Description

本発明は、複数の流路を備えた管体とこの管体を用いた熱交換器に関する。  The present invention relates to a tubular body having a plurality of flow paths and a heat exchanger using the tubular body.

冷媒を循環する圧縮式の冷凍サイクルは、高圧側の冷媒と低圧側の冷媒とを熱交換することにより、その冷凍効率を向上させることが可能である。一般に、このような熱交換を行う熱交換器は、複数の流路を備えた管体を用いて構成されている。下記特許文献１及び２には、この種の熱交換器が開示されている。
特許文献１ 特開２００１−９１１０３号公報
特許文献２ 特開２００４−１１６９１１号公報
さて、冷凍サイクルは、設置スペースの節約や、製造コストの更なる低減が求められており、前述したように高圧側の冷媒と低圧側の冷媒とを熱交換する熱交換器についても、簡素な構成であるとともに、より優れた性能を有するものが望まれている。
特に近年では、冷媒としてＣＯ２を採用し、放熱器の内部の圧力が冷媒の臨界点を上まわる冷凍サイクルが使用されている。このような超臨界冷凍サイクルは、非常に高い耐圧性を要し、前述した熱交換器についても、熱交換効率を向上するとともに、かかる冷媒の圧力に絶え得る構成が要求される。
一般に、熱交換器の構成部材とされる管体は、押出し成形にて製造される。超臨界冷凍サイクルの場合、管体は、耐圧性を確保するべく複数の小さな流路が密集した断面形状とするのが望ましい。ところが、そのような形状の管体は、押出し成形が困難又は不可能になるという問題がある。すなわち、押出し成形の型には、流路を成形する部分を支える繋が必要であり、それらが密集していると、流路と流路の間が埋まらなくなるという不都合が生じる訳である。熱交換器の製造現場においては、このような管体を効率よく製造する構成が求められている。
本発明は、かかる事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、現状の製造技術を踏まえつつ、複数の流路が合理的に設けられた管体とこれを用いてなる熱交換器を提供することである。A compression-type refrigeration cycle that circulates refrigerant can improve its refrigeration efficiency by exchanging heat between the high-pressure side refrigerant and the low-pressure side refrigerant. Generally, a heat exchanger that performs such heat exchange is configured using a tubular body having a plurality of flow paths. Patent Documents 1 and 2 below disclose this type of heat exchanger.
Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-91103 Patent Document 2 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-116911 Now, the refrigeration cycle is required to save installation space and further reduce manufacturing costs. The heat exchanger that exchanges heat between the refrigerant and the refrigerant on the low-pressure side is also desired to have a simple configuration and higher performance.
Particularly in recent years, a refrigeration cycle that employs CO 2 as a refrigerant and in which the pressure inside the radiator exceeds the critical point of the refrigerant has been used. Such a supercritical refrigeration cycle requires very high pressure resistance, and the above-described heat exchanger is also required to have a configuration that can improve the heat exchange efficiency and be able to withstand the pressure of the refrigerant.
Generally, a tubular body that is a constituent member of a heat exchanger is manufactured by extrusion molding. In the case of a supercritical refrigeration cycle, it is desirable that the tube has a cross-sectional shape in which a plurality of small flow paths are densely packed to ensure pressure resistance. However, the tubular body having such a shape has a problem that extrusion molding becomes difficult or impossible. That is, it is necessary for the extrusion mold to support the portion for forming the flow path. If they are densely packed, there is a disadvantage that the gap between the flow paths cannot be filled. In the manufacturing site of a heat exchanger, the structure which manufactures such a pipe body efficiently is calculated | required.
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a tubular body in which a plurality of flow paths are rationally provided and a heat exchanger using the same, based on the current manufacturing technology. Is to provide.

