Technical Field
The present invention relates to improved conductive tubing for heating non-corrosive liquids, which when placed in heating equipments improves the heat absorption capacity of the equipments. More particularly, the present invention relates to an improved conductive tubing for non-corrosive liquids, having an inventive construction that allows the heating panel to collect and conduct the heat received effectively to the non-corrosive liquids inside the tubing.
Background and Prior Art
Presently the tubing used in heating equipment is of a circular cross-section having varying thickness. These tubes are not specifically designed for conduction of thermal heat to the non-corrosive liquids within the tube. Being circular in cross section the surface area of such tubes is very less. Thus, the surface area is increased by attaching a flat plate by methods such as welding. However, despite the attachment the surface area is bare minimum and is further restricted due to the welding costs. As the areas of contact is less, the amount of heat being conducted is less which results in to ineffective utilization of the surface area for heat transfer.
Object of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide an improved conductive tubing for heating non-corrosive liquids, which collects and conducts the heat effectively to the non corrosive liquid within the tube.
Statement of invention
The present invention discloses an improved conductive tubing for heating non-corrosive liquids with a hollow bean-shaped curved elliptical cross section (1); having an inner concave side (2); an outer convex side (3) and the outer convex side (3) being fixed to the panel (4) of the heating equipment to provide larger contact surface area as compared to that provided by the conductive tubing of the prior art.

Detailed Description
The foregoing objects of the invention are accomplished and the problems and shortcomings associated with prior art techniques and approaches are overcome by the present invention described in the present embodiment.
With reference to Figure 1, the present invention discloses an improved conductive tubing (1) for heating non-corrosive liquids. The tubing is so constructed that it has a hollow, bean shaped curved elliptical cross section. It is manufactured from elliptical tubing which is further bent so as to obtain the curved elliptical structure, resembling a bean shaped structure. The inner side (2) of the conductive tubing cross section is concave, while the outer side (3) of the tubing cross section is convex in shape. The outer convex side of the conductive tubing is fixed to the panel (4) of the heating equipment. This arrangement provides larger contact surface area as compared to that provided by the conductive tubing of the prior art, which is circular in shape. Thus, the conductive tubing of the present invention conducts maximum heat collected by means such as radiation, conduction and convection to the liquid passing through the tube section.
The improved conductive tubing for heating non-corrosive liquids according to the present invention may be made of any metal that is a good conductor of heat such as copper, etc.
Further, the metal may be in the form of tubes or sheets, having a thickness of approximately 0.8mm to 1.2 mm. In case the input metal is of circular tube section, the
3

bean-shaped section of the present invention can be produced by using cold rolling/forming operations, tube-rolling process etc.
The cross sectional area of flow of the curved elliptical conductive tubing of the present invention is same as that of the conductive tubing mentioned in the prior art.
The improved conductive tubing of the present invention is placed within the various heating equipment used for heating non-corrosive liquids and are connected to the intake sections and the outlet sections depending upon the type of equipment. For example in case of panels in solar water heaters, a circular tube at the inlet position and another circular tube at the outlet position is connected. Hence, both portions of such tubes need to be formed into circular tubes of required diameters.
Further, the improved conductive tubing for heating non-corrosive liquids according to the present invention may be further processed for secondary processes such as black conductive coatings to enhance the heat absorption capacity of the conductive tubing.
Advantages:
1. The conductive tubing for heating non-corrosive liquids of the present invention reduces the material content of equipment and it's size.
2. The conductive tubing of the present invention makes the heating equipment cost effective and simpler to manufacture.
3. The conductive tubing of the present invention aids faster heating of the non-corrosive liquids as compared to other conventional heating equipment.
