Solution Overview

Problem

Existing heat radiators for turbo fracturing units face issues such as loud noise, inefficient heat radiation, and frequent maintenance due to blocked core fins, and are prone to damage from flying debris during transportation.

Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If a vertical heat radiator is used to occupy small mounting space, then the mounting space is reduced, but the noise increases and hot air impacts other components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting spaceVSAvoidnoise and hot air impact
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent inverts the traditional heat radiator design by changing from a vertical configuration to a horizontal configuration. This inversion allows the heat radiator to discharge hot air horizontally rather than vertically, preventing hot air from impacting other components and reducing noise generation while maintaining compact mounting space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a vertical (one-dimensional) heat radiator design to a horizontal (another dimension) design. This dimensional change enables the heat radiator to discharge hot air in a different direction, avoiding interference with other components and reducing noise while preserving space efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Volume of moving object

If multiple layers of cores are arranged in horizontal heat radiator, then the structure is compact, but the core fins become blocked and heat radiation efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure compactnessVSAvoidcore fin blockage and heat radiation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the core structure into a single-layer design with optimized fin configuration rather than multiple layers. This segmentation approach prevents blockage by silica dust and guar powder while maintaining compact dimensions, ensuring reliable heat radiation efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality optimization by designing the core fins with specific geometric characteristics that prevent blockage. The fin structure is locally optimized to allow proper airflow and prevent accumulation of silica dust and guar powder, maintaining heat radiation efficiency in a compact form.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Object-generated harmful factors

If the fan rotating speed is lowered or radiator size is enlarged to reduce noise, then noise is reduced, but the system becomes overweight

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovenoiseVSAvoidsystem weight
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent inverts the noise reduction approach by changing the heat radiator orientation from vertical to horizontal. This inversion naturally reduces noise generation and eliminates the need for additional noise reduction measures that would increase weight, while maintaining effective heat dissipation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the potential harm of hot air discharge into a benefit by orienting the heat radiator horizontally. This orientation directs hot air away from other components, reducing noise and eliminating the need for additional noise reduction equipment, thereby avoiding weight increase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

4Device complexity

If a blow-type heat radiator is used, then the structure is simple, but adjacent devices are impacted during parallel operation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidimpact on adjacent devices
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent inverts the airflow direction from a blow-type (pushing air outward) to a suction-type (drawing air inward) configuration. This inversion allows the heat radiator to suction hot air from the engine and discharge it in a controlled manner that does not impact adjacent devices during parallel operation, while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to a heat radiator and a turbo fracturing unit comprising the same. The heat radiator includes: a cabin; a heat radiation core disposed at the inlet and configured to allow a gas/air to pass therethrough; a gas/air guide device disposed at the outlet and configured to suction the air within the cabin to the outlet; and noise reduction structure disposed within the cabin, which is of a structure progressively converging to the outlet. The heat radiator is configured to enable the gas/air to enter the cabin via the inlet, then sequentially pass through the heat radiation core, a surface of the noise reduction structure and the gas/air guide device, and finally be discharged out of the cabin. The heat radiator according to the present disclosure is a suction-type heat radiator which can regulate the speed of the gas/air guide device based on the temperature of the gas/air at the inlet, thereby avoiding energy waste and unnecessary noise. The smooth curved surface of the noise reduction structure can reduce noise without affecting the gas/air flow.
