[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application provides a specific embodiment of a synchronous distortion integrated double-pipe heat exchanger, which comprises an outer pipe 1, an inner pipe 2 and a turbulence belt.
[0052] The outer pipe 1 in the embodiment is located outside, and the inner pipe 2 is arranged in the outer pipe 1.
[0053] The outer diameter of the inner pipe 2 is smaller than the inner diameter of the outer pipe 1, and the gap between the outer pipe 1 and the inner pipe 2 is a first flow channel for flowing a flow medium, and the lumen of the inner pipe 2 is a second flow channel for flowing another flow medium.
[0054] Specifically, the flow media in the two flow channels are flow media with temperature difference, the first flow channel can be hot flow medium, and the second flow channel can be cold flow medium, and in the process of flowing of the two, heat exchange is carried out through the pipe wall of the inner pipe 2 to achieve the effect of heat exchange. The flow directions of the two flow media are opposite, which enhances the heat exchange effect.
[0055] The turbulence belt in the embodiment is arranged in the first flow channel and the second flow channel, and is used for disturbing the flow.
[0056] Specifically, when the flow flows in the flow channel, the flow collides on the turbulence belt and is disturbed, so that the flow can contact the wall of the inner tube 2, and the heat exchange effect is enhanced.
[0057] The heat exchanger provided in the embodiment is provided with the turbulence belt in the lumen of the inner tube 2, i.e. the second flow channel, and in the gap between the outer tube 1 and the inner tube 2, i.e. the first flow channel. When the flow flows through the first flow channel and the second flow channel, the flow is disturbed under the action of the turbulence belt, and intense turbulence is caused, so that more flow participates in heat exchange, the heat exchange effect is effectively enhanced, and the heat exchange performance is improved.
[0058] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the embodiment, the turbulence belt at least includes an inner turbulence belt 4 arranged in the inner tube 2 and used for disturbing the flow in the inner tube 2. The inner turbulence belt 4 extends along the length direction of the inner tube 2, and is twisted in the circumferential direction of the inner tube 2.
[0059] The structure of the inner turbulence belt 4 is as follows. The inner turbulence belt 4 is in a strip shape, and the length of the inner turbulence belt 4 can be equal to the length of the inner tube 2. The inner turbulence belt 4 is twisted and arranged in the inner tube 2 in a twisted state. The outer edge of the inner turbulence belt 4 in the twisted state can abut against the inner wall of the inner tube 2. When the flow flows in the inner tube 2, the inner turbulence belt 4 in the twisted state can disturb the flow to a certain extent, and the flow not only flows in the axial direction, but also flows in the radial direction and generates vortex, so that intense turbulence is caused, and the heat conduction is effectively enhanced.
[0060] The specific structure of the inner turbulence belt 4 provided in the application can be as follows. The inner turbulence belt 4 is in a strip shape. The cross section of the inner turbulence belt 4 perpendicular to the length direction is in a single-rod shape or a multi-rod shape. The single-rod shape is in a straight line shape. The multi-rod shape is that a plurality of rods are connected at one end. The plurality of rods are distributed in the radial direction in the same plane, and the included angle between any two adjacent rods is equal. The number of rods in the multi-rod shape is greater than two, and the lengths of the plurality of rods are equal.
[0061] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the embodiment, the cross section of the inner turbulence belt 4 can be in a single-rod shape, i.e. a straight line shape. When the inner turbulence belt 4 is stretched, the inner turbulence belt 4 is in a rectangular shape.
[0062] The cross section of the inner turbulence belt 4 can also be in a multi-rod shape, i.e. a plurality of rods. The plurality of rods are distributed in the same plane. One end of the plurality of rods is connected together, and the other end is distributed in the radial direction and is uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction, i.e. the included angle between any two adjacent rods is equal.
[0063] It should be noted that the single rod shape can also be understood as having two rods, the two rods being connected at the same end and diverging at the other end, and the included angle between the two rods being 180 degrees.
[0064] Specifically, the number of rod bodies of the multi-rod shape is greater than two.
[0065] For example, Figure 5 and Figure 6 In another embodiment, the number of rod bodies can be three, forming a triangle.
[0066] For example, Figure 7 and Figure 8 In yet another embodiment, the number of rod bodies can also be four, forming a cross shape.
[0067] Therefore, the inner twist belt 4 provided in the present application can be a single shape, a triangle or a cross shape, and the number of rod bodies can also be more than four, forming a polygon.
[0068] When the cross section is a multi-rod shape, each rod corresponds to a twist piece, and the single-shaped inner twist belt 4 corresponds to two twist pieces.
[0069] In this way, when the inner twist belt 4 rotates and twists around itself, each twist piece twists correspondingly, forming a spiral distribution and extension, and the fluid flows between the two twist pieces along the spiral track, which is equivalent to axial flow and radial flow, and can generate better disturbance effect, thereby enhancing the heat transfer effect.
