Definitions
- the invention relates to a heat exchanger, notably a micro-channel heat exchanger.
- the invention further relates to an air conditioning system.
- a heat exchanger according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from document JPS58160797 .
- the known heat exchanger comprises a plurality of parallel fins arranged between the adjacent tubes.
- the known fins have a substantially uniform depth and may be arranged in a suitable profile, like a zigzag between the adjacent tubes.
- An inflowing air stream impinging on the fins of the known heat exchanger is intercepted by the whole cross-section of the fin structure arranged between the tubes.
- a heat exchanger notably a micro-channel heat exchanger with improved operational characteristics.
- an improved heat exchanger in particular it is an object of the invention to provide a heat exchanger having improved fin structure.
- the fin structure has a reduced resistance for the inflowing stream of air. It particular, it is found advantageous that the substantially parallel surfaces of the meander structure are shaped as respective openings diverging towards the external face of the heat exchanger conceived to intercept the inflowing stream of air.
- the depth profile provided in the substantially parallel surfaces of the fins is V-shaped, having the wider portion of the V-shape at an external face of the heat exchanger conceived to receive an inflowing stream of air.
- the heat exchanger is less sensitive to particle contamination present in the inflowing stream of air, which contributed to the improved operational characteristics of the heat exchanger according to the invention.
- the heat exchanger having the V-shaped depth profiles in the substantially parallel surfaces of the fins has an increased cooling capacity in condensing or frost accumulating conditions. This may be explained by the fact that in the heat exchanger according to the invention an improved water draining capacity is achieved.
- the depth profile is provided for a portion of the said meander of canted shape.
- the invention further relates to an air conditioning device comprising the heat exchanger as is discussed with reference to the foregoing.
- FIG. 1 presents in a schematic way an embodiment of a known heat exchanger.
- the known heat exchanger 10 comprises a set of tubes 2 enclosing a set of fins 4, which may propagate according to a meander shape in a meander propagation direction M.
- the fins 4 in the meander structure form mutually substantially parallel surface 3a, ..., 3n, which are transversely arranged to the tubes 2.
- the surfaces 3a, ...3n are substantially perpendicular to the tubes 2.
- the known heat exchanger 10 further comprises a manifold 8 comprising a set of channels 6.
- the known heat exchanger has a limitation that the spaces between the substantially parallel surfaces 3a, ..., 3n may be polluted with particles present in the inflowing air thereby reducing cooling capacity of the known heat exchanger.
- FIG. 2 presents in a schematic way an embodiment, based on standard heat exchanger 10, of the heat exchanger 20 according to an aspect of the invention having a cross-sectional dimension X, Y and a depth dimension Z.
- the heat exchanger 20 comprises a set of tubes 23 enclosing the set of fins having the substantially parallel surface 22a, ..., 22n.
- the fins and the tubes are connected with the manifold 21 provided with channels 21a, ...21n.
- the substantially parallel surfaces 22a, ..., 22n are provided with a depth profile 25, which has a wider portion at a face surface 24 of the fins conceived to intercept the stream of the inflowing air 26. It will be appreciated that the depth profile may have different shapes.
- the depth profile 25 provided in the parallel fins 22a, ..., 22n decrease the resistance for the inflowing air 26.
- the depth profile 25 ensures that the particles possible present in the inflowing air have a lower probability to deposit on the external face portion 24a and thereby to block the pathway of the inflowing air 26 towards the inner volume of the heat exchanger.
- the depth and slant profile 25 provided in the parallel fins 22a, ..., 22n increase the water drain capacity .
- the gravity helps to drains the water so it drips of the point of the canted profile.
- the heat exchanger of the invention has in practice an increased cooling capacity and an increased robustness with respect to operational malfunction.
- FIG. 3 presents in a schematic way an embodiment in a still different shape of the heat exchanger 30 according to an aspect of the invention.
- the cross-sectional view shows the staggered tubes 37 with the parallelogram shaped fins having surfaces 32. Air can enter the heat exchanger with reduced flow resistance due to the V-shaped profile 36 and water drains itself easy from the projecting edge of the tube 37.
- FIG 4 presents in a schematic way a further embodiment of the heat exchanger 40 according to a still further aspect of the invention.
- the tubes 42 and the fins 41 are affixed to the manifold 43.
- the fins 41 are provided with the depth profile (i.e. groove) as is discussed with the reference to the foregoing along the complete length of the meander structure having a suitable plurality of substantially parallel surfaces (not shown for clarity).
