The materials of the inner and outer tubes have a significant impact on heat exchange efficiency, durability, and cost. For heat exchangers, improving heat dissipation is key to increasing thermal conductivity, expanding contact area, and optimizing fluid flow. Utility Model Content

[0005] Furthermore, several fins are uniformly provided on the outside of the outer tube.
[0006] Furthermore, a combined vortex pit is provided on the outside of the outer tube.
[0007] Furthermore, the outer tube is a composite outer tube, which includes a metal inner tube, a non-metallic intermediate connecting layer, and a metal outer tube.
[0008] Furthermore, the surface of the combined vortex pit is provided with a rounded corner one, and the inner wall of the combined vortex pit is provided with a rounded corner two.
[0009] Furthermore, three combined vortex pits are provided, and the three combined vortex pits are evenly distributed with the center of the outer tube as the center.
[0010] Furthermore, several fillets are provided, and these fillets are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the combined vortex pit.
[0011] Furthermore, several rounded corners are provided, and these rounded corners are evenly distributed on the inner surface of the combined vortex pit.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] The heat exchange tube in this invention can have several structural forms. One is a carbon steel inner tube, outer tube, and fins; the fins provide good heat dissipation. Another is a carbon steel inner tube and a composite outer tube (metal inner tube, non-metallic intermediate connecting layer, and metal outer tube). The composite outer tube design provides highly efficient thermal management during use. The multi-layered composite design improves thermal conductivity and mechanical strength. A medium material is placed inside the medium cavity between the composite heat pipe outer tube and the carbon steel inner tube, allowing heat exchange between the medium material and the liquid flowing inside the carbon steel inner tube. The carbon steel inner tube has high strength, good machinability, high temperature resistance, thermal conductivity, and pressure resistance. The outer metal of the composite outer tube is selected from suitable corrosion-resistant metal materials depending on the operating conditions. A third... It consists of a carbon steel inner tube, an outer tube, and a combination of vortex pits on the outside of the outer tube. By setting up the combination of vortex pits, heat and gas form a unique vortex field when passing through them. A large number of vortex pits can create a large amount of intense vortex disturbance at the contact surface between the medium and the heat exchange tube, which greatly enhances the heat exchange performance of the heat exchange tube surface and saves energy loss. The rounded corners of the combination of vortex pits provide a smooth feel during handling and use, preventing injury to personnel due to the rough surface of the combination of vortex pits. At the same time, it can facilitate the collection of airflow passing over the surface of the composite heat pipe and facilitate the formation of a vortex field. The rounded corners on the inner surface of the combination of vortex pits can increase the contact area and contact strength between the composite heat pipe outer tube and the composite material inside the medium cavity, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.
