ABSTRACT:
A method for producing corrugated tubes of substantially high surface area for use in tube-in-shell heat exchangers which are particularly efficient for cooling water involves pointing a heat exchange tube at both ends to reduce the diameter substantially and increase the wall thickness of the pointed ends and then corrugating the tubes linearly. The tubes each having intermediate portions linearly corrugated to provide equally spaced deep corrugations extending in a straight line parallel to the axis of the tubes. The corrugations, which are equivalent to tubes, multiply the amount of heat transfer attainable from the point diameter selected for attachment to the tube sheets. The ratio of the surface area of the corrugated body portion to the surface areas of said reduced ends, per unit length, is in the range from about 1.5:1 to about 4:1. It also makes possible the contiguous relation of each tube to the surrounding tubes. The nesting of the tubes in a heat exchanger minimizes by-pass of the fluid and controls the velocity essential to achieving turbulent flow and attendant high rates of heat transfer.
