  • Air cooled heat exchanger with enhanced heat transfer coefficient fins
    Patent number: 7743821
    Abstract: The heat exchanger includes a tube having axially spaced fins or a continuously spirally wound fin about the tube. One or more of the fins are dimpled, mechanically or molded, to provide concavities and projections on opposite sides of the fins or alternating concavities and projections on opposite side of the fins. The dimples improve the heat transfer between the fluid flowing through the tubes and the air circulating about the tubes and through the fins. The dimples create vortices and turbulent flow between the fins and effectively increase the heat transfer rate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 26, 2006
    Date of Patent: June 29, 2010
    Assignee: General Electric Company
