Roller Profiling for Shaping Corrugated Profiles on the Heat Exchanger Tape for Wind Tunnels

The efficiency of regenerative heat exchangers with heat-accumulating nozzles made of rolled corrugated tapes depends on the profile of their corrugation. It is technologically difficult to obtain corrugations of a given shape by copying --- stamping. It is technically more expedientto form such a profile by rolling between two rollers. The contact area is smaller, and the contact pressure is significantly higher. In this case, the shape and accuracy of the tape profile are determined by the accuracy of calculation and manufacturing of the profile of the rollers. The length of the profiling zone and the contact pressure depend on the diameter of the rollers. To apply the known profiling techniques when calculating the corrugated profile of the rollers, it is necessary to find the position of the centroid. However, the difficulty is in the tape between the rollers whose thickness cannot be neglected. Therefore, the problem is solved by rolling the roller and the rail smooth, where the tape with a profile formed on it is considered as a rail. The paper introduces a technique of roller profiling taking into account the above factors. When profiling the rollers, the springing of the tape, i.e., elastic aftereffect of plastic deformation, is taken into account. The suitable diameter of the rollers has been determined. The study results in a method developed for calculating the rollers corrugation profile, taking into account the established parameters, i.e., diameters of the centroids and rollers, and the rollers teeth profile correction value, depending on the tape springing during rolling
