  • DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION AMD BEST MODE
  • With reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numbers in the views refer to the same elements of my construction in the several views, the condensing unit and heat exchanger is shown generally at 10 which consists of a series of subunits, each of which has a specific function and which are assembled into a single unit that can, for example, be enclosed in an appropriate size shipping container or an outer vault which is preferably formed of reinforced concrete or steel.
  • In order to retain heat, the outer surfaces of the unit on all sides are provided with one or more layers of a high-temperature insulation 11. For high temperature applications or for irregularly-shaped components such as valves, pipe joints or the like, similar insulation may be provided.
  • A steel door 12 as shown in FIG. 2 is provided for access to the heating chamber 13. If desired, an inspection window may be provided in the door.
  • As noted above, a wide variety of fuel sources may be employed to provide a heat source for the unit. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, natural gas or propane is used as a source of heat which is fed into the heating chamber 13. A burner assembly 14 serves to ignite and burn, the gas or other suitable fuel which may enter the unit via an inlet line 15. Alternatively, ignition may take place outside of the system and the heat may then enter the heating chamber 13.
  • A forced air blower (not shown) may be used for forced induction into the heating chamber in order to ensure efficient burning of the fuel.
  • The outer casing of the unit is sealed with the exception of water inlet piping 16, steam outlet piping 17, the fuel inlet 15 or auger feed when a solid fuel is used, and power control wiring conduits. The sealing contributes to the efficiency of the unit to ensure against loss of heat from the unit. The primary function of this outer casing, which includes the water inlet 16 is to be the outermost component of the thermal storage system and as previously noted, several layers of high temperature insulation 18 are required for insertion within the outer casing.
  • Water enters the unit through the inlet, pipe 16 and flows through the unit as represented by the arrows in the figures. The water is preferably preheated. The diameter of the water-pipe is reduced as seen in FIG. 2 and the water then flows through a series of wall coil sets and mid-wall coils. These coils are preferably formed of high grade copper, stainless steel of other appropriate metals and have an appropriate diameter for the specific application of the system, and are encased in refractory cement 19.
  • These wall coil sets include the front wall coils 20, top wall coils 21, upper and lower side wall coils 22 and 23, right side wall coils 24, rear wall coils 25, top coils 26, bottom coils 27 and mid-wall coils 28. These coils carry the water which is preferably preheated and which approaches the boiling point which will vary with the pressure.
  • The coils in each set are formed in a serpentine or “race-track” pattern with the inlets and outlets being coplanar and parallel to each other as seen for example in FIG. 12. This results in a very compact coil set which enables the use of many such coil sets in the unit.
  • A plurality of vertically oriented steam, tanks 29 which are code design steel pressure vessels. The tanks are designed to withstand the very high pressures and temperatures of the steam contained and stored therein and are placed adjacent to one side of the unit and receive the steam that is generated in additional coil sets which include heating chamber coils 30, horizontal steam generating coils 31, and vertical steam generating coils 32. The steam generating coils are oriented perpendicular to and above the heating chamber 13. The tanks may be insulated if desired although such insulation may not be required since they are located within a chamber where the temperatures may be greater than 150° C.
  • As water flows from the inlet sequentially through all of the various coil sets, the temperature increases until steam is generated. Thereafter, the steam enters the steam tanks 29. The steam may then, when desired, exit the steam tanks through the steam outlet 17 when it may thereafter serve various purposes. For example, the steam may feed a steam turbine for the generation of electrical power.
  • As seen in FIG. 2, the heating chamber 13 is located near the lower front of the unit and is heated by a burner assembly 14 such as a PowerFlame®Nova Plus combustion burner manufactured by Power Flame Incorporated, shown in dotted lines. A grate surface may be provided when solid fuels are used and a combustion air inlet may be provided to conduct induction air from a blower if one is used.
  • It is expected that when forced induction and a refined configuration of heating chamber, temperatures of between 650° C. and 1650° C. can be expected.
  • By providing coil sets both at the front, rear, top, sides and bottom of the unit as well as adjacent the middle of the unit, a very high efficiency is achieved especially when the water is pre-heated.
  • As noted above, the water entering the unit via the water inlet 16 passes through all of the wall tube pre-heating coils and then into and through the horizontal heating chamber coils 30 (see FIG. 9) where it is primarily heated and then through vertical and horizontal steam generating coil sets 31 and 32. It will be understood that heated air exiting from the heating chamber 13 will circulate upwardly around and about the various coil sets and the steam generating coils.
  • A phase change to steam occurs where the heated water reaches saturated steam temperature which varies based upon the water pressure. The steam is saturated at this point.
  • Steam that exits from the steam generating coils is fed via a manifold 33 directly into the top of the steam tanks 29, four of which are shown in FIG. 3. Obviously, any number of such tanks may be used dependent upon the proposed application of the internally heated steam generation system and heat exchanger. These tanks are provided for storage of steam to allow for fluctuations in steam consumption to balance the steam generation of the system.
  • When steam is released from the tanks, it passes into an outlet manifold 34 which communicates with the steam outlet 17. The exiting steam may be employed for use in a power plant, steam turbine or any external system where steam may be employed, as for example, generation of electricity, and for providing heat for homes or buildings.
  • Means are also provided for the removal of exhaust gases from the unit through an exhaust outlet 35. Such gases passing out of the unit will be monitored to determine emission particulate levels and the presence of any unburned hydrocarbons. Monitoring systems of this type are well known in the industry and are commercially available. The monitored data can be used through computer software to adjust the feed of fuel and air induction into the heating chamber to obtain optimum burn performance.
