Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tube bundle heat exchanger, with vertical tubes, useful for carrying out heat exchange between at least two fluids, with the so-called falling film technique.
  • a heat exchanger of the said type generally comprises a plurality of rectilinear tubes, grouped to form a tube bundle through at least two tube plates, positioned near the opposite ends of said tubes, that are open on the outside of the plates themselves.
  • a first fluid called main fluid in the rest of the description, for example a solution to be concentrated, goes down alongside the inner wall of the tubes, without filling them, forming a thin film, that leaves a considerable empty space in the centre of the tubes themselves and for their whole length;
  • a second fluid called operating fluid in he rest of the description, flows in the heat exchanger, from the outside of the respective tube bundle, coming into contact with the external wall of every single tube.
  • the vertical tubes that constitute such a tube bundle, have opposite ends open and in fluid communication with the outside of the exchanger. Moreover, to grant the formation of a respective main fluid "falling film" in every vertical tube, in every upper end of said tubes a crop end of tube is coaxially engaged, fitted, in an intermediate position, with one or more through radial holes at predetermined distance from the underlying tube plate.
  • a predetermined liquid head of the solution to be concentrated is formed above said holes, which solution overflow through the holes inside the crop ends of the tubes, forming the desired liquid film.
  • said crop end of tube is also called ferule.
  • a falling film heat exchanger is as much widely used, in which at least two distinct zones are defined, separated one from the other, tightened against a fluid under pressure, and crossed by the same vertical tubes of the only tube bundle comprised in said heat exchanger, each of said zones being intended to be crossed by a respective operating fluid.
  • the known art provides a cylindrical mantle with vertical axis, closed at the opposite ends by respective walls or bottoms, a falling film tube bundle with vertical tubes, axially extended in said mantle having tube plates, respectively upper and bottom, fixed gas tight to said mantle, in proper spaced relationship from said bottoms.
  • a third tube plate, in-between the previous, is circumferentially fixed, gas tight, to said mantle.
  • the tubes are engaged tightly in said tubular plates, generally by flaring.
  • the descending film heat exchangers structured in the above schematically described way have recognized drawbacks, among which the most relevant one is represented by the difficulty to assure the necessary and desired tightness between the two (or more) different zones in which every exchanger is subdivided.
  • Such difficulty is above all due to the welding and flaring operations that, besides being numerous, have to be carried out in objectively awkward conditions.
  • the problem underlying the present invention is that of providing a falling film tube bundle heat exchanger, with vertical tubes, of the above mentioned type, having structural and functional characteristics so as to allow a substantial simplification of the assembly and setting operations of the tube bundle inside the respective mantle, disengaging said operations from the exchanger height, from the tube length, so as to assure in every case the tightness between the different inner heat exchange zones of the exchanger itself, so as to overcome all the drawbacks mentioned with reference to the prior art.
  • a falling film tube bundle heat exchanger with vertical tubes comprising a cylindrical mantle with vertical axis closed to the opposite ends by respective bottoms, superior and inferior, characterized in that it comprises:
  • a heat exchanger 1 of the so-called descending film type comprises a mantle 2, with a vertical axis A-A, closed at the opposite ends by respective bottoms, upper 3 and lower 4, fixed thereto through respective flanges 3a, 4a; a first descending film-tube bundle F 1 , with vertical tubes 5, is axially extended in said mantle 2, with tube plates 6, 7 respectively superior and inferior, circumferentially fixed, tightened against a fluid under pressure, to the mantle 2 itself.
  • the tubes 5 have opposite ends 5a, 5b open and extending externally to the respective tube plates 6, 7.
  • a second tube bundle F 2 with vertical tubes 8 is mounted, with tube plates 9, 10, respectively superior and inferior, circumferentially fixed, tightened against a fluid under pressure, to the mantle itself.
  • the tubes 8 also have opposite ends 8a, 8b open and extending from the respective tube plates 9, 10.
  • the first zone 11 is comprised between the superior end 3 and the superior tube plate 6 of the first tube bundle F 1 ;
  • the second zone 12 is comprised between the tube plates 6, 7 of said first tube bundle F 1 ;
  • the third zone 13 is comprised between the inferior tube plate 7 of the first tube bundle F 1 and the superior tube plate 9 of the second tube bundle F 2 ;
  • the fourth zone 14 is comprised between the tube bundles 9, 10 of the second tube bundle F 2 ;
  • the fifth zone 15 is comprised between the tube plate 10 of the second tube bundle F 2 and the inferior bottom 4 of said mantle 2.
  • the first zone 11 is in fluid communication with the outside through a duct 16, provided for the input of main fluid, for example, a solution to be concentrated, and trough a duct 17, for the output of the possible vapors freed inside the tubes 5 of the first tube bundle F 1 .
  • a duct 16 provided for the input of main fluid, for example, a solution to be concentrated, and trough a duct 17, for the output of the possible vapors freed inside the tubes 5 of the first tube bundle F 1 .
  • the superior ends 5a of the tubes 5 of the first tube bundle F 1 are open.
  • the second zone 12, or heat exchange zone is separated, tightened against a fluid under pressure, from said zone 11, while it is in fluid communication with the outside of the mantle 2 trough ducts, superior 18 and inferior 19.
  • the duct 18 is used for the input of a heat exchange operating fluid.
  • the fourth zone 14, heat exchange zone too, is in communication with the outside of the mantle 2 through a superior duct 20, for the input of a second heat exchange operating fluid and through an inferior duct 21 that provides for the output of said fluid from the heat exchanger 1.
  • Said heat exchange zones 12, 14 are mutually spaced in the axis A-A direction, from the third zone 13, from which they are separated, tightened against a fluid under pressure.
  • the inferior ends 5b of the tubes 5 of the first tube bundle F 1 and the superior ends 8b of the tubes 8 of the second tube bundle F 2 are open.
  • the fifth zone 15, or gathering zone, that constitutes a kind of tank for collecting the concentrate solution is separated, tightened against a fluid under pressure, from said zone 14, while it is in communication with the outside of the exchanger 1 through a duct 22 for the output of said solution.
  • the inferior ends 8b of the tubes 8 of the second tube bundle F 2 are separated, tightened against a fluid under pressure, from said zone 14, while it is in communication with the outside of the exchanger 1 through a duct 22 for the output of said solution.
  • said liquid may fill, even only partially, the central "empty" zone of the tube, in the distribution zone 11, the one comprised between the upper bottom 3 of the heat exchanger of the present invention, and the first tube bundle F 1 , a plurality of per se known ferules 23 is operating, one for each tube 5.
  • every ferule 23 has end 24b free, open in said distribution zone 11 and, in an intermediate position, is fitted with one or more through radial holes at predetermined distance from the underlying tube plate 6, so as to form a liquid head (solution to be concentrated) in the distribution zone 11.
  • a plurality of ferules 26 (Fig. 3) is active, one for each tube 8 of the second tube bundle F 2 .
  • This liquid head is substantially maintained constant by, for example, the already partially concentrated solution (main fluid) that is fed in said 13, by gravity ("rains"), from the tubes 5, of the overhanging first tube bundle F 1 .
  • said ferules 26 are closed above (Fig. 3), while they are fitted with further appropriate radial apertures 27, in positions suited to allow the output of the gaseous flux possibly freed in the tubes of the second tube bundle F 2 .
  • the heat exchanger according to the present invention has structural and functional characteristics so as to substantially simplify the assembly and setting operations of the tube bundle inside the respective mantle, allowing the disengagement of said operations from the exchanger height, and obtaining the vantage of assuring in every case the tightness between the different inner heat exchange zones of the exchanger itself.
