Description
- The subject matter disclosed herein relates to heat exchangers. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to forming enhanced tubes for microchannel heat exchangers.
- Present microchannel heat exchanger systems are refrigerant to air applications. These systems include a plurality of microchannel tubes, typically formed of aluminum. The tubes each contain a number of channels or ports through which a flow of refrigerant is circulated. Thermal energy from the refrigerant flow is dissipated to an airflow, typically in a cross-flow orientation relative to the flow in the tubes. Such microchannel heat exchangers are typically applied to motor vehicle cooling systems.
- Typical industrial air conditioning and refrigeration systems include a refrigerant evaporator or chiller. Chillers remove heat from a cooling medium that enters the unit, and deliver refreshed cooling medium to the air conditioning or refrigeration system to effect cooling of a structure, device or a given volume. Refrigerant evaporators or chillers use a liquid refrigerant or other working fluid to accomplish this task. Refrigerant evaporators or chillers lower the temperature of a cooling medium, such as water or other fluid, below that which could be obtained from ambient conditions.
- One type of chiller is a flooded chiller, which typically includes a number of typically round heat exchange tubes submerged in a volume of a two-phase boiling refrigerant, having a specified boiling temperature. A cooling medium, often water, is processed by the chiller. The cooling medium enters the evaporator and is delivered to the heat exchange tubes. The cooling medium passing through the tubes releases its thermal energy to the boiling refrigerant.
- According to one aspect of the invention, a heat exchange tube for a refrigerant-flooded evaporator includes a tube body and a plurality of channels for conveying a cooling medium therethrough located in the tube body. One or more outer wall textural elements are included at the outer wall of the tube body to improve thermal energy transfer between the cooling medium and a volume of boiling refrigerant.
- According to another aspect of the invention, a refrigerant-flooded evaporator includes a volume of two-phase refrigerant and a plurality of heat exchange tubes submerged in the volume of refrigerant. At least one heat exchange tube of the plurality of heat exchange tubes includes a tube body and a plurality of channels having a cooling medium flowing therethrough located in the tube body. One or more outer wall textural elements are located at the outer wall of the tube body to improve thermal energy transfer between the cooling medium and the volume of two-phase refrigerant.
- According to yet another aspect of the invention, a method of forming a heat exchange tube for a refrigerant-flooded evaporator includes urging a billet into an extruded section and forming the billet into two tube halves including an outer wall and an inner wall having a plurality of channel halves. A textural element is formed at one or more of the outer wall and the inner wall via one or more rotating dies, and the two tube halves are joined to form the heat exchange tube.
- These and other advantages and features will become more apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the drawings.
- The subject matter, which is regarded as the invention, is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the claims at the conclusion of the specification. The foregoing and other features, and advantages of the invention are apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a method of forming a heat exchange tube; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a heat exchange tube; -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a heat exchange tube half; -
FIG. 4 is a schematic of textural elements of an inner wall of a tube half; -
FIG. 5 is a schematic view of textural elements of an outer wall of a tube half; and -
FIG. 6 is a schematic view of another embodiment of a method of forming a heat exchange tube. - The detailed description explains embodiments of the invention, together with advantages and features, by way of example with reference to the drawings.
- Shown in
FIG. 1 is a schematic of a method of formingmicrochannel tubes 10 for a refrigerant flooded evaporator. The method is utilized for forming themicrochannel tubes 10 which, as shown inFIG. 2 , include atube body 12 that may be non-circular in shape, for example, oval or elliptical. A plurality ofchannels 14, or ports, is configured for refrigerant flow therethrough. Thetube body 12 may include any number of channels, for example between about 2 and 20 channels. In some embodiments, thetube body 12 is about 1 inch in width and includes about 10-16channels 14 therein. In other embodiments, the tube body may include about 4-6channels 14 therein. It is to be appreciated that these embodiments are merely exemplary and other configurations are contemplated within the present scope. - Referring again to
FIG. 1 , the method begins with abillet 16 of a selected raw material. In some embodiments, the material is copper or a copper alloy, but other materials, for example, aluminum and aluminum alloys are contemplated within the scope of the present disclosure. The billet is fed into aheating section 18 in pairs by aram 20. Thebillet 16 pairs are heated to a selected temperature, and then urged through anextrusion section 22, where thebillet pairs 16 are shaped intotube halves 24, shown also inFIG. 3 . Eachtube half 24 includes anouter wall 26 and aninner wall 28 that includes a plurality ofchannel halves 30. - Referring again to
FIG. 1 andFIG. 3 , theextruded tube halves 24 are then urged through atexture section 32. Thetexture section 32 includes one or more rotatingdies 34 affixed to bearings (not shown) and driven by separate or shared drive motors (not shown). The rotating dies 34 emboss textural elements or patterns into theouter wall 26 and/or thechannel halves 30 of thetube halves 24. Thetube halves 24 then proceed to aunitization section 38 where they are secured to each other such as for example by brazing or solid state diffusion bonding. It is contemplated within the scope of the current invention that other suitable joining techniques may also be used. - Referring now to
FIGS. 4-5 , the textural elements or patterns added to theouter wall 26 and or thechannel halves 30 may take many forms. For example, as shown inFIG. 4 , theinner wall 28 may be embossed with a plurality ofdimples 40, or a plurality ofgrooves 42 or fins 44 that are configured to increase heat transfer between acooling medium 46 flowing through thechannels 14 and theouter wall 26 by improving mixing of thecooling medium 46 in thechannels 14. In some embodiments, thegrooves 42 or fins 44 may be arranged in a helical and/or cross-hatched pattern. As shown inFIG. 5 , the textural elements on theouter wall 26 may beridges 48,pockets 50, or other similar shape with sharp edges to improve nucleate boiling of a volume ofrefrigerant 52 in which thetubes 10 are submerged. Further, in some embodiments, theridges 48 or other textures may be arranged helically of in a cross-hatched pattern on theouter wall 26. - In another embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 6 , thetube halves 24 are urged over a rotatingdie 34 which forms patterns or textures in thechannel halves 30 of thetube halves 24. Thetube halves 24 then proceed to theunitization section 38 where they are joined. The joinedtube 10 then proceeds through anothertexture section 32, including more rotatingdies 34 that apply textural elements or patterns to theouter wall 26 of thetube 10. - While the invention has been described in detail in connection with only a limited number of embodiments, it should be readily understood that the invention is not limited to such disclosed embodiments. Rather, the invention can be modified to incorporate any number of variations, alterations, substitutions or equivalent arrangements not heretofore described, but which are commensurate with the spirit and scope of the invention. Additionally, while various embodiments of the invention have been described, it is to be understood that aspects of the invention may include only some of the described embodiments. Accordingly, the invention is not to be seen as limited by the foregoing description, but is only limited by the scope of the appended claims.
