Each in protruding portion 66 can have the height for being defined to the distance between its base portion 68 and top surface 70, The height is sufficient to make top surface 70 and the periphery flange 24 of core plate 12,14,16 substantially coplanar.Therefore, when core plate 12nd, 14,16 when being assembled into flat tube 22, and the protruding portion 66 of a core plate 12,14,16 can be with forming the other of flat tube 22 The protruding portion 66 of core plate 12,14,16 contacts, and can be soldered to the prominent of the other core plates 12,14,16 to form flat tube 22 Go out portion 66.By this method, protruding portion 66 can prevent part undesired and not of the boss 28 around protrusion of core plate 12,14 Controlled deformation, described undesired and uncontrolled deformation can adversely affect the deformation of heat exchanger 10.For example, Fig. 7 The opposing projections 66 for the opposite plate 12 for showing flat tube 22 with 8, the opposing projections 66 connect along its top surface 70 It touches, thus prevents the undesired deformation in the projection portion 26 of boss 28 of plate 12.
In order to further prevent undesired deformation of the core plate 12,14,16 in manifold 32,34 regions, a series of rigidity Every one end of heat exchanger module 42 can be applied to during compression step by compressing fixing piece 30, such as be shown in Fig. 9 to 12 's.Each compression fixing piece 30 is to include being attached to a pair of of leg 29,31 of end 33 and have and heat-generating electronic part 44 Substantially U-shaped piece of the substantially the same thickness (along axis C) of the thickness of (not being shown in FIG. 15).Leg 29,31 and end Portion 33 defines the close-fitting U-shaped notch 35 for the side wall 48 for being configured to form the boss 28 around a pair of engaging.
As shown in figs. 10-12, boss 28 of the fixing piece 30 along three side surrounding protrusions is compressed, and prevent Only undesired deformation of the core plate 12,14 during compression step.Figure 10 is the longitudinal sectional drawing along central plane, is shown Fixing piece 30 in its installation site, wherein leg 29 are longitudinally extended along the side of boss 28, and its medial end portions 33 Laterally across the end of heat exchanger.Figure 11 is the transverse cross-sectional view along the plane of the protruding portion 66 by core plate 12.Figure 11 show the compressed construction of heat exchanger module 42, and the wherein edge of heat-generating electronic part 44 is shown by a dotted line. The thickness of fixing piece 30 is substantially the same with the thickness of heat-generating electronic part 44 as can be seen from Figure 11, and each fixing piece 30 It is contacted with component 44 with the projection portion 26 of a pair of adjacent flat tube 22.Can with it is further seen that, fixing piece 30 is cut along U-shaped The inner peripheral edge of mouth 35 is engaged with projection portion 26 and with the support of pedestal 50 of boss 28.
Figure 12 shows with the height identical with heat generating components 44 and is inserted before direction compression of the core along arrow Enter the compression fixing piece 30 between the edge of two flat tubes 22 of the heat exchanger core of soldering.As in the figure 7, can see Go out compression fixing piece 30 and the upper surface of heat generating components 44 and the projection portion 26 of upper flat tube 22 between there are small―gap sutures.Such as Compression above in relation to the heat exchanger 10 of Fig. 8 discussion makes the heating surface 40 of flat tube 22 and the side surface of heat generating components 44 46 contacts.Because the heat generating components 44 and compression fixing piece 30 in Figure 12 have identical height, compression fixing piece 30 is allowed Maximum deformation quantity will make contact of the heating surface 40 with the side surface 46 of heat generating components 44, and further deformation and/ Or compression is prevented by compressing the presence of fixing piece 30.Once squeeze operation is completed, fixing piece 30 is just removed.
It should be noted that the leg 29,31 for compressing fixing piece 30 with the protruding portion 66 in core plate 12,14 vertically from Figure 11 and 12 (along axis C) alignment.The wall of 66 support protrusion part 26 of protruding portion is to prevent flat tube 22 in the region of boss 28 Deformation.As being shown in FIG. 12, the protruding portion 66 in top flat tube 22 has before the compression of heat exchanger 10 slightly Its top surface spaced apart.It is expected that, it will protruding portion 66 is made to be contacted during compression with another protruding portion 66.It compares Under, as can be from being found out the lower flat tube 22 in Figure 12, protruding portion 66 can just be in contact with each other before the compression, and It and can be by soldered joint together.
