BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a drain device of a heat exchanger, and more particularly, to a drain device of a heat exchanger that completely discharges circulating water in a heat exchanger by a simple structure,

Generally, a heat exchanger is designed to perform heat exchange with a heating medium, a heat source, or cooling and heating water in an air conditioner such as a boiler or an air conditioner. The heat exchanger has a heat exchanging pipe, A plurality of radiating fins are coupled to the outside of the heat exchange pipe, and a blowing fan for supplying heat or outside air to one side of the main body may be provided.

In the case of using such a heat exchanger, when the operation of the apparatus is stopped during a power failure or absence in the winter season, the freezing of the circulation water may be generated on the heat exchange pipe. To prevent this, the circulation water is drained 1, which will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

1, a conventional heat exchanger 10 has a heat dissipating fin 13 coupled to an outer periphery of a heat exchange pipe 12 formed on a main body 11, An inlet pipe 14 and an outlet pipe 15 are connected to allow the circulating water to flow in and out. The inlet pipe 14 has an inlet header 16 for distributing the circulating water on the heat exchange pipe 12, And the outflow pipe 15 is connected to the outflow side header 17 for collecting and circulating the circulation water.

The heat exchanger 10 is provided with a drain device for forcibly discharging the circulating water to the outside in order to prevent the circulating water in the heat exchange pipe 12 from freezing when the operation is stopped during the winter season. A drain valve 20 for discharging the circulating water to the lower end of the inlet pipe 14 or the outlet header 16 located on the lower side of the main body 11 and a drain valve And an air valve 21 positioned on the upper side of the headers 16 and 17.

However, such a conventional drain device has a limitation in completely discharging the circulating water in the heat exchange pipe 12, which is elongated in a staggered form as the drain device is coupled to the header 16, 17 side, There is a limitation in increasing the effect of preventing frost.

This is because when a plurality of straight tubes are vertically arranged when the heat exchange pipe 12 is installed and when the tubes are connected to each other by a U-shaped band-shaped pipe 12b, (See Fig. 5 (a)) or a concave portion is formed in the joint portion of the straight tube or the bare band tube 12b due to defects in assembly or fabrication, There is a possibility that the circulating water remains on the side of the straight tube or tube-like tube 12b facing the freezing point, and freezing may occur.
