Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a double pipe heat exchanger that is: used as an EGR cooler, an oil cooler, or the like; and bent along the piping route of a vehicle.
  • An EGR cooler is interposed in the middle of the pipe for the exhaust gas of an engine and cools the exhaust gas with cooling water.
  • An example thereof is “a double pipe heat exchanger” disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-161871.
  • the heat exchanger has a double pipe structure comprising an inner pipe and an outer pipe, and radiator fins are integrally bent and formed at an intermediate portion in the axial direction of the inner pipe. That is, a large number of protrusions are formed in the radial directions from the center in a cross section at the intermediate portion of the inner pipe.
  • a conventional EGR cooler is interposed into a linear part located in the middle of the exhaust gas pipe for an engine.
  • the positioning of the EGR cooler is inflexible, the number of parts increases, and the production cost as a whole has been obliged to increase.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide: a double pipe heat exchanger that has a simple structure and can be easily bent along a piping route; and a method for producing the double pipe heat exchanger.
  • the present invention according to claim 1 is a double pipe heat exchanger wherein:
  • a second fluid ( 5 ) flows between the inner pipe ( 1 ) and the outer pipe ( 2 ).
  • the present invention according to claim 2 is a double pipe heat exchanger according to claim 1 , wherein only the center portions of the end edges of the balloon-shaped bulges ( 3 ) on the outside in the radial directions touch the inner surface of the outer pipe ( 2 ).
  • the present invention according to claim 3 is a double pipe heat exchanger according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein:
  • the present invention according to claim 4 is a double pipe heat exchanger according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein:
  • the present invention according to claim 5 is a double pipe heat exchanger according to any one of claims 1 to 4 , wherein, in an axial cross-section of the inner pipe ( 1 ):
  • the present invention according to claim 6 is a method for producing a double pipe heat exchanger according to any one of claims 1 to 5 , comprising the processes of:
  • a double pipe heat exchanger and a production method thereof according to the present invention are configured as stated above and exhibit the following effects.
  • a double pipe heat exchanger is: formed by bending the inner pipe 1 and the outer pipe 2 in the state where the outer pipe 2 is fitted outside the inner pipe 1 ; and, in the state, configured so that the inner pipe 1 may have a plurality of bulges 3 and the top portions 9 at the outermost ends of the waves formed on the bulges 3 may touch the inner surface of the outer pipe 2 .
  • the inner pipe 1 has a plurality of bulges 3 extending in the radial directions from the center, the bulges 3 communicate with one another, and a plurality of grooves 10 is formed at the outer circumference of the center portion.
  • the cross section hardly deforms when the inner pipe 1 and the outer pipe 2 are bent by applying external force. That is, since the top portions 9 of the waves of the inner pipe 1 touch the inner surface of the outer pipe 2 , the top portions 9 support the outer pipe 2 in the event of plastic deformation. Resultantly, a specific bush or the like is not required at deforming and bending can be applied.
  • each of the bulges 3 is bent in the shape of waves in an axial cross-section and the top portions 9 of the waves touch the inner surface of the outer pipe 2 at the outermost ends of the bulges 3 .
  • the flow channel of the second fluid 5 is not segmented and thus it is possible to sufficiently agitate the second fluid 5 and accelerate the heat exchange.
  • a double pipe heat exchanger wherein only the center portions of the end edges of the bulges 3 on the outside in the radial directions touch the inner surface of the outer pipe 2 can further smoothen the flow of the second fluid 5 and accelerate the heat exchange. That is, the second fluid 5 can flow nearly all around the outer circumference of the bulges 3 .
  • a double pipe heat exchanger of the same configuration is used as an oil cooler to cool oil with cooling water, it is possible to provide an oil cooler conforming to various pipes and flow channels and contributing to space-saving.
  • the inner pipe 1 by forming the appearance of the inner pipe 1 into the shape of a three-leaf clover in a cross section of the inner pipe 1 , it is possible to provide a heat exchanger that: allows the second fluid 5 to flow uniformly at each part of the outer circumference of the inner pipe 1 ; and exhibits high heat exchange performance. Besides, it is possible to: bring the outer circumference of the inner pipe 1 into contact with the inner circumference of the outer pipe 2 in a balanced manner; bend the integrated body of the inner pipe 1 and the outer pipe 2 while avoiding extraordinary deformation of the cross sectional shape of the outer pipe 2 ; and provide a high performance heat exchanger.
  • a method for producing a double pipe heat exchanger includes the processes of: inserting the inner pipe 1 into the outer pipe 2 while keeping the axis lines straight; welding only the opening rims 6 at both the ends of the inner pipe 1 in the axial direction of the axis line to the outer pipe 2 ; and successively bending the inner pipe 1 and the outer pipe 2 by applying external force.
  • 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 of FIG. 2 .
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective explanatory view of a double pipe heat exchanger completed through the third production process.
  • FIG. 1 shows the first production process of a double pipe heat exchanger according to the present invention
  • FIG. 2 shows the second production process thereof.
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken on line III-III of FIG. 2
  • FIG. 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 an inner pipe 1 that is inserted into the outer pipe 2 .
  • the inner pipe 1 is, except both the ends as shown in FIG. 1 , bent and formed into the shape of a three-leaf clover in cross section and the bulges 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 the outer pipe 2 . Both the ends of the inner pipe 1 are formed into a cylindrical shape and the outer diameter is equal to the inner diameter of the outer pipe 2 . Further, three grooves 10 are formed at the outer circumference of the inner pipe 1 at the center portion.
  • the bulges 3 are formed into the shape of an inflated balloon as it is obvious from FIG. 3 and they communicate with one another at the axis line (the center of the inner pipe 1 ).
  • the width of each of the bulges 3 gradually increases up to the intermediate portion and then gradually decreases toward the tip thereof in the radius direction from the center of the inner pipe 1 to the outside. Then the inner pipe 1 is inserted into the outer pipe 2 so that only the top portions 9 at the tips may touch the outer pipe 2 .
  • a pair of flanges 8 is welded and fixed to both the ends of the outer pipe 2 , a pair of ports 7 is provided at both the end portions in the axial direction, and the pipes 11 are protrusively attached there.
  • the inner pipe 1 is inserted into the outer pipe 2 in the state of keeping the axis lines straight. Successively, only the opening rims 6 at the ends of the inner pipe 1 are fixed to the opening ends of the outer pipe 2 by welding. On this occasion, the top portions 9 at the tips of the bulges 3 touch the inner surface of the outer pipe 2 . The contact points of the top portions 9 are not bonded.
  • the pipes are bent in the state where the top portions 9 of the bulges 3 shown in FIG. 2 touch the inner surface of the outer pipe 2 to prevent the shape of the cross section of the outer pipe 2 from being extraordinarily deformed.
  • the whole body is bent as shown in FIG. 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.
  • cooling water as the second fluid 5 flows in from one of the pair of pipes 11 ; flows between the inner pipe 1 and the outer pipe 2 ; and flows out from the other pipe 11 .
  • an exhaust gas as the first fluid 4 flows in the inner pipe 1 and the exhaust gas is cooled with the cooling water.
  • the exhaust gas flows snakily in the bulges 3 where the exhaust gas flows comparatively easily.
  • the cooling water also flows snakily on the outside of the inner pipe 1 .
  • the cooling water flows along the grooves 10 at the center portion of the inner pipe 1 .
  • the double pipe heat exchanger can be used as an oil cooler in place of the EGR cooler.
