Definitions

  • This invention relates to a heat transfer device and more particularly to a heat exchanger tube having integral fins.
  • heat exchange tubing for boilers, refrigerators, condensers and the like be provided with external fins.
  • Such heat transfer fins are usually brazed or soldered on the tubing except where the tube structure is very heavy and permits the fins to be cast, extruded, or rolled.
  • thin walled tubing and the fins are usually brazed or soldered together. This is not only expensive and time consuming, but frequently fails to result in a rigid and efiicient joint.
  • a brazed or soldered joint is of reduced heat exchange efiiciency for lack of unimpeded heat transfer through the joint.
  • Another heretofore known method of forming fins is a helical rol ing method which, however, has the disadvantage of requiring a fully formed round tube blank together with an internal mandrel and which has the further disadvantage of requiring a considerably thick tube wall and complicated apparatus and controls for the proper extension of integral fins.
  • This prior method is not readily adapted to formation of fins in conjunction with relatively thin sheet metal walls.
  • One object of this invention is to provide a simple lowcost but improved design of finned heat exchanger tube. Another object is to provide a thin-walled, relatively flat, sheet metal tube having a plurality of integral fins on the external and internal surfaces of the tube for improved heat transfer efiiciency. Another object is to provide an improved method for making a tubular form of heat exchanger unit having extended heat transfer surfaces and of improved heat transfer efliciency. A further object is to provide a method adapted to high speed mass production of finned tubing from sheet metal.

  • an elongated tube blank having double walls the opposed interior surfaces of which are contiguous but separable forming predete mined areas therebetween corresponding to a desired passageway system.
  • These types of structur s are exemplified by those obtained in accordance with the well-known method of U.S. Patent No. 2,690,002, granted September 28, 1954 to L. H. Grenell.
  • the walls of this type of structure are formed by pressure welding component sheets together in preselected areas between them while simultaneously forging opposed tube walls to swage fins from the material of the walls. Adherence is prevented by coating these preselected areas with stop-weld material which separates the component sheets during the deformation operation while the fins are being forged or swaged from the sheet material of the walls which are preferably of sheet metal.
  • the fins are preferably formed in a irection transverse the elongation of the sheet unit.
  • a finned tubing of greater eiiiciency and extended surface can be obtained by forging the tube blank to upset or swage fins thereon with the fins on one of the external surfaces, of the blank, being in alternate offset relationship with the fins formed on the other external surface of the tube blank.
  • the forging is done under sumcient pressure to induce internal metal flow within the tube blank which deforms or corrugates the interface between component sheets to form projections on the adjacent internal face between the component sheets disposed in intermeshed relationship with each other.
  • the foregoing is accomplished by a device having opposed teeth or pressure points with the pressure points of one side being staggered with respect to the pressure points on the other side.
  • the spaced-apart tube walls are provided with inwardly extending fin projections which additionally increase the heat transfer area of the tube blank and further provide means for inducing turbulence in the fluid flowing within the tubular structure.
  • FIGURES 1, 2, 3, and 4 which consists of a first said wall 1, the opposite side wall 2 both of which are integrated or preferably joined together by pressure welding at the lateral edges 3 and 4 so as to form at these lateral edges a unitary structure completely sealed together and requiring no extraneous brazing or welding materials.
  • Side wall It bears a series of external fins 5, while side wall 2 bears a second series of external fins 6.
  • the fins are integral with the tube walls, however, each of the fins 5 in the first series is in offset relationship with corresponding fins 6 of the second series.
  • side wall 1 is also provided with a series of internal fins '7 projecting inwardly within the tube structure.
  • the side wall 2 bears a similar series of fins 8 projecting inwardly of the tube structure in opposed direction to the fins 7 on side wall 1.
  • fins 7 and 8 form in effect transverse crirnps or rufiles functioning as transverse fin projections with the fin projections 7 of side wall 1 being in offset relationship with corresponding fin projections 8 of side Wall 2, with each series of fin projections forming a corrugated-like surface on the corresponding finned walls carrying them.
  • internal fin projections 7 on side wall 1 are also in offset relationship with the external fin projections of this side wall.
  • the internal fin projections 8 on side wall 2 are in offset relationship with the external fin projections 6 on this side wall.
  • the single fiuid passageway 9 may be generated by bulging of the finned walls 1 and 2 in any suitable manner but preferably by inflation, and, as also illustrated, is of lenticular shape. As will be obvious the shape of this passageway can be of various configurations from extremes of an ovoid shape to a rather fiat oblong or nearly rectangular shape.
  • the fins of the embodiment of FIGURES 1 to 4 can be formed with apparatus such as illustrated in FIG- URES 5 to 7 where 10 is a working end of an upper forging die and 11 is the working end of a lower forging die adapted for reciprocating cooperating relationship by means well known in the art.
  • These forging dies are illustrated as operating on a special fiat laminated stock generally indicated at 12 having opposed component layers 13 and 14 joined at their lateral edges 15 and 16 but maintained in separation at 17 in any suitable manner while in contiguity.
  • at 17 there may be provided a thin layer of any suitable weld or adherence preventing material.
  • Die block 19 is provided with a series of grooves between protruding lands 18.
  • die block 11 has a grooved working face provided with a series of spaced lands 19 for cooperating coaction with lands 18 of die block 10.
