Accordingly, the water contacting area of coolant and cooling water is maximized by forming coolant circulation paths composed of two or more spiral grooves inserted in the circumference edge of the inner pipe through which cooling water is circulated, and the cooling of circuited coolant and cooling water itself is realized by a direct contact with a pipe body as a contact medium, rather than by the fluid itself having low heat conductivity, thereby maximizing the heat conductivity.

Description

Description A HEAT EXCHANGE PIPE FOR A REFRIGERATING
MACHINE
Technical Field
[1] The present invention relates to a heat exchange pipe for a refrigerating machine, and more particularly, to a heat exchange pipe for a refrigerating machine in which two or more spiral grooves through which coolant flows are formed in a circumference edge of an inner pipe of water cooling heat exchange pipe composed of a double pipe, thereby maximizing a contacting area of coolant and cooling water, and in which the coolant and the cooling water flows in a turbulent manner, thereby maximizing heat exchange efficiency.
Background Art
[2] Generally, a refrigerating machine comprises a compressor for pressurizing and transferring a coolant, a condenser for cooling the pressurized and transferred coolant from the compressor, and an evaporator for expanding the cooled and supplied coolant from the condenser and absorbing and cooling a heat from the circumference.
[3] The condenser of the refrigerating machine as described above is configured to realize cooling through contact with air in atmosphere by arranging heat exchange pipes in zigzag and placing cooling fins between the heat exchange pipes.
[4] There is a problem with the heat exchange pipe of the conventional condenser as described above in that the cooling is realized by contact with the air in atmosphere, resulting in poor heat exchange efficiency.
[5] Accordingly, the heat exchange pipes are formed by a double tubular body to circulate the cooling water through the inner pipe, and a coolant circulation path through which the coolant is circulated is formed between the inner and the outer pipes such that the cooing is realized by direct contact with cooling water rather than the cooling by convection motion, resulting in maximized cooling efficiency. Disclosure of Invention
Technical Problem
[6] However, there is a problem with the conventional heat exchange pipe formed by the double pipe as describe above in that it is difficult to maintain uniformly spacing of the coolant circulation path defined between the inner and the outer pipes, and because the flow of the coolant and the cooling water is simple laminar flow, heat exchange with the coolant remote from the inner pipe through which the coolant is circulated is not made smoothly.
Technical Solution
[7] Accordingly, the present invention is conceived to solve the aforementioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a heat exchange pipe for a refrigerating machine which two or more spiral grooves through which coolant is flowed are formed in the circumference edge of an inner pipe of a water cooling heat exchange pipe made of a double pipe to maximize a contacting area of coolant and cooling water and also flow of coolant and cooling water is made in a turbulent manner to maximize heat exchange efficiency.
Advantageous Effects
[8] Accordingly, the present invention has an advantage that the water contacting area of the inner pipe which is a contacting medium of the coolant and the cooling water is maximized by forming the coolant circulation path made of the two or more grooves which are grooved on the circumference edge of the inner pipe through which the cooling water is circulated, and the cooling of the circulated coolant and the cooling water themselves is realized by the direct contact with the tubular body which is the contacting medium not by the fluid itself of which the heat conductivity is low.
Description of Drawings
[9] The above and other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art by describing in detail preferred embodiments thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
[10] Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing an example according to the present invention;
[11] Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing an example according to the present invention; and
[12] Fig. 3 is a front- sectional view showing an example according to the present invention.
Best Mode
[13] According to the present invention for achieving the object, there is provided a heat exchange pipe for a refrigerating machine having an inner pipe through which cooling water is circulated, and coolant circulation paths formed between the inner pipe and an outer pipe, the heat exchange pipe comprising:
[14] two or more spiral grooves 30 formed therein, the spiral grooves forming the coolant circulation paths on a circumference edge of the inner pipe 10 and spiral protrusions projected inside the inner pipe.
Mode for Invention [15] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[16] The present invention is intended to maximize a contacting area of coolant and cooling water. And, the present invention is intended to maximize heat exchange efficiency by causing turbulence by circular stream. A heat exchange pipe for a refrigerating machine comprises an inner pipe 10 which forms cooling water circulation path and coolant circulation paths formed between the inner pipe 10 and outer pipe 20. The heat exchange pipe comprises two or more spiral grooves 30 formed therein, the spiral groove forming the coolant circulation paths on a circumference edge of the inner tube 10 and spiral protrusions projected inside the inner pipelO.
[17] Here, it is preferable that ridge portions of the spiral grooves 30 are formed to adhere closely to the inner wall of the outer pipe so that two or more of the coolant circulation paths that are formed by the spiral grooves 30 form independent paths, respectively.
[18] And, it is preferable that said spiral grooves 30 comprise three spiral grooves, and a ratio of the flow rate of the inner pipe 10 through which the cooling water is circulated to the flow rate of the spiral grooves 30 through which the coolant is circulated is 1:3.
[19] Hereafter, a heat-exchange process according to the present invention will be described.
[20] According to the present invention, an inner pipe 10 is implemented which has cooling water circulation paths and coolant circulation paths formed between the inner pipe 10 and outer pipe 20, in which the heat exchange pipe comprises two or more spiral grooves 30 which form coolant circulation paths in a circumference edge and spiral protrusions which are projected inside the inner pipelO apply to a refrigerating machine. Consequently, the cooling water flowing into the inner pipe 10 is flowed and circulated in a circular stream so that the cooling water of a central portion and contacted with the inner pipe 10 is mixed and circulated and then flowed, and the coolant which flows along the spiral grooves which are formed on the outer surface of the inner pipe 10 also is circulated and flowed and coolant of the central portion and outside of the inner pipe is circulated and flowed.
[21] As described above, if the central portion and the outside of the coolant are mixed with each other, cooling is realized by heat transfer through direct contact with the metallic inner pipe leading to uniform circulation of coolant, rather than by heat transfer of the coolant itself having heat conductivity lower than that of metal. The heat transfer in the cooling water is performed in the same process, such that the cooling of the coolant by the cooling water is realized efficiently.
[22] In addition, the coolant can flow along the spiral grooves 30 in which the outer wall of the inner pipe 10 is inserted, thereby maximizing the water contacting area.
Industrial Applicability
[23] Accordingly, the present invention has an advantage that the water contacting area of the inner pipe which is a contacting medium of the coolant and the cooling water is maximized by forming the coolant circulation path made of the two or more grooves which are grooved on the circumference edge of the inner pipe through which the cooling water is circulated, and the cooling of the circulated coolant and the cooling water themselves is realized by the direct contact with the tubular body which is the contacting medium not by the fluid itself of which the heat conductivity is low.
