摘要:
A structural framework for supporting the heat exchanger of a steam generator, the former being comprised of serpentine tubes having sloped segments to facilitate the drainage of water from the heat exchanger when the steam generator is shutdown. The structural framework includes paired groups of vertically and diagonally extending first support members contiguously straddling the sloped-tube segments. The paired first support members are rigidly connected by second support members which extend between adjacent sloped-tube segments. The structural framework preserves the spacing between the sloped-tube segments and prevents direct contact between adjoining tube surfaces, but is not attached to the straddled tube segments and, thus, provides a tube supporting fit that is loose enough to permit the tubes to move freely due to expansion and contraction at different rates from that of the structural framework.

A spacing arrangement for tubes of a reheater or superheater tube section uses a spacer bar that is sufficiently long to span a space across a plurality of tubes in the tube section. The spacer bar has a plurality of holes therein which are spaced apart by a selected spacing corresponding to a desired spacing between the plurality of tubes in the section. A plurality of sleeves is provided with one sleeve on adjacent tubes in the section. A tab is fixed to each sleeve and extends outwardly from the sleeve to which it is fixed so that the tabs of all the sleeves extend outwardly from a common plane containing all the adjacent tubes in the section. The tabs extend into respective holes in the spacer bar and fillet welds fix the tabs to the spacer bar adjacent the holes and at a location spaced from the sleeves.

There is provided an arrangement for mounting the top end of a heat exchange module to and between a pair of opposed support frame surfaces, the arrangement including an elongate transverse beam and a pair of end mounting assemblies. The elongate transverse beam is securable to the top end of the heat exchange module with the longitudinal extent of the transverse beam oriented in the direction from one opposed support frame surface toward the other opposed support frame surface. One longitudinal end of the transverse beam has a left hand overextension portion extending longitudinally beyond the portion of the transverse beam immediately therebelow and the other longitudinal end of the transverse beam having a right hand overextension portion extending longitudinally beyond the portion of the transverse beam immediately therebelow. The pair of end mounting assemblies of the top end mounting arrangement are each securable to one of the opposed support frame surfaces to extend therefrom toward the other opposed support frame surface. Each end mounting assembly is operable to mount a respective longitudinal end of the transverse beam to a respective one of the opposed support frame surfaces.

A heat exchanger has a duct through which heated gases pass. A plurality of tube panels are within the duct and each panel includes a header from which a plurality of tubes extend. A pair of hangers support each tube panel to form space in the duct above and below the tube panel for maintenance access. Baffles restrict the flow of gases through these spaces. Each hanger has a bracket attached to the header of the tube panel with a rod pivotally coupled to the bracket and extending through an aperture in the roof of the duct. The hangers are connected to structural members on the exterior of the duct in a manner that maintains the tube panel in a fixed position during operation of the heat exchanger, while allowing movement of a panel within said duct for maintenance.

A heat exchanger arrranged in a horizontally positioned container for carrying extremely hot gaseous or vapor media, a heat exchanger unit including a bank of tubes defined by tube walls, an inner port, a collector connected to the inlet port and connected to the tubes, first and second outlet ports, first and second outlet port ocllectors each outlet port collector being connected to the outlet ports and a bracket suspension connected to passages of the container for suspendedly supporting each of the inlet port and the outlet ports. The inlet and outlet ports each have a central axis, each central axis passing through a center of gravity of the portion of the heat exchanger unit connected to the associated port. The each of the heat exchanger units includes, the bank of tubes formed of tube walls, inlet ports being connected to the collector and the outlet ports being connected to each of the first and second outlet collectors.
摘要:
A heat exchange apparatus in which a plurality of heat exchange tubes are disposed in a enclosure and are supported relative to two opposed upright walls of the enclosure. Each tube is formed in a serpentine manner with adjacent tube sections extending in a vertically spaced parallel relationship between the upright walls. Adjacent tube sections are connected at a distance from each of the walls of between one-fourth and one-third the distance between the two walls.

In boilers, process tubes are suspended by means of vertical tubular supports that are in thermal contact with and attached to the metal roof casing of the boiler and the upper bend portions of the process tubes. The tubular supports have a liquid sealed within the support so that under conditions the liquid refluxes thereby rejecting heat to the atmosphere above the roof casing of the boiler.
摘要:
A superheater supported in a furnace and composed of a plurality of piping lengths in which the individual pipe lengths are supported in the furnace by a pair of hanger rods pivotally mounted to the pipe lengths substantially at the ends of the pipe lengths, the rods being slidably mounted to a support surface exterior of the furnace whereby the rods are free to move in a longitudinal direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pipe lengths. The inlet and outlet headers to and from the superheater can comprise the support surface for the hanger rods.

A vapor generating apparatus having an evaporator section, a portion thereof including the wall tubes forming an upright gas passage and the support tubes supporting the heat exchanger surface suspended within said gas passage.
摘要:
The structural units are prefabricated to define the heating surfaces of the vapor generator. Each unit is formed of pipe panels disposed in parallel in a horizontal plane as well as wall parts which define a part of the sidewalls of the vapor generator. Some units have pipe ends which extend through the wall parts in gastight relation in order to connect to a header or manifold.
