Abstract
The invention is a tube inserter used in manufacturing heat exchangers, in particular, heat exchangers made of cut tubes. The tube inserter includes a frame, tubing feed channel, clip strip feed channel, and sprocket assembly. The sprocket assembly includes a sprocket, hub, and shaft. The clip strip feed channel receives clip strips and the tubing feed channel receives cut tubes. The sprocket inserts cut tubes into the clip strips and simultaneously advances the clip strips. The tube inserter may be used to produce heat exchanges of different widths and arrays of multiple heat exchangers. Multiple heat inserters may also be used in a heat exchanger production line.
