Heat exchanger

Claim 2

A waste heat boiler comprising: a sheaf of heat-exchanging pipes with opposite ends; a flow entrance chamber having an entrance connection; a flow exit chamber having an exit connection; said entrance chamber and said exit chamber being located at said opposite ends of said heat-exchanging pipes and being interconnected through said heat-exchanging pipes; a partial flow pipe extending axially substantially through the center of said waste heat boiler and parallel to said heat-exchanging pipes; said partial flow pipe having an entrance end connected to said entrance chamber; said partial flow pipe having a cylindrical exit end with cross-section larger than the cross-section of the remainder of said partial flow pipe; said cylindrical exit end having an opening for connecting the interior of said cylindrical end with said exit chamber; flow entering said flow entrance chamber through said entrance connection passing through said heat-exchanging pipes and said partial flow pipe and exiting from said flow exit chamber through said exit connection; a positioning element within said cylindrical end for selectively closing said partial flow pipe or said opening of said cylindrical end communicating with said exit chamber; a mixing pipe perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said cylindrical end and located within said exit chamber, said mixing pipe connecting tightly said cylindrical end with said exit connection of said exit chamber; said mixing pipe having an interior space for thorough mixing of uncooled and cooled partial flows and preventing exiting of uncooled flow into said exit chamber when substantially all flow passes through said partial flow pipe.

Claim 3

A waste-heat boiler as defined in claim 1, wherein said cylindrical end has an open end and is coaxial with said partial flow pipe; a rod extending outward and having an end, said positioning element within said cylindrical end comprising a temperature-control disc slidable back and forth on said end of said rod within said cylindrical end.

Claim 4

A waste-heat boiler as defined in claim 1, wherein said cylindrical end has an open end and is coaxial with said partial flow pipe; a pivoting temperature control disc positioned at a downstream end of said partial flow pipe; said positioning element within said cylindrical end comprising another temperature control disc within the opening of said cylindrical end.

Claim 5

A waste-heat boiler as defined in claim 3, including a tie rod connecting said pivoting temperature-control disc and said other temperature control disc.

Claim 6

A waste-heat boiler as defined in claim 1, where said cylindrical end has closed ends and has a longitudinal axis perpendicular to said partial flow pipe; said cylindrical end having a wall with an opening opposite said partial flow pipe; said positioning element comprising a temperature control disc pivoting around the longitudinal axis of said cylindrical end.

Claim 7

A waste heat boiler comprising: a sheaf of heat-exchanging pipes with opposite ends; a flow entrance chamber having an entrance connection; a flow exit chamber having an exit connection; said entrance chamber and said exit chamber being located at said opposite ends of said heat-exchanging pipes and being interconnected through said heat-exchanging pipes; a partial flow pipe extending axially substantially through the center of said waste heat boiler and parallel to said heat-exchanging pipes; said partial flow pipe having an entrance end connected to said entrance chamber; said partial flow pipe having a cylindrical exit end with cross-section larger than the cross-section of the remainder of said partial flow pipe; said cylindrical exit end having an opening for connecting the interior of said cylindrical end with said exit chamber; flow entering said flow entrance chamber through said entrance connection passing through said heat-exchanging pipes and said partial flow pipe and exiting from said flow exit chamber through said exit connection; a positioning element within said cylindrical end for selectively closing said partial flow pipe or said opening of said cylindrical end communicating with said exit chamber; a mixing pipe perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said cylindrical end and located within said exit chamber, said mixing pipe connecting tightly said cylindrical end with said exit connection of said exit chamber; a flow medium passing through said partial flow pipe being held substantially distant from the wall of said exit chamber through connection of said cylindrical end with said exit connection by said mixing pipe; said mixing pipe mixing thoroughly uncooled flow medium with cooled partial flow medium within said mixing pipe; said cylindrical end and said mixing pipe establishing an exit temperature preventing uncooled medium from passing into said exit chamber during 100% flow through said partial flow pipe; said mixing pipe having an interior space for thorough mixing of uncooled and cooled partial flows and preventing exiting of uncooled flow into said exit chamber when substantially all flow passes through said partial flow pipe.

Claim 8

A waste heat boiler comprising: a sheaf of heat-exchanging pipes with opposite ends; a flow entrance chamber having an entrance connection; a flow exit chamber having an exit connection; said entrance chamber and said exit chamber being located at said opposite ends of said heat-exchanging pipes and being interconnected through said heat-exchanging pipes; a partial flow pipe extending axially substantially through the center of said waste heat boiler and parallel to said heat-exchanging pipes; said partial flow pipe having an entrance end connected to said entrance chamber; said partial flow pipe having a cylindrical exit end with cross-section larger than the cross-section of the remainder of said partial flow pipe; said cylindrical exit end having an opening for connecting the interior of said cylindrical end with said exit chamber; flow entering said flow entrance chamber through said entrance connection passing through said heat-exchanging pipes and said partial flow pipe and exiting from said flow exit chamber through said exit connection; a positioning element within said cylindrical end for selectively closing said partial flow pipe or said opening of said cylindrical end communicating with said exit chamber; a mixing pipe perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said cylindrical end and located within said exit chamber, said mixing pipe connecting tightly said cylindrical end with said exit connection of said exit chamber; a flow medium passing through said partial flow pipe being held substantially distant from the wall of said exit chamber through connection of said cylindrical end with said exit connection by said mixing pipe; said mixing pipe mixing thoroughly uncooled flow medium with cooled partial flow medium within said mixing pipe; said cylindrical end and said mixing pipe establishing an exit temperature preventing uncooled medium from passing into said exit chamber during 100% flow through said partial flow pipe; said mixing pipe having an interior space for thorough mixing of uncooled and cooled partial flows and preventing exiting of uncooled flow into said exit chamber when substantially all flow passes through said partial flow pipe.
