AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional protective gas coolers are prone to scaling in the water chamber and blockage of heat exchange tubes due to structural defects. Welding joints are also prone to cracking and leakage, affecting the dew point of the protective gas. Furthermore, the fin welding has high thermal resistance and low heat exchange efficiency.

Method used

The design employs an integrally bent U-shaped finned tube and laser-welded fins. The manifold is kept away from the heat source to avoid scaling. The connection between the U-shaped heat exchange bend and the manifold, combined with the laser-welded fins, reduces thermal resistance and leakage risk.

Benefits of technology

It achieves stable operation without welding points, avoids water leakage and scaling, and improves heat exchange efficiency and heat exchange area per unit volume of fins.
