Definitions

  • the invention relates to a surface treatment method of a brazed evaporator made of aluminum or aluminum alloy, in particular for a refrigerant circuit in an air-conditioning installation of the passenger compartment of a vehicle.
  • an evaporator In vehicle air conditioning installations, an evaporator is swept by a flow of air to be cooled. Due to the low temperature of the surfaces of the evaporator exposed to the air flow, the moisture contained therein tends to be deposited on these surfaces, which entails various disadvantages. The water thus deposited reduces the air passage section and prevents direct contact between it and the metal surfaces of the evaporator, adversely affecting the heat exchange capacity. Drops of water are projected into the airflow. Dirt adheres to wet surfaces, promoting microbial growth and the production of unpleasant odors.
  • the step of covering the surfaces of treatment liquid is preceded by a preliminary surface conversion step intended to allow good adhesion of the film-forming layer, hydrophilic and antimicrobial. Conversion can be achieved by means of hexavalent chromium salts or zirconium or titanium compounds, or may be phosphating.
  • the invention aims in particular at a process of the kind defined in the introduction, and provides that said substances comprise one or more substances capable of conferring on said layer substrate adhesion properties and film-forming, anticorrosive and hydrophilic properties and one or more specific substances. imparting to said layer antimicrobial properties, the weight ratio between the substances capable of imparting adhesion properties and film-forming, anticorrosive and hydrophilic properties and the substances capable of conferring antimicrobial properties being less than or equal to 2/100, and said surfaces of the treatment liquid are covered without a prior surface conversion step.
  • the subject of the invention is also a brazed evaporator made of aluminum or aluminum alloy, in particular for a refrigerant circuit in an air-conditioning installation of the passenger compartment of a vehicle, for example obtained by the process as defined above.
  • the surfaces intended to come into contact with a medium to be cooled are coated with an adherent layer containing one or more substances giving the said layer substrate adhesion properties and film-forming, anticorrosive and hydrophilic properties and one or more a plurality of substances imparting to said layer antimicrobial properties, the weight ratio between the substances imparting adhesion properties and the film-forming, anti-corrosion and hydrophilic properties and the substances conferring antimicrobial properties being less than or equal to 2/100, and said surfaces being free of any surface conversion undercoat.
  • the treatment liquid contains polymers of the polyurethane, epoxy, silicone, acrylic, polyimine, polyamine and polyurea types, these can give the resulting layer substrate adhesion properties and / or film-forming and / or hydrophilic properties. according to their degree of crosslinking. More specifically, uncrosslinked polymers provide only adhesion properties, partially crosslinked polymers provide all three types of properties, and fully crosslinked polymers provide adhesion properties and film forming properties.
  • the process according to the invention is equally applicable to brazers in a controlled atmosphere and to evaporators brazed under vacuum.
  • the constituents of the treatment liquid can be used in the usual manner, that is to say in particular in the form of an aqueous solution, the immersion being followed by dewatering and drying in an oven.
  • the adhesion of the layer obtained by the process according to the invention not only dispenses with the preliminary step of surface conversion, but also from any prior step of degreasing or stripping if the state of the surfaces so permits.
