Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a plate for a heat exchanger tank and more particularly to a plate for a heat exchanger tank having integrated fluid turbulation features.
- Heat exchanger tanks are designed to transport a heat transfer fluid, such as in a motor vehicle for example. Typically, opposed plates carry the fluid such as oil, for example, in passageways formed therebetween. It is known to provide corrugated fins between pairs of plates, wherein the fins act as a turbulator to increase the heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger.
- One known method of making such a construction is to physically insert a corrugated fin between the plates after the plates have been manufactured. This has proved to be a difficult process since the corrugated fins are extremely thin and subject to deformation and damage during the insertion process. Further, inserting the fins can be a time consuming and costly process.
- It is also known to provide beaded plates for heat exchangers, wherein the beads define a plurality of passageways between adjacent plates for the passage of a fluid therethrough. An example of the beaded plates is disclosed in commonly owned U.S. Pat. No. 6,364,006, hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The beaded plates increase the surface area of conductive material available for heat transfer and cause turbulence of the fluid carried between the plates. Prior art plates include a plurality of beads formed thereon. The beads of the plates contact each other and are bonded together to force the flow of fluid therearound. The beads are aligned in rows, wherein a first row has an “A” pattern and the adjacent row has a “B” pattern. The rows are repeated in an A-B pattern, in which the beads in the A rows are aligned longitudinally or downstream from each other and the beads in the B rows are aligned longitudinally or downstream from each other.
- Although the above heat exchangers have worked well, it is desirable to eliminate the use of a turbulator between plates of a heat exchanger. It is also desirable to provide beaded plates for a heat exchanger wherein a turbulation of fluid flowing on both sides of the plate is caused to enhance heat transfer between the fluids.
- It is therefore considered desirable to produce a beaded plate for a heat exchanger tank, wherein the walls of the plate include integrated fluid turbulation features formed thereon for maximizing a turbulation of fluids flowing through the tank on both sides of the plate.
- Harmonious with the present invention, a beaded plate for a heat exchanger tank, wherein the walls of the plate include integrated fluid turbulation features formed thereon for maximizing a turbulation of fluids flowing through the tank on both sides of the plate, has surprisingly been discovered.
- In one embodiment, a plate for a heat exchanger comprises: an elongate first main body having a first surface, a second surface, and a lip extending laterally outwardly from a peripheral edge of the main body; a plurality of spaced apart first beads formed on the second surface of the plate, wherein a depth of the lip is larger than a depth of the first beads; and a plurality of spaced apart second beads formed on the first surface of the plate.
- In another embodiment, a stack for a heat exchanger comprises: a first plate having a first surface and a second surface, the second surface including a laterally outwardly extending lip and a plurality of spaced apart first beads formed thereon, the first surface including a plurality of spaced apart second beads formed thereon, wherein a depth of the lip is larger than a depth of the first beads; and a second plate having a first surface and a second surface, the second surface including a laterally outwardly extending lip and a plurality of spaced apart first beads formed thereon, the first surface including a plurality of spaced apart second beads formed thereon, wherein a depth of the lip is larger than a depth of the first beads, wherein the lip of the first plate is connected to the lip of the second plate.
- In another embodiment, a stack for a heat exchanger comprises: a plurality of plates having first surfaces and second surfaces, the second surfaces including a laterally outwardly extending lip and a plurality of spaced apart first beads formed thereon, the first surfaces including a plurality of spaced apart second beads formed thereon, wherein a depth of the lip is larger than a depth of the first beads, wherein the lips of pairs of plates are connected and the second beads of the pairs of plates are connected, and wherein a first plurality of flow passages is formed between the first surfaces of adjacent plates, and a second plurality of flow passages is formed between the second surfaces of adjacent plates.
