Abstract
The present invention relates to a heat exchanger pipe enabling heat exchange between fluid flowing through the pipe and fluid existing outside the pipe, and a method of manufacturing the heat exchanger pipe. In particular, the present invention relates to a heat exchanger pipe that improves a heat exchange rate by making flow of fluid through the pipe more active and increasing a contact amount, that has an improved contact characteristic and a sealing characteristic between an outer pipe and an insert inserted in the outer pipe in the process of manufacturing, and that is easily manufactured; and a method of manufacturing the heat exchanger pipe.
Claims1
A method of manufacturing a heat exchanger pipe, the method comprising:
- an insert preparation process of placing a contact shell on an upper bed;
- an outer pipe preparation process of placing the outer pipe on a lower bed to insert the contact shell into the outer pipe;
- a pressing-preparation process of disposing a dice mold having a tapered portion and a pressing portion over the outer pipe;
- and
- a pressing process of pressing the outer pipe with the pressing portion so that the inner circumferential surface of the outer pipe comes in direct surface-to-surface contact with the outer circumferential surface of the contact shell,
- wherein a plurality of heat exchanger fins are protrudingly formed on the inner circumferential surface of the contact shell,
- wherein the heat exchanger fins comprise at least one first fin group and at least one second fin group,
- wherein the first fin group comprises a plurality of first heat exchanger fins, which are discontinuous type heat exchanger fins that are disconnected at middle portions in a longitudinal direction thereof and consecutively positioned,
- wherein the second fin group comprises a plurality of second heat exchanger fins, which are continuous type heat exchanger fins that are entirely continuous in a longitudinal direction thereof and consecutively positioned,
- wherein the first fin group and the second fin group are alternately disposed, and
- wherein the second fin group is composed of three continuous type heat exchanger fins disposed continuously.
