Abstract
Description
- The present application claims the benefit of priority under 35 USC 119 to Chinese patent application 201910174617.8, filed Mar. 8, 2019, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to the technical field of plate-fin heat exchangers, and in particular, to a plate-fin heat exchanger core.
- According to the statistics, in the world's primary energy consumption, energy passing through heat exchangers accounts for about 80%. Therefore, it is of great significance to improve the comprehensive heat transfer efficiency of heat exchangers for energy conservation. Compared with other heat exchangers, plate-fin heat exchangers have compact and firm structure, high heat transfer efficiency, light weight, high flexibility and high adaptability. Their heat transfer coefficient is 5-8 times higher than that of shell-and-tube heat exchangers, weight is 80% lower than that of shell-and-tube heat exchangers, and heat transfer area density is 6-10 times that of shell-and-tube heat exchangers. Plate-fin heat exchangers are widely used in petrochemical, aerospace, military, shipbuilding, refrigeration and other fields, and have achieved significant economic benefits in utilizing thermal energy, recovering waste heat, saving raw materials and reducing costs, etc.
- The plate-fin heat exchanger is composed of heat exchange fin, partition plate, sealing strip, distributing fin, end plate, header and fluid inlet and outlet nozzles. The plate-fin heat exchanger core includes partition plate, fin and sealing strip. The fins are supported by the partition plates, and adjacent partition plates are sealed by the sealing strip. The repeating units are stacked and connected by diffusion welding or brazing into a whole. A major part of heat transfer between the hot and cold fluids in the channel is completed through the fin structure between the partition plates, while a minor part is completed through the partition plates. Since the fins cannot directly exchange heat, they are called “the secondary surfaces”. The fins have various structural forms such as offset strip fins, wavy fins, straight fins, porous fins, louvered fins and pin fins. The plate-fin heat exchanger can improve heat transfer by means of increasing the heat exchange area and turbulence intensity.
- Scholars at home and abroad have carried out research on the plate-fin heat exchangers. Some scholars have proposed a plate-fin structure (CN207163297) and a fin-tube structure (CN207763553U) with a dimple/protrusion structure. The dimple/protrusion fin structure is used to increase the heat exchange area and form a turbulent effect, so as to generate vortexes and secondary flow and make the flow boundary layer develop continuously. In this way, the dimple/protrusion fin structure achieves the purpose of enhancing heat transfer. However, a recirculation zone is formed behind the turbulence, which locally weakens the heat transfer at the rear side of protrusion and inner front side of the dimple and significantly increases the flow resistance. Some scholars have proposed a porous plate-fin structure (CN104390508). When the fluid flows near the pore, lateral mixing occurs to thin the boundary layer. The flow resistance of the porous plate-fin increases as the porous rate increases with ignorable change in heat transfer However, due to the large number of pores, the heat exchange area is reduced, and the comprehensive heat transfer performance is not significantly improved. In addition, the pore structure weakens the strength of the plate-fin heat exchanger and reduces the pressure resistance of the plate-fin structure.
- In summary, it is urgent to optimize the structure design of the plate-fin heat exchanger. The optimization is significant for improving the comprehensive heat transfer efficiency of the plate-fin heat exchanger, reducing the flow resistance of the plate-fin heat exchanger, achieving energy saving and reducing consumption, and reducing enterprise production costs.
- In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, an objective of the present invention is to provide a plate-fin heat exchanger core and a fin structure thereof.

- Further, a hole on the perforated dimple and the perforated protrusion can have an offset from the center of the corresponding perforated dimple/perforated protrusion.
- Further, an offset hole on the perforated protrusion can be located on an inflowing leeward side and an offset hole on the perforated dimple can be located on an inflowing side.

- The plate-fin heat exchanger core can be composed of a partition plate, a perforated dimple/protrusion fin and a sealing strip. Adjacent fins can be supported by the partition plate, and adjacent partition plates can be sealed with the sealing strip to form an impervious fluid channel. The fluid channel can realize the flow of different fluid and the flow of downflow, counterflow, cross flow of different fin layers.
- In various embodiments, the fin structure of the plate-fin heat exchanger core mainly combines the structural characteristics of porous and dimple/protrusion fins. In various embodiments, different positions of the hole on the perforated dimple/protrusion structure are punched. In various embodiments, the hole includes non-offset hole and offset hole.
