- a cooling loss engine cooling water of 30%
- exhaust gas loss exhaust gas of 30%
- CO 2 reduction has been becoming strict, and fuel efficiency requirements have been being tightened. Therefore, many automobile companies work on reduction of the exhaust gas loss, for example, exhaust heat recovery technology as a measure for reducing the energy loss to improve automobile gas mileage.

- Patent Document 5 discloses an exhaust gas heat exchanger which is miniaturized and which can suppress costs with a structure capable of easy installation.
- Each of the Patent Documents 1 and 2 shows a structure where a heated fluid flows thereinto from the flow passages having a slit structure and where a medium to be heated flows thereinto from honeycomb structured flow passages to reduce the influence of a pressure loss of the heated fluid.
- the structure does not have good efficiency regarding the heat exchange.
- the Patent Document 3 shows a structure where a heat exchange passage for water cooling is disposed in the periphery of a heat exchange passage for exhaust gas, it is more difficult to exchange heat in the central portion of the exhaust gas flow passages, and the heat exchange rate is low as a whole.
- the structure is constituted of an evaporation portion (first heat exchange portion), a heat-transfer fin, and a condensation portion (second heat exchange portion).
- first heat exchange portion first heat exchange portion
- second heat exchange portion a condensation portion
- the present invention aims to provide a heat exchanger having high heat exchange efficiency in comparison with conventional heat exchange elements, heat exchangers, and the like and realizing miniaturization, weight saving, and cost reduction and a production method thereof.
- the present inventors found out that the aforementioned problems can be solved by a ceramics heat exchanger provided with a heat exchange element where the first fluid circulation portions for allowing a heated medium as the first fluid to circulate and the second fluid circulation portions for transferring heat to a medium to be heated as the second fluid are alternately formed as a unit.

- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a heat exchange element 1 with which a ceramics heat exchanger 10 of the present invention is provided.
- the first fluid circulation portions 5 high temperature side
- the second fluid circulation portions 6 lower temperature side
- porous partition walls 4 extending through in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction, allowing the second fluid to be circulated, and transferring heat to a medium to be heated as the second fluid

- Making the cells 3 on the first fluid circulation portion 5 side smaller than the cells 3 on the second fluid circulation portion 6 side is superior to making it larger in terms of heat exchange efficiency. This is because heat can be transferred to the partition walls 4 more easily when the cells 3 for the first fluid (high temperature side) are small, and the size relation of the cells 3 serves as an important element for heat transfer. That is, by constituting the cells 3 on the first fluid circulation portion 5 side to be smaller than those on the second fluid circulation portion 6 side, heat exchange efficiency can be improved.
- Each of the first fluid circulation portions 5 preferably has a honeycomb structure having a plurality of cells 3 separated by ceramic partition walls 4 and extending through in the axial direction.
- each of the second fluid circulation portions 6 has a slit structure having no separating partition wall 4 (partition wall 14 between slits (see Fig. 3B )) or having small number of (1 to 50 ) separating partition walls.
- the second fluid circulation portion 6 is isolated from the first fluid circulation portion 5 by a partition wall 4 to be able to transferring heat, and the second fluid circulates in it and receives heat of the first fluid circulating in the first fluid circulation portions 5 by means of the partition walls 4, thereby heat is transferred to the circulating medium to be heated, which is the second fluid.
- the heat exchange element 1 of the present invention is constituted by segments each having the first fluid circulation portion 5 (high temperature side) of a honeycomb structure where the first fluid (heated medium) circulates and the second fluid circulation portion 6 (low temperature side) where the second fluid (medium to be heated) for transferring heat circulates are formed.

- the wall thickness is smaller than 50 ⁇ m, the mechanical strength is decreased, and breakage may be caused by an impact or thermal stress.
- the rate of the cell capacity on the honeycomb structure side is lowered, and a defect of deterioration in heat exchange rate of permeation of a heating medium may be caused.
- Fig. 2A is a view from an end face 2 in the axial direction of a segment, which is a heat exchange element 1 of an embodiment.
