老化房广泛用于热风循环烘烤、固化的涂装线上，目前应用较多的是列管式箱式老化房，它是一种“气—气”换热型的老化房，一种气体走管内，一种气体走管外的垂直交叉型冲刷换热，气—气换热的换热系数很低，需要大大增加换热面积来满足热量交换，导致耐高温金属耗量大，体积庞大，基管同翅片挠绕虚拟接触热阻大，传热效果差，制造成本高，且气体管内流动阻力大，导致动力消耗大，同时辐射受热面的管板同管子联结处由于温差应力导致管板开裂时有发生；列管因氧化、磨损、过热及露点腐蚀等原因发生穿透，导致烟气同空气的贯通，且无法维修；列管式老化房是管内壁吸热管外壁放热的导热型老化房、排烟温度高、热效率只在40-50%。
Aging room is widely used in hot air circulating baking and curing coating line. At present, tubular box-type aging room is widely used. It is a kind of "gas-gas" heat exchange type aging room, a kind of gas running in pipe, a kind of vertical cross-type scouring heat transfer outside the pipe. The heat transfer coefficient of gas-gas heat transfer is very low. It needs to increase the heat exchange area to meet the heat exchange, resulting in resistance to heat. High-temperature metal consumes a large amount, its volume is huge, the virtual contact thermal resistance between the base tube and the fin is flexible, the heat transfer effect is poor, the manufacturing cost is high, and the flow resistance in the gas pipe is large, which leads to a large power consumption. At the same time, the connection between the tube plate of radiation heating surface and the tube is often cracked due to temperature difference stress; the tube is penetrated due to oxidation, wear, overheating and dew point corrosion. As a result, flue gas and air penetrate, and can not be maintained; tubular aging room is a heat conducting aging room with heat release from the outer wall of the inner wall of the tube, high exhaust temperature, and thermal efficiency is only 40-50%.
热管是一种具有高导性能的传热组件，它通过在全封闭真空管内的工质蒸发与冷凝传递热量，其导热性能是优良导热材料（铜，银等）的几千倍，具有“超导热体”之称。热管的二次间壁换热特性是实现安全可靠，长期运行的重要保证，根据热交换温度不同，可采用不同的热管的传热载体——工质，以满足低 温、常温、中温、高温的换热段的要求。
Heat pipe is a kind of heat transfer module with high conductivity. It transfers heat through evaporation and condensation of working substances in a fully enclosed vacuum tube. Its thermal conductivity is thousands of times higher than that of excellent thermal conductive materials (copper, silver, etc.). It is called "superconducting heat body". The heat transfer characteristics of the secondary wall of heat pipe is an important guarantee to realize safety and reliability and long-term operation. According to the different heat exchange temperatures, different heat transfer carriers, working fluids, can be used to meet the requirements of low, normal, medium and high temperature heat transfer sections.

Fully automatic fuel (gas) heat pipe aging room is an efficient and pressureless heat exchanger which directly produces clean hot air by using phase change superconducting heat transfer of working fluid in heat pipe. Its structure is to divide the heat exchange box into two parts: the upper part is a hot air generating room and the lower part is a combustion furnace and flue which can never be connected. The heat pipe is encased in a conical clasp ring with two asbestos climbing roots. In the fork row holes of the tube sheet, the stainless steel heat pipe heat absorbing section extends into the lower furnace of the tube sheet to receive radiation heat transfer. In the heat absorbing hole of the high frequency welded fin heat pipe, the stainless steel heat pipe heat absorbing section extends into the lower furnace of the tube sheet to receive radiation heat transfer. After the high frequency welded fin heat pipe heat absorbing section extends into the lower furnace of the tube sheet, the flue convection heat transfer absorbs the combustion heat of the burner, and the working substance absorbs vaporization latent heat at low temperature. The heat is conveyed to the heat release section of high frequency welded fin heat pipe placed in the hot air generating chamber on the tube plate at supersonic speed only with a small temperature (pressure) difference in the empty tube. Under the reverse flow scouring, latent heat of condensation is released to clean air, and the air is heated rapidly. The working fluid condenses into liquid by gravity and flows back and forth along the tube wall to the heat absorption section at the lower part of the heat pipe, then the heat is absorbed, vaporized and circulated back and forth. The speed of nearly a thousand times per minute releases heat from combustion into the air. The heat pipe aging room is the most advanced hot air generator with fast start-up and temperature rise. The measured heat energy utilization rate is 84.3%. Nearly twenty heat pipe aging rooms have fully met the design requirements after two years'application in painting and drying industries.
