Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0547363A1] The invention relates to a metal heat-exchanger tube (1) having integral fins (2 or 3), running round on the outside and inside in the shape of a helix, for cooling viscous fluids (4), in particular oil in servo circuits of vehicles, the fluid (4) to be cooled flowing through the tube (1) and the outside thereof being cooled by air (5). A discontinuous rise in heat removal is achieved according to the invention by the following features: a.) the ratio of the external heat transfer area Aa of the tube (1)/internal heat transfer area Ai of the tube (1) is: <IMAGE> b.) the relationship: <IMAGE> holds for the clear internal diameter di of the tube (1), with internal diameter di (mm), volumetric <IMAGE> of the fluid (4) (m<3>/h), kinematic viscosity nu (mm<2>/s). <IMAGE>
