Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an automotive heat exchanger, and in particular to an automotive heat exchanger comprising mating plates defining tubes for a fluid medium.
  • an automotive heat exchanger comprising respective flowpath arrays for a first fluid medium and a second fluid medium comprising air; a series of tubes for the first fluid medium comprising joined mating plates, the tubes having opposed open ends and a flow path extending between the open ends, adjacent tubes having spaced external surface portions defining the flowpath array for the air fluid medium.
  • the flowpath arrays are configured to direct the flow of the first fluid medium and a second fluid medium comprising air in mutually transverse (preferably substantially perpendicular) directions.
  • one or both plates include internally projecting formations arranged to form contact zones internally of the tube.
  • both plates preferably include internally projected formations, the internally projected formations contacting one or other internally of the tube.
  • the internally projecting formations serve to strengthen the construction and also provide turbulation for the fluid medium flowing internally of the tubes.
  • the internally projecting formations comprise dimples, preferably arranged in transverse rows, beneficially a plurality of rows being spaced along the length of the tube.
  • One or both plates defining the respective tube preferably include externally projecting formations arranged to form contact zones with adjacent tubes, the contact zones being externally of the respective tubes defining the flowpath array for the air medium.
  • Beneficially adjacent plates of adjacent spaced tubes comprise correspondingly co-aligned externally projecting formations arranged to contact one another.
  • the externally projecting formations comprise elongate ridges extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the tubes, a series of substantially parallel ridges preferably being spaced in the longitudinal direction of the tubes.
  • the internally and externally projecting formations ensure that the heat exchanger can be built up as a stack of plates prior to fusion bonding; accurate spacing of the plates for the tubes and inter-tube airways is ensured by the internally and externally projecting formations.
  • the plates comprising respective tubes have overlapping marginal portions, and spanning portions extending between the marginal portions.
  • the marginal portions extend substantially perpendicularly to the respective spanning portions.
  • the tubes in the region of the open ends, comprise relatively wider open mouth portions leading to a relatively narrower tube width extending in the region between the open ends of the tube.
  • the width of the tube is in the direction of the stacked array of tubes in the heat exchanger.
  • the relatively wider open mouth portions preferably taper to the narrower tube width dimension in the region extending between the open ends of the tube.
  • Beneficially adjacent tubes contact one another in the region of the relatively wider open mouth portions.
  • the wider open mouth portions may be bonded (for example brazed) to the contact portions of mouth portions of adjacent stacked tubes. This enables, where preferred, the formed tube plates provided for conventional header tanks to be dispensed with. This has constructional benefits.
  • the plates comprising the tube are of aluminium material.
  • the plates comprising the tubes preferably have an aluminium core alloy of relatively high strength, and an external cladding material of aluminium brazing alloy. This arrangement is highly beneficial in that it enables the construction to be assembled from the plates built up one adjacent another and subsequently brazed in a single shot brazing operation. A good brazed join and seal is effected at the contact zones between the externally and internally projecting formations and also along the overlapping lengths of the marginal portions comprising the respective plates.
  • the first medium may also comprise air. This enables the construction to be used for a charge air cooler for air subsequently to be directed to a turbocharger arrangement.
  • the arrangement may be used as an automotive radiator in which the first fluid medium will typically comprise liquid engine coolant (water).
  • the heat exchanger may comprise an automotive condenser for a vehicle air conditioning system, in which the first fluid medium will comprise a refrigerant.
  • the arrangement provides an alternative to conventional constructions of heat exchanger which usually include tube-internal turbulators and external tube airway matrix fins.
  • the internal projecting formations provide turbulation; the external tube formations provide strength and air flow direction.
  • the arrangement enables relatively thin gauge aluminium plate material to be utilised such as gauges less than .3mm. Relatively low spacing between the tubes less than or equal to 2mm may also be achieved.
  • the arrangement can also be utilised for combined, automotive radiators and condensers such as those referred to as unified condenser radiators. These terms are well known in the art.
