Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heat exchanger, manufactured from light metal by means of casting technique, comprising at least a water duct, a burner space and elements increasing the heat-transferring area.
  • a heat exchanger is known from European patent specification 0 547 641.
  • This known heat exchanger comprises two box-shaped parts attached to each other with the open sides facing each other, with the inclusion of a burner space.
  • Each part comprises, at the side thereof facing the burner space, a number of series and columns of projections that increase the heat-transferring area, which projections always extend in the same direction towards each other in the mounted condition of the heat exchanger, and have their free ends approximately abutting against each other.
  • each part At the outside remote from the projections, each part comprises a water duct extending zig-zag from the bottom upwards.
  • the lateral sides of the heat exchanger are formed by substantially closed, flat walls.
  • This known heat exchanger has as a drawback that the heat-transferring area is relatively small compared with the dimensions of the heat exchanger. As a consequence, the efficiency is not optimal.
  • a water duct extends on two sides of the heat exchanger only, the other sides are clear and act as radiation surface to the environment, so that heat is lost, particularly when no or insufficient insulation measures are taken.
  • the projections are arranged so that they transfer the heat in a favorable manner to the or each water duct, which means that they all connect to the parts of each heat exchanger part that face the water duct.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a heat exchanger of the type described in the preamble of the main claim, wherein the drawbacks mentioned are avoided, while the advantages thereof are retained.
  • a heat exchanger according to the invention is characterized by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the substantially cylindrical form of the heat exchanger provides a favorable ratio between the contents and the wall surface of a heat exchanger.
  • the water duct extends along at least almost the entire outside of the heat exchanger, so that the heat of the flue gases is optimally used and heat radiation to the environment is minimized.
  • the heat exchanger is as it were insulated by a water jacket.
  • the elements increasing the heat-transferring area extend inwardly from the inner wall while they are distributed along the entire inner circumference of the section at least in a portion of the heat exchanger, the heat of the flue gases is optimally taken up and distributed over the entire circumference of the inner wall and thus transferred to the water duct. Consequently, substantial temperature differences over the inner wall are prevented in a simple manner.
  • a heat exchanger according to the invention can be manufactured and employed in a simple manner and is economical in production, use and maintenance.
  • a heat exchanger according to the invention is characterized by the features of claim 2.
  • the water duct wound spiral-wise around the inner wall, has the advantage that the casting core or casting core parts can readily be removed therefrom, because no or at least few bends occur therein.
  • the water duct extends in a flowing manner, like a snake around the cylindrical inner wall. This prevents core material, for instance sand, wax or plastic, from staying behind in parts of the water duct and fouling and damaging the apparatus.
  • such a spirally wound water duct has the advantage that the water resistance of the heat exchanger is low, at least lower than in the case of a water duct that extends zigzag.
  • the advantage is for instance achieved that a water pump of a lower capacity can be used, that there can be a more accurate control, that a longer water duct or greater powers can be used and like advantages.
  • the water duct can be cleaned more properly and foulings are more simply prevented from adhering in the water duct during use.
  • a further advantage of arranging a spirally wound water duct is that a casting core required therefor can be fitted and supported in a mold in a simpler manner, so that the manufacture of such a heat exchanger is simpler, all the more because the number of core holes in the water duct that are to be finished and sealed after casting is smaller than in the case of the known heat exchangers. For instance, with one core support, two windings of the water duct that lie side by side can in each case be supported.
  • a heat exchanger according to the invention is further characterized by the features of claim 3.
  • a heat exchanger constructed in one piece has the advantage that this requires fewer assembling operations during the production of a heating apparatus designed therewith, and that, moreover, sealing problems of parts of a heat exchanger are avoided. Accordingly, such a heat exchanger is cheaper and more reliable in production and use.
  • a heat exchanger according to the invention is further characterized by the features of claim 4.
  • Such a heat exchanger can be manufactured as follows.
  • a casting core for the water duct is formed by forming a cast of the water duct in, for instance, molding sand or wax.
  • This casting core is then removed in for instance two parts from the or each mold, and, next, the parts are interconnected to form a complete first casting core. If the walls of the water duct extended completely spiral-wise and without the above-mentioned clearing spaces therebetween around the inner wall, the core parts would be damaged during removing, because a part thereof would be stuck behind a non-clearing part of each winding of this wall.
  • the clearing spaces on the division seam of the first casting core i.e.
  • each casting core part can be removed without damage.
  • such a heat exchanger according to the invention is characterized by the features of claim 5.
  • the water duct wall is actually wound substantially entirely spiral-wise, and the clearing spaces are formed by profiles on the water duct wall.
  • the water duct so as to be alternately inclined and right-angled relative to the longitudinal axis of the heat exchanger, so that the right-angled part in each case forms a space that can be cleared in tangential direction. This does create a slightly larger number of bends in the water duct, but these bends can be relatively faint.
