Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packing for heat and / or mass transfer between liquid and gaseous media in countercurrent, in particular for water cooling by air in cooling towers, with a large number of film elements profiled by corrugations, the corrugations providing flow channels and the film elements being formed of contact points are arranged one behind the other in the thickness direction, with adjacent film elements being connected to one another at their contact points and with the large areas of adjacent film elements facing one another having a fine profile.
  • Cooling towers for water cooling in general and cooling fixtures for cooling towers - also called packings - in particular are well known per se from the prior art.
  • Cooling towers are used in particular to cool liquid media, i.e. fluids such as water, by means of ambient air.
  • liquid media i.e. fluids such as water
  • previously known cooling towers have a fluid cooling device which in turn has cooling components, that is to say so-called packings, and a fluid distribution device.
  • the fluid to be cooled is sprayed above the packs by means of the fluid distribution device and trickles along the packs, namely downwards following the force of gravity.
  • the packings are preferably flowed through by air for the purpose of cooling in countercurrent to the fluid to be cooled. As a result of the contact of the fluid to be cooled with the air inside the packs, the fluid to be cooled is cooled as intended.
  • a fan which promotes the air flow through the cooling tower and in particular through the cooling installations. This is typically arranged in the vertical direction of the cooling tower above the fluid cooling device. In normal operation, the fan sucks in ambient air from below the fluid cooling device, which air flows through the fluid cooling device arranged in the vertical direction of the cooling tower below the fan as cooling air. The ambient air sucked in by the fan is released into the atmosphere as heated ambient air after flowing through the packs upwards.
  • a cooling tower of the type described above is for example from WO 2009/149954 A1 known.
  • a packing construction is known from the prior art, according to which a multiplicity of foil or plate elements profiled by corrugations is provided. These film elements are arranged one behind the other in the direction of thickness, the corrugations providing flow channels. Adjacent film elements are connected to one another at their points of contact. Furthermore, the large areas of adjacent film elements facing one another have a fine profile. This fine profiling serves to optimize the heat exchange even further.
  • a generic pack is from the DE 41 22 369 C1 known.
  • the built-in element consists of touching, folded lamellae made of film-like material, arranged parallel to the column axis.
  • the folds of the lamellae lie at an angle to the column axis.
  • the folding walls of the slats are also finely corrugated and the slats have a plurality of holes distributed over their surface.
  • the corrugation results from roughening the surface of the lamellas by means of grooves or embossing patterns.
  • the DE 39 18 483 A1 relates to a packing for heat and mass transfer in countercurrent.
  • the filler body has a plurality of vertically and obliquely standing, superimposed and interconnected corrugated or folded foils or plates, which are designed and / or placed on top of one another and connected to one another such that the corrugations or folds of adjacent foils or plates cross.
  • the corrugations or folds of neighboring foils or plates only intersect in the upper part of the filling body, while they run parallel to each other in the lower part.
  • the US 6,578,829 B2 relates to a packaging section which has a plurality of vertically oriented, diagonally cross-shaped corrugated packaging sheets.
  • the packaging sheets define a section height, the section having a base region, a volume region and a top region.
  • the base region has a first specific geometry that differs from a geometry of the volume region.
  • the upper area also has a specific, second geometry which also differs from the geometry of the volume area as well as from the geometry of the base area.
  • the EP 0 056 911 B1 relates to a filling part for filling purposes in a water cooling tower, which in the basic state has vertical sheets of malleable material everywhere with a generally zig-zag-shaped, downward-pointing spiral pattern. Each sheet has a pair of opposite sides which are intended to be wetted by heated water flowing downwards over the same.
  • the malleable material is equipped with horizontal ribs that form angled depressions. It is also provided that the filling part has water cooling pockets at the sinus curve between each rib and that the pockets of the depressions are arranged at an angle with respect to the horizontal.
  • the EP 1 078 684 A1 discloses an ordered packing for separation columns which has profiled layers and channels arranged in them.
  • the channels are oriented obliquely to a main flow direction.
  • the layers are formed into a profile from film-like and fabric-like material strips.
  • the invention proposes a packing of the type mentioned at the outset, which is characterized in that the fine profiling has ribs running transversely to the flow channels with rib webs and rib grooves, a rib groove being arranged between two adjacent rib webs, the transitions are formed between successive rib webs and rib grooves essentially free of radii.
