Abstract
Description
- The invention provides a method for manufacturing a hollow panel through which heat transfer medium can flow, with at least one inlet and at least one outlet for the heat transfer medium, which method comprises the following steps, to be performed in suitable sequence, of:
- (a) laying two metal plates of substantially equal dimensions onto each other;
- (b) mutually connecting the two plates in medium-tight manner by welding over the whole peripheral zone;
- (c) locally connecting the two plates to each other by means of a pattern of weld zones distributed regularly over the surface, wherein at least one strip-like zone extending over the surface from the one side to the other is kept free of weld zones;
- (d) at a suitable stage of the method, for instance prior to step (a) or following step (c), arranging a hole in a plate or arranging two corresponding holes in both plates such that an access opening is created;
- (e) supplying medium under pressure via the access opening such that in the areas between the peripheral weld seams and the weld zones the two plates move apart with plastic deformation, thereby creating a panel with a cavity;
- (f) optionally closing the access opening;
- (g) making one or two openings respectively on the two ends of the at least one strip-like zone, in particular at least roughly on the longitudinal centre line thereof, on at least one edge or respectively at least two edges on either side of the panel by drilling, grinding, milling or similar process;
- (h) inserting through an opening a medium transport tube which is provided with perforations and adapted to serve as respectively inlet or outlet;
- (i) fixedly welding this medium transport tube at least partially to the two plates;
- (j) fixedly welding the medium transport tube to the edges of the or each opening; and
- (k) arranging respectively an outlet or an inlet.
- The invention also provides a method for manufacturing a hollow panel through which heat transfer medium can flow, with at least one inlet and at least one outlet for the heat transfer medium, which method comprises the following steps, to be performed in suitable sequence, of:
- (p) plastically deforming two metal plates of substantially equal dimensions in mirror-symmetrical manner such that the plates can be laid onto each other with contact zones lying at least roughly in one plane, which contact zones are the whole peripheral zones of the plates and a pattern of zones distributed regularly over the surface, wherein at least one strip-like zone extending over the plates from the one side to the other is free of contact zones, wherein the plates are deformed in outward direction in the areas between the contact zones, whereby a cavity is defined between the plates;
- (q) laying the plates onto each other with said contact zones;
- (r) making one or two openings respectively on the two ends of the at least one strip-like zone, in particular at least roughly on the longitudinal centre line thereof, on at least one edge or at least two edges respectively on either side of the panel by drilling, grinding, milling or similar process;
- (s) inserting through an opening a medium transport tube which is provided with perforations and adapted to serve as respectively inlet or outlet;
- (t) fixedly welding this medium transport tube at least partially to the two plates;
- (u) fixedly welding the medium transport tube to the edges of the or each opening; and
- (v) arranging respectively an outlet or an inlet.
- It is known to manufacture a hollow panel through which heat transfer medium can flow, with an inlet and an outlet, by making use of steps (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and optionally (f). According to the prior art the panel is divided into two parts along the centre line of the strip-like zone, and the tube provided with perforations is placed and welded therebetween. From a production engineering viewpoint this is a difficult process because it difficult after the welding operation to still hold in one plane the panel parts extending on either side of the tube.
- It is an object of the invention to obviate the described prior art drawback.
- Use is made for this purpose of steps (g), (h), (i), (j) and (k).
- Inexpensive and practical is an embodiment in which step (b) is performed by seam-welding or laser welding.
- For step (c) use can be made of laser welding or resistance welding.
- In order to limit to some extent the stress in the metal plates in the area of the weld zones and to limit the chance of tearing loose during the hydraulic deformation, the method according to the invention can preferably be embodied such that substantially linear or annular, for instance circular, oval or polygonal weld zones are formed.
- The method according to the invention can advantageously have the special feature that step (d) is performed by arranging the or each hole at an end of a strip-like zone, and step (g) is performed such that the access opening is embodied by performing step (g) such that an opening replaces the access opening.
- A variant is generally recommended in which a connection for medium under pressure is arranged on the access opening after step (d). In this respect it must be taken into account that the deformation pressure is in the order of magnitude of 400 bar. In respect of this high pressure, provisions are necessary for transferring this pressure safely and without problem to the interior of the panel for forming. For the hydraulic deformation use is preferably made of liquid such as water. In the case of calamity, for instance a rapid-action coupling coming loose, the pressure then immediately drops to safe values, other than in the case of a gas under pressure.
- According to yet another aspect of the invention, the method according to the invention comprises a step (l) of performing step (k) by performing step (c) such that a second strip-like zone is kept free of weld zones, and
also performing steps (g), (h), (i) and (j) for this second strip-like zone. - In order to control the hydraulic deformation as well as possible, the method can advantageously comprise (m) of placing the assembly of the two plates in the mould cavity of a mould prior to step (f), wherein the shape of the mould cavity corresponds with the external shape of the panel for manufacture. The deforming process can hereby be performed with good accuracy in controlled manner such that the pipe fits more or less tightly in the elongate cavity in the panel.
- The invention further relates to a hollow panel through which heat transfer medium can flow, manufactured with the method according to the invention, with at least one outlet and at least one inlet for the heat transfer medium, which panel comprises:
- two metal plates of substantially equal dimensions positioned on each other;
- which plates are mutually connected medium-tightly over the whole peripheral zone by means of a weld seam;
- which plates are further locally connected to each other by means of a pattern of weld zones distributed regularly over the surface, wherein at least one strip-like zone extending over the surface from the one side to the other is kept free of weld zones;
- which plates have moved apart plastically, except at the positions where they are connected to each other by welding;
- a medium transport tube which is provided with perforations and extends in the cavity between the two plates in the area of said strip-like zone free of weld zones, and which can serve respectively as inlet or outlet, which medium transport tube is welded along the whole length to both plates and is also welded to these plates on the edges of the plates where the medium transport tube protrudes; and
- respectively an outlet or inlet.
- Finally, the invention relates to such a panel, wherein respectively the outlet or inlet is embodied in the same manner as said respective inlet or outlet.
- The invention will now be elucidated with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings:
- Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a part of a panel according to the prior art;
- Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of an initial phase of the manufacture of a panel, according to the prior art and according to the invention;
