Definitions
- the present invention relates to a heat exchanger, and more particularly to a mechanical type heat exchanger.
- a heat exchanger generally comprises tubes, in which a heat transfer fluid is intended to circulate, and heat exchange elements connected to these tubes.
- Brazed and mechanical type heat exchangers are usually distinguished by their manufacturing process.
- the heat exchange elements In a mechanical type heat exchanger, the heat exchange elements, referred to in this case as "fins", are connected to the tubes in the following manner. First, the holes are formed in the fins passage tubes. These passage holes are generally delimited each by a fallen edge forming a neck. Then, the fins are arranged substantially parallel to each other and each tube is threaded into a series of aligned holes of the fins. Finally, it causes a radial expansion of the tubes by passing an expansion tool inside these tubes so as to mechanically bind the tubes and fins by crimping, the necks defining the passage holes of the tubes then forming tight collars around the tubes.
- the vanes which have a generally flat rectangular shape, are usually fitted with rows of louvers forming a deflector, interposed between the tubes of the same row. of tubes.
- the convective exchange coefficient is increased.
- the ratio between the number of louvers and the width of each fin is most often chosen according to the possibilities offered by the tools for manufacturing the fins and not the performance of the heat exchanger.
- the object of the invention is to propose a heat exchanger whose heat exchange performance is improved.
- the subject of the invention is a heat exchanger comprising:
- At least one fin disposed transversely to said row of tubes, the tubes being connected to the fin by clamping the tubes in a collar formed in the fin;
- the fin having a generally flat rectangular shape, the ratio between the number of louvers and the width of the fin is between 0.73 and It has surprisingly been found that a ratio between the number of louvers and the width of the fin chosen in this precise range makes it possible to significantly increase the heat exchange performance, while limiting the losses of charge.
- the ratio between the number of louvers and the width of the fin is between 0.87 and 1, preferably being 0.93.
- the ratio of 0.93 appears as a good compromise between the power of heat exchange and pressure drop.
- each first fin comprises an oblong hole for the passage of a tube and at least one spacing spacer with the second fin, the length of each row of louvers of each fin being equal to the length of the oblong hole, and each row of louvers of each fin comprising a so-called narrow end extending between the oblong hole and the spacing spacer, the number of louvers the narrow end being an integer.
- the exchanger comprising first and second superimposed fins, each first fin comprising an oblong hole for the passage of a tube and at least one spacing spacer with the second fin, each row of louvers of each fin having a so-called narrow end extending between the oblong hole and the spacing spacer and a so-called wide end, the narrow ends of two rows of consecutive louvers are respectively arranged near opposite edges of the 'fin.
- At least one spacer comprises two flat tabs parallel to each other.
- an angle between an orientation vector and a reference vector is between -10 degrees and 20 degrees, the orientation vector being a vector whose direction is a direction substantially parallel to a tongue and substantially parallel to the fin and having a direction from the narrow end to the wide end, and a reference vector being a vector having a direction transverse direction of the fin and for direction the direction from the narrow end to the wide end, the angle becoming negative when the air flow, which is oriented in the same direction as the vector reference, tends to deviate from the row of louvers, and becoming positive in the opposite case.
- the angle between the reference and orientation vectors thus defined is generally less than -15 degrees, which corresponds to a configuration in which the air flow redirected by a spacer is directed towards the nearest tube.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a fin and tubes of a heat exchanger according to a first embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 1 is a top view of the fin of Figure 1;
- FIG. 3 is a top view of a row of louvers of the heat exchanger of Figure 1;
- FIG. 4 is a view similar to Figure 3 showing a row of louvers of a heat exchanger according to a second embodiment
- FIG. 5 is a schematic view of an exchanger according to the invention.
- FIG. 5 There is shown in Figure 5 a heat exchanger 1 of the mechanical type for equipping a motor vehicle.
- the heat exchanger comprises a row of tubes 2 (shown truncated for the sake of clarity), in which a heat transfer fluid is intended to circulate, and fins 4 superimposed (only one has been shown for reasons of clarity) connected to these tubes 2.
- the tubes 2 are connected to the fins 4 by clamping the tubes in collars 6 formed in the fins 4.
- the fins 4 are provided with holes 8 for passage of the tubes. These passage holes 8 have a generally oblong shape. In the following, we will call them oblong holes 8.
- the tubes 2 each have a generally elongate shape and have a substantially oblong section.
- the tubes 2 are arranged substantially parallel to each other, so as to form a single row.
- the fins 4 have a generally rectangular shape, substantially flat, and are arranged in the heat exchanger 1 substantially parallel to each other and perpendicular to the longitudinal directions of the tubes 2.
- the exchanger 1 is provided to be traversed by an upstream stream of air downstream, the fins 4 being intended to extend through this flow.
- Arrows F represent the flow direction of flow.
- the exchanger 1 also comprises rows of louvers 12, formed in each fin 4 and each interposed between two tubes 2.
- the ratio between the number of louvers 12 and the width of the fin 4 is between 0.73 and 1.13.
- the ratio is expressed in louver per mm.
- this ratio is between 0.87 and 1, and is for example equal to 0.93. This last choice constitutes a good compromise between performance of the heat exchanger 1 and pressure drops.
- the heat exchanger 1 also comprises spacers 13 spacing between two fins 4 superimposed.
- the spacers 13 comprise two tabs 14 plane parallel to each other.
- the spacers 13 are for example from a puncture of the fin 4.
- the tabs 14 each have a general shape of a half-disk.
- the length of the row 10 of louvers is equal to the length of the oblong holes 8 through which the tubes 2 pass.
- Each row 10 of louvers of the fin 4 comprises a narrow end 16 extending between the oblong hole 8 and the spacing spacer 13.
- louvers 18 of the narrow end 16 are shorter than all other louvers 12 in row 10.
- the number of narrow end louvers 18 extending between the hole 8 and the spacers 14 is an integer.
- each row 10 of louvers 10 of the fin 4 comprises a so-called wide end, in which the louvers 22 are longer than those of the narrow end 16.
- the fin 4 is provided with a single spacer 13 between two consecutive tubes 2 of the row of tubes 2, and not two between two consecutive tubes 2 as in the prior art.
- the narrow ends 16 of two rows 10 of consecutive louvers are more particularly arranged respectively close to opposite edges 24 of the fin 4, as can be seen in Figures 1 and 2.
- an orientation vector O is defined as being a vector whose direction is a direction substantially parallel to a tongue 14 and the fin 4 and having as meaning the direction from the narrow end 16 towards the wide end 17.
- a reference vector R is also defined as a vector having direction for the transverse direction of the fin 4 and for direction the direction going from the narrow end 16 towards the wide end 17.
- the angle ⁇ between the orientation vector O and the reference vector R is between -10 degrees and 20 degrees.
- this angle a is zero.
- the tabs 14 of the spacers 13 are substantially parallel to the transverse direction of the fin 4.
- the angle ⁇ between vectors of orientation O and reference R is, according to the convention defined above, equal to 15 degrees. This last configuration gives good results as regards the performance of the heat exchanger 1.