  • the fine profiling formed on the large surfaces of the film elements is formed according to the invention as ribbing.
  • the ribbing runs transversely to the flow channels of the film elements.
  • ribbing can be provided which runs parallel to the input or output edge of the film elements.
  • the ribbing has rib webs on the one hand and rib grooves on the other hand, a rib groove being arranged between two adjacent rib webs. This results in an alternating arrangement of rib webs and rib grooves in the longitudinal direction of the film elements.
  • the transitions between rib webs and rib grooves that follow one another in the longitudinal direction of the film elements or in the transverse direction of the ribs are formed essentially free of radii.
  • “essentially” means a design without transition radii, provided that it is possible in particular from a production point of view. According to the invention, it is therefore important to avoid transition radii between the successive rib webs and rib grooves, so that the result is a "sharp-edged" configuration.
  • transition radii between rib webs and rib grooves is therefore provided according to the prior art in order to be able to better remove the film elements, which are mostly made of a plastic material, from a molding tool. It was not recognized that transition radii minimize the barrier effect of fine profiling, which has a positive effect on the efficiency of a packing, and thus promote the formation of a laminar flow.
  • the sharp edges of both the rib webs and the rib grooves which are now provided according to the invention as a departure from the prior art, provide a remedy here, since as a result of this structural design, turbulent flow conditions develop during operation, which causes an improved mixing of the two media involved, which ultimately leads to leads to an increased heat exchange.
  • a disadvantage of the sharp-edged design of the transitions between rib webs and rib grooves provided according to the invention is that the gas-side, i.e. increased air-side pressure loss. This results in an increased energy expenditure for the fan for conveying the cooling air flowing through the pack.
  • this disadvantage is deliberately accepted.
  • the construction according to the invention achieves an overall increased overall efficiency. This has significant advantages for the operation of corresponding systems in a wide variety of branches of industry in the form of smaller and thus more cost-effective systems and overall lower total operating costs.
  • the corrugations provide inclined flow channels in the longitudinal direction of the film elements, preferably zig-zag flow channels, the film elements being arranged alternately in the thickness direction so that the flow channels of adjacent film elements extend with opposite inclinations and under Cross training of the points of contact.
  • the flow channels are not aligned in a straight line in the longitudinal direction of the film elements, but rather inclined thereto.
  • a zigzag configuration is preferred.
  • the inclination of the flow channels to the vertical has the positive effect that a flow path that is lengthened in relation to the height extension of the packing according to the invention results, which results in an improved heat exchange.
  • the width of a rib web in particular the width of the plateau terminating a rib web on the upper side, can serve as a reference variable for the design of the transition radii. It is therefore proposed according to a further feature of the invention that the transition radii are formed ⁇ 20%, preferably ⁇ 10%, even more preferably ⁇ 5% of the rib web plateau width of the associated rib web. If the rib web plateau width measures, for example, 5 mm, the result is a transition radius of preferably ⁇ 0.5 mm, even more preferably of ⁇ 0.25 mm.
  • transition radii The smaller the selected transition radii, the slower the demolding speed can be when a film element is demolded from the mold during manufacture. This disadvantage is consciously accepted with the design according to the invention, since the later efficiency of the film element formed in this way is significantly improved compared to the prior art. For manufacturing reasons, a transition radius of zero cannot be achieved. “Essentially” within the meaning of the invention therefore means that the transition radii are to be designed as small as possible when using conventional manufacturing processes. The more "sharp-edged" the rib design, the clearer the effect of a turbulent flow in normal operation.
  • a rib groove has a groove depth of 2.0 mm to 3.0 mm, preferably 2.2 mm to 2.8 mm, even more preferably 2.4 mm to 2.6 mm, most preferably 2.5 mm.
  • a groove depth in the specified range achieves an optimized degree of efficiency. If the groove depth falls significantly smaller or significantly larger, then flow effects occur on the rib webs and / or the rib grooves in normal operation, which oppose an effective heat and / or mass transfer between the media involved.
  • a rib groove has a groove width of 4.0 mm to 6.0 mm, preferably of 5.0 mm.
  • the large surfaces of the film elements facing one another with fine profiling as comprehensively as possible in the sense of the invention.
