Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heat exchanger pipe and a heat exchanger incorporating such pipes.
  • the invention applies to all heat exchangers, in particular those used in motor vehicles, such as heating radiators or air conditioning evaporators in motor vehicles.
  • Pipes formed from a metal strip bent about itself to define an internal volume of the pipe are known in this field.
  • the pipe includes two longitudinal walls opposing one another across the internal volume of the pipe and two lateral walls connecting the longitudinal walls.
  • This type of pipe raises the problem of preventing the deformation of the walls under the pressure of the fluid flowing through the pipes, such deformation placing the pipe under stress that may lead to a leak.
  • the purpose of the invention is to overcome this drawback.
  • a heat exchanger pipe comprising a strip bent about itself such as to define an internal volume of the pipe, said strip comprising first and second edge portions joined such as to divide said internal volume into at least two channels.
  • said first edge portion has two distinct parts, referred to as first and second contact parts, in contact with the second edge portion and a third contact part, located between said first and second contact parts, said third contact part being in contact with a zone of the strip opposite the second edge portion across the internal volume of the pipe.
  • the second edge portion is flat. Consequently, it is not necessary to perform a specific bending and/or stamping operation to obtain the second edge portion.
  • the first contact part and the second contact part are flat.
  • the contacts between the second edge portion and firstly the first contact part and secondly the second contact part are flat-on-flat contacts, optimizing the link between these elements.
  • the pipe has two flat walls opposite one another across the internal volume, the second edge portion defining a part of one of said walls.
  • the first contact portion is therefore in contact with the two flat walls.
  • the first edge portion also includes a shoulder oriented towards the inside of the pipe such that a distal extremity of the second edge portion is arranged to face the shoulder.
  • said first contact part is linked to said third contact part by means of a first inclined leg and said second contact part is linked to said third contact part by means of a second inclined leg.
  • the first inclined leg, the third contact part and the second inclined leg are arranged consecutively and form a “V” shape in a plane perpendicular to the axis of longitudinal extension of the pipe.
  • the “V” shape will be more or less open as a function of the gradient of each leg from vertical.
  • the distance between the two flat walls is less than or equal to 1.5 mm, and in particular less than or equal to 1.0 mm.
  • the distance is measured along an axis perpendicular to the planes containing the two flat walls.
  • the third contact part is located in a central zone of the pipe.
  • the channels defined inside the pipe on either side of the first edge portion have substantial identical cross sections.
  • said strip has portions that come into contact with parts of the strip opposing one another across the internal volume of the pipe to define supplementary channels.
  • said strip has stamped portions that may or may not come into contact with the parts of the strip opposing one another across the internal volume of the pipe.
  • the stamped portions thus create disturbances in the fluid flow inside the pipes, in particular to improve the efficiency of the heat exchange between the two fluids flowing through the exchanger.
  • the invention also relates to a heat exchanger including at least one pipe according to any one of the preceding claims.
  • FIG. 1 is an overview of a radiator for which a pipe according to the present invention is intended.
  • FIG. 2 shows a pipe according to the invention, along the cross section II-II in FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2 showing in detail a first and a second edge portion of the strip used to define the pipe.
  • FIG. 4 is a worm's eye view of a pipe according to the invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4 showing an alternative embodiment.
  • FIG. 6 is a partial view of an alternative embodiment of the pipe in FIG. 4 .
  • the invention may be used in a heat exchanger 1 as shown in FIG. 1 .
  • a passenger-compartment heater of a motor vehicle It includes a set of parallel tubes 2 .
  • Each tube 2 has a first extremity 2 A′ and a second extremity 2 A′′ each attached sealingly to manifold chambers, in this case respectively an input chamber 3 and an output chamber 4 according to the flow direction of a heat transfer fluid flowing through the pipes 2 .
  • An inlet flange 5 and an outlet flange 6 are added to these manifold chambers 3 , 4 respectively.
  • the pipes 2 through which the heat transfer fluid flows extend longitudinally along an axis A, referred to as the axis of longitudinal extension A of the pipe 2 .

  • the pipe 2 also includes two sidewalls, referred to as the left wall 13 located on the left in FIG. 2 and the right wall 14 located on the right in FIG. 2 , linking the two flat walls 11 , 12 together.
  • the sidewalls 13 , 14 are in particular semi-circular such that the pipe 2 has a substantially oblong cross section.
  • the thickness of the walls of the strip 9 is for example between 0.15 and 0.3 mm, in particular 0.2 mm.
  • the strip 9 has an internal face oriented towards the internal volume 10 of the pipe 2 and an external face oriented towards the outside of the pipe 2 .
  • the external face of the strip 9 may be covered with a fusible alloy intended to sealingly braze the pipe 2 to other elements of the heat exchanger, such as the inserts and/or the manifold chambers, and to braze different parts of the pipe together, as set out in greater detail below.
