FLOW ELEMENT FOR GENERATING A TURBULENT SWIRLING FLOW, AND HEAT TRANSFER DEVICE COMPRISING A FLOW ELEMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a flow element (20) for generating a turbulent flow of a fluid (6) flowing through a tube (4), in particular a tube (4) of a heat transfer device (2). The flow element can be inserted into the tube (4) and can be fixed within the tube (4), and the flow element comprises a connection section (22) for fixing the flow element (20) within the tube (4) and a swirl-generating section (24) which is connected to the connection section (22). The swirl-generating section (24) comprises at least one baffle (32) for influencing the flow of a fluid (6) flowing through the flow element (20) and/or flowing past the flow element, and the baffle (32) is curved at least in some sections. The invention additionally relates to a heat transfer device (2) comprising a flow element (20).
