Abstract
Description
- This invention is directed to heat exchanger fin collars, and more particularly to an improved fin collar for use in a brazed plate fin heat exchanger.
- Plate fin and tube heat exchangers are used in a wide variety of applications including, but not limited to, air conditioning and refrigeration where it is desired to exchange heat between two fluids, usually a pure liquid or a liquid undergoing a phase change to or from a gas, flowing in the heat exchanger tubes and a gas, usually air, flowing around the heat exchanger plate fins and tube exteriors. In such a heat exchanger, a plurality of thin plate fins are arranged parallel to each other between two tube sheets. Heat exchanger tubes pass through holes in the tube sheets and plate fins. There is a firm fit between the tubes and the plate fins so that the effective surface area, and thus the heat transfer area, of the heat exchanger tubes is increased by the area of the plate fins. Because of this increase in surface area, a plate fin and tube heat exchanger offers improved heat transfer performance over a plain tube type heat exchanger of the same size.
- A common method of manufacturing this type of heat exchanger is to first assemble a plurality of plate fins between two tube sheets, then lace a plurality of hair pin tubes through selected holes in the plate fins and similar holes in each of the tube sheets. Next, bells are formed in the end of hairpin tubes, then the legs of the tubes are expanded to insure a tight mechanical fit between the tubes and plate fins.
- In order to improve the thermal and structural bond resulting from mechanical joining of the tubes and plate fins, there is a need for a brazed plate fin heat exchanger with an improved braze joint at the tube-to-fin joint.
- The present invention meets the above-described need by providing a fin collar having a shape that enhances flux application and brazing clad flow into the tube-to-fin joint to provide an improved thermal and structural bond.

FIG. 1 depicts a plate fin and tube heat exchanger 10 containingplate fins 12 that embody the present invention. Each plate fin has a plurality ofholes 16. A common method of manufacturing heat exchanger 10 is to first assemble a plurality ofplate fins 12 between twotube sheets 18, then lace a plurality ofhairpin tubes 20 through selectedholes 16 in theplate fins 12 andsimilar holes 16 in each oftube sheets 18. The heat exchanger assembly is completed by fitting up a plurality ofreturn bends 22 to the ends ofhairpin tubes 20 so as to form one or more closed fluid flow paths through the tubes of the heat exchanger. - When installed and operating in a device such as an air conditioner, a first fluid, such as a refrigerant, flows through heat exchanger 10 via a fluid flow path or paths defined by interconnected
hairpin tubes 20 and returnbends 22. A second fluid, such as air, flows over and aroundplate fins 12 andtubes 20. If there is a temperature differential between the two fluids, then heat transfer from the warmer to the cooler of the two takes place through the tube walls and plate fins. - Turning to
FIG. 2 , asingle tube 20 is shown disposed through a plurality ofplate fins 12. Eachplate fin 12 is provided with anupstanding fin collar 30 disposed around theopenings 16. As shown, thecollar 30 may be curved so that aconvex surface 31 faces thetube 20. The number ofplate fins 12 that can be placed around thetube 20 is determined by the height of thecollar 30. - In order to manufacture the heat exchanger of the present invention, the
tube 20 tofin 12 joint is brazed in a controlled atmosphere braze furnace. The brazing temperatures will range between 1070° F. and 1120° F. depending on the clad used. - The
tube 20 may be constructed of an aluminum alloy that is clad or unclad. Thetube 20 may be roll formed with a welded seam or a lock seam. As an alternative, thetube 20 may be extruded. Thetube 20 may have a wall thickness of 0.016″ to 0.05″ depending on the tube diameter and the working pressure. Thetube 20 may have a cross-sectional shape that is round, circular, oval, or the like. The tube material is a long life, high strength, corrosion resistant alloy. For extruded tubes, a 3003 aluminum alloy may be used. For roll formed tube an Alcan X-1000 may be used. The clad alloys may be 4045 or 4343 aluminum alloys. - The
fins 12 andfin collar 30 may be constructed out of an aluminum alloy 3003 with a 4045 or 4343 alloy clad. If unclad, the fin may be constructed from an 1100 aluminum alloy. The fins may be constructed with a thickness of 0.003″ to 0.016″. - In addition to the aluminum alloys described above, the present invention may be used for brazing a copper fin to copper tubing or brazing an aluminum fin to copper tubing, as will be evident to those of ordinary skill in the art.
- In
FIG. 3 , a first embodiment of thefin collar 30 of the present invention is shown. A plurality ofslits 32 are disposed around the circumference of thefin collar 30. Theslits 32 may be formed by removing material from the collar and may be disposed equidistantly around the perimeter of thecollar 30. The slit may extend from thetop 43 of thecollar 30 and terminate at a point approximately 0.02″ from the underside of the fin. Theslit 32 is defined by a pair ofopposed walls walls slit 32 gradually increases from thebottom 42 of theslit 32 to thetop 43 of thecollar 30. Theslit 32 may range from 0.015″ to 0.15″ in width depending on the collar height and the number of slits. Theslits 32 improve the tube-to-fin joint both thermally and structurally. - With regard to structural properties at the joint, the
fin collar 30 of the present invention enhances the flux application and the brazing clad flow because theslits 32 allow the cladding to flow through on both sides of thecollar 30. - With regard to heat transfer performance, the
split fin collar 30 increases heat transfer between the air and tube surfaces. The slits 32 open access to a portion of the surface of theprimary tube 20 for the air flow allowing direct heat transfer from air to thetube 20 without the resistance from secondary sources. Ordinarily these portions of theprimary tube 20 would be covered by a solid fin collar. - Turning to
FIG. 4 , an alternate embodiment of the fin collar of the present invention is shown. Fin collar 40 has a rectangular-shaped slit 42. Theslit 42 is defined by abottom wall 44 and opposedside walls bottom wall 44 may extend to a point approximately 0.02″ from the underside of thefin 12. The collars 40 may have a curvature such that they have a convex shape on the side that faces thetubes 20. - In
FIG. 5 , another alternate embodiment of the fin collar of the present invention is shown.Fin collar 60 is elongated in the longitudinal (tube axis) direction. Thecollar 60 has a plurality ofslits 62 defined therein. Theslits 62 also have a rectangular shape and are defined by abottom wall 64 and a pair ofopposed side walls bottom wall 64 may extend to a point approximately 0.02″ from the underside of thefin 12. - In
FIGS. 6 and 7 , thefin collar 30 of the present invention is shown witharrows 70 representing air flow around thecollar 30 during use. The shape of thefin collar 30 provides interruptions around the circumference of thefin collar 30 perpendicular to air flow. The interruptions will provide turbulence, which is indicated bycurved lines 80, in the boundary layer of air along thefin collar 30 which will increase the rate of heat transfer between the air and thetube 20. The increased turbulence will also occur around the area near the base of thefin collar 30 in the area of highest fin efficiency, increasing heat transfer rates in that area. - While the invention has been described in connection with certain embodiments, it is not intended to limit the scope of the invention to the particular forms set forth, but, on the contrary, it is intended to cover such alternatives, modifications, and equivalents as may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
