The invention discloses a folding-type microchannel porous flat
pipe and a molding method thereof. The flat
pipe is formed by subjecting a single
thin slab to integral molding, and the single
thin slab is sequentially advanced by a mechanical bending mechanism in a multi-point molding
control manner, wherein two ends of the single
thin slab are respectively bent circuitously, then the circuitously bent parts are vertically bent twice and then horizontally turned and folded once and are butt-jointed at a mesal position of the single thin slab for integral molding, and thus, a porous flat
pipe with mutually spaced fine pores is further formed. Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that: 1, the structural form of the flat pipe disclosed by the invention is suitable to being used in a light-weight
heat exchanger with light weight and
high heat conductivity; 2, the advantages of compact entire structure,
high heat exchange efficiency, light weight, firmness, durability, and
operation safety and reliability are achieved; 3, by adopting the integral folding and molding structure, the
energy consumption of a product production process is low, and the
pressure resistance of products is good; and 4, the effect of producing and yield can be achieved through mechanical control, the
inventory level is greatly reduced, the product turnover efficiency is increased, and the requirement on lean production can be met.
