Definitions

  • the subject matter disclosed herein relates to heat exchangers. More specifically, the subject disclosure relates to improved tube EP 2525181 A1 discloses a heat exchanger having the features in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a simplified typical vapor compression refrigeration cycle includes an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and an expansion device.
  • Refrigerant flow is such that low pressure refrigerant vapor passes through a suction line to the compressor.
  • the compressed refrigerant vapor is pumped to a discharge line that connects to the condenser.
  • a liquid line receives liquid refrigerant exiting the condenser and directs it to the expansion device.
  • a two-phase refrigerant is returned to the evaporator, thereby completing the cycle.
  • evaporator and condenser heat exchangers Two of the main components in a vapor compression cycle are the evaporator and condenser heat exchangers.
  • the most common type of heat exchanger in use is of the round tube plate fin (RTPF) construction type.
  • RTPF round tube plate fin
  • the tubes were made of copper while the fins were typically made of aluminum in such heat exchangers.
  • the thermal performance of a heat exchanger is inversely proportional to the sum of its thermal resistances.
  • HVAC&R heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration
  • the airside thermal resistance contributes 50-70% while refrigerant side thermal resistance is 20-40% and the metal resistance is relatively small and represents only 6-10%. Due to the continuous market pressure and regulatory requirements to make HVAC&R units more compact and cost effective, a lot of effort has been devoted to improving the heat exchanger performance on the refrigerant side as well as the airside.
  • RTPF heat exchangers Internally enhanced round tubes used in RTPF heat exchangers allow significant heat exchanger thermal performance enhancement by improving refrigerant side heat transfer. These tubes are typically fabricated via extrusion or drawing process and mechanically expanded into the fin pack to assure good metal-to-metal contact between the tubes and the fins.
  • the internally grooved (IG) tube technology is mature for Cu alloys, allowing helically shaped enhancement profiles to be fabricated by the drawing process and expanded without significant tube internal enhancement damage.
  • the HVAC&R industry started to move from Cu to Al, primarily due to the cost reasons.
  • the Al alloys have inherently different mechanical properties and the Al IG tubes typically produced by the extrusion manufacturing process have axial enhancements that are not as advanced as helical configurations promoting wetting the entire internal perimeter of the tube by the liquid refrigerant and more efficient annular refrigerant flow at the extended range of refrigerant mass fluxes. Therefore internal enhancements for Al tubes require higher secondary-to-primary heat transfer surface ratios and more compact internally enhanced finned surfaces that, along with the softer Al material, create significant challenges for the expansion process.
  • a heat exchanger in one embodiment, includes a plurality of fins and a plurality of tubes passing a fluid therethrough, extending through the plurality of fins and radially expanded into an interference fit therewith. At least one tube of the plurality of tubes includes an outer diameter, an inner diameter, and a plurality of ridges extending from the inner diameter inwardly into an interior of the tube. After expansion of the tube into interference fit with the plurality of fins, a tube internal surface area per unit of length of the tube multiplied by the ratio of the outer diameter to the inner diameter and divided by a tube wall thickness, is equal to or greater than 30.0.
  • a round tube plate fin (RTPF) heat exchanger 10 such as one utilized as an evaporator or condenser.
  • the RTPF heat exchanger 10 includes a plurality of tubes 12 and a plurality of fins 14.
  • the plurality of tubes 12 carries a fluid, for example, a refrigerant. Thermal energy is exchanged between the fluid and air flowing past the plurality of fins 14.
  • the tubes 12 may be formed of an aluminum or aluminum alloy by, for example, an extrusion or drawing process, while in other embodiments, the tubes 12 maybe formed of other materials, for example, copper, Cu-Ni, steel or plastic.
  • the tubes 12 are inserted into the openings 16 in the fins 14 and mechanically expanded via, for example, one or more bullets inserted into an interior of the tubes 12.
  • the expansion of the tubes 12 ensures sufficient tube 12 to fin 14 contact for heat transfer purposes and also secures the tubes 12 in a predetermined position in the heat exchanger 10, relative to the fins 14.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a partial cross-sectional view of a tube 12 of a heat exchanger 10.
  • the tube 12 includes a plurality of enhancements, or ridges 18 extending into an interior 20 of the tube 12.
  • the tube 12 has an outer diameter 22 and an inner diameter 24, with the ridges 18 (also called in-tube fins or enhancements) extending inwardly from the inner diameter 24 into the interior 20 of the tube 12.
