[0002] Heat exchange equipment is widely used in various industrial fields, especially in chemical industry, petroleum, heating, air conditioning and other industries, mainly for heat transfer to improve the utilization efficiency of energy. In many heat exchange systems, heat exchange is often carried out by flowing through the pipeline by liquid or gas, and these pipelines are the most important components in heat exchange equipment. As the core component of heat transfer, heat exchange tube usually realizes heat transfer through the temperature difference with another fluid. The design of heat exchange tube needs to have high heat exchange efficiency, corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, especially in high temperature and high pressure working environment, the performance of heat exchange tube directly affects the overall operation efficiency and safety of equipment. Therefore, designing efficient and durable heat exchange tube is the key to improving the performance of heat exchange equipment.

[0003] The existing heat exchange tube technology, such as traditional insert or simple finned tube, can improve the heat exchange efficiency to some extent, but has some limitations. Although the traditional fin structure can increase the surface area, it is easy to accumulate dirt, which reduces the heat exchange efficiency, and the design of fin usually causes large fluid resistance and high pressure drop. In addition, the complex processing technology and high manufacturing cost in the manufacturing process also increase the difficulty of production, so a kind of compound annular inner rib convex cell tube is proposed to solve the above problems.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Reference Figs. 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a composite annular inner rib tube, comprising an inlet section 1, a combined section 2, and an outlet section 3. The inlet section 1, combined section 2, and outlet section 3 are sequentially combined to form a tube body and are arranged axially symmetrically. The combined section 2 is composed of annular ribs 5 and a base tube wall 6 sequentially combined. Multiple protrusions 4 are provided inside the base tube wall 6, protruding into the base tube wall 6. The annular ribs 5 are located between two adjacent left and right protrusions 4. The cross-section of the tube body is a bearing-shaped end face 7, which is composed of an outer wall surface, an inner wall surface, protrusions 4 protruding into the cavity, and annular ribs 5. The protrusions 4 are... The ribs are equidistantly distributed within the wall 6 of the base pipe and form a cavity. The annular ribs 5 are arranged at equal intervals, with a rib depth of 1.5 mm and a rib width of 3 mm. The pitch of the rows varies according to the pitch between the two convex cell rings. The position is located in the middle of the two axially arranged convex cell rings. The end face size of the inlet section 1 and the outlet section 3 is the same as the end face size of the combined section 2. The length of the inlet section 1 is 2 / 8 of the total length of the pipe body, and the length of the outlet section 3 is 1 / 8 of the total length of the pipe body. The convex cells 4 are arranged in six equal angles, with a distribution angle of 60° between the convex cells 4. There are 6 convex cells 4, and they are spherical with a depth of 2 mm and a radius of 4 mm.

[0024] Working principle: The fluid medium flows into the combined section 2 with protruding cells 4 from the inlet section 1. The fluid medium exists in two continuous disturbance states in the combined section 2. The annular ribs 5 disturb the fluid, causing the fluid to generate large turbulent kinetic energy. At the same time, under the action of the protruding cells 4, the fluid medium undergoes boundary layer separation, which further increases the turbulence in the cavity. Because the protruding cells 4 and the annular ribs 5 work together, the fluid medium frequently disturbs the boundary layer under the continuous action of the two, effectively improving the heat transfer effect. Finally, the fluid medium flows out from the outlet section 3.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
