Plate heat exchanger overview

1. Introduction to plate heat exchanger

The plate heat exchanger is a new type of high efficiency heat exchanger which is assembled from a series of metal sheets with a certain corrugated shape. A thin rectangular channel is formed between the various sheets, and heat exchange is performed through the half sheets. Compared with the conventional shell-and-tube heat exchanger, the heat transfer coefficient is much higher under the same flow resistance and pump power consumption, and there is a tendency to replace the shell-and-tube heat exchanger within the applicable range.

The types of plate heat exchangers are mainly frame type (detachable type) and brazed type. The plate form mainly consists of herringbone corrugated plate, horizontal straight corrugated plate and nodular plate.

1.1 Basic structure of plate heat exchanger

The plate heat exchanger is mainly composed of two parts: a frame and a plate.

Sheets Sheets made of various materials are pressed into corrugations of various shapes by various types of abrasive tools, and angular holes are formed in the four corners of the sheet for the flow path of the medium. The periphery of the plate and the corner hole are sealed with a rubber gasket.

The frame is composed of a fixed pressing plate, a movable pressing plate, upper and lower guide bars, and clamping bolts.

The plate heat exchanger is formed by superimposing the plates in the middle of the fixed pressing plate and the movable pressing plate, and then clamping them with clamping bolts.

1.2 Characteristics of plate heat exchanger (comparison of plate heat exchanger and shell-and-tube heat exchanger)

a. High heat transfer coefficient Because different corrugated plates are inverted with each other, a complicated flow path is formed, so that the fluid flows in a three-dimensional flow in the flow path between the corrugated plates, and can be generated at a low Reynolds number (generally Re=50-200). Turbulent flow, so the heat transfer coefficient is high, generally considered to be 3 to 5 times the shell-and-tube type.

b. The logarithmic mean temperature difference is large, and the terminal temperature difference is small. In the shell-and-tube heat exchanger, the two fluids flow in the tube and shell processes respectively, which is generally a cross-flow flow, and the logarithmic mean temperature difference correction coefficient is small, and the plate type The heat exchangers are mostly cocurrent or countercurrent flow modes, and the correction coefficient is usually about 0.95. In addition, the flow of cold and hot fluids in the plate heat exchanger is parallel to the heat exchange surface and there is no bypass flow, thus making the plate heat exchanger The temperature difference at the end of the device is small, the heat exchange for water can be lower than 1 ° C, and the shell-and-tube heat exchanger is generally 5 ° C.

c. The small-plate heat exchanger covers a compact structure, and the heat exchange area per unit volume is 2~5 times that of the shell-and-tube type. It is not the same as the shell-and-shell type, and the inspection and repair place for the extracted tube bundle is reserved. The heat exchange capacity, the plate heat exchanger covers an area of ​​about 1/5~1/10 of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger.

d. It is easy to change the heat exchange area or process combination. As long as several plates are added or reduced, the purpose of increasing or decreasing the heat exchange area can be achieved. By changing the plate arrangement or replacing several plates, the required process combination can be achieved. To adapt to the new heat exchange conditions, the heat transfer area of ​​the shell-and-tube heat exchanger is almost impossible to increase.

e. The thickness of the light-weight plate heat exchanger is only 0.4~0.8mm, while the thickness of the heat exchange tube of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger is 2.0~2.5mm, and the shell-and-shell type is more than the plate heat exchanger. The frame is much heavier, and the plate heat exchanger is generally only about 1/5 of the shell-shell weight.

f. The price is low and the same material is used. Under the same heat exchange area, the price of the plate heat exchanger is about 40%~60% lower than that of the shell and tube type.

g. The heat transfer plates for making convenient plate heat exchangers are stamped, highly standardized, and can be mass-produced. Shell-and-tube heat exchangers are generally hand-made.

h. Easy to clean the frame type plate heat exchanger As long as the compression bolt is loosened, the plate bundle can be loosened and the plate can be removed for mechanical cleaning, which is very convenient for the heat exchange process of the equipment to be cleaned frequently.

i. Heat Loss Small plate heat exchanger Only the outer plate of the heat transfer plate is exposed to the atmosphere, so the heat loss is negligible and no heat preservation measures are required. The shell-and-tube heat exchanger has a large heat loss and requires a heat insulating layer.

j. The smaller capacity is 10%~20% of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger.

k. The pressure loss per unit length is large due to the small gap between the heat transfer surfaces, and the heat transfer surface has irregularities, so the pressure loss is larger than that of the conventional smooth tube.

l. It is not easy to scale. Because it is fully turbulent inside, it is not easy to scale. The fouling coefficient is only 1/3~1/10 of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger.

m. The working pressure should not be too large, the medium temperature should not be too high, it is possible to leak the plate heat exchanger with a gasket seal, the working pressure should generally not exceed 2.5MPa, the medium temperature should be below 250 °C, otherwise it may leak.

n. Easy to block because the channel between the plates is very narrow, generally only 2~5mm. When the heat exchange medium contains large particles or fibrous substances, it is easy to block the passage between the plates.

l. Others: petroleum, medicine, ship, seawater desalination, geothermal utilization.

1.5 should pay attention to the selection of plate heat exchanger

1.5.1 Board type selection

The plate type or corrugated type should be determined according to the actual needs of the heat exchange occasion. For the case where the flow rate is large and the pressure drop is small, the plate type with low resistance should be selected, and the plate type with large resistance should be selected. Depending on the fluid pressure and temperature, it is determined whether the detachable or brazed type is selected. When determining the plate type, it is not suitable to select the plate with too small a single plate area, so as to avoid too many plates, the flow velocity between the plates is too small, and the heat transfer coefficient is too low. This problem should be paid more attention to the larger heat exchanger.

1.5.2 Process and runner selection

The process refers to a set of parallel flow channels in a plate heat exchanger with the same direction of motion, and the flow channel refers to a medium flow channel composed of two adjacent plates in the plate heat exchanger. In general, several flow passages are connected in parallel or in series to form different combinations of cold and heat medium passages.

The process combination should be calculated based on heat transfer and fluid resistance and determined to meet process conditions. Try to make the convective heat transfer coefficient in the cold and hot water flow channels equal or close, so as to get good heat transfer effect. The heat transfer coefficient obtains a larger value because the convective heat transfer coefficients on both sides of the heat transfer surface are equal or close. Although the flow rates between the plates of the plate heat exchanger are not equal, the calculation is based on the average flow rate in the calculation of heat transfer and fluid resistance. Since the "U"-shaped single-flow nozzle is fixed on the pressing plate, the disassembly and assembly is convenient.

1.5.3 Pressure drop check

In the design and selection of the plate heat exchanger, there is a certain requirement for the pressure drop, so it should be checked. If the check pressure drop exceeds the allowable pressure drop, the design selection calculation must be repeated until the process requirements are met.

Structural principle

The detachable plate heat exchanger is formed by a plurality of stamped corrugated sheets at regular intervals, surrounded by gaskets, and pressed by a frame and a compression screw. The four corner holes of the plates and the gasket form a fluid. The piping and the collecting tube are simultaneously separated from each other reasonably, so that they flow in the flow paths on both sides of each of the sheets, and heat exchange is performed through the sheets.
