The carbon steel pipe + aluminum fin has poor corrosion resistance, the carbon steel pipe + carbon steel fin has poor corrosion resistance of both pipe and fin, and the carbon steel fin is heavy, the aluminum pipe + aluminum fin has very poor corrosion resistance due to the softness of the aluminum pipe, and the stainless steel pipe + carbon steel fin improves the corrosion resistance of the pipe, but the combination of the two has relatively low heat dissipation efficiency.

Specific implementation
[0025] In order to make the technical means, creation features, purposes and effects realized by the utility model easy to understand, the utility model is further described below in combination with specific embodiments, but the following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the utility model, not all. Based on the embodiments in the implementation, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Embodiment
[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-7 The utility model provides a double-flow air cooler, and the air cooler includes a radiator main body, which is composed of a main frame 1, a stainless steel cooling pipe 5, an upper oil collecting box 6, a lower oil collecting box 7 and a range partition plate 8; the upper oil collecting box 6 and the lower oil collecting box 7 are arranged above and below the main frame 1 respectively; the range partition plate 8 is arranged at the middle part of the lower oil collecting box 7; the lower oil collecting box 7 is divided into left and right two parts by the range partition plate 8; a plurality of stainless steel cooling pipes 5 are arranged in the main frame 1; the upper and lower walls of the inner side of the main frame 1 are both perforated plates; the perforated plate has a plurality of through holes corresponding in number to the stainless steel cooling pipes 5; the arrangement mode and arrangement distance of the through holes of the perforated plate are the same as those of the holes of Figure 6 and Figure 7 , so that the upper oil collecting box 6 and the lower oil collecting box 7 are connected by the through holes and the stainless steel cooling pipes 5, as shown in Figure 3 The path of the transformer oil of the cooler forms a U-shaped path, so that the transformer oil in the stainless steel cooling pipe 5 flows through two flows; the double flow prolongs the flow path of the transformer oil in the cooler, increases the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the transformer oil, enhances the heat dissipation effect of the transformer oil and improves the heat dissipation capacity of the cooler.
[0027] As Figures 2-4 shown, the lower oil collecting box 7 is fixed below the oil inlet 9 and the oil outlet 10, and the oil inlet 9 and the oil outlet 10 are located on both sides of the distance partition plate 8. The distance partition plate 8 and the oil inlet 9 can be flange pipes welded below the lower oil collecting box 7, so as to be convenient for connecting with the oil tank of the transformer.
[0028] In the use process, since the upper oil collecting box 6 of the oil outlet part flows to the lower oil collecting box 7 through the stainless steel cooling pipe 5 with a certain drop, in order to prevent the oil from flowing out too fast due to the gravity and affecting the heat dissipation, the oil inlet flange and the oil outlet flange of the transformer oil tank can be set on the side or the bottom, so that in the use process, the oil pump transports the transformer oil of the oil tank from the oil outlet flange to the oil inlet 9 of the cooler, and then through the U-shaped circuit, the oil outlet, the connecting pipe and the oil inlet flange into the oil tank. In this process, due to the effect of pressure, the transformer oil in the stainless steel cooling pipe 5 of the oil outlet part of the U-shaped circuit can also flow uniformly and stably, so as to ensure the stability of heat dissipation.
[0029] As Figure 1 shown, the front side of the main frame 1 is fixed with the fan box 2, and a plurality of heat dissipation fans 3 are arranged in the fan box 2 according to needs. The number of heat dissipation fans 3 can be set to two or more according to actual use needs. After starting, the wind direction is from the main frame 1 to the fan box 2. At the same time, according to the industry habit, the air outlet side is called the front side.
[0030] As Figure 2 and Figure 6 shown, the aluminum-magnesium alloy fin 4 is integrally punched by aluminum-magnesium alloy. The aluminum-magnesium alloy fin 4 is composed of an aluminum-magnesium sheet and an aluminum-magnesium ring. The aluminum-magnesium ring can be sleeved on the outside of the stainless steel cooling pipe 5 and connected together by expansion. The stainless steel cooling pipe 5 has a certain row spacing and column spacing on the aluminum-magnesium alloy fin 4, which improves the heat exchanger area per unit volume, reduces the wind resistance outside the pipe, and improves the total heat exchange capacity.
[0031] As Figure 6 shown, the aluminum-magnesium alloy fin 4 is integrally punched. The surface of the aluminum-magnesium sheet is punched with a crease between two rows of pipes and a crease between two columns of pipes, which can increase the strength and rigidity of the aluminum-magnesium sheet. A wave pattern is punched on both side edges of the aluminum-magnesium alloy fin 4, which can increase the strength and rigidity of the aluminum-magnesium alloy fin 4, and also improve the aesthetics of the entire aluminum-magnesium alloy fin 4.
[0032] The whole stamping forming aluminum magnesium alloy fin 4 is 1 / 2 of the thickness of the steel sheet, and the density is 1 / 3 of the steel sheet. The weight of the same number of aluminum magnesium alloy fin 4 is about 1 / 6 of the steel sheet, and the total weight of the cooler is reduced, which provides great convenience for the production, transportation and installation of the cooler.
[0033] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 7 , the outer side of the stainless steel cooling pipe 5 is fixed with the intermediate partition plate 11, the intermediate partition plate 11 is located in the gap between two adjacent aluminum magnesium alloy fins 4, the intermediate partition plate 11 is bent into a C-shaped structure, and the both ends are welded with the two inner side walls of the main frame 1. The strength and rigidity of the flat plate type partition plate are greater than that of the carbon steel pipe used intermediate partition plate 11.
[0034] The inside of the stainless steel cooling pipe 5 is provided with a spoiler, as shown in Figure 5 , the spoiler includes a disturbance wire 12 and a straight wire 13, the straight wire 13 passes through along the direction of the stainless steel cooling pipe 5, the straight wire 13 is parallel to the axial direction of the stainless steel cooling pipe 5, the disturbance wire 12 is wound outside the straight wire 13, the disturbance wire 12 is spirally wound outside the straight wire 13, and the disturbance wire 12 and the straight wire 13 are fixed together by welding, so that the straight wire 13 serves as the framework of the whole spoiler. In actual use, through the adjustment of the outer diameter, the spiral disturbance wire 12 can be in contact with the inner wall of the stainless steel cooling pipe 5, and the spiral disturbance wire 12 has a certain distance, which can disturb the oil flow boundary layer and make the transformer oil flow reach the turbulent flow effect, thereby improving the heat exchange of the transformer oil in the cooling pipe.
[0035] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions in the specification are only preferred examples of the utility model and do not limit the utility model.
