TECHNICAL FIELD

The technical field relates to heat exchanger with recuperating and condensing functions, a heat cycling system and a heat exchanging method.

BACKGROUND

Power generation market using middle and low grade waste heat has gained rapid growth in recent years. Of the currently available power generation technologies using middle and low grade waste heat, organic rankine cycle (ORC) technology is most matured and cost-effective. ORC is a closed heat engine cycling system, and its key components and principles of operation thereof are as follows: (1) A working fluid booster pump: boosting a liquid working fluid and feeding the liquid working fluid into an evaporator to be heated therein. (2) An evaporator: absorbing the thermal energy from the heat source to vaporize the working fluid. (3) An expander/a turbine and a power generator: converting the thermal energy and pressure energy of the working fluid into shaft power of the expander for the power generator to generate power. (4) A condenser: condensing a vapor working fluid after work-done into a liquid working fluid and sending the liquid working fluid to an inlet of the working fluid booster pump to complete the heat engine cycle.

A working fluid inside an ORC loop is boosted by a pump, evaporated by an evaporator, work-done by an expander, and liquefied by a condenser so as to complete a closed heat engine cycle. The thermal energy of the hot stream from the heat source is transferred to the working fluid through the evaporator. Inside the evaporator, the thermal energy of the hot stream is absorbed by a heat transfer medium (such as a heat transfer pipe of a shell and tube type heat exchanger or a heat transfer plate of a plate type heat exchanger). The hot stream, having been dissipated by the evaporator, flows to an external environment through a hot stream outlet of the evaporator. The hot stream can be directly discharged or reused depending on the temperature and flow rate of the hot stream in the outlet.

However, if the temperature of the vapor working fluid, having done work, is too high, more heat capacity of the condenser will be needed. On the other hand, if the temperature of the liquid working fluid whose pressure has been booted is too low, more heat capacity of the evaporator will be needed. Consequently, thermal efficiency cannot be effectively increased.

SUMMARY

The disclosure is directed to a heat exchanger with recuperating and condensing functions and a heat cycling system achieving superior thermal energy utilization and recovery efficiency and capable of reducing the requirement of the heat capacity of the heat exchanger.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. It will be apparent, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are schematically shown in order to simplify the drawing.

In an exemplary example of this embodiment, a heat exchanger with recuperating and condensing functions is used to heat the liquid working fluid at a high pressure side and at the same time cool the vapor working fluid at a low pressure side. For instance, before a liquid working fluid, has been pressure-boosted by a pump, flows into the evaporator, the liquid working fluid flows into a recuperating pipe to absorb the thermal energy so that the temperature of the sub-cooled liquid working fluid is increased and the requirement of the heat capacity (or heat transfer area) of the evaporator is reduced. In addition, before the low pressure vapor working fluid, after work-done, is condensed, the low pressure vapor working fluid releases partial thermal energy to lower the temperature of the vapor working fluid so that the requirement of the heat capacity (or heat transfer area) of the condenser is reduced. By doing so, the requirements of the heat capacity of the evaporator and the condenser can be reduced at the same time.

In an embodiment, the heat exchanger has recuperating and condensing functions, and requires one pressure vessel. If the recuperator and the condenser are separately disposed, apart from the installation cost, additional certification cost for pressure vessel would incur because the recuperator belongs to one type of pressure vessel.

In an embodiment, the pressure vessel has a baffle, which divides the interior of the pressure vessel into a working fluid recuperating region and a working fluid condensing region. The vapor working fluid transfers the thermal energy to the sub-cooled liquid working fluid in the working fluid recuperating region whose function is like a recuperator. Then, the vapor working fluid transfers the thermal energy to an external cooling stream in the working fluid condensing region whose function is like a condenser. Since the heat transfer of recuperated working fluid and the heat transfer of condensed working fluid are both performed in the pressure vessel and are divided by a baffle, both the required pipe length for exchanging the heat and the installation cost of the heat exchanger are reduced.

