and caking.
  • the foreign particles are separated from the treated medium by means of a mechanical separation device arranged in the outlet chamber.
  • the solid particles are thus discharged and introduced using a jet pump, the medium to be treated itself serving as the propellant.
  • the jet pump sucks off a small partial flow of less than 20%, preferably 5 to 10%, of the medium emerging from the tube bundle, which is just sufficient to suck off the particles transported through the tubes with the liquid, and compresses this partial flow to the inlet pressure of the heat exchanger .
  • the method according to the invention has the advantage of an extremely simple construction, in particular no moving parts or devices come into contact with the mixture of medium and abrasive solids, which is of crucial importance for the operational safety and the trouble-free operation of such tube bundle apparatus.
  • Another advantage is that entrainment or discharge of solid particles is reliably avoided in this process. It is insensitive to inadvertently excessive flow rates and also enables a horizontal arrangement of the tube bundle apparatus.
  • the tube bundle apparatus can be used without the method according to the invention other can also be operated horizontally installed. It also enables a multi-flow design of the tube bundle apparatus.
  • the density of the foreign matter particles is the same or only slightly greater than the medium to be treated, they follow the flow through the Heat exchangers with no problems even with greater deflection or large differences in speed, which is beneficial for the design freedom with regard to heat exchangers and lines. It is also advantageous that the flow rates in the process according to the invention outside the heat exchanger tubes can be lower than in conventional processes, since there is no risk of segregation and settling. This means lower pressure losses and thus cost savings. While in the previous methods for maintaining a very specific sink rate of the particles, depending on the medium, a certain particle size had to be observed, a further advantage of the method according to the invention is that the size of the solid particles can be chosen freely.
  • the solid particles flow at the same speed as the liquid and therefore also follow the deflections that may be present in heat exchangers.
  • Existing heat exchangers can thus also be converted or retrofitted to the method according to the invention without any procedural problems.
  • the number of solid particles can also be freely selected within wide limits and can be chosen to be smaller or larger depending on the tendency of the medium to be treated to become dirty, which represents a considerable process advantage.
  • the special design of the method offers Claim 3 advantages, since the admixture of the foreign matter particles can be spatially separated from the heat transfer. Especially when using foreign matter particles with the same or at most 50% higher specific weight compared to the liquid, there are no separation problems even with a longer return line.
  • An advantageous development of the method according to the invention is that only as large a part of the medium to be treated is fed to the jet pump as is necessary as a driving jet for the returned amount of treated medium, and the rest of the medium is fed directly to the inlet chamber with a separate pump . This ensures that the dimensions of the jet pump can be reduced. However, this advantage must be bought with the installation of a second pump. Depending on the medium to be treated and its viscosity, however, it may be more advantageous to pass the entire volume flow of the medium to be treated through the jet pump, since the driving pressure and the flow rate are lower, and thus the mechanical load on the jet pump and solid particles is kept low becomes.
  • a process control according to claim 5 is particularly interesting from a process engineering point of view. For example, this results in the shortest possible flow paths and thus a reduction in flow losses.
  • the central feedback and the internal jet pump also result in low heat losses.
  • saving energy and reducing heat loss mean an improvement in efficiency for the overall process.
  • a device according to claim 6 is advantageously used to carry out the method according to one of claims 1 to 4.
  • the treated medium leaves the tube bundle apparatus, whereas the solid particles are constantly circulated.
  • a jet pump to suck the solid particles out of the treated medium and to add them to the medium to be treated, the operational safety and susceptibility to malfunction of such a system are significantly improved, since no rotating or moving parts come into contact with the abrasive mixture.
  • the separating device is designed as a flat sieve, slotted sieve or rake-like, whereby it can be advantageous to make it roof-shaped or to arrange it inclined to the direction of flow. This enables a targeted movement of the solid particles during separation. That means despite the nonexistent or only very small Differences in density between particles and medium ensure that the particles are transported to the discharge nozzle.
