Tubular Ridge Surfaces with Intensified Heat Exchange and Technology of Their Manufacturing for Air Coolers of Fuel and Energy Complex

Abstract

The paper presents designs of bimetallic ridge pipes (BRP) with spirally-wound aluminium KLM-edges for heat exchange air coolers. Heat exchange BRP differ from the applied ones in heat-transfer coefficient which is higher by 10–15 %, extended temperature of applicability up to 320 °С for a cooled heat carrier at the pipe input, higher thermal reliability at alternating thermal burdens, current consumption for their manufacturing which is less by 1.8–2.5-fold, aluminium consumption which is less up to 1.8-fold, manufacturability in batch production,  availability high-production equipment
