serpentine kettle and plate exchanger

[maxf16]

Hello everyone,
I've been following you for a while and often you've been helping me with the "search":smile:. . .
Now I have a problem that I can't solve.. . .
as from titles I have to build a spiral for a heat exchanger and a plate with a serious of holes but I can't understand how to make them since with the serial command is both polar and rectangular I don't get out of anything valid and handing them all doesn't seem a valid solution.......:frown:
I attach a file that definitely explains better than a thousand words. . .
ps. I never used 3d sketch I hope you can't just do that...
Thank you all.

hi regarding the plate since there is symmetry between the holes I would first make 1/4 of pie of the holes with " Rectangular series" following the step of the holes in 2 rows, after which you make the series of the 2 rows to complete the 1/4 of cake and mirrors under all creating half cake, then the game is made mirroring the destination of the cake to the opposite.
As for serpentine, if you want to do a job done well, you have to use the helical curve in the 3d sketch and the terminal parts of the coil with 2d sketches using the intersecting points with the final points of the 3d sketch helical curve, then perform a sweep for the creation of the solid and do an emptying to give the thickness and create a tube
can be that you will have to empty with 2 or 3 steps, cmq in this way do a good job even because if you have to make changes in a short time you make them

This is an example that you can study much better than explaining a poem

Hello, everyone, I'm sorry if I resume the discussion but I have problems with serpentine... .
in the sense that I can somehow make the serpentine in the regular part but then I can't do the part that is open and assumes what "sbilenco" trend. ...
you can give me some info....
Thank you.
