  • Fig. 1 shows a cross sectional view of the double pipe heat exchanger taken along the direction of flow of refrigerant (in an inner pipe 2 in particular).
  • the double pipe heat exchanger is formed by inserting the inner pipe 2 serving as a circular pipe having a smaller diameter into the inside of an outer pipe 1 serving as a circular pipe having a larger diameter.
  • end portions of the heat exchanger having a double cylinder structure is configured such that an inner-wall portion of the outer pipe 1 (outer-pipe inner wall) comes into contact with an outer-wall portion of the inner pipe 2 (inner-pipe outer wall) (such that side-wall portions closing the outer pipe 1 cover the inner pipe 2).
  • the inside of the inner pipe 2 is defined as an inner channel 4 serving as a first channel
  • a space formed between the inner pipe 2 and the outer pipe 1 is defined as an outer channel 5 serving as a second channel.
  • An inlet and outlet of the outer channel 5 for a refrigerant are through holes formed in the wall surface of the outer pipe 1 and connects contact pipes.
  • a first fluid and a second fluid are allowed to flow in the inner channel 4 and the outer channel 5, respectively.

  • Fig. 2 shows an A-A' cross section in Fig. 1 (a pipe cross section. A cross section taken along a pipe-circumferential direction when viewed in a direction in which the fluids flow).
  • the double pipe heat exchanger of the present embodiment is configured by further inserting a heat transfer area enlargement pipe 3 having an undulating shape that includes projections and depressions, into a space portion of the outer channel 5.
  • an inner wall comes into contact with the inner-pipe outer wall at the depressed portions

