Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un échangeur de chaleur pour l'échange de chaleur entre un premier fluide et un second fluide, comprenant un empilement de pochettes mutuellement alignées dans une direction longitudinale, et présentant deux boítes collectrices mutuellement juxtaposées dans une direction latérale, formées chacune par l'alignement, dans la direction longitudinale, de chambres d'entrée ou de sortie appartenant respectivement aux différentes pochettes, les boítes collectrices étant subdivisées dans leur ensemble en au moins trois conduites de liaison, les conduites de liaison qui appartiennent à une même boíte collectrice se succédant dans la direction longitudinale et ne communiquant pas directement entre elles, tandis que dans chaque conduite de liaison les chambres d'entrée ou de sortie communiquent mutuellement par des ouvertures ménagées dans les parois des pochettes, les pochettes définissant un parcours pour le premier fluide entre une conduite de liaison amont adjacente à une première extrémité longitudinale de l'empilement et une conduite de liaison aval adjacente à la seconde extrémité longitudinale de l'empilement, en passant alternativement d'une conduite de liaison appartenant à l'une des boítes collectrices à une conduite de liaison appartenant à l'autre boíte collectrice, par l'intermédiaire de trajets en U dont chacun relie entre elles les chambres d'entrée et de sortie d'une même pochette, les conduites de liaison amont et aval étant reliées à des passages d'entrée et de sortie prévus à l'une desdites extrémités longitudinales, l'une directement et l'autre par l'intermédiaire d'une tubulure traversant les ouvertures de la ou des conduites de liaison interposées entre cette même extrémité et ladite autre conduite de liaison.The invention relates to a heat exchanger for exchange heat between a first fluid and a second fluid, comprising a stack of mutually aligned pockets in a longitudinal direction, and having two boxes collectors mutually juxtaposed in one direction lateral, each formed by alignment, in the direction longitudinal, of entry or exit chambers belonging respectively to the different pockets, the manifolds being subdivided as a whole into at least three connecting pipes, connecting pipes that belong to the same manifold in succession in the longitudinal direction and not communicating directly between them, while in each connecting line the entry or exit rooms communicate with each other by openings in the walls of the pockets, pockets defining a route for the first fluid between an upstream connection pipe adjacent to a first longitudinal end of the stack and a downstream link adjacent to the second longitudinal end of the stack, passing alternately from a connection belonging to one of the manifolds to a connecting pipe belonging to the other manifold, via U-shaped paths, each of which connects between they the entry and exit chambers of the same pocket, the upstream and downstream connecting pipes being connected to entry and exit passages provided at one of said longitudinal ends, one directly and the other by through a tube passing through the openings of the connecting pipe or pipes interposed between the same end and said other connecting pipe.
De tels échangeurs de chaleur sont couramment utilisés en tant qu'évaporateurs dans des dispositifs de climatisation de l'habitacle des véhicules. Les pochettes sont formées chacune de deux plaques de tôle embouties en forme de cuvettes, dont les concavités sont tournées l'une vers l'autre et qui sont mutuellement reliées de façon étanche à leur périphérie, les chambres d'entrée et de sortie étant délimitées par des régions des cuvettes de plus grande profondeur que les régions restantes, de façon à réserver entre deux pochettes voisines, en regard desdites régions restantes, un intervalle pour le passage du second fluide dans la direction latérale, et lesdites ouvertures étant ménagées dans les fonds des cuvettes, qui sont en contact mutuel étanche autour des ouvertures. Les deux cuvettes de chaque pochette sont en outre reliées de façon étanche en une zone médiane de leur largeur et sur une fraction notable de leur longueur à partir d'un premier bord d'extrémité, les deux branches dudit trajet en U s'étendant de part et d'autre de ladite zone médiane, ainsi que lesdites régions de plus grande profondeur des cuvettes, disposées au voisinage dudit premier bord d'extrémité.Such heat exchangers are commonly used in as evaporators in air conditioning systems of the vehicle interior. The pockets are each formed two stamped sheet metal plates in the form of bowls, of which the concavities are turned towards each other and which are mutually tightly connected at their periphery, the entry and exit rooms being delimited by bowl regions of greater depth than remaining regions, so as to reserve between two pockets neighboring, opposite said remaining regions, an interval for the passage of the second fluid in the lateral direction, and said openings being formed in the bottoms of the cuvettes, which are in tight mutual contact around the openings. The two bowls of each pocket are in further tightly connected in a middle area of their width and over a substantial fraction of their length from a first end edge, the two branches of said path in U extending on either side of said central zone, as well as said deeper regions of bowls, arranged in the vicinity of said first end edge.
