The invention provides an outer fin heat exchange tube with a spiral inner core, and relates to the technical field of heat exchange. The manufacturing method comprises the following steps of S1, acquiring the spiral inner core: (1)
processing into a longitudinal fin profile by adopting a hot
extrusion way; and (2) applying rotational torque to the profile extruded at a
constant speed through a rotation-shearing tool according to a rotational speed corresponding to a designed screw
pitch while the profile is relatively hot and easy to deform, so that a longitudinal fin is spirally deformed toobtain the spiral inner core; S2, compounding the spiral inner core and a base tube: (1) obtaining a cored base tube by a
thermal expansion and cold contraction or rolling compounding method; and S3,compounding the cored base tube and an outer fin sleeve: (1) manufacturing an outer sleeve by adopting a hot
extrusion way; (2) performing contact-type inserting of the cored base tube in the outer sleeve when the outer sleeve is relatively hot and the internal
diameter of the outer sleeve is relatively large, and compounding the outer sleeve and the cored base tube when the outer sleeve is subjected to
thermal expansion and cold contraction; and (3), extruding the outer fin on the outer sleeve to manufacture the outer fin heat exchange tube with the spiral inner core. The outer fin heat exchange tube with the spiral inner core overcomes the defects that in the prior art, the length of a corrugated inner fin of a heat exchange tube is limited, trash needs to be cleaned in
soldering, the production cost is high, the cycle is long, and the application range is limited.
