Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plate heat exchanger, particularly but not exclusively useful for condensing and evaporating refrigerating fluids.
  • plate heat exchangers are devices used to transfer heat energy from one fluid to another and are constituted by a plurality of mutually facing metal plates shaped so as to form, in the spaces between two adjacent plates, a corresponding plurality of passage circuits for the fluids.
  • the plates are usually rectangular, are commonly obtained by pressing and have appropriate corrugations, substantially in the central region, and generally have four openings at their corners.
  • the corrugations are designed to stiffen the plates and to improve heat exchange, while the openings are designed to provide the ducts for the distribution and recovery of the fluids.
  • the plates are sealed at their perimeter and at their input and output ducts by means of gaskets or by welding and/or braze welding, so as to prevent the escape of the fluids from the respective ducts and from the circuits formed between the facing plates.
  • Operation of plate heat exchangers consists in producing the alternating flow, in the passage circuits, of a refrigerating fluid, which evaporates or condenses, and of a heat transfer fluid, which becomes cooler or warmer.
  • EP-1094291 discloses a plate heat exchanger having a combination of features as set forth in the pre-characterizing portion of the appended claim 1.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a plate heat exchanger with improved performance with respect to exchangers currently in use while maintaining a low production cost and achieving high reliability and durability.
  • the plate heat exchanger generally designated by the reference numeral 1, comprises a plurality of mutually facing plates 2 and generally at least two ducts, an input duct 3a and an output duct 3b, for a respective fluid.
  • the plates 2 are coupled hermetically to each other at a substantially peripheral portion 4 and at the ducts 3 a and 3b by braze welding.
  • Each plate 2 has, as shown more clearly in Figure 2 , a main corrugation arranged in a herringbone pattern, which is adapted to increase and facilitate the exchange of heat among passage circuits formed between two adjacent plates 2.
  • At least one of the plates 2 has at least one face that comprises at least one uneven portion 5.
  • Said portion 5 is uneven thanks to the presence of microengravings and/or microgrooves and/or microindentations.
  • each plate 2 has at least one completely uneven face.
  • the adjacent plates 2 are assembled so that their completely or partially uneven faces form at least the ducts for the refrigerating fluid.
  • the uneven portion 5 of the plates 2 is obtained by laser alteration.
  • microengravings and/or microgrooves and/or microindentations on the exchange surface in fact increases the area of the exchange surface, increases the turbulence of the fluid in contact with the exchange surface, facilitates the drainage of the liquid along the exchange surface in condensation processes and bubble nucleation the evaporation processes.
  • the materials used may be any according to requirements.
