Abstract
A plate type condenser is constituted by a primary condensation section and a secondary condensation section positioned on the downstream side of the primary condenser. The primary condenser comprises a plurality of condensation elements and a plurality of condensate discharge grooves extending along respective condensation elements and inclined in the form of a herringbone with respect to the passages which pass a heated medium to be condensed and a medium to be heated in opposite directions.
Claims6
In a plate type condenser of the type wherein a plurality of spaced metal plates are arranged to define a plurality of passages therebetween and heated medium to be condensed and medium to be heated thereby are passed through said passages in the opposite directions, the improvement which comprises a primary condensation section including a plurality of condensation elements and a plurality of condensate discharge grooves formed in said metal plate and extending along respective condensation elements and inclined with respect to said passages, said condensate discharge grooves being spaced from each other in the direction of flow of said heated medium and said medium to be heated by flat portions of said metal plates which do not protrude into the passage passing said medium to be heated, said condensate discharge grooves having a cross-sectional configuration which only protrudes into the passage passing said medium to be heated, and a secondary condensation section positioned on the downstream side of said primary condensation section for condensing the heated medium not condensed by said primary condensation section.
In a plate type condenser of the type wherein a plurality of spaced metal plates are arranged to define a plurality of passages therebetween and a heated medium to be condensed and a medium to be heated thereby are passed through said passages in opposite directions, the improvement which comprises a vertically arranged primary condensation section including a plurality of condensation elements and condensate discharge grooves formed in said metal plate and extending along respective condensation elements and inclined with respect to a vertical direction of flow of said heated medium and said medium to be heated passing through said passages, said condensation elements and said condensation discharge grooves being arranged in a herringbone pattern, said condensate discharge grooves being spaced from each other in the direction of flow of said heated medium and said medium to be heated by flat portions of said metal plates which do not protrude into the passage passing said medium to be heated, said condensate discharge grooves having a cross-sectional configuration which only protrudes into the passage passing said medium to be heated, and a secondary condensation section positioned on the downstream side of said primary condensation section for condensing the heated medium not condensed by said primary condensation section, said secondary condensation section comprising a metal plate formed with a plurality of parallel spaced vertical condensate reservoirs.
