However, any of the above-mentioned conventional methods for treating the surface of a heat transfer tube with hydrophilicity can achieve a certain degree of hydrophilicity, but is not sufficient, and has the following problems.

[0007] In the mechanical polishing method, fine powder containing carbon and oil removed by polishing is reattached to the surface of the heat transfer tube, thereby impairing the surface hydrophilicity. In addition, although good hydrophilicity can be obtained immediately after the treatment, the surface of the metal heat transfer tube exposed by polishing is easily affected by the surrounding atmosphere, so that stains and the like adhere to the surface and the hydrophilicity is deteriorated with time. Will deteriorate.

In the surface chemical treatment method, facilities such as pickling and water treatment are required, and the maintenance cost for these facilities is high. Further, in general, the processing takes a long time, so that the productivity is poor. Further, similarly to the mechanical polishing method, although good surface hydrophilicity can be obtained immediately after the treatment, there is a disadvantage that the hydrophilicity deteriorates with time.

In the heat treatment method, it is necessary to raise the surface of the metal tube to the decomposition temperature of the processing oil (normally, 300 ° C. or higher). However, in the case of a copper tube generally used as a heat transfer tube, Since the temperature exceeds the softening temperature of copper (about 250 ° C), the mechanical strength decreases. There is also a flame treatment method in which only the surface of the metal tube is locally heated with a flame in order to avoid softening due to temperature rise.However, the flame is uniformly applied to the entire circumference of the tube, and the treatment is performed so as not to soften the tube. It is difficult to perform such processing, and uneven processing is likely to occur.

According to the present invention, a discharge (plasma discharge or corona discharge) is performed by applying a voltage between the electrode and the metal tube by the discharge generating device while moving the metal tube relative to the electrode by the transfer means. ). Then,
The application of a voltage accelerates free electrons existing in the air, and the free electrons repeatedly collide with molecules in the air, thereby causing an avalanche phenomenon. Then, many high-energy electrons collide with the surface of the metal tube. The collision of the electrons causes a so-called sputtering action in which carbon, oil and the like attached to the surface of the metal tube are removed. A part of the oil remains on the surface of the metal tube, and the remaining oil is also in a state in which the chains of the molecules are cut by the collision of electrons.

Further, the metal surface from which the organic substances have been removed reacts with ozone to form a metal oxide film on the surface of the metal tube. Since this metal oxide does not have the activity of a simple metal and exists in a stable state, it is hardly affected by the surrounding atmosphere.

In the present invention, as described above, in addition to the sputtering action by the discharge, the oxidizing action of ozone generated by the discharge is effectively used to impart hydrophilicity to the surface of the metal pipe, thereby deteriorating the mechanical strength of the copper pipe. There is no fear of causing
Workability is also good. Further, since the surface of the metal tube after the treatment is covered with the metal oxide film, the deterioration with time of hydrophilicity is suppressed.

The effect of such a discharge treatment is better as the discharge output per unit length of the electrode is larger. That is,
The higher the collision energy of electrons per unit length, the better the hydrophilic surface can be obtained. For example, when the clearance between the electrode and the object to be processed is as small as 0.5 to 1 mm, the electron energy emitted by the discharge is small, and the above-described discharge is required unless the electrode length is increased or the processing speed is reduced. The effect of the processing cannot be sufficiently obtained.

In the present invention, the electrode is constituted by a double tube of an insulator tube and a metal outer tube, so that the discharge output per unit length of the electrode can be increased. In this case, the discharge output improves as the thickness of the insulating body tube decreases. However, if the thickness of the insulating tube is less than 3 mm, a short circuit is likely to occur due to local insulation breakdown of the insulating tube. On the other hand, if the thickness of the insulating body tube exceeds 6 mm, the discharge output is significantly reduced, so that good hydrophilicity cannot be obtained. Therefore, the thickness of the insulating tube is 3 to 6 mm.

d0) is set to 1.5 to 2. When Di / d0 is less than 1.5, the collision energy of electrons becomes small, and when Di / d0 exceeds 2, it becomes difficult for the discharge to reach the surface of the metal tube from the electrode. Can not. Therefore, it is necessary to set the ratio (Di / d0) of the inner diameter Di of the metal outer tube to the outer diameter d0 of the metal tube to be treated to 1.5 to 2.

At the electrode 5, a plasma discharge or a corona discharge is generated by the high voltage, and free electrons existing between the electrode 5 and the metal tube 3 are accelerated to ionize molecules in the gas to avalanche the electrons. The phenomenon occurs. Then, many high-energy electrons collide with the surface of the metal tube 3. Due to the collision of the electrons, the hydrophobic organic substances attached to the surface of the metal tube 3 are vaporized and separated from the tube surface. Also, some of the organic matter remains on the tube surface.
The molecular chain is cut by the collision of electrons. Further, oxygen in the air reacts by the discharge to generate ozone.

Using the apparatus having the structure shown in FIG.
A copper tube made of phosphorus deoxidized copper having a thickness of 0.6 mm and a thickness of 0.6 mm was subjected to a hydrophilic treatment. That is, the copper tube is passed through the electrode having a length of 250 mm at a constant speed of 3 m / min.
A high voltage of 14 kV was applied to generate a discharge. The electrode is formed by a double tube of an inner tube made of high-density ceramics and an outer tube made of metal. Table 1 below shows the inner diameter and wall thickness of the insulated tube, the ratio of the inner diameter of the metal outer tube to the outer diameter of the copper tube to be processed, and the output per unit length of the electrode.

As is clear from Tables 1 and 2, when the treatment was performed according to Comparative Examples 1, 2 and 4, the output per unit length of the electrode was smaller than that of the embodiment, and therefore, the wetting index of the tube surface was reduced. And the hydrophilicity is not sufficient. In the case of the treatment according to Comparative Example 3, although the output per unit length of the electrode was large and the wettability index of the tube surface was large, short-circuiting occurred shortly after the start of discharge. On the other hand, when the treatment was performed according to the example, the output per unit length of the electrode was large, so that the wetting index of the tube surface was large, and good hydrophilicity could be obtained.
In addition, short-circuit did not occur even after long-time discharge, and a good discharge state was exhibited.

1. A metal tube hydrophilic treatment apparatus for continuously subjecting a surface of a metal tube to a hydrophilic treatment, wherein an electrode on which a metal tube to be treated is disposed is provided, and the metal tube is attached to the electrode with respect to the electrode. Conveying means to move relatively, in air or oxygen-containing
A discharge generating means for generating a discharge by applying a voltage between the electrode and the metal tube in an atmosphere, wherein the electrode is fitted to an insulating body tube having a thickness of 3 to 6 mm and an outer side of the inner tube. And an inner diameter Di of the metal outer tube.
And the ratio of the outer diameter d0 of the metal tube to be treated (Di / d
0) is set to 1.5 to 2, wherein the hydrophilic treatment device for a metal tube is provided.