- The above, as well as other objects and advantages of the invention, will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art from reading the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention when considered in the light of the accompanying drawings in which:
-

Thethird beads 42 have a depth (not depicted) extending from thefirst surface 11 and terminating in a substantially flatdistal end 45. It is understood that thedistal end 45 of thethird beads 42 can be curved as desired. In the embodiment shown, the depth of thethird beads 42 is larger than the depth d2 of thesecond beads 36. - In the embodiment shown, the
first beads 32, thesecond beads 36, and thethird beads 42 are formed in a pattern of a plurality of rows. It is understood that thebeads first beads 32, thesecond beads 36, and thethird beads 42, wherein the number of thesecond beads 36 and thethird beads 42 in certain rows is zero (0). The rows of thebeads main body portion 16 of the plate 10 a predetermined distance. - When assembled, a pair of plates are brazed together to form a
heat exchange plate 50, as shown inFIG. 3 . One of theplates 10 is oriented as shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , and the other of the plates is inverted from the orientation ofFIGS. 1 and 2 to permit correspondinglips 26 to abut one another. Thelips 26 of the pair of theplates 10 are brazed together. Thus, thefirst surfaces 11 of the pairs ofplates 10 are exposed. The first surfaces 11 of the pair of brazedplates 10 are then brazed together at the raisedlips second beads 36, and thethird beads 42 to form astack 44. Agap 45 is formed between thefirst surfaces 11 of adjacentheat exchanger plates 50. - The
first apertures 20 of theheath exchanger plates 50 in thestack 44 are aligned and cooperate to form a first conduit (not shown). Thesecond apertures 24 of theplates 10 in thestack 44 are aligned and cooperate to form a second conduit (not shown). A first plurality of flow passages (not shown) is formed in theheat exchange plates 50 between thesecond surfaces 13 of brazedadjacent plates 10. A second plurality of flow passages is formed within thegaps 45 formed by thefirst surfaces 11 ofadjacent plates 10. The second plurality of flow passages formed by thegaps 45 between adjacentheat exchanger plates 50 is in fluid communication with a pair of flow headers (not shown). - A first mounting
plate 54 is disposed on and brazed to theplate 10 at a first end of thestack 44. A second mountingplate 56 is disposed on and brazed to theplate 10 at a second end of thestack 44. The first mountingplate 54 includes a first aperture (not shown) that is aligned with the first conduit and a second aperture (not shown) that is aligned with the second conduit. Thestack 44 includes afluid inlet conduit 66 in fluid communication with the first conduit and afluid outlet conduit 68 in communication with the second conduit. - In use a first fluid (not shown) such as radiator fluid or oil, for example, flows through the
fluid inlet conduit 66 into the first conduit. The first fluid flows through thechannels 21 and into the first plurality of flow passages formed in theheat exchanger plates 50 between thesecond surfaces 13 of brazedadjacent plates 10. As the first fluid travels through the first plurality of flow passages, the first fluid flows around thefirst beads 32, which cause the first fluid to be turbulated. Thereafter, the first fluid flows through thechannels 25 into the second fluid conduit and out of thestack 44 through thefluid outlet conduit 68. - A second fluid (not shown) such as a coolant, for example, is caused to flow through the
gaps 45. As the second fluid flows through thegaps 45, the second fluid flows across thefirst surfaces 11 including thefirst beads 32, which cause the second fluid to be turbulated. Additionally, heat is transferred from the first fluid to the second fluid. It is understood that heat can also be transferred from the second fluid to the first fluid. - The turbulation caused by the
first beads 32 to the first fluid and the second fluid minimizes a need for a separate turbulating fin to be disposed between theplates 10. Accordingly, a cost of materials and a weight are minimized. - It should be appreciated that the
plates 10 could be used for heat exchangers in other applications besides motor vehicles. -
FIGS. 4 and 5 show abeaded plate 110 for a heat exchanger (not shown) in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. Theplate 110 is formed from a metal material such as aluminum or an aluminum alloy, for example. Theplate 110 extends longitudinally from afirst end 112 to asecond end 114, and includes afirst surface 111 and an opposedsecond surface 113. Amain body portion 116 of the plate is disposed between thefirst end 112 and thesecond end 114, and has a substantially rectangular shape in plan. - The
