Definitions
- the present invention relates to an air conditioning system, in particular for motor vehicles.
- the invention relates to a condenser of the type defined in the preamble of the Claim.
- the working conditions of a condenser may be rather harsh, especially in terms of operating temperature and pressure.
- the internal pressure of the tubes, on the Freon side reaches values of more than 25 bar and temperatures of more than 120°C; when pressures of this type reach values of more than 27 - 28 bar, proposed protective systems provide for the uncoupling of the compressor from the mechanical drive and thus switch off the air conditioning system.
- the heat exchanger network In expanded or mechanically assembled condensers, the heat exchanger network consists of round tubes, made of copper or aluminium, and of flat fins generally made of aluminium and, more rarely, of copper.
- the tubes are inserted in the holes in the fins and are successively deformed plastically by means of a suitable expansion tool which increases the diameter of the tubes, such that the initial play between the tubes and the holes in the fin is taken up.
- a radial interference between the tubes and fins of the order of 0.1 - 0.2 mm is obtained.
- the final expansion of the tube is considered to be correct when, in addition to the plastic deformation of the tube, elastic deformation of the fins is obtained, such that stable and efficient contact between the two parts is ensured.
- the characteristic components of this construction process are:
- Braze-welded condensers are generally formed of flat tubes with internal fins made of extruded aluminium.
- the internal fins of the tube have a structural function, that is, they prevent the collapse of the tube when subjected to high pressures.
- the tube is folded in a serpentine configuration and corrugated or ondulated fins are inserted between each pair of adjacent limbs of the tube.
- a special aluminium alloy which melts at a temperature which is slightly lower than the melting temperature of the aluminium parts to be connected, welds the parts placed in contact without effectively melting them.
- the process employs a material which enables the film of aluminium oxide, which forms and would otherwise hinder the final welding of the parts, to be destroyed.
- the temperatures used and the furnace timing, together with the cleanness of the surfaces of the parts to be welded must be controlled. This process is therefore characterised by:
- the two techniques for producing condensers have very different features and costs; the technique is selected on the basis of the bulk, the performance and the costs of the final product.
- the main restriction of current mechanically expanded condensers is their performance: their heat exchange performance is limited and they have a high pressure drop on the air side. When these aspects become predominant, it is then necessary to use braze-welded condensers which, even though they may be as much as 50% more expensive, enable the required level of performance to be attained with less bulk.
- oval and flat tubes assembled with flat fins in accordance with the mechanical expansion or enlarging technique has already been proposed.
- the use of oval tubes according to the mechanical expansion assembly technique has enabled a technique of this type to be reintroduced with remarkable results in terms of overall performance and costs.
- this has only occurred with the change from the oval - round shape with a ratio which is less than 2.5 between the largest dimensions and the smallest dimensions of the cross-section of the tube to an oval - flat shape with a ratio which is equal to or greater than 2.5 between the largest dimensions and the smallest dimensions.
- oval - flat tubes With a ratio of more than 2.5 between the maximum and minimum dimensions of the tube cross-section that the change in generations enabling expanded radiators to compete with braze-welded radiators in all respects was attained.
- the oval - flat tube permits a greater development of the surface area for the exchange of heat on the tube side, together with the drop in pressure on the air side, bringing it very close to the geometry of braze-welded radiators, in which the tubes are effectively flat.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a condenser produced according to the technique in which tubes are mechanically expanded, having improved performances and dimensions ultimately comparable to those of a braze-welded condenser.
- the ends of the tubes 14 projecting from the exterior of the pack of fins 16 are welded to distributors designated 18, 20, 22 and 24.
- Figure 2 shows the distribution of the flow of refrigerant fluid inside the tubes 14.
- the fluid in the vapour state enters the distributor 18, passes through a first group of tubes and reaches the second distributor 20 to which the tubes of a second group lead through which a flow of refrigerant fluid passes in the opposite direction to the first.
- the flow of fluid reaches the third distributor 22 and from there it passes, by means of a third group of tubes, to an outlet distributor 24 from which refrigerant fluid in the liquid state is drawn.
- the number of tubes in the above-mentioned three groups decreases progressively so as to take account of the reduction in volume of the refrigerant fluid as it passes from the vapour state to the liquid state.
- the condenser according to the present invention is provided with tubas with cross-sections having an elongate oval shape. There are two possibilities for the securing of the oval tubes to the distributors 18 - 24:
- a plate which is approximately 1 mm thick, which covers the final fin, and which is inserted before the fin pack / tube-expansion process, can be used to restrict the force on the outermost fins.
- This plate can also be used to protect the external fins when the tubes are welded directly to the distributors using a flame.
- the dimensional parameters critical for the dimensioning of the condenser according to the invention are the ratios b/a, b/s and p/t.
- the parameter b/a expresses the ratio between the axes of the oval tube and provides information with respect to the geometry of the tube as it moves away from the circular shape.
- the parameter b/s relates the major axis of the tube to its thickness, expressing the rigidity of the tube.
- the parameter p/t expresses the ratio between the distance between the fins and their thickness. This value stresses the fundamental contribution the fins make to the structure of the condenser for withstanding the considerable pressures coming into play.
- the tube / fin structure can withstand the extreme pressure and temperature conditions on the fluid side without undergoing permanent deformation.
- a novel condenser is designed, of the type which is mechanically expanded and has oval tubes which have a flattened profile and are arranged in a single row, and has the following dimensions:
- the choice of producing the single-now condenser is due to the need to reduce as far as possible the drop in pressure on the air side and thus to the need to reduce the thickness of the condenser on the air side.