  • a heat exchanger according to the invention is characterized by the features of claim 6.
  • a casting core for at least the burner space, the elements increasing the heat-transferring area, and the inner wall can be formed in a particularly simple manner without this requiring moving parts in the mold. Moreover, the elements increasing the heat-transferring area can thus be readily and optimally distributed over the surface of the inner wall.
  • the invention further relates to a casting core apparatus for manufacturing a heat exchanger according to the invention, characterized by the features of claim 10.
  • the invention moreover relates to a heating apparatus comprising a heat exchanger according to the invention.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 show, in sectional views, a heat exchanger 1 according to the invention.
  • the heat exchanger 1 comprises a cylindrical inner wall 2 and an outer wall 3 concentrically arranged around the inner wall 2. Included between the inner wall 2 and the outer wall 3 is a spiral-shaped water duct wall 4, whereby a spiral-shaped water duct 5 is formed on the outside of the inner wall 2. From the inside of the inner wall 2, projections 6 increasing the heat-transferring area extend inwardly in staggered rows and/or columns and approximately at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the heat exchanger 1. The shape and positions of the projections 6 will be further discussed hereinafter.
  • the heat exchanger 1 is formed in one piece through casting and is manufactured from light metal. Light metal should be understood to mean, at least, aluminum and aluminum alloys, brass and brass alloys.
  • the heat exchanger 1 has a substantially cylindrical shape, which means that an optimum ratio is obtained between contents and heat-transferring area.
  • the heat exchanger 1 is formed by means of a casting core assembly 7 as shown in Fig. 3.
  • a quarter of the casting core assembly 7 has been left out. For clarity's sake, this quarter is schematically shown (in contour) in broken lines.
  • the casting core assembly 7 is of the type that is lost during or after the casting of the heat exchanger 1 and is for instance formed from sand, wax or synthetic material, such as polystyrene, or from combinations thereof.
  • parts such as slides can of course be included, which can in fact be reused, if necessary.
  • the casting core assembly 7 comprises an outer box B wherein the shape of the outside of the heat exchanger 1 is substantially fixed.
  • the casting core assembly 7 further comprises an inner core 8 and a water duct core 9. These cores are successively described.
  • the inner core 8 can be manufactured in portions and then be assembled from parts, or can be of a one-piece construction. Manufacturing the inner core 8 in portions has the advantage that the equipment required therefor is relatively cheap, yet the processing costs involved are relatively high. For manufacturing the inner core in one part, relatively costly equipment is necessary, yet an inner core 8 thus manufactured requires relatively little finishing.
  • the inner core 8 is composed of four sectors I-IV, to be referred to as segments 10.
  • Each segment 10 comprises about a quarter of the section of the space 11 enclosed within the inner wall 2, the opposite sectors I and III being substantially mirror-symmetrical, just as the opposite sectors II and IV.
  • the four sectors I-IV can also be equal to each other, in which case, for manufacturing the sectors, only one mold may suffice and, moreover, errors during the assembly of the inner core 8 are avoided.
  • Each sector I-IV comprises a large number of projections 6 which extend substantially parallel to each other, at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the sector I-IV in question.
  • the projections 6 extend so that they can be withdrawn, in such a manner that the sector in question, after the formation thereof, can be drawn from a mold used for the formation in the direction of the longitudinal edge C which, in a compound inner core 8, is directed towards the other sectors.
  • a thus formed segment 10 approximately has the shape of a quarter of a circle and has, in the convex outer face 12, a large number of parallel recesses 13, each having the shape of the projections 6 to be formed.
  • the side faces 14 of the sectors I-IV i.e. the faces which, in the compound inner core 8, abut against each other, are irregularly shaped.
  • a number of recesses 13' extend beyond the (fictitious) boundary line 15 of the quarter circle enclosed by the relevant sector 10. These recesses 13' extending therebeyond are provided so that in a compound inner core 8, they lie between recesses 13 in the adjoining side face 14 of the adjacent sector.
  • a suitable density of projections 6 on the different parts of the inner wall 2 is obtained, as a result of which, during use, no substantial differences in heat transfer are created, which is advantageous in terms of heat engineering and construction.
  • the sectors I-IV are glued together or joined otherwise with the side faces 14 against one another, to obtain the compound inner core 8 shown in Fig. 3.
  • four sectors I-IV are opted for, but of course, a different number can be chosen as well, for instance two semicircular sectors or more than four, which may be advantageous, in particular in the case of relatively large dimensions of the heat exchanger.
  • the direction of the projections 6 will always have to be chosen depending on the number of sectors.
  • a tool having different movable parts (four in the embodiment shown) is used.
  • a cylinder wherein projections extend inwardly in the desired pattern, is filled with, for instance, molding sand, which is allowed to harden. Then, the projections are withdrawn outwards in segments until they extend entirely outside the molding sand.
