HEAT EXCHANGER DEVICE FOR THE PROVISION OF REFRIGERATION IN REFRIGERATED VEHICLES, THE MOTOR VEHICLE ENGINE OF WHICH IS OPERATED BY LNG
20210379967 · 2021-12-09 · ·

A heat exchanger device provides refrigeration in refrigerated vehicles operated by liquefied natural gas (LNG) which must first be regasified. The great temperature difference between heat-discharging cooling chamber air and heat-absorbing LNG evaporating at up to −161° C. conducts the heat flow via an introduced intermediate medium circulating in a closed circuit to avert the risk of combustible natural gas leaking. The intermediate medium is non-combustible, environmentally-benign liquid heat exchange media having low viscosity. The liquid heat exchange media operating temperature is kept above −85° C. using an additional thermal resistance in the heat exchanger which evaporates the LNG, so that the heat flow flows with sufficient temperature drop. A thin protective dry gas layer formed using sheathing tubes enclosing a tubular heat exchanger's tubes coaxially serves as this thermal resistance. Possibly escaping natural gas is determined by monitoring pressure in the layer, and the LNG supply interrupted.

HIGH-TEMPERATURE FLUID TRANSPORTING PIPELINE WITH HEAT EXCHANGE APPARATUS INSTALLED THEREIN, SUITABLE HEAT EXCHANGE APPARATUS AND HEAT EXCHANGE METHOD

The present invention discloses a high-temperature fluid transporting pipeline with a heat exchange apparatus installed therein, a suitable heat exchange apparatus and a heat exchange method, wherein heat contained in a high-temperature fluid can be recovered during the transportation thereof. The heat exchange apparatus comprises a heat exchange body inserted into the high-temperature fluid transporting pipeline, and a heat-receiving fluid coil installed therein. The method of heat exchange is that the high-temperature fluid heats an auxiliary fluid in a heat exchange cavity via a heat exchange panel of the heat exchange body in contact therewith, and the heated auxiliary fluid then conducts the heat to a heat-receiving fluid in the heat-receiving fluid coil. As an example, the high-temperature fluid is flue gas generated by combustion, the heat exchange apparatus of the present invention is inserted into a flue gas transporting pipeline, the auxiliary fluid is an inert gas such as air, and the air heated indirectly by the high-temperature flue gas conducts heat to fuel and/or oxygen-enriched gas (serving as an oxidant/combustion aid) flowing in the heat-receiving fluid coil.
