Description
- The present invention relates generally to a heat exchanger tube and more particularly to a heat exchanger tube having an inner diameter, an outer diameter, a longitudinal axis and at least two spiral upsets protruding from the inner diameter of the tube and spiraling around the longitudinal axis of a length of the tube.
- Heat transfer systems for cooling engine exhaust gases have traditionally required relatively small amounts of heat transfer. A typical engine exhaust gas cooling system is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. A shell-and-tube heat exchanger includes a plurality of small diameter tubes (hereinafter heat exchanger tubes) that are encased in a larger diameter tube, providing a closed fluid flow passage. The shell-and-tube heat exchanger is a preferred engine exhaust gas cooling system because of its relatively low cost and because it provides an adequate amount of heat transfer with a relatively small amount of pressure drop in the fluid flowing therethrough.
- A current heat exchanger tube for a shell-and-tube heat exchanger includes an inner diameter having a plurality of rings protruding therefrom. The rings produce turbulence in the fluid flowing through the tube, which increases the heat transfer of the tube. However, the rings produce a significant reduction in the cross-sectional area of the tube, which increases the pressure drop in the fluid flowing through the tube. Another current heat exchanger tube for a shell-and-tube heat exchanger includes an inner diameter having a single spiral protruding therefrom. The spiral produces less of a reduction in the cross-sectional area of the tube, and therefore less of a pressure drop in the fluid flowing through the tube. However, the spiral also produces less turbulence in the fluid flowing through the tube and therefore provides less heat transfer in the tube.
- Accordingly, a need exists for a heat exchanger tube for a shell-and-tube heat exchanger that provides a large amount of heat transfer without significantly increasing the pressure drop of the fluid flowing through the tube.
- In one embodiment, the present invention is a heat exchanger tube having an inner diameter, an outer diameter and a longitudinal axis. The heat exchanger includes at least two spiral upsets protruding from the inner diameter of the tube and spiraling around the longitudinal axis of a length of the tube. The at least two spiral upsets include a first spiral upset having a cross-sectional shape, a depth of protrusion from the inner diameter, a pitch, and an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis, and a second spiral upset having a cross-sectional shape, a depth of protrusion from the inner diameter, a pitch, and an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis, wherein the angle of the first spiral upset with respect to the longitudinal axis is approximately equal to the angle of the second spiral upset with respect to the longitudinal axis, such that the first and second spiral upsets are approximately parallel.
- In another embodiment, the absolute value of the angle of the first spiral upset with respect to the longitudinal axis is different from the absolute value of the angle of the second spiral upset with respect to the longitudinal axis, such that the first and second spiral upsets intersect at least once.
- In yet another embodiment, the present invention is a method of manufacturing a heat exchanger tube. The method includes providing a tube having an inner diameter, an outer diameter and a longitudinal axis. The method also includes providing at least two spiral upsets protruding from the inner diameter of the tube and spiraling around the longitudinal axis of a length of the tube. Providing the at least two spiral upsets includes providing a first spiral upset having a cross-sectional shape, a depth of protrusion from the inner diameter, a pitch, and an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis, and providing a second spiral upset having a cross-sectional shape, a depth of protrusion from the inner diameter, a pitch, and an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis, wherein the angle of the first spiral upset with respect to the longitudinal axis is approximately equal to the angle of the second spiral upset with respect to the longitudinal axis, such that the first and second spiral upsets are approximately parallel.

