Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2071266A1] The present invention relates to a hot water corrugated heat transfer tube that exchanges heat between its interior and exterior. A plurality of projections, each whose height (H1) is in the range of 0.5 mm - 1.5 mm is provided in at least one part of the inner surface of a portion positioned in a section of a corrugated heat transfer tube, where the Reynolds number (Re) of the fluid flowing in the interior of the tube is less than 7,000. The height H1 of the projections is in the range of 0.05 - 0.15 times the inner diameter D or the height H1 of the projections is in the range of 1 - 3 times the depth (Hm) of the corrugated grooves. As a result, with a simple structure, the heat transfer performance in the low Reynolds number zone is improved, and the pressure loss inside the tube is small.
