Definitions
- the present invention relates to a heat exchanger, in particular a heat exchanger for equipping a motor vehicle.
- a motor vehicle heat exchanger generally comprises tubes, in which a coolant is intended to circulate, and heat exchange elements connected to these tubes, also called fins.
- Such a heat exchanger further comprises two water boxes in fluid communication with the tubes being respectively connected to the opposite ends of the tubes.
- the tubes are held by collecting plates closing each water box.
- the connection of the tubes to the collector plates is most often carried out by brazing.
- the coolant cyclically passes through the tubes from one water box to another so that the fluid exchanges heat with the ambient air in contact with the tubes and fins to increase or decrease in temperature.
- the tubes heat or cool periodically, causing their contraction or expansion, which themselves generate stresses at the junction between the tubes and the collector plate.
- These constraints are at the origin of a fatigue essentially experienced by the ends of the tubes where the junction with the collector plate is located.
- reinforcement means are generally inserted inside the tube near the junction between the tubes and the collector plate.
- US 2007/131404 discloses a heat exchanger for a motor vehicle whose tubes are provided with reinforcing means intended to be arranged inside the tubes and constituted for this purpose two wings of complementary shape of the inner surface. of the tube wall.
- reinforcing means make it possible to limit the fatigue experienced by the ends of the tubes under the effect of the stresses due to thermal deformations.
- the reinforcing means limit the fluid passage section in the tube, which has the effect of creating undesirable pressure drops in the heat exchanger, thus reducing its performance.
- the purpose of the invention is therefore to provide means for reinforcing the ends of the tubes that do not generate pressure drops in the heat exchanger.
- the invention relates to a heat exchanger comprising: a bundle of tubes;
- the reinforcing means is attached to an outer surface of at least one of the tubes, in a non-finned extending zone and extending between the header plate and an envelope surface of the fin bundle .
- the reinforcement means By placing the reinforcement means on an outer surface of the tube, in a zone devoid of fins and extending between the collector plate and an envelope surface defined by the fin bundle, the latter do not create any pressure drop since they are not inside the tube.
- the invention makes it possible effectively to exploit an available space between the header plate and the fin bundle for inserting reinforcing means for the tube.
- each tube of the bundle is provided with reinforcement means.
- the reinforcing means comprise at least one U-shaped reinforcing element comprising a groove and two branches, the reinforcing element overlapping a tube of generally complementary shape of the reinforcing element.
- the tubes comprise two large faces and two small faces.
- the branches of the reinforcing element are parallel to each other and the groove of the U is abutting on a small face of a tube.
- the branches of the reinforcing element follow the shape of the collector plate.
- the reinforcement means comprise at least one reinforcement member common to several tubes, the common reinforcement having a general boustrophedon shape delimiting reinforcing elements each overlapping a tube.
- the reinforcing means comprise at least two reinforcing elements arranged on the same tube.
- the two reinforcing elements are arranged face to face on the outer surface of the same tube so that the respective ends of their branches are contiguous and that the elements of reinforcement form between them a reinforcement surrounding the tube.
- the two reinforcing elements are arranged face to face on the outer surface of the same tube so that the respective ends of their branches are spaced apart.
- the reinforcing element comprises a heel which extends partly between two successive secondary envelope surfaces.
- the reinforcing means are brazed to the tube.
- the bundle of tubes, the bundle of fins and the reinforcement means are made of an alloy comprising essentially aluminum.
- alloy essentially comprising aluminum is meant an alloy comprising a majority of moles of aluminum.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a heat exchanger comprising reinforcing elements according to a first embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2 is a view of the exchanger of FIG. 1 along plane II-II;
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a reinforcing element of FIG. 1;
- Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 2 showing reinforcing elements according to a second embodiment of the invention.
- Figures 5 and 6 are views similar to Figure 2 of a reinforcing element of a heat exchanger according to third and fourth embodiments of the invention
- FIG. 7 and 8 are perspective views of a reinforcing member of a heat exchanger comprising reinforcing elements according to fifth and sixth embodiments of the invention.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show a heat exchanger according to one embodiment of the invention designated by the general reference 10.
- the heat exchanger 10 is intended to equip a motor vehicle.
- the heat exchanger 10 comprises tubes 12, substantially rectilinear, in which a heat transfer fluid is intended to circulate, and heat exchange elements, also called fins, connected to these tubes 12.
- the tubes 12 have a cross section of generally rounded rectangular shape.
- the tubes 12 are arranged substantially parallel to each other, and aligned, so as to form a single row.
- Each tube 12 thus comprises two long sides and two short sides, and the fins extend, as can be seen in Figure 1, between the long sides of two successive tubes 12.
- the fins are only represented by their volume of space in the heat exchanger 10.
- the fins comprise fluid disturbers, of generally rectangular shape and arranged between the tubes 12 transversely to the axis of the tubes 12, so as to create a large surface of heat exchange between each tube 12 and outside air.
- the fins are preferably connected to an outer surface S of the wall of a tube 12 on the one hand, and to the outer surface S of the wall of a successive tube 12 on the other hand.
- the heat exchanger 10 comprising a plurality of tubes 12 and a plurality of fins, one can define side surfaces envelopes E s separated by the tubes 12 which are distributed in the fins.
- the heat exchanger 10 further comprises a water box 14 in fluid communication with the tubes 12.
- the water box 14 is here composed of a body 16 of water box closed by a plate 18 usually called collector plate.
- the tubes 12 are connected to the water box 14, by their ends, which are generally nested in the interlocking orifices formed in said header plate 18. Thus the tubes 12 each open into the header plate 18.
- the heat exchanger 10 further comprises reinforcing means 20 of at least one tube 12 attached to an outer surface S of the tube 12, in a zone Z devoid of fins and extending between the collector plate 18 and the envelope surface E defined by the bundle of fins.