[0070] The more the number of twist pieces of the inner twist belt 4, the more dispersed the fluid, the more divided, and the better the heat exchange effect.
[0071] For example, Figure 3 and Figure 4 Further, the present embodiment includes an outer twist belt 3 in addition to the inner twist belt 4, the outer twist belt 3 is arranged in the first flow channel, and the flow disturbance belt further includes a strip-shaped outer twist belt 3 arranged in the first flow channel, the outer twist belt 3 extends around the inner tube 2 in a spiral form along the length direction of the inner tube 2.
[0072] Specifically, the cross section of the outer twist belt 3 can be a single shape, the outer twist belt 3 is arranged in such a way that the outer twist belt 3 is wound on the outer wall of the inner tube 2 in a spiral form and extends along the length direction of the inner tube 2, and the two sides of the outer twist belt 3 can abut against the outer wall of the inner tube 2 and the inner wall of the outer tube 1, respectively.
[0073] The present embodiment provides an outer twist belt 3, which disturbs the flow in the first flow channel, so that the fluid in the first flow channel alternately contacts the outer wall of the inner tube 2, thereby achieving a more excellent heat exchange effect.
[0074] It should be noted that the inner tube 2, the outer tube 1, the inner twisted belt 4 and the outer twisted belt 3 are integrated structures without welding or other connections, have good sealing performance and higher working reliability.
[0075] The application also adopts the form of synchronous twisting of the outer twisted belt 3 and the inner twisted belt 4, which can further enhance the heat exchange effect. In order to realize synchronous twisting, the outer twisted belt 3 and the inner twisted belt 4 in the application are correspondingly arranged as follows:
[0076] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the cross section of the inner twisted belt 4 is single-rod-shaped, and the outer twisted belt 3 is two, and the two outer twisted belts 3 are respectively aligned with the two sides of the twisted sheet of the inner twisted belt 4 in the radial direction and are synchronously twisted.
[0077] In another two embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the cross section of the inner twisted belt 4 is triangular, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the cross section of the inner twisted belt 4 is cross-shaped, and the cross section of the inner twisted belt 4 is multi-rod-shaped, and the number of the outer twisted belts 3 is the same as the number of the rods of the cross section of the inner twisted belt 4, and the plurality of outer twisted belts 3 are respectively aligned with the plurality of twisted sheets of the inner twisted belt 4 in the radial direction and are synchronously twisted.
[0078] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , when the cross section of the inner twisted belt 4 is single-rod-shaped, when it is twisted, the two sides of the inner twisted belt 4 are twisted respectively, at this time, two twisted sheets are formed, so two outer twisted belts 3 are arranged respectively corresponding to the two twisted sheets, the outer twisted belts 3 are aligned with the twisted sheets in the radial direction and are synchronously twisted.
[0079] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , when the cross section of the inner twisted belt 4 is multi-rod-shaped, the inner twisted belt 4 has a plurality of twisted sheets, and the plurality of twisted sheets are twisted at the same time, and at this time, the number of the outer twisted belts 3 is the same as the number of the twisted sheets, and the outer twisted belts 3 are arranged one by one corresponding to the twisted sheets, that is, the outer twisted belts 3 are aligned with the twisted sheets in the radial direction and are synchronously twisted.
[0080] The effect of such arrangement is that the liquid in the inner tube 2 flows between the two twisted sheets, and the liquid in the gap between the outer tube 1 and the inner tube 2 flows between the two outer twisted belts 3, and the liquid and the liquid are aligned with each other in the radial direction, and the flow trajectories are the same, so that sufficient contact is achieved, and in the process of moving along the spiral trajectory, disturbance can be achieved to cause turbulent flow and enhance the heat exchange effect.
[0081] Further, the twisting rates of the inner twisted belt 4 and the outer twisted belt 3 are equal, and the twisting rate is the ratio of the length of the twisted belt after twisting by 180 degrees in the axial direction to the diameter of the inner tube 2.
[0082] The twist rates are equal, so that synchronous twisting of the two twisted bands is achieved, and synchronous flow between the inner and outer fluids is achieved, so that sufficient contact heat exchange is achieved.
[0083] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 In addition to including the inner twisted band 4, the outer twisted band 3, the inner tube 2, and the outer tube 1, the heat exchanger of the embodiment further includes a first inlet section 5 communicating with the first flow channel, a second inlet section 6 communicating with the second flow channel, a first outlet section 7 communicating with the other side of the first flow channel, and a second outlet section 8 communicating with the other side of the second flow channel. The flow directions of the fluids in the first flow channel and the second flow channel are opposite.
[0084] Specifically, the first inlet section 5 of the first flow channel is located at one end of the first flow channel, the first outlet section 7 of the first flow channel is located at the other end of the first flow channel, the second inlet section 6 of the second flow channel is located at one end of the second flow channel, and the second outlet section 8 of the second flow channel is located at the other end of the second flow channel. The first inlet section 5 and the second inlet section 6 are located at different ends, respectively, and the first outlet section 7 and the second outlet section 8 are located at different ends, respectively, so that the fluids flow in opposite directions, the fluids for heat exchange are constantly changed, and the heat exchange efficiency is increased.
