Hence, it is possible to: smoothly curve the axis lines of theinner pipe 1 and theouter pipe 2 in the state of keeping the cross sectional shapes of theinner pipe 1 and theouter pipe 2; and realize a highly accurate double pipe heat exchanger. - Further, the
inner pipe 1 has a plurality ofbulges 3 extending in the radial directions from the center, thebulges 3 communicate with one another, and a plurality ofgrooves 10 is formed at the outer circumference of the center portion.

bulges 3 is bent in the shape of waves in an axial cross-section and thetop portions 9 of the waves touch the inner surface of theouter pipe 2 at the outermost ends of thebulges 3. Hence, the flow channel of thesecond fluid 5 is not segmented and thus it is possible to sufficiently agitate thesecond fluid 5 and accelerate the heat exchange. - In addition, it is possible to provide a double pipe heat exchanger having a simple structure and being excellent in heat exchange performance.
- In the above configuration, a double pipe heat exchanger wherein only the center portions of the end edges of the

- In the above configuration, by forming the appearance of the
inner pipe 1 into the shape of a three-leaf clover in a cross section of theinner pipe 1, it is possible to provide a heat exchanger that: allows thesecond fluid 5 to flow uniformly at each part of the outer circumference of theinner pipe 1; and exhibits high heat exchange performance.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing the first production process of a double pipe heat exchanger according to the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the substantial part showing the second production process of the double pipe heat exchanger. -
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken on line III-III ofFIG. 2 . -

-
FIG. 1 shows the first production process of a double pipe heat exchanger according to the present invention, andFIG. 2 shows the second production process thereof. ThenFIG. 3 is a sectional view taken on line III-III ofFIG. 2 , andFIG. 4 shows a double pipe heat exchanger according to the present invention in the state of completion through the third production process. - The heat exchanger has an
outer pipe 2 and aninner pipe 1 that is inserted into theouter pipe 2. - The
inner pipe 1 is, except both the ends as shown inFIG. 1 , bent and formed into the shape of a three-leaf clover in cross section and thebulges 3 of the clover shape are bent into the shape of waves extending in the axial direction. Then the maximum radius of the clover shape is equal to the inner radius of theouter pipe 2. Both the ends of theinner pipe 1 are formed into a cylindrical shape and the outer diameter is equal to the inner diameter of theouter pipe 2. Further, threegrooves 10 are formed at the outer circumference of theinner pipe 1 at the center portion. - The
bulges 3 are formed into the shape of an inflated balloon as it is obvious fromFIG. 3 and they communicate with one another at the axis line (the center of the inner pipe 1). The width of each of thebulges 3 gradually increases up to the intermediate portion and then gradually decreases toward the tip thereof in the radius direction from the center of theinner pipe 1 to the outside. Then theinner pipe 1 is inserted into theouter pipe 2 so that only thetop portions 9 at the tips may touch theouter pipe 2. - With regard to the
outer pipe 2, as it is obvious fromFIG. 1 , a pair offlanges 8 is welded and fixed to both the ends of theouter pipe 2, a pair ofports 7 is provided at both the end portions in the axial direction, and thepipes 11 are protrusively attached there. - With regard to the
inner pipe 1 and theouter pipe 2 thus produced, theinner pipe 1 is inserted into theouter pipe 2 in the state of keeping the axis lines straight. Successively, only the opening rims 6 at the ends of theinner pipe 1 are fixed to the opening ends of theouter pipe 2 by welding. On this occasion, thetop portions 9 at the tips of thebulges 3 touch the inner surface of theouter pipe 2. The contact points of thetop portions 9 are not bonded. - Successively, external force is applied from the outer circumference of the
outer pipe 2 and theouter pipe 2 is bent together with theinner pipe 1 as shown inFIG. 4 . On this occasion, the axis line is deformed in the state where thetop portions 9 of thebulges 3 of theinner pipe 1 are supported by the inner surface of theouter pipe 2. - In that regard, the pipes are bent in the state where the
top portions 9 of thebulges 3 shown inFIG. 2 touch the inner surface of theouter pipe 2 to prevent the shape of the cross section of theouter pipe 2 from being extraordinarily deformed. Thereby, the whole body is bent as shown inFIG. 4 , for example. The shape of the bending is formed so as to conform to the installation route of piping. - A double pipe heat exchanger thus bent is connected through
flanges 8 as a part of the outlet pipe for the exhaust gas of an engine. Then cooling water as the second fluid 5: flows in from one of the pair ofpipes 11; flows between theinner pipe 1 and theouter pipe 2; and flows out from theother pipe 11. Meanwhile, an exhaust gas as thefirst fluid 4 flows in theinner pipe 1 and the exhaust gas is cooled with the cooling water. The exhaust gas flows snakily in thebulges 3 where the exhaust gas flows comparatively easily. Likewise, the cooling water also flows snakily on the outside of theinner pipe 1. At the same time, the cooling water flows along thegrooves 10 at the center portion of theinner pipe 1. - Although descriptions have been made on the basis of an EGR cooler in the above embodiment, the double pipe heat exchanger can be used as an oil cooler in place of the EGR cooler. On this occasion, it is possible to: run oil between the
inner pipe 1 and theouter pipe 2; and run cooling water in theinner pipe 1. Otherwise, it is also acceptable to: run the cooling water between theinner pipe 1 and theouter pipe 2; and run the oil in theinner pipe 1.
