Description
- The present invention refers to a tubular device for the transit of a heat exchange fluid particularly for heat exchangers. The invention also refers to a liquid/gas heat exchanger, particularly for boilers, comprising a series of such tubular devices.
- Nowadays, liquid/gas heat exchangers, particularly for boilers, with excellent yield are known and widespread and they meet with great satisfaction from installers. Such boilers comprise a passage chamber for a first heat exchange fluid, crossed by passage ducts for a second heat exchange fluid, the particularity of which lies in the fact that at least part of such ducts is provided by a plurality of tubes, each of which has a cross section with a profile that is formed by a plurality of lobes arranged in a substantially radial direction.
- The particular shape of such tubes makes it possible to considerably increase the turbulence of the gas that has to cross them, compared with tubes with a circular or a lenticular cross section.
- Nonetheless, such tubes with a lobar cross section may be improved.
- Indeed, insofar as the blending zones between two successive lobes of a tube are close to the axis of the tube, around such axis a channel always remains from which the hot gas escapes without having optimally washed around the internal surfaces of the channels with a lobar cross section of the tube, and thus having substantially yielded very little of the heat it possesses.
- In addition, such known tubes, precisely because they present a cross section that is very narrow at the center, are difficult to clean and relatively prone to clogging. Document
US 2008/0029243 A1 discloses such tubes with a lobar cross-section that is very narrow at the center. - A heat exchange tube for a heat exchanger is known from
US 2 445 471 .