Referring to FIG. 1, a heat exchanger with recuperating and condensing functions according to an embodiment is shown. The heat exchanger 101 comprises a pressure vessel 110, a recuperating pipe 120 and a cooling stream pipe 130. The pressure vessel 110 has an inlet 111, an outlet 112 and a baffle 113. The baffle 113, located between the inlet 111 and the outlet 112, divides the interior of the pressure vessel 110 into a working fluid recuperating region 110a and a working fluid condensing region 110b. In this embodiment, the baffle 113 is disposed for providing the heat exchanger 101 with recuperating and condensing functions. Since only one pressure vessel 110 is required, the installation cost of the heat exchanger 101 can thus be reduced.

In an embodiment, the pressure vessel 110 has a first terminal plate 114 and a second terminal plate 115. The two terminal plates are connected to an inner wall of the pressure vessel 110. One terminal of the baffle 113 is fixed on the second terminal plate 115 and the baffle 113 is disposed perpendicular to the second terminal plate 115. The other terminal of the baffle 113 is not connected to the first terminal plate 114 to form a passage outlet 117 between the working fluid recuperating region 110a and the working fluid condensing region 110b. After the vapor working fluid Fp flows into the pressure vessel 110 via the inlet 111, the vapor working fluid Fp firstly flows through the working fluid recuperating region 110a and then flows into the working fluid condensing region 110b via the passage outlet 117.

Referring to FIG. 1, the recuperating pipe 120, disposed in the pressure vessel 110, passes through the working fluid recuperating region 110a to heat a liquid working fluid Fq flowing through the recuperating pipe 120. In an embodiment, the recuperating pipe 120, such as a straight pipe, a wavy pipe or a spiral pipe, is fixed on the first terminal plate 114 and the second terminal plate 115 and is connected between the pump 170 and the evaporator 160 (referring to FIG. 2). Therefore, the vapor working fluid Fp transfers the thermal energy to the sub-cooled liquid working fluid Fq in the working fluid recuperating region 110a whose function is like a recuperator.

Before the liquid working fluid Fq, has been boosted by the pump 170, flows into the evaporator 160, the liquid working fluid Fq flows into the recuperating pipe 120 to absorb the thermal energy and increase the temperature of the liquid working fluid so that the requirement of the heat capacity (or heat transfer area) of the evaporator 160 can be reduced.

Referring to FIG. 1, a plurality of deflectors 140 may be configured in the interior of the pressure vessel 110 and disposed in the working fluid recuperating region 110a and arranged at intervals to form a channel 116, such as an S-shaped channel or a spiral-shaped channel, via which the vapor working fluid Fp passes through the deflectors 140. In an embodiment, the deflectors 140 are disposed for increasing the heat transfer area between the recuperating pipe 120 and the vapor working fluid Fp in the channel 116 and reducing the velocity of the vapor working fluid Fp such that the vapor working fluid Fp can stay longer in the channel 116 and the efficiency of heat exchange can thus be increased.

The deflectors 140 can be directly disposed outside the recuperating pipe 120 and perpendicular to the recuperating pipe 120 for guiding the vapor working fluid Fp to flow along an outer side of the recuperating pipe 120. In an embodiment, the deflectors 140 comprise a plurality of first deflectors 141 and a plurality of second deflectors 142. The first deflectors 141 and the second deflectors 142 are staggered with each other to form an S-shaped channel. The first deflectors 141 are connected to the baffle 113 and perpendicular to the baffle 113. The first deflectors 141 are not connected to an inner wall of the pressure vessel 110 so that a plurality of first channel openings A can be formed. In addition, the second deflectors 142 are connected to an inner wall of the pressure vessel 110 and perpendicular to the inner wall. The second deflectors 142 are not connected to the baffle 113 so that a plurality of second channel openings B can be formed. The first channel openings A and the second channel openings B are staggered with each other and are located on two opposite sides of the channel to form an S-shaped channel. Therefore, the vapor working fluid Fp can pass through the deflectors 140 via the first channel openings A and the second channel openings B sequentially to transfer the thermal energy to a liquid working fluid Fq inside the recuperating pipe 120.