[0085] The embodiment further provides that a first transition section 9 is arranged between the first inlet section 5 and the first flow channel and between the first outlet section 7 and the first flow channel.
[0086] A second transition section 10 is arranged between the second inlet section 6 and the second flow channel and between the second outlet section 8 and the second flow channel.
[0087] Specifically, the inlet section and the outlet section are connected to the flow channel through the transition section, which facilitates the arrangement of the inlet section and the outlet section, is conducive to the control of the opening direction of the inlet section and the outlet section, and avoids interference between the inlet section and the outlet section located on the same side by turning through the transition section, because the two flow channels are coaxially arranged.
[0088] Specifically, the first inlet section 5 and the second outlet section 8 can be arranged as follows. The first inlet section 5 is connected to the first transition section 9, the first transition section 9 is connected to one end of the outer tube 1, the second transition section 10 is connected to one end of the inner tube 2 and connected to the second outlet section 8 after passing through the first transition section 9, so that the two flow channels and the inlet and outlet are relatively independent and not connected to each other, and the transition section can be deflected, so that the first inlet section 5 and the second outlet section 8 can be arranged side by side without interference.
[0089] The heat exchanger provided by the application is verified by computational fluid dynamics. The heat exchange capacity of the heat exchanger is defined as:
[0090] Q = C ρ q m (Tout -T in )
[0091] where C ρ is the specific heat capacity of the fluid, q m is the mass flow rate of the fluid, T out , T in are the outlet temperature and the inlet temperature of the fluid, respectively.
[0092] The overall heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger is defined as:
[0093] h = Q / AΔt m ;
[0094] where A is the heat transfer area of the fluid, and Δt m is the average temperature difference.
[0095] Given that the inlet temperature of the cold fluid is 25℃ and the inlet temperature of the hot fluid is 80℃, the mass flow rate of the cold and hot fluids is 1200ml / min.
[0096] Table 1 below shows the heat transfer enhancement calculation results of the synchronous twisted heat exchanger under the above-mentioned geometric structure and flow conditions
[0097]
[0098] It can be seen that, under the same fluid inlet temperature and mass flow rate, the heat transfer amount and the heat transfer coefficient of the synchronous twisted heat exchanger are greater than those of the light pipe sleeve heat exchanger.
[0099] The application also provides a specific embodiment of a manufacturing method of a synchronous twisted integrated sleeve heat exchanger, comprising the following steps:
[0100] designing the structure of the heat exchanger;
[0101] determining the processing parameters and selecting a metal additive manufacturing technology for manufacturing, the metal additive manufacturing technology being one of a laser powder bed fusion technology, an electron beam powder bed fusion technology, and a laser deposition manufacturing technology, and the processing parameters including a printing material and a printing direction;
[0102] performing finishing processing after printing is completed.
[0103] In this embodiment, the computer-aided modeling software can be used as a design tool to design the structures of the parts of the heat exchanger.
[0104] The heat exchanger provided in this embodiment has an integrated structure, and the inner pipe 2, the outer pipe 1, the inner twisted belt 4, the outer twisted belt 3, the transition section, and the inlet and outlet sections are integrally manufactured at one time by using a metal additive manufacturing technology, without any welding or other connection, so that the heat exchanger has good sealing performance and higher working reliability.
[0105] As Figure 9 In the embodiment, the design of the heat exchanger specifically includes:
[0106] The inner tube 2 is designed, including the diameter, wall thickness and length of the inner tube 2, and the above parameters are determined according to the requirements;
[0107] The inner twisted band 4 is designed, including the twisted band shape and the twisting rate, which can be specifically one of the above-mentioned shapes such as a straight line, a triangle, a cross or a polygon;

[0111] The first inlet section 5, the first outlet section 7, the second inlet section 6 and the second outlet section 8 are designed and connected at the corresponding transition sections, thereby completing the design of the synchronous twisted integrated sleeve heat exchanger.
[0112] As Figure 9 After the design is completed, the heat exchanger is manufactured, and the metal additive manufacturing technology can be used, which can be specifically one of the following technologies: laser powder bed fusion technology, electron beam powder bed fusion technology and laser deposition manufacturing technology.
[0113] In the embodiment, the printing material is one or more of stainless steel, titanium alloy, aluminum alloy and copper alloy, and the printing direction is the axial direction of the heat exchanger.
[0114] The post-printing processing, i.e. the finishing processing, includes removing the powder in the heat exchanger, cutting off the printed heat exchanger, or thread processing, which is specifically the processing of internal threads on the inner walls of the inlet section and the outlet section, so as to be connected with the liquid providing equipment.
