Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of heat exchanger technology, and in particular relates to a coil heat exchanger and its preparation tooling and preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] A heat exchanger is a device for exchanging heat. It generally consists of two isolated, non-flowing channels or cavities. Fluids at a certain temperature and pressure flow within the two channels, forming heat exchange surfaces through materials with good thermal conductivity, thus achieving the purpose of heat exchange. In existing technology, coil heat exchangers generally have a circular cross-section, which is difficult to adapt to heat exchange between fluid media and solid materials, resulting in low heat exchange efficiency. Furthermore, the distance between the inlet and outlet ends of such coil heat exchangers is relatively large, making them unsuitable for certain equipment requiring water-electricity separation, and posing a safety risk. If the heat exchanger pipes are made into rectangles, existing technology presents challenges in the process of repeatedly bending rectangular tubes to form the heat exchanger tubes, making it difficult to integrally mold them, and causing problems such as cracking and wrinkling during bending.