  • the arrangement of the present invention provides more compact heat exchanger units compared to prior art arrangements whilst still having comparable efficiency. Additionally, header tanks are not required to have aperture formed tube plates (as described above).
  • the length of pass of the first fluid material through the automotive heat exchanger is substantially greater than the length of flow of the air through the heat exchanger in the transverse direction.
  • the length of passage of the first fluid medium is five times more (or more preferably ten times more) than the length or passage of the second media comprising air through the heat exchanger.
  • Figure 1 shows a charge air cooler (generally designated 1) formed in accordance with the invention by joining mating plates to define tubes 2 extending in a longitudinal direction A.
  • the tubes are spaced as will be explained hereinafter to define inter-tube airways 3.
  • the arrangement is such that a first heat transfer medium travels through tubes 2 in the direction of arrow A.
  • the second air flow medium flows through inter-tube airways 3 in the direction of arrow B (the direction of arrow B is perpendicular to the direction of arrow A).
  • both the first and second fluid medium are arc, for other embodiments the first medium may comprise liquid, vapour or a liquid/vapour mix.
  • the second fluid medium will always be gas (air).
  • each heat exchange tube 2 comprises a pair of mating plates 4,5 which are substantially identical although inverted relative one another to form a respective tube.
  • each plate 4,5 comprises a core 6 of high strength aluminium alloy and an external surface cladding 7 of aluminium brazing alloy (for example an Al-Si alloy).
  • An internal corrosion resistant cladding layer 8 may also be provided. In certain circumstances brazing alloy layer 7 and corrosion resistant layer 8 may be reversed.
  • the plates 4,5 include respective spanning portions 4a,5a and respective marginal portions 4b,5b, 4c,5c extending transversely to the spanning portions 4a,5a. Respective marginal portions 4b,5b, 4c,5c overlap and, subsequent to brazing, form a sealed brazed joint along the marginal lengths of tube 2.
  • Each tube 2 comprises a series of spaced rows of pressed dimples 9 projecting internally into the interior of the tube.
  • the inwardly projecting dimples 9 on adjacent mating plates 4,5 are co-aligned to contact and abut one another internally of the respective tube 2. This is shown most clearly in Figure 8.
  • each plate 4,5 includes a series of outwardly projecting ridge formations 10 extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the tube 2.
  • the ridge formations 10 provided on adjacent plates defining adjacent tubes 2 are co-aligned to abut one another and provide rigidity and accurate spacing between the respective tubes 2 (to define the airway depth/spacing).
  • the spacing between ridges 10 in the longitudinal direction of the tubes 2 can be varied to achieve the required Reynolds number for the theoretical fluid flow for the relevant application of the particular heat exchanger. This will vary between different applications (such as for condensers, radiators, charge air coolers) dependent upon the different fluids flowing through the relevant tube 2 airway with respect to the air flowing transversely in the inter-tube airways.
  • the ridges 10 are provided with respective proud standing super-ridges 10a and recesses 10c such that when adjacent plates 4,5 in adjacent tubes 2 are stacked (and the relevant plates inverted) super-ridges 10a mate with recesses 10c.
  • Respective plates 4,5 are also provided with relatively wider mouth portions (dimension H) and relatively narrower tube length portions (dimension h) (see Figure 2). This is achieved by respective tapering portions 4d,5d at the margins of the plates 4,5. This enables adjacent tubes to be brazed to one another at an interface X (see Figure 8). A conventional header tank tube plate may therefore not be required.
  • the arrangement provided has numerous applications and is believed to be applicable for automotive heat exchangers such as charge air coolers (as shown in Figure 1), radiator assemblies (as shown in Figures 9 to 11), condenser assemblies (as shown in Figures 12 to 14) and unified or combined condenser and radiator assemblies (as shown in Figures 15 to 17).
  • charge air coolers as shown in Figure 1
  • radiator assemblies as shown in Figures 9 to 11
  • condenser assemblies as shown in Figures 12 to 14
  • unified or combined condenser and radiator assemblies as shown in Figures 15 to 17.
