Description
HEAT EXCHANGER
The present invention relates to a heat exchanger such as a coolant evaporator, a coolant condenser, a heater core, a radiator or an oil cooler.
Recently, thin heat exchangers having elongate cores have been used for automotive refrigeration cycles.
To reduce the pressure drop caused by the thin width of such heat exchangers, it has been necessary to change from units 111 with W-shaped tubes as shown in Fig. 17 to units 112 with U-shaped tubes as shown in
Fig. 18.
The heat exchanger having U-shaped tubes requires about twice the number of tubes compared with the heat exchanger shown in Fig. 17, to maintain the same heat exchange capacity.
Moreover, because this type of heat exchanger has elongate cores, it is more difficult to distribute the coolant uniformly to the tubes.
Non-uniform distribution of the coolant flow causes low efficiency heat exchange because the coolant flow rates and the vapor-liquid ratios of the tubes are not uniform.
To solve the above problems, the laminated coolant evaporator 100 shown in Fig. 19 distributes the coolant uniformly to the tubes to maintain efficient heat exchange.
The laminated coolant evaporator 100 is fabricated from plural elements each consisting of a pair of formed plates 104 having an inlet chamber 101 at one end of the plates 104, an outlet chamber 102 at the other end and a flow path 103 connecting both chambers 101 and 102.
Plural distribution pipes 107 are connected between the inlet chambers 101 and a throttling plate 106 at one end of a supply pipe 105 in order to distribute the coolant uniformly to the flow paths 103.
This laminated coolant evaporator, however, requires a large volume for the plural distribution pipes 107, because the evaporator has connections on the outside of the inlet chambers 101.
According to the present invention, there is provided a heat exchanger comprising: a plurality of tube elements for exchanging heat between an internal fluid and an external gas; an inlet pipe for supplying said internal fluid; and an elongate perforated pipe disposed at one end of said tube elements, the inside of said perforated pipe being divided into a plurality of flow paths, each flow path communicating with said inlet pipe and, via a respective hole in the outer surface of said perforated pipe, with a respective one of said tube elements.
Because of the perforated pipe, the heat exchanger does not require a large volume to maintain efficient heat exchange by ensuring uniform distribution of the internal fluid.
The invention will now be described by way of non-limiting embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figs. 1, 2 and 3 show the first embodiment of the present invention. Figs. 1 and 2 show a laminated coolant evaporator, and Fig. 3 shows a formed plate thereof.
The laminated coolant evaporator 1 changes the coolant from a gas-liquid mixed state into gas by exchanging heat between the coolant that flows along the flow path and the air that flows around the flow path.
The laminated coolant evaporator 1 is fabricated from plural elements each having a flow path 3 and made by bonding a pair of formed plates 2 and corrugated fins 4 welded to the outside of the formed plates 2.
Each formed plate 2 is made of thin aluminium alloy sheet by pressing it like a shallow dish.
At one end of the flow path, an inlet chamber 5 is formed and at the other end of the flow path an outlet chamber 6 is formed. The flow path is shaped like a tube 7 and connects the inlet and outlet chambers and conducts heat from the coolant to the air, or vice versa.
It is possible to form the tube and also the inlet and outlet chambers by pressing the aluminium alloy sheet.
A heat exchanger using this type of formed plate is known as a drawn cup heat exchanger.
The inlet chamber is shaped like an egg, is connected to a tube and has a cylindrical perforated pipe 9 extending through openings 8 into the inlet chamber 5.
The inside of the perforated pipe 9 is divided by partitions 11 into the same number of flow paths 10 as the number of tubes. Each flow path 10 has the same sectional area.
Note that the inlet of the perforated pipe 9 is connected to a supply pipe 13 through a throttling plate 12 for spraying coolant.
In the outer surface of the perforated pipe 9, holes 14 are drilled spirally to distribute the coolant into each inlet chamber 5 through a respective hole.
Note that it is possible to change the sectional area in order to effect a uniform pressure drop along each flow path. In this case, the sectional areas of the flow paths do not need to be uniform.
The outlet chamber 6 is also shaped like an egg and collects the coolant from the respective tube 7. A drain pipe 15 is connected to the outlet chambers 6.
The tube 7 of the formed plates 2 is shaped like an elliptical cylinder and has plural internal ribs 16.
The coolant in a gas-liquid mixed state is supplied frorn an expansion valve (not shown) and flows to the throttling plate 12 through the supply pipe 13. The coolant sprays into the inlet side of the perforated pipe 9 arranged in the plural inlet chambers 5.
The sprayed coolant is distributed uniformly to the flow paths formed in the perforated pipe 9. In other words,-the same quantity of the coolant flows along each flow path. The coolant supplied from the flow paths flows into the inlet chambers 5 through the holes 14.
Note that, as each inlet chamber 5 has its own tube 7, the coolant in each inlet chamber 5 flows into its own tube 7.
The coolant changes from a gas-liquid mixed state into a gas state because the coolant is heated by air that flows around the tubes 7, and finally all of the coolant becomes gas.
