1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to an internal jet impingement type shell and tube heat exchanger, especially to an internal jet impingement type shell and tube heat exchanger in which the cooling jet tubes and the heating tubes are arranged together internally in the heat exchanger to conduct cooling by jet impingement in proximity area so as to increase heat transfer performance.
2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
So far, jet impingement cooling has been proved to be very efficient in cooling. However, it has been hardly seen in shell and tube heat exchanger due to the fact that liquid cooling medium is failed to impinge on the entire heat transfer surface, when the orifices are arranged on upper side of tube bundle. This will cause local dry-up effect on part of the heat transfer surface so that heat transfer efficiency becomes deteriorated. Generally, in a conventional prior art jet impingement cooling as shown in
In view of the above defect, inventor of the present invention has proposed a cooling medium collector, disclosed in Taiwanese Patent No. 344790, for the prevention of tube's dry-up as shown in
Encouraged by the success of the above liquid collector, inventor further proposes an internal jet impingement type shell and tube heat exchanger having its heat transfer performance superior than that of the above liquid collector, with a purpose to raise better heat transfer performance and attain higher heat flux.
The object of the present invention is to provide an internal jet impingement type shell and tube heat exchanger, characterized in that the orifices are arranged internally within the tube bundle so as to remarkably increase the heat transfer performance of the jet impingement type shell and tube heat exchanger.
In order to achieve the above object, an internal jet impingement type shell and tube heat exchanger of the present invention is provided in which the jet impingement cooling tubes and the heating tubes in shell and tube heat exchanger are formed either as a staggered tube bundle or as a square tube bundle, and the orifices on each cooling tube are provided according to the arrangement of tube bundle. Thus, the heat transfer performance of jet impingement type shell and tube heat exchanger is remarkably increased.
The features, objects and functions of the present invention will become more apparent by the detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Firstly referring to
The entire heating tubes and the jet cooling tubes are formed as a staggered tube bundle, the 1st row being provided as jet cooling tubes (12) which form triangular arrangement with the heating tubes (11) of the 2nd row, one jet cooling tube (12) being interposed between every two heating tubes (11) in the 3rd, 5th, 7th . . . rows, each jet cooling tube (12) being provided with orifices (121) directing to each adjacent heating tube (11).
Referring to
Further referring to
The heating tubes (11) and the jet cooling tubes (12) are arranged as a square tube bundle, and each jet cooling tubes (12) is provided with orifices (121) directing to each heating tube (11).
Referring to
Referring to
The abovementioned are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and should not be considered as a limitation on the structural aspect and dimension of the present invention. Equivalent variations and modifications made by the person skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention are still considered to be within the scope of claim of the present invention.
Based on the foregoing, the internal jet impingement type shell and tube heat exchanger of the present invention has the following advantages when compared with the prior art.
1. In the internal jet impingement type shell and tube heat exchanger of the present invention, jet cooling tubes and the heating tubes in shell and tube heat exchanger are formed either as a staggered tube bundle or as a square tube bundle, so as to greatly increase the heat transfer performance of jet impingement type shell and tube heat exchanger.
2. The present invention as abovementioned has excellent heat transfer performance and high heat flux.
3. As the present invention has abovementioned excellent heat transfer performance and high heat flux, market competiveness of the heat exchanger can be enhanced.
Summing up above, the present invention can reach expected effectiveness, and the specific structures disclosed herein have yet not seen in the prior art of the same category of product, even has not been opened to the public before application.
