Refining and clad copper water jacket technology
Copper water jacket is an important form of heat transfer, which can not only transfer heat from one device to another device, but also prevent devices from contacting with fluid environments. It is a kind of container with double inner layer and double outer layer, which can bear strong pressure and prevent leakage. The inner layer and outer layer are usually made of copper and stainless steel respectively, and sometimes the outer layer can be made of aluminum material. Depending on usage, copper water jackets can be further divided into two major categories: high temperature refractory and vacuum sleeve.
High temperature refractory copper water jacket is mainly applied in the field of chemical processing, petrochemical, refining and casting work, etc. It can bear high temperature up to 1600 degrees and realize uniform heat conduction. The vacuum sleeve copper water jacket has higher airtightness and can bear greater pressure. It is mainly used in the manufacturing and initial processing of precision tool and medical instruments. Refined and clad copper water jackets are usually adopted in the high-tech industrial production. This technology is a combination of welding and machining. It is designed to realize the perfect junction between two different materials, and it can effectively realize uniform heat transfer and enhance the service life of the product.
The production process of refined and clad copper water jacket is complicated and demanding. Firstly, the inner and outer layer materials should be chosen according to the environment and technical requirements of the product. Then, the two materials should be cut and machined into expected shape. After that, the inner and outer layer materials should be welded together, and the welding seam should be machined for further standardization. Finally, the sample should go through a series of strict tests, such as pressure, temperature, corrosion and fatigue tests, etc. Afterward, the qualified copper water jacket should be put into production.
Refined and clad copper water jacket technology has good resistance to pressure, temperature and corrosion, which makes it an ideal material for industries such as oil refining, casting, chemical engineering, etc. It can be used in a wide range of fields and it has significant economic value. Not only can it make products safer, but also help reduce environmental damage caused by conventional heat transfer technologies. In sum, the refined and clad copper water jacket technology is an efficient and practical heat transfer technology.