Because the coolant is distributed uniformly to the flow paths, the temperature of the air when leaving the heat exchange is also uniform, and therefore efficient heat exchange occurs.
Moreover, because the perforated pipe 9 uniformly distributing the coolant into the tubes 7 is arranged in the inlet chambers 5, the space for a distributor and/or pipes required by the conventional heat exchanger, shown in Fig. 19, is not necessary. Therefore, the volume of space required for the laminated evaporator is less than that for the conventional heat exchanger, and it is possible to arrange the laminated evaporator 1 in a narrow space such as an air-conditioning duct.
Figs. 4 and 5 show the second embodiment of the present invention.
Note that the same elements as shown in Fig. 1 have the same reference numerals.
In the second embodiment, an elliptical perforated cylinder 20 is used instead of the perforated pipe 9 used in the first embodiment. The reference numeral 21 designates flow paths formed in the elliptical perforated cylinder 20, and the reference numeral 22 is a hole for supplying a respective tube 7.
Figs. 6 and 7 show the third embodiment of the present invention.
Note that the same elements as shown in Fig. 1 have the same reference numerals.
In the third embodiment, a square perforated pipe 30 is used instead of the perforated pipe 9 used in the first embodiment. The reference numeral 31 designates flow paths formed in the square perforated pipe 30, and the reference numeral 32 is a hole for supplying a respective tube 7.
Figs. 8, 9 and 10 show the fourth embodiment of the present invention.
In the fourth embodiment, a perforated pipe 40 which swirls the coolant is installed in the inlet chambers 5. This perforated pipe 40 consists of an inner pipe 42 having a spiral channel 41 therein, a cylindrical part 44 having the same number of flow paths 43 as there are tubes 7 and a return element 45 that transfers the coolant from the inner pipe 42 to the flow paths 43. This return element 45 is brazed or welded to the cylindrical part 44 after the inner pipe 42 and cylindrical part 44 have been inserted in the openings of the inlet chambers 5 of the formed plates 2.
The coolant supplied from the inlet pipe 13 to the inner pipe 42 is swirled as it passes through the inner pipe 42. Because the coolant flowing out of the inner pipe 42 is swirled, the coolant is uniformly distributed to the flow paths 43 and flows out of holes 46 and into respective tubes 7.
In this embodiment, the throttling plate 12 used in the first embodiment is not required because the inner pipe 42 installed in the perforated pipe 40 performs the throttling function.
Figs. 11, 12 and 13 show the fifth embodiment of the present invention.
Note that the same elements as shown in Fig. 1 have the same reference numerals.
In this embodiment, a twisted perforated pipe 50 having a length L equal to the width of the laminated coolant evaporator is installed in the inlet chambers 5. The flow paths 51 in this twisted perforated pipe 50 are twisted and therefore the holes 52 can be formed in a line. The holes 52 are spaced apart by a distance e equal to the pitch of the twisted perforated pipe 50, which satisfies the following equation:
L = t x (the number of tubes 7)
The twist angle is 3600 per L, that is, 3600/(the number of tubes 7) per e.
In this embodiment, the coolant flows out of the holes 52 unidirectionally because the holes are in a line. Therefore, it is possible to make the inlet chambers smaller than in the first embodiment.
Fig. 14 shows the sixth embodiment of the present invention.
In this embodiment, the twisted perforated pipe 60 has an inner pipe having a spiral channel 61 therein, a cylindrical part having plural twisted flow paths 63 and a return element (not shown) that transfers the coolant from the inner pipe 62 to the flow paths 63.
In this embodiment, the throttling plate is not required, as was the case for the fourth embodiment.
Figs. 15 and 16 show the seventh embodiment of the present invention.
This embodiment has a corrugated-fin tube type heat exchanger 70 consisting of elliptical tubes 71 and a header 72 (the inlet chambers).
The header 72 has openings 73 into which the elliptical tubes 71 are inserted, and a twisted perforated pipe 74 is welded to the header 72.
The flow paths 75 formed in the twisted perforated pipe 74 are twisted as in the fifth embodiment, and the holes 76 are arranged in a line.
When the perforated pipe has holes in a line, it is possible to insert the tubes directly in the holes of the perforated pipe and dispense with the inlet chambers.
Though the above described embodiments concern evaporators, it is possible to apply the present invention to coolant condensers, heater cores, radiators, oil coolers and the like. The present invention can be applied to any type of heat exchanger and is not limited to the laminated type, the corrugated-fin tube type or the plate-fin tube type.
It is also possible to apply the present invention to a heat exchanger having one or more flow paths per tube, having one flow path passing through one or more tubes and/or having plural holes per tube.
It is also possible to make a perforated pipe by twisting the plural flow pipes in which the plural flow paths are formed, and it is possible to form each tube in the shape of a U.
When a pressure reducing device, such as an expansion valve, is installed near the heat exchanger (for example, a coolant evaporator), a throttling device is not necessary. Moreover, a swirling device, such as a spiral channel, can be used instead of the throttling device.
