Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a heat exchanger, in particular for an air conditioning fluid circuit of a vehicle corresponding to the preamble of the coating 1, and more particularly a fluid / fluid type exchanger intended to be traversed by a fluid under high pressure.
  • a heat exchanger is known, for example, from the document WO 2005 / 088219A1 .
  • the heat exchangers for an air conditioning fluid circuit of a vehicle may be traversed by a supercritical refrigerant such as carbon dioxide (CO 2 ).
  • CO 2 carbon dioxide
  • This fluid remains substantially in the gaseous state and under a high operating pressure usually between 100 and 150 bar. It is therefore necessary for such heat exchangers to withstand such pressures, and a bursting pressure generally substantially equivalent to three times the value of the operating pressure is provided for this purpose.
  • such exchangers comprise a plurality of flat tubes stacked one on top of the other and having channels for circulating a first fluid, a second fluid circulating between the tubes.
  • Each end of the tubes is connected to a manifold for distributing the first fluid at one end and collect at the other end.
  • the invention aims, for this purpose, a heat exchanger according to claim 1.
  • assembling the ends of the tubes at least in pairs makes it possible to obtain a heat exchanger, compact and compact, in which the tubes of the same assembly of tubes, in particular the tubes of one and the same pair of tubes. , reinforce each other at the level of the cooperation zone of the exchanger.
  • the spacing between two assemblies of tubes, in particular between two pairs of tubes is increased relative to an exchanger in which each end of tubes would be connected separately to the collector, which makes it possible to reinforce the zone. of cooperation between the ends of the tubes and the collector by different reinforcing means and to have a resistant heat exchanger.
  • the invention relates to a heat exchanger 1, in particular exchanger for an air conditioning circuit of a vehicle, allowing a heat exchange between a first fluid F1 and a second fluid F2.
  • Said exchanger 1 comprises a plurality of tubes 3 for circulating the first fluid F1, stacked on one another and at least one manifold 5 comprising a collecting plate 7.
  • said exchanger 1 comprises, at each of these ends 1a and 1b, first and second collectors 5a and 5b.
  • the first collector 5a is an inlet manifold of the first fluid F1, which is here a gas under high pressure, such as CO 2 and the second collector 5b is an outlet manifold of this fluid F1.
  • Each manifold 5a and 5b is connected to the plurality of tubes 3, also called beam 4, by the manifold plate 7. The first fluid F1 thus passes successively through said inlet manifold 5a, said bundle 4 and said outlet manifold 5b.
  • Said exchanger 1 comprises, here, a housing 9 formed of side walls 9a and 9b.
  • Said walls 9a and 9b comprise an inlet orifice 11a and / or an outlet orifice 11b for the second fluid F2 which is here a heat-transfer liquid, in particular brine, circulating between the tubes 3 stacked so as to cool the first fluid F1.
  • a heat-transfer liquid in particular brine
  • the inlet orifice 11a of the second fluid F2 is located at the end 1b where the outlet manifold 5b of the first fluid F1 is located and the outlet port 11b is located opposite, ie at the end 1a, to the inlet manifold 5a of the first fluid F1. In this way, counterflow of said fluids is available.
  • said collecting plate 7 comprises orifices 13 for introducing one end 3a of the tubes 3 so that said ends 3a of said tubes 3 are assembled two by two in one and the same of said insertion orifices 13. the collector plate 7. There is in this way a collector having a compact and robust configuration.
  • Said collector 5 may also comprise a cover 15 and an intermediate plate, called a reinforcing plate 17.
  • Said reinforcing plate 17 is configured to form a spacer between a wall 15a of the lid 15 and the header plate 7. It comprises orifices 19 for the passage of the fluid F1 facing the orifices 13 for introducing the header plate 7 so that that the fluid F1 can flow between the tubes 3 and the manifold 5 through the orifices 13, 19.
  • said orifices 19 of said reinforcing plate 17 are of a dimension greater than the size of the orifices 13 of said plate collector 7.
  • said reinforcing plate 17 comprises shoulder straps 21 configured to bear on collars 23 bordering said orifices 13 of said collector plate 7. In this way, each of said straps 21 is in contact with a lower part 23a. and an upper portion 23b of the same collar 23 bordering two adjacent orifices 13. Said reinforcing plate 17 thus limits the risk of buckling of the manifold plate 7 at the level of the flanges 23 bordering the introduction orifices 13, and between said introduction orifices 13, in particular when the heat exchanger 1 is intended for a gas under high pressure.
