In the present invention, various forms of the convex shape of the convex portion and the concave shape of the concave portion seen in the cross section of FIG. 2 relating to the heat transfer area expansion tube can be considered, but as an example, the first embodiment is as follows. is there. The heat transfer area expansion tube 11 includes a plurality of outer contact portions 17, a plurality of inner contact portions 19, and a plurality of continuous portions 21. As shown in FIG. 2, the outer surface 17a of the outer contact portion 17 of the heat transfer area expansion tube 11 and the inner surface 3b of the outer tube 3 are in close contact, and in this example, the outer surface 17a and the inner surface 3b are in surface contact. is doing. That is, the outer surface 17 a of the outer contact portion 17 of the heat transfer area expanding tube 11 has substantially the same curvature as the inner surface 3 b of the outer tube 3. Similarly, the inner surface 19b of the inner contact portion 19 of the heat transfer area expanding tube 11 and the outer surface 5a of the inner tube 5 are in close contact, and in particular, in this example, the inner surface 19b and the outer surface 5a are in surface contact. That is, the inner surface 19 b of the inner contact portion 19 of the heat transfer area expanding tube 11 has substantially the same curvature as the outer surface 5 a of the inner tube 5. The same curved state may be obtained in the single state of each of the outer tube 3, the inner tube 5, and the heat transfer area expansion tube 11, or the center side or the radial direction of the double tube heat exchanger 1. You may obtain in the state which the assembly process accompanied by provision of some force from the outer side was completed.

The continuous portions 21 are respectively located between the adjacent outer contact portion 17 and the inner contact portion 19. In the present embodiment, the plurality of outer contact portions 17 are positioned at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and the plurality of inner contact portions 19 are also positioned at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. When viewed through the entire heat transfer area expansion tube 11, the arrangement pattern of the outer contact portion 17, the continuous portion 21, the inner contact portion 19, and the continuous portion 21 is repeated in the circumferential direction. Note that the convex portion 13 and the concave portion 15 do not have a clear boundary, and the convex portion 13 is constituted by an outer contact portion 17 and a portion closer to the outer side in the radial direction of the continuous portion 21, and the concave portion 15 is an inner contact portion. 19 and a portion closer to the inside in the radial direction of the continuous portion 21.

In the annular region 9 described above, the inside of the convex portion 13 and the outside of the concave portion 15 function as the second flow path 23. That is, the second flow path 23 is defined in the annular region 9 by the heat transfer area expanding tube 11.

More specifically, the second flow path 23 includes two portions, and the first portion includes the inner surface 17b of the outer contact portion 17 and the corresponding inner surfaces 21b of the pair of continuous portions 21. And the outer surface 5a of the inner tube 5. Moreover, the part of a 2nd aspect is demarcated by the outer surface 19a of the inner side contact part 19, the outer surface 21a of a corresponding pair of continuous part 21, and the inner surface 3b of the outer tube | pipe 3. As shown in FIG. The parts of the first aspect and the parts of the second aspect are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction.

In such a configuration, the first fluid is circulated in the first flow path 7, and the second fluid is circulated in the second flow path 23. The first fluid and the second fluid have different temperatures, and heat exchange is performed between the first fluid and the second fluid via the heat conduction of the inner tube 5 and the heat transfer area expansion tube 11.

Generally, there is a relationship shown in Formula (1) among the exchange heat quantity Q, the heat transfer area A, the heat transfer coefficient K, and the temperature difference dT between the first fluid and the second fluid.

Also, the heat transfer coefficient K can be expressed by equation (2).

The meaning of each notation is as follows. α1: heat transfer coefficient of fluid 1, d1: hydraulic diameter of flow path 1, α2: heat transfer coefficient of fluid 2, d2: hydraulic diameter of flow path 2, λ: thermal conductivity of inner pipe, dio: inner pipe Outer diameter, doi: inner diameter of inner tube, R: thermal resistance

Since the heat transfer area expansion tube 11 described above acts as a fin by contacting the inner tube 5, the heat transfer area can be expanded, and the exchange heat amount of the first fluid and the second fluid can be increased. .

Here, the flow state of the refrigerant when the gas-liquid two-phase flow flows in the second flow path 23 will be described with reference to FIGS.

reference numerals

3b, 5a, 17b, 19a, 21a, and 21b shown in FIG.

Therefore, in the present invention, the following groove non-formation range and groove formation candidate range are set, the groove non-formation range is a groove-free surface, and at least part or all of the groove formation candidate range is along the flow direction. A groove extending in the direction is formed. The first embodiment is an example in which grooves are formed in the entire groove formation candidate range.

Details of the non-groove formation range and the groove formation candidate range will be described. Specifically, the inner surface (the inner surface 17b of the outer contact portion 17) of the portion of the heat transfer area expanding tube 11 that is in close contact with the inner surface 3b of the outer tube 3 in the inner surface of the heat transfer area expanding tube 11 is within the groove non-forming range. is there. Furthermore, the part which demarcates the 2nd flow path 23 in cooperation with the outer surface of the heat-transfer area expansion tube 11 among the inner surfaces 3b of the outer tube 3 is also a groove | channel non-formation range. A groove 25 described later is not formed in each of these groove non-formation ranges.

Further, the groove formation candidate range is from the portion defining the second flow path 23 in cooperation with the outer surface 5a of the inner tube 5 in the inner surface of the heat transfer area expanding tube 11 to the aforementioned groove non-forming range (outer contact portion 17). Of the heat transfer area expanding tube 11 and the portion defining the second flow path 23 in cooperation with the inner surface 3b of the outer tube 3 (continuous). The outer surface 21a of the portion 21 and the outer surface 19a of the inner contact portion 19) and the portion of the outer surface 5a of the inner tube 5 that defines the second flow path 23 in cooperation with the inner surface of the heat transfer area expansion tube 11.

