    Abstract: A concentric symmetrical branched heat exchanger system includes an inlet manifold that divides the product flow evenly in the first section of the system and also includes an array of tubular concentric heat exchangers arranged in parallel and in series. Flow through each leg of the system can be divided further with secondary manifolds. Division of the product flow enables efficient heat exchange at higher and controllable product flow rates and at lower heat exchanger inlet pressures. Having lower inlet pressures reduces the heat exchanger construction cost and allows attachment of cutting or shaping devices at the exchanger exits to create uniquely shaped pieces. The cutting or shaping devices can be installed at the end of the branched heat exchanger to provide cooling and cutting in one process step while eliminating the material handling step of conveying product to and from a blast freezer or similar cooling device.

    Abstract translation: 同心对称的分支热交换器系统包括入口歧管,其将产品流均匀地分隔在系统的第一部分中,并且还包括并联和串联布置的管状同心热交换器阵列。 通过系统的每条腿的流动可以进一步与二级歧管分开。 产品流程的划分使得能够在更高和可控的产品流速以及更低的热交换器入口压力下进行有效的热交换。 具有较低的入口压力降低了热交换器的结构成本,并且允许在交换器出口处附接切割或成形装置以产生独特的成形件。 切割或成型装置可以安装在分支热交换器的端部,以在一个工艺步骤中提供冷却和切割,同时消除将产品输送到吹出冷冻机或类似冷却装置的材料处理步骤。
