Abstract:
Heat exchanger tubes are disclosed herein. An embodiment of a heat exchanger tube includes a tube body having two opposed sides. A plurality of exterior flow passages is defined in the tube body adjacent one of the two opposed sides. A plurality of interior flow passages is defined in the tube body adjacent the plurality of exterior flow passages. The plurality of exterior flow passages has at least one of an average hydraulic diameter or an average width that is i) greater than at least one of an average hydraulic diameter or an average width of the interior flow passages and ii) less than twice the at least one of the average hydraulic diameter or the average width of the interior flow passages.
Abstract:
An improved heat exchanger (1070) for an automotive vehicle, comprising at least one end tank (1076); and at least two heat exchangers including a plurality of spaced apart extruded metal tubes (1120) with fins (34) between the spaced tubes (1120). The heat exchangers are disposed so that their respective tubes (1120) and fins are generally co-planar with each other and are connected to the end tank (1076). The heat exchanger includes bypass element (1072).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to optimized designs of heat exchangers, and, in particular, heat exchangers and assemblies comprising multi-exchangers or combo coolers comprising different heat exchangers parts or elements, and fins (43, 45, 49) or separators of different types and/or characteristics on the different tuber parts (44, 46) of the heat exchangers results. The two part heat exchanger is capable of being traversed by different fluids, and fins (43, 45, 49) differ in characteristics, such as height and pitch, to increase overall heat exchanger efficiency.
Abstract:
A heat exchanger (170), particularly for an automotive vehicle, comprising at least one end tank (172, 174); and a plurality of spaced apart metal tubes (178, 180) with fins (184) between the spaced tubes. The heat exchanger (170) may be single or multi-pass.
Abstract:
An improved heat exchanger (10) for an automotive vehicle, comprising at least one end tank (12); and at least two heat exchangers including a plurality of spaced apart extruded metal tubes (28,30) with fins (34) between the spaced tubes (28,30). The heat exchangers are disposed so that their respective tubes (28,30) and fins (34) are generally co-planar with each other and are connected to the end tank (12). In preferred embodiments, the heat exchanger may include a bypass element (1072).
Abstract:
An improved heat exchanger, and, particularly, for an automotive vehicle, is disclosed. The heat exchanger typically includes at least one end tank; and a plurality of spaced apart metal tubes with fins between the spaced tubes. The heat exchanger may be single or multi-pass. In preferred embodiments, the heat exchanger is arranged to be single pass or two-pass and has tubes or tube arrangements to improve heat transfer efficiency.
Abstract:
An heat exchanger for an automotive vehicle including at least one end tank (172, 174); and a plurality of spaced apart tubes (178, 180) with fins (184) between the spaced tubes (178, 180). The heat exchanger may be combined with single or multi-fluid heat exchanger. In preferred embodiments, the heat exchanger is arranged to have tubes (178, 180) having different hydraulic diameter.
