Protrusion forming device and method for forming protrusion part for heat exchanger

A heat exchange system for realizing an adequate heat exchange among a plural type of fluids uses a refrigerant radiator and a radiator which are combined to have one unit for enabling heat exchange between a refrigerant and a coolant, and decreases an inflow amount of the coolant flowing into the radiator when coolant temperature of the coolant flowing into the radiator is equal to or higher than a second standard temperature, which is set to be lower than a temperature of the refrigerant flowing into the refrigerant radiator, and is equal to or lower than a predetermined first standard temperature. In such manner, heat from the refrigerant is effectively transferred to an outside air by reducing an unwanted heat exchange between the refrigerant and the outside air.

Heat exchange system

A fin for a heat exchanger is joined to an outer surface of a tube, and facilitates a heat exchange between the tube and an air flowing around the tube. A sectional surface of the fin perpendicular to a flowing direction of an air has a corrugated shape that includes multiple flat portions substantially parallel to a flowing direction of the air, and a ridge portion connecting the adjacent flat portions. Multiple louvers cut in and raised from each of the flat portions at a predetermined cut-and-raised angle are disposed on the flat portion along a flowing direction of the air. A thickness of each flat portion is defined as t, a louver pitch of the louvers is defined as PL, and the thickness of each flat portion and the louver pitch satisfy a relationship of 0.035&#x2266;t/PL&#x2266;0.29.

An object of the invention is to provide an effective cooling-energy storing performance and a stable cooling-energy radiating performance and to realize a high productivity. An evaporator has a plurality of refrigerant tubes arranged at almost equal intervals to form therebetween accommodating spaces. A plurality of cooling-storage containers are arranged in some of the accommodating spaces and fins are arranged in the remaining accommodating spaces. A cooling-storage unit is formed by one cooling-storage container and two refrigerant tubes arranged at both sides of the cooling-storage container. Each of the cooling-storage container has projections extending from one wall portion to the other wall portion to form heat exchange portions. The cooling-storage container is connected to the refrigerant tubes by soldering material.

Cool-storage type heat exchanger

A heat exchanger includes a plurality of flat tubes in which a fluid flows, and a plurality of fins each of which is connected to flat surfaces of adjacent tubes to increase a heat exchange area on a side of air flowing outside of the tube. The fin includes a plate portion having a plate surface, and fin protrusions protruding from the plate surface of the plate portion. The fin protrusions are provided to be spaced from the flat surface of the tube by a predetermined distance. A flow resistance portion is provided to protrude from the flat surface of the tube toward outside by a protrusion dimension that is equal to or larger than the predetermined distance.

A cooler cools a plurality of electric parts from both sides thereof. The cooler includes a plurality of cooling units including a pair of cooling tubes for flowing coolant therethrough. A pair of cooling tubes having a flat shape is disposed to sandwich the electric part so that both sides of the electric part are cooled by a pair of cooling tubes. The cooling units are disposed to align in a stacking direction. A clearance is disposed between the neighboring cooling units in the stacking direction.

A plurality of angle portionsof the fins on an upstream side and those on a downstream side of an air flow are provided so as to be substantially symmetrical with each other. Due to this, bending forces are continuously exerted on a thin plate-like fin material in a direction where the bending deformation of the fin material is cancelled, during the fin forming process. Accordingly, when the angle portionsare formed it can be prevented in advance that the fin materialis deformed in a state where the repeated deformations of the fin materialare accumulated in the same direction.

Heat exchanger and heat transferring member with symmetrical angle portions

Fins such as corrugated fins or plate fins are formed with meandering projections. A fluid such as air strikes bent parts of the meandering projections or grooves at the back sides while flowing along the fins and becomes turbulent and therefore flows while meandering so as to be directed toward the surfaces of tubes, so flows not only contacting the front and back surfaces of the fins without leaving any dead space, but also striking the surfaces of the tubes. Due to this, no boundary layers are formed at the surfaces of the fins or tubes, so heat conduction is promoted and therefore the heat exchange efficiency between a first fluid such as a refrigerant flowing through the insides of the tubes and a second fluid such as air flowing outside is remarkably improved.

In a resinous heat exchanger, a core portion includes a plurality of heat exchanging plate portions forming inside fluid passages therein and holding portions. The heat exchanging plate portions are layered with predetermined spaces between them so that outside fluid passages are formed between the adjacent heat exchanging plate portions. The heat exchanging plate portions are held by holding portions. The heat exchanging plate portions and the holding portions are integrally formed by extrusion of a resin material. Thus, the heat exchanger is light in weight and is capable of improving productivity.

Resinous heat exchanger and a method of manufacturing the same

A laminated-type heat exchanger has plural flat tubes in which refrigerant flows and plural corrugated fins each of which is disposed between adjacent two flat tubes. In the heat exchanger, plural protrusion portions protrude from an outer wall surface of each flat tube toward the corrugated fins, so that recess portions through which air flows are provided at least between adjacent protrusion portions. The protrusion portions are provided such that air meanderingly flows through the recess portions from an upstream end side to a downstream end side of each tube in a flow direction of air.

Plural heat-exchanging plates for forming an evaporator have plural projection ribs. The projection ribs protrude toward outside of each pair of the heat-exchanging plates to form therein refrigerant passages through which refrigerant flows, and to form an air passage between adjacent pairs of the heat-exchanging plates. The projection ribs protrude from flat surfaces of the heat-exchanging plates toward the air passage to disturb a straight flow of air. The projection ribs are provided in each of the heat-exchanging plates to have a protrusion pitch (P ) between adjacent two, and the protrusion pitch is set in a range of 2-20 mm. Further, each of the heat-exchanging plates has a thickness of in a range of 0.1-0.35 mm, and a passage pitch (P ) between the refrigerant passages is in a range of 1.4-3.9 mm. Thus, in the evaporator formed by only using the plural heat-exchanging plates, a sufficient heat-exchanging performance can be obtained.

Heat exchanger only using plural plates

A pair of heat conductive plates forming an evaporator core portion has a plurality of projection ribs. The projection ribs protrude toward outsides of the pair of heat conductive plates for forming refrigerant passages thereinside. Air flows outside the heat conductive plate perpendicularly to a flow direction of the refrigerant, and is prevented from flowing straightly by the projection ribs to make a turbulent flow.