The disclosed first deflectors 141 and the second deflectors 142, such as semi-closed stoppers, control the flowing direction and the velocity of the vapor working fluid, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. For instance, the deflectors 140, such as perforated plates 140a or spiral deflectors 140b as indicated in FIGS. 4A and 4B, can achieve the same effect of controlling the flowing direction and the velocity of the vapor working fluid.

Furthermore, twisted tapes, wire coils, wire brushes or blocks can be added to the interior of the recuperating pipe 120 for ionizing the liquid working fluid and generating secondary flows, such that the liquid working fluid can stay longer in the recuperating pipe 120 and the efficiency of heat exchange can be increased. In another embodiment, particles such as nano metals can be added to the liquid working fluid for improving the efficiency of thermal energy absorption. The design of oscillating the liquid working fluid by using ultra-sound or increasing the turbulent disturbance capability by using a swinging wing can also be used in the heat exchanger 101 of the disclosure to increase the efficiency of heat exchange.

The baffle 113 has a passage outlet 117 located on one side of the channel 116 most farther away from the inlet 111. After releasing partial thermal energy in the channel, the vapor working fluid Fp flows into the working fluid condensing region 110b via the passage outlet 117. Referring to FIG. 1, the cooling stream pipe 130, disposed in the pressure vessel 110, passes through the working fluid condensing region 110b to cool the vapor working fluid Fp flowing into the pressure vessel 110. In an embodiment, the cooling stream pipe 130, which can be a straight pipe, a wavy pipe or a spiral pipe, is fixed on the first terminal plate 114 and the second terminal plate 115. Moreover, the vapor working fluid Fp transfers the thermal energy to an external cooling stream C in the working fluid condensing region 110b whose function is like a condenser.

Before the high temperature vapor working fluid Fp is condensed, the high temperature vapor working fluid Fp releases partial thermal energy to lower the temperature of the vapor working fluid Fp, so that the requirement of the heat capacity (or heat transfer area) of the condenser can be reduced.

In an embodiment, the disclosed deflectors 140 can be used in the working fluid condensing region 110b to form a channel in the working fluid condensing region 110b, wherein the channel is similar to of the channel 116 as shown in FIG. 1. The arrangement of deflectors is disclosed above, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. The deflectors can be perforated plates, semi-closed stoppers or spiral deflectors. For instance, the deflectors can be directly disposed outside the cooling stream pipe 130 and perpendicular to the cooling stream pipe 130 for guiding the vapor working fluid Fp to flow along an outer side of the cooling stream pipe 130.

Furthermore, twisted tapes, wire coils, wire brushes or blocks can be added to the interior of the cooling stream pipe 130 for ionizing the cooling stream and generating secondary flows, such that the cooling stream can stay longer in the cooling stream pipe 130 and the efficiency of heat exchange can be increased. In another embodiment, particles such as nano metals can be added to a cooling stream for improving the efficiency of thermal energy absorption. The design of oscillating the cooling stream by using ultra-sound or increasing the turbulent disturbance capability by using a swinging wing can also be used in the heat exchanger 101 of the disclosure to increase the efficiency of heat exchange.

Referring to FIG. 2, a heat cycling system 100 according to an embodiment is shown. The heat cycling system 100 comprises a heat exchanger 101 with recuperating and condensing functions, an evaporator 160, a power generation module 150 and a pump 170. The function of the heat exchanger 101 is equivalent to that of a recuperator and a condenser. The evaporator 160 heats the working fluid F up to a vapor state. The power generation module 150 is connected to an outlet of the evaporator 160 through a first pipe 131, and is connected to an inlet of the pressure vessel 110 through a second pipe 132. Besides, the pump 170 is connected to an outlet of the pressure vessel 110 through a third pipe 133, and is connected to an inlet of the recuperating pipe 120 through a fourth pipe 134 to form a closed cycle with recuperating function. Therefore, the heat cycling system 100 can be realized by a closed heat engine cycling system with heat recycling function.