Core plate 12,14,16 further includes one or more features, to optimize multiple fluid flowing passages of heat exchanger 10 Flow distribution in 36, and the flow distribution also in optimization individual flow flow channel 36 minimizes bypass flow simultaneously.It should It recognizes, the fluid flowing passage 36 of heat exchanger 10 is parallelly arranged so that will to the fluid flow distribution of each channel 36 It can depend on the relative pressure drop of manifold 32,34 and individual flow flow channel 36.Due to the pros relatively of heat-generating electronic part 44 The heat-generating electronic part 44 of shape or the limited quantity in the geometry and every layer of rectangle, the heat exchange of type described herein The fluid flowing passage of device has relatively short length dimension (along axis A).For example, in heat exchanger 10, fluid flowing The length of channel 36 usually will be about 1-4 times of its width.Due to the geometry of fluid flowing passage 36, inventor is It has been observed that cooling fluid is may not be enough to throughout heat relative to the pressure drop of the fluid flowing passage 36 of the pressure drop of manifold 32,34 The fluid flowing passage 36 of exchanger 10 is uniformly distributed.Due to this reason, heat exchanger 10 further includes each fluid flowing of control One or more flow distributions of pressure drop in channel 36 and thus the fluid flow distribution of optimization fluid flowing passage 36 are special Sign.
Inventor has also been found that the pressure drop increased in fluid flowing passage 36 can lead to higher bypass flow, example Such as by the bypass flow of narrow bypass passageways 72, the narrow bypass passageways 72 extend to outlet manifold from inlet manifold 32 34, and the outer edge 6,8 of the longitudinal edge (along axis A) and fluid flowing passage 36 positioned at turbulence excess insertion piece 38 Between.This increased bypass flow by channel 72 has negative effect to the efficiency of heat exchanger 10.Therefore, it retouches herein The flow distribution feature configuration stated is the bypass flow that can also make to flow through channel 72 at the outer edge 6,8 of fluid flowing passage 36 It minimizes, heat generating components 44 is caused more effectively to cool down.
In the present embodiment, heat exchanger assemblies 10 further comprise flow distribution feature, the flow distribution feature packet The one or more flowing limitation ribs 74 being arranged at least some of fluid flowing passage 36 are included, with by along fluid stream At least part of the width of dynamic channel 36 come reduce the height of the fluid flowing passage 36 outside heat transfer region 76 and partly Stop that the fluid between manifold 32, at least one of 34 and heat transfer region 76 flows.In one or more flowing limitation rib 74 Each extend from the roof 2 or bottom wall 4 of flat tube 22.For example, in any one in fluid flowing passage 36, one or Multiple flowing limitation ribs 74 are along the fluid flowing passage 36 between manifold 32, at least one of 34 and heat transfer region 76 At least part of width reduces the height of fluid flowing passage 36.
As mentioned above, the core plate 12,14 of heat exchanger 10 is mutually the same, and therefore all has the stream of same structure Dynamic limitation rib 74.Although bottom plate 16 lack protrusion have hole boss 28, it can also have and core plate 12,14 same structures Flowing limitation rib 74.Flowing limitation rib 74 be formed in the projection portion 26 of core plate 12,14,16, and from core plate 12,14, 16 downside extends in the opposite direction along the boss 28 with protrusion from the side that the top of core plate 12,14,16 extends.Often The High definition of a flowing limitation rib 74 is the distance between its base portion 78 and top surface 80.
In the present embodiment, each in core plate 12,14,16 is provided between inlet manifold 32 and heat transfer region 76 First flowing limitation rib 74 and be arranged between outlet manifold 34 and heat transfer region 76 second flowing limitation rib 74. In some embodiments, flowing limitation rib 74 can be provided only between inlet manifold 32 and heat transfer region 76 or only in outlet discrimination Between pipe 34 and heat transfer region 76.In other words, in all embodiments, flowing limitation rib 74 is arranged on the two of heat transfer region 76 It is not essential at end.This depends on the size of fluid flowing passage 36, to be carried on the back by the expectation that rib 74 provides to a certain extent Pressure amount and the resulting bypass flow by bypass passageways 72.
