The invention discloses a circular
pipe communicated, spliced, edge-pinched, and welded pressure-bearing
heat exchanger, and a manufacturing process thereof. The
heat exchanger comprises two headers, wherein a
tap water communication
pipe is fixedly connected between the two headers; a hot air
heat supply pipe passes through the
tap water communication pipe; each header is formed by
welding two arc plates; the plate edges of the arc plates are flanged outwards; the plate edges of the two arc plates are aligned with each other and are subjected to edge-pinching and self-fluxing
welding to form a circular tubular header cylinder body; head blocking plates of the headers are flanged outwards and are embedded at two ports of the circular tubular headers; and the two edges are aligned with a pipe wall surface, are spliced and are subjected to the edge-pinching and the self-fluxing
welding to form the headers. An installation hole is punched on each arc plate; the installation hole is stretched inward an arc to form an edge; the aperture and the height of are stretched according to the arc plates; and the end surfaces of the two ends of the
tap water communication pipe are subjected to R-angle
cutting according to the stretching hole
diameter and the stretching height of the arc plates, and then the tap water communication pipe is inserted into the installation holes stretched from the arc plates, are matched with each other, are spliced and are subjected to edge-pinching and self-fluxing welding connection. In the
heat exchanger, welding seams are spliced, the edge-pinching welding is easy to realize, and
water leakage is avoided; and the heat exchanger is good in pressure-bearing performance, and low in maintenance cost.