  • only some areas of the large surfaces of the film elements are to be left out, such as, for example, the input and output end regions of the film elements.
  • a further feature of the invention can provide that the inclination of the flow channels to the vertical in the final assembled state is ⁇ 22 °, preferably between 19 ° and 15 °, even more preferably 17 °.
  • the inclination of the flow channels to the vertical has the positive effect of lengthening the total flow path to be covered, which also results in improved heat and / or mass transfer.
  • the greater the inclination to the vertical the greater the pressure loss that occurs in the air flow during operation. In the manner already described, this leads to an inevitably necessary increase in the fan output, which has a negative effect on the overall energy balance.
  • the aim is basically to have the flow channels parallel in To run in the longitudinal direction, which then again leads to a deteriorated heat and / or mass transfer due to the shortened flow path.
  • the fine profiling according to the invention makes it possible to bring these conflicting interests into an optimized balance with one another. This enables increased heat and / or mass transfer, so that in order to minimize the pressure loss in the cooling air it is possible to make the angle of inclination of the flow channels to the vertical smaller than usual, namely smaller than 20 °. This was not to be expected against the background of the known prior art.
  • the groove depth averaged over the groove width is preferred as the groove depth in the context of the invention.
  • the groove depth with reference to the groove width in the middle of the groove can be used as a reference value.
  • the end regions of a film element which are opposite one another in the longitudinal direction are designed without fine profiling.
  • grooves running obliquely to the longitudinal extension of the film elements are formed. These grooves are preferably formed in the film elements on the liquid inlet side and the liquid outlet side of the pack. They serve in particular to allow the liquid to flow out of the pack after flowing through the pack in an improved manner and to allow it to drip off. As a result of this measure, a reduced pressure loss on the gas or air side is also achieved.
  • two channels are provided for each flow channel, which are aligned with one another in a V-shape.
  • the liquid film that forms on the inner side walls of the flow channels in the intended use can thus flow off better on the outlet side without the formation of liquid waves that would create an increased resistance to the air flowing in the opposite direction, as is the case with the prior art.
  • This improved outflow or dripping effect can also be supported by the fact that the two channels open into a common outlet which is oriented in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the film elements. This results in structures similar to ⁇ on the outlet side of the flow channels, which results in an improved outflow of the liquid applied to the packing.
  • the mutually facing flow channels of adjacent film elements form a film or plate pair channel which has a hexagonal channel cross section on the inlet and outlet sides.
  • each film element provides a flow channel that is open on one side.
  • these flow channels of the individual film elements interact with the respective formation of a film pair channel.
  • the film pair channels preferably have a channel cross-section that is polygonal, preferably hexagonal.
  • the division dimension that is to say the height of each flow channel in the depth of the formation of the film element, is preferably 12 mm, 20 mm or 30 mm. This results in a channel width for a film pair channel of 24 mm, 40 mm or 60 mm on the input or output side of the pack, based on the film spacing or film division.
  • the corrugations of the film elements have a polygonal channel cross-section on the input or output side, preferably a hexagonal cross-section, the edge lengths of which are preferably of different lengths.
  • the corrugations of the film elements have a first strip section running in the longitudinal direction of the film elements and a second and third longitudinal strip arranged thereon along its respective longitudinal edges, the second and third strip sections being oriented at an incline to the first strip section.
  • the second and third strip sections are designed to be of equal width and each have a width that exceeds the width of the first strip section. So the smaller the short edge length, i.e.
  • the preferred ratio of short to long hexagonal sides i.e. the width ratio of the first strip section and the second strip section or third strip section is between 0.3 and 0.4, preferably 0.35. This results in a favorable for an optimized heat and mass transfer, i.e. as uniform as possible a thickness of the liquid film forming on the surfaces of the flow channels.
  • the width of the first strip section or the short edge length of the channel cross-section depends on the pitch, but is at least 5 mm. With a 20 division, for example, the edge length is between 8 mm and 12 mm, preferably 10 mm. If the short edge length, ie the width of the first strip section, is significantly below these value parameters, a comparatively narrow liquid channel is created, which in the case of operation leads to a collection of liquid in this Can lead channel and what reduces the overall effectiveness of the packing according to the invention.
