Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heat exchanger with at least one heat exchange body with successive sheet metal elements which, together with gas-permeable intermediate layers arranged between them, alternately limit passages for a first fluid and a second fluid.
  • the heat exchanger is in particular provided to transfer heat between two gaseous fluids.
  • the heat exchanger can be used to heat hot exhaust gas from a hot gas engine, such as one
  • a heat exchanger known from GB 892 962 A has a heat exchange body with sheet metal elements which is annular in cross section. These have a central section in the form of an Archimedean spiral and with wavy ribs running along it, which obviously abut an adjacent sheet metal element and keep the ribless regions of the central sections at a distance from one another, so that they delimit spiral passages.
  • the inner and outer edge sections of the sheet metal elements are angled or bent several times so that they abut each other in the innermost or outermost sections and limit axial channels.
  • the sheet metal elements are connected to one another by welding or soldering.
  • the exhaust gases flowing from a Stirling engine or a gas turbine have high temperatures in modern engines or gas turbines, which are often 500 ° C. to approximately 1000 ° C. or a little more. If such exhaust gas is supplied to a heat exchange body, its sheet metal elements are subjected to severe temperature changes at the beginning and at the end of the operation of the heat exchange. Furthermore, strong temperature gradients result in a flow through the heat exchange body during operation along the flow paths of the fluids. Such temperature changes cause changes in the dimensions, which differ due to the temperature gradients.
  • Sheet metal elements provided with ribs and angled or bent at the inner edges and outer edges according to GB 892 962 A can be deformed strongly and permanently by the dimensional changes occurring at high exhaust gas temperatures and the associated stresses.
  • the deformations are further increased in that the bent and abutting edge sections of the sheet metal elements connect all sheet metal elements to one another in a relatively stiff and unyielding manner.
  • the deformations generated in turn have the result that the passages are expanded in places and narrowed in places or are even more or less completely closed, as a result of which the properties of the heat exchanger are greatly deteriorated.
  • GB 892 962 A does not show whether and how the spiral Passages are completed at the two ends of the heat exchange body and whether and how there and in the axial channels of the heat exchange body, mixing of the hot exhaust gas with the air can be prevented.
  • the rings mentioned must have a hole aligned with them for every second axial channel and because the inner ends of the spiral central sections of the sheet metal elements in a cut perpendicular to the axis form a rather acute angle with the inner surface of the heat exchange element.
  • the latter can also have only a relatively small number of passages distributed around its inner circumferential surface for a given, given inner diameter.
  • the production of the bent edge sections is complicated and expensive.
  • US 4 506 502 A discloses a heat exchanger with an annular heat exchange body with spiral passages.
  • the heat exchange body is made of ceramic or steel, but the internal structure and the manufacture of the heat exchange body are not disclosed in more detail.
  • the hot exhaust gas is passed through the heat exchange body from the outside to the inside during operation.
  • the heat exchange body is therefore very hot on its outer surface, so that a lot of heat is released to the environment and high heat losses occur.
  • a heat exchanger known from US 3741 293 A has an annular heat exchange body with flat, radial sheet metal elements and arranged in rows between them
  • a heat exchanger known from US Pat. No. 5,060,721 A has an annular heat exchange body with sheet metal elements which are generally bent in the form of an involute. Each of these forms an irregular hexagon in the developed, flat state and has a trapezoidal central section and a wing on both sides of this. The middle section has waves running along the involutes. The wings have some waves that form channels parallel to the axis of the heat exchange body.
  • This heat exchanger has some disadvantages similar to that
  • GB 1 172 247 A discloses heat exchangers with an approximately cuboid heat exchange body. This has a stack of rectangular plates with a flat main section and edge sections bent upwards. An intermediate layer consisting of a wire mesh is arranged between the adjacent plates.
  • the wire grids consist of wires lying on one another and crossing one another at right angles. According to the figures, the latter form angles of approximately 45 ° with the rectangular sides of the plates.
  • Heat exchangers generally flow through these flowing fluids more or less parallel to the longer rectangular sides.
  • the wire grids therefore provide fairly good heat conduction along the flow paths of the fluids.
  • a large part of the hotter fluid supplied heat is transported away from the heat exchanger and is not transferred.
  • the edges of the plates are provided with rubber seals that are not suitable for high temperatures.
  • These known heat exchangers were therefore not suitable for exhaust gases from internal combustion engines and gas turbines at temperatures of up to approximately 1000.degree.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a heat exchanger which makes it possible to avoid disadvantages of the known heat exchangers.
  • the sheet metal elements should on the one hand be sufficiently stable and permanently connected to one another in such a way that the passages for the two fluids are and remain perfectly separated from one another.
  • the sheet metal elements should maintain their shape as well as possible even when a fluid is supplied at a very high temperature and ensure that all passages are uniform
  • the heat exchanger should be economical to manufacture and enable the heat losses to the environment to be kept low.

  • the invention further relates to a heat exchanger with at least one heat exchange body with successive sheet metal elements which alternately delimit passages for a first fluid and a second fluid and between which gas-permeable intermediate layers are arranged, each sheet metal element having two side edges facing away from one another and the heat exchanger being characterized thereby , that the