  • the lands 1.?) of die block 14 ⁇ are in offset relationship with lands 19 of die block 11 as a result of which, during forging, the opposed series of lands exert coextending areas of pressure to upset and deform the surface of the metal into external fin projections and concurrently induce sufficient flow of metal within the laminated stock 16 to deform the interface or line of separation 12 between component layers 13 and 14 to form the desired internal fin projections on the adjacent face of the component layers.
  • the laminated stock is swaged to produce the external fin projections 5 and 6 disposed in offset relationship to each other and the internal fin projections 7 and 8 in offset and intermeshed relationship with one another with their inter" face defined by the corrugated line of separation 20.
  • each of lands or teeth 18 and 19 are shaped by lengthwise tapering to be of greatest protrusion which is to say greatest approach, adjacent their mid-section with re spect to the corresponding opposing lands.
  • Such a die face arrangement works the greatest deformation of component sheets 13 and 14 adjacent the longitudinal mid-plane structure 12 to provide there the greatest extension of the fins 5 and 6.
  • the resultant uneven deformation of the blank Upon engagement of forging dies 19 and 11 into the laminated stock or blank 12 with the desired pressure or impact, the resultant uneven deformation of the blank also shapes the integral fins 5 and 6 to be tapered down in the ends 21, 22, 23, and 24 as shown in FIGURES l to 4.
  • the resultant blank now not only internally laminated but also externally and internally finned, may be, with or without annealing, suitably distended or bulged by injection of an inflation fluid pressure along the interface or unwelded area and erection of the side walls I and 2 and generation of the internal passageway 9. It is noted that the forged blank may be distended by inflation either freely or between sizing dies to give a desired longitudinal uniformity during the distention.
  • the embodiment of the tube structure of this invention is characterized by a streamline or tear drop cross-sectional configuration.
  • the finished tube consists of side wall 25 which bears a series of external fins 26 in olfset relationship to a similar series of external fin projections 27 extending from the opposite side wall 28.
  • These external fin projections of this embodiment are of greatest outward extension adjacent the leading lateral edge 29 which in conjunction with the leading edge 39 of external fins 25 and the leading edge 31 forms a generally rounded streamline leading fin section.
  • this embodiment is also formed with internal fin projections 33 extending internally from the inner sure face of said wall 25 with internal side projections 34 extending internally from inner surface of side wall 23 with each of the internal fin projections 33 being in olfset relationship with corresponding fin projections 34 of side wall 28.
  • the internal fin projections 33 on side wall 25 are in offset relationship with the external fin projections 26 on this wall.
  • FIGURE 8 can advantageously be formed from an internally laminated blank 35 in the apparatus shown in FIGURE 9, after the structure is inflated to the final finished form shown in FIGURE 8 between the spaced sizing platens 36 and 37, the working faces of which are closely spaced adjacent the trailing end 32 and more remotely spaced adjacent the leading edge
  • the internally laminated blank 35 preferably in completely annealed condition, is placed in the die cavity of the block 38 (FIGURE 9) where it is supported on the grooved working face of the lower movable forging ram 39, also nested in the cavity of the block 38.
  • Upper forging ram or die 4% is movable into the cavity of block 38 and is adapted, together with the lower ram 39, to subject the laminated blank 35 to a forging or swaging action.
  • the lateral edges of the blank are confined, thus edge 41, which will form trailing edge 32 of the finished tube, and also edge 42 of blank 39, which will form the leading edge 29 of the finished tube, are confined in the cavity of die block 38.
  • Working faces of the forging rams 39 and 40 are provided with a series of spaced teeth or lands 43 and 44, respectively, with the lands 43 in one series being in ofiset relationship with the lands 44 of the other series in a manner similar to that of the preceding embodiment.
  • forging lands 43 and 44 are tapered back as to approach edge 41, of the laminated blank 35, and to accomplish less finning and forging of the laminated blank 35.
  • specific configuration of forging lands has been shown, it is to be understood that the forging lands 43 and 44 may extend uniformly all the way across the working faceof the forging rams 39 and 46, respectively, to provide fins substantially completely across the tube structure, as, for example, shown in FIG- URES 10 and 11.
  • the swaged blank 35 now provided with a series of internal and external fins on both sides of component sheets 45 and 46, is then placed between suitably separated platens 36 and 37 (FIGURE 8) and subjected to internal inflation pressure so as to produce the space of the finished tube shown in FIGURE 8 having fluid passageway 47.
  • a flat, two-walled blank in any suitable manner.
  • Such blank may be formed by rolling or drawing a relatively thin-walled tube shut.
  • the blank may be formed by extrusion after which the extruded blank may be flattened either by rolling or passage through a sizing or drawing die. If naturally occuring oxide within the interior of such a blank is insufiicient for purposes of preventing welding, a coating of stop-weld material may be applied to the interior of the blank so as to prevent the undesired welding or sticking between the opposing inner walls of the blank during the rolling, drawing, or subsequent forging operation described herein.
  • a preferred mode of providing the blank is by the method described in the aforesaid U.S. Letters Patent No. 2,690,002 which method comprises superimposing two metal sheets together having between them an intervening layer of stopweld material extending in a pattern corresponding to a desired fluid passageway system, followed by pressure welding the sheets together in their adjacent areas not separated by the stop-weld material in any appropriate manner.
  • This type of blank is then suitable and ready for forging or swaging thereof to form the desired finned structure.
  • FIGURE 10 illustrates another embodiment of this invention wherein a strap type of heat exchanger 50 is made in accordance with this invention.
