The Bending Condenser is a compact, air-cooled heat exchanger characterized by its flexible, curved tube design, allowing it to fit into irregular or space-constrained installations. Manufactured using precision bending technology, it maintains consistent refrigerant flow and heat transfer efficiency despite its non-linear shape. This condenser is ideal for small appliances and custom refrigeration systems where standard straight condensers cannot be installed due to spatial limitations.
Tubes (Φ6mm–Φ12mm) are bent using CNC machinery with bending radii of 15–30mm (depending on tube diameter), ensuring no cross-sectional deformation (≤5% reduction) that could restrict refrigerant flow. This preserves heat transfer efficiency at 95%+ compared to straight condensers.
The curved configuration reduces installation footprint by 40–50% compared to straight models of equivalent capacity. It can be shaped into U-bends, S-curves, or custom contours to fit around obstacles (e.g., appliance casings, structural supports).
Constructed with copper tubes (99.9% purity) and aluminum fins (0.1mm thickness), with optional tin plating for enhanced corrosion resistance in humid environments. The bending process does not compromise material integrity—burst pressure remains ≥3.5 MPa.
Available in 1–10 kW cooling capacity, suitable for small systems. The fin density (16–24 fins per inch) and bend spacing (20–50mm) are optimized to minimize airflow resistance, ensuring efficient heat dissipation.
Equipped with standard refrigerant connections (flare or solder type) and mounting brackets, it integrates seamlessly into custom refrigeration units. Compatible with common refrigerants: R134a, R600a, R404A, and R290.
Household Appliances: Used in compact refrigerators (dorm rooms, RVs) and wine coolers (12–18°C storage).
Medical Devices: Installed in portable vaccine refrigerators (2–8°C) for field use in remote areas.
Marine Equipment: Fits into small boat refrigerators due to its space-saving design and salt spray resistance (with protective coating).
Custom Industrial Systems: Integrated into laboratory cold traps and miniaturized cooling units for electronics testing.
Q: Does bending affect refrigerant flow and efficiency?
A: No. Precision bending ensures uniform tube diameter throughout the condenser, maintaining laminar flow of refrigerant. Testing shows only a 1–2% reduction in heat transfer efficiency compared to straight condensers, which is negligible for most applications .
Q: What is the maximum bending angle possible?
A: The condenser can achieve 90°–180° bends with a minimum radius of 15mm (for Φ6mm tubes). Tighter bends may cause tube wall thinning, so custom designs require engineering approval to ensure pressure resistance.
Q: How to clean a bending condenser with complex shapes?
A: Use a soft-bristle brush to remove dust from curved areas, followed by compressed air (0.2 MPa) to dislodge debris. Avoid high-pressure water, which can damage fins or enter electrical components in fan-equipped models. Annual cleaning maintains 90%+ of initial efficiency.
