Heat transfer surface and manufacturing method for same
First Claim
1. A heat transfer surface assembly having groups of cavities and groups of restricted openings in an outer surface region of a heat transfer wall, said heat transfer assembly comprising a laminate of a plurality of elongate thin plate members which are arranged side-by-side with each other on a base member of said heat transfer wall and which are laminated to said base member;
- each of said elongate thin plate members including a number of elongate cavities which are laterally arranged with respect to the length of the plate members and are parallel with each other, said elongate cavities being closed at an outer surface portion of said plate members and having openings at both ends;
the adjacent cavities of adjacent plate members being in communication with each other via openings at adjacent ends between said side-by-side plates members;
said outer portions of the plate members having a plurality projections that extend outwardly from the plate members in a direction generally parallel to the elongate cavities, spaces between the adjacent projections of adjacent plate members defining the groups of restricted openings and said restricted openings allowing entry and egress of fluids into and out of said cavities.

Abstract
In a heat transfer surface having cavity groups and restricted opening groups in an outer surface region, the cavity groups are composed of a plurality of rows of void strip members. The cavity strip members are arranged in parallel on a base member of the heat transfer surface and are laminated in one or more layers. Each strip member has a number of elongate cavities laterally arranged in parallel. The elongate cavities are closed at upper surfaces and have at both ends openings. The adjacent cavities in the same layer are communicated with each other by communicating portions each provided between the cavity strip members and by the openings. The restricted opening groups are formed on the upper surfaces of the communicating portions. The restricted opening groups render the communicating portions in one layer, the communicating portions in another layer and the outside to communicate with each another. The method of manufacturing such a heat transfer surface is also disclosed.
