Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a heat exchanger, more particularly, to a compact heat exchanger for use in a vehicle.
  • a vehicle generally includes a number of heat exchangers, such as for example a radiator, evaporator and a condenser.
  • the heat exchanger for use in the vehicle is required to be packaged in a limited space due to space constraints and accordingly, is required to be compact.
  • compactness of the heat exchanger is achieved by limiting the size of a core of the heat exchanger, particularly, either by limiting the length of the heat exchange tubes or by reducing the number of heat exchange tubes.
  • the pressure drop is decreased, whereas in case of decreased number of tubes the pressure drop is increased.
  • an additional tube is connected between an inlet tank and an outlet tank of the heat exchanger.
  • the inlet tank and the outlet tank are disposed on opposite sides of the heat exchanger core.
  • an intermediate tank is disposed on a side opposite to the side on which the inlet tank and outlet tank are disposed. Accordingly, the additional tube configures fluid communication between intermediate tank and outlet tank in case of U-flow and inlet and outlet tank in case of I flow or Z flow.
  • the additional tube has larger cross section compared to the individual heat exchanger tube, consequently the flow rate through the additional tube is greater than through the heat exchange tube of the core.
  • the main function of the additional tube is fluid communication between the inlet tank and the outlet tank, while providing a robust reinforcement of the structure due to its shape. Although there is some extent of heat exchange between the first heat exchange fluid flowing through the additional tube and air flowing outside the additional tube, such heat exchange is limited or minimal. More specifically, the additional tube forms a return flow passage from the intermediate tank to the outlet tank, in case the heat exchange tubes along with the additional tube are configuring U-flow.
  • the additional tube forms flow passage from the inlet tank to the outlet tank, in case the heat exchange tubes along with the additional tube are configuring I flow or Z flow.
  • the additional tube is of rectangular cross section that provides limited pressure drop there across. The transition of flow from the additional tube to an outlet pipe through the outlet tank is not smooth and causes flow/ energy losses. Further, the outlet tank and the outlet pipe faces packing issues. More specifically, the rectangular cross-section of the additional tube provides a robust reinforcement to the whole structure of the heat exchanger at low cost. During the operational mode of the heat exchanger, the sub-components contract and expand multiple times.
  • the additional tube improves the pressure drop across the heat exchange tubes, the presence of such tube may cause thermal shock failure due to temperature gradient between the additional tube and the other heat exchange tubes during thermal shock cycle conditions. Further, low heat exchange between additional tube and surroundings may cause higher temperature of additional tube than temperature of the other heat exchange tubes, so the additional tube may expand more than of the other tubes, thereby causing stress on the heat exchange tubes. Such stress may reduce service life of the heat exchanger.
  • a heat exchanger with features incorporated in either of an inlet tank, or an outlet tank to improve internal pressure drop across an additional tube and improve fluid flow through the additional tube. Further, there is a need for a heat exchanger that permits use of lower capacity pump for fluid flow between the inlet tank and the outlet tank. Further, there is another need to features incorporated in the heat exchanger that reduces stress generated on heat exchange tubes and increases service life of the heat exchanger. Further, there is need for a heat exchanger that exhibits improved efficiency and performance due to decreased internal pressure drop across the whole heat exchange due to integration of additional tube.
  • some elements or parameters may be indexed, such as a first element and a second element.
  • this indexation is only meant to differentiate and name elements which are similar but not identical. No idea of priority should be inferred from such indexation, as these terms may be switched without betraying the invention. Additionally, this indexation does not imply any order in mounting or use of the elements of the invention.
  • an embodiment of the invention herein provides a heat exchanger for a vehicle.
  • the heat exchanger includes a first header, a second header, a first tank, a second tank, and a plurality of heat exchange tubes.
  • the first tank includes an inlet and an outlet, adapted to be coupled to the first header.
  • the second tank positioned opposite to the first tank, is adapted to be coupled to the second header.
  • the plurality of heat exchange tubes is deployed in parallel to each other between the first header and the second header.
  • the adjacent tubes of the plurality of heat exchange tubes providing a fluidal communication between the first tank and the second tank form a first set of tubes.
  • the heat exchanger further includes at least one second tube and at least one intermediate tube.
  • the at least one second tube is having substantially rectangular cross section, disposed between the first header and the second header. Further, the second tube is in fluidic communication with the first set of tubes through the second tank. Further, the at least one intermediate tube disposed between the first header and the second header, is configured to block the fluid communication between the first tank and the second tank, characterized in that, the intermediate tube is located between the second tube and the first set of tubes.
  • the first tank includes a pair of baffles configured to receive one end of the intermediate tube to fluidly isolate the first tank and the second tank, the pair of baffles acting as barrier to restrict direct fluid flow from the inlet to the outlet in the first tank.
  • the pair of baffles is provided in between the inlet and the outlet formed in the first tank.
  • both the first header and the second header comprises slots to receive respective ends of the first set of tubes and the second tube.
  • each of the first header and the second header includes an opening, complementary to the cross section of the intermediate tube, to receive respective ends of the intermediate tube.
  • the opening is provided in-line to the inlet formed in the first tank to enable fluid flow into the second tube.
  • the pair of baffles is adapted to be fluid-tight contact with the first header corresponding to the slot receiving the intermediate tube.
  • the intermediate tube is non-heat exchange tube.
  • the cross-section of the second tube is larger than of the cross-section of the tube forming the first set of tubes.
  • the second tube is provided at an end of the heat exchanger and the inlet is provided on the first tank in-line to the second tube.
  • first tank and the second tank are crimped to the first header and the second header respectively.
  • the heat exchanger further includes a gasket provided on each of the first header and the second header to enable fluid tight connection between the first and second headers and the first and second tanks respectively.
  • the inlet and the outlet formed in the first tank are proximal with each other.
  • the second tube is a reverse flow tube.
  • the first tank is of variable cross-section and the cross-section is decreasing in a direction distal from the inlet and the outlet.
  • the present invention relates a heat exchanger provided with an intermediate tube to reduce temperature gradient difference across heat exchange tubes provided in the heat exchanger.
  • the heat exchanger is provided with a reverse flow tube to improve internal pressure drop across the heat exchange tubes provided in the heat exchanger.
  • the reverse flow tube may not efficiently contribute on heat exchange, however, it contribute minimal heat exchange between the fluid flowing into the heat exchange tubes and fluid flowing around the heat exchange tubes.
  • the fluid flowing into the reverse flow tube may be of higher temperature than the fluid flowing in other heat exchange tubes, so the reverse flow tube may expand more than of the other heat exchange tubes, thereby causing stress on the other heat exchange tubes. Such stress may reduce service life of the heat exchanger.
  • an intermediate tube is provided between the reverse flow tube and other heat exchange tubes.
  • the intermediate tube may be a dead tube that does not contribute in heat exchange function.
  • the intermediate tube may reduce the temperature gradient difference between the reverse flow tube and other heat exchange tubes, thereby compensating difference in temperature gradient between the reverse flow tube and the other heat exchange tubes.