In the first embodiment, as described above, no groove is formed in the groove non-forming range, and the groove is formed in the entire groove forming candidate range, and more specifically, as follows. A portion of the outer surface 5a of the inner tube 5 that defines the second flow path 23 in cooperation with the outer contact portion 17 and the pair of continuous portions 21, and an outer surface 19a of the inner contact portion 19 of the heat transfer area expanding tube 11 are continuous. Grooves 25 are formed in the outer surface 21 a and the inner surface 21 b of the part 21. Further, the inner surface 17b of the outer contact portion 17 and the inner surface 3b portion of the outer tube 3 that defines the second flow path 23 in cooperation with the inner contact portion 19 and the pair of continuous portions 21 are set as groove-free surfaces. . Although not particularly limited as the present invention, in the first embodiment, the outer surface 17a of the outer contact portion 17 of the heat transfer area expanding tube 11 and the inner surface 3b of the outer tube 3 that is in close contact with the outer surface 17a. The portion is a grooveless surface, and the inner surface 19b of the inner contact portion 19 and the outer surface 5a portion of the inner tube 5 that is in close contact with the inner surface 19b are grooveless surfaces.

The groove 25 is formed in a manner extending along the flow direction in order to smoothly flow the refrigerant in the flow direction. Note that the grooves in FIGS. 3 and 4 are schematically drawn, and in FIG. 2, the illustration of the grooves is omitted for the sake of clarity of the drawings.

In addition, since it is possible to shape the heat transfer area expansion tube 11 by press molding or drawing, the groove 25 is formed at the same time during press molding or drawing to simplify the processing. Further, the heat transfer area expansion tube 11 is configured such that the heat transfer area expansion tube 11 in which the groove 25 is formed is inserted into the annular region 9 between the outer tube 3 and the inner tube 5 and the outer tube 3 is contracted. Or it is supported by the outer tube 3 and the inner tube 5 depending on whether the inner tube 5 is expanded.

Alternatively, a mode in which the inner pipe 5 and the outer pipe 3 and the heat transfer area expanding pipe 11 are more securely brought into close contact with each other by brazing the respective contact surfaces is also suitable. Specifically, after assembling the heat transfer area expanding tube 11 to the outer tube 3 and the inner tube 5, a brazing material is applied to the contact surface, the brazing material is melted by brazing in a furnace, etc. You may braze. In addition, when it is difficult to apply the brazing material after the heat transfer area expansion tube 11 is assembled to the inner tube 5 and the outer tube 3, a clad material in which the brazing material is previously applied to the heat transfer area expansion tube 11 is used. You can braze it.

According to the double pipe heat exchanger 1 configured as described above, the following excellent advantages can be obtained. The predetermined portion of the outer surface 5a of the inner tube 5 and the outer surface 19a of the inner contact portion 19 are portions that are extremely close to the first flow channel 7 among the portions that define the second flow channel 23, and have an effectiveness as a heat transfer surface. The highest part. Moreover, the continuous part 21 exists between the part of the 1st aspect mentioned above of the 2nd flow path 23, and the part of the 2nd aspect, and the inner and outer surfaces of the continuous part 21 give the effect of a fin to the continuous part 21. It is a heat transfer surface that is effective when heat exchange is performed between the second fluid between the portion of the first embodiment and the portion of the second embodiment (internal relationship of the second flow path 23). . Therefore, the groove 25 is formed as described above, so that the predetermined portion of the outer surface 5a of the inner tube 5 near the first flow path 7, the outer surface 19a of the inner contact portion 19 that is in close contact with the inner tube 5, and the continuous portion. The liquid refrigerant can be actively collected on the inner and outer surfaces of 21. In addition, the predetermined portion of the inner surface 3b of the outer tube 3 and the inner surface 17b of the outer contact portion 17 which are less effective as a heat transfer surface far from the first flow path 7 are relatively groove-less surfaces. The liquid refrigerant is less likely to collect than the predetermined portion of the outer surface 5a and the outer surface 19a, and as a reaction effect, it assists the liquid refrigerant to collect on the predetermined portion of the outer surface 5a, the outer surface 19a and the inner and outer surfaces of the continuous portion 21. . That is, a large amount of liquid refrigerant having a high heat transfer rate is supplied to the predetermined portion of the inner surface 3b of the outer tube 3 and the inner surface 17b of the outer contact portion 17 which are less effective as the heat transfer surface, and accordingly, the heat transfer surface is increased accordingly. As described above, the supply amount of the liquid refrigerant to the predetermined portion of the outer surface 5a having high effectiveness, the outer surface 19a, and the inner and outer surfaces of the continuous portion 21 is suppressed from decreasing. As described above, according to the present embodiment, even when a gas-liquid two-phase flow flows in the second flow path, the heat exchange performance can be enhanced by effectively utilizing the heat transfer surface.

In addition, in the first embodiment, the outer surface 17a of the outer contact portion 17 of the heat transfer area expanding tube 11 and the inner surface 3b portion of the outer tube 3 that is in close contact with the outer surface 17a are formed as groove-free surfaces. Likewise, the inner surface 19b of the inner contact portion 19 and the outer surface 5a portion of the inner tube 5 that is in close contact with the inner surface 19b are formed as non-grooved surfaces. The adhesiveness with the expansion tube 11 can be maintained high, and not only that, but the heat transfer efficiency by the heat transfer area expansion tube 11 is particularly high due to the high adhesion between the inner tube 5 and the heat transfer area expansion tube 11. And the presence of the heat transfer area expansion pipe 11 can be efficiently utilized.
