Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a heat exchanger assembly.
  • the present invention relates to a heat exchanger assembly equipped with a protection grid.
  • a heat exchanger such as radiator is a part of an engine cooling system adapted to cool fluids such as coolants used for cooling vehicle engine.
  • the radiator typically includes a radiator core formed of spaced parallel tubes, wherein each tube comprises a first end and a second end.
  • the first end of the tubes are individually received in corresponding openings of a first header plate and the second end of the tubes are individually received in corresponding openings of a second header plate.
  • the first header plate and the second header plate receive the respective first and second ends of the tubes.
  • the first header plate in conjunction with a first tank define a first manifold for receiving and distributing a coolant to the tubes.
  • the second header plate in conjunction with the second tank define a second manifold.
  • the coolant is passed through the engine to extract heat therefrom and in the process, the coolant is heated.
  • the heated coolant is fed into the first manifold of the radiator where the first header plate distributes the heated coolant to the radiator tubes connecting the first header plate to the second header plate on an opposite end of the radiator.
  • the heated coolant transfers heat to tubes of the radiator core which transfers the heat to fins that are lodged between the radiator tubes.
  • the fins release the heat to the ambient air that flows across the radiator core.
  • natural draft of air across the radiator core is utilized to save the power consumption in the vehicle and provide unhindered supply of ambient air.
  • the radiator core is disposed behind a front grill of the vehicle.
  • the front grill may be located between a front hood and a front bumper of the vehicle such that the ram air impinges on the front grille of the vehicle as the vehicle moves in forward direction.
  • Such strategic placement of the radiator core enables the ram air to impinge on and pass through the radiator core disposed behind the front grille, thereby creating natural draft of air across the radiator core as the vehicle moves ahead in the forward direction.
  • a protection grid is located on an air inlet side of the radiator core to prevent articles or the like from reaching the radiator core as the vehicle travels.
  • the protection grid is mounted to the radiator core between the opposite first and second tanks of the radiator using side clips formed on lateral sides of the protection grid that engage with side-plates of the radiator. With such configuration, the protection grid is positioned at the air inlet side of the radiator core, with a relatively small gap between the grid and the radiator.
  • the protection grid fails to protect the radiator core against damage from articles striking the protection grid.
  • the invention allows to reduce the vibrations of the protection grid. Consequently, the undesired noise coming from vibrating grid is not heard in passenger cabin anymore.
  • 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.

  • the heat exchanger assembly comprises at least one heat exchanger and a protection grid.
  • the heat exchanger comprises a plurality of tubes with open ends stacked parallelly with respect to each other, a pair of manifolds comprising tanks and headers configured to receive the open ends of the tubes.

  • the protection grid is mounted to the radiator core between the opposite first and second tanks of the radiator using side clips formed on lateral sides of the protection grid that engage with side-plates of the radiator.
  • the protection grid is positioned at the air inlet side of the radiator core, with a relatively small gap between the grid and the radiator.
  • the gap between the grid and core is relatively small, even a slight deflection of the grid is sufficient to cause the grid to strike the radiator core.
  • the gap between the radiator core and the protection grid at the centre is less, as such, the protection grid fails to protect the radiator core against damage from articles striking the protection grid.
  • the invention allows to reduce the vibrations of the protection grid. Consequently, the undesired noise coming from vibrating grid is not heard in passenger cabin anymore.
  • some elements or parameters may be indexed, such as a first element and a second element.

  • the protection grid is fixed to the heat exchanger along the second sides.
  • the protection grid comprises at least one spacing element formed on at least one of the first side of the protection grid. The spacing element is adapted to interact with the heat exchanger to deform the protection grid to a curved profile so that at least a portion of the first side is spaced away from the heat exchanger.

  • the spacing element is arranged on the first side of the protection grid, so the spacing element splits the first side into two uneven portions, both distanced from the tubes along the direction parallel to the tubes.
  • the spacing element is supported on the corresponding header of the heat exchanger, so that the first side pushes the spacing element towards the header.
  • the spacing element is supported on the corresponding tank of the heat exchanger, so that the first side pushes the spacing element towards the tank.

  • the heat exchanger such as for example, radiator generally includes a protection grid for protecting radiator core against impact from stones or any article.
  • the protection grid is generally mounted on a radiator using side clips formed on lateral sides of the protection grid that engage with side-plates of the radiator. With such configuration, the protection grid is disposed close to the radiator core, so that the stones striking the protection grid may cause the protection grid to deform and strike the radiator core and damage the radiator core.
  • the gap between the radiator core and the protection grid at the center of the protection grid is small, so the protection grid fails to protect the radiator core against damage from articles striking the protection grid and causing the protection grid to strike the radiator core. Therefore, the present invention provides an arrangement for tensioning the protection grid and pushing the protection grid or urging the protection grid away from the radiator core along the airflow direction to prevent any damage to the radiator core due to any article striking the protection grid.
