Chain Link Wire heat transfer with Elliptical Section for high durability and High Heat transferebcia in Transient operation

摘要

The present invention discloses a heat transfer chain comprising circular links made from elliptical cross section solid wire, having a greater radius: lesser radius ratio of 1.5 to 3.0, having the axis formed by the greater radius of the elliptical section lined up with the diametrical direction of the circular link, achieving this way an increase in the chain's durability (less wear in time), and at the same time obtaining greater heat transfer efficiency due to a high surface area to unit of mass (ton) ratio in the installed chain. The present invention may be applied primarily to rotating chain furnaces, wherein these experiment transitory increases and reductions in temperature, for heat transfer between two or more phases, commonly seen in the concrete, paper and fertilizer industries.