- the heat exchange element 1 has a plurality of cells 3 partitioned by ceramic partition walls 4 and functioning as fluid passages, and an end face 2 on one side in the axial direction is plugged in every other line.
- the same cells 3 as in the end face 2 on the one side are plugged in the same manner as Fig. 2A .
- partition walls 4 isolating the plugged cells 3 from one another are removed to form a slit shape (see Fig. 3A ). That is, in the second fluid circulation portion 6, the end faces 2 in the axial direction are plugged with a plugging material to form plugged portions 13.
- Fig. 2B is a view from an end face 2 on one side in the axial direction of a heat exchange element 1 of another embodiment.
- the heat exchange element 1 has a plurality of cells 3 partitioned by ceramic partition walls 4 and functioning as fluid passages, and an end face 2 on one side in the axial direction is plugged in every other line.
- the same cells 3 as in the end face 2 on the one side are plugged in the same manner as Fig. 2A .
- partition walls 4 isolating the plugged cells 3 from one another are removed to form a slit shape (see Fig. 3A ).
- the unplugged line is formed to have a honeycomb structure where at least one partition wall 4 is present.
- the constitution as in Fig. 2B is effective for a segment having a long flow passage because pressure loss of a fluid is smaller. That is, a large amount of the first fluid can be allowed to flow.
- Fig. 3A show an embodiment viewed from the outer peripheral wall 7 side where slits are formed.
- slits extending through from one end face 12 in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the outer peripheral wall 7 to the other end face 12 are formed, and the slits function as the second fluid circulation portions 6.
- Each of the slits is formed by removing the partition walls 4 of the cells 3 plugged in one end face 2 and the other end face 2 in the axial direction. That is, the slits are formed in the same direction as the direction of the cell lines of the plugged cells 3.
- the cells 3 unplugged in the end faces 2 are in the state that the partition walls 4 are formed as shown in Fig. 2A .
- Fig. 2B there may be employed a constitution where the outer peripheral wall 7 is left and where the partition walls 4 isolating the unplugged cells 3 from one another are removed.
- Fig. 3B shows another embodiment viewed from the outer peripheral wall 7 side where slits are formed.
- the heat exchange element 1 in the heat exchange element 1, slits extending through from one end face 12 in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the outer peripheral wall 7 to the other end face 12 are formed, and an inter-slit partition wall 14 separating the slits is formed in the center in the axial direction.
- the inside of the inter-slit partition wall 14 has a shape where partition walls of the cells 3 remain. This makes the structure of the heat exchange element 1 itself strong. Therefore, the heat exchange element 1 hardly breaks. When the slits are long, strength is reduced, and breakage may be caused.
- inter-slit partition wall 14 in other words, by leaving the cell wall faces, increase in strength can be planned.
- the slits are formed by removing the partition walls 4 of the cells 3 plugged in one end face 2 on one side and the other end face 2 on the other side in the axial direction, and the cells 3 unplugged in the end faces 2 are as shown in Figs. 2A and 2B like the aforementioned embodiment.
- the segment which is a heat exchange element 1
- the segment employs ceramics excellent in thermal resistance, in particular, silicon carbide in consideration of conductivity.
- the entire segment of the heat exchange element 1 is constituted of silicon carbide as long as silicon carbide is contained in the main body. That is, it is preferable that the heat exchange element 1 of the present invention is of conductive ceramics containing silicon carbide.
- the thermal conductivity at room temperature is preferably 10 W/mK or high, and 300 W/mK or low. However, it is not limited to the range. It is possible to use a corrosion resistant metal material such as a Fe-Cr-Al base alloy in place of the conductive ceramics.
- the density of the partition walls 4 of the cells 3 of the heat exchange element 1 is preferably 0.5 to 5 g/cm 3 . In the case that it is below 0.5 g/cm 3 , the partition walls 4 have insufficient strength and may break due to pressure when the first fluid passes through the flow passages. In addition, when it is above 5 g/cm 3 , the heat exchange element 1 itself becomes heavy, and the characteristic of weight saving may be impaired. By the density in the aforementioned range, the heat exchange element 1 can be made strong. In addition, the effect in improving the thermal conductivity can be obtained.
