TUBULAR ELEMENT FOR A HEAT EXCHANGER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18059159 titled 'TUBULAR ELEMENT FOR A HEAT EXCHANGER

Simplified Explanation

The tubular element for a heat exchanger described in the abstract includes inlet channels, outlet channels, and a separating wall between them, with the inlet and outlet channels being asymmetric with respect to each other.

  • The tubular element is designed for a heat exchanger application.
  • It includes at least one set of inlet channels and at least one set of outlet channels.
  • A separating wall is configured between the inlet and outlet channels.
  • The inlet and outlet channels are asymmetric with respect to each other.

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in various heat exchange systems, such as industrial processes, HVAC systems, and automotive cooling systems.

Problems Solved

The design of the tubular element allows for efficient heat transfer between the inlet and outlet channels, optimizing the performance of the heat exchanger.

Benefits

  • Improved heat transfer efficiency
  • Enhanced overall performance of the heat exchanger
  • Potential for energy savings in various applications

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Industrial heat exchangers
  • HVAC systems
  • Automotive cooling systems

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing patents or publications related to heat exchanger designs with asymmetric channel configurations for improved heat transfer efficiency.

Unanswered Questions

How does the asymmetric configuration of the inlet and outlet channels impact the overall heat transfer efficiency of the heat exchanger?
