Definitions
- This invention relates generally to heat pump and refrigeration applications and, more particularly, to a a heat exchanger, according to claim 1.
- Heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC&R) systems include heat exchangers to reject or accept heat between the refrigerant circulating within the system and surroundings.
- a microchannel heat exchanger includes two or more containment forms, such as tubes, through which a cooling or heating fluid (i.e. refrigerant or a glycol solution) is circulated.
- the tubes typically have a flattened cross-section and multiple parallel flow channels. Fins are typically arranged to extend between the tubes to assist in the transfer of thermal energy between the heating/cooling fluid and the surrounding environment.
- the fins have a corrugated pattern, incorporate louvers to boost heat transfer, and are typically secured to the tubes via brazing.
- microchannel heat exchangers commonly have substantially identical fins throughout the heat exchanger core.
- moisture present in the airflow provided to the heat exchanger for cooling may condense and then freeze on the external heat exchanger surfaces.
- the ice or frost formed may block the flow of air through the heat exchanger, thereby reducing the efficiency and functionality of the heat exchanger and HVAC&R system.
- Microchannel heat exchangers tend to freeze faster than the round tube and plate fin heat exchangers and therefore require more frequent defrosts, reducing useful heat exchanger utilization time and overall performance. Consequently, it is desirable to construct the microchannel heat exchanger with improved frost tolerance and enhanced performance.
- WO2013/116178 discloses a a heat exchanger according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a heat exchanger is provided according to the wording of claim 1.
- the heat exchanger may be configured such that in use the airflow across the heat exchanger may move from the second slab toward the first slab.
- the cross-sectional flow area of the first heat exchange tubes may be smaller than the cross-sectional area of the second heat exchange tubes.
- the first heat exchange tubes may include a liquid or liquid-vapor mixture including less than 20% vapor by mass.
- the fluid within the second heat exchange tubes may include a liquid or liquid-vapor mixture including less than 20% vapor by mass.
- the fluid within the first heat exchange tubes may include a vapor or liquid-vapor mixture including at least 50% vapor by mass.
- the cross-sectional flow area of the first heat exchange tubes may be smaller than the cross-sectional area of the second heat exchange tubes.
- the heat exchanger may be configured such that in use the airflow across the heat exchanger may move from the first slab toward the second slab.
- the heat exchanger may be configured such that in use the airflow across the heat exchanger moves from the second slab toward the first slab.
- a vapor compression refrigerant cycle 20 of an air conditioning or refrigeration system is schematically illustrated.
- Exemplary air conditioning or refrigeration systems include, but are not limited to, split, packaged, chiller, rooftop, supermarket, and transport refrigeration systems for example.
- a refrigerant R is configured to circulate through the vapor compression cycle 20 such that the refrigerant R absorbs heat when evaporated at a low temperature and pressure and releases heat when condensed at a higher temperature and pressure.
- the refrigerant R flows in a counterclockwise direction as indicated by the arrow.
- the heat pump refrigerant cycle includes a four-way valve (not shown) disposed downstream of the compressor with respect to the refrigerant flow that allows reversing the refrigerant flow direction throughout the refrigerant cycle to switch between the cooling and heating mode of operation for the environment to be conditioned.
- each heat exchange tube 38,40 may be divided by interior walls into a plurality of discrete flow channels 44a, 44b that extend over the length of the tube segments 36 and establish fluid communication between the respective first and second manifolds 32, 34.
- the interior flow passages of the first heat exchange tubes 38 may be divided into a different number of discrete flow channels 44 than the interior flow passages of the second heat exchange tubes 40.
- the flow channels 44a, 44b may have any shape cross-section, such as a circular cross-section, a rectangular cross-section, a trapezoidal cross-section, a triangular cross-section, or another non-circular cross-section for example.
- the plurality of heat exchange tube segments 36 including the discrete flow channels 44a, 44b may be formed using known techniques, such as extrusion for example.
- Each first heat exchange tube 38 and second heat exchange tube 40 has a respective leading edge 46a, 46b, a trailing edge 48a, 48b, a first surface 50a, 50b, and a second surface 52a, 52b ( FIG. 3 ).
- the leading edge 46a, 46b of each heat exchange tube 38, 40 is upstream of its respective trailing edge 48a, 48b with respect to an airflow A through the heat exchanger 30.
- the first heat exchange tubes 38 and the second heat exchanger tubes 40 are substantially different or asymmetric.
- the second heat exchange tubes 40 are wider and have a greater number of discrete flow channels 44 than the first heat exchange tube 38, resulting in a larger cross-sectional flow area.
- the second heat exchange tube 40 as illustrated in FIG. 3 , is wider than the first heat exchange tube 38, other configurations, such as where the plurality of first heat exchange tubes 38 have a greater cross-sectional flow area than the plurality of second heat exchange tubes 40 for example, are within the scope of the invention.
- the ratio of asymmetry between the first heat exchange tubes 38 and the second heat exchanger tubes 40 may depend on any of a variety of parameters of the heat exchanger, such as capacity,

- the bend 60 is generally formed about an axis extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis or the discrete flow channels 44a, 44b of the tube segments 36.
- the bend 60 is a ribbon fold; however other types of bends are within the scope of the invention.
- the bend 60 is formed at an approximate midpoint of the tube segments 36 between the opposing first and second manifolds 32, 34.
- the bend 60 at least partially defines a first section or slab 62 and a second section or slab 64 of the plurality of tube segments 36.
- the bend 60 can be formed such that the first slab is positioned at an obtuse angle with respect to the second slab 64.
- the bend 60 can also be formed such that the first slab 62 is arranged at either an acute angle or substantially parallel to the second slab 64.
- the bend 60 allows for the formation of a heat exchanger 30 having a conventional A-coil or V-coil shape.
- the lengths of the first slab 62 and the second slab 64 may vary to offset the position of the first manifold 32 relative to the second manifold 34.
- the free ends of the first slab 62 and the second slab 64 may angle or flare away from one another to accommodate the manifolds 32, 34.
- the first heat exchanger tube 38 and the second heat exchanger tube 40 within the same first slab 62 or second slab 64 are configured as different passes within the refrigerant flow path of the heat exchanger 30.
- the heat exchanger 30 may be configured such that refrigerant flows sequentially through the first heat exchanger tube 38 of both the first slab 62 and the second slab 64 prior to flowing through the second heat exchanger tube 40 of the second slab 64 and the first slab 62.
- the refrigerant may enter the heat exchanger 30 at the same slab as the airflow, as shown in the embodiments of FIGS. 7 and 8 , or alternatively, may enter the heat exchanger at a different slab as the airflow.

- the second heat exchanger tube 40 has a smaller cross-sectional flow area than the first heat exchanger tube 38.
- the airflow is configured to flow from the first slab 62 to the second slab 64, and the liquid or two-phase refrigerant is input to the second heat exchanger tubes 40 of the first slab 62.
- refrigerant may be provided to the first heat exchange tubes 38 then the second heat exchange tubes 40, as shown in FIG. 7 .
