Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heat exchanger, especially a condenser for an air conditioning unit. While being developed to be used in automotive vehicle, it shall not be limited thereto.
  • condensers located in a vehicle front end. They are made of a core comprising tubes and fins located between the tubes. They provide a heat exchange between a refrigerant fluid flowing in the tubes and an air flow flowing through the fins.
  • the core is generally provided with a condensing portion and a sub cooling portion in which the refrigerant fluid flows coming from a receiver attached to the core. Many solutions have been proposed to connect the receiver and the core.
  • condensers comprising a core made of plates stacked along a stacking direction, said plates alternatively defining a flow passage for the refrigerant fluid and a cooling liquid to have both fluids exchanging heat there between.
  • the condensing portion and the sub cooling portions are defined by a corresponding number of plates.
  • the invention proposes in that view a heat exchanger between a first fluid and a second fluid, especially a condenser for an air conditioning unit, said heat exchanger comprising a first core defining flow passages for said first fluid and said second fluid stacked alternatively along a stacking direction to have both fluids exchanging heat there between, said heat exchanger further comprising a receiver for said first fluid, said receiver comprising a body defining one tube receiving said first fluid, said tube having two open longitudinal extremities, said receiver further comprising caps closing an internal volume defined by said tube for said first fluid, said body being attached to a side of said first core oriented perpendicularly to said stacking direction.
  • the invention provides a high degree of integration of the receiver in the heat exchanger. Thanks to its single internal volume, said receiver further gives the opportunity to use components coming from receiver technologies used in tubes and fins heat exchangers.
  • the invention relates to a heat exchanger between a first fluid and a second fluid, especially a condenser for an air conditioning unit, more especially for automotive applications.
  • Said first fluid is for instance a refrigerant fluid, as the fluids known under R134a or R1234yf.
  • the heat exchanger is configured to have it enter under gaseous phase and exit under liquid phase.
  • the second fluid is for instance a cooling liquid as water added with some anti freeze like glycol.
  • the cooling liquid may be a mixture of water and glycol.
  • Said heat exchanger comprises a first core 1 and optionally a second core 5 stacked with said first core along a stacking direction D.
  • said first core is especially configured to achieve a condensation of said refrigerant fluid and said second core to achieve a subcooling thereof.
  • Said cores 1, 5 define flow passages for said first fluid and said second fluid stacked alternatively along said stacking direction to have both fluids exchanging heat there between.
  • Said cores 1, 5 are for instance made of plates 3 stacked along said stacking direction to define said passages.
  • a same plate defines a passage for the first fluid together with one of the adjoining plate and a passage for the second fluid with the other adjoining plate.
  • Said plates are for instance obtained by stamping a laminated plate of metal, especially aluminium and/or an aluminium alloy.
  • Said plates 3 may be of rectangular shape.
  • said first and second cores 1, 5 have a parallelepipedic shape with lateral sides 1a, 1b, 1c, 5a, 5b, 5c parallel to said stacking direction, top sides 2a and bottom sides 6b parallel to said stacking direction.
  • Said plates 3 comprise for instance a rising edge, defining with a bottom of said plate a volume in which said fluids flow.
  • Said plates are provided, for instance, with four holes managed in the bottom of said plates, two of said holes being provided for the circulation of the first fluid and two other of said holes for the circulation of the second fluid.
  • the holes for the circulation of the first fluid may be located along a first longitudinal side of said plate and the holes for the circulation of the other fluid along the other longitudinal side.
  • Said heat exchanger further comprise collecting means or channels 42 to have said first fluid flowing from one of said passage for the first fluid to the next passage for the first fluid and said second fluid flowing from one of said passage for the second fluid to the next passage for the second fluid.
  • Said collecting means are for instance constituted by two embossed portion of said plate bottom, each provided with one of said holes. More precisely, two of said holes are provided in a flat portion of said plates and the two others are provided at the top of said embossed portion. When stacked, the two holes of the embossed portion of one said plate are in communication with the two holes provided in the flat portion of the bottom of one of the adjoining plate.
  • Said plates 3 of both first and second cores may be of the same type, the only difference between the two cores being the number of plates which are used to constitute them. It can also be seen that said plates are stacked from bottom to top in said first core 1 and from top to bottom in said second core 5.
  • Said heat exchanger further comprises here a receiver 7 for said first fluid.
  • Said receiver is connected upstream with said first core 1 and optionally downstream with said second core 5.
  • said receiver aims at separating the part of said refrigerant fluid potentially still in an gaseous phase from the part in liquid phase to let only said liquid phase part flow downstream. It may also aim at filtering and/or drying said refrigerant fluid.