- the heat exchange element 1 of a ceramics heat exchanger 10 of the present invention may obtain high heat exchange rate
- a material containing silicon carbide having high thermal conductivity since high thermal conductivity cannot be obtained in the case of a porous body even by silicon carbide, it is more preferable to obtain a dense body structure by impregnating the segment as the heat exchange element 1 with silicon in the process of producing the segment.
- the dense body structure high thermal conductivity can be obtained.
- the dense body of silicon carbide it is about 20 W/mK.
- the dense body it can be made about 150 W/mK.
- Si-impregnated SiC, Si 3 N 4 , SiC, or the like may be employed as the ceramic material, it is particularly desirable to employ Si-impregnated SiC in order to obtain a dense body structure for obtaining high heat exchange rate. Since the Si-impregnated SiC has a structure where a coagulation of metal silicon melt surrounds the surfaces of the SiC particles and where SiC particles are unitarily bonded together by means of metal silicon, silicon carbide is blocked from the atmosphere containing oxygen to be inhibited from being oxidized. Further, though SiC has the characteristics of high thermal conductivity and easy heat release, Si-impregnated SiC is formed densely with showing high thermal conductivity and heat resistance and shows sufficient strength as a heat transfer member.
- the heat exchange element 1 of a Si-SiC based (Si-impregnated SiC) material shows high thermal conductivity as well as properties excellent in corrosion resistance against acid and alkali besides thermal resistance, thermal shock resistance, and oxidation resistance.
- the heat exchange element 1 contains a Si-impregnated SiC composite material as the main component
- the bonding material becomes insufficient. Therefore, bonding of adjacent SiC particles by the Si phase becomes insufficient to lower the thermal conductivity and to have a difficulty in obtaining strength capable of maintaining the thin wall structure such as a honeycomb structure.
- the Si content is preferably 5 to 50 mass%, more preferably 10 to 40 mass%.
- pores are filled with metal silicon, and there is a case that the porosity is 0 or nearly 0. It is excellent in oxidation resistance and durability and can be used for a long period of time in a high temperature atmosphere. Once it is oxidized, since an oxidation protection film is formed, oxidation deterioration is not caused. In addition, since it has high strength from ordinary temperature to high temperature, a thin and light weight structure can be formed. Further, it has high thermal conductivity which is about the same as that of copper or aluminum metal, high far-infrared emissivity, and electrical conductivity, thereby hardly having static electricity.
- the first fluid (high temperature side) allowed to circulate in a ceramics heat exchanger 10 of the present invention is exhaust gas

These may be metals, oxides, and other compounds.

- the mask of the heat exchange element 1 is peeled off.
- a ceramics heat exchanger 10 of the present invention may have a structure where a plurality of segments functioning as heat exchange elements 1 are bonded together with a bonding material layer 8 of heat resistant cement.
- a large size can be obtained by modularization by bonding segments functioning as the heat exchange elements 1 of the present invention.
- the segments are bonded by the use of heat resistant cement.
- the heat resistant cement plays a role of an adhesive and is applied to the periphery of the face where the inflow port and the outflow port of the second inflow circulation portion 6 are formed of the outer peripheral walls 7 of the segments to bond segments together. In this case, the bonding material is applied lest the second fluid circulation portion 6 should be closed by the heat resistant cement.

- the heat exchanger 10 By allowing the heat exchanger 10 to have a structure where the directions, positions, and the like of partition walls 4 of a plurality of the heat exchange elements 1 are offset, the flow of the fluid can be disarranged at the sites where the positions of the walls are offset, and boundary film thickness can be reduced to raise the heat transfer coefficient between the first fluid and the wall faces of the partition walls.