FIGS. 1-8 , embodiments of the present invention are directed to a heat exchanger tube having an inner diameter, an outer diameter, a longitudinal axis, and at least two spiral upsets protruding from the inner diameter of the tube and spiraling around the longitudinal axis of a length of the tube. The multi-spiral upset heat exchanger tube of the present invention produces turbulence in the fluid flowing therethrough rather than the rifling or swirling effect that a single spiral upset heat exchanger tube produces. In addition, the multi-spiral upset heat exchanger tube of the present invention produces turbulence without significantly reducing the cross-sectional area of the tube as ringed heat exchanger tubes do. As a result, the multi-spiral upset heat exchanger tube of the present invention produces a large amount of heat transfer without significantly increasing the pressure drop of the fluid flowing through the tube. -
FIGS. 1-3 show embodiments of a multi-spiral upsetheat exchanger tube 10 according to the present invention. Thetube 10 includes aninner diameter 12, anouter diameter 14 and alongitudinal axis 16. Thetube 10 also includes at least two spiral upsets protruding from theinner diameter 12 of thetube 10 and spiraling around thelongitudinal axis 16 of a length of thetube 10. In one embodiment, thetube 10 includes a firstspiral upset 18 and a secondspiral upset 20. The firstspiral upset 18 includes a cross-sectional shape 18S, a depth ofprotrusion 18D from theinner diameter 12, apitch 18P, and an angle ∀ with respect to thelongitudinal axis 16, and secondspiral upset 20 includes a cross-sectional shape 20S, a depth of protrusion 20D from theinner diameter 12, a pitch 20P, and an angle ∃ with respect to thelongitudinal axis 16, wherein pitch is defined as a longitudinal distance traveled by a spiral in a single revolution. - In the embodiment depicted in
FIG. 1 , the angle ∀ of the firstspiral upset 18 with respect to thelongitudinal axis 16 is approximately equal to the angle ∃ of the secondspiral upset 20 with respect to thelongitudinal axis 16, such that thespiral upsets - In the embodiments depicted in
FIGS. 2 and 3 , the angle ∀ of the firstspiral upset 18 with respect to thelongitudinal axis 16 is different from the angle ∃ of the secondspiral upset 20 with respect to thelongitudinal axis 16, such that thespiral upsets second spiral upsets longitudinal axis 16 may be different but have the same absolute value (as shown inFIG. 2 ) or the angles ∀ and ∃ may be different and have different absolute values (as shown inFIG. 3 ). - The spiral upsets 18 and 20 may spiral in the same direction or in opposite directions. For example, in the embodiment depicted in
FIG. 2 , thespiral upsets spiral upset 18 with respect to thelongitudinal axis 16 is smaller than 90°, such that the first spiral upset 18 spirals in a clockwise direction and the angle ∃ of the secondspiral upset 20 with respect to thelongitudinal axis 16 is larger than 90°, such that the second spiral upset 20 spirals in a counter-clockwise direction. - In the embodiments depicted in
FIGS. 1 and 3 , thespiral upsets spiral upsets longitudinal axis 16 are each smaller than 90°, such that the spiral upsets 18 and 20 each spiral in a clockwise direction. In another embodiment, the angles ∀ and ∃ of thespiral upsets longitudinal axis 16 are each larger than 90°, such that thespiral upsets - In general the closer the angles ∀ and ∃ of the
spiral upsets tube 10. The increase in turbulence of the fluid flowing through thetube 10 increases the heat transfer of thetube 10, but also increases the pressure drop of the fluid flowing through thetube 10. As a result, in this and in other embodiments described below a trade off exists between increasing heat transfer of thetube 10 and increasing the pressure drop of the fluid flowing through thetube 10. This should be taken into account when designing thetube 10 for a specific heat transfer requirement at a specific pressure drop limit. - In any of the embodiments described above, the cross-sectional shapes 18S and 20S of the
spiral upsets FIGS. 4-8 show various appropriate cross-sectional shapes for the spiral upsets. For example, the cross-sectional shape of each spiral upset may be semi-circular (FIG. 4 ), semi-rectangular (FIG. 5 ), poly-sided such as a semi-hexagon (FIG. 6 ), V-shaped (FIG. 7 ), or U-shaped (FIG. 8 ), among other appropriate cross-sectional shapes. - In general, the greater the surface area of the cross-sectional shapes 18S and 20S of the
spiral upsets tube 10. Also, when the cross-sectional shapes 18S and 20S are different, the turbulence and pressure drop of the fluid flowing through thetube 10 are increased and in general, the greater the difference in shape and/or size of the cross-sectional shapes 18S and 20S of thespiral upsets tube 10. - In any of the embodiments described above, the
