HEAT EXCHANGER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240247881 titled 'HEAT EXCHANGER
The abstract describes a heat exchanger with a heat transfer pipe for refrigerant and fins that allow air to pass through. Each fin has a corrugated portion in a zigzag shape and a sheet portion around the through-hole.
- The heat exchanger includes a heat transfer pipe and fins spaced apart for air flow.
- Each fin has a corrugated portion in a zigzag shape and a sheet portion around the through-hole.
- The sheet portion is recessed from the corrugated portion and corresponds to at least 16% of the fin's area.
- The design allows for efficient heat transfer and airflow in the heat exchanger.
- This innovation improves the overall performance and efficiency of the heat exchanger.
Potential Applications: - HVAC systems - Refrigeration units - Industrial cooling systems
Problems Solved: - Enhanced heat transfer efficiency - Improved airflow in heat exchangers
Benefits: - Increased energy efficiency - Reduced operating costs - Improved overall system performance
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Heat Exchanger Design for Improved Efficiency This technology can be used in various commercial applications such as HVAC systems, refrigeration units, and industrial cooling systems. It offers improved heat transfer efficiency, airflow, and overall system performance, making it a valuable solution for companies looking to enhance their cooling systems.

Original Abstract Submitted
a heat exchanger includes: a heat transfer pipe to guide a refrigerant; and a plurality of fins spaced apart from each other to allow air to pass in a first direction, the plurality of fins each having a through-hole through which the heat transfer pipe is installed, each of the plurality of fins includes a corrugated portion formed in a zigzag shape proceeding in the first direction and a sheet portion recessed from the corrugated portion around the through-hole to be parallel with the first direction, and an area of the sheet portion corresponds to 16% or more of an area of one unit among a plurality of units of the fin.