- Fig. 15 shows an embodiment of a heat exchanger 10 having a constitution where a plurality of heat exchange elements 1 are disposed in series in the direction where the first fluid flows and where the cell density of the rear part (downstream side) heat exchange element 1 is higher than that of the front part (upstream side) heat exchange element 1.
- cells 3 are plugged similarly to the case of, for example, Fig. 2A with each circulation portion being formed.

- the embodiment has a constitution where two regions of the inside (center side) and the outer periphery side in a peripheral direction are formed and where the cell density of the front part (upstream) heat exchange element 1 is high in the inside and low in the outer periphery side while the cell density of the rear part (downstream) heat exchange element 1 is low in the inside and high in the outer periphery side.
- boundary film thickness can be reduced to raise the heat transfer coefficient between the first fluid and the wall faces of the partition walls 4.
- the number of regions having different cell densities is not limited to two and may be three or more.
- Fig. 17A shows an embodiment of a heat exchanger 10 where a plurality of heat exchange elements 1 each having regions partially including plugged portions 13 and having different cell density distributions formed therein are disposed in series in the direction where the first fluid flows.
- Fig. 17B is a decomposition perspective view of the embodiment of Fig. 17A .
- cells 3 in each region are plugged similarly to, for example, the case of Fig. 2A with each circulation portion being formed.
- two semicircular regions are formed, and, upon disposing honeycomb structures as the heat exchange elements 1 in series, the cell density distributions are changed between the left and the right (or the top and the bottom) of the front part (upstream) and rear part (downstream) honeycomb structures.
- the embodiment has a constitution where the cell density of the front part heat exchange element 1 is high on one side (right side in the figure) and low in the other side (left side in the figure), and the cell density of the rear part heat exchange element 1 is high on the other side (left side in the figure) and low in the one side (right side in the figure). That is, since the cell density in the corresponding portions is different between the front part heat exchange element and the rear part heat exchange element, in other words, because of a cell structure where the cell density distribution is changed between the front part one and the rear part one, the fluid flow can be disarranged, and boundary film thickness can be reduced to raise the heat transfer coefficient between the first fluid and the wall faces of the partition walls 4. As shown in Fig.
- a heat exchange element 1 having a honeycomb structure where quadrangular two regions are formed.
- the fluid flow can be disarranged, and the heat transfer coefficient can be raised.
- Fig. 18A shows an embodiment of a heat exchanger 10 having a constitution where a plurality of heat exchange elements 1 are disposed in series in the direction where the first fluid flows and where the flow passages of the first fluid are changed between the front part one and the rear part one.
- a plurality of heat exchange elements 1 are disposed in series in the direction where the first fluid flows and where the flow passages of the first fluid are changed between the front part one and the rear part one.
- two regions of the inside (center side) and the outer periphery side are formed in a peripheral direction, the front part heat exchange element 1 is entirely plugged in the outer periphery side and partially plugged in the inside (Cells 3 in the inside are plugged similarly to, for example, the case of Fig.
- Fig. 18B is a view showing an embodiment of a heat exchanger where heat exchange elements 1 each obtained by combining an entirely plugged prismatic column and a partially unplugged prismatic column are disposed in the front part and rear part portions. The bottom region of the front part is completely plugged, and the upper region of the rear part is completely plugged. The constitution enables the flow of the first fluid to change.
- Fig. 19A shows an embodiment of a heat exchange element 1 where the inlets and the outlets of the first fluid circulation portions 5 are alternately plugged.
- Fig. 19B is an A-A cross-sectional view in Fig. 19A .
- the material for the partition walls 4 is varied depending on the place of the partition walls 4, and the constitution is made so that the first fluid flowing in from the inlet passes the partition walls 4 and flows out from the outlet.
- heat collection of the first fluid is performed not on the wall face but inside the porous partition walls 4. Since heat can be collected not by the two-dimensional surface but three-dimensionally, the conductive area can be increased.
- Fig. 20 shows an embodiment where porous walls 17 are formed in the first fluid circulation portion 5 as the first fluid passage.