  • Said cover 15 can define several chambers 25 in said manifold 5, as shown in FIG. figure 5 .
  • the lid 15 then comprises legs 27 delimiting on each side a chamber 25. Here, three parallel chambers 25 formed by two legs 27 are shown.
  • the supply of said first fluid collector F1 and the outlet thereof can be done, as shown here, by means of a supply flange 29.
  • Said supply flanges 29 may comprise a plurality of ducts 31.
  • said flange 29 comprises a number of ducts 31 equivalent to the number of chambers 25 of the collector 5, each duct 31 feeding a 25.
  • the flange 29 shown in FIGS. figures 1 , 3 to 5 comprises a fluid inlet duct 31a which divides into three regularly distributed ducts 31b, possibly of lower section to the inlet duct 31a, each of the three ducts 31b supplying one of the three chambers 25.
  • This type of flange 29 associated with a The plurality of chambers 25 allows a uniform distribution of the fluid F1 in the different chambers 25 and an optimized supply, which can be advantageous in a heat exchanger for gas under high pressure.
  • Said flange 29 may be carried by said lid 15.
  • the latter here has an opening allowing the passage of the first fluid F1 in the manifold 5.
  • said heat exchanger 1 further comprises an additional plate 33 placed between the cover 15 and the reinforcing plate 17.
  • Said additional plate 33 allows brazing of said cover 15 and of said reinforcing plate 17 between them.
  • it is coated for example with a brazing alloy.
  • the additional plate 33 has a contour surface substantially identical to that of the reinforcing plate 17.
  • Said additional plate 33 also comprises orifices 35 for the passage of the first fluid F1 facing the orifices 13 of the plate manifold 7 and 19 holes of the reinforcing plate 17 in which the end 3a of a pair of tubes 3 is inserted.
  • the additional plate 33 has legs 37 complementary to the legs 27 of the cover 15 delimiting each of the chambers 25.
  • the cover 15 and the reinforcing plate 17 are thus soldered together over a wide contact surface.
  • Said additional plate 33 further comprises, here, shoulder straps 38, located opposite straps 21 of the reinforcing plate 17.
  • Said straps 38 of the additional plate 33 and its legs 37 are orthogonal and define between them the holes 35 of said additional plate 33. In the example illustrated, there are therefore three orifices 35 of the additional plate 33 opposite one and the same orifice 19 of the reinforcing plate 17.
  • said collecting plate 7 comprises two parallel outer side portions 39a and 39b bordering longitudinally the cover 15 and said reinforcing plate 17 and ending with a return 41 over its entire height in contact with said flange 29 so as to form with the cover 15 and said reinforcing plate 17 a unitary assembly.
  • the tubes 3 are extruded flat tubes comprising a plurality of channels 43 for the circulation of the first fluid F1, here a gas under high pressure. Said tubes 3 are deformed so as to form a plurality of corrugation lines 45.
  • the lines 45 are, here, parallel to each other and are substantially identical.
  • the corrugation lines 45 extend obliquely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the tube 3 and the tubes 3 are assembled so as to cross the corrugation lines 45 of adjacent tubes 3.
  • Said tubes 3 stacked and are in contact with each other, particularly at portions of the peaks 47 of the corrugations, called contact points.
  • said tubes 3 are brazed together at their points of contact.
  • the tubes may have, at their end 3a, a particular section so that the section formed by two ends 3a of assembled tubes is oblong, advantageously formed of straight and / or convex portion
  • the ends 3a of the tubes 3 are substantially planar, ie devoid of corrugation lines 45, so that they can be assembled in pairs and inserted into the orifices 13 for introducing the collector plates 7 of each of the two collectors 5a and 5b, as just described.
  • Said tubes 3 may be configured so as to be longitudinally held so that their end remains in the thickness of the reinforcing plate 17 set back from one face of said reinforcing plate 17 turned towards the inside of the collector 5 , even remains set back from a free edge of said collars 23 of the collector plate 7.
  • all the elements of the exchanger 1 are brazed together in one step, according to one or more preassembly steps.
  • each insertion orifice is sized to receive at least two tubes.
