DESCRIPTION

Technical Field

Invention relates to a radiator interconnection apparatus providing prevention of leakage in aluminium cast radiator and increasing radiator use life, and a production method for interconnection apparatus.

Invention particularly relates to a radiator interconnection apparatus convenient for use inside aluminium cast radiator core sections, providing prevention of leakages occurring in radiators in time due to use and increasing total use life of radiator, and a production method for the interconnection apparatus.

Present State of the Art

In heating sector, radiators helping transfer of heat taken from fluids in hot form passing through them like aluminium cast radiator sections are used. Insert parts in form of pipe in structure allowing passage of fluids there through for transmission of hot fluids inside the radiator are used. Said pipe insert parts are generally made from steel for providing resistance against wearing and tearing, and comprises a pipe called "recycling pipe" and empty cylinder form connection parts called “collectors mounted on ends of said pipe. During said pipe insert parts production a narrowing process is applied onto both ends of recycling pipe by means of "machining" method and thus it is provided to extend outer surface diameter of recycling pipe outward. Thus, easy placement of conic shaped ends into housing on collector body is provided. After placement, welding operation is performed by use gas metal arc welding or resistance welding to fix recycling pipe and collectors to each other.

Particularly, in multi-storey buildings, said fluid should be transmitted at higher pressure values for transfer of fluids in hot form to top storeys. However, upon application of narrowing operation onto recycling pipe, contact of ends of recycling pipe to outer surface of collector is completely prevented and depending on long-time use of radiator, negative consequences such as leakage from areas where recycling pipe and collectors are joined arising out of changing pressure differences of the fluid are prevented. While operation efficiency of radiator reduces due to leakage effect, leakage causes damage to radiator and reduces use life thereof. From the related art, patent document numbered W02010131272A1 discloses a connection apparatus providing distribution and collection of fluid in hot form for aluminium cast radiator, and a production method for it. Said connection apparatus comprises a head part made from aluminium alloy produced in cast, providing collection and distribution of fluid and an interconnection pipe made from steel material and connected to head part. Each end of interconnection pipe is shaped in cone with outer surface diameters decreasing towards end and connected to head part by help of forced coupling. Said head part comprises more than one fluid transmission opening of convenient structure for placement of connection pipe end into entrance of each and main transmission opening providing transmission of fluid collected from transmission openings through one single line. While gradual form casting operation is applied during manufacture of head part, flexible deformation operation is applied for shaping end parts of connection pipe. By help of said connection apparatus, a radiator connection apparatus eliminating problem of heavy weight seen in radiators made from iron material and low heat transfer problem encountered in radiators comprising pipes made from plastic material is obtained. However, it does not mention elimination of leakage problem occurring between transmission openings and insert connection pipe on particularly head part due to long-time use and varying fluid pressure and thus does not disclose efficient long operation life of radiator either.

As a result, a radiator interconnection apparatus convenient for use inside particularly aluminium cast radiator sections and providing prevention of leakages occurring in time due to long time use, increasing physical resistance against high fluid pressures of radiators and use life, and a production method for such apparatus is needed.
