FIELD: heating.
SUBSTANCE: invention is of relevance for operation of apparatus for air cooling of gas and is to be utilised in power engineering industry. The proposed method of the heat exchanger apparatus fabrication envisages the following activities: fabrication of finned heat exchange tubes, a framework, at least a single apparatus section with lateral walls and beams joining them together, gas inlet and outlet chambers; packing the section with a bundle of finned one-way-flow heat exchange tubes; fabrication of a manifold for gas supply and removal, a support structure and their assembly. The section walls are represented by channel bars with shelves turned towards the tubes and are equipped with fairing displacers forming the U-bar reinforcement ribs. One of the methods of the apparatus heat exchanger section fabrication envisages positioning an optimal number of tubes within the section in accordance with the dependence specified within the framework of the invention concept. An alternative method envisages assembly of the section elements on a holding frame designed within the framework of the invention concept. A third method envisages assembly of the elements in a specific sequence combined with performance of hydraulic pressure testing. The method of fabrication of the apparatus chamber for gas inlet or outlet envisages manufacture of the chamber elements and their assembly in a sequence developed within the framework of the invention concept. The method of fabrication of the gas delivery and removal manifold envisages manufacture of the manifold body sections and their assembly with the help of the tool tab designed within the framework of the invention concept. Method of hydraulic pressure testing of the apparatus sections envisages mounting the section to be tested on the hydraulic test bench designed within the framework of the invention concept with the pressure increase and drop modes as per the dependence given. Method of the manifold hydraulic pressure testing envisages it being mounted on the hydraulic test bench or a loft with the help of support structures designed within the framework of the invention concept.
EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness and precision of assembly of the apparatus and elements thereof combined with reduction of labour and material consumption, reduction of hydraulic losses occurring in the apparatus as well as technological simplification of the hydraulic pressure testing of heat exchanger sections and manifolds of the apparatus for air cooling of gas, improved effectiveness and reduced labour intensity of their performance.