  • the cylinder can be divided into four quadrants, each comprising projections 6 fixedly connected thereto, in accordance with the segments I-IV of the segmented inner core-8. When these four quadrants are being drawn away, the entire inner core 8 is then directly clear.
  • the projections 6 can also be withdrawable through the wall of the cylinder, after which the inner core 8 should subsequently be removed from the cylinder, which cylinder can, of course, also be divisible for that purpose.
  • This also permits the use of projections that have such a position relative to each other that they are not jointly withdrawable, for instance radial projections. They can then be withdrawn simultaneously or individually in the suitable direction if they are moveable independently of each other.
  • similar projections can be used, which is advantageous for the heat transfer and minimizes stresses in the cast heat exchanger.
  • the heat exchanger shown in the drawing can of course also be manufactured in this manner.
  • the water duct core 9 is manufactured in two parts in one or more molds 16 and is schematically partly shown in Fig. 4.
  • the water duct core 9 is formed in two parts 9', 9", but a different number of parts can of course be used as well. Two parts has the advantage that relatively few joints are necessary, while the core parts 9', 9" can still be manufactured relatively simply. Moreover, these core parts 9', 9" can readily be provided around the inner core 8. Further, it is possible to construct the water duct core 9 in one piece, in particular in the case of relatively short heat exchangers, wherein the mold 16 can for instance be screwed from the formed water duct core 9.
  • the water duct 5 is substantially spiral-shaped, wound around the outside of the inner wall 2 of the heat exchanger 1.
  • the water duct 5 being spiral-shaped, the water duct core 9 can readily be removed after casting, because no bends of about 90° or even of 180° are included, as in the known heat exchangers. This means that fewer or even no openings for cleaning the water duct need to be included, which means that fewer finishing operations of the cast heat exchanger 1 are necessary. Further advantages will be further discussed hereinafter.
  • Fig. 4A is an enlarged view of a clearing space 17 between two wall parts 4 of the water duct 5, in a first embodiment.
  • the clearing direction of the core parts 9', 9" of the mold 16 is at right angles to the plane of the drawing.
  • the wall parts 4 are thickened so that the space therebetween has, in each case, no undercuts in at least the clearing direction, i.e. when the heat exchanger 1 is held vertically and, accordingly, the water duct 5 extends upwards/downwards spiral-wise, the relevant wall parts are approximately parallel or receding in the clearing direction. This permits the portion of the core parts 9 therebetween to be drawn away without parts being left behind undercuts. This means that the core parts 9', 9" can be removed and joined together to form the desired water duct core 9 without damage.
  • Fig. 4B shows an alternative embodiment of the wall parts 4 of the water duct 5, wherein, at the location where the two parts 9', 9" of the casting core 9 come together, the wall parts 4 are bent to enclose the desired clearing space 17.
  • the wall parts 4 are slightly bent relative to the longitudinal axis of the heat exchanger, to obtain a slightly stepped water duct 5 extending spiral-wise around the inner wall 2 of the heat exchanger 1.
  • Each water duct core part 9, 9" comprises a series of parallel, approximately semicircular parts 31. These parts are interconnected by a transverse beam 18 on which the parts 31 are arranged, via support pins 19. The parts 31 are slightly oblique relative to the longitudinal direction of the beam 18 and together form, when the core parts 9', 9" are joined together, a representation in, for instance, molding sand of the water duct 5.
  • casting core 9 it is also possible to form the casting core 9 by means of a mold 16 provided with slides or the like, or by means of a mold 16 of the lost type, which means that it is lost during or after the formation of the casting core 9.
  • the casting core assembly 7 is rendered ready for use through the following steps.
  • a cast is provided of a first half of the outside contour of the heat exchanger, i.e. it is substantially determined by the outer wall 3.
  • a first part 9' of the water duct core 9 is placed, with the beam 18 being received in the first outer box part so that only the support pins 19 and the parts 31 extend inside the hollow.
  • the support pins 19 have such a length that the parts are spaced from the inside of the hollow at a distance corresponding to the desired wall thickness of the outer wall 3, for instance some millimeters.
  • the inner core 8 is placed in the parts 31 and spaced therefrom at a distance corresponding to the desired thickness of the inner wall 2.
  • the second part 9" of the water duct core 9 and the second outer box B" containing a cast of the second half of the outside contour of the heat exchanger are provided over the inner core in a similar manner, to obtain a substantially closed casting box B.
  • a number of gates and risers for feeding therein the casting melt, for instance aluminum or brass or alloys of one or both metals.
  • the casting box is opened and the casting cores are removed, i.e. in so far as they have not disappeared already during casting. Because the water duct 5 is formed so as to be continuous, the removal of at least the water duct core 9 is simple, while for removing the inner core, sufficient space is present within the heat exchanger. After the removal of the casting cores, the openings in the walls of the heat exchanger are closed, wherever this is necessary, and the heat exchanger can be finished and incorporated into, for instance, a heating apparatus.
