Definitions

  • the invention has for a principal object to provide.
  • the invention consists principally in a heat exchanger located in a conduit for circulating a heat-transfer fluid provided on one of its faces with fins defining between them sub-channels throughout the depth of which the heat transfer fluid flows, said fins being of the longitudinal type and arranged in chevron, spiral polyzonal or transverse dispositions with induced fiow, and wherein the said sub-channels are distributed regularly in successive similar groups, the depth and/or width of said sub-channels of a same group varying from one sub-channel to the next.
  • each group of sub-channels may be formed by two sub-channels.
  • the fins may be of a rectangular or a trapezoidal section and may additionally have variable thickness.
  • the base of the sub-channels may be flat, concave or convex.
  • FIGURE 1 shows an axial section along a heat exchanger of a conventional type
  • FIGURE 2 is an axial section along a heat exchanger according to the invention in which the depth of the subchannels is variable
  • FIGURE 3 shows a similar axial section of a heat exchanger according to the invention in which the depth and the width of the sub-channels and the thickness of the fins are variable, and
  • FIGURE 4 shows an isometric projection of an embodiment of heat exchanger according to the invention applied to a sheath having fins arranged in a chevron pattern.
  • the structure of an exchanger may be defined by a certain number of parameters which are the thickness 2 of the exchanger, the height h of the fins, the width or of the sub-channels, the thickness 5 of the fins, and the diameter D0 of the source of heat which in the example selected is a cylindrical tube of uranium.
  • a heat exchanger having reinforced fins may be such that from one fin to the next, the thickness of the exchanger varies. It may be defined by variable parameters which are the thickness e and the extra thickness e of the heat exchanger, the height I1 of the deeper sub-channel and the height h of the shallower sub-channel.
  • the cooling of the sheath is characterised by a drop in the temperature across the actual thickness and along the fins, the point b being cooler than the point a.
  • the point e cooler is about C.
  • the difference between a and b is about 12 C. whilst that between a and c is in excess of 20 C.
  • the base of the fins is substantially cooler than in exchangers of types previously employed.
  • the value of the maximum constraint in the profile of FIGURE 1 (point b) is taken to be unity, there is obtained for the two examples chosen accondin g to FIGURE 2 constraints respectively of 0.87 and 0.64 (point 0). If the value of the sag or depression attained by the fin in the more highly stressed zone, by extrusion in a given time in the profile of FIGURE 1, is also taken as unity, the sag or depression for the profiles according to FIG- URE 2 will respectively be about 0.8 and 0.5 without moreover taking into account the decrease in temperature of the loaded zone (respectively of 10 and 20 C.), which operates equally in the direction of decrease in the extrusion.
  • the fins may alternatively be wide (2a) and narrow (2b) and the channels alternatively wide and deep (3a) and narrow and less deep (3b).
  • the bases of the sub-channels also being variable for example they may be flat for the less deep subchannels, with a convex base for the deep sub-channels.
  • FIGURE 4 shows an embodiment of the sub-channels in accondance with the invention on a sheath or tubular member 4 of generally polygonal configuration as viewed in cross-section provided with fins arranged on the surface of the sectors 4a, 4b, 40, etc. in a chevron pattern, alternately going in one direction and the other (fins 5 and 6 respectively) separated by passages such as 7 and 8 which are devoid of fins.
  • the sub-channels provided between the fins are here according to the invention alternately deep (sub-channels 10 and 11) and less deep (sub-channels 12 and 13').
  • the bottom wall of the sub channels 10 in each sector may be considered as lying in the plane of the surface of the respective sector.
  • a heat exchanger for location in a conduit in a nuclear reactor through which a heat transfer fluid is adapted to be circulated comprising: a tubular member having a passage extending therethrough for receiving a nuclear fuel element therein, the outer surface of said member being of polygonal configuration as viewed in transverse cross-section and providing a plurality of identical sectors anranged the-rearound; and a plurality of fins formed integral with said member and extending outwandly substantially the same distance from the surface of each of said sectors; the fins being parallel to each other on each sector and inclined at an angle to the axis of said member and in opposite directions in adjacent sectors so as to form a chevron pattern, said fins in each of said sectors defining therebetween channels for the flow of said heat transfer fluid therethrough, the alternate channels in each of said sectors extending from the outer extremity of said fins to the surface of the sector being of a uniform, predetermined depth and the adjacent channels disposed between said alternate channels in each of said sectors being of a uniform depth different from said predetermined
  • a heat exchanger as defined in claim 1 in which A the alternate channels in each of said sectors are of substantially the same width and the adjacent channels are of a different width.
  • a heat exchanger as defined in claim 1 in which the extremities of each fin at the longitudinal edges of each sector extend substantially perpendicular to the surface of the respective sector, the extremities of the fins of adjacent sectors providing flow passages for said heat transfer fluid extending longitudinally of said member and between adjacent sectors.
  • a heat exchanger as defined in claim 4 in which the alternate channels in each of said sectors are of substantially the same width and the adjacent channels are of a different width.