以下に、本発明の実施例を図面に基づいて説明する。図１に示す圧縮式の冷凍サイクル１は、自動車に搭載される車内冷房用のものであり、冷媒を圧縮する圧縮機２と、圧縮機２で圧縮された冷媒を冷却する放熱器３と、放熱器３で冷却された冷媒を減圧して膨張する減圧機４と、減圧機４で減圧された冷媒を蒸発するエバポレータ５と、エバポレータ５から流出する冷媒を気層と液層とに分離して気層の冷媒を圧縮機２へ送るアキュムレータ６と、高圧側の冷媒と低圧側の冷媒を熱交換する熱交換器１００とを備えている。
熱交換器１００は、放熱器３から減圧機４へ流れる高圧側の冷媒と、アキュムレータ６から圧縮機２へ流れる低圧側の冷媒とを熱交換するものである。冷媒としては、ＣＯ２を採用しており、放熱器３の内部の圧力は、気温等の使用条件により、冷媒の臨界点を上まわる。尚、図中の黒矢印は、高圧側の冷媒が流れる方向を示している。白矢印は、低圧側の冷媒が流れる方向を示している。
図２に示すように、本例の熱交換器１００は、第１流路２０１及び複数の第２流路２０２を備えた管体２００を用いてなるものである。管体２００の一方の端部には、第１流路２０１の入口部３００と、第２流路２０２の出口部６００が設けられている。また、管体２００の他方の端部には、第１流路２０１の出口部４００と、第２流路２０２の入口部５００が設けられている。
第１流路２０１の入口部３００から流入した高圧側の冷媒、及び第２流路２０２の入口部５００から流入した低圧側の冷媒は、熱交換をしつつ管体２００の内部を対向方向に流通し、各出口部４００，６００からそれぞれ流出する。
本例の第１流路２０１の入口部３００及び出口部４００は、第１流路２０１を連通したタンク体３１０，４１０に継手３２０，４２０を設けてなるものである。また、本例の第２流路２０２の入口部５００及び出口部６００は、複数の第２流路２０２を連通したタンク体５１０，６１０に継手５２０，６２０を設けてなるものである。管体２００の端部は、第２流路を削除する加工が施されており、第２流路２０２を連通したタンク体５１０，６１０は、その削除した部位に装着されている。
図３に示すように、本例の管体２００は、その中心に位置する第１流路２０１と、第１流路２０１の周囲に位置する複数の第２流路２０２とを備えたアルミ合金製のものである。第２流路２０２は、その流路断面積が第１流路２０１よりも小さいものであり、第１流路２０１を取り囲むように円形配列されている。
この管体２００は、第２流路２０２を設けるとともに第１流路２０１を構成する当該管体２００の内面２１１を断片的に設けた複数の押出し部材２１０を接合してなるものである。すなわち、押出し部材２１０の断面形状は、管体２００の断面形状を、第１流路２０１を含む面にて分割した形状となっている。
各押出し部材２１０は、所定の接合面２１２を互いにろう付けして接合されている。接合面２１２の間には、シート状のろう材２１３を挟み込み、ろう付けは、その組み付け体を炉中で過熱処理して行われる。或いは、誘電過熱ろう付けにてろう付けすることも可能である。
本例の管体２００は、その断面形状をそのまま押出し成形しようとすると、押出し成形の型に対するメタルの流動性の制約が大きくなる故に、成形が困難又は不可能となる。この点、本例によれば、複数の押出し部材２１０にそれぞれ第１流路２０１を構成する当該管体２００の内面２１１を断片的に設け、これを接合して第１流路２０１を構成するので、押出し成形による形状の制約が確実に緩和され、設計の自由度を向上することができる。尚、図例では２つの押出し部材を接合して管体２００を構成したが、或いは、必要に応じて３つ又はそれ以上の押出し部材を接合して構成することも可能である。
このように本例の管体２００は、超臨界状態となる冷媒に応じて所要の耐圧性を確保するべく合理的に構成してなるものであり、自動車に搭載される超臨界冷凍サイクルの熱交換器を構成する部材として極めて好適に利用することができる。尚、本例における各部の構成は、特許請求の範囲に記載した技術的範囲において適宜に設計変更が可能であり、図例したものに限定されないことは勿論である。例えば、図例では２つの押出し部材２１０を接合して管体２００を構成したが、或いは、必要に応じて３つ又はそれ以上の押出し部材を接合して構成することも可能である。
次に、本発明の第２実施例を図４に基づいて説明する。本例の場合、複数の押出し部材２１０は、ろう材をその両面にクラッドしたプレート体２２０を間に挟みつつ組み付けて、プレート体２２０のろう材にて接合した。その他の構成は、前述した実施例と同様である。このような構成によると、プレート体２２０が補強部材として作用するので、管体２００の耐圧性を確実に向上することができる。尚、プレート体２２０には、冷媒の良好な流れを確保するべく適宜間隔で孔を設けてもよい。
次に、本発明の第３実施例を図５乃至図６に基づいて説明する。本例のプレート体２２０は、管体２００の外面に当接する外面当接部２２１を設けたものである。外面当接部２２１は、プレート体２２０の幅方向端部を折り曲げてなるものである。また、この外面当接部２２１は、プレート体２２０の長手方向に亘り、各押出し部材２１０に交互に当接するように設けられている（図６参照）。押出し部材２１０は、外面当接部２２１をカシメることにより、正確且つ強固に組みつけられる。外面当接部２２１は、管体２００の外面にろう付けされる。その他の基本構成は、前述した実施例と同様である。このような外面当接部２２１によれば、管体２００の耐圧性を更に向上することが可能である。
次に、本発明の第４実施例を図７及び図８に基づいて説明する。本例のプレート体２２０は、第１流路２０１を構成する当該管体２００の内面２１１に当接する内面当接部２２２を設けたものである。内面当接部２２２は、プレート体２２０の要所を切り起こしてなるものである。また、この内面当接部２２２は、プレート体２２０の長手方向に亘り、各押出し部材２１０に交互に当接するように設けられている（図８参照）。押出し部材２１０は、内面当接部２２２にて位置合わせすることにより、正確に組み付けられる。内面当接部２２２は、第１流路２０１を構成する当該管体２００の内面２１１にろう付けされる。その他の基本構成は、前述した実施例と同様である。このような外面当接部２２１によれば、管体２００の耐圧性を更に向上することが可能である。プレート体２２０には、外面当接部２２１及び内面当接部２２２を両方設けることも可能である。尚、内面当接部２２２の形状は、任意に設定可能である。例えば図９に示すように、プレート体２２０を曲成して設けることも可能である。
次に、本発明の第５実施例を図１０に基づいて説明する。本例の管体２００は、複数の第１流路２０１を備えたものである。押出し部材２１０の断面形状は、管体２００の断面形状を、複数の第１流路２０１を含む面にて分割した形状となっている。その他の構成は前述した実施例と同様である。このように、複数の第１流路２０１を備えた管体２００を構成することも可能である。
