Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014130281A1] A heat exchanger includes a plurality of fins and a plurality of tubes passing a fluid therethrough, extending through the plurality of fins and radially expanded into an interference fit therewith. At least one tube of the plurality of tubes includes an outer diameter, an inner diameter, and a plurality of ridges extending from the inner diameter inwardly into an interior of the tube. A tube internal surface area per unit of length of the tube multiplied by the ratio of the outer diameter and tube wall thickness is equal to or greater than about 30.0.