first end 112 of theplate 110 includes a raisedlip 118 surrounding anaperture 120. The raisedlip 118 forms a circular shaped channel (not shown) in thesecond side 113 of theplate 110. A plurality of raisedportions 121 is formed in thefirst end 112. The raised portions plate form channels (not shown) in thesecond side 113 of theplate 110. The channels extend from the channel opposite the raisedlip 118 to themain body portion 116. It is understood that more or fewer channels can be formed in thefirst end 112 as desired. - The
second end 114 of theplate 110 includes a raisedlip 122 surrounding anaperture 124. The raisedlip 122 forms a circular shaped channel (not shown) in thesecond side 113 of theplate 110. A plurality of raisedportions 125 is formed in thesecond end 114. The raisedportions 125 form channels (not shown) in thesecond side 113 of theplate 110. The channels extend from themain body portion 116 to the channel opposite the raisedlip 122. It is understood that additional or fewer channels can be formed in thesecond end 114 as desired. - As more clearly shown in

Theplate 110 also includes a plurality of spaced apartfirst beads 132 extending laterally outwardly from thesecond surface 113. In a preferred embodiment, thefirst beads 132 are general wave shaped. Thefirst beads 132 have a depth d11. In the embodiment shown, the depth d10 of thelip 126 is substantially similar to the depth d11 of thefirst beads 132, although other depths can be used as desired. - The
plate 110 also includes a plurality of spaced apartsecond beads 136 extending laterally outwardly from thefirst surface 111 of theplate 110. Thesecond beads 136 are generally trapezoid shaped and have a predetermined width such as five millimeters, for example. It is understood that a larger or smaller width can be used. Thesecond beads 136 have a depth d12. In the embodiment shown, the depth d12 of thesecond beads 136 is larger than the depth d11 of thefirst beads 132, although other depths can be used. Adistal end 140 of thesecond beads 136 is generally flat. It is understood that thesecond beads 136 can be dome shaped or have other shapes as desired. - The
plate 110 includes a plurality of spaced apartthird beads 142 that are substantially ovoid or football shaped, and extend laterally outwardly from thefirst surface 111. Thethird beads 142 have a depth (not depicted) extending from thefirst surface 111 and terminating in a substantially flatdistal end 145. It is understood that thedistal end 145 of thethird beads 142 can be curved as desired. In the embodiment shown, the depth of thethird beads 142 is larger than the depth d12 of thesecond beads 136. - In the embodiment shown, the
first beads 132, thesecond beads 136, and thethird beads 142 are formed in a pattern of a plurality of rows. It is understood that thebeads first beads 132, thesecond beads 136, and thethird beads 142, wherein the number of thesecond beads 136 and thethird beads 142 in certain rows is zero (0). The rows of thebeads main body portion 116 of the plate 110 a predetermined distance. - When assembled, a pair of
plates 110 are brazed together to form a heat exchange plate (not shown) as discussed above. One of theplates 110 is oriented as shown inFIGS. 4 and 5 , and the other of the plates is inverted from the orientation ofFIGS. 4 and 5 to permit correspondinglips 126 to abut one another. Thelips 126 of the pair of theplates 110 are brazed together. Thus, thefirst surfaces 111 of the pairs ofplates 110 are exposed. Thefirst surfaces 111 of the pair of brazedplates 110 are then brazed together at the raisedlips second beads 136, and thethird beads 142 to form a stack (not shown). A gap (not shown) is formed between thefirst surfaces 111 of adjacent heat exchanger plates. - The
first apertures 120 of the heath exchanger plates in the stack are aligned and cooperate to form a first conduit (not shown). Thesecond apertures 124 of theplates 110 in the stack are aligned and cooperate to form a second conduit (not shown). A first plurality of flow passages (not shown) is formed in the heat exchange plates between thesecond surfaces 113 of brazedadjacent plates 110. A second plurality of flow passages (not shown) is formed within the gaps formed by thefirst surfaces 111 ofadjacent plates 110. The second plurality of flow passages formed by the gaps between adjacent heat exchanger plates is in fluid communication with a pair of flow headers (not shown). - Use of the
plates 110 is substantially similar to use of theplates 10 as discussed above forFIGS. 1-3 . The turbulation caused by thefirst beads 132 to the first fluid and the second fluid minimizes a need for a separate turbulating fin to be disposed between theplates 110. Accordingly, a cost of materials and a weight are minimized. - It should be appreciated that the
plates 110 could be used for heat exchangers in other applications besides motor vehicles. - From the foregoing description, one ordinarily skilled in the art can easily ascertain the essential characteristics of this invention and, without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, can make various changes and modifications to the invention to adapt it to various usages and conditions.