depths 18D and 20D of thespiral upsets depths 18D and 20D of thespiral upsets tube 10. Also, when thedepths 18D and 20D of thespiral upsets tube 10 are increased and in general, the greater the difference in thedepths 18D and 20D of thespiral upsets tube 10. - In any of the embodiments above, the
pitches 18P and 20P of thespiral upsets pitches 18P and 20P are approximately equal, the first andsecond spiral upsets pitches 18P and 20P are different, the first andsecond spiral upsets pitch 18P of the first spiral upset 18 is twice as long as the pitch 20P of the second spiral upset 20, the first spiral upset 18 intersects the second spiral upset 20 twice per revolution. In general, the more intersections between the spiral upsets 18 and 20 per revolution, the greater the turbulence and pressure drop of the fluid flowing through thetube 10. Also in general, any change in the pitch of a spiral upset effects the angle of the spiral upset with respect to the longitudinal axis of the tube and vice versa. - As can be seen above, the number of embodiments of the multi-spiral upset
heat exchanger tube 10 according to the present invention can be varied extensively by varying: -
- the angles ∀ and ∃ of the spiral upsets 18 and 20 with respect to the
longitudinal axis 16 of thetube 10; - varying the cross-sectional shapes 18S and 20S of the spiral upsets 18 and 20;
- varying the
depths 18D and 20D of the spiral upsets 18 and 20; - varying the
pitches 18P and 20D of the spiral upsets 18 and 20; - providing equal or unequal angles ∀ and ∃ of the spiral upsets 18 and 20 with respect to the
longitudinal axis 16 of thetube 10; - spiraling the spiral upsets 18 and 20 in the same or opposite directions;
- providing different or approximately the same cross-sectional shapes 18S and 20S;
- providing different or approximately the
same depths 18D and 20D; and - providing different or approximately the
same pitches 18P and 20D.
- the angles ∀ and ∃ of the spiral upsets 18 and 20 with respect to the
- As a result, the multi-spiral upset
heat exchanger tube 10 according to the present invention allows for a greater adjustability of the turbulence and pressure drop of the fluid flowing through thetube 10 than that which is provided by ringed heat exchanger tubes and single spiral heat exchanger tubes. Therefore, when a system requires a specific amount of heat transfer at a specific pressure drop limit, the variable described above can be adjusted to meet the specific given requirements. - For example, in one embodiment the
tube 10 includes spiral upsets 18 and 20 that intersect at least once, have angles ∀ and ∃ with respect to thelongitudinal axis 16 that are close to 90°, have depths ofprotrusion 18D and 20D that are relatively large, and have cross-sectional shapes 18S and 20S with relatively large surface areas. This embodiment produces atube 10 with a relatively large amount of heat transfer. In another embodiment, thetube 10 includes spiral upsets 18 and 20 that are parallel, have angles ∀ and ∃ with respect to thelongitudinal axis 16 that are close to 0°, have depths ofprotrusion 18D and 20D that are relatively small, and have cross-sectional shapes 18S and 20S with relatively small surface areas. This embodiment produces a tube with a relatively small amount of heat transfer. - The multi-spiral upset
heat exchanger tube 10 according to the present invention may be composed of any one of a variety of materials. For example, thetube 10 may be composed of a metal material, such as stainless steel, aluminum, or copper, among other appropriate materials. In addition, thetube 10 may be manufactured by any one of a variety of methods, such as machining, casting, or extruding. For example, in a machining operation, thetube 10 may be manufactured by rotating a mandrel with respect to thetube 10 to produce spiraled grooves that form the first and second spiral upsets 18 and 20 in thetube 10. - Although the above description and the accompanying figures describe the multi-spiral upset
heat exchanger tube 10 as having two spiral upsets 18 and 20, the tube may have any greater number of spiral upsets. - The preceding description has been presented with reference to presently preferred embodiments of the invention. Persons skilled in the art and technology to which this invention pertains will appreciate that alterations and changes in the described structures and methods of operation can be practiced without meaningfully departing from the principle, spirit and scope of this invention. Accordingly, the foregoing description should not be read as pertaining only to the precise structures described and shown in the accompanying drawings, but rather should be read as consistent with and as support for the following claims, which are to have their fullest and fairest scope.