- Fig. 20 is a cross-sectional view of the first fluid circulation portion 5.
- the porosity of the porous walls in the first fluid circulation portion 5 is higher than that of the partition walls 4 between the first fluid circulation portion 5 and the second fluid circulation portion 6. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the first fluid passes through the porous walls 17 and is discharged from the outlet. Since heat can be collected not by the two-dimensional surface but three-dimensionally, the conductive area can be increased even in the same volume. Alternatively, the heat exchange element 1 can be miniaturized.
- Fig. 21 shows an embodiment of a heat exchange element 1 where the thickness (wall thickness) of the partition walls 4 forming the first fluid circulation portion 5 is gradually increased from the center toward the outer periphery in a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction.
- the thicker the wall is the higher the fin efficiency is.
- Fig. 22 shows an embodiment of a heat exchange element 1 employing a honeycomb structure having an external shape of an ellipse.
- the partition walls 4 extending in the short axial direction is formed to be thick. Since the fin efficiency is high as the partition walls 4 became thick, thick walls are disposed on the side perpendicular to the second fluid so that the heat of the first fluid can be transferred to the second fluid to raise the entire thermal conduction. In addition, pressure loss can be reduced in comparison with increase of the thickness in the entire portions.
- the shape of the heat exchange element 1 may be rectangle.
- Fig. 23 shows an embodiment where the outer peripheral wall 7 of a honeycomb structure forming the heat exchange element 1 is thicker than the partition walls 4 forming the cells 3.
- the outer peripheral wall 7 thicker than the cells 3 in the central portion, strength of the structure can be enhanced.
- the cells 3 are plugged similarly to, for example, the case of Fig. 2A with each circulation portion being formed.
- Fig. 24 shows an embodiment where the external shape of the honeycomb structure forming the heat exchange element is flattened.
- the conductive path can be made short in the short axial portion in comparison with a circle, and it has small waterway pressure loss in comparison with the case of making the external shape of the honeycomb structure a corner structure.
- Figs. 25A to 25C show an embodiment where end faces 2 on the inlet side of the first fluid of the honeycomb structure are inclined. By inclining the inlet, the area where the high temperature portion of the first fluid is brought into contact becomes wider to increase the entire conductive area. It is also possible to make the end faces on the outlet side inclined, and, in this case, the pressure loss can be reduced.
- Fig. 26 shows an embodiment where the end face 2 on the inlet side of the first fluid of the honeycomb structure forming a heat exchange element1 is formed to have a depressed face shape.
- Fig. 27 shows an embodiment of a heat exchanger 10 where an adiabatic plate 18 has the same shape as the cells 3 forming the first fluid circulation portion 5 is disposed on the inlet side of the first fluid of a heat exchange element 1. Since the opening ratio of the inlet on the first fluid side is small, in the case of disposing no adiabatic plate, when the first fluid is brought into contact with the end face on the inlet side, heat is lost at the inlet wall face. Disposing an adiabatic plate having the same shape in accordance with the inlet allows the first fluid to flow into the honeycomb with maintaining the heat to prevent the heat of the first fluid from being lost.
- cells 3 are plugged similarly to, for example, the case of Fig. 2A with each circulation portion being formed.
- the heated medium as the first fluid being circulated in a ceramics heat exchanger 10 of the present invention having a constitution as described above as long as it is a medium having heat, such as gas or liquid.
- a medium having heat such as gas or liquid.
- gas is automobile exhaust gas.
- the medium to be heated as the second fluid which take heat from (exchange heat with) the heated medium there is no particular limitation on the medium as long as the temperature is lower than that of the heated medium, such as gas or liquid.
- water is preferable in consideration of handling, it is not particularly limited to water.
- the heat exchange element 1 since the heat exchange element 1 has high heat conductivity, and there is a plurality of sites functioning as fluid passages by the partition walls 4, high heat exchange rate can be obtained. Therefore, the entire heat exchange element 1 can be miniaturized, and it can be mounted on an automobile. In addition, pressure loss is small with respect to the first fluid (high temperature side) and the second fluid (low temperature side).
