<熱交換器10の構成>
図1は、本発明の一実施形態に係る熱交換器の外観斜視図であり、図2は、図1のA部の拡大斜視図である。図1、図2において、熱交換器10は、扁平管11、波形フィン12及びヘッダ15を備えている。
(扁平管11)
扁平管11は、アルミニウムまたはアルミニウム合金から成形されており、伝熱面となる平面部11aと、冷媒が流れる複数の冷媒流路11bを有している(図2参照)。図2に示すように、扁平管11は、平面部11aを上下に向けた状態で複数段配列されている。
波形フィン12は、波形に折り曲げられたアルミニウム製またはアルミニウム合金製のフィンである。図2に示すように、波形フィン12は、上下に隣接する扁平管11に挟まれた通風空間に配置され、谷部12g及び山部12hが扁平管11の平面部11aと接触している。なお、谷部12gと山部12hと平面部11aとはロウ付け溶接されている。
伝熱面12aは、通風空間を通過する空気と熱交換する部分であり、効率よく熱交換を行うためのルーバー12cを有している。ルーバー12cは、伝熱面12aの一方の面から他方の面へ貫通する開口を形成している。説明の便宜上、図2正面視において、伝熱面12aの右側の面を「第1面」、左側の面を「第2面」と呼ぶ。空気流は伝熱面12aの第1面及び第2面を撫ぜるように通過するので、伝熱面12aの中央から上流側に位置するルーバー12c群は、空気流が第2面からから第1面へ流れるように傾いており、伝熱面12aの中央から下流側に位置するルーバー12c群は、空気流が第1面からから第2面へ流れるように傾いている。
図1において、ヘッダ15は、上下方向に複数段配列された扁平管11の両端に連結されている。説明の便宜上、図1の正面視右側のヘッダを「第1ヘッダ151」と呼び、左側のヘッダを「第2ヘッダ152」と呼ぶ。第1ヘッダ151及び第2ヘッダ152は、扁平管11を支持する機能と、冷媒を扁平管11の冷媒流路11bに導く機能と、冷媒流路11bから出てきた冷媒を集合させる機能とを有している。
(冷媒の流れ)
図1において、第1ヘッダ151の入口151aから流入した冷媒は、最上段の扁平管11の各冷媒流路11bへほぼ均等に分配され第2ヘッダ152に向って流れる。第2ヘッダ152に達した冷媒は、2段目の扁平管11の各冷媒流路11bへ均等に分配され第1ヘッダ151へ向って流れる。以降、奇数段目の扁平管11内の冷媒は、第2ヘッダ152へ向って流れ、偶数段目の扁平管11内の冷媒は、第1ヘッダ151に向って流れる。そして、最下段で且つ偶数段目の扁平管11内の冷媒は、第1ヘッダ151に向って流れ、第1ヘッダ151で集合し出口151bから流出する。
(結露水の流れ)
一般に、扁平管11が平面部11aを上下に向けて配列されているとき、熱交換器表面の水はけが悪く、蒸発器として利用した場合、滞留した結露水が空気流の抵抗となり、熱交換性能が低下することがある。
しかし、本実施形態の熱交換器10では、図2に示すように、波形フィン12の幅を扁平管11の幅よりも大きくして、波形フィン12の両端部を通風空間からはみ出させているので、結露水は波形フィン12の両端部を介して下方へ流れ、結露水が波形フィン12に滞留しない。以後、波形フィン12の通風空間からはみ出た部分を「導水部12d」と呼ぶ。
(切り起し部12b)
図3は、波形に折り曲げられる前の波形フィンの平面図である。図3において、折り曲げ前の波形フィン12には、ルーバー12c群が長手方向に等間隔で形成されている。ルーバー12c群に挟まれた領域は、折り曲げ後に谷部12g又は山部12hとなる領域であり、以後、「曲げ予定域」と呼ぶ。
曲げ予定域が実際に谷状又は山状に折り曲げられたとき、第1切り込み線121と第2切り込み線122とで囲まれた鋭角三角形部分、及び第2切り込み線122と曲げ予定域の端とで囲まれた鋭角三角形部分は、共に切り起されて切り起し部12bとなる。図2に示すように、切り起し部12bは、波形フィン12の上方又は下方に向って突出するので、上下に隣接する波形フィン12の切り起し部12b同士が接触する。
<特徴>
熱交換器10では、波形に折り曲げられる前の波形フィン12の素材に、折り曲げ部分の仮想中心線Xと交差する第1切り込み線121と第1切り込み線121の終端近傍から延びて仮想中心線Xに交差する第2切り込み線122とが設けられており、折り曲げによって少なくとも第1切り込み線121と第2切り込み線122とで挟まれた鋭角三角形部分が起き上がって切り起し部12bができる。切り起し部12bの根元と頂点との距離は従来品(特許文献2)よりも長く、上下に隣接する波形フィン12の切り起し部12b同士の接触量が増加するので、結露水が切り起し部12bを伝わり易くなり、水はけ性が向上する。
上記実施形態では、第2切り込み線122が仮想中心線Xと交差しているが、これに限定されるものではない。図4は、第1変形例に係る熱交換器の斜視図であり、図5は、第1変形例に係る熱交換器の波形に折り曲げられる前の波形フィンの平面図である。
図5において、曲げ予定域の両端から内側へ一定距離隔てた位置には、曲げ予定域の仮想中心線Xと直交する第1切り込み線131が設けられている。第1切り込み線131の長さは、扁平管11の厚み程度であればよい。さらに、仮想中心線Xと平行に第1切り込み線131の一端から曲げ予定域の端に向って第2切り込み線132が設けられている。以後、第1切り込み線131及び第2切り込み線132を総称して切り込み線130と呼ぶ。
<第2変形例>
上記実施形態及び第1変形例では、切り込み線120,130が2本で構成されているが、これに限定されるものではない。図6は、第2変形例に係る熱交換器の斜視図であり、図7は、第2変形例に係る熱交換器の波形に折り曲げられる前の波形フィンの平面図である。
さらに、仮想中心線Xと平行に第1切り込み線131の一端から曲げ予定域の端に向って第2切り込み線132が設けられている。第2切り込み線132の長さは、第1切り込み線131から曲げ予定域の端までの距離のほぼ半分に設定されている。
さらに、第2切り込み線132の終端から第1切り込み線131と平行に第3切り込み線133が設けられている。第3切り込み線133の長さは、第1切り込み線131の長さに等しい。
さらに、仮想中心線Xと平行に第3切り込み線133の一端から曲げ予定域の端まで第4切り込み線134が設けられている。第4切り込み線134は、仮想中心線Xを挟んで第2切り込み線132の反対側に位置する。
ここで、上記実施形態、第1変形例及び第2変形例の特徴を比較すると、上記実施形態は、図2に示すように、切り込み線の周辺に2つの切り起し部12bができるので、上下に隣接する波形フィン12の切り起し部12b同士の接触信頼性が第1変形例よりも高い。
第2変形例は、図6に示すように、1つの切り起し部12bの面積は第1変形例の半分であるが、切り込み線の周辺に2つの切り起し部12bができるので、上下に隣接する波形フィン12の切り起し部12b同士の総接触面積は第1変形例と同等である。また、上下に隣接する波形フィン12の切り起し部12b同士の接触信頼性は上記実施形態と同等である。