  • a side wall obliquely traverses the outer channel 5 (the space between the inner pipe 2 and the outer pipe 1) in the pipe cross section, and comes into contact with the inner-pipe outer wall and the outer-pipe inner wall in oblique directions.
  • the heat transfer coefficient K is represented by Expression (2).
  • ⁇ 1 is the heat transfer coefficient of the first fluid
  • d1 is the hydraulic diameter of the inner channel 4
  • ⁇ 2 is the heat transfer coefficient of the second fluid
  • d2 is the hydraulic diameter of the outer channel 5.
  • ⁇ is the thermal conductivity of the inner pipe 2
  • dio is the outer diameter of the inner pipe 2
  • dii is the inner diameter of the inner pipe 2
  • R is a thermal resistance.
  • the heat transfer area enlargement pipe 3 comes into contact with the inner pipe 2 to serve as a fin, enabling the enlargement of the heat-transfer area relating to the heat exchange, which enables the increase of the amount of heat exchanged between the first fluid and the second fluid.
  • contact areas between the inner-pipe outer wall and the inner wall of the heat transfer area enlargement pipe are defined as inner contact portions 6 (and the length of the contact portions in the pipe-circumferential direction is denoted as L1).
  • contact areas between the outer-pipe inner wall and the outer wall of the heat transfer area enlargement pipe are defined as outer contact portions 7 (and the length of the contact portion in the pipe-circumferential direction is defined as L2).
  • portions serving as fins between the inner contact portions 6 and the outer contact portions 7 are defined as fin portions 16.
  • the double pipe heat exchanger is preferably formed such that the inner contact portions 6 and the outer contact portions 7 are each brought into contact at one point (point contact) in the pipe cross section.
  • the reduction of the contact areas increases, for example, the number of the fin portions 16 in a pipe circumference, a heat-transfer area per fin portion 16, and the like, increasing the heat-transfer area of the whole double pipe heat exchanger.
  • points as referred below do not mean mathematical points, which have no area or the like, but mean points that have areas to an extent of securing reliable contacts between the pipes. Note that the contacts will be described as the point contacts, but the contact areas are linear in the double pipe heat exchanger as a whole.
  • the contact thermal resistance at each inner contact portions 6 is increased. This reduces the heat transfer coefficient K in the above-described Expression (2), resulting in the reduction of the amount of heat exchange Q.
  • forming the inner contact portions 6 to be the point contacts may cause spots of poor contact. If there are spots at which, for example, the inner-pipe outer wall is not in contact with the inner wall of the heat transfer area enlargement pipe when the inner contact portions 6 are formed to be the point contacts, poor heat transfer occurs, which prevents many heat-transfer areas from being used efficiently.
  • the outer contact portions 7 are formed to be point contacts (the length L2 is reduced to zero) so as to expand the heat-transfer area.
  • the inner contact portions 6 are formed to have a contact length in the pipe cross section (contact areas are to form surfaces in the double pipe heat exchanger as a whole).
  • the outer contact portions 7 are formed to be the point contacts so as to enlarge the heat-transfer area, and the inner contact portions 6 are formed to have the contact length, which enables the prevention of the poor contact between the inner-pipe outer wall and the inner wall of the heat transfer area enlargement pipe. This does not impair but can enhance a heat-transfer performance.
  • the above-described double pipe heat exchanger of the first embodiment includes, as shown in Fig. 2 , the heat transfer area enlargement pipe 3 having the projection-and-depression (undulating) shape, in the outer channel 5 formed between the outer pipe 1 and the inner pipe 2.
  • the inner wall of the heat transfer area enlargement pipe is in contact with the inner-pipe outer wall
  • the outer wall of the heat transfer area enlargement pipe is in contact with the outer-pipe inner wall.
  • the fin portions 16 to be the side walls traverse the outer channel 5 in the pipe cross section.
  • portions of the heat transfer area enlargement pipe 3 to be the fin portions 16 are formed to be perpendicular to the outer pipe 1 and the inner pipe 2, forces applied to portions to be the inner contact portions 6 or the outer contact portions 7 are applied directly to the fin portions 16, in expanding or shrinking the pipe. This incurs the risk of forming the fin portions 16 bent into an unexpected shape. For this reason, the portions to be the fin portions 16 are formed not to be perpendicular, reducing loads posed on the portions to be the fin portions 16 in expanding or shrinking the pipe. Then, the fin portions 16 are brought into contact with the inner-pipe outer wall and the outer-pipe inner wall in oblique directions.
  • an angle ⁇ at which the inner-pipe outer wall comes into contact with the inner wall of the heat transfer area enlargement pipe and an angle ⁇ at which the outer wall of the heat transfer area enlargement pipe comes into contact with the outer-pipe inner wall are made to be angles less than 90 degrees, although this is not in particular intended to limit the angles.
  • Fig. 3 is a diagram for illustrating a lift of the heat transfer area enlargement pipe 3.
  • a lift of the heat transfer area enlargement pipe 3 For example, when the step of expanding or shrinking the pipe is performed, pressures more than necessary act on the inner pipe 2 and the heat transfer area enlargement pipe 3, the inner contact portions 6 of the heat transfer area enlargement pipe 3 may be deformed, and middle portions thereof, which should be in contact, may be lifted. The occurrence of the lift may increase, for example, the contact thermal resistance, which may impair a heat-transfer performance.
  • the fin portions 16 are brought into contact with the inner-pipe outer wall and the outer-pipe inner wall in the oblique directions, and in addition, the heat transfer area enlargement pipe 3 to be inserted into the outer channel 5 of the double pipe heat exchanger is made to have a shape in which the portions to be the fin portions 16, between the portions to be the inner contact portions 6 (depressed portions) and the portions to be the outer contact portions 7 (projecting portions), are formed into arc shapes in the pipe cross section.
  • Forming such a shape allows the heat transfer area enlargement pipe 3 to be deformed to bend, spreading (absorbing) loads on the heat transfer area enlargement pipe 3 even when the heat transfer area enlargement pipe 3 is pressed excessively against the inner pipe 2 in expanding the inner pipe 2 or shrinking the outer pipe 1. For this reason, also in the inner contact portions 6, unreasonable forces are not applied to the heat transfer area enlargement pipe 3, which can prevent a lift. This does not lose but can enhance a heat-transfer performance.
  • directions in which the portions to be the fin portions 16 are bent through expanding or shrinking are preferably directions in which the formed fin portions 16 project toward the inner pipe 2 side.
  • the fin portions 16 are deformed toward the inner pipe 2 side, increasing the contact areas between the fin portions 16 and the inner pipe 2, which enlarges the inner contact portions 6 in length. Heat can be thereby efficiently transmitted from the inner pipe 2.
  • the angle ⁇ ⁇ the angle ⁇ is satisfied, which reduces gaps between the heat transfer area enlargement pipe 3 and the inner pipe 2 in size. Therefore, for example, in brazing the inner contact portion 6, a brazing material is easy to penetrate. This allows heat to be further efficiently transmitted from the inner pipe 2.
  • the increase of the angle ⁇ weakens pressing force in the contact areas between the fin portions 16 and the outer pipe 1, which can suppress the enlargement of the outer contact portions 7 in size.
  • the shape of the heat transfer area enlargement pipe 3 is the arc shape, but is not limited to the arc shape, and a shape having a bent portion at least at one point can bring the advantages of scattering the loads on the portions to be the fin portions 16 and of preventing a lift in the inner contact portions 6.
  • the above description similarly holds in a double pipe heat exchanger in which, for example, the outer contact portions 7 are not the point contact, and similar advantages can be brought.

  • end points of the inner contact portion 6 may serve as fulcra to generate deformation when excessive external forces are applied to the outer pipe 1, the inner pipe 2, and the heat transfer area enlargement pipe 3. For this reason, as described in the second embodiment, in the heat transfer area enlargement pipe 3, the middle portion of the inner contact portion 6 may be lifted from the inner pipe 2, resulting in the loss of heat-transfer performance.
