Process and installation for applying a controllable heat-exchange in regenerative heat-exchanger
First Claim
1. In a heat-treatment plant for heat treatment of a product liquid of continuous flow, a high temperature heater and a regenerative heat-exchanger connected thereto, the regenerative heat exchanger having counterflow heat exchange between product liquid entering and leaving the high temperature heater, said regenerative heat exchanger including a cooling liquid passage with a heat exchanging surface for withdrawing heat from the product liquid going to the high temperature heater, a cooling liquid conduit interconnected to the cooling liquid passage, said cooling liquid conduit including a flow control which is reactive to temperature and flow rate of the product liquid, the control having a temperature sensor interconnected to the product liquid conduit leading to the high temperature heater and a flow rate sensor interconnected to the product liquid conduit.

Abstract
A process and an installation for the heat treatment of a product liquid based on the continuous flow principle, in which a regenerative heat-exchanger is used in conjunction with a high temperature heater for product liquid. A part of the heat-exchanger is provided with an additional heat-exchanging surface which is connected to a cooling circuit, the variable capacity of which is determined and controlled by both the temperature and the output of the product liquid, whereby to maintain the efficiency of the heat treatment under changing input quantities of the product liquid. Control, above is effected by a combination temperature sensor interconnected to the product liquid conduit directed to the high temperature heater and a flow rate sensor interconnected to another given portion of the product liquid conduit.
