  • Patent number: 8069905
    Abstract: A gas cooling device capable of efficiently cooling a gas such as an EGR gas, etc. is provided. A multiplicity of cooling pipes perpendicularly intersecting a gas flow direction in a gas pipe for a gas such as an EGR gas, etc. are provided to extend through an outer peripheral wall of the gas pipe, a cooling jacket is provided on an outer surface of the gas pipe on both sides of a group of the cooling medium pipes in an axial direction, or on the entire outer surface of the gas pipe, and the gas in the gas pipe is cooled by a cooling medium flowing through the cooling pipes.

  • Patent number: 7614443
    Abstract: A heat exchanger tube has an inner peripheral surface serving as an exhaust gas flow path with a flat cross-sectional shape. A thin structure is incorporated in the heat exchanger tube and has a substantially rectangular channel-shaped waveform in cross section. The corrugated fin structure has a curved surface forming waveform meandering with a predetermined wavelength in the lengthwise direction. The wave width of the channel-shaped waveform is H, the wavelength of the waveform meandering in the lengthwise direction is L and the amplitude of the waveform meandering in the lengthwise direction is A. The heat exchanger tube is formed so that H/L is set at 0.17 to 0.20 and the ration (G/H) of a gap G determined by H?A to H is set at ?0.21 to 0.19.

  • Patent number: 7303002
    Abstract: A fin structure, a heat-transfer tube and a heat exchanger are formed of plate fins housed in a heat-transfer tube and have an excellent cooling efficiency by making the distribution and flow velocity of a flow uniform and by promoting an efficient heat-exchanging action. The fin structure includes plate fins housed in a heat-transfer tube and having a square section and a free shape in the longitudinal direction for dividing a passage for a fluid composed of a cooled medium or a cooling medium to flow in the heat-transfer tube, into a plurality of small passages. In the fin structure, notches, through holes, raised portions, ridges and/or troughs are formed in the sides or the upper or lower walls of the plate fins. The heat-transfer tube has the fin structure housed therein. The heat exchanger has the heat-transfer tube assembled therein.
