Heat exchanger tube, heat exchanger tube assembly, and methods of making the same

A tube for use in a tube assembly for a heat exchanger includes a flat section located away from a tube end. The flat section includes broad, flat, parallel tube sides joined by narrow sides so that the tube is relatively thin in one direction. A cylindrical section extends from the end of the tube,...

Zusammenfassung:A tube for use in a tube assembly for a heat exchanger includes a flat section located away from a tube end. The flat section includes broad, flat, parallel tube sides joined by narrow sides so that the tube is relatively thin in one direction. A cylindrical section extends from the end of the tube, and a transition section connects the cylindrical section and the flat tube section. The geometry of the transition section provides resistance to bending at the intersection between the flat tube section and the transition section.
