Heat exchanger
Abstract
A heat exchanger includes a body. Both sides of the body are provided with a first flowing path set and a second flowing path set. The first flowing path set and the second flowing path set are provided with a plurality of flow-disturbing portions on both sides of the body respectively. The body is provided with an inlet and an outlet in communication with the first flowing path set and the second flowing path set. A working fluid circulates in the first flowing path set and the second flowing path set. The flow-disturbing portions make the working fluid to generate separated eddies to increase the strength of turbulent flow and to improve the heat-conducting efficiency of the heat exchanger greatly.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:

2 . The heat exchanger according to 1 , wherein each of the flow-disturbing portions is a protrusion rib.
3 . The heat exchanger according to 1 , wherein each of the flow-disturbing portions is a recess groove.
4 . The heat exchanger according to 1 , wherein one end of the first spiral flowing path is connected to the inlet, the other end of the first spiral flowing path is connected to one end of the second spiral flowing path, the other end of the second spiral flowing path is connected to the outlet.
5 . The heat exchanger according to 1 , wherein one end of the third spiral flowing path is connected to the inlet, the other end of the third spiral flowing path is connected to one end of the fourth spiral flowing path, the other end of the fourth spiral flowing path is connected to the outlet.
6 . The heat exchanger according to 1 , wherein the first cover is provided with a plurality of flow-disturbing portions to correspond to the first flowing path set.
7 . The heat exchanger according to 1 , wherein the second cover is provided with a plurality of flow-disturbing portions to correspond to the second flowing path set.
8 . The heat exchanger according to 1 , wherein the body further has a center, the first, second, third and fourth spiral flowing paths are constituted by radially extending from the center to the periphery of the body, the turning radius of the first, second, third and fourth spiral flowing paths gradually increases from the center to the periphery of the body.
9 . The heat exchanger according to 6 , wherein the flow-disturbing portion is a protrusion rib.
10 . The heat exchanger according to 7 , wherein the flow-disturbing portion is a protrusion rib.
11 . The heat exchanger according to 6 , wherein the flow-disturbing portion is a recess groove.
12 . The heat exchanger according to 7 , wherein the flow-disturbing portion is a recess groove.
13 . The heat exchanger according to 1 , wherein the flow-disturbing portion is arranged obliquely or tangentially.
14 . The heat exchanger according to 2 , wherein the flow-disturbing portion is arranged obliquely or tangentially.
15 . The heat exchanger according to 3 , wherein the flow-disturbing portion is arranged obliquely or tangentially.
16 . The heat exchanger according to 6 , wherein the flow-disturbing portion is arranged obliquely or tangentially.
