Description
- The present invention relates to a heat transfer tube used for the heat exchanger of air conditioners, refrigerators, and boilers; particularly to a heat transfer tube with grooved inner surface suitable for purposes in which a fluid flowing through the tube causes a phase change.
- As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the heat transfer tube with grooved
inner surface 1 has ridges (fins) 3 made by forming manyspiral grooves 2 on the inner surface of a metallic tube such as a copper tube, which is used for purposes in which a fluid flowing through the tube causes a phase change between liquid and gas phases. - The factors determining the performance of the heat transfer tube with grooved inner surface under the above phase change state are considered to be the agitation effect by a fluid due to irregularity of the inner surface, heat transfer acceleration effect by increase of the inner surface area, and liquid-line fluctuation effect in the region of irregularity. For example, evaporation of a liquid is described below. The liquid flowing through a tube at a speed faster than a certain speed is quickly raised through an ultra-fine spiral groove by a combination of capillary action and the force caused by flow velocity to become a ring flow and evaporation is accelerated throughout the tube.
- A heat transfer tube with grooved inner surface in actual use at present is disclosed in, for example, US Patent 4658892 and European Patent0148609. Table 1 shows typical shape of the tube. Each dimensional item shown in Table 1 corresponds to that of Figs. 1 and 3.
- The heat transfer tube shown in Table 1 has a satisfactory heat transfer performance. However, it is desired to make the heat exchanger more compact, lightweight, and low cost, while improving the performance of the heat transfer tube and decrease its weight.
Table 1 Item Dimension Outside diameter of tube D mm 9.52 Inside diameter of tube Di mm 8.52 Groove depth (Fin height) Hf mm 0.20 Bottom wall thickness (Wall thickness from groove bottom to tube surface) Tf mm 0.30 Ridge apex angle (Fin apex angle) γ Degree 53 Cross section perpendicular to grooves Lead angle (Helix angle of groove from tube axis) α Degree 18 Number of ridges (Number of fins) N - 60 Unit weight (Material: Copper) - g/m 94 - It is an object of the present invention to provide a heat transfer tube with grooved inner surface having high heat-transfer characteristics.
- It is an another object of the present invention to provide a heat transfer tube with grooved inner surface with less weight per unit length.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide a heat transfer tube with grooved inner surface with fins to be easily formed.
- The heat transfer tube with grooved inner surface for achieving these objects has been developed as the result of studying the correlation between the shape of grooves, shape of ridges (fins) formed between grooves, and heat transfer performance from various perspectives.
- The heat transfer tube of the present invention premises that spiral grooves are formed on the inner surface, the helix angle of grooves from the tube axis (lead angle "alpha") ranges from 16 to 22°, the ratio (Hi/Di) of the groove depth (Hf) to the inside diameter of the tube (Di) ranges from 0.023 to 0.025, and the wall thickness between the groove bottom and the tube surface (bottom wall thickness Tf) ranges from 0.25 to 0.35 mm. Among these prerequisites, selection of the (Hf/Di) ratio is based mainly on the performance of the heat transfer tube, and the groove lead angle is determined by also considering the ease of manufacturing the heat transfer tube. The heat transfer tube of the present invention obtains maximum heat transfer performance by combining these prerequisites with requirements for the shape of grooves and ridges to be described later. It is preferable for the outside diameter of the tube (D) to range between 9.5 and 10 mm.
- The first requirement for shape in the present invention is to keep the ratio (W/Hf) of the groove bottom width (W) to the groove depth or fin height (Hf) on a cross section perpendicular to the axis at a range of 1.22 to 1.27. For a ratio (W/Hf) of less than 1.22, if the condensate of a fluid in the tube remains in the grooves, the fins will easily become covered and condensation capacity will decrease. For a ratio (W/Hf) of more than 1.27, however, the inner surface area of the tube decreases and the heat transfer performance drops. When the number of ridges (number of fins) is decreased, for example, the ratio (W/Hf) exceeds the specified range of the present invention.
- The second requirement for shape in the present invention is to set the apex angle (gamma) of the ridge (fin) to 50-55° on a cross section perpendicular to grooves. In general, as the apex angle (gamma) decreases, the heat transfer performance is improved both for evaporation and condensation. However, it is necessary to keep the apex angle at a range between 50 to 55° in consideration of the machinability of fins when manufacturing heat transfer tubes.
- The present invention makes it possible to obtain a lightweight heat transfer tube with grooved inner surface with a satisfactory machinability for manufacturing tubes by keeping the ratio (W/Hf) of the groove bottom width (W) to the fin height (Hf) within the above mentioned range to specify the groove shape, combining the specified groove shape with the fin shape whose apex angle is limited to accelerate heat transfer, and properly keeping the flow line of their regular region to improve performance.

- As described above, the present invention makes it possible to provide a heat transfer tube with grooved inner surface superior in heat transfer performance and more lightweight than the conventional tube while decreasing the cost of heat exchangers.
