[0028] The utility model embodiment is explained in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0029] As Figures 1-10 shown, a novel twisted electric heating pipe, including electric heating outer tube 4 and install in electric heating outer tube 4's resistance wire 5, electric heating outer tube 4 is inserted with at least one resistance wire 5 along the length direction of electric heating outer tube 4, and the end of electric heating outer tube 4 is installed with the lead bar 1 for being connected with the external circuit of resistance wire 5, electric heating outer tube 4 is stressed and twisted along the axial direction of electric heating outer tube 4, and the radial cross-sectional area of twisted electric heating outer tube 4 is same.

[0031] Electric heating outer tube 4 is hollow structure, at least one resistance wire 5 is installed in electric heating outer tube 4, the hollow structure of electric heating outer tube 4 facilitates the installation of resistance wire 5 in electric heating outer tube 4, the length of resistance wire 5 is less than the length of electric heating outer tube 4, and both ends of resistance wire 5 are located in electric heating outer tube 4, to ensure that all the heat generated by resistance wire 5 is located in electric heating outer tube 4.
[0032] Electric heating outer tube 4 is inserted with several resistance wires 5, and electric heating outer tube 4 is filled with insulating heat conduction layer 3 to ensure that several resistance wires 5 do not interfere with each other.
[0033] The insulating heat conduction layer 3 is magnesium oxide powder, which can realize the external wrapping of resistance wire 5 under the action of magnesium oxide powder, so as to ensure that resistance wire 5 is always in a relatively stable state, and magnesium oxide powder prevents the connection between adjacent resistance wires 5 under the insulation effect, to ensure the separate heating effect of multiple resistance wires 5.
[0034] Meanwhile, the magnesium oxide powder transmits the heat generated by the resistance wire 5 to the electric heating outer tube 4 under the action of heat conduction, and the filled magnesium oxide powder realizes uniform heating of the electric heating outer tube 4.
[0035] The electric heating outer tube 4 is provided with a plurality of lead-out rods 1 corresponding to the number of the resistance wires 5 at the end thereof, and the lead-out rods 1 can be arranged at one end of the electric heating outer tube 4 or at opposite ends of the electric heating outer tube 4, and can be arranged according to the electric heating outer tube 4 of different structures. When the electric heating outer tube 4 needs to be powered at one end, the lead-out rods 1 are arranged at one end of the electric heating outer tube 4, and the number of the lead-out rods 1 corresponds to the number of the resistance wires 5.
[0036] The electric heating outer tube 4 is provided with the lead-out rods 1 connected with the resistance wires 5 at both ends thereof, and the lead-out rods 1 at both ends of the electric heating outer tube 4 are respectively connected to opposite ends of the resistance wires 5, so that both ends of the resistance wires 5 are in a powered state, and the electric heating outer tube 4 is provided with the lead-out rods 1 corresponding to the number of the resistance wires 5 at both ends thereof.
[0037] The electric heating outer tube 4 is provided with a sealing structure 2 for sealing the pipe opening of the electric heating outer tube 4 at the end thereof, and the lead-out rods 1 pass through the sealing structure 2, and the sealing structure 2 is silica gel for sealing the pipe opening of the electric heating outer tube 4.
[0038] The electric heating outer tube 4 has a non-circular structure in cross section, and the electric heating outer tube 4 has a spiral structure along the length direction of the electric heating outer tube 4.
[0039] In actual use, the electric heating outer tube 4 is initially in a non-circular structure, and then the resistance wires 5, the insulating and heat-conducting layer 3, the lead-out rods 1 and the sealing structure 2 are installed on the electric heating outer tube 4, and then the electric heating outer tube 4 is twisted and formed. According to the power requirement, the number of the resistance wires 5 in the electric heating outer tube 4 can be one, two or even more, and the length-to-short-axis ratio and the pitch of the electric heating outer tube 4 are adjusted according to the actual situation.
[0040] The electric heating outer tube 4 is twisted and formed in the axial direction after assembly, so that the resistance wires 5, the insulating and heat-conducting layer 3, the lead-out rods 1 and the sealing structure 2 are twisted synchronously in the twisting process of the electric heating outer tube 4.
[0041] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the electric heating outer tube 4 can be a flat tube or an elliptical structure, and the length-to-short-axis ratio A / B of the pipe cross section of the electric heating outer tube 4 is 1.5-10.
[0042] The electric heating outer tube 4 has a spiral structure along the axial direction of the electric heating outer tube 4, and the pitch-to-long-axis ratio S / A of the electric heating outer tube 4 is 2-15.
[0043] In use, the new twisted electric heating tube is usually installed in the water pipe 6, and the flow channel between the water pipe 6 and the new twisted electric heating tube forms a pipe channel, and the pipe channel forms a spiral flow channel 7 under the action of the outer wall of the new twisted electric heating tube.
[0044] As shown in Figures 5-8 , under the conditions of the same power, electric heating tube cross-sectional area, electric heating tube length, inlet mass flow, inlet water temperature, flow passage cross-sectional area, and flow passage length, the flow velocity and heat exchange effect of water flowing through the outer wall of the round tube electric heating tube and the twisted electric heating tube are simulated. The flow channel of the twisted electric heating tube is helical, and the fluid flows longitudinally while generating complex strong disturbances mainly characterized by rotation and mixing, thereby enhancing the turbulence degree of the fluid, that is, the fluid can enter the turbulent state even at a lower Reynolds number.
[0045] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , at a lower Reynolds number, compared with the round tube electric heating tube, the flow velocity of water flowing through the outer wall of the twisted electric heating tube changes more sharply, and a transverse secondary flow is generated. Therefore, the structural design of the twisted flat tube enhances the turbulence degree of the fluid. The longitudinal mixing of the fluid helps to fully exchange heat, thereby enhancing the heat exchange effect.
[0046] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the distribution cloud diagrams of the outlet temperature of water flowing through the round tube and the twisted electric heating tube are shown, and it can be obviously seen that the outlet temperature distribution of the twisted flat tube is higher. According to statistics, the average outlet temperature of the twisted flat tube is 20.7% higher than that of the round tube.
[0047] As shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the round tube electric heating tube and the twisted electric heating tube with the same power, heat exchange area, power density, and heating section length are designed, and simulation is carried out under the same fluid conditions, and the pipe surface temperature distribution cloud diagram is obtained, in which the average temperature of the surface of the twisted flat tube is 24.2% lower than that of the round tube. The lower the temperature, the less likely the scale is to be generated, and the enhanced turbulence effect of the twisted electric heating tube can play a scouring role, so that the scale is not easy to adhere.
