The present invention relates to a heat exchanger, and more particularly, to a finless heat exchanger in which beads are formed in and out of a plate to form passages of a plurality of heat exchange media.

In general, in a heat exchanger, an evaporator unit is mounted in line with a heater unit and a blower unit. The evaporator heat-exchanges the first low-temperature low-pressure first heat exchange medium in a wet-saturated vapor state introduced through the expansion process into a gas by heat-exchanging with a second heat exchange medium in the cabin and outdoors. The second exchange medium deprived of heat is changed to a low temperature and low humidity state, and is discharged into the interior of the vehicle by the blower unit to maintain the indoor environment comfortably.

This evaporator is a type of fin-tube type in which a hole is formed in a flat aluminum plate and a tube of a circular cross section is inserted therebetween, and a tube is bent into an “S” shape and a heat radiation fin is inserted therebetween. Two types of phosphorus serpentine and two sheets of steel sheet-like aluminum sheets are stacked in a row, and can be classified into a laminate type in which a pin is inserted therebetween.                         

FIG. 1 shows a plate of a laminated heat exchanger disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-205785, and FIGS. 2A to 2C show cuts along the lines I-II, II-II and III-III of FIG. will be.

Referring to the drawings, the heat exchanger includes a plurality of tubes 10 stacked in communication with each other, and a tank portion 11 formed on the upper and lower portions of the tube 10.

The tube 10 is formed by coupling a pair of plates 12 formed of a first plate 12a and a second plate 12b to each other. The plate 12 has a rib 13 formed at the center thereof so that the first heat exchange medium can flow from side to side, respectively. In addition, an inner bead 15 is provided on the inner side of one plate 12a, 12b to provide a flow passage of the first heat exchange medium in the plate 13, and on the outer side of the plate 12a, 12b between the plate and the adjacent plate. 2, external beads 16 are provided to provide flow passages of the heat exchange medium, respectively.

The inner bead 15 forms a continuous passage along its longitudinal direction along one surface of the plate 12, and protrudes in the width direction of the plate 12 at regular intervals. The outer beads 16 are brazed welded in contact with the outer surfaces of adjacent plates.

Tube 10 having such a structure has the following problems.

First, since the inner bead 15 that provides the passage of the first heat exchange medium is formed along the longitudinal direction of the plate 12, the first heat exchange medium can flow only through such a path, so that a decrease in heat transfer performance is expected. do.

Second, the external beads 16 which provide a passage of the second heat exchange medium are also communicated along the length direction of the plate 12, and mutual heat transfer is performed in a direction orthogonal to the flow direction (arrow direction) of the second heat exchange medium. As a result, a decrease in heat transfer performance is expected.

Third, the outer beads 16 are welded to each other with the outer surfaces of adjacent plates, so that the flow of the second heat exchange medium is blocked, and heat transfer is disadvantageous, and the flow resistance increases during the heat exchange.

An object of the present invention is to provide a finless heat exchanger which improves heat exchange efficiency by forming a passage through which a plurality of heat exchange media flow by forming one plate inside and outside.

The plate 36 is provided with beads 37 according to the features of the present invention over the entire surface. On the other hand, the tube 31 is provided with at least one baffle 38 for switching the flow of the heat exchange medium.

Looking briefly at the operation of the heat exchanger 30 having such a structure as shown in FIG.

The first heat exchange medium introduced from the inlet 34 flows into the stacked plate 36, and the heat transfer is promoted by the turbulence by the beads 37a protruding inward, and the beads 37b protruding outward. The second heat exchange medium is cooled by heat exchange with the first heat exchange medium together with the turbulent flow (A arrow) of the second heat exchange medium. These processes can be carried out smoothly through the heat exchange through a plurality of laminated plate (36). In addition, the flow flow is switchable by the baffle 38.

Referring to the drawings, the plate 36 includes a first plate 36a and a second plate 36b coupled to the plate 36a. Upper and lower portions of the plate 36 are provided with a plurality of tanks 32 that provide passages through which the heat exchange medium flows. In some cases, only one tank portion 32 may be formed in the upper and lower portions, and only one portion of the plate 36 may be formed.

The inner surface of the plate 36 is formed with a rib 51 for partitioning the flow path of the heat exchange medium that flows inside the pair of plates 36a and 36b. The ribs 51 protrude inwardly of the plate 36 and are formed along the longitudinal direction of the plate 36.

A plurality of internal beads 37a are provided inside the first plate 36a and the second plate 36b. The inner bead 37a protrudes toward the plate facing away from the forming surface 36c of the plate 36.

A plurality of external beads 37b are provided outside the first plate 36a and the second plate 36b. The outer bead 37b protrudes outward from the forming surface 36c toward the other pair of adjacent plates. That is, the outer beads 37b are molded in a direction opposite to the direction in which the inner beads 37a protrude from the molding surface 36c on which the inner beads 37a are formed. In addition, similarly to the internal beads 37a, a plurality of them are formed independently.

As such, the inner and outer beads 37a and 37b protrude toward opposite directions from the forming surface 36c of one plate, and are each formed independently of each other without being continuous. At this time, the inner and outer beads (37a) (37b) may have a shape of not only circular, but also oval or slot so that the flow and heat exchangeability of the heat exchange medium more efficient. In particular, when formed in an elliptical or slot shape, it may be said that being disposed on the molding surface 36c at a predetermined angle with the flow direction of the heat exchange medium can reduce the flow resistance and thus be more advantageous for heat exchange. This will be described further in FIG. 6.

That is, the bead (left bead) on the side where the heat exchange medium flows in is inclined at a predetermined angle in the clockwise direction, and on the contrary, the bead (right bead) on the side where the heat exchange medium flows out is inclined at a predetermined angle in counterclockwise direction to increase the flow resistance. It is designed to reduce heat exchange as efficiently as possible.

Meanwhile, ribs 64 are formed at a central portion of the plate 60 to partition the flow of the heat exchange medium from side to side, and the ribs 64 are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined interval, and a pair of plates and another pair adjacent thereto are provided. The diaphragm 65 protrudes many in order to maintain the distance between the plates appropriately, and to prevent deformation. The diaphragm 65 is partially disposed on the rib 64.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the plate 60 has a first plate 71 and a second plate 72 coupled to each other. As described above, the first and second plates 71 and 72 are intermittently formed by the external beads 62 protruding from the molding surface 61 and the internal beads 63 protruding into the interior. It is formed in the whole area | region of the surface 61.

At this time, the first and second plates 71 and 72 maintain a constant distance from the adjacent plates 73 and 74 installed at both sides when coupled to each other to exchange heat with the first heat exchange medium flowing in the plate. It provides a passage through which the heat exchange medium (arrow) can flow.

That is, the inner bead 75 is positioned on the plate 73 facing the outer bead 62 of the first plate 71, while the outer bead 76 is positioned at the portion opposite to the inner bead 63. have. In addition, the inner bead 77 is positioned on the plate 74 facing the outer bead 62 of the second plate 72, and the outer bead 78 is positioned adjacent to the inner bead 63.