  • the heat exchanger 100 includes a first header 102 and a second header 104 disposed opposite to the first header 102. Further, a plurality of heat exchange elements 202 deployed in parallel to each other between the first header 102 and the second header 104.
  • the heat exchanger 100 further includes a first tank 106 and a second tank 108 opposite to the first tank 106.
  • the first tank 106 is adapted to be coupled the first header 102 and the second tank 108 is adapted to be coupled the second header 104.
  • the first tank 106 may include an inlet 110 and an outlet 112 fluidically isolated from the inlet 110.
  • the first tank 106 may include a partition to fluidically isolate the area in the first tank 106 corresponding to the inlet 110 from the area in the first tank 106 corresponding to the outlet 112.
  • the inlet 110 and the outlet 112 formed in the first tank 106 are proximal with each other.
  • a cross-section of the first tank 106 corresponding to the inlet 110 is less than of the cross-section of the first tank 106 corresponding to the outlet 112.
  • the inlet 110 is adapted to ingress a heat exchange fluid into the first tank 106 and the outlet 112 is adapted to egress the heat exchange fluid from the first tank 106.
  • the first tank 106 is crimped to the first header 102 and the second tank 108 is crimpled to the second header 104.
  • the plurality of heat exchange elements 202 is disposed between the first header 102 and the second header 104 to provide fluidal communication between the first tank 106 and the second tank 108. Further, adjacent tubes of the heat exchange tubes 202 form a first set of tubes 204.

  • the second tube 206 can be a tubular element having rectangular section to increase the pressure drop there across, thereby improving the fluid flow through the second tube 206.
  • the second tube 206 is referred to as a reverse flow tube.
  • the second tube 206 is in-line to the inlet 110 to receive the heat exchange fluid.
  • the heat exchange tubes 202 forming the first set of tubes 204 receives the heat exchange fluid through the second tank 108.

Further, temperature of the heat exchange fluid while entering into the second tube 206 is less as comparted to the heat exchange fluid flowing in the first set of tubes 204. Therefore, thermal expansion between the first set of tubes 204 and the second tube 206 is not same, thereby causing stress on the first set of tubes 204.
  • At least one intermediate tube 208 is introduced between the first set of tubes 204 and the second tube 206.
