FIELD: mechanics, heating.
SUBSTANCE: in compliance with the invention, the heat exchanger-modular water heater incorporates one or two modules each comprising, at least, two heat exchanger units integrated by a diffuser to feed a cooling medium and a confuser to withdraw the medium to be cooled, primarily, a turbine hot exhaust gas. It also comprises the manifolds feeding and withdrawing the medium being heated, primarily, air, each communicating, via a tube plate, with, at least, one multi-row bank of multipass heat exchange pipes, the various pipes being furnished with bends varying in number from four to six and forming four rectilinear runs combining their three bends. Note here that the spacing in, at least, one direction, within the band cross section, of a part of the pipes or within their limits, or of, at least, one bank of the pipes out coming from the medium feed manifold, or, at least, in one of the next runs in the same direction does not comply with that of the pipes or a part of them in their bank run right nearby the manifold withdrawing the medium being heated and/or in one of the previous bank runs. The unit of the heat exchange-modular air heater comprises four runs of the heat exchanger pipe multi-row four-pass bank, the said pipes being laid in horizontal rows spaced in horizontal and vertical planes, the manifolds feeding and withdrawing the medium being heated, each being connected, via separate tube plates, with heat exchanger pipes, each tube plate being mounted in the aforesaid manifold walls. Note here that the spacing in, at least, one direction, within the band cross section, of a part of the pipes or within their limits, or of, at least, one bank of the pipes out coming from the medium feed manifold, or, at least, in one of the next runs in the same direction does not comply with that of the pipes or a part of them in their bank run right nearby the manifold withdrawing the medium being heated and/or in one of the previous bank runs. In compliance with the proposed invention, the aforesaid heat exchanger unit-modular air heater comprises a carcass, a bottom, and upper and lower casing walls, a diffuser to feed the medium to be cooled and a confuser to feed the aforesaid medium, manifolds feeding and withdrawing the medium to be heated and furnished with tube plates that form, in every row, an even number of rectilinear multi-pipe banks including, at least, two inner and two outer banks integrated by constant-radius bends. Note here that the unit housing bottom, cover and one of the side walls represent panels with a reinforcement framing elements forming a flat rod systems, while the unit carcass is formed by a set of the aforesaid flat rod systems with intermediate posts inter jointing the aforesaid systems and the manifolds housings rigidly fixed thereto and, in their turn, attached to the unit bottom and inter jointed via two-ring diaphragms and a pipe medium displacer. Note that the parts of the aforesaid manifolds housings with the aforesaid tube plates and pipe medium displacer fitted therein form, when combined, the unit housing rigid face wall while the side walls allow fastening the diffuser and confuser elements. Note here also that the spacing in, at least, one direction, within the band cross section, of a part of the pipes or within their limits, or of, at least, one bank of the pipes out coming from the medium feed manifold, or, at least, in one of the next runs in the same direction does not comply with that of the pipes or a part of them in their bank run right nearby the manifold withdrawing the medium being heated and/or in one of the previous bank runs. In compliance with this invention, the aforesaid heat exchanger unit-modular air heater incorporates a multi-row heat exchanger pipe bank made up of, at least, two bundles of two-pass U-pipes forming, within one bundle, two-run horizontal rows of pipes spaced apart both in rows and between rows, manifolds of feeding and withdrawing the medium being heated and, at least one bypass chamber arranged there between. Note here that the aforesaid manifolds and the bypass chamber communicate with the heat exchanger pipes via a common tube plate or separate tube plates, at least, one part of the said plates forming a part of the aforesaid manifolds enclosure walls. Note also here that the spacing in, at least, one direction, within the band cross section, of a part of the pipes or within their limits, or of, at least, one bank of the pipes out coming from the medium feed manifold, or, at least, in one of the next runs in the same direction does not comply with that of the pipes or a part of them in their bank run right nearby the manifold withdrawing the medium being heated and/or in one of the previous bank runs.
EFFECT: higher heat exchange efficiency, lower metal intensity of regenerative air heater.
