In all aspects of industrial production, heat transfer is an extremely common problem. With the need for higher production requirements for industrial production equipment, how to enable industrial equipment with high heat flux density to achieve fast and efficient heat transfer, thereby ensuring high-efficiency and high-quality operation of the equipment, is a problem that needs to be further addressed.

[0004] Finned tubes are currently the most commonly used means of enhancing heat exchange in industry and commerce. Internal finned tubes were first proposed in 1970. There are many ways to make internal finned tubes, which can be processed using special processes. The purpose of finned tubes is to increase the fluid-solid heat exchange area in the tube, while enhancing the fluid turbulence effect, destroying the development of the boundary layer, and achieving the purpose of enhancing heat exchange. However, the disadvantages of finned tubes are also obvious. The invalid space in the tube is too large, resulting in low internal convection heat transfer efficiency, which greatly affects the heat exchange performance.

[0005] In traditional finned tubes, fins are added inside the glass tube to ensure better heat conduction, which will occupy a larger space of the U-shaped collector tube and most of the space is invalid. Utility Model Content

[0030] Example 1

[0031] A wing-free double vacuum glass-metal spiral U-shaped heat collecting tube, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes an inlet end 1, an outlet end 2, a stainless steel sealing cover 3, a spiral U-shaped tube 4 and a double-layer vacuum glass 5; wherein, the spiral U-shaped heat collecting tube type vacuum tube collector is a double-layer glass vacuum tube 5 in which a spiral U-shaped heat collecting tube 4 is installed, the collector is air-dried, and the heat is taken out by the working medium circulating in the spiral U-shaped heat collecting tube 4, directly heating the water or heating the water through the coil heat exchange in the water tank. The metal spiral U-shaped heat collecting tube type vacuum collector inherits the advantages of high performance, high reliability and accurate tracking of the all-glass vacuum tube, and also has the incomparable advantages of the direct plug-in collector: high operating safety factor, the working medium circulates in the spiral U-shaped heat collecting tube, not directly in the vacuum tube, the whole system can operate under pressure, and the whole system can operate normally when the vacuum tube breaks; the antifreeze requirements are not high, because the antifreeze working medium or gas circulates in the pipeline, and the working medium has a low freezing point; easy on-site installation and simple assembly.

[0032] The metal spiral U-shaped collector tube adopts double vacuum technology to eliminate the convection and conduction heat loss of the gas, and applies a selective absorption coating to minimize the radiation heat loss of the vacuum collector tube. In this way, the vacuum tube solar collector can operate at medium and high temperatures, and can also operate in winter in cold areas and in areas with low sunshine and changeable weather, expanding the application field.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Solar thermal power generation technology is a way to develop and utilize solar energy on a large scale. As the only commercial solar thermal power generation technology at present, trough solar thermal power generation has been promoted and applied to a certain extent. For the spiral U-shaped collector tube, it is a double vacuum collector tube that can be used in trough solar thermal power stations. The spiral U-shaped collector tube is coated with a spectrally selective absorption coating on the surface of the inner glass tube using a special process to absorb solar radiation energy to the maximum extent. First, the sunlight irradiates the outer wall of the vacuum tube, part of the heat is absorbed by the vacuum tube wall, part is reflected to the sky, and the remaining part continues to irradiate the inner wall of the vacuum tube. The inner wall surface of the vacuum tube is coated with a heat-absorbing material, which has the characteristics of high absorption rate and low emissivity, and absorbs solar heat to the maximum extent. The solar radiation heat in the sunlight heats the inner wall collector plate of the cylindrical vacuum tube through direct radiation and scattered radiation. After the temperature of the cylindrical collector plate rises, the heat diffuses to both sides. One side diffuses to the tube wall through radiation loss and convection loss; the other side diffuses to the stainless steel pressure-bearing inner tank through radiation heating and convection heating. The temperature of the tube wall rises after the pressure tank is heated, and then the medium in the large tube is heated by convection. The key is that in terms of the unit investment cost of solar thermal power generation, the unit cost of the wingless double vacuum glass-metal spiral U-shaped collector tube for solar thermal power generation is only 50% of the unit cost of trough solar thermal power generation, or even lower.
