A heat exchanger is provided that includes a tube panel module elongated in a vertical direction and including a plurality of first tube panels and a plurality of second tube panels that are alternately arranged in a lateral direction; header panel modules respectively formed at an upper end and a lower end of the tube panel module and elongated in the lateral direction; and a header case having an open one side, providing a space therein, and covered on the one side by the header panel module such that the plurality of first tube panels and the plurality of second tube panels communicate with the space. Each first tube panel is formed by bonding a first panel and a second panel, and each second tube panel is formed by bonding a third panel and a fourth panel. The header panel modules include a first header panel formed by bending both ends of the first panel and the second panel in opposite directions, and a second header panel formed by bending both ends of the third panel and the fourth panel in opposite directions and bonded to the first header panel between every first tube panel and second tube panel.

Heat exchanger and heat exchanger manufacturing method

A heat exchanger according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a housing, a gas inflow pipe configured to flow exhaust gas in the housing and a gas exhaust pipe configured to discharge the exhaust gas to the outside of the housing, a cooling water inflow pipe configured to flow cooling water in the housing and a cooling water outflow pipe configured to flow out the cooling water heat-exchanged with the exhaust gas to the outside of the housing, a plurality of tubes extending in the housing in the longitudinal direction of the housing and through which the cooling water flowing therein through the cooling water inflow pipe flows, and a plurality of baffles which are installed in the housing to insert the plurality of tubes thereinto and which are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance and are disposed, in which the baffle may be a first curved part configured to extend to be rounded with a first curvature, a first straight part configured to extend linearly from one end part of the first curved part, a second straight part configured to extend linearly from the other end part of the first curved part, and a second curved part positioned between the first and second straight parts and configured to extend to be rounded with a second curvature, and the first straight part and the second straight part may be formed in a direction crossing each other.

Heat exchanger

A plate-type heat exchanger and a method for manufacturing same are provided. A plate-type heat exchanger includes a first plate and a second plate which have flange parts vertically adhered by an adhesive, respectively. The flange parts are formed in a stepped shape and may thus increase an area adhered to the first plate and the second plate.

Plate-type heat exchanger and a method for manufacturing same

The present disclosure relates to a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger includes: a plurality of tube panels including a tube elongated in one direction; a pair of header modules coupled to both ends of the plurality of tube panels; and a pair of header cases having an open side, providing a space therein, and having the header module inserted in the space such that the tube panels communicate with the spaces, in which the header modules is composed of a plurality of header blocks stacked and coupled to each other, and an insertion hole in which the tube panel is inserted is formed at each of the plurality of header blocks. Accordingly, it is possible to increase the efficiency of manufacturing a heat exchanger, manufacture a heat exchanger flexibly in a custom-made type in accordance with the size of a product having the heat exchanger, reduce tolerance due to brazing, and improve stability of a product.

A plate type heat exchanger includes a plate package in which a plurality of heat exchange plates is stacked to form a flow path, through which fluid flows, an end plate coupled to an outside of the plate package, and a socket connected to the plate package by passing through the end plate. The end plate includes a base which is in contact with the outside of the plate package, a socket hole which is formed through the base and into which the socket is inserted, and a ridge that protrudes outward from an edge of the socket hole of the base.

Plate type heat exchanger

An air conditioner and evaporator inlet header distributor therefor are provided. The air conditioner may include an evaporator inlet header distributor to distribute a refrigerant expanded in an expansion mechanism to a plurality of refrigerant flow paths of an evaporator. The evaporator inlet header distributor may include a distributor body, a refrigerant inlet pipe to guide refrigerant expanded in the expansion mechanism to an inside of the distributor body, a plurality of refrigerant outlet pipes to discharge the refrigerant from the distributor body into the plurality of refrigerant flow paths, and a separating plate to separate the inside of the distributor body into a header flow path connected with the plurality of refrigerant outlet pipes and a refrigerant dispersing flow path connected with the refrigerant inlet pipe to guide an upper portion and a lower portion of the header flow path by dispersing the refrigerant. Accordingly, two-phase refrigerant may be uniformly distributed to the plurality of refrigerant outlet pipes using a simple structure.

Air conditioner and evaporator inlet header distributor therefor

Provided is a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger includes a refrigerant tube through which a refrigerant flows and a fin having at least two tube through holes in which the refrigerant tube is inserted. The fin includes a fin body, a plurality of flow guide protruding from one surface of the fin body, the plurality of flow guides being spaced apart from each other, and a plane part partitioning one flow guide and the other flow guide of the plurality of flow guides, the plane part having a flat surface.

A heat exchanger and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. With the method, a tube may be inserted into a through hole formed in at least one fin coated with a filler metal, and the tube and a fin collar of the at least one fin may be joined through the filler metal by a brazing processing. A flange may not be formed on or at a top of the at least one fin collar, which protrudes vertically from a central longitudinal plane of the at least one fin. The tube may be made of aluminum (Al), and an interval between an outer circumferential surface of the tube and an inner circumferential surface of the fin collar of the at least one fin may be approximately 0.1 mm or less. Accordingly, contact resistance occurring when fabricating a fin-tube heat exchanger using a mechanical tube expansion method may be reduced, and heat transfer performance of the heat exchanger may be improved because grooves formed within the tube may not be deformed.

Method of manufacturing a heat exchanger

Provided is a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger includes a refrigerant tube through which a refrigerant flows and a fin having at least two tube through holes in which the refrigerant tube is inserted. The fin includes a fin body, a plurality of louvers protruding from a surface of the fin body, a plane part defined between the plurality of louvers, the plane part having a flat surface, and a guide part disposed on at least one side of the plane part to guide a flow of air or discharge of defrosting water.
