HEAT EXCHANGER CONSTRUCTIVE ARRANGEMENT

Abstract

A heat exchanger constructive arrangement including a quadrangular based vertical vessel with inlet and output ducts and removable lid having heat exchange elements supported by parallel plates and vertically arranged in the form of a comb that interleave with existing baffles in the container, forming a chicane which forces the fluid to be heated to maintain contact with the entire surface of heat exchange.

Claims

1. A heat exchanger constructive arrangement comprising: a quadrangular based vertical vessel having an inlet and an output ducts; a lid that has heat exchange elements arranged over flat parallel plates distributed vertically in the form of a comb; the heat exchange elements communicate with collectors external to the lid; baffles connected to the vessel, the baffles interleave with the heat exchange elements producing a chicane.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0011] FIG. 1 shows a perspective front view of the heat exchanger according to the present invention having the lid closed;

[0012] FIG. 2 shows a perspective front view of the lid of the heat exchanger according to FIG. 1;

[0013] FIG. 3 shows a perspective front view of the vessel of the heat exchanger according to FIG. 1;

[0014] FIG. 4 shows a cross sectional view of the heat exchanger of FIG. 1 take along line A-A; and

[0015] FIG. 5 shows a cross sectional view of the heat exchanger of FIG. 3 take along line B-B.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] Within the drawings we have on FIG. 1) the container (1) with lid (2) when closed. FIG. 2) shows the lid (2) removed from the container (1), this lid (2) features heat exchange elements (3) supported by plates (4) attached in any way, such as weld, forming an integral part of the lid.

[0017] The elements (3) receive the thermal fluid (hot oil, steam, for example) through the inlet collector (5) and exits through a collector output (6) thus, promoting proper circulation.

[0018] FIG. 3) shows the container (1) provided with baffles (7) which make up the chicane.

[0019] FIG. 4) shows section (AA) of the enclosed heat exchanger and the flow of the product to be heated entering the inlet duct (8) and out through the outlet duct (9) The arrows show the flow direction of product to be heated travelling through the chicane.

[0020] FIG. 5) shows section (BB) of the container with baffles (7).
