FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The claimed heat exchanging device is a device that can be used for thermal and cool
treatment of media, namely, liquids, gases, suspensions and slurries.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] It is known a multi-channel heat exchanging apparatus, comprising a package of at
least three pipes arranged coaxially to form annular channels, two installed toward
each other collector rings with outer coaxial stepped cylindrical surfaces, introduced
into the channels and contacting with their walls, wherein each of the collectors
has two longitudinal deaf channels communicated with the respective annular grooved
channels (Patent of the Russian Federation No. 54731, IPC 6 F 28 D 7/10).
[0003] Disadvantage of this construction is the complexity of manufacture, as it consists
of a large number of parts, as well as insufficient contact with the surface of heat
exchanging device, which reduces the heat exchange efficiency.
[0004] There are heat transfer tubes that have inserts in the form of longitudinal ribs
in the central part and radial transversal ribs on the outer surface of the heat transfer
tube (See
USA patent No. 4.031.602, IPC F28F 11/00, published on 28.06.1977). The shape of the insert increases the
area of the inner surface of the tube, as well as heat transfer characteristics designed
to increase the efficiency of heat transfer, i.e. increases the heat transfer performance
of the tube.
[0005] These heat exchange tubes have fewer parts than the previous analogue, but still
are complicated to manufacture.
[0006] The most similar technical essence has the "Heat exchanger for fuel heating device"
made by extrusion, comprising a tubular round shaped body and numerous radial branches
inside and outside. At that there are much more internal branches than the external
ones. The branches are located at a certain equal distance from each other (see
USA Patent No. 4657074, IPC F28F 1/42, published 19.02.1986). Selected by the authors as the closest analogue).
Such heat exchanger is also complicated to manufacture.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0007] The device is intended to increase the area of contact of medium with the heat exchanging
device, increase the amount of cooled or heated medium, decrease the operating costs
and provide manufacturing simplicity.
[0008] The proposed heat exchanging device is made in the form of profile product manufactured
by extrusion that comprises pushing high viscosity material through a profiling tool
and molding this product with formation of specified forms. The profile product is
made of a ductile metal such as aluminum.
[0009] The problem is solved by the fact that the heat exchanging device is designed as
follows. It consists of a single part made by extrusion in the form of a tubular body
with external and internal radial branches, at that the tubular body in a circumferential
direction has identical longitudinal round holes, and on the outer surface of the
tubular body there is at least one mount. Internal and external radial branches taper
from the base to the edge of branches and are made sinusoidal with constant step and
amplitude in one of the solutions. They can be made of the same width from the base
to the edge of branches. The sinusoids of external radial branches can be made with
variable amplitude and step from the base to the edge of branches. The external radial
sinusoidal branches can be made of different length relative to each other and at
different distances from each other. The external and internal radial branches can
be made with complementary undulating projections. The longitudinal round holes are
made along the entire circumference of the tubular body at equal distances from each
other. On the walls of the longitudinal round holes additional radial undulating projections
directed inside the holes can be made. The mounts can be made in the form of projections
with round bulge on the top and different length and may be located in different places
on the outer surface of the tubular body. The height of radial branches made on the
outer surface of the tubular body can be equal to zero. Simultaneously in the heat
exchanging apparatus two or more devices can be used.
[0010] The specified location and specified length of radial sinusoidal external and internal
branches provide the maximum necessary contact with the surface of the heat exchanging
device and medium moving inside and heat exchange medium or coolant moving outside.
At that the heat exchanging device can be used to move various media that require
cooling or heating over a long distance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0012] The heat exchanging device consists of one piece 1 (fig. 1). It is made by extrusion.
The device has technological gaps 2 and 3, which are subsequently welded (fig. 2).
The heat exchanging device is made as a tubular body 4 with the external 5 and internal
6 radial branches. The geometry of the radial external 5 and internal 6 branches is
determined by calculation, depending of the thermal balance of the specified device.
The tubular body in a circumferential direction has identical longitudinal round holes
7 (fig. 3). The device is designed to be mounted inside the case 8 and is fixed inside
the case 8 in the protruding parts 9 with apertures 10 by means of a fastener located
on the external surface of the tubular body. The fastener is made in the form of projections
11 at the edges 12 (fig. 4). The fastener can be of different length and is made in
various places on the external surface of the tubular body (fig. 11). The number of
fasteners is chosen by calculation and depends on the type of the case in which the
heat exchanging device is used. The device provides for the passage through the heat
exchanging apparatus at least three media, for example, cooling medium 13, operating
media that require cooling 14 and 15, or heat carrier 13, operating media that require
heating 14 and 15, etc. At that the operating medium that requires cooling or heating
can be various and different from the medium 13 and can be different in various formed
channels. Internal radial branches 6 and external radial branches 5 can be made tapered
from the base to the edge of branches. They can be made sinusoidal with a constant
step 16 and amplitude 17. They can have the same width from the base to the edge of
branches 18. The heat exchanging device can be installed in the round case 8 (fig.
3) or in the square case (fig. 5). The sinusoids of external radial branches 5 can
be made with variable amplitude and step form the base to the edge of branches. The
external radial sinusoidal branches can be made of different length 19 relative to
each other and at different distances from each other, for example, in the heat exchange
device fixed secured in a square case (fig. 6). The external radial branches 5 and
internal radial branches 6 can be made with complementary undulating projections 20
and 21 to increase the area of contact of media with the surface of the heat exchanging
device and to increase the heat exchange (fig. 7, 8). The longitudinal round holes
15 are made along the entire circumference of the tubular body at equal distances
from each other. On the walls of the longitudinal round holes 15 additional radial
undulating projections 22 directed inside the holes 15 in order to increase the area
of contact of media with the heat exchanging device can be made. The height of radial
external branches 5 made on the outer surface of the tubular body can be equal to
zero (fig. 11). Simultaneously two or more devices can be used. For example, four
heat exchanging devices with external sinusoidal radial branches 5 of different length
in relation to each other, fixed in the square case (fig. 9), or eight heat exchanging
devices with external sinusoidal radial branches 5 of different length in relation
to each other, fixed in the round case (fig. 10).
[0013] Depending on the length of the heat exchanging device, the media can be moved over
long distances.
[0014] The heat exchanging device is manufactured, for example, of aluminum by extrusion,
consisting in constant pushing of melted high viscosity material through a forming
tool - drawing nozzle, in order to obtain the product with a desired cross-sectional
form.
Industrial applicability
[0015] The device operates as follows.
[0016] The heat exchanging device is installed in the case 8 and fixed by fastener 9, 10,
11, 12. Then it is connected to operating equipment. Cooling or heating medium, for
example, 13, passes through the walls of the external radial branches 5 of the device
cools or heats them throughout their length. The cooling or heating taken by the outer
walls of the external radial branches 5 of the device is passed to the inner walls
of the internal radial branches 6 of the device. Being heated or cooled the inner
walls of the internal radial branches 6 of the device transfer cold or heat to media
14 and 15.
[0017] The design of the heat exchanging device is simple, economical and effective due
to the increased amount of cooled or heated media and increased area of contact of
media with the heat exchanging device. The product is made as a single piece, which
simplifies the assembly of the heat exchanging device and results in a reduction of
operating costs.
