Definitions

  • Heat exchangers especially evaporators for one
  • the invention relates to a device for heat transfer and, in particular, to an evaporator, in particular for a vehicle air-conditioning system, with at least one header tank which has at least two header chambers.
  • a heat exchanger which has a collecting box made of sheet metal, which is formed from a prepared circuit board.
  • the collecting box is divided into two chambers in the longitudinal direction, the ends of two rows of flat tubes arranged one behind the other, through which the air to be cooled flows, are inserted into the bottom of the collecting box.
  • the collecting chambers have side walls, the adjacent side walls of the two collecting chambers being aligned parallel to one another and lying directly against one another and being soldered there to one another and to the floor in order to ensure the tightness of the collecting box.
  • a disadvantage of the heat exchangers known in the prior art is that relatively narrow manufacturing tolerances have to be observed in order to keep the rejects low.
  • a heat exchanger according to the present invention can be used in particular as an evaporator for a vehicle air conditioning system.
  • the heat exchanger comprises at least one collecting box with at least two collecting chambers, essentially each collecting chamber being essentially delimited by a bottom device and an upper part device.
  • the upper part device of a first collecting chamber comprises a first middle side wall
  • the upper part device of the second collecting chamber comprises a second middle side wall.
  • the first middle side wall is arranged at least over a section adjacent to the second middle side wall.
  • a lateral distance between the first middle side wall and the second middle side wall increases with the height above the floor device.
  • the collecting box has at least two collecting chambers, which are arranged next to one another over at least one section, makes it possible to provide a double-row evaporator, the air passing through the evaporator first on a first row of flat tubes and then on a second row of flat tubes passes by.
  • Each collecting chamber is delimited by the bottom device and by an upper part device, the term “upper part device” here being used to mean the delimitation of the collecting chamber above the bottom device.
  • the upper part device can comprise one or two side walls and a top wall or also a continuously curved (e.g. semicircular) wall or the like.
  • the collecting chambers are arranged next to one another and the "middle" side walls, that is to say the right side wall of the left collecting chambers and the left side wall of the right collecting chamber, increase their lateral distance from the floor device, a gap which increases from the floor device is achieved ,
  • “Middle” side walls here mean the side walls lying next to one another (also “contact side walls” since these are almost or possibly partially in contact with one another) of the first and second collecting chambers. Accordingly, the outer side walls in a two-chamber collection box are the side walls outside, that is to say the side walls, next to which no collection chamber is arranged. If a collection box has three collection chambers, both side walls are the Collection chambers in the middle so-called “middle” side walls, since another collection chamber is arranged adjacent to each.
  • a gap to be narrowed towards the base device favors the flux transport towards the inside when soldering to the base device, especially in the warm-up phase.
  • conventional, that is to say parallel, side walls the distance between the parallel walls must be observed very precisely, since the distance influences the capillary action.
  • the manufacturing tolerances to be complied with are smaller, since the distance of the gap changes continuously over the height and thus, even with less precise manufacturing tolerances at a suitable distance, there is a gap size which has a positive capillary effect.
  • the more favorable manufacturing tolerances can lower the costs for the manufacturing process, which also results in a lower reject rate.
  • the reject rate can be selected to be low, or the reject rate is somewhat higher than a possible minimum, although the manufacturing costs decrease overall due to the more favorable manufacturing tolerances.
  • the lateral distance between the first and the second middle side wall or the contact side walls is essentially V-shaped.
  • a continuous and strictly monotonously increasing distance curve is advantageous, since this always results in a suitable lateral distance, regardless of the manufacturing tolerances.
  • at least one stability device or a distribution device is arranged on at least one side wall.
  • a stability device increases stability.
  • a distribution or a stability device can be provided on a central or also on an outer side wall.
  • one or more distribution or stability devices can be arranged both on one or both middle side walls and / or on one or more outer side walls.

  • the depression device can be a depression in the outer surface of a side wall of a collecting chamber, which extends, for example, from the floor device to a certain height above the floor device.
  • the deepening device can, for example, be V-shaped or U-shaped, the width of the U, ie the width between the legs of the U, being many times greater than the depth of the U.
  • ratios of well width to well height of 1:10 to 100: 1 are possible, the range being preferably from about 1: 5 to 80: 1.
  • a ratio in the range of 1: 1 is preferred, while in particular in the case of groove-like recesses, considerably larger values are also possible.
  • Manufacturing methods manufactured deepening devices or stability devices in general increase the stability in the lateral direction of the side walls and thus the collecting chambers as a whole.
  • Distributors facilitate the distribution of the flux and solder.
  • Recessing devices on the outer sides of the central side walls or the contact walls are advantageous, since this ensures that a capillary gap is formed between the side walls or legs of the collecting chambers, which can also be formed over a large area, depending on the width of the depression device.
  • Capillary gaps of this type that is to say both narrow and large areas, promote the flux transport when soldering, so that a reliable solder connection between the side walls and the base device can be achieved.
  • the height of the depressions can be between approximately 0.05 and 0.4 mm, the width in the range between 0.05 mm and 8 or 10 mm or even more. It should be pointed out here that these figures refer only to one specific example. With such and also with other flat tube evaporators or evaporators in general, both smaller and larger dimensions are possible.

It is also possible that all stability devices are only provided on a central side wall or on a collecting chamber.
  • a depth of a distribution or stability device increases with the distance from the floor device.
  • the depth that is to say the vertical distance from the outer dimension of the stability device to the side surface, in the vicinity of the floor device can be one third of the maximum depth.

  • the bottom device can be prepared in such a way that it has the desired dimensions or also the required openings or recesses for the connection to the side or top part devices.