Le but de l'invention est d'améliorer les caractéristiques de fonctionnement de ces évaporateurs.The object of the invention is to improve the characteristics of operation of these evaporators.
L'invention vise notamment un échangeur de chaleur du genre défini en introduction, et prévoit que ladite tubulure est excentrée par rapport auxdites ouvertures.The invention relates in particular to a heat exchanger of the kind defined in the introduction, and provides that said tubing is eccentric with respect to said openings.
On constate que le fait de placer la tubulure dans une position excentrée plutôt que dans une position centrée améliore à la fois le rendement global de l'échange de chaleur et l'homogénéité de celui-ci dans le volume de l'échangeur, ainsi que celle de la température de l'air en sortie de l'évaporateur.It can be seen that placing the tubing in a eccentric position rather than in a centered position improves both the overall efficiency of the exchange of heat and the homogeneity of it in the volume of the exchanger, as well as that of the air temperature in outlet of the evaporator.
Des caractéristiques optionnelles de l'invention, complémentaires ou alternatives, sont énoncées ci-après:
- Les conduites de liaison sont en nombre égal dans les deux boítes collectrices, les conduites de liaison amont et aval appartenant respectivement aux deux boítes collectrices.
- Lesdites ouvertures sont allongées et la tubulure est décalée dans la direction de leur longueur par rapport aux centres des ouvertures.
- Lesdites ouvertures sont allongées dans la direction latérale et la tubulure est décalée vers l'extérieur de l'échangeur par rapport aux centres des ouvertures.
- La tubulure est en contact avec le bord de chaque ouverture, en particulier sensiblement au point de celui-ci le plus éloigné du centre.
- La tubulure présente une section circulaire qui coïncide en partie avec une portion sensiblement semi-circulaire du bord de l'ouverture.
- La tubulure alimente la conduite de liaison amont.
- La tubulure est brasée aux bords des ouvertures. On obtient dans ce cas une liaison rigide de la tubulure et des pochettes, qui réduit les bruits émis par l'échangeur par suite des vibrations et de l'écoulement du fluide.
- Les directions longitudinale et latérale sont sensiblement horizontales, les boítes collectrices étant disposées à la partie supérieure de l'échangeur.
- The connecting pipes are equal in number in the two manifolds, the upstream and downstream connecting pipes belonging respectively to the two manifolds.
- Said openings are elongated and the tubing is offset in the direction of their length relative to the centers of the openings.
- Said openings are elongated in the lateral direction and the tubing is offset towards the outside of the exchanger relative to the centers of the openings.
- The tubing is in contact with the edge of each opening, in particular substantially at the point thereof furthest from the center.
- The tubing has a circular section which partly coincides with a substantially semi-circular portion of the edge of the opening.
- The tubing supplies the upstream connection pipe.
- The tubing is brazed at the edges of the openings. In this case, a rigid connection of the tubing and the sleeves is obtained, which reduces the noise emitted by the exchanger as a result of the vibrations and the flow of the fluid.
- The longitudinal and lateral directions are substantially horizontal, the manifolds being arranged at the top of the exchanger.

L'évaporateur illustré, destiné à un dispositif de climatisation
de l'habitacle d'un véhicule automobile, comprend une
multiplicité de pochettes 1 mutuellement empilées dans une
direction longitudinale sensiblement horizontale, et formées
chacune de deux plaques de tôle embouties en forme de
cuvettes 2 et 3. Ces dernières sont identiques entre elles et
ont leurs concavités tournées l'une vers l'autre, soit
respectivement vers des seconde et première extrémités
longitudinales 5, 4 de l'empilement. Chaque cuvette présente
un bord périphérique 6 situé dans un plan vertical, et les
bords périphériques 6 des deux cuvettes formant une pochette
sont mutuellement assemblés de façon étanche au fluide, par
brasage, pour délimiter le volume intérieur de la pochette.
