HEAT EXCHANGER CHANNEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240019218 titled 'HEAT EXCHANGER CHANNEL

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a fluid flow channel for a heat exchanger. The channel consists of an elongate tubular channel body with walls, through which heat exchanger fluid flows. The channel body includes two or more straight sections with a constant cross-section (rectangular, square, or triangular) and twisted sections between each pair of adjacent straight sections. The twisted sections result from twisting one straight section about the axis with respect to the adjacent straight section.

  • The patent application describes a novel design for a fluid flow channel in a heat exchanger.
  • The channel body includes straight sections with a constant cross-section and twisted sections between them.
  • The twisted sections are formed by twisting one straight section about the axis with respect to the adjacent straight section.
  • The design allows for efficient flow of heat exchanger fluid through the channel.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Heat exchangers in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and power generation.
  • HVAC systems for buildings.
  • Industrial processes requiring heat transfer.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Improved heat transfer efficiency due to the unique channel design.
  • Reduction in pressure drop and energy consumption.
  • Enhanced performance of heat exchangers in various applications.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased heat transfer rates.
  • Improved overall efficiency of heat exchangers.
  • Compact design, allowing for space-saving installations.
  • Potential for cost savings in energy consumption.



Original Abstract Submitted

a fluid flow channel for a heat exchanger, the channel comprising an elongate tubular channel body extending along an axis a from a first end to a second end, the channel body having walls, the interior surface of which define an interior channel through which heat exchanger fluid flows from the first end to the second end, and wherein the channel body comprises two or more straight sections having a constant cross section in which the interior channel has a rectangular, square or triangular cross-section, and a twisted section between the or each pair of adjacent straight sections, in the axial direction, the twisted section being a section resulting from one of the straight sections twisted about the axis a with respect to an adjacent straight section.