Although the flowing limitation rib 74 of core plate 12,14,16 is shown as along the transverse axis B extension transverse to longitudinal axis A, But it's not necessary in all embodiments.In the present embodiment, the lateral arrangement of flowing limitation rib 74 allows heat transfer table The area in face 40 is maximized.In some embodiments, flowing limitation rib 74 can be essentially or nearly transverse to longitudinal axis It line A and/or can be tilted relative to longitudinal axis A.
In the present embodiment, flowing limitation rib 74 is along its whole length " height reduces " rib, it is meant that rib 74 Top surface 80 be less than periphery flange 26.Therefore, when core plate 12,14,16 is assembled into flat tube 22, each flat tube The top surface 80 of rib 74 in 22 opposite core plate 12,14,16 is separated from each other in order to provide fluid flow gap 81, such as It can find out in Fig. 2,5,7 and 8.
Figure 13-16 illustrates the heat exchanger module 42 ' including the heat exchanger 10 ' according to the second example embodiment.Heat Exchanger 10 ' is that it lacks protruding portion 66 with 10 difference of heat exchanger, and is that rib 74 has the rib with heat exchanger 10 Different constructions.All other element of heat exchanger 10 ' is identical with those of heat exchanger 10.These elements pass through identical Reference number identifies, and the above description of these similar elements combination heat exchangers 10 is equally applicable to heat exchanger 10 '.
The core plate 12,14,16 of heat exchanger 10 ' also includes a pair of of flowing limitation at the opposite end of heat transfer region 76 Rib 74.The rib 74 of heat exchanger 10 ' is " overall height " rib, it is meant that they, which have, is defined between its base portion 78 and top surface 80 Distance maximum height so that top surface 80 and the periphery flange 24 of core plate 12,14,16 are substantially coplanar.Therefore, work as core When plate 12,14,16 is assembled into flat tube 22, the top surface 80 of the rib 74 in a core plate 12,14,16 will with to form this flat The rib 74 of other core plates 12,14,16 of flat pipe 22 contacts, and can be soldered to be formed the flat tube 22 other core plates 12, 14th, 16 rib 74, as can be as can be seen from Figure 12.
Each rib 74 can be extended continuously between the periphery flange 24 at the opposite side of core plate 12,14,16, such as be handed in heat In parallel operation 10 or rib 74 can be interrupted by one or more gaps 82, in the height of one or more of 82 middle ribs 74 of gap It is decreased to zero less than its overall height or in the height of one or more of 82 middle ribs 74 of gap.In heat exchanger 10 ', each Rib 74 has two gaps 82 that the height of rib 74 is zero, i.e. rib is not formed in the region in gap 82, and gap 82 is therefore It is coplanar with the downside of projection portion 26.In the present embodiment, two gaps 82 are from the substantially phase spaced inward of periphery flange 24 Equivalent leaves center rib section 74a and two edge segments 74b and 74c.
As being shown in FIG. 15, the distribution of resulting fluid flowing concentrates on core plate 12,14,16 and flat tube In 22 central part, the region of wherein higher flowing is shown as lighter region.It can be seen from fig. 15 that the stream of cooling fluid It is dynamic to be diverted away from the edge there are bypass passageways 72 of fluid flowing passage 36, and flow through the turbulence excess in heat transfer region 76 Insertion piece 38 leads to the best heat transfer between heat-generating electronic part 44 and heat-transfer fluid.In addition, it is embedded in heat-generating electronic part 44 In one in IGBTs and/or diode 90 apparent position in fig. 14 by different size of in heat transfer region 76 Square indicates.It should be understood that regions that these square instruction " hot spot ", i.e. highers are generated heat, and therefore when will cool down When the flowing of fluid focuses on these hot spots, the flow distribution provided by the rib construction of heat exchanger 10 ' is advantageous.
Flowing in the presence of many other constructions that can be used for changing in a particular application flow distribution limits rib 74.Example Such as, Figure 17 and 18 shows the flat tube 22 being made of two identical core plates 12, wherein the stream at the opposite end of each core plate 12 The height of dynamic limitation rib 74 is different.In this respect, each core plate 12 in Figure 17 and 18 is set at the both ends of heat transfer region 76 There is " height reduces " rib 74, the wherein rib 74 (being identified as 74-1) of the at one end of heat transfer region 76 has the first height, and Rib 74 (being identified as 74-2) at the other end of heat transfer region 76 has the second height, and it is high that first height is more than described second Degree.
