DiPalma Attorney-Mawhinney & Mawhinney [57] ABSTRACT A method of making a heat exchanger of the kind comprising a stack of sheet metal pressings in face to face relation, adjacent pairs of pressings providing between them alternately channels for flow of coolant and spaces for the flow of air, the method consisting of cold welding the pressings together.
6 Claims, 8 Drawing Figures METHODS OF MAKING HEAT EXCHANGERS This invention relates to methods of making heat exchangers for'example for use in the coolant systems of internal combustion engines.
The invention provides a method of making a heat exchanger of the kind comprising a stack of sheet metal pressings in face to face relation, adjacent pairs of pressings providing between them alternately channels for flow of coolant and spaces for the flow of air, which method comprises joining pairs of pressings which provide between them spaces for flow of air by cold welding and then joining the thus formed pairs of cold welding to provide the channels for flow of coolant.
The cold welding of each pair of pressings and of the pairs of pressings may be carried out in a number of cold welding operations at adjacent locations.
The cold welding operations may be carried out at overlapping locations.
A fin or fins may be secured to the pressings in each air space.
Prior to the cold welding of the pressings to form pairs, a fin of wave or zig-zag form may be welded at alternate crests to the side of each pressing which bounds an air space.
The crests of the fins may be cold welded to the pressing.
The fins may be located on the pressings so that crests on the fins of adjacent pressings abut one another.
In the case where each pressing has two spaced depressions having openings in the bottom thereof, a channel connecting the two depressions and a peripheral flange extending along either side of the channel and around the depressions, pairs of pressings may first be assembled with the spaced depressions of one pressing inengagement with the spaced depressions of another pressing, the engaging depressions are cold welded together and the resulting pairs of pressings are assembled with their flanges in engagement and then the flanges are cold welded together.
The following is a description of a specific embodiment of a radiator for a motor vehicle constructed in accordance with the invention reference beingmade to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a side view of part of one of the pressings which makes up the radiator;
FIG. 2 shows the pressing with finning applied to one side:
FIG. 3 is a side view of two pressings and a tool for securing the pressings together;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of part of the tool for securing the pressings together;
FIG. 5 is a plan view of the assembly shown in FIG. 3;
FIG. 6 is a side view of two of the assemblies shown in FIG. 3 and a tool for securing them together;
FIG. 7 shows a pattern of welds which may be used, using a tool such as that of FIG. 6; and
FIG. 8 shows a further pattern of welds which may be used.
end and a channel 14 extends along the pressing between the depressions.
Referring now to FIG. 2 of the drawings finning formed by bending a thin strip 16 of aluminium into wave formation is cold welded along the spaced crests on one side of the strip to the outside of the channel 14 of the sheet 10 between the depressions 12.
As shown in FIG. 3 of the drawings two of the pressings 10 are offered up together with the spaced depressions 12 on one of the sheets in engagement with the spaced depressions 12 on the other sheets. The engaging parts of the depressions around the openings 13 are then cold welded together by a tool comprising upper and lower dies 17 and 18. The die 18, as shown in FIG. 4, is formed with a projecting ring 19 on its upper surface and the die 17 is formed with a similar projecting ring 20 on its lower surface. The lower die 18 is introduced through the open side of the depression 12 in the lower pressing and the upper die 17 is introduced through the open end of the depression 12 in the upper pressing and the dies are brought together with sufficient force to cold weld the engaged parts of the depressions trapped between the ring 19 and the ring 20 together. The engaging depressions at both ends of the pressings are welded together in this manner. The bottoms of the channels 14 of the resulting assembly are spaced apart to permit flow of air between them.
The finning formed by the bent strip 16 is located on the two pressings so that the crests on one of the strips which are spaced from the pressing abut the crests of the other strip which are spaced from the pressing to which the other strip is secured.
Two of the assemblies thus formed are then offered up together with their flanges 11 (see FIG. 5) in face to face relationship and the flanges 1 1 are cold welded together by the tool illustrated in FIG. 6 of the drawings which comprises upper and lower dies 21 and 22 which have oppositely projecting rims 23, 24. A length of the abutting flanges to be cold welded together is introduced between the rims on the dies 21, 22 as shown in FIG. 6 and a load is applied to the upper die 21 sufficient to effect cold welding of the flanges. A further length of the flanges is introduced between the dies and is cold welded and this is repeated until the entire peripheries of the flanges have been cold welded. Preferably the flanges are welded together at overlapping locations. In a modified method, illustrated in FIG. 7, the flanges 11 are first welded along the full lines 30 and then along the broken lines 31 to fonn a continuous weld. Alternatively the end parts of the flanges may be welded as shown in FIG. 8 using a modified form of the tool shown in FIG. 6 which forms U-shaped weld lines as indicated at 32, the remaining parts of the flanges being welded by a tool of the type the stack form header tanks to which supply and return conduits are connected. The channels 14 form communicating passages for flow of coolant between the two headers and cooling air passes between the spaced bottoms of the channels.