次に、本発明の第６実施例を図１１に基づいて説明する。本例の熱交換器１００の場合、第１流路２０１の入口部３００及び出口部４００は、第１流路２０１に連通されたパイプである。第１流路２０１の両端部は、それぞれ閉鎖部材３３０，３４０にて閉鎖されている。第１流路２０１の入口部３００及び出口部４００を構成するパイプは、前述した押出し部材２１０に挟み込んでろう付けされている。また、本例の第２流路２０２の入口部５００及び出口部６００は、各タンク体５１０，６１０にそれぞれ外部コネクタ８００，７００を接続するものである。また、第１流路２０１の入口部３００及び出口部４００の先端部は、各タンク体６１０，５１０に固定されている。
第２流路２０２の出口部６００に接続されるコネクタ７００は、放熱器３から冷媒を流入する配管７１０と、圧縮機２へ冷媒を流出する配管７２０とをブロック体７３０に固定してなるものである。また、第２流路２０２の入口部５００に接続されるコネクタ８００は、減圧機４へ冷媒を流出する配管８１０と、アキュムレータ６から冷媒を流入する配管８２０とをブロック体８３０に固定してなるものである。このように、管体２００に冷媒をもたらす構成は、適宜に設計変更が可能であり、特に限定されるものではない。Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. A compression refrigeration cycle 1 shown in FIG. 1 is for in-vehicle cooling mounted in an automobile, and includes a compressor 2 that compresses refrigerant, a radiator 3 that cools refrigerant compressed by the compressor 2, A decompressor 4 that expands by decompressing the refrigerant cooled by the radiator 3, an evaporator 5 that evaporates the refrigerant decompressed by the decompressor 4, and a refrigerant that flows out of the evaporator 5 are separated into a gas layer and a liquid layer. And an accumulator 6 for sending the refrigerant in the gas layer to the compressor 2 and a heat exchanger 100 for exchanging heat between the high-pressure side refrigerant and the low-pressure side refrigerant.
The heat exchanger 100 exchanges heat between the high-pressure refrigerant flowing from the radiator 3 to the decompressor 4 and the low-pressure refrigerant flowing from the accumulator 6 to the compressor 2. As the refrigerant, CO 2 is adopted, and the pressure inside the radiator 3 exceeds the critical point of the refrigerant depending on the use conditions such as the temperature. In addition, the black arrow in a figure has shown the direction through which the refrigerant | coolant of a high voltage | pressure side flows. A white arrow indicates a direction in which the low-pressure side refrigerant flows.
As shown in FIG. 2, the heat exchanger 100 of this example uses a tubular body 200 including a first flow path 201 and a plurality of second flow paths 202. At one end of the tube body 200, an inlet portion 300 of the first flow path 201 and an outlet portion 600 of the second flow path 202 are provided. In addition, an outlet portion 400 of the first flow path 201 and an inlet portion 500 of the second flow path 202 are provided at the other end of the tube body 200.
The refrigerant on the high-pressure side flowing in from the inlet portion 300 of the first flow path 201 and the refrigerant on the low-pressure side flowing in from the inlet section 500 of the second flow path 202 make the inside of the tube body 200 in the facing direction while exchanging heat. It flows out and flows out from each exit part 400 and 600, respectively.
The inlet part 300 and the outlet part 400 of the first flow path 201 in this example are formed by providing joints 320 and 420 to tank bodies 310 and 410 communicating with the first flow path 201. In addition, the inlet portion 500 and the outlet portion 600 of the second flow path 202 of the present example are formed by providing joints 520 and 620 on tank bodies 510 and 610 communicating with the plurality of second flow paths 202.
