ABSTRACT:
The problem of separation of vapors forming a separate phase leaving behind a liquid which then flows at a lower rate is overcome when employing a mixture of vapor and liquid in a heat exchanger by rapidly pushing through preferably on the shell side the mixture of vapor and liquid to prevent substantially formation of undesired separate vapor phase. Preferably, the heat exchanger is disposed vertically, i.e., the mixture of vapor and liquid flows substantially vertically upward. In the now-preferred embodiment the tube bundle is disposed so that the tubes are vertically disposed. Tubes otherwise disposed, e.g., horizontally can also be used.
Apparatus is disclosed comprising in combination with a shell-tube type heat exchanger, a mixed heat exchange medium storage, an expansion device through which the medium is expanded when cooling is desired, vapor and liquid separation means for recovering separately vapor and liquid from used heat exchange medium, and means for reconstituting the mixed-component heat exchange medium and passing the same to said storage.