  • the ridges 18 extend along a length 26 of the tube 12. In some embodiments, the ridges 18 extend substantially axially, while in other embodiments, the ridges 18 extend helically along the tube 12 at a helix angle 30 with respect to a tube axis 28.
  • each ridge 18 has a base width 32 at a base 38 of the ridge 18, a top width 34 at a tip 40, or most radially inwardly portion of the ridge 18, with a groove width 36 spacing between adjacent ridges 18 at the base of adjacent ridges 18.
  • each ridge 18 extends from base 38 to tip 40 defining a ridge height 42, and sides 44 of each ridge 18 may converge at a ridge angle 46, so-called the apex angle of the ridge 18.
  • each ridge 18 includes a top fillet 52 between the tip 40 and sides 44.
  • the top width 34 is defined herein as a distance along the tip 40 to a theoretical intersection between the tip 40 and the sides 44.
  • a base fillet 54 may connect sides 44 and groove 56.
  • Base width 32 and groove width 36 are similarly defined using a theoretical intersection point between the sides 44 and the groove 56. It is to be appreciated that while circular tubes having inner and outer diameters are described herein, the present disclosure may also be applied to tubes 12 with non-circular cross-sections.
  • tubes 12 and ridges 18 all relate to the post-expanded state of the tube 12, or dimensions and features of the tubes 12 and ridges 18 after the tubes 12 have been expanded, securing the tubes 12 to the fins 14.
  • An unenhanced tube 12 has an internal surface area per unit length A. When A is divided by ID, it results in a surface enhancement ratio, ⁇ .
  • ⁇ is related to a ratio of tube wall thickness 48 and the outer diameter 22 by the expression: ⁇ ⁇ 30.0 ⁇ T w / OD
  • the tubes 12 satisfying this requirement in the post-expanded state achieve sufficient tube 12 to fin 14 interference for thermal performance and for securing the tube 12 to the fin 14, while ensuring minimal thermal performance degradation due to distortion of the interior surfaces of the tube 12, such as the groove 36 and ridge 18 structure.
  • Liquid layer distribution and containment within the ridged area, or the individual areas between ridges 18, is directly related to the size of this area and has an immediate impact on heat transfer coefficient or thermal resistance of single-phase or two-phase refrigerant flowing inside the tubes 12.
  • a ratio of S to a square of the outer diameter 22 to be greater than or equal to 4%, or: S / OD 2 ⁇ 0.040
  • An amount of surface area available for contact with an expansion bullet (not shown) utilized in the interior 20 of the tube 12 is critical in determining an axial force required to be applied to the expansion bullet to achieve the necessary expansion of the tube 12. It is desired to achieve the expansion with the smallest force possible to prevent excessive deformation of ridges 18, buckling and/or galling of interior tube 12 surfaces and features, so it is desired to have wider ridges 18 as compared to the inner diameter 24 so that a lower axial expansion force is required to achieve a desired, uniform radial expansion of the tube 12. As such it is desired that a ratio of the ridge top width 34 to the inner diameter 24 multiplied by the number of ridges 18 is greater than or equal to 1.60 or a ⁇ N / ID ⁇ 1.60
  • the ridge angle 46 is the key to determining the surface enhancement ratio ⁇ , the free volume S contained between ridges 18 and a weight of the tube 12.
  • Surface enhancement ratio ⁇ and free volume S drive thermal performance of the tube 12, while tube weight affects cost of the tube 12.
  • the ridge angle 46 must be designed to yield optimal results given these competing constraints, and defines a cross-sectional area of the ridges 18. Desired ratios of ridge 18 size to inner diameter 24 is expressed as follows: a + b ⁇ h ⁇ 0.5 / ID 2 ⁇ 0.0014 and h / ID ⁇ 0.045
  • the outer diameter 22 is about 7mm, with an inner diameter 24 of 5.8 mm, resulting in a wall thickness 48 of about 0.6 mm.
  • the tube 12 has 50 ridges 18, each ridge 18 having a ridge height 42 of about 0.32 mm, a base width 32 of about 0.212 mm and a top width 34 of about 0.185 mm.
  • the ridge angle 46 is about 4.8 degrees.
  • Equation (2) requiring that ⁇ ⁇ (OD / T w ) ⁇ 30.0, the result is 33.4.
  • Equation (4) requiring that S / (OD) 2 is greater than or equal to 0.040, yields the result 0.047.
  • Equation (5) requiring that OD / ID ⁇ 1.185, results in a ratio of 1.181.
  • Equations (7) and (8) yield results of 0.0016 and 0.046 compared to requirements of greater than or equal to 0.0014 and greater than or equal to 0.045, respectively.
