Definitions

  • This invention refers to heat exchangers whose principle may also be applied to radiators for motors of vehicles and for similar purposes.
  • the heat exchanger according to the present invention is in particular characterized by a casing divided into two conduits (or groups of conduits) of constant cross-sectional area throughout deflned by a separation wail or partition connecting the inlets and outlets for the fluids providing an even surface thereat, and further ofiering longitudinal undulations or folds the amplitude of which increases from the ends-towards the middle of the heat exchanger, although on either side of said separation wall constant cross-sectional areas of the two conduits are maintained through which the two fluids pass.
  • the inlets and outlets of the fluids are separated only, as indicated herein above, by even portions of the separation partition in order to avoid losses of heat and to retain a constant speed of the fluids in circulation in the exchanger.
  • two conduits offer visual cross-sectional changes while the cross-sectional area remains constant along its whole length.
  • the walls of the undulations are corrugated crosswise to the longitudinal direction of said walls.
  • flns are provided which are joined to the walls of the longitudinal undulations.
  • the aforesaid wall or partition of the casing may be composed of separate members which are assembled to form a unitary structure.
  • Fig. 1 shows diagrammatically a vertical section of a heat exchanger according to the invention.
  • Figs. 2, 3 and 4 are cross sections taken, respectively, on section lines IIII, IIIIII and IV-IV of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4 illustrating a modification of the invention.
  • Fig. 6 is a cross section of another form of embodiment of the invention.
  • the exchanger comprises a casing or box I of any desired shape, at the ends of which are located the inlets 3 and 5 and the outlets 2 and 4 of the two fluids participating in the thermic exchange.
  • the inlet passage sections of the fluids are not of the same size and each fluid passes during its flow through the heat exchange apparatus through a conduit having a section equal to the dimension of its inlet section but different from the conduit section of the other fluid.
  • the wall of separation of the fluids, to permit the exchange of heat may be constituted, as shown in Fig. 4, by a wall of metal sheets 6 suitably bent and wave-shaped in cross-section in such a manner as to form passages I for one of the fluids and 8 for the other, the fluid cross-sectional area of said passages corresponding to the inlet and outlet cross-sectional areas.
  • said wall will connect up with the circulation pipe system by a progressive reduction of the undulations of the separation wall made of sheet metal, said progressive reduction going so far as to render, it perfectly even at the point of junction of the pipe system with the casing which encloses the heat exchanger.
  • Fig. 2 has been represented a section according to section line 11-11 of Fig. 1 showing a reduced undulation of the sheet metal wall 6 and in Fig. 3 is represented a section. taken according to section line III--III of Fig. 1 where the undulations of wall 6 are more pronounced and resemble more closely those of Fig. 4.
  • a constant cross-sectional flow area of one or the other of the fluids is thus obtained, and changes of direction are obviated b preserving substantially rectilinear paths and by avoiding all turbulence.
  • FIG. 5 A modification of the embodiment of the invention is indicated in Fig. 5.
  • the wall of separation of the fluids is constituted by separate parts, such as 9, forming in assembled condition longitudinal U-shaped corrugations which may be provided, as indicated at In, with folds or undulations increasing the heat exchange surface, these separate parts or members being reinforced by said folds.
  • connection of the aforesaid parts with the outer walls of the casing or box of the heat exchanger is in no way indispensable, except at the junction i l.
  • FIG. 6 Another embodiment of the invention is shown in section in Fig. 6 and indicates that to the central exchange or separation wall 9 forming the central portion of the heat exchange system, metal strips i2, it of zlg zag shaped formation log fins are added in such a manner as to increase the area of the heat exchange surfaces considerably.
  • said fins will be limited to that part of the exchanger where the wall is not distorted to approximate an even wall at the inlets and outlets of the fluids.
  • metals of great calorific conductibility will preferably be selected, for instance aluminium, which moveover lends itself readily to all folds and similar shaping.
  • a heat exchanger comprising a casing of constant cross-sectional area, and a partition extending longitudinally of said casing and dividing the interior of said easing into two conduits each of constant cross-sectional area throughout the length of the casing, said partition being composed of a plurality of individual longitudinal sections wave-shaped in cross-section, positioned side by side and secured together at their extremities, whereby a partition, undulated in crosssection is formed, the height of said sections being greatest at the center of the casing and diminishing towards the ends thereof, at least some of said sections being provided with straight corrugations extending longitudinally of said casing, said corrugations being further defined as comprising zig-zag shaped members secured to both sides of the central portion of the respective section.
