Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to heat exchanger processing equipment technical field more specifically relates to a small pipe diameter heat exchanger of central concentrated heat exchange. BACKGROUND

[0002] Tube fin heat exchanger is one of the earliest and most successful discoveries in the process of improving tube heat exchanger. Tube fin heat exchanger has compact structure and excellent heat exchange performance, and is not only suitable for the flow of single-phase fluid, but also has great value for phase change heat exchange. Tube fin heat exchanger has a very wide range of applications, among which air conditioning and refrigeration engineering applications are the most widespread. Industry online data shows that the production of household air conditioners in 2021 was 154.3 million units, of which about 99% of the two devices used tube fin heat exchanger. Tube fin heat exchanger occupies an absolute application advantage in the field of air conditioning.

[0003] At present, tube fin heat exchanger has gradually realized the upgrading of fine diameter from "9.52mm-7mm-5mm". By reducing the diameter of copper pipe in tube fin heat exchanger, the consumption of copper and aluminum materials and the amount of refrigerant charging can be significantly reduced, thereby meeting the cost reduction needs of enterprises.

[0004] In the existing tube fin heat exchanger, the heat exchange pipe is generally a copper pipe, and the heat exchange fin is generally an aluminum fin. For the heat exchanger, the heat exchange inside the tube generally accounts for 40% of the heat exchange capacity, and the heat exchange outside the tube accounts for 60%. At the same time, the density and price of copper material are greater than those of aluminum material. However, the outer diameter of the heat exchange pipe in the existing heat exchanger is generally more than 5mm, and the use of copper material is still large. In addition, in terms of heat exchange performance, the heat exchange coefficient of thin tubes is greater than that of thick tubes. Therefore, under the condition of ensuring heat exchange effect, the use of thin tubes to make heat exchange pipes can reduce the use of copper material and manufacturing cost. However, there is no such structure at present.

[0005] At the same time, in some existing heat exchangers, the heat exchange pipes are uniformly arranged, and when they are installed in the equipment, the middle part has more air flow, which reduces the heat exchange capacity of the upper and lower parts and greatly reduces the utilization rate of the entire heat exchanger.