Chaque cuvette présente en outre, à sa partie supérieure,
deux régions 7 d'une profondeur plus grande que celle de la
région restante 8, cette dernière occupant la majeure partie
de la hauteur de la cuvette, au-dessous des régions 7. Ces
deux régions de plus grande profondeur de chaque cuvette,
juxtaposées de la gauche vers la droite des figures, définissent
dans chaque pochette une chambre d'entrée et une chambre
de sortie pour le fluide réfrigérant. La chambre d'entrée et
la chambre de sortie de chaque pochette sont séparées l'une
de l'autre par une zone de jonction étanche 9 entre les deux
cuvettes à mi-largeur de la pochette, cette zone de jonction
se raccordant au bord 6 à l'extrémité supérieure 10 de la
pochette et se prolongeant vers le bas jusqu'au voisinage de
l'extrémité inférieure de la pochette de façon à définir dans
celle-ci, en regard des régions 8 des cuvettes, un trajet en
U pour le fluide entre la chambre d'entrée et la chambre de
sortie. Le fond de chaque cuvette est traversé, dans chacune
des régions 7 de plus grande profondeur, par une ouverture 11
et les fonds tournés l'un vers l'autre d'une cuvette 2 et
d'une cuvette 3 adjacentes sont mutuellement liés de façon
étanche autour des ouvertures, par brasage. The illustrated evaporator, intended for an air conditioning system
of the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, includes a
L'alignement des chambres d'entrée/sortie situées du côté
gauche des figures forme une boíte collectrice 16, et
l'alignement des chambres d'entrée/sortie situé sur le côté
droit forme une boíte collectrice 17. La boíte collectrice 16
est subdivisée par une cloison transversale 18 en une
conduite de liaison 12 s'étendant de cette cloison à l'extrémité
4 de l'empilement et une conduite de liaison 14 s'étendant
de la cloison à l'extrémité 5. De même, une cloison
transversale 19, plus éloignée de l'extrémité 4 que la
cloison 18, sépare la boíte collectrice 17 en une conduite de
liaison 13 adjacente à l'extrémité 4 et une conduite de
liaison 15 adjacente à l'extrémité 5. Des plaques d'extrémités
20 et 21 sont brasées aux fonds des cuvettes 2,3 situées
aux extrémités 4,5 de l'empilement respectivement de manière
à obturer les ouvertures 11 de ces cuvettes, et contribuent
à délimiter les conduites de liaison. Les chambres d'entrée/sortie
formant une même conduite de liaison communiquent
entre elles par les ouvertures 11 des cuvettes 2,3.The alignment of the inlet / outlet chambers located on the side
left of the figures forms a
Une tubulure d'entrée 22 s'étend sur toute la longueur de la
conduite de liaison 14 et traverse de manière étanche la
plaque d'extrémité 21 et la cloison intermédiaire 18,
auxquelles elle est brasée, de manière à mettre en communication
la conduite de liaison 12 avec la partie du circuit de
fluide réfrigérant située en amont de l'évaporateur. Une
tubulure de sortie 23 traverse également la plaque 21 et
débouche dans la conduite de liaison 15, de manière à mettre
celle-ci en communication avec la partie aval du circuit.An
Le fluide réfrigérant pénétrant dans la conduite de liaison
12 par la tubulure 22 passe ensuite dans la conduite de
liaison 13, en empruntant, en parallèle, les trajets en U
d'un premier groupe de pochettes. Il est ensuite transféré à
la conduite de liaison 14, par l'intermédiaire des trajets en
U d'un second groupe de pochettes, puis à la conduite de
liaison 15, par l'intermédiaire des trajets en U d'un
troisième et dernière groupe de pochettes. Le fluide quitte
enfin l'évaporateur par la tubulure 23. Lors de la circulation
dans les trajets en U, le fluide reçoit de la chaleur
d'un flux d'air qui traverse l'évaporateur horizontalement de
la droite vers la gauche, selon la flèche F1, en passant par
les intervalles qui séparent les pochettes en regard des
régions 8 des cuvettes.The refrigerant entering the
Selon l'invention, la tubulure 22 est décalée par rapport aux
centres des ouvertures 11 des cuvettes qui définissent la
boíte collectrice 16. Dans l'exemple illustré, la tubulure
est décalée vers la gauche, c'est-à-dire vers l'aval par
rapport au flux d'air F1. Plus particulièrement, le contour
de chaque ouverture 11 a une forme ovale et est composée de
deux segments de droite horizontaux 30 et de deux demi-cercles
