    摘要: A tube for a thermal transfer device can include a wall having a length and having an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the inner surface forms a cavity. The tube can also include at least one first dimple pressed into the wall toward the cavity at a first location along the length of the wall, where the inner surface of the wall at the at least one first dimple is separated from itself by a first distance. The tube can further include at least one second dimple pressed into the wall toward the cavity at a second location along the length of the wall, where the inner surface of the wall at the at least one second dimple is separated from itself by a second distance. The cavity can be configured to receive a fluid that flows continuously along a length of the at least one wall.

    摘要: A counter-flow heat exchanger comprising a heat exchanger core including an inner wall and an outer wall radially outward and spaced apart from the inner wall. A first flow path is defined within the inner wall and a second flow path is defined between the inner wall and the outer wall. The heat exchanger core includes a primary flow inlet, a primary flow outlet and a middle portion therebetween. The inner and outer walls are concentric at the primary flow inlet of the heat exchanger core. The inner wall defines a first set of channels extending axially from the primary flow inlet to the middle portion of the heat exchanger core diverging away from a radial center of the heat exchanger core. The inner wall and the outer wall define a second set of channels extending axially from the primary flow inlet to the middle portion of the heat exchanger core converging toward the radial center of the heat exchanger core.

    摘要: An air-over evaporative heat exchanger with multi-lobed or “peanut” shaped tubes replacing conventional round or elliptical tubes. The tubes have a narrow horizontal cross section and tall vertical cross section to allow the multiplication of surface area in the same coil volume while maintaining or increasing the open-air passage area. This configuration allows the coil to have an overall external heat transfer coefficient much higher than a conventional coil, while the tube shape allows the use of thinner material, reducing the weight and cost of the heat exchanger.

    摘要: An apparatus and methods are provided for finless heat exchanger cores. A heat exchanger core includes an inlet header and an outlet header. The heat exchanger core also includes one or more curved channel frames disposed at least partially between the inlet header and the outlet header. The one or more curved channel frames have a first end and a second end, and one or more fluid passageways that direct flow of a first fluid in a first direction therethrough from the first end to the second end. In some embodiments, at least one of the one or more curved channel frames includes a rounded leading edge and a tapered trailing edge.

    摘要: The disclosure provides a flat tube for a microchannel heat exchanger and the microchannel heat exchanger, and relates to the field of air conditioners. The flat tube includes a first wallboard (1.1) and a second wallboard (1.2) that are formed separately; and the first wallboard (1.1) and/or the second wallboard (1.2) have/has a plurality of protrusion portions protruding into a refrigerant circulation cavity, to form multiple refrigerant channels arranged along a length direction of the flat tube. The flat tube for the microchannel heat exchanger uses a stamping method, thus reducing a production cost and a production difficulty.