  • a slotted sieve inclined against the direction of flow or a rake has the advantage that the particles do not stick, but due to the inclination of the rake a downward resulting force is exerted on the particles, so that they also move along the rake without the influence of gravity move to the discharge nozzle.
  • a device according to claim 11 is advantageous, by means of which a particularly space-saving, compact system design is possible.
  • the advantage of this arrangement can be seen in the elimination of the connecting pipelines between the jet pump and the tube bundle apparatus, the efficiency of the jet pump being improved at the same time.
  • Due to the internal return tube designed as a diffuser the outer diameter of the tube bundle apparatus increases only insignificantly with the same heat exchange surface.
  • the overall length or height (depending on the installation position) should not increase or increase only slightly due to the internal jet pump according to the invention, since the outlet chamber anyway has a relatively large volume in terms of flow and construction.
  • the separating device in order to minimize the space required for the jet pump, it is provided according to a further development of the invention to design the separating device as a conical sieve, so that no additional space is required and there is sufficient space to arrange the nozzle in the outlet chamber.
  • the fact that in this case the supply of the medium to be treated and the discharge of the treated medium at the same end of the tube bundle apparatus may enable a particularly favorable pipeline routing without the need for thermal expansion compensation.
  • the tube bundle apparatus consists of a container jacket 1, in which the tube sheets 2 and 3 are arranged with intermediate heat exchanger tubes 4 and the container bases 5 and 6 with the inlet and outlet nozzles 7 and 8.
  • the heat exchanger tubes 4 are made of a heating or cooling medium washed around, which is fed via a nozzle 9, either as shown here in Co-current or counter-current flows, and is discharged via a nozzle 10.
  • the space between the tube plate 2 and the container base 5 represents the inlet chamber 11 for the medium to be treated and the space between the tube plate 3 and the container base 6 represents the outlet chamber 12 for the medium being treated.
  • a separation device 13 shown here schematically as a flat screen, is arranged, with which the solid particles 14 are separated from the treated medium.
  • the treated medium freed from the abrasive solid particles 14, leaves the tube bundle apparatus via the outlet nozzle 8, while the solid particles are withdrawn from the tube bundle apparatus via the discharge nozzle 15. They are sucked in by a jet pump 16 together with a small partial stream of the treated medium, which is just sufficient for the transport, ie the warmed or cooled liquid.
  • the jet pump 16 essentially consists of a nozzle 17 and a diffuser 18, which at the same time forms part of the return line 19.
  • the main flow of the medium to be treated is fed to the tube bundle apparatus by the pump 20.
  • a partial flow of the medium to be treated is supplied to the jet pump 16 by a second pump 21 as the driving medium.
  • the solid particles 14, which were separated from the treated medium in the outlet chamber 12 by the separating device 13, are conducted together with a small partial flow of the treated medium via the return line 19 and the jet pump 16 in a constant cycle.
  • a relatively small jet pump is used in this procedure.
  • the jet pump 16 is acted upon by the pump 21 with the entire volume flow of the medium to be treated; that makes a larger jet pump necessary.
  • the second pump is not required.
  • Fig. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of the invention, wherein the jet pump 16 is arranged within the tube bundle apparatus.
  • the nozzle 17 of the jet pump 16 is located within the outlet chamber 12, the diffuser 18 being arranged centrally within the tube bundle formed from the heat exchanger tubes 4 as a return and being connected on the one hand to the inlet chamber 11 and on the other hand to the outlet chamber 12.
  • a conical sieve is provided as a separating device 13 for the abrasive solid particles 14 within the outlet chamber 12.
  • the medium to be treated is fed to the nozzle 17 via the pump 21, the solid particles being sucked out of the outlet chamber 12 and passed together with the medium to be treated via the heat exchanger tubes 4.
  • the treated medium is discharged on the same side of the tube bundle apparatus on which the material to be treated is fed.