31 dont les concavités sont tournées l'une vers
l'autre et qui sont tangents aux segments 30. La tubulure 22
a un diamètre extérieur égal au diamètre des demi-cercles 31
et vient s'appuyer sur le bord des ouvertures qu'elle
traverse, et est brasée à ce bord, sur toute la longueur du
demi-cercle 31 situé à gauche.According to the invention, the
En variante, on peut envisager que le diamètre de la tubulure
22 soit inférieur à celui des demi-cercles 31, le contact
étant alors sensiblement ponctuel.As a variant, it can be envisaged that the diameter of the
Sur chacune des figures 3 et 4, la courbe en trait pointillé
et la courbe en trait plein sont relatives respectivement à
l'évaporateur illustré et à un évaporateur différant de
celui-ci par le fait que l'axe de la tubulure 22 passe par
les centres des ouvertures qu'elle traverse. Les courbes de
la figure 3 et celles de la figure 4 montrent respectivement
la puissance calorifique échangée en kW et la température de
l'air sortant en °C, en fonction du débit d'air en kilogrammes/heure
traversant l'évaporateur, la température de l'air
entrant étant 30 °C.In each of Figures 3 and 4, the dotted line curve
and the solid line curve respectively relate to
the illustrated evaporator and to an evaporator different from
this by the fact that the axis of the
On constate une amélioration significative des performances de l'évaporateur grâce à l'invention.There is a significant improvement in performance of the evaporator thanks to the invention.
La disposition selon l'invention améliore également l'homogénéité de l'échange de chaleur dans le volume de l'évaporateur, et par conséquent l'homogénéité de la répartition de température au sein du flux d'air sortant de celui-ci, avec atténuation des phénomènes de points chauds et de points froids.The arrangement according to the invention also improves the homogeneity heat exchange in the evaporator volume, and therefore the homogeneity of the distribution of temperature within the air flow leaving it, with attenuation of the phenomena of hot spots and points cold.
Par ailleurs, le brasage de la tubulure aux bords des ouvertures, sur une longueur importante de ceux-ci, entraíne une rigidification et une réduction des bruits de fonctionnement.In addition, the brazing of the tubing at the edges of the openings, over a significant length thereof, causes stiffening and reduction of operating noise.
Bien que la disposition particulière décrite conduise à des performances optimales, il est possible de s'en écarter tout en bénéficiant de l'invention. Ainsi, la tubulure peut être partiellement décalée par rapport aux centres des ouvertures sans atteindre les extrémités latérales de celles-ci. Elle peut être décalée vers le milieu de la largeur de l'évaporateur, et non vers l'extérieur. Elle peut être décalée vers l'aval par rapport au flux d'air, ou transversalement par rapport à celui-ci. Elle n'est pas nécessairement brasée au bord des ouvertures. La tubulure décalée selon l'invention peut être une tubulure de sortie en communication avec la conduite de liaison aval. Il est également possible de prévoir un nombre impair de conduites de liaison, l'entrée et la sortie du fluide s'effectuant du même côté de l'évaporateur, gauche ou droit par référence aux figures 1 et 2.Although the particular arrangement described leads to optimal performance, it is possible to deviate from it benefiting from the invention. So the tubing can be partially offset from the centers of the openings without reaching the lateral ends thereof. She can be offset towards the middle of the width of the evaporator, and not outwards. It can be shifted to downstream with respect to the air flow, or transversely with compared to this one. It is not necessarily soldered to edge of openings. The offset tubing according to the invention may be an outlet pipe in communication with the downstream link pipe. It is also possible to provide an odd number of connecting pipes, the inlet and the fluid outlet being carried out on the same side of the evaporator, left or right with reference to Figures 1 and 2.
L'évaporateur peut par ailleurs fonctionner dans une orientation dans l'espace différente de celle décrite.The evaporator can also operate in one orientation in the space different from that described.
