Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gas-liquid heat exchanger which is preferably but not exclusively employed in water heating apparatuses intended for both domestic use and utilization in residential areas.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a heat exchanger, as well as to a water heating apparatus incorporating a heat exchanger.
  • tube heat exchangers are known, optionally provided with fins to increase the gas-liquid heat exchange efficiency, of the type comprising a housing shell, wherein are defined a gas flowpath extending along a transversal direction of the same and a hydraulic circuit comprising a plurality of tubular conduits for liquid circulation, extending in said shell along a direction, which is substantially perpendicular to the direction of the gas flow.
  • European Patent application EP 0 831 281 describes a heat exchanger, wherein a plurality of unfinned tubes are housed between a pair of manifolds for distributing and- collecting the liquid, to which manifolds the free end portion of each tube is connected.
  • the gas-water heat exchangers of the prior art have a manufacturing cost which can not be further reduced owing to the manufacture and labor costs related to the need of providing a set of fittings between the tubular conduits and/or the ends thereof and the liquid distribution and collection manifolds, of assembling together the various parts of heat exchanger and lastly of rendering the same integral with each other.
  • a heat exchanger comprising a plurality of fins having slots and U-seats for housing a tubular conduit is disclosed in US-A-1 972 706.
  • the fins are assembled by pouring melting metal into the U-seat through the slots formed in the fin elements.
  • a reinforcing rib extending longitudinally along the. Unit is provided between and united to the opposite edges of the slots.
  • US-A-3 433 300 shows a method for manufacturing a heat exchanger with a tubular conduit forming a coil which is inserted transversely into U-seats formed in the edge portions of the fins. Nevertheless, the slots formed in the U-seats for inserting the tubes let the gas flowing through the fins pass through them, which lowers the efficiency of the heat exchanger.
  • the technical problem underlying the present invention is, therefore, that of providing a gas-liquid heat exchanger having a lower cost with respect to the heat exchangers of the prior art having the same heating capacity, and showing at the same time features of reduced size and high heat exchange efficiency as required by the Standards adopted by the market.
  • the Applicant has, in fact, found out that the desired further cost reduction of manufacture of the heat exchanger may be achieved -obtaining a heat exchange efficiency which is substantially comparable with that of the most expensive heat exchangers of the prior art having a similar thermal capacity - thanks to the following measures:
  • the gas passages defined between the fins extending from the tubular conduits are extending in the exchanger along a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the same tubular conduits, which are consequently transversally touched upon by the gas phase.
  • tubular conduits are parallel with each other and may lie both in the same plane or lie alternatively in parallel planes so as to have an alternation of staggered conduits which further reduces the width of the heat exchanger.
  • the distance between these parallel planes can be established by an expert of the field to avoid interferences between the fins extending from adjacent conduits.
  • the fins are laterally connected with each other downstream of the tubular conduits by a couple of lips extending perpendicularly from each fin for a predetermined length along an end portion of the seat housing the tubular conduits.
  • Said lips have a predetermined suitable width capable to achieve a physical connection between a fin and the immediately adjacent one along the longitudinal direction of the heat exchanger.
  • the width of the lips is comprised between 1 and 8 mm and, more preferably, between 3 and 6 mm.
  • 'width' of a fin element is intended to indicate the extension of such element along a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the body of the same fin (i.e. substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of tubular conduits).
  • said lips may be integrally formed in the fins by a conventional mass-production pressing operation to the full advantage of the desired reduction of production costs of the exchanger.
  • the fins may be laterally connected downstream of the tubular conduits by means of rectangular metal foils having an appropriate width or by means of U-shaped channels having a conveniently reduced thickness, inserted into the free space existing downstream of the tubular conduits and housed in the end portion of the housing seats of the same conduits.
  • the housing seat of the tubular conduits is at least partly peripherally provided with a collar extending perpendicularly to the fin for a predetermined length.
  • the collar is extending perpendicularly to the fin for a portion which is substantially equal to the length of a bottom portion of the housing seat of the tubular conduits.
  • said collar may have a width equal to or minor than that of the lips adapted to laterally connect the fins.
  • the collar has a width lower than the width of the lips which connect adjacent fins with each other, which is conveniently comprised between 1.5 and 5.5 mm, and is advantageously integrally formed with said lips, to which is coupled without interruption.
  • the fins are also package-connected laterally and at opposite portions of the tubular conduits by means of a couple of side walls perpendicularly extending from the opposite ends of the same fins.
  • said side walls have a predetermined width adapted to allow a physical connection between a fin and the one which is immediately adjacent along the longitudinal direction of the heat exchanger.
  • these gas passages are defined once the fins have been stably associated to the tubular conduits and, as described above, are extending along a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the same tubular conduits.
  • the heat exchanger of the invention comprises suitable means for spacing the fins in a pitchwise manner, which means may be advantageously constituted by the aforementioned collars, lips or by appropriate spacers eventually integrally formed in the same fins.
  • Said means advantageously allows to define the width of said gas passages so as to achieve the desired fluid dynamics properties of gas flow which is crossing the heat exchanger.
  • the pitch between the fins may be selected by a skilled man in the art depending upon the pressure drop and the fluid dynamics properties of the gas flow which are required.
  • this inclination may preferably assume with respect to the body of the fins an angular value ( ⁇ 1 ) comprised between 90° and 105° as to the lips and an angular value comprised between 80° and 105° as to the side walls.
  • the lips and/or the side walls of the fins form an angle ( ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 ) comprised between 96° and 100° with respect to the body of the fins, that is, they are substantially flared.
  • the regulation of the pitch between the fins allows in turn to conveniently regulate the efficiency of the heat exchanger, which is substantially proportional to the number of fins, by bringing the latter to the desired value.
  • the fins are provided with a plurality of substantially U-shaped seats each adapted to house one tubular conduit.
  • the latter may be provided with at least one rib, formed between the housing seats of adjacent tubular conduits, and adapted to increase the turbulence of the gas flowing into the gas passages defined between adjacent fins.
  • the heat exchanger further comprises a couple of quick-connecting pipe fittings associated with the opposite free ends of the substantially coil-shaped conduit.
  • the present invention relates to a water heating apparatus, for example a boiler, which is characterized in that it comprises a heat exchanger of the type described above.
  • the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a gas-liquid heat exchanger of the type described above as defined in appended claim 10.
