Spiral flat pipe with wave-shaped outer ribs for heat exchange of high-viscosity fluid
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of petroleum and chemical heat exchange, in particular to a spiral flat pipe with wavy outer ribs for heat exchange of high-viscosity fluid.
Background
Heat transfer by high viscosity fluids is widely used in various industrial processes such as food, light industry, power, petroleum, refrigeration, machinery, marine and the like. Sterilizing high viscosity food; cooling lubricating oil of various mechanical transmission equipment; removing heat in a reaction kettle in the polymerization reaction; heating or cooling of various high viscosity raw materials and finished products in petrochemical industry. These processes all involve the exchange of heat, and therefore the importance of heat transfer by high viscosity fluids in industrial processes is undoubted. However, the high-viscosity fluid has the disadvantages of low heat transfer coefficient and large pressure drop in the process of enhancing heat transfer. Therefore, how to increase the heat transfer coefficient of the high-viscosity fluid and reduce the pressure drop becomes a key and difficult problem in the heat transfer field at present.
In order to enhance the heat transfer of high viscosity fluids, the main methods at present are to modify the surface structure of the pipe, to add inserts of various structures into the pipe, and the like. Such as corrugated tubing, spiral fluted tubing, crater tubing, and spiral flat tubing for high viscosity fluids. However, the current method, namely, the optimization of parameters and structure on the basis of the existing pipe type, still cannot effectively solve the problems of low heat exchange coefficient and large pressure drop. The composite enhanced heat transfer technology is to adopt two or more enhanced heat transfer measures simultaneously to exert respective advantages so as to obtain better enhanced heat transfer effect. On one hand, although the reinforced heat transfer pipe (such as a spiral corrugated pipe, a spiral flat pipe and a zoom pipe) with a simple rough rib surface cannot cause the sharp increase of fluid pressure drop, the disturbance degree of the reinforced heat transfer pipe on a fluid boundary layer is not high, and the heat transfer performance is not obviously improved. On the other hand, the use of various finned tubes (e.g., low finned tube, zigzag finned tube, petal-shaped finned tube, etc.) having a high degree of fluid turbulence can greatly improve the heat transfer performance of the fluid, but also causes a sharp increase in pressure drop.
The Chinese utility model patent CN201420227693.3 discloses a discontinuous bidirectional twisted heat exchange tube, which comprises a twisted section and a first straight tube and a second straight tube at two ends of the twisted section, wherein the twisted section is composed of a plurality of units, a third straight tube is arranged between two adjacent units, each unit comprises a left twisted tube section, a straight tube section and a right twisted tube section, and the structure of the invention is fundamentally different from that of the invention; the chinese utility model CN200620092685.8 discloses a spiral grooved flat tube, which is a grooved spiral flat tube, and is fundamentally different from the present invention in structure. The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a metal spiral corrugated flat pipe, which is characterized in that band-shaped thin steel is subjected to corrugating, folding and meshing edges, pipe coiling and edge pressing to manufacture a metal spiral corrugated round pipe, and then the metal spiral corrugated flat pipe is flattened and formed.