The working fluid used in the ORC system can be formed by organic compounds (such as refrigerants or hydrocarbons etc.) having low boiling point under an atmospheric pressure, and can be heated by a diversity of middle and low grade heat sources such as industrial waste heat, geothermal, hot springs or solar energy. Therefore, the working fluid, having been evaporated, vaporized and converted into a vapor state from a liquid state inside the evaporator 160, is guided to the power generation module 150 to do work and generate power.

In a super low temperature ORC power generating system, room temperature water (or surface seawater) can be used as a heat source to heat the working fluid which uses liquid gas, liquid nitrogen or liquid oxygen as a cooling stream. Therefore, the working fluid, having been evaporated and vaporized inside the evaporator 160, is guided to the power generation module 150 to do work and generate power.

The disclosed power generator module 150 can be composed of an expander 151 (such as turbine, screw expander, scroll expander) and a power generator 152. Referring to FIG. 2, in an embodiment, the thermal energy and pressure of the working fluid F in a high-temperature vapor state can be converted into a shaft power of the expander 151. Then, the mechanic energy generated from the expansion of the working fluid is inputted to the power generator 152 for generating power. In addition, after the work is done, the working fluid F flows through the heat exchanger 101 with recuperating and condensing functions to release partial thermal energy, and the cooling stream C in the cooling stream pipe 130 absorbs residual thermal energy of the vapor working fluid and condenses as a liquid working fluid. Then, the pump 170 boosts the pressure of the liquid working fluid and pumps the working fluid to the evaporator 160 to be heated by the thermal energy released from the heat source H. Thus, a heat cycling system is formed.

The disposition of the baffle 113, the deflectors 140, the recuperating pipe 120 and the cooling stream pipe 130 of the heat exchanger 101 and the design of the channel are disclosed with reference to FIG. 1 and relevant descriptions. Descriptions of the heat exchanging method used in above embodiments are disclosed below. Referring to FIG. 3, a flowchart of a heat exchanging method according to an embodiment of the disclosure is shown. Firstly, the method begins at step 301, a pressure vessel 110 comprising a recuperating pipe 120, a cooling stream pipe 130 and a baffle 113 is provided. The baffle 113 divides the interior of the pressure vessel 110 into a working fluid recuperating region 110a and a working fluid condensing region 110b, the recuperating pipe 120 passes through the working fluid recuperating region 110a, and the cooling stream pipe 130 passes through the working fluid condensing region 110b. In step 302, a vapor working fluid Fp is introduced into the pressure vessel 110 to heat a liquid working fluid Fq flowing through the recuperating pipe 120. In step 303, the vapor working fluid Fp is guided to flow into the working fluid condensing region 110b form the working fluid recuperating region 110a. In step 304, the vapor working fluid Fp is guided to pass through the working fluid condensing region 110b to cool the vapor working fluid Fp to a liquid state.

It can be known from the disclosed heat exchanging method that the vapor working fluid Fp transfers the thermal energy to the recuperating pipe 120 in the working fluid recuperating region 110a and then transfers the thermal energy to an external cooling stream C in the working fluid condensing region 110b. Since the heat transfer of recuperated working fluid and the heat transfer of condensed working fluid are both performed in the pressure vessel 110 and are divided by a baffle 113, both the required pipe length for exchanging the heat and the installation cost of the heat exchanger 101 are reduced. Besides, since only one pressure vessel 110 is required, the certification cost of pressure vessel 110 can also be reduced.

According to the heat exchanger 101 with recuperating and condensing functions and the heat cycling system and the heat exchanging method disclosed in above embodiments, the functions of recuperator and condenser are integrated in one single heat exchanger 101, not only achieving superior thermal energy utilization and recovery efficiency, but also reducing the requirements of the heat capacity of evaporator 160 and condenser and increasing heat cycling efficiency. Therefore, the disclosure has excellent performance in practical application.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the disclosed embodiments. It is intended that the specification and examples be considered as exemplary only, with a true scope of the disclosure being indicated by the following claims and their equivalents.