  • the internal face of the strip 9 may have a corrosion-resistant coating to limit the risk of leaks caused by corrosion inside the pipe 2 . It may also have a fusible alloy, covering the corrosion-resistant coating, used to braze certain zones of the internal face of the strip 9 together.
  • the strip 9 also includes a first edge portion 15 and a second edge portion 16 joined together to divide the internal volume 10 into at least two channels along all or part of the length of the pipe 2 .
  • the first side 41 of the pipe 2 is the side of the pipe 2 located between the first edge portion 15 and the left wall 13 and the second side 42 of the pipe 2 is the side between the first edge portion 15 and the right wall 14 .
  • the strip 9 also has folds 17 , in particular two folded portions 17 , located on the flat walls and coming into contact with the parts of the strip 9 opposing one another across the internal volume 10 such as to improve the mechanical strength of the flat walls 11 , 12 of the pipe 2 .
  • folded portions 17 are located along all or part of the length of the pipe 2 and help to define supplementary channels in addition to the two channels defined by the edge portions 15 , 16 .
  • the pipe 2 is thus divided into four channels.
  • one of the two folded portions 17 is located on the first side 41 of the pipe 2 on the upper wall 12 , while the other is located on the second side 42 of the pipe 2 on the lower wall 11 .

  • the third channel 33 is the channel located between the folded portion 17 on the lower wall 11 and the first edge portion 15
  • the fourth channel 32 is the channel located between the right wall 14 and this folded portion 17 .
  • the strip 9 includes stamped portions 27 , 28 formed by unbroken and/or discontinuous stamping. These stamped portions may come into contact with the parts of the strip 9 opposing one another across the internal volume 10 of the pipe 2 . In this case, they are referred to as stamped touching portions 27 .
  • stamped touching portions 27 In FIG. 2 , two examples of stamped touching portions 27 coming from a flat wall of the pipe and linked to the opposing flat wall are shown in the first channel 30 and the fourth channel 32 . Two stamped touching portions 27 can also be arranged opposite and in contact with one another, as in the third channel 33 .
  • Other stamped portions 27 , 28 may not come into contact with the parts of the strip 9 opposing one another across the internal volume 10 of the pipe 2 , in which case they are referred to as free stamped portions 28 .
  • Two examples of free stamped portions 28 are shown in FIG. 2 in the second channel 31 . These free stamped portions 28 may be located on the lower wall 11 and/or on the upper wall 12 . They may be located opposite one another across the internal volume 10 or not.
  • the first edge portion 15 , the folded portion or portions 17 and the stamped portion or portions 27 , 28 are obtained, for example, by bending and/or stamping.
  • FIG. 3 is a more detailed view of the zone of the pipe 2 in which the first and the second edge portions 15 , 16 are joined.
  • the first edge portion 15 is inside the pipe 2 .
  • the first edge portion 15 has a first contact part 18 that is in particular flat and in contact with the second edge portion 16 .
  • a first inclined leg 19 inclined in relation to vertical, extends the first contact part 18 to a third contact part 20 , in contact with the internal face of the upper wall 12 opposite the second edge portion 16 across the internal volume 10 of the pipe 2 .
  • the first edge portion 15 then extends by means of a second leg 21 , inclined in relation to vertical, and ends with a second contact part 22 , that is for example flat and in contact with the second edge portion 16 .
  • the third contact part 20 is located between the first and second contact parts 18 , 22 and in particular between the first and second inclined legs 19 , 21 . This increases the mechanical strength of the pipe.

  • the first inclined leg 19 , the third contact part 20 and the second inclined leg 21 make a “V” shape in a cross section made in a plane perpendicular to the axis of longitudinal extension A of the pipe 2 .
  • the height of the pipe 2 thus depends on the gradient of the inclined legs 19 , 21 in relation to vertical such as to flatten the “V” shape.
  • This makes it possible to obtain an internal height of the pipe 2 i.e. a distance between the internal face of the lower wall 11 and the internal face of the upper wall 12 , that is less than 1.5 mm, and in particular less than 1.0 mm, while guaranteeing sufficient mechanical support of the walls of the pipe 2 to withstand the pressure exerted by the fluid flowing through the pipes 2 .
  • the second edge portion 16 is flat, and is in particular part of the low wall 11 . This facilitates the brazing between the second edge portion 16 and the first and third contact parts 18 , 22 , which are also flat. Moreover, the face of the first and third contact parts 18 , 22 in contact with the second edge portion 16 is covered with the fusible alloy, as explained above, which helps to improve the quality of the bond between the first and the second edge portions 15 , 16 . Furthermore, in this arrangement, the face of the first edge portion 15 designed to be in contact with the heat transfer fluid flowing through the inside of the pipe 2 is in this case coated with the corrosion-prevention material and possibly the fusible alloy as explained above.
  • first and second edge portions 15 , 16 are joined around the central zone of the pipe.
  • the third contact part 20 is located in the middle of the pipe 2 such that the first edge portion 15 and the second edge portion 16 divide the pipe 2 into two channels having a substantially identical cross section. These channels of identical cross section may also be subdivided, as seen previously, by the folded portions.
