Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a heat exchanger and a method of manufacture thereof, and in particular to a hear exchanger for use in a vehicle.
- Heat exchangers are used in vehicles to cool engine coolant, to cool charge air and to heat and/or cool refrigerant in a vehicle air conditioning system. The present invention has particular application to heat exchangers which are suitable for use as gas coolers or evaporators wherein a supercritical refrigerant, such as CO2, is used. Carbon dioxide refrigerant is being considered as a replacement refrigerant for use by the automotive industry for air conditioning, as well as in other applications, mainly due to the low toxicity of such refrigerant. However, carbon dioxide based systems have many challenges resulting from the fact that such systems operates in transcritical mode leading to high pressures and high compressor out temperatures. When CO2 is used as refrigerant, very high pressures in the range of up to more than 130 bar have to be produced. The pressure loading on individual components of an air-conditioning system therefore rises significantly.
- The present invention relates to a heat exchanger, of the type shown in
NL-C1-1014832 - In a desire to improve efficiency, it is common to provide heat exchangers having a number of side by side tubes arranged across the width of the heat exchanger to provide a cross flow arrangement whereby a refrigerant or coolant can make several passes between the manifolds across the width of the core of the heat exchanger through adjacent side by side tubes in each row. Where separate tubes are used for each pass in a row, each tube needs to be inserted into a corresponding slot in each manifold. The slots are usually lanced into the manifold, forming localised deformation around the slot, in order to accommodate such deformation and provide sufficient strength and room for brazing, it is necessary to leave gap of at least 2 to 6mm between adjacent side by side tubes. This gap comprises wasted space and leads to a non-optimum overall heat exchanger core depth.
- According to the present invention there is provided a heat exchanger comprising a cooling core consisting of a plurality of heat exchanging tubes arranged in parallel rows extending between a pair of manifolds provided with slots, where the ends of said heat exchanging tubes are inserted into said slots to be in fluid communication with each manifold, each row including at least two coplanar tubes arranged side by side for providing a cross flow arrangement, wherein an end region of a first tube in each row is offset orthogonally to the normal direction of flow of fluids through the cooling core in a first direction and an end region of a second tube in the same row is offset orthogonally to the normal direction of flow of fluids through the cooling core in a second direction, opposite to said first direction, such that the respective slots for receiving the ends of said first and second tubes are axially offset with respect to one another whereby the first and second tubes in each row can be located in abutting contact with one another.
- Therefore the present invention solves the problem associated with the prior art by enabling the slots for receiving adjacent tubes to be axially offset from one another in overlapping manner, permitting the tubes in each row to be arranged in close abutting relationship, thus avoiding wasted space and optimising the depth of the heat exchanger core.
- Preferably the orthogonal offset of each tube end region is such that the axial distance between adjacent manifold slots is substantially equal to half the spacing between adjacent rows of tubes.
- Preferably the interior of each manifold is divided by means of at least one axially extending dividing wall extending between the ends of the adjacent tubes in each row, a side of the dividing wall adjacent the tube ends being serpentine in shape to fit between said respective slots.
- Preferably fins are provided between the rows of tubes, the fins between each pair of adjacent rows each comprising a plate formed into a zigzag or wave-like configuration to extend between the respective adjacent rows of tubes. Preferably end regions of each plate are split into a first section extending between respective first tubes of the respective adjacent rows and a second section extending between respective second tubes of the respective adjacent rows.
- According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of making a heat exchanger comprising providing a plurality of heat exchanging tubes arranged in parallel rows, providing a pair of manifolds having a plurality of tube receiving slots formed therein, inserting the ends of said heat exchanging tubes into said slots to be in fluid connection with each manifold, each row including at least two tubes arranged side by side for providing a cross flow arrangement, wherein an end region of a first tube in each row is offset orthogonally to the normal direction of flow of fluids through the cooling core in a first direction and an end region of a second tube in the same row is offset orthogonally to the normal direction of flow of fluids through the cooling core in a second direction, opposite to said first direction, such that the respective slots for receiving the ends of said first and second tubes are axially offset with respect to one another whereby the first and second tubes in each row can be located in abutting contact with one another.
