Title:
ABSORPTION REFRIGERATING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3138010
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PURPOSE: To improve performance and to reduce size by a method wherein a heat transfer pipe having a groove with a given width and depth formed at a given pitch facing an axially helically extending protrusion formed on the inner surface of a pipe is used as a heat pipe for a condenser and a vaporizer.
CONSTITUTION: A heat transfer pipe 30 is formed in a spiral shape and has a spiral groove 31 formed in the outer surface thereof, and a protrusion 32 is formed on the inner surface of the heat transfer pipe in a manner to be positioned facing the groove 31. A ratio P/D of a pitch P of the groove 31 to the diameter of the heat transfer pipe is set to 0.5-1.25, and the pitch P is, for example, 14 mm. Thus, compared with a smooth pipe, the coefficient of overall heat transmission is improved by 20% or more. A depth H of the groove 31 is, for example, 0.4 mm. When the depth is increased, a refrigerant enters the groove 31 and is not spread over the outer surface of the heat transfer pipe 30 but dropped. When the depth is decreased, turbulence effect operation of cold water owing to the protrusion 32 is reduced, whereby the depth is set to 0.3-0.8mm. Further, a width W of the groove 31 is, for example, 0.9 mm. When the width W is increased, the refrigerant is centralized in the groove 31, whereby the width is set to 0.5-5.0mm. A radius R of the groove is set to 0.4-1.0mm.
