Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plate for use as heat-exchanging plate and to a method for producing the plate.
  • Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2 disclose the following technologies as methods for transferring micron-order fine irregularities onto the surface of a plate.
  • Patent Literature 1 The method for transfer onto a metal plate surface disclosed in Patent Literature 1 involves pressing a transfer portion having irregularities, which has been transferred to the outer peripheral face of transfer rolls, against a metal sheet that is transported by transport rolls. In this method, transferred portions of irregular shape identical to those of the transfer portions of the transfer rolls become formed on the surface of the metal sheet.
  • a plate of a heat-exchanging plate disclosed in Patent Literature 2 is a plate for a heat-exchanging plate, the plate being constituted by a titanium-made flat plate having fine irregularities formed on the surface, and being obtained through press working, as a post-process, of the flat plate.
  • the irregularities on the surface thereof are set in such a manner that a shape parameter defined as height ( ⁇ m) of projections ⁇ [width ( ⁇ m) of recesses / pitch ( ⁇ m) between adjacent projections / angle (deg) of projections] is 0.94 or smaller.
  • the heat-exchanging plate has enhanced heat transfer properties by virtue of the increased surface area achieved through formation of micron-order fine irregularities on the surface of the flat plate.
  • plates (flat plate) having fine irregularities formed on the surface are rarely used as they are (i.e. with irregularities remaining thereon), as heat-exchanging plates.
  • a plurality of projections having a height ranging from several mm to several cm is formed by press working on the surface of the heat-exchanging plate.
  • the fine irregularities formed on the surface of the plate for the heat-exchanging plate are flattened during press working. It is accordingly desirable to enhance the press formability of the plate.
  • Patent Literature 2 discloses a technology for solving the issue of press formability of the above plates.
  • press formability of the plate is enhanced by defining a shape parameter of the irregularities that are formed on the surface of the heat-exchanging plate.
  • the projections formed on the plate promote turbulence and forced convection, to thereby enhance condensation thermal transfer.
  • the condensation thermal transfer achieved by the heat-exchanging plate is significantly affected by the discharge of the generated liquid.
  • the effect of discharge of the generated liquid may in some instances be weaker than expected (i.e. smaller discharge amount of generated liquid), since the generated liquid spreads out on account of surface tension. Heat transfer properties in a condensation thermal transfer process are thus hard to enhance in the plate formed using the technology of Patent Literature 2.
  • the turbulence-promoting effect in the heat-exchanging plate may in some instances be weaker than expected on account of the low height and divided shape (i.e. not a shape of contiguous projections) of the uneven shape that is formed according to the technology of Patent Literature 2.
  • the uneven shape of Patent Literature 2 moreover, the contact surface area with a medium during condensation of a gas into liquid is small due to the liquid film that forms in the condensation process, and thus the effect of promoting condensation thermal transfer may be weaker than expected.
  • the heat-transfer performance of the heat-exchanging plate that is built into the heat exchanger is lowered by the liquid film that is generated when the heat exchanger is operated.
  • the design of the plate must ensure that the generated liquid film is discharged with good efficiency and that the film is thin.
  • Patent Literature 3 reveals a heat exchanger plate made of metal, provided with a secondary pattern.
  • the heat exchanger plate is additionally provided with a primary pattern impressed on the secondary pattern wherein the primary pattern includes a plurality of first and second ridges formed into V-shapes by the first ridges and the second ridges.
  • the step of impressing the primary and secondary patterns onto the material may be a stamping operation, a rolling operation, a pressing operation or an embossing operation.