In the construction being shown in FIG. 17, higher rib 74-1 of the flat tube 22 in a core plate 12 and the core plate faced Higher rib 74-1 in 12 is assembled with respect in the case of so that small―gap suture 84 is located at the at one end of heat transfer region 76.And And the lower rib 74-2 in a core plate 12,14,16 is opposite with the lower rib 74-2 in the core plate 12,14,16 faced so that Wide arc gap 86 is located at the opposite end of heat transfer region 76.Whether it is located near import or outlet manifold 32,34, small―gap suture 84 can all lead to relatively high back pressure desired in some applications.
It is lower in the core plate 12,14,16 that faces that Figure 18 illustrates higher rib 74-1 in each core plate 12,14,16 Alternative constructions opposite rib 74-2, so that intermediate space 88 is arranged on heat transfer zone (i.e. more than gap 84 and less than gap 86) At the both ends in domain 76.Compared to the flattened tube configurations in Figure 17, this provides relatively low pressure drop.It should be understood that heat transfer region It is logical that the use of the flowing limitation rib 74 of different height at 76 opposite end will allow the different fluid of heat exchanger 10 to flow Some changeabilities of back pressure in road 36, while allow all core plates 12,14,16 all identical and/or all there is same structure Rib 74.In this respect, it can be selected in Figure 17 or 18 around vertical axis rotation simply by making one in core plate 12 Construction.
It should be understood that it is in other ways possible by the fluid flowing passage 36 of variable back pressure introducing heat exchanger 10. For example, rib 74 that height reduces or overall height can be arranged on the at one end of the heat transfer region 76 of each core plate 12,14,16, and There is no rib 74 to be arranged at opposite end.Figure 19-20 shows that each core plate 12 includes the flowing limitation that height reduces at one end Rib 74-1 (identical with the rib 74-1 in Figure 17-18) and the construction that limitation rib 74 is not flowed at opposite end.In this structure In making, the lower rib 74-2 of Figure 17-18 is completely eliminated so that each core plate 12 only have the import that can be positioned at core plate 12 or Single flowing limitation rib 74-1 at the port of export.The effect for eliminating lower rib 74-2 is that wide arc gap 86 (Figure 20) will be fluid stream The overall height of dynamic channel 36, and intermediate space 88 (Figure 19) will higher, this amount being higher by is equal to the lower rib 74-2's that disappears Highly.
Figure 21 illustrates the flattened tube configurations identical with the flattened tube configurations of Figure 19, and only rib 74-1 is that have and protruding portion The overall height rib of the coplanar top surface 80 of 66 top surface 70, top surface 70 and the periphery flange 24 of the protruding portion 66 Sealing surfaces (not being shown in FIG. 21) it is coplanar.The height of fluid flow gap 88 in Figure 21 is equal to fluid flowing passage The half of 36 maximum height.
It should be understood that the rib 74 in Figure 17-21 can be along the overall height of the multiple portions of its length and along its length Other parts reduction height.
Figure 22 to 24 shows the replacement rib pattern that can be used in heat exchanger 10 ' and resulting flowing point Cloth.In this respect, the three-member type flowing limitation rib 74 (including section 74a, 74b, 74c) of heat exchanger 10 ' can be by such as scheming The overall height two-piece flow limitation rib 74 shown in 22-24 replaces, including the overall height section separated by the gap 82 of centralized positioning 74a and 74b.Gap 82 extends throughout the overall height of fluid flowing passage 38, and flank section 74a, 74b is from the outer edge of plate 12,14,16 It extends internally, and the top 80 of flank section 74a, 74b for example by sealed with brazing is bonded together.Therefore, the rib of Figure 22 Structure causes all fluids to be diverted through the gap 82 of centralized positioning, causes such as flow distribution shown in dotted line in fig 23, It wherein allows fluid flow the intermediate region of plate 12,14,16, will include the region of turbulence excess insertion piece 38, avoid simultaneously By the edge of plate 12,14,16, the i.e. region of bypass passageways 72.It should be understood that in the embodiment of Figure 22-24, Ke Yicong Either end in heat transfer region eliminates one in rib 74.