  • the first edge portion 15 also includes a shoulder 23 oriented towards the inside of the pipe 2 such that a distal extremity 24 of the second edge portion 16 is arranged to face the shoulder 23 .
  • the shoulder 23 thus includes a first fold 25 oriented towards the inside of the pipe 2 and a second fold 26 oriented towards the second edge portion 16 such that the first contact part 18 of the first edge portion 15 can be in contact with the second edge portion 16 .
  • FIG. 4 shows the external face of the lower wall 11 of an alternative embodiment of the pipe.
  • the third contact part 20 is shown using a dotted line.
  • the heat transfer fluid flows in a U-shaped loop inside the pipe 2 .
  • This type of pipe 2 is intended to be installed in a heat exchanger with just one manifold chamber (not shown) located on the side of the first extremity 2 A′ and including partitions enabling it to be partitioned. More specifically, the partitions of the manifold chamber separate the incoming heat transfer fluid from the outgoing heat transfer fluid in a single pipe 2 .
  • the heat transfer fluid thus passes from a first compartment of the manifold chamber to the inside of the first side 41 of the pipe 2 . It then flows along the axis of longitudinal extension A to the second extremity 2 A′′ of the pipe 2 , then in the opposite direction for the second side 42 of the pipe as far as a second compartment of the manifold chamber.
  • the pipe 2 includes two unbroken stamped touching portions 27 on a longitudinal portion of the pipe, said first longitudinal portion 51 extending along most of the length of the pipe 2 , from the first longitudinal extremity 2 A′ such that the two unbroken stamped portions 27 define the channels 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 with the first edge portion 15 .
  • the pipe 2 also includes discontinuous stamped touching portions 27 located in a second longitudinal portion 52 of the pipe 2 that extends the first longitudinal portion 51 to the second extremity 2 A′′.
  • the discontinuous stamped portions 27 are, for example, located in the extension of the unbroken stamped portions 27 .
  • the discontinuous stamped portions 27 thus create flow passages for the fluid between the first channel 30 and the second channel 31 and between the third channel 33 and the fourth channel 32 .
  • the third contact part 20 extends in this case unbroken along the first longitudinal portion 51 of the pipe 2 .
  • the portions of the third contact part 20 are discontinuous, such as to create fluid windows between the first and second channels 30 , 31 and the third and fourth channels 33 , 32 .
  • the fluid can then pass from the first side 41 to the second side 42 of the pipe 2 .
  • These discontinuous portions of the third contact part 20 can be obtained by stamping once the first edge portion 15 has been formed. They can also be formed by slotting prior to formation of the first edge portion 15 . In this case, by forming the first edge portion 15 , the zones in which the slots are located form the windows that enable the heat transfer fluid to pass from the first side 41 to the second side 42 of the pipe 2 .
  • the heat transfer fluid passes from the first side 41 to the second side 42 and then passes through the pipe 2 in the opposite direction before being outputted from the first extremity 2 A′ and entering the partitioned manifold chamber.
  • the third contact part 20 and the two folded portions 17 are unbroken and extend from the first longitudinal extremity 2 A′ to the second longitudinal extremity 2 A′′.
  • the heat exchanger in which the pipe 2 is intended to be installed is in this case provided with two manifold chambers (not shown), a first partitioned manifold chamber located at the first longitudinal extremity 2 A′ and a second manifold chamber located at the second longitudinal extremity 2 A′′.
  • the heat transfer fluid returns via the first manifold chamber at the first longitudinal extremity 2 A′ to the inside of the first and second channels 30 , 31 . It passes through the pipe 2 and is outputted from the second longitudinal extremity 2 A′′ into the second manifold chamber. It passes into the third and fourth channels 33 , 32 of the same pipe 2 . The heat transfer fluid then passes through the pipe 2 in the other direction before being outputted from the first longitudinal extremity 2 A′ and entering the first manifold chamber. The partitions of the first manifold chamber then direct it to an output orifice.
  • FIG. 6 is an example embodiment in which the strip 9 includes stamped touching portions 27 , in particular four stamped portions 27 located around the first longitudinal extremity 2 A′ and/or the second longitudinal extremity 2 A′′. These stamped portions 27 are arranged such as to reinforce the flat walls of the pipe 2 close to the extremity or extremities 2 A′, 2 A′′. This ensures the good mechanical strength of the pipes 2 when the extremities of the pipes 2 are inserted into the manifold chamber or chambers.
  • the first contact part 18 and the second contact part 22 are unbroken along the pipe, while the third contact part 20 may also be unbroken along the entire length of the pipe or be discontinuous.
  • the dotted lines 60 perpendicular to the axis of longitudinal extension A and close to the extremities 2 A′, 2 A′′ of the pipe 2 delimit therewith a zone of the pipe 2 intended to be inserted in the manifold chamber or chambers.