- a method for manufacturing a ceramics heat exchanger 10 of the present invention is described.
- a ceramic forming raw material is extruded to form a honeycomb structure where a plurality of cells 3 partitioned by ceramic partition walls 4 and extending through in an axial direction from one end face 2 to the other end face 2 are partitioned and formed.
- slits are formed so as to extend through the partition walls 4 forming the cells 3 and the outer peripheral wall 7 of the honeycomb structure in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction, and plugged portions 13 plugged with plugging members are formed on one end face 2 each of and the other end face 2 of each of the cells 3 in the cell lines where the slits are formed to manufacture a heat exchange element 1.
- the manufacturing can be performed as follows. After kneaded clay containing a ceramic powder is extruded into a desired shape, drying and firing are performed to obtain a honeycomb structure segment. By this, there can be obtained a honeycomb structure segment (rectangular parallelepiped) where a plurality of cells 3 functioning as gas flow passages are partitioned and formed by the partition walls 4.
- the aforementioned ceramics can be employed as the material for the heat exchange element 1, for example, in the case of manufacturing a segment containing Si-impregnated SiC composite material as the main component, in the first place, predetermined amounts of a C powder, a SiC powder, a binder, and water or an organic solvent are kneaded and formed to obtain a formed article having a desired shape. Next, the formed article is put in pressure-reduced inert gas or vacuum in a metal Si atmosphere to impregnate the formed article with metal Si.
- kneaded clay of a forming material is formed, and the kneaded clay is subjected to extrusion forming in a forming step to form a honeycomb-shaped formed article having a plurality of cells 3 partitioned by partition walls 4 and functioning as exhaust gas passages.
- the article is dried and fired to obtain a heat exchange element 1 of a segment formed as a honeycomb structure (honeycomb structure segment).
- the honeycomb structure segment manufactured above is cut out to form slits in every other cell line on the side of the honeycomb structure segment. Then, with respect to the cut-out face (end face 2) on the honeycomb structure side, plugging on each cell line having a slit is performed.
- the plugging material preferably has the same composition as that of the honeycomb structure segment.
- the plugging material is preferably of silicon carbide.
- the plugged honeycomb structure (segment) is fired in a hydrogen atmosphere to manufacture a segment as a heat exchange element 1.
- a side face (outer peripheral wall 7) of the honeycomb-structured segment manufactured by extrusion forming as described above is subjected to slit-working to form the second fluid circulation portions 6, and the first fluid circulation portions 5 are subjected to plugging for manufacturing at low costs.
- the size of the heat exchange element 1 is increased, modularization is easy.
- a heat exchange element 1 of the present invention has a cross-flow structure of the first fluid (high temperature side) and the second fluid (low temperature side) and shows high heat exchange efficiency between the first fluid (high temperature side) and the second fluid (low temperature side) in comparison with conventional ones, the heat exchanger 10 itself can be miniaturized. Further, since manufacturing from a unitary type by extrusion forming is possible, costs can be reduced.
- the heat exchange element 1 can suitably be used in the case that the first fluid is gas and that the second fluid is liquid. For example, it can suitably be used for exhaust heat recovery or the like to improve automobile gas mileage.
- the kneaded clay containing a ceramic powder was extruded to have a desired shape, it was dried and fired to manufacture a heat exchange element 1 of silicon carbide segment having a main body size of 33 ⁇ 33 ⁇ 60 mm.
- the structures of the segments of the heat exchange elements 1 of Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 are as in Table 1. Incidentally, no catalyst was loaded on any of the Examples and Comparative Examples.
- the "number of the partition walls" of the first fluid circulation portion 6 shows the number of the partition walls in one line (For example, the numbers of the partition walls are "6" in Fig. 2A and "2 " in Fig. 2B .).
- a stainless steel heat exchange element-holding container 11 was used as the outside container for the heat exchange element 1.
