Heat Transfer Element For A Rotary Regenerative Heat Exchanger

View page
US Patent:
8622115, Jan 7, 2014
Filed:
Aug 19, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/543648
Inventors:
James David Seebald - Wellsville NY, US
Assignee:
ALSTOM Technology Ltd - Baden
International Classification:
F23L 15/02
F28D 17/00
F28D 19/00
US Classification:
165 8, 165 10, 165166, 428181, 428182, 428183
Abstract:
A rotary regenerative heat exchanger () employing heat transfer elements () is shaped to include notches (), providing spacing between adjacent elements () and undulations (corrugations) () in sections between the notches (). Elements () include undulations () differing in height and/or width. These differing undulations impart turbulence to air or flue gas flowing between the elements () for heat transfer thereto.

US Patent:
20100282437, Nov 11, 2010
Filed:
May 8, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/437914
Inventors:
James W. Birmingham - Wellsville NY, US
Glenn D. Mattison - Wellsville NY, US
Kevin J. O'Boyle - Alma NY, US
James D. Seebald - Wellsville NY, US
International Classification:
F28F 9/00
F28F 7/00
US Classification:
165 67, 165185
Abstract:
A heat transfer sheet [] for a rotary regenerative heat exchanger is shaped to include sheet spacing features [], which provide spacing between adjacent heat transfer sheets [], and undulation surfaces [] (corrugations) in the sections between the sheet spacing features []. The undulation sections [] are constructed of regularly spaced lobes [] extending at an angle with respect to the spacing features []. The undulating sections [] impart turbulence in the air or flue gas flowing between the heat transfer sheets [] to improve heat transfer. The heat transfer sheets [] may include undulating surfaces that differ in angle of their lobes [

Regenerative Air Preheater Design To Reduce Cold End Fouling

US Patent:
20110303135, Dec 15, 2011
Filed:
Jun 14, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/814812
Inventors:
James W. Birmingham - Wellsville NY, US
James D. Seebald - Wellsville NY, US
Assignee:
ALSTOM TECHNOLOGY LTD - Baden
International Classification:
F23N 3/00
F28D 19/04
F23L 15/02
US Classification:
110341, 110304, 110188, 110190, 165 9
Abstract:
An air preheater is described having an air damper assembly that partially restricts an air inlet and a flue gas damper assembly that partially restricts flue gas inlet during periods of reduced boiler load. Restricting the flue gas inlet reduces the effective surface area of the preheater causing more heat to pass to the cold end of the air preheater , reducing acid condensation and fouling. Restricting the gas inlet , increases gas velocity, thereby eroding accumulations in the air preheater , also reducing fouling. Restricting the air inlet reduces the effective heat transfer surface area of the air preheater, which raises the gas temperature in the cold end of the air preheater and thereby reduces acid condensation and fouling.

Heat Transfer Assembly For Rotary Regenerative Preheater

US Patent:
20140054003, Feb 27, 2014
Filed:
Aug 23, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/593054
Inventors:
Kevin James O'Boyle - Alma NY, US
James David Seebald - Wellsville NY, US
Jeffrey E. Yowell - Wellsville NY, US
International Classification:
F28D 19/04
B21D 53/02
US Classification:
165 8, 29890034
Abstract:
Disclosed is a heat transfer assembly for a rotary regenerative preheater. The heat transfer assembly, includes, a plurality of heat transfer elements stacked in spaced relationship to each other in a manner such that each notch from a plurality of notches of one of the heat transfer element rests on respective flat sections from a plurality of flat sections of the adjacent heat transfer elements to configure a plurality of closed channels, each isolated from the other, wherein each of the channels has a configuration in a manner such that each of corrugation sections from a plurality of corrugation sections of one of the heat transfer elements faces respective undulation sections from a plurality of undulation sections of the adjacent heat transfer elements.

Temperature Monitoring Method And System For Regenerative Heat Exchanger

View page
US Patent:
53680910, Nov 29, 1994
Filed:
Feb 10, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/195913
Inventors:
James D. Seebald - Wellsville NY
Carlton L. Bledsoe - Wellsville NY
William T. Amundson - Cuba NY
Assignee:
ABB Air Preheater, Inc. - Wellsville NY
International Classification:
F28D 1904
F28G 1500
US Classification:
165 5
Abstract:
A system and method for detecting hot spots in a rotary regenerative air preheater which compensates for normal variations in the temperature of the incoming hot gas stream or incoming cold air stream. Alarm conditions are based on calculations relating to the average and maximum outlet gas or outlet air over a period of time compared to the air and gas inlet temperature. The alarm is triggered if the maximum values deviate from the time averaged values more than a selected percentage.

On-Line Regenerative Air Preheater Fouling Sensing System

View page
US Patent:
57621284, Jun 9, 1998
Filed:
Nov 15, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/746775
Inventors:
Wayne S. Counterman - Wellsville NY
James D. Seebald - Wellsville NY
Assignee:
ABB Air Preheater, Inc. - Wellsville NY
International Classification:
F23L 1502
US Classification:
165 8
Abstract:
A fouling sensing system monitors fouling of a rotary regenerative preheater having a housing and a rotor rotatably mounted therein. An emitter for emitting energy is positioned at one of the faces of the rotor and emits energy through the rotor. A sensor is positioned at the other face of the rotor for receiving the energy and generating an output signal indicative of the intensity of the energy.

US Patent:
59839856, Nov 16, 1999
Filed:
May 5, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/305529
Inventors:
Wayne S. Counterman - Wellsville NY
Gary Foster Brown - Andover NY
Tadek Casimir Brzytwa - Wellsville NY
Michael Ming-Ming Chen - Wellsville NY
Scott Frederick Harting - Wellsville NY
James David Seebald - Wellsville NY
Assignee:
ABB Air Preheater, Inc. - Wellsville NY
International Classification:
F23L 1502
US Classification:
165 8
Abstract:
Heat transfer elements for rotary regenerative heat exchangers are formed with spacing ridges or notches having flow-disrupting indentations in the peaks of the notches formed at selected intervals to project into the flow channels. These projections interrupt the boundary layer and cause turbulence and mixing to enhance the heat transfer. Various methods of forming the indentations are disclosed.
