Air-liquid heat exchanger
Abstract
A heat exchanger is comprised of a plurality of chambers, wherein each of the plurality of chambers has a repeating pattern of shapes wherein each of the plurality of chambers consists of two opposite deflectors, wherein each deflector is a mirror image of its opposite deflector but shifted approximately half a the wall length. Each of the deflectors is defined by a specific sequence of components starting with a rounded wall from which extends a shear barrier and the wall is terminated by a diverter. The diverter, along with the shear barrier, forms a low pressure zone which creates a vortex. A coil for carrying a liquid wherein the coil consists of a long winding pipe forming tube bundles passing through all of the plurality of chambers.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A heat exchanger is comprised of a plurality of chambers, wherein each said plurality of chambers having a repeating pattern of shapes wherein each said plurality of chambers consists in a pair of deflectors wherein each one is a mirror image of its opposite deflector but shifted approximately half a said wall length and all of said plurality of chambers causing multiple passes by same air through multiple sections of a coil consisting in a long winding pipe,
containing a heat transfer liquid, wherein said coil passing through all said plurality of chambers; and wherein repeated passage of same air increases turbulence colliding onto said tubes and between said tubes by passing from a large area to a smaller area between said tubes and returning to a larger area after passing between said tubes; each said deflector redirecting said air stream and causing a uniform redistribution of air molecules along said coil section; each said wall length being defined by a specific sequence of components starting with a rounded wall from which extends a shear barrier and said wall terminated by a diverter, and; said diverter, along with said shear barrier, forming a low pressure zone which creates a vortex; an inlet and an outlet for said air.
2 . The heat exchanger of claim 1 wherein air enters by way of an inlet into said plurality of chambers; said air is then divided in two air streams so that said air streams enter two separate but parallel of said plurality of chambers; said air streams interacting with said walls; said air streams passing through said coil which carries a heat transfer liquid; said air streams following a doubled-up rounded section that brings said air streams into a second half of said plurality of chambers and said coil member, said air streams reaching an outlet and exiting said heat exchanger.
3 . The heat exchanger of claim 1 wherein the flow of liquid inside said coil starting at a point in said heat exchanger where air temperature is at its lowest and said flow finishing where said air temperature is at its highest.
4 . The heat exchanger of claim 1 wherein air is heated by way of a solar heat panel.
5 . The heat exchanger of claim 2 wherein the flow of liquid inside said coil starting at a point in said heat exchanger where air temperature is at its lowest and said flow finishing where said air temperature is at its highest.
6 . The heat exchanger of claim 2 wherein air is heated by way of a solar heat panel.
7 . A heat exchanger wherein a high velocity air stream enters through an inlet into said heat exchanger; said air stream enters an antechamber wherein the air stream crosses a first tube bundle, is then divided by a divider so that said air stream travels in two separate parallel paths, wherein in each path, the air stream strikes an initial deflector which directs said air stream into one of a plurality of chambers; in said plurality of chambers, a portion of said air stream interacts with a curved wall while another portion of said air stream creates a venturi effect which sucks air from a low pressure zone wherein said low pressure zone is defined by a space between a shear barrier and a diverter; said air stream crossing tube bundles along said deflector as it continues into the next chamber and all the way to an outlet.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