- Pipes are provided on the heat exchange element-holding container 11 in accordance with the cross-flow structure of the heat exchange element 1. Incidentally, the two routes are completely partitioned 4 lest the first fluid and the second fluid should be mixed together.
- the inlet temperature and the flow rate of the first fluid and the second fluid were entirely the same.
- nitrogen gas (N 2 ) at 350°C was used.
- water was used as the second fluid.
- the nitrogen gas had a SV (space velocity) of 50,000 h -1 with respect to the heat exchange element 1.
- Model gas was allowed to flow into the first fluid circulation portions 5 of the heat exchange element 1, and (cooled) water was sent into the second fluid circulation portions 6.
- the (cooled) water had a flow rate of 5 L/min.
- the heat exchanger 10 of Comparative Example 1 has a structure different from those of the heat exchangers 10 of Examples 1 to 3, the test conditions such as flow rate of the first fluid and the second fluid were entirely the same.
- the pipe capacity (portion of the heat exchange element 1) of Comparative Example 1 was the same as the main body capacity (33cc) of the segments of heat exchange elements 1 of Examples 1 to 3.
- Comparative Example 1 had pipes having a dual structure where the second fluid flow passage is present in the outer peripheral portion of the pipe functioning as the first fluid flow passage. That is, it had a structure where the second fluid flows outside the pipe for the first fluid. It had a structure where the (cooling) water flows outside (gap of 5 mm) the pipe.
- the pipe capacity of Comparative Example 1 means capacity of the pipe functioning as the first fluid flow passage.
- Table 1 shows heat exchange rate.
- the heat exchange rate (%) was obtained by calculating each energy amount from the ⁇ T°C (outlet temperature of heat exchange element - inlet temperature) of each of the first fluid (nitrogen gas) and the second fluid (water) with the formula 1.
- Heat exchange rate % temperature rise energy amount of medium to be heated second fluid / temperature fall energy amount of heated medium first fluid
- Example 1 showed high heat exchange efficiency in comparison with Comparative Example 1. This seems to be because, in the case of Comparative Example 1, though heat exchange with the first fluid (nitrogen gas) was easy on the side close to (cooling) water, sufficient heat exchange was hard in the central portion of the pipe, and thereby the thermal exchange rate was low as a whole. On the other hand, since the present invention has a honeycomb structure, the wall area where the first fluid (nitrogen gas) is brought into contact with (cooling) water is large in comparison with Comparative Example 1, and this seems to be the cause of high heat exchange efficiency.
- Example 2 had high heat exchange efficiency in comparison with Example 3. This shows that a honeycomb structure having more partition walls (Example 2) is more excellent in heat exchange than a honeycomb structure having less partition walls, and this seems to be because the wall area where the first fluid is brought into contact increases by a honeycomb structure having more partition walls.
- Examples 4 and 5 had high heat exchange efficiency in comparison with Examples 1 to 3. This seems to be because Examples 4 and 5 became dense bodies by impregnation of the segment of the heat exchange element 1 with Si to raise thermal conductivity. This shows that performing Si impregnation is more preferable.
- Example 1 had no breakage of partition walls during the test evaluation in comparison with Comparative Example 2. This seems to be because, since Comparative Example 2 had small partition wall density, strength was insufficient, and partition walls had a breakage during the test by the internal pressure of the fluid. From this, the partition wall density is more preferably 0.5 g/cm 3 or more.
- Example 5 had no breakage of the main body during the production of the heat exchange element 1 in comparison with Comparative Example 3. This seems to be because, though Comparison Example 3 had high strength due to high partition wall density, it was prone to break inversely, and thereby breakage was caused during the production of the heat exchange element 1. From this, in consideration of production of the heat exchange element 1, the partition wall density is more preferably 5 g/cm 3 or less.
- heat exchange element of the present invention is not particularly limited in either the automobile field or the industrial field as long as heat exchange is performed between a heated medium (high temperature side) and a medium to be heated (low temperature side).
- heat exchange element for exhaust heat recovery from exhaust gas in the automobile field, it can be used to improve gas mileage of automobiles.
