ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing a heat exchanger using fluidic expansion, the heat exchanger having tubing sections interconnected to form at least one circuit for transporting a first heat transfer fluid and conductive fins secured to the circuit for increasing the surface area thereof and increasing the heat transfer between the first fluid and a second fluid flowing among the fins. The tubing sections are positioned in a predetermined manner and the fins are disposed therewith and along the length thereof. The inlets and outlets of the tubing sections are then interconnected to form said the fluid circuit. Next, the fins are secured in place so as not become damaged during the sealing of the interconnections, which follows immediately thereafter. Finally, the entire circuit is expanded to enmesh said fins by enclosing the volume of the circuit and introducing an expansion fluid therein at a pressure which surpasses the tube yield strength of the tubing and causes the walls thereof to expand radially outward.
