Definitions
- the invention relates to a tube with an oblong cross section for a heat exchanger, in particular for a motor vehicle.
- It also relates to a heat exchanger comprising a multiplicity of fins traversed by such tubes to form a bundle.
- the invention relates more particularly to a tube for a heat exchanger, suitable for passing through a multiplicity of fins by holes which the latter have and for then being applied under pressure against the edges of the holes by deformation of its wall, each hole having a oblong cross section such that the edge of the hole has longitudinal parts facing each other which are curved and have their convexity facing the inside of the hole.
- a heat exchanger is produced starting from a plurality of tubes having such an oblong cross section and a multiplicity of fins having in alignment oblong holes having the shape defined above.
- the tubes are then threaded into the aligned holes of the fins and then the tubes are deformed by expansion or expansion so as to apply them under pressure against the edges of the holes which are generally surrounded by collars.
- the clearance between the edge of the fin hole and the tube (at the rounded parts of the tube) is greater than the minimum clearance required for threading the tube through the aligned holes of the fins.
- This necking can generate the bursting of the tube during the flaring of its ends after assembly of the collectors or plates with holes which are usually provided at the ends of the bundle to receive water boxes.
- the object of the invention is in particular to overcome such drawbacks.
- a tube for heat exchanger of the type defined above, which tube has, before deformation, a cross section having a shape substantially homologous to that of the hole and comprising two longitudinal sides facing each other which are curved and have their convexity turned towards the inside of the tube, so that the tube has a restricted external width in a region where the longitudinal sides are closest to each other.
- the cross section of the tube, before deformation is substantially homologous to that of the fin hole and has a similar shape with curved longitudinal sides having a curvature in the same direction as that of the longitudinal parts of the edges of the holes.
- the clearance between the fin hole and the tube in particular at the level of the rounded parts and with a small radius of curvature of the tube, may be small, that is to say equal to the minimum clearance necessary for threading the tube through the holes in the fins.
- the tube When the tube is then deformed by expansion or expansion, it undergoes a narrow necking, in particular at its rounded ends with a small radius of curvature, which avoids any risk of subsequent bursting of the tube.
- the cross section of the tube before deformation and the cross section of the hole are chosen such that there is a play of substantially constant thickness between the edge of the hole and the tube before deformation, and this over the entire periphery of the tube.
- This play of substantially constant thickness then corresponds to the minimum play necessary for threading the tube into the aligned holes of the fins.
- the two curved longitudinal sides of the tube are connected together by two rounded parts of substantially circular shape and of selected radius.
- This radius of the rounded ends is chosen such that the relation l ⁇ 2r is verified, where l represents the restricted external width of the tube before deformation and r the radius of the rounded parts.
- This characteristic makes it possible to optimize the clearance between the tube and the fin hole and thus to reduce the expansion force and the necking of the tube.
- the radius r of the rounded ends is such that the relation r ⁇ 4e is verified, where e denotes the thickness of the wall of the tube before deformation.
- This second characteristic is the necessary condition for the tube with longitudinal sides curved inwards to have a higher coefficient of convection than that of an oval section tube having a minimum radius r.
- the invention in another aspect, relates to a heat exchanger which comprises a multiplicity of fins having holes of oblong cross section such that the edge of the hole has longitudinal parts facing each other, which are curved and have their convexity facing the inside of the hole, as well as at least one tube as defined above, the wall of which has been deformed under pressure so as to be applied against the edges of the holes.
- FIG. 1 shows part of a fin 10 of generally rectangular shape which comprises a multiplicity of holes 12 which, in the example, are arranged in a single row.
- Each of the holes 12 has an oblong cross section such that the edge of the hole has two longitudinal parts 14 located opposite one another, which are curved and have their convexity facing the inside of the hole.
- the two longitudinal parts 14 are connected by two end parts 16 of rounded shape which have a radius of curvature R of chosen value.
- the hole 12 thus has, in the region where the two longitudinal parts 14 are closest to each other, a restricted internal width L which is less than 2R.
- the hole 12 is bordered, over its entire periphery, by a collar 18 of the same shape.
- FIG. 2 represents a tube 20 according to the invention, before deformation.
- the tube 20 has an oblong cross section of shape substantially homologous to that of the hole 12, but of smaller dimension to allow the threading of the tube 20, before deformation, through the aligned holes of a multiplicity of fins 10 arranged parallel between they.
- the tube 20 is formed from a deformable metal or metal alloy and it has two longitudinal sides 22, arranged opposite one another, which are curved and have their convexity turned towards the inside of the tube.
- the longitudinal sides 22 have a curvature in the same direction as the longitudinal parts 14 of the hole 12.
- the two sides 22 are connected together by two curved parts 24 of circular shape having a radius of curvature r which is less than R.
- the tube 20 has a restricted external width l such that l ⁇ 2r.
- the tube 20 has a deformable wall 26 having a substantially constant thickness e.
- the cross section of the hole 12 and the cross section of the tube 20 are homologous and chosen so that there is a clearance j of substantially constant thickness between the edge of the hole 12 and the tube 20 before deformation, and this over the entire periphery of the tube.
- the tube 20 According to a first characteristic of the tube 20, it satisfies the relation l ⁇ 2r, which makes it possible to optimize the clearance j between the tube and the fin hole and to reduce the expansion force and the necking of the tube during its subsequent deformation.
- the tube 20 also satisfies the relation r ⁇ 4e, where e denotes, as already indicated, the thickness of the wall 26 of the tube before deformation.
- This second characteristic is a necessary condition for the tube to have a higher convection coefficient than that of an oval tube of minimum radius r.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 describe the process for manufacturing a heat exchanger according to the invention.
- the tube 20 is then threaded through the aligned holes 12 of the fins, by axial displacement of the tube in the direction of alignment of the holes. Then, the tube 20 is deformed by expansion or expansion, for example by means of a tool of the "olive" type (not shown) introduced axially into the tube.
- the tube is thus applied under pressure against the edges of the holes and against the collars of the holes.
- the tube is deformed uniformly over its entire periphery, as shown diagrammatically by the arrows in FIG. 4.
- the wall 26 of the tube thus comes to apply tightly against the collars of the fins to ensure the assembly of the tube with the fins and at the same time a good thermal bond between them.
- the invention is particularly suitable for producing heat exchangers for motor vehicles, in particular engine cooling radiators or radiators for heating the passenger compartment.
