摘要:
The invention relates to a method for producing a heat exchanger, in particular for a motor vehicle, a method whereby fluid circulation tubes (3) are inserted into through holes in heat exchange fins (4) and the fluid circulation tubes (3) are subjected to expansion in such a way as to expand a contour (22) of said tubes (3) to ensure contact with said fins (4) at said through holes and, additionally, for at least one of said tubes (3), to deform a concave portion (24) of the contour (22) of said tube or tubes (3), in such a way as to correspondingly deform said through holes. The invention also relates to a device for implementing said method and an exchanger obtained by said method.
摘要:
According to a preferred embodiment, an improved method and apparatus for manufacturing tube and fin heat exchangers that includes a step for reducing the outer diameter of stock tubing to a value well below nominal prior to bending the tubing into hairpins. The reduced diameter increases the stiffness of the resultant hairpins and allows for efficient lacing of the heat exchanger fins and end plates. The method uses pre-size rollers that are adjustable for reducing the diameter of the tubing. The invention also includes a hairpin and heat exchanger manufactured according to the method.

The compression tool assembly (100) that is useful in connection with the removal of boiler tube (12) flared-end segments from retention within power boiler header walls is provided with oppositely paired compression jaw elements (130, 132, 134, 136) that are rotated to cause the wall of longitudinally gapped boiler tube (12) flared-end segment to be compressed into a cross-section configuration that permits comparatively easy tube segment withdrawal.
摘要:
A method of making a heat exchanger, comprising the steps of: providing a sheet (24) of deformable material; forming a plurality of generally planar plate members (26) from the sheet of material, each of the plate members being connected to an adjacent plate member by a deformable link (27,29); forming a plurality of tube members (12) by folding the plurality of plate members (26) at the deformable links so that adjacent plate members form a tube member; inserting a fin member (14) between adjacent tube members; compressing the plurality of tube members (12) and fin members under a predetermined load to form a heat exchanger core (10), including forming a plurality of folded deformable links (70,72) projecting outwardly from the core; bending the folded deformable links (70,72) against the core; and brazing the core (10) at a predetermined temperature. The present invention also provides a heat exchanger manufactured according to the above method.
摘要:
A method and tool (10) for installing a baffle (12) in a tubular member, such as a heat exchanger manifold. The method and tool are adapted to use a baffle having a closed base that acts to obstruct the flow of a fluid within the tubular member, and further having a sidewall extending axially from the perimeter of the base so as to form a recess in the baffle. The tool (10) is generally composed of a sleeve (24) having an elastically and radially deformable end, such as a number of cantilevered members adapted to be elastically bent radially outward. Radially outward deformation of the sleeve (24) enables the sleeve to securely grip the baffle (12), maintain the orientation of the baffle during its insertion into the tubular member, and then plastically deform the sidewalls of the baffle in order to secure the baffle to the wall of the tubular member.
