End cap and heat exchanger with this end cap
Technical field
The utility model relates to the heat-exchange apparatus field, particularly a kind of end cap that is used to seal the header of heat exchanger.The utility model also relates to a kind of heat exchanger that comprises above-mentioned end cap.
Background technology
Heat exchanger is a device commonly used in the refrigeration system, for example in refrigeration system, can be used as evaporimeter or condenser.Fig. 1 is a kind of partial schematic diagram of traditional heat exchanger.As shown in Figure 1; This heat exchanger generally includes two headers 1 ' that laterally arrange substantially, be connected two between the header 1 ' heat exchanger tube 2 ' and be arranged on fin 3 ' between the adjacent heat exchange tubes 2 ' (part header 1 ', heat exchanger tube 2 ' and fin 3 ' only are shown among Fig. 1).Header 1 ' comprises hollow tube and is welded in the body two ends, is used to seal the end cap 4 ' of header 1 '.End cap 4 ' is a column, and fits through the inwall of its periphery wall and header 1 ' body.
Regardless of being in kind of refrigeration cycle or heating in the circulation that each components and parts and pipe-line system all need be carried certain pressure, this just makes must have certain voltage endurance capability as intrasystem heat exchanger.As shown in Figure 1, the main pressure-containing member in the heat exchanger be header 1 ' with heat exchanger tube 2 '.End cap is used to seal header 1 ', so end cap 4 ' also is the pressure-containing member of heat exchanger, and in the course of work of heat exchanger, the inside of heat exchanger can produce bigger pressure to the end cap 4 ' of header 1 '.In 1, the right-hand member of end cap 4 ' is the top, the left end bottom of end cap among the figure.Find through experimental analysis, concentrate maximum at top (representing with B among Fig. 1) stress of the periphery wall that is connected with header 1 ' of end cap 4 '.In the bottom (representing with A among Fig. 1) of the periphery wall that is connected with header 1 ' of end cap 4 ', stress value is bigger.When the maximum local stress of stress raiser arrives strength degree, can cause end cap 4 ' to destroy.
In order to improve the voltage endurance capability of end cap 4 '; Usually increase the thickness of end cap 4 '; But because header 1 ' internal volume is limited, in order to prevent the interference of size between end cap 4 ' and the flat tube 2 ', header 1 ' also needs elongated; Therefore need more end cap 4 ' and header 1 ' material, also increased the volume of heat exchanger.
