三螺旋折流板换热器多流路通道流动与传热数值模拟

为了增加大螺旋角下单位长度换热管上螺旋折流板数量提高换热,提出三螺旋折流板导流结构,对设置三螺旋折流板后壳程流体的流动与传热进行了数值模拟,重点考察了Reynolds数Re=1391~4174时的壳程压降及对流传热系数,与设置单螺旋折流板的对比结果表明:三螺旋折流板换热器壳程对流传热系数高27.9%,JF因子高13.67%,综合传热性能更好。在此基础上运用(火积)耗散理论分析了三螺旋折流板采取不同螺旋角时对换热效率的影响,发现由传热引起的(火积)耗散率随Reynolds数变化规律与壳程对流传热系数随Reynolds数的变化规律类似,相同流量条件下螺旋角为64.8°的换热器(火积)耗散率最小。另外,中心换热管与壳壁附近换热管的传热系数比较结果显示,中心管热交换量均低于壳壁附近换热管热交换量。

螺旋流动未充分发展段对换热器性能的影响

通过对不同螺旋角的螺旋折流板换热器壳程流体流动和传热进行研究,得出壳程进口未充分发展段的分布规律;并在考虑壳程结构特点的基础上,提出了一种新型变角度的螺旋折流板模型,改善壳程进口未充分发展段对换热器的影响。结果表明:换热器折流板的导流作用随着折流板螺旋角的增大而降低,螺旋角的增大使换热器壳程进口流体螺旋流动减弱,螺旋流动未充分发展段长度增加。变角度的螺旋折流板能够有效改善换热器壳程进口未充分发展段的作用,相同工况下通过优化变角度螺旋折流板α角,可使换热器壳程传热系数增加8.9%—9.1%,壳程压力损失增加5.8%—6.9%,综合性能增加6.6%—6.9%。计算结果为改进换热器螺旋折流板结构、强化换热器传热提供了理论依据。

Design and optimization of heat exchangers with helical baffles

The hydrodynamics and heat transfer characteristics of a heat exchanger with single-helical baffles are studied experimentally as well as numerically. A heat exchanger with two-layer helical baffles is designed by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. The comparisons of the performance of three heat exchangers with single-segment baffles, single-helical baffles and two-layer helical baffles, respectively, are presented in the paper. The experiment is carried out in counter-current flow pattern with hot oil in shell side and cold water in tube side. Overall heat transfer coefficients are calculated and heat transfer coefficients of shell side are determined by Wilson plots technique. It shows that the heat exchangers with helical baffles have higher heat transfer coefficient to the same pressure drop than that of the heat exchanger with segmental baffles based on the present numerical results, and the configuration of the two-layer helical baffles has better integrated performance than that of the single-helical baffles.

不同折流板结构螺旋折流板换热器传热性能的比较(英文)

Numerical simulations were performed on flow and heat transfer performances of heat exchangers having six helical baffles of different baffle shapes and assembly configurations, i.e., two trisection baffle schemes, two quadrant baffle schemes, and two continuous helical baffle schemes. The temperature contour or the pressure contour and velocity contour plots with superimposed velocity vectors on meridian, transverse and unfolded concentric hexagonal slices are presented to obtain a full angular view. For the six helix baffled heat exchangers, the different patterns of the single vortex secondary flow and the shortcut leakage flow were depicted as wel as the heat transfer properties were compared. The results show that the optimum scheme among the six configurations is a circumferential overlap trisection helix baffled heat exchanger with a baffle incline angle of 20° (20°TCO) scheme with an anti-shortcut baffle structure, which exhibits the second highest pressure dropΔpo, the highest overal heat transfer coefficient K, shel-side heat transfer coefficient ho and shel-side average comprehensive index ho/Δpo.     

单螺旋和双螺旋折流板换热器性能的研究

为了研究双螺旋结构对螺旋折流板换热器性能的影响及其与单螺旋结构的比较,利用热态试验和数值模拟方法,研究了四分之一扇形和三分之一扇形螺旋折流板换热器单、双螺旋结构的壳程传热和阻力性能.热态试验结果表明,单、双螺旋结构的壳程传热系数和压力损失均随流量的增大而提高.在相同流量下,双螺旋结构的壳程传热系数高于单螺旋结构,同时其壳程压力损失也有所增大.但随着流量的增加,双螺旋结构对应的单位压降下的传热性能与单螺旋基本一致.这说明双螺旋结构可以提高壳程传热性能,同时不会影响换热器的综合性能.因此在流体输送动力允许的条件下,双螺旋结构有利于设备处理能力的提高.数值模拟结果表明,由于折流板数量是单螺旋结构的两倍,因此双螺旋结构对壳程流体具有更强的导流作用,流体的分布更加均匀,且呈现出更加强烈的旋转运动.     

Experimental performance comparison of shell-side heat transfer for shell-and-tube heat exchangers with middle-overlapped helical baffles and segmental baffles

Presented in this paper are experimental test and comparison for several shell-and-tube heat exchangers, one with segmental baffles and four with helical baffles at helix angles of 20^°, 30^°, 40^° and 50^°, respectively. The results show that, based on the same shell-side flow rate, the heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger with helical baffles is lower than that of the heat exchanger with segmental baffles while the shell-side pressured drop of the former is even much lower than that of the later. Further enhancement techniques should be incorporated in order to enhance shell-side heat transfer based on the same flow rate. The comparison of heat transfer coefficient per unit pressure-drop (and pumping power) versus shell-side volume flow rate shows that (1) the heat exchanger with helical baffles have significant performance advantage over the heat exchanger with segmental baffles; (2) for the same shell inner diameter, the performance of heat exchanger with helical baffles with 30° helix angle is better than that of 20°, and the performance of 40° helix angle is better than that of 50° helix angle. The heat exchanger with helical baffles of 40° angle shows the best performance among the five heat exchangers tested.     

CFD simulation on shell-and-tube heat exchangers with small-angle helical baffles

Shell-and-tube heat exchanger with helical baffles is superior to that with segmental baffles in reducing pressure drop, eliminating dead zone and lowering the risks of vibration of tube bundle. This paper focused on the small-angle helical baffles that have been merely reported in open literature. These baffles are noncontinuous helical baffles with a helix angle of 10° to 30°, and their shapes are 1/4 ellipse, 1/4 sector and 1/3 sector. To assess the integrative performance, α/?p is employed, and the calculated results show that among the three baffle shapes the heat exchangers with a 1/4 sector helical baffle have the lowest pressure drop. At β = 10° and 20°, 1/4 sector helical baffle heat exchangers show the best integrative performance; at β = 30°, 1/4 ellipse and 1/4 sector helical baffle heat exchangers perform almost the same. For the study of helix angles, we found that 30° has the best integrative performance at low mass flow rate, almost the same as 20° at high mass flow rate.
