  • Publication number: 20220196331
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger (1) for the indirect transfer of heat between a first and at least one second medium (M, M?), having a jacket space (I) for receiving the first medium (M), a core pipe (20) arranged in the jacket space (I), a pipe bundle (15) arranged in the jacket space (I), which bundle comprises a plurality of pipes (10) which are each wound around the core pipe (20) such that the pipe bundle (15) has a plurality of pipe layers arranged on top of each other (100, 101, 102, 103) which each comprise at least one pipe (10), a pipe bundle gap (200, 201, 202, 203) being present between all the adjacent pipe layers (100, 101; 101, 102; . . . ) and a plurality of spacers (30) being arranged in each pipe bundle gap (200, 201, 202, 203) to support the pipe layers (100, 101, 102, 103).

  • Patent number: 11236945
    Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a core tube extending in a shell space, several tubes wound around the core tube, and a liquid distributor. The liquid distributor is arranged above the tubes in the shell space and applies a liquid phase of a first medium to the tubes. The liquid distributor has distributor arms projecting in the radial direction from the core tube, an annular channel extending above the distributor arms in a circumferential direction of the shell and a collector tank formed by the core tube. The annular channel and the collector tank are each designed to collect the first medium. The distributor arms form at least one first container and at least one second container separated from the first container.

  • Publication number: 20200318912
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger (1), comprising: a shell (2) surrounding a shell space (3) of the heat exchanger (1), wherein the shell space (3) is designed to receive a fluid first medium (M); a core tube (4) extending in the shell space (3); a tube bundle (5) having several tubes (50) wound around the core tube (4), wherein the tube bundle (5) is designed to receive at least one fluid second medium (M?) so that heat can be transferred indirectly between the first medium (M) and the at least one second medium (M?); and a liquid distributor (6), arranged above the tube bundle (5) in the shell space (3), for applying a liquid phase (F) of the first medium (M) to the tube bundle (5), wherein the liquid distributor (6) has distributor arms (60) projecting in the radial direction (R) from the core tube (3); an annular channel (61) extending above the distributor arms (60) in a circumferential direction (U) of the shell (2), and a collector tank (62) formed by the core tube (4), wherein the annular chan

  • Publication number: 20150285561
    Abstract: A helically coiled heat exchanger with a plurality of inlets each connected to at least one assigned tube defining a heating surface of the heat exchanger and having at least one changeover means to switch the inlet between a first operating state and a second operating state. In the first operating state, a stream of a first medium and, in the second operating state, a stream of a second medium is introduced via the inlet into the assigned tube. In the first operating state more heating surface is available to the stream of the first medium and correspondingly less heating surface is available to the stream of the second medium. In the second operating state more heating surface is available to the stream of the second medium and correspondingly less heating surface is available to the stream of the first medium.
