Abstract

A double pipe includes an outer pipe, an inner pipe, a fin member and a sealing part. The outer pipe has a plurality of outer crimping parts projecting to an inner diameter side and aligned in at least one of a lengthwise direction and a circumference direction. The inner pipe is arranged on an interior of the outer pipe with a flow path gap being defined between the outer pipe and the inner pipe. The inner pipe has a plurality of inner crimping parts aligned in the at least one of the lengthwise direction and the circumference direction and overlapping the outer crimping parts. The fin member is arranged on the interior of the inner pipe and held by the inner crimping parts. The sealing part seals between the outer pipe and the inner pipe.

Claims (16)

1. A double pipe comprising:

an outer pipe having a plurality of outer crimping parts projecting to an inner diameter side and aligned in a lengthwise direction and a circumference direction of the double pipe and

an inner pipe arranged on an interior of the outer pipe with a flow path gap being defined between the outer pipe and the inner pipe, the inner pipe having a plurality of inner crimping parts aligned in the lengthwise direction and overlapping the outer crimping parts;

a fin member arranged on the interior of the inner pipe and held by the inner crimping parts; and

a sealing part sealing between the outer pipe and the inner pipe, wherein

the outer pipe further has a ring-shaped restriction wall part that curves continuously from the outer crimping parts aligned in the circumference direction, and

the restriction wall part blocks one end of the flow path gap.

2. The double pipe of claim 1 , wherein

a brazing material is retained in a retention part defined between the outer crimping parts and the inner crimping parts adjacent in the lengthwise direction.

3. The double pipe of claim 2 , wherein

a gap in which the brazing material flow is defined between the outer crimping parts and the inner crimping parts adjacent in the circumference direction.

4. The double pipe of claim 2 , wherein

the outer crimping parts and the inner crimping parts adjacent to each other in the lengthwise direction are offset in the circumference direction.

5. A method for manufacturing a double pipe having an outer pipe, an inner pipe arranged on an interior of the outer pipe with a flow path gap being defined between the outer pipe and the inner pipe, and a fin member is arranged on an interior of the inner pipe, the method comprising:

crimping the outer pipe to deform the inner pipe and forming a plurality of outer crimping parts and a plurality of inner crimping parts aligned in a lengthwise direction and a circumference direction of the double pipe so that the fin member is held by the inner crimping parts, the outer pipe further having a ring-shaped restriction wall part that curves continuously from the outer crimping parts aligned in the circumference direction so that the restriction wall part blocks one end of the flow path gap; and

providing a sealing part between the outer pipe and the inner pipe to seal between the outer pipe and the inner pipe.
